HOLLAND P. Select Views of the Lakes in Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire, from Drawings made by P. Holland, Engraved by C. Rosenberg, (dedicated to) Daniel Daulby Esq., a Lover of the Arts. This Daulby`s copy with his bookplate of an artist reclining in a garden. 3 sets, each of 21 aquatint plates, the first with title "The Only Set of Proofs Extant" (these being proofs before letters), the 2nd set, again with title, being a "Pick`d set, one of thirty, before the line with the dates" & the 3rd set with title being "A pick`d set in brown, the plates retouched and finished". The latter interspersed with the relevant text leaves. Manuscript final leaf with notes & index. Oblong quarto. Red Russia. Liverpool, 1792. Daulby, the dedicatee, a brewer & collector, hailed from Liverpool as did Holland, and was married to the only sister of William Roscoe. Daulby retired to Rydal Mount in 1796. He was a compiler of a catalogue of Rembrandt etchings. After his death, his collection took up eight days of auction sales in Liverpool and four in London.
Scuffing to front and rear cover. Spine cracked and dried with traces of gilt lettering remaining. Yellowing to interior pages with foxing towards front section of book, plates appear unaffected.
