Description

First edition of this rare colour plate book in the medieval chivalric genre.

With 24 handcoloured copperplates attributed to Thomas Rowlandson, and doggerel verse in the style of frequent collaborator William Combe. Probably inspired by the success of Walter Scott's Ivanhoe published in 1819 and the Regency craze for all things medieval Gothic.

A ripping yarn with Sir Ethelbert romancing the fair Adelaide, despite the evil machinations of rival knight Gondibert. The plates depict knights in armour in combat at tournaments, sword-fighting duels, dastardly deeds, pageantry and courtly love.

Condition: Both plates and text with spots of foxing, title page with closed tear, 2cm hole in text page 37, childish scribbling on rear of Plate 13, general signs of use throughout. Binding with gilt decoration on spine, red title label, five raised bands. some scuffing to edges.

Printed for William Sams, bookseller to H.R.H. the Duke of York, 1 St James's-Street, 1823. His plate books such as A Tour Through Paris and The Life of a Soldier were noted for their fine hand-colouring.

Ticket of Myers & Co., print and bookdealers or 80 New Bond Street, London.
