Edward DODWELL. Views in Greece, from Drawings by… London, Rodwell and Martin, (1819)–1821. Folio, red long-grain morocco, original covers reattached with double cold-stamped and gilt scrolls, spine with 5 decorated false raised bands (Modern binding). Abbey, 130 / Blackmer, 493 / Brunet, II-788 / Colas, 876 / Lipperheide, 1444 /// (33f.), 30 pl. Edward Dodwell (1767–1832), born into a family of English theologians and jurists, devoted himself to the study of antiquities. He traveled throughout Greece from 1801 to 1806 and then went to Italy, where he divided his time between Rome and Naples. He authored two accounts of his travels in Greece, including the one presented here, *Views in Greece*, in its first edition, which appeared in six installments between 1819 and 1830. It is illustrated with 30 hand-colored aquatints, printed separately, by R. Havell, T. Fielding, F.C. Lewis, and others, based on drawings made by Edward Dodwell during his travels in Greece in 1801, 1805, and 1806. The work also contains 33 printed leaves: the title page, the list of plates, a preliminary leaf, and an explanatory leaf for each plate, in English and French. The plates, mounted on stiff cardboard, had previously been used to illustrate Dodwell’s work *A Classical and Topographical Tour Through Greece…*, published in 1819, and the list of plates refers to that publication. Spine worn; original covers rubbed and restored.
