MR. ANDREW W. TUER.
(Dedicated by gracious permission to Her Majesty the Queen.)
The Follies and Fashions of Our Grand-Fathers (1807). Embellished with Thirty-seven whole-page Plates, including Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Dress (hand-coloured and heightened with gold and silver), Sporting and Coaching Scenes (hand-coloured), Fanciful Prints, Portraits of Celebrities, etc. (many from original copper-plates). By Andrew W. Tuer, author of “Bartolozzi and his Works,’ etc. LONDON: Field & Tuer, The Leadenhall Press, E.C.
Large paper copies, crown 4to, with earliest impressions of the plates; 250 only, signed and numbered, at Three Guineas.
Demy 8vo copies at Twenty-five Shillings.
QUAINT, amusing, dependable, and distinctly covetable. The binding more than suggests buckskin breeches and needlework samplers: in fact, they are there. The extra illustrations include many quaint prints of the period printed direct from the original copper-plates.
“May at any time be confidently dipped into by readers in search of quiet diversion.”—Graphic.
1,000 Quaint Cuts from Books of Other Days, including Amusing Illustrations from Children’s Story Books, Fables, Chap-books, etc., etc.; a Selection of Pictorial Initial Letters and Curious Designs and Ornaments, from Original Wooden Blocks belonging to The Leadenhall Press. LONDON: Field & Tuer, The Leadenhall Press, E.C.
