Birch, Thomas.
The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain on One Hundred and Eight Copper-Plates.
London:
John Knapton,
1756.
Folio (52 x 35 cm), [4], 216 pp. Period calf with the gilt seal of Sir Charles Bayot at the center of each cover, rebacked with later calf, raised bands with gilt ruling, morocco lettering pieces, marbled endpapers dating from the rebacking; with 108 copper-engraved plates by Jacobus Houbraken and George Vertue. Rare large paper issue, with finely engraved portraits of British luminaries from the 14th to 18th centuries. Included are literary icons such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton, William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, John Dryden and Alexander Pope; royal personages including Henry VIII and various of his queens (but oddly not his daughter, Queen Elizabeth); men of science and philosophy, among them Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, William Harvey and Robert Boyle; adventurers Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh; and politicians and nobility too numerous to count. Each portrait is accompanied by a biographical sketch of about 11⁄2 pages on following leaf. Covers with varnish over the leather somewhat crackled, rubbing to joints and extremities, corners chipped and showing; marginal dampstaining to last several plates; still very good or better.
