London: Thomas McLean, 1826. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Not called for>. By the Author. The Sketch Book of Henry Alken Engraved by Himself" London 1826. Forty two Hand coloured plates.Original half calf oblong binding with leather title label. Could be a reprint of the 1820 edition. The plates are dated 1820. For whatever reason Alken/ McLean decided to rename it "The Sketchbook of Henry Alken" as opposed to earlier editions they named "Scraps from the Sketch-Book of Henry Alken" However, something of a curiosity. The binding is tight.There is light foxing and soiling without affecting the plates.There are some tissue guards present. The plates are exceptionally bright. Contact seller in relation to postage.
