Hand-colored etching 20.5 x 16.5 cm with the caption "Sans Souci Jun." With the portrait is the manuscript note: "This Portrait of myself / taken in the palmy days of white neckcloths and frills / when I was as you see rather younger than at present is presented / by Thomas Dibdin April 28 1841." Around the image of Dibdin are depictions of his plays and songs. A fine portrait of the actor and writer Thomas John Dibdin 1771-1841 who like the other famous thespian Dibdins was involved in the English theater from an early age. Thomas John was one of three illegitimate children of Charles Dibdin and actress Harriet Pitt and in his early years on stage he used the name "T. Merchant" and his writings were published anonymously a fact that the artist Dighton makes a playful reference to in giving the subject of his portrait the name "Sans Souci Jun." Charles Dibdin was the owner of the San Souci Theater in London. See the ODNB for both Thomas John and Charles Dibdin. (London:) Drawn, etch'd & pub.by Dighton, Charing Cross, April, 1799 unknown

Contemporary calf with red leather labels gilt edge decoration 8vo. clxxx 141. 320 pp ills. Attractively printed by William Bulmer -his first work for Dibdin. The text leaves something to be desired- as Lister comments "Dibdin announced on his title page that he was presenting the public with a new edition of Robinson's translation as printed by Abraham Vele in 1551 whereas he actually reproduced Alsop's edition of 1639 which in his Introduction p.clxxiii he had condemned as "one of the most careless and erroneous extant." He did so because it was easier to print from. Vele's text was set in black letter. " Dibdin's chief contribution was his 180 pages of introduction and a vast array of Dibdinesque footnotes.

Extremities rubbed with slight powdering to joints bindings firm and sound minor marks and scuffs to covers and one or two minor marks to contents contents generally clean but with a little scattered foxing principally to endpapers and frontispieces.

Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776-1847 born in Calcutta India English bibliographer who helped to stimulate interest in bibliography by his own enthusiastic though often inaccurate books by his share in founding the first English private publishing society and by his beautifully produced catalog of Lord Spencer's library which collection later became the nucleus of the John Rylands Library Manchester. His father the captain of a sailing ship was the inspiration for his Uncle Charles Dibdin's song "Tom Bowling." Both of Dibdin's parents died on the passage from India to England in 1780 and at age four he became the ward of his mother's younger brother Charles Compton. Educated at St. John's College Oxford Dibdin began a legal career but took holy orders in 1805.
