8 volumes. Smart tight contemporary binding in gilt-banded half red morocco, with fairly rubbed marbled boards. All edges gilt. Very small monogram stamped on f.e.p. in each volume. Missing volume 2 of the biography, though perhaps this was never published (see 'Notice' in volume 1 of the biography). Every volume copiously illustrated with steel engravings. A version of Sarah Siddons in Reynolds's painting of her as the Tragic Muse adorns the title page of the Tragedies volume. Perhaps other contemporary personalities are represented elsewhere but I don't recognise them, alas. Smart spines; the fore-edge corner leather has a few losses here and there.

[c. 1840] 8 vols, all fully vellum-bound with leather title labels on the gilt-stamped spine. All edges gilt. The vellum has darkened on the spines and there is general light scratching and marking on the covers. Tragedies II has a large stain - looks like a wine stain on the rear cover which affects the spine edge for about 2 inches. Overall it is a handsome, imposing set; each volume is illustrated with numerous steel engravings, a pleasing mixture of real, topographical or art-historical images with the fantastical and the imagined.
