Topographical Sketches of Brighthelmston and its Neighbourhood- Illustrated with Twelve Engravings by R. Havell Junr. London: T. Flook, [1825]. This copy specially bound and with the plates hand-colored, possibly at a later time, window-mounted and without the engraved title and text. First edition. Large quarto (12 x 8 1/2 inches; 305 x 216 mm.). Hand colored engraved vignette title and 12 hand colored plates by R. Havell, all marked 'proof' and window-mounted in stiff card (actual image size 5 3/4 x 3 3/8 inches; 146 x 86 mm.). Plate No. 1 has a tiny piece (1/4 x 1/4 inch) missing from lower left-hand blank corner (not affecting image); plate 8 has a small repaired 1 1/2 inch closed-tear on the left hand margin but not actually touching image. Some light foxing to blank margins. Contemporary Spanish red roan, covers decoratively bordered in gilt, surrounding an unidentified Spanish coat-of-arms stamped in gilt.

The superb plates are a wonderful depiction of Brighton and its neighborhood. Robert Havell, Jr. (1793-1878), was an American landscape painter and printmaker renowned for his work on John James Audubon’s four-volume The Birds of America (1827–1838), which includes 435 hand-colored plates. He grew up in Great Britain and honed his skills as an aquatint artist under the guidance of his father, an engraver. Despite his father's wishes for him to pursue a more academic career, Havell left home in 1825 and began working for a publishing firm. In 1827, Havell's father accepted the job of printing The Birds of America and enlisted his son to create the plates and handle much of the watercoloring. Havell’s meticulous work preserved both the scientific and artistic details of Audubon's original drawings, earning high praise from contemporaries. Edward Wedlake Brayley FSA (1773 -1854) was an English historian and topographer. Brayley collaborated with his life-long friend, John Britton, on the first 6 volumes of The Beauties of England and Wales. In 1838 he published Illustrations of Her Majesty's Palace at Brighton, formerly the Pavillion, executed by the command of George IV. The Plates: Vignette title 1.
