Book Description

Barcelona: Imprenta de Jose Torner. 1825. First. First Spanish edition. Translated into French from the 1821 London first edition, and then into Spanish by Don Austin de Gimbernat. Octavo. 106pp. Bound in early calf boards, newer marbled endpapers, red morocco spine label, title and spine decorations in gilt. Some repair to the spine ends, a nice, near fine copy. Includes the famous Matthew Carey folding plate, usually known as "Description of a Slave Ship," of slaves packed into the hold of a slave ship. Neat and professional repairs at the folds on the verso. The plate was originally published as a print in 1789 in Plymouth, England, and rapidly thereafter appeared in versions published in Philadelphia, then London. This is the larger version of the plate, showing both cross sections and elevations of the ship. Very scarce: Neither OCLC or COPAC locate a copy, KVK locates two copies in Spain. .
