Récit sous forme de lettres d'un voyage du bibliographe Dibdin en 1818 à Dieppe Caen Rouen Paris et Strasbourg avec description des curiosités archéologiques et des bibliothèques publiques. Dibdin visita les imprimeurs et les libraires Brunet Debure Renouard etc. acheta quelques ouvrages et invita à dîner avant de quitter Paris Van Praet Langlès Vivant-Denon et Millin. On a reproché à Dibdin un esprit par trop caustique outre le fait qu'il se met souvent en scène avec une vanité naïve. Les traducteurs français Crapelet et Licquet épinglent ses bévues sans ménagement sans toutefois saisir le sel de ses prétentions à l'humour. Les rédacteurs du DNB sont tout aussi sévères. Il fallait attendre le petit ouvrage de O'Dwyer Thomas Frognall Dibdin Londres 1967 pour rendre justice à l'enthousiasme et aux savantes délices du bibliophile anglais.Provenance : Collection Marcel Aubreton 1934-2019.

Rare: We have been unable to trace any other copies. Thomas Robert Colman Dibdin 1810-1893 was an English water color artist and teacher. He became an artist at the age of 28 and traveled to France Germany and Belgium. He also did paintings in Gibraltar and India although the latter were created in England based on detailed sketches. In 1845 he published a guide to water color painting. Edward Vivian 1808-1893 was an influential figure in the development of Torquay particularly noted for his extensive contributions to the town's social and educational institutions. Born in 1808 Vivian was educated at Oxford University where he developed a broad range of interests and skills. His first encounter with Torquay occurred during a sailing trip along the coasts of Wales and Devon a discovery that ultimately led him to settle in the town. Vivian's dedication to enhancing the lives of the working classes was a driving force behind his involvement in numerous local initiatives. As the first treasurer of the Torquay Museum Society he played a pivotal role in its establishment and growth. His work Scenery of Torquay and Babbicombe published around 1841 featured five hand-colored lithographs and depicted the picturesque landscapes of Torquay and Babbicombe reflecting his artistic talents and his appreciation for the area's natural beauty. Vivian was also an avid sportsman horticulturist photographer artist and illustrator. These interests were not only personal hobbies but also areas in which he sought to engage and elevate the community. His artistic skills in particular are well represented in the Torquay Museum's collections showcasing his ability to capture and convey the beauty of his surroundings. Edward Vivian's multifaceted contributions to Torquay left a lasting legacy cementing his reputation as a great Victorian polymath whose work significantly impacted the moral and intellectual upliftment of the local working classes. His diverse skills and relentless dedication to social improvement continue to be celebrated through the institutions and collections that thrive in Torquay today. The Plates: 1. Tor Church 2.

One of a very few books by Dibdin that went into a second edition. "The collation is very irregular by reason of the fact that all illustrations in the text being printed on India paper pasted-in are on separately inserted leaves . This Voyage Pittoresque is lavishly illustrated mainly with copperplates after drawings by G.R. Lewis and others. Dibdin says he spent over 7000 pounds on the book being the first patron to pay 100 guineas for a plate . It has been unkindly said of this book that it would have been better without any text. However it does contain a modicum of bibliographical information that is still useful if used with due caution" Jackson. Lowndes notes that it "contains much useful and curious information" on the libraries and private collections of Europe. The second edition of 1829 is abridged and omits all but 5 of the original plates. Jackson 48. Windle & Pippin A38a and A44. unknown books
