By Baron J.J. von Gerning. Translated from German by John Black. Illustrated with a large folding map with coloured outlines and 24 full-page hand-coloured engravings after drawings by C.G. Sch?tz. London: R. Ackermann, 1820. First Edition in English, dedicated to King George IV. The engraved plates are elegantly and romantically hand-coloured. Several plates with the early issue watermarks 1817 and 1818, and all plates before numbers. Each of the plates except those depicting Mainz and Biberich match Tooley's first state. According to Ackermann's advertisements for the work, discussed fully by Abbey, this is one of 750 copies printed on 'large wove Elephant Vellum Paper' and 50 large paper copies were published in six monthly parts from October, 1819, to March, 1820. Gerning's first edition appeared at Wiesbaden in 1819, but it was not illustrated. A later German edition was published in 1822 at Frankfurt, containing 24 views. This Ackermann edition represents the first edition in English and the first illustrated edition. The original drawings were executed by Christian Georg Sch?tz (1758-1823) and were engraved by Sutherland and Havell. Artists and Engravers: The original drawings were executed by Christian Georg Sch?tz (1758-1823) and were engraved by Thomas Sutherland (c.1785-c.1820) or Daniel Havell (b. 1785). The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians. In particular, members of this family were among the foremost practitioners of aquatint; and had a long association with Indian art and culture. They are the English descendants of the aristocratic Hauteville family of Normandy. Subject: Plate: LiebensteinCondition: Very good considering it's age.
