Gilpin (William). Observations on the River Wye, and several parts of South Wales, &c. Relative Chiefly to Picturesque Beauty; Made in the Summer of the Year 1770, 1st ed., London, Printed for R. Blamire, 1782, the half-title present, fifteen oval tinted aquatint plates by William Sawrey Gilpin, offset onto facing text, contemp. calf, spine gilt, rubbed, joints cracked, 8vo. William Gilpin (1724-1804) was a pioneer in the appreciation of the British landscape. His celebrated published series of Tours through various regions, of which the "Observations on the River Wye" was the first, became the main source of inspiration for a generation of travellers in search of the "picturesque". Whilst his opinionated ideas and "picturesque rules" on what to look for and what to avoid soon attracted ridicule (he was satirized as the bumbling fool Dr. Syntax in William Combe's poems, and brilliantly represented in Rowlandson's accompanying caricatures), his writings had a lasting impact on the way we view the landscape, and in the establishment of a new movement of middle class tourists in a rapidly-changing Britain. Gilpin made his journey down the Wye, from Ross to Chepstow, in June 1770. He had circulated accounts of a number of his tours in manuscript, and their popularity led to a decision to publish. The Wye Tour was chosen ahead of The Lakes as it was a shorter work, which might more effectively test public reaction. "Observations on the River Wye and Several Parts of South Wales" was published in an edition of 700 copies, dated 1782, although not actually appearing until the summer of 1783 due to delays in the production of the aquatint illustrations. It was immediately successful, and a fifth edition was published in 1800, with a new series of plates. In spite of its pomposity (vide the infamous passage recommending the judicious use of a mallet) Gilpin's book remains a cornerstone of River Wye, and British topopgraphical, literature. The first edition not in Abbey, Scenery. (1)
