LAVATER, Johann Caspar. Essays on Physiognomy, designed to promote the knowledge and the love of mankind. Translated from the French by Henry Hunter. Three volumes in five. [26], 178, *175-*178, 179-281, [1]; xii, 238; [6], 239-444; xii, 252; [6], 253-437, [12] pp. With 173 full-page engraved plates and 364 vignettes and engravings illustrating the text, mostly by Thomas Holloway and William Blake after Henry Fuseli. Large 4to., 335 x 273 mm, bound in later three-quarter morocco, marbled edges. London: John Stockdale, 1810.

Lavater's Physiognomische Fragmente in a sumptuous English edition, one of the finest and most curious illustrated books published in England. This classic pseudo-scientific analysis of the human face, and all the feelings it is capable of expressing, was partially written by Goethe, a leading expert in craniology. To defend the science of physiognomy, Lavater drew largely upon the work of such authorities as Haller, Herber, Leibnitz and Sulzer. Although this work remains controversial, it is today highly valued for its superb engraved illustrations by Henry Fuseli, Chodowiecki, Thomas Holloway, Bartolozzi, and William Blake. "Fuseli's drawings are rendered with unusual distinction in the engravings of T. Holloway" (Gordon N. Ray). First published 1789-1798, the sheets of the work were reissued by Stockdale with the plate numbering effaced (as here).

This English edition contains 537 very fine engravings, of which 173 are full-page plates. There are numerous portraits of famous writers, artists, musicians, scientists, and famous contemporary personages, including Goethe, Samuel Johnson, Locke, George Washington, Voltaire, Heidegger, Wren, Diderot, Isaac Newton, Rousseau, Winckelmann, and Johann Sebastian Bach. The five volumes are filled with hundreds of curiously delightful vignettes; three of these are signed "Blake S" and "Blake Sc" (volume I, pages 127, 206 and 225). Additionally there is a full-page portrait of Democritus engraved by Blake after Rubens (volume I, opposite page 159). The 537 copper-plates were sold at auction on 29 January 1818. Some very minor wear to binding extremities, some foxing or spotting; overall a very fine copy. Our copy collates exactly with the list of plates at end of volume V, which states that plate 29 "was passed over in the numbering of the plates" and therefore should not be counted.
