About This Item
London: Day & Son for F.G. Moon,, 1846-49. SUBSCRIBERS EDITION. Lithograph by Louis Haghe after Roberts, 34.5 x 51 cms, with original hand colour, trimmed to the edge of the image and mounted on card as issued. An example from the scarce deluxe edition of the work, generally referred to as the subscribers edition; published concurrently with the standard first edition - at roughly twice the price - it wasnt strictly limited to subscribers, but the premium for the fine colouring was evidently considered prohibitive and there are far fewer examples in circulation today. From the first edition of Egypt and Nubia, which in Abbeys words, together with Roberts The Holy Land (1842-45, Abbey 385) forms one of the most important and elaborate ventures in nineteenth-century publishing, and ... the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph. Abbey, Travel, 272. Print
