William Henry.Pyne The
Costume of Great Britain. London.
William Miller. 1804 & 1808 Folio
[11.5 x 15.5 ins mounted and matted
price includes delivery etc]. from
a set of 60 ORIGINAL HAND COLOURED
ENGRAVED PLATES, (AQUATINT),. The first
edition was published in 1804 with
uncoloured back ground.The second
edition 1808 had a partial coloured
background and the third edition was in
full colour . . being old fashioned I
prefer the simple and muted to the
technicolour but that is personal taste
. Pyne's plates portray a diversity
of trades, occupations and services.
All classes are represented from the
most elevated ranks to the lowest
labourer. Considerable attention is
paid to each trade, giving a valuable
record of British society on the eve of
the Industrial revolution. William
Henry Pyne is generally known as an
etcher, landscape painter and author of
literature. Pyne combines all three of
his talents to produce a charming
account which invites the reader to
experience the many aspects of early
nineteenth century Britain. Pyne
exhibits costumes ranging from clergy
and military dress to those of milk
maids and coal shovellers. Pictured
against the beautifully drawn and
colored backgrounds, the figures come
to life in their contemporary settings.
Contemporary of such great character
artists as Thomas Rowlandson and George
Cruikshank, W.H. Pyne, in the wardrobes
and dress represented here, allows us
to see the manners, habits and
lifestyle during the early 1800's.
