1816rif. 850.1816London J. Coxhead 1816. Publisher's printed gray boards copy set within decorative borders; spine renewed with matching paper.Based upon Holbein's original 15th century designs Wenceslaus Hollar the Bohemian etcher born in Prague in 1607 created copper plates for his own Dance of Death. In 1647 an edition of 30 copperplates was brought out in London; another edition from these plates was published in 1651. The plates then disappeared from sight until the late 18th-early 19th centuries when several editions from the "newly discovered" plates began to appear. In this copy which appears "as issued" by the publisher the plate section is gathered together at the front just after the title-page and before the letterpress i.e. "The Life of Holbein" followed by an essay on the history of the dance of death called "The Dance of Death" is followed by "Descriptions of the Cuts in Hollar's Dance of Death" in English and French. At the end is a short essay entitled "The Dance of Macaber". Typically these copies in boards were handed over to bookbinders who before sewing the gatherings interleaved the descriptive text with the plates. It is HIGHLY UNCOMMON to find the work in the original boards in such an unsophisticated state. According to a notice on the boards the work was issued by Coxhead coloured for 25s and plain for 16s.

1825rif. 7751825London William Charlton Wright 1825. 8vo. Publisher's printed boards rubbed and hand soiled with a calf spine; internally quite nice.First edition of what purports to be the work of John Bewick but probably is not. As Aldred Warthin The Physician of the Dance of Death. pp. 81-82 writes: "The cuts with several exceptions are imitations of the original Holbein but are absurdly modernized; both the costumes and the properties are represented in the contemporary style.they have somewhat the quality of caricature in them.If these cuts are Bewick's which Douce seems to doubt they are far inferior to his other work and executed in a different style. They represent a far departure from the old medieval conceptions and treatment and betray the tendency of the early nineteenth century to use the Dance of Death motive for purposes of caricature." Comparison with either of Bewick's 1789 editions the London edition and the notably rare Charnley/Newcastle imprint bears this out. AN EDITION SELDOM MET WITH!See: Douce Francis. Holbein's Dance of Death. Lon. 1858. Not in the Susan Minns collection sold by AAA Galleries in 1922 which contained the other Bewick printings.

1843rif. 625.1843Basel Chez Maehli-Lamy 1843. 8vo. three-quarter green cloth over marbled boards with the title stamped in gilt on the spine and bookplate of Edward Cheney on front pastedown. This bilingual edition begins with a short history of the subject followed by a series of woodcuts portraying the usual array of humankind confronting Death personified. A number of the plates bear the initials GS along with a rendering of a knife to signify the name of the wood cutter George Scharffenberg who first cut these images into wood in 1576. As Aldred Warthin The Physician and the Dance of Death points out "Most of these 18th century editions by de Mechel have 41 woodcuts as does ours 27 from Holbein 7 from the Basel Totentanz and 7 probably from the Totentanz in Berne.Numerous cheap reproductions of these were issued in Basel during the first half of the nineteenth century." Our edition has cuts that measure a generous 4 3/8 x 3 inches and are close copies of the originals. In over thirty years of searching it is the very first copy of this edition we have seen.

1803rif. 21501803London W. Smith for John Scott & Thomas Ostell 1803. Squarish small 4to. original gray publisher's boards with a printed paper label: Holbein's Dance of Death with Fifty Plates. Twelve Shillings. Rebacked a few plates guarded slight widespread spotting. RARE IN THIS STATE. As to the plates themselves there are fifty as the cover label states the title-page calls for 46 and they differ in number slightly from another edition of the same year printed by S. Gosnell for Scott and Ostell. What's more they are not set within decorative borders and the letterpress and title-page differs significantly from the other edition in both typeface and format; here the text is gathered in an integral section that precedes the plates in the other edition the plates are integrated into the text we know of another copy in the publishers gray boards in which the plates are untrimmed and gathered in a section after the letterpress. Thirty of the plates are copies from Hollar's designs the rest are from the spurious editions of Holbein's cuts with variations. The last plate not mentioned by Douce as being in this work and often lacking is a design by De Mechel called "Petite Danse de Morts" which was originally engraved on the sheath of a poignard after drawings by Holbein. The work was first published in Edinburgh in 1788. According to Aldred Warthin "The paper used in the Edinburgh edition is extremely poor which may account for the poor impressions of the plates.and The prints in these London editions are much better than those of the Edinburgh and a better quality of paper is used." The quality of the plates in the two 1803 editions is similar as to wear the impressions of the Gosnell-printed edition are however considerable darker than are those printed by Smith. See" Warthin Aldred S. The Physician of the Dance of Death. pp. 79-80. Douce Francis. The Dance of Death. pp. 135-36. Minns Collection. AAA Catalogue 1922.

1803rif. 2250.1803London S. Gosnell 1803. Sm. 4to. contemporary paneled calf with blind decorated sides and spine which has been rebacked much earlier; red morocco label all edges stained red. Occasional foxing mainly to the beginning and end; a handsome well-printed copy. The 46 Dance of Death plates are within separately engraved borders in four different designs three of which are copied with slight variations from the Diepenbeke borders to W. Hollar's plates. As to the plates themselves 30 are copies from Hollar's designs the rest are from the spurious editions of Holbein's cuts with variations. The last plate not mentioned by Douce as being in this work and often lacking is a design by De Mechel called "Petite Danse de Morts" which was originally engraved on the sheath of a poignard after drawings by Holbein. The work was first published in Edinburgh in 1788. According to Aldred Warthin "The paper used in the Edinburgh edition is extremely poor which may account for the poor impressions of the plates. Two other editions of Deuchar were printed by S. Gosnell London in 1803 one WITH and one WITHOUT the Diepenbeke borders. The prints in these London editions are much better than those of the Edinburgh and a better quality of paper is used." It would appear that Warthin did not know that there were two editions of 1803 printed for Scott by two different printers S. Gosnell and W. Smith & Co. See: Warthin Aldred S. The Physician of the Dance of Death. pp. 79-80. Douce Francis. The Dance of Death. pp. 135-36. Minns Collection. AAA Catalogue 1922.
