DESCRIPTION: A BEAUTIFUL COSWAY BINDING. 1 vol., small folio, 12-5/8" x 9-9/16", title-page printed in red and black, limited to 365 numbered copies this being copy #128, illustrated with numerous half-tone illustrations of portrait miniatures, captioned tissue guards, bound in full dark green crushed levant morocco, the covers with elaborate gilt-stamping of flowering vines amidst a double-rule arabesque gilt frame for the five portrait miniatures on each cover, miniatures on ivory under glass, spine richly gilt in six compartments with raised bands, board edges gilt-ruled, turn-ins with triple gilt-rules and outer corner pieces, burgundy coated pastedowns and endpapers, top edge gilt, others uncut as issued, by Riviere & Son.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The 10 portrait miniatures of young ladies are after the work of Andrew or Nathaniel Plimer, in Georgian dresses with some bonnets and ribbons and beads, often on blue backgrounds. The Plimer brothers came from a clock-making family, but the elder one, Andrew, soon discovered his vocation as an artist after he was employed as a servant in the home of Richard Cosway, already high in his profession as a miniaturist. Although the miniatures are unsigned their high quality is a sure indication that they are the work of C.B. Currie. The ten women are: (Front cover) UPPER LEFT: Fay Templeton UPPER RIGHT: Miss. E.
