Fullerton (James Alexander). Views in the Himalaya and Neilgherry Hills, from Drawings taken during the Years 1845-46-47, [London: Dickinson & Co., 1848], [28] pp., 24 tinted lithographic plates, folding lithographic map, toning, short closed tear to lower margin of preface leaf, marginal browning along edges of plates not affecting images, small marginal damp-stain to plate 1, very small chip to foot of description leaf for plate 10, plate 24 and list of subscribers spotted, map with two partial splits to folds and small closed handling tear to inner extremity of central fold, traces of bookplate to front pastedown, original red cloth lettered and decorated in gilt, a little fraying and wear to spine and extremities, covers slightly soiled but gilt bright, oblong 4to (Qty: 1) Abbey Travel 499. Rare. Abbey's copy had a printed overslip with the imprint of Dickinson & Co. to the title-page, on which grounds it is speculated that 'Dickinson's originally undertook to produce the book privately for Colonel Fullerton ... and that they then decided to publish it commercially. The presence of the list of subscribers does not necessarily destroy this theory, since Fullerton may have invited subscribers himself. The list contains 106 names'.
