TURNER, J[oseph] M[allard] W[illiam] [1775-1851].
[The Rivers Of France].
[London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, & Longman, 1837].
61 plates engraved by W.Miller, T.Higham, R.Brandard & others after drawings by Turner, all on India paper, mounted on folio sheets. with tissue guards. all plates titled in pencil on mount sheet. without the text. (significant to heavy foxing to 7 plates, light foxing to some others mostly affecting margins, small stain in lower margin of last plate). finely bound by W.Pratt in full red morocco, covers with gilt borders, gilt-tooled spine, gilt inside dentelles & gilt edges (light wear to extremities). First Edition. Special issue, without the text by Leitch Ritchie, of the plates that were engraved by William Miller, Thomas Higham, Robert Brandard & others after drawings executed by Turner for Wanderings By The Loire and Wanderings By The Seine, first published in 1833-35 in three volumes, and later reissued in 1837 as The Rivers Of France. All of the plates are proofs before letters on India paper, which are mounted on large folio sheets, with captions supplied in pencil on the mount sheets. "Turner made nearly nine hundred drawings for engravings on copper or steel.The close supervision he exercised over his engravers is attested by the hundreds of trial proofs recorded by W.G.Rawlinson in his catalogue of Turner's Engraved Work. Thus Rawlinson does not exaggerate when he writes that "probably no painter before him so well understood the methods, the capabilities, and the limitations of engraving." (I, ix). Turner's personal mark is as firmly impressed on his engraved illustrations, indeed, as is Dürer's on the woodcuts done from his designs." (Ray, p. 13) Ray praises Turner's work as one of the "supreme oeuvres of landscape illustration", further crowning the present series as his "best landscapes on steel". (Ibid., pp. 13 & p. 18) "The original studies.and the drawings made therefrom are among the most characteristic and perfect of [Turner's] works. Careless, as usual, as to exact topographical accuracy, they express the essential spirit and character of the localities, and the atmospheric effects peculiar to them." (DNB) See Luke Herrmann, Turner Prints The Engraved Work Of J.M.W.Turner, Chapt. 5, pp. 166-181, for a discussion of each of the engravings and Turner's original drawings. ".the evolution of the designs for The Rivers of France was painstaking and complex, and it is not surprising that the final drawings, of which a considerable number belonged to John Ruskin, who gave them to the Ashmolean and Fitzwilliam Museums, have long been considered as belonging to the finest works on paper produced by Turner in his fifties. The engravings after them are also of outstanding quality." Ray, The Illustrator And The Book In England From 1790 To 1914, 16 & pp. 13-18. Rawlinson, The Engraved Work of J.M.W.Turner, R.A. (the list of engravings as corrected and included in Luke Herrrmann's Turner Prints), 432-492.
