Description:
iv, [2], 191 pp. Large folding map, 24 hand-colored aquatint engravings, and 2 hand-colored vignettes. 34x27 cm (13¼x11"), original red cloth decorated in blind, gilt-lettered spine, all edges gilt.
Nice example of these wonderfully hand-colored plates in the original cloth binding. Forrest's Picturesque Tour was intended as a companion to von Gerning's Picturesque Tour of the Rhine (1820) and was 'one of the first books of travel brought out by Ackermann' (Hardie 109). The first 120 pages or so of the book are given over to a history of India which is followed by the illustrated tours of the Ganges and the Jumna.
Condition
Some rubbing to cloth, corners worn, sunning to spine; creasing to endpapers, scattered light foxing, offsetting from plates; very good.
