About This Item

London: Craddock and Joy, 1813. Hardcover. Very Good. 12mo. 242pp; list of plates, 2 pp. of adverts. Engraved frontispiece illustration and fifteen other copper engraved plates. The plates were originally made for Tabart & Co, and are dated August 1805.. Tabart had published an edition, which wasn’t dated with 16 copper plates. Presumably Craddock bought the plates and reissued them under his own imprints in 1813. Bound in the original morocco backed boards with plain grey paper covered boards. Some moderate wear; binding a little rubbed, some shelfwea, one engravings has some juvenile colour wash-see photo. A charming children's version of the classic adventure, uncommon in the original boards. . 'The first English novel', most likely based on the true story of the Scottish castaway Alexander Selkirk.
