[BEWICK, JOHN & THOMAS]. Somerville, William.

The Chase. A Poem.

London W. Bulmer 1796 Quarto. xv, vii, 126 pp. First edition. With many illustrations drawn by JohnBewick, and because of his illness and premature death, engraved on wood by his brother Thomas. D.B. Updike says of this book, which was beautifully printed by Bulmer at the Shakespeare Printing Office, that William Martin's types "are charming transitional Roman fonts, both delicate and spirited, and so thoroughly English that Bewick's engravings seem completely in harmony with them." Few spots of marginal foxing to last gathering, else internally pristine. In a handsome emerald morocco binding by Riviere. A.e.g. With the armorial bookplate of Walter Cunliffe.
