Bulwer (James). Views in the Madeiras executed on Stone by Messrs. Westall, Nicholson, Harding, Nash, Villeneuve, Gauci, &c. &c. after Drawings made from Nature, London, Dublin, Paris & Mulhausen: C. & J. Rivington [and others], 1827, lithograph title with vignette view (toned and with hole not affecting text), 1 plate of outlines of the islands, 26 lithograph plates on India paper (measuring approx. 34 x 28cm), scattered spotting, some dampstaining mostly to margins, original marbled limp boards, later cloth spine, folio (46.5 x 32.5cm) The Rev. James Bulwer (1794-1879), 'an amateur landscape painter of high quality', was a pupil and friend of John Sell Cotman. Bulwer addresses a foreword to George Stoddart Esq. of Madeira (in French): 'I send you a series of drawings intended to represent some of the more remarkable spots in your beautiful island ... For the drawings themselves, the only merit I can claim is that of faithful representation. In the selection of some of the subjects, I have been guided by the comparative celebrity of the place, rather than by a consideration of its purely picturesque attraction. But the collection will, I hope, be found to include all the scenes most interesting under either point of view'. This work was issued in two forms: 'on India Paper' at 4 guineas, or 'on Plain or Tinted Paper' at 3 guineas. (1)
