Schwerdt-Spitz-Bobins copy

The Schwerdt-Spitz-Bobins copy of this rare early Alken series, issued without a title-page and which Schwerdt says was 'One of the author's favourites'.

Few Alken prints are lithographic, and these have strikingly fresh colouring.

First edition; landscape folio; 6 fine hand-coloured lithograph plates by Hullmandel after Alken, interleaved with blank Whatman paper of the same date, later green half morocco with green morocco label to upper cover, cloth slip-case, a fine copy.

Schwerdt III, p.83; Siltzer p.59; Bobins 1388 (this copy).
