BOWYER, ROBERT] An Illustrated Record of Important Events in the Annals of Europe during the years 1812, 1813, 1814, & 1815... London: T. Bensley for R. Bowyer, 1815. Modern three-quarters calf, marbled sides. 17 3/4 x 12 5/8 inches (42 x 32 cm); 76 pp., with Abbey's second title, with eighteen very fine color aquatint plates, four folding (the collation of this work is variable, and this is the norm), the folding plates with Whatman 1814 watermarks, and with a map, plate of signature facsimiles, and plate of portraits (and two plates of the French and English royal families, apparently from another copy, bound at the front). Some finger-soiling, creasing to outer edge of the plate of Moscow. A rather rare work, which, according to Abbey, can bear two different titles, and generally has a variable plate count up to nineteen; this copy does not have the plate of Porto Ferrajo, nor the very rare third part with additional views of the locale, but can reasonably be accounted complete by Abbey's calculus. Abbey Life 352. C
