Hecho despues de la edición original Londres Ackermann 1820. Bellas impressiones de las dos cuidades. - El pintor y acuarelista inglés Emeric Essex Vidal viajó por Argentina y Uruguay plasmando escenas de la ciudad y el campo. Sirvió en la Armada Británica lo que le permitió viajar extensamente por América Latina. Esta obra viene a ser su diario personal de viaje en el que recoge a través de las 24 ilustraciones pintorescas muchas escenas de Buenos Aires y las Pampas circundantes con comentarios sobre la raza la forma de vida y la economía junto con la esclavitud y la industria productiva. Relata también detalladamente los recursos naturales con especial atención al ganado. Ofrece una visión positiva de la jerarquía racial y sostiene que la jerarquía es buena y los de abajo la apoyan. Vidal llega a describir la institución de la esclavitud como beneficiosa e incluso que los esclavos eran felices porque sostiene: He visto a muchos negar la libertad cuando se les ofrece. Muestra también cuidado al mencionar que el trato a los esclavos es bueno y posiblmente mejor que en algunas de las colonias británicas.

1820réf. 179207London: R. Ackermann 1820. Stunning views of South America First edition a desirable copy with pre-publication watermarks dated 1818 of "the only notable colour plate book in English dealing with the Argentine" Tooley. The hand-painted aquatints offer some of the finest depictions of early 19th-century life customs and architecture in the Río de la Plata region. The English sailor Vidal 1791-1861 joined the Royal Navy in 1808 serving as a purser for the next five decades. The plates in his book were based on drawings he made when he visited South America with HMS Hyacinth in 1816-8 as secretary to the admiral on the South American Station. They constitute "the main source of pictorial information about early Argentina" Speake p. 39 and "possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" Hardie. Some of the scenes included are "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos of Tucman" and "A Horse Race". Vidal depicts the inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de la Plata Regions outdoor markets and plazas and buildings. "Through E. Vidal's watercolours. you get a sense of the city house facades Vidal never painted any interiors made not of rare stone but of baked adobe bricks called chorizos - sausages" Wilson p. 13. The work was first published in six monthly parts between May and October 1820. The early watermarks here suggest that this volume was possibly bound from the parts rather than from later book-form issues. Ackermann announced 750 small paper and 50 large paper copies. A comparison with the Abbey copy indicates that this example is from the smaller format. Large quarto 325 x 250 mm. With 24 hand-coloured aquatint plates 1 double-page 3 folding. Twentieth-century blue morocco to style spine with raised bands gilt lettering and decoration in compartments covers bordered with blind and gilt frames board edges and turn-ins elaborately gilt grey endpapers edges gilt. Light damp staining to margins of 3 folding plates tape repair on verso of "Buenos Ayres" plate offsetting to contents faintly toned but clean. A very good copy.
