REPTON, Humphry; John ADEY & George STANLEY (d.1858). Designs for the Pavillon at Brighton . London: T. Bensley for J.C. Stadler, to be sold by Boydell and Co. and others, 1808 [plates watermarked 1825]. 2 o (529 x 366 mm). 20 plates and illustrations, including an engraved hand-colored plan; 19 aquatints, 9 hand-colored (6 of these with overslips, one with overpage, one double-page, one folding), 2 with sepia wash, all by Stadler after Repton (overpage with break along upper platemark reinforced on verso, last plate backed with paper, some occasional soft creasing to overslips). Later quarter morocco preserving original boards and printed label on cover (boards rubbed). Provenance : Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-1884), youngest son of Queen Victoria (bookplate); Salmagundi Club (gift inscription from J. Sanford Saltus, dated 1915, on front free endpaper). FIRST EDITION, later issue. The first edition was published in 1808; for the present issue the text is reset, the plates remain the same except that the frontispiece is here hand-colored, and the order of two of the plates is reversed. The Royal Pavilion, designed by John Nash in 1815, is in the style of the Moghul palaces of India. The idea for using this style came from Humphry Repton's Designs for the Pavilion at Brighton . It was a style which he also recommended at Sezincote. Abbey Scenery 57; cf. Tooley 396 (variant title).
