Description of Shapero Rare Books, London: Of the copies that have come to auction since 1975 only one has been a large-paper copy in original boards. "The pictures are extremely spirited and true and are all the more wonderful in view of the fact that the artist’s continental experiences were limited to one day spent in Boulogne." (Hardie). In 1821, the journalist Pierce Egan published Life in London, an immediate success illustrated by the Cruikshank brothers, George and Robert. In order to capitalise on this success, another journalist, David Carey, decided to publish his own Life in Paris in monthly instalments (just like Life in London) and with a very similar frontispiece to the one that appears in Egan’s work; Life in Paris, however, was illustrated only by George Cruikshank. One of the earliest and most notable examples of the work of George Cruikshank, with fine, clean plates. -

The sculptural and quasi-royal representation of Robinson is flanked by his faithful dog and parrot. The hero’s tools (the gun and the axe) are prominently displayed. He looks to the horizon away to the left, rather than to the tiny ship that can be seen on the horizon. His overcoming of life’s difficult events is at the core of the representation. The massive plinth reinforces the aura of the hero, as do the tiny people admiring the sculpture and learning about the heroic figure. Friday is discreetly represented in a medallion on the plinth along with other decorations including goats and a «savage»". [Sitzia, E. (2020). Lost in Intersemiotic Translation? J.J.

Edition 1st edition, 2nd printing, edition of 1699 considered by most a re-issue of the 1697 edition. Description in Auction Sale Van Gendt, 1977, no. 1108: "The first, which has exactly the same collation was published by Gallet in 1697. It seems possible that the 1699 edition is, in fact, of the same issue, and that only the first quires of both volumes, which include the title pages were replaced by new ones with the new date, to make the book look more up to date. - The edition of 1702, also published by Gallet has "seconde édition", which, we think, sustains our theory." Binding: Two volumes uniformly bound by Chambolle-Duru in red crushed morocco, ruled gilt with triple-fillet, gilt dentelle inside, raised bands, gilt in compartments, AEG, marbled endpapers; to FEP verso in vol. 1 pasted a clipping, and in both volumes – bookplate “EX LIBRIS HELGE LOEWENBERG DOMP”.
