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.

1820ref. 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.

ref. 02645London: R. Ackermann 1820. The Great Color-Plate Book of Early Argentina One of Only Fifty Atlas Large-Paper Copies of Ackermann's Magnificent Buenos Ayres and Monte Video VIDAL Emeric Essex. Picturesque Illustrations of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video Consisting of Twenty-Four Views; accompanied with Descriptions of the Scenery and of the Costumes Manners &c. of the Inhabitants of those Cities and their Environs. London: Published by R. Ackermann. Printed by L. Harrison 1820. First edition. One of only fifty Atlas large-paper copies. Atlas quarto 15 5/8 x 12 1/2 inches; 397 x 317 mm. xxviii 115 1 blank pp. Twenty-four magnificent hand-colored aquatint plates including four double-page folding panoramas one incorporating two views. Text and plates watermarked 1818 and 1820. Publisher's original green morocco-grain cloth covers elaborately blocked in blind spine decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt yellow coated endpapers. Very slight wear at the upper joint inner hinges neatly strengthened. Housed in a green cloth slipcase. A beautiful unusually fresh copy. One of the masterpieces of nineteenth-century travel illustration and unquestionably the most important English color-plate book devoted to the Río de la Plata during the formative years of Argentine independence. Issued by Rudolph Ackermann at the height of his publishing career Vidal's Picturesque Illustrations combines superb aquatint engraving with brilliant contemporary hand-coloring to create one of the finest visual records of early nineteenth-century South America. Emeric Essex Vidal served with the Royal Navy in the Río de la Plata between 1816 and 1818 only a few years after the region had broken from Spanish rule. Unlike many travel artists who relied upon second-hand sketches or romantic invention Vidal drew directly from life recording Buenos Aires Montevideo and the surrounding pampas with exceptional accuracy sympathy and artistic accomplishment. His views preserve an emerging nation at a pivotal historical moment before the rapid political and economic transformation of the nineteenth century forever altered its landscape and society. The twenty-four aquatints form an unrivaled pictorial survey of the region. Sweeping panoramas of Buenos Aires and Montevideo are complemented by intimate scenes of daily life: bustling marketplaces churches and public squares gauchos estancias soldiers indigenous peoples horse races ostrich hunts wine mule convoys rural laborers and the famous South Matadero. Together they constitute one of the earliest and most comprehensive ethnographic portraits of Argentina and Uruguay ever published remarkable both for their documentary precision and for their extraordinary artistic beauty. The present copy belongs to the Atlas issue limited to only fifty copies produced on substantially larger paper for the most discerning collectors and institutions. Martin Hardie records that the ordinary edition consisted of 750 copies making the Atlas issue one of the rarest deluxe publications produced by Ackermann. The generous margins dramatically enhance the visual impact of the plates particularly the four spectacular folding panoramas which rank among the finest achievements of the English aquatint tradition. The binding itself appears to represent an unrecorded publisher's variant. Abbey describes only the large-paper issue bound in red cloth whereas the present copy retains its original green morocco-grain cloth decorated with a slightly different spine design omitting the wording "24 Plates Coloured." Such variants are seldom encountered and add further bibliographical interest to an already exceptional copy. Martin Hardie rightly regarded the aquatints as possessing "a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value." That judgment has only strengthened with time. Today Vidal's work is recognized not merely as one of Ackermann's greatest travel books but as the definitive visual record of the Río de la Plata in the years immediately following independence - a cornerstone of South American iconography and one of the supreme achievements of the English color-plate book.

Limited Reprint Edition of 3470 of which this is No.1489. Quarto; xxviii 115pp. Twenty-five full-color watercolors reproduced on 24 bound-in plates including four landscape-format fold-out plates. Broché in cream cardstock with front cover reproducing original 1820 allegorical frame in brown. Nude spine. Binding toned minimally soiled all corners politely abraded. Spine paper flaking and showing six vertical cracks but holding well. About one third of back cover detached at joint but still stably connected. All illustrations present with bright colors and without misfolds; textblock unmarred and unmarked. Vidal was a British naval officer and talented watercolorist. His work is celebrated for the enlightened conspectus of landscape cityscape social mores financial structures and multiple demographic and social classes he sought to describe. His watercolors-all clear handsome and informative-avoid the predictably picturesque to show without condescension what was striking and different about lives in Argentina. The overall tone of both images and text is documentary; the overall result is far more enlightening than the usual colonial travelogue. Editorial Viau SRL [R. Ackermann] unknown books

Includes an introduction and a running narrative by the artist. The illustrations appear in color here; one presumes that in the 1820 edition they did not have the benefit of such technology. As such this book should be of interest to both art lovers and historians with an Argentinian focus. #1225 of 3470 copies. Editorial Viau S. R. Ltda paperback books
