Description
You are bidding on the: For your consideration is a Lovely, Vintage- THE WORKS OF PETER PINDAR, ESQ by WOLCOT, John , 1794[-1796]. Four octavo volumes set. 1794. [WOLCOT, John]. THE WORKS OF PETER PINDAR, ESQ. London: Printed for John Walker, 1794[-1796]. Four octavo volumes, of an eventual five published. Vol. 1 has an engraved portrait of Wolcot, identified only by his pseudonym Peter Pindar, and each volume has an engraved title-page. Peter Pindar was the pen-name of John Wolcot (1738-1819) a doctor from Truro who achieved some fame in the 1780s through his gift for comic verse, in particular, verse that poked fun at the foibles of the court and royal family. Wolcot's lasting legacy is his observation that George III said 'what what' a lot. John Wolcot (1738-1819) was a popular English poet and satirist of contemporary artists and writers, and of royalty in particular. (He is reported to have said that the king had been a good subject to him, and he a bad one to the king.) At the time of publication, this set marked the most complete collection of the poet's work. In 1793 Wolcot sold the copyright of his existing works to John Walker, the publisher, for an annuity; at that same time, it was stipulated that Walker should have the right of refusal for all of Wolcot's future work. The expanding nature of the edition is evident on the title pages of the volumes; Vols. 1-3 say "in three volumes," and Vol. 4 says "in four volumes." The fifth, and final, volume was eventually published by Walker in 1801. Size: 8.5' x 5.5' each book- 444+, 495+, 431+, 500+ Pages. Condition: Good with some vintage wear and staining on pages. Cosmetic condition is as clearly and accurately shown in the high-definition pictures provided. Please inspect all of them carefully. Overall, a rarity and very uncommon. A really great Vintage Book Set to add to any good collection.
