Folio, lithographed title and 25 hand-coloured lithographed plates, mounted on card, loose as issued, in a 1/4 red morocco, red cloth portfolio, with matching title label to upper cover. Uncommon coloured issue. This series of drawings was Wilkie's second and was published posthumously after Wilkie died at sea in June 1841. Many of the sketches are studies for oil paintings that Wilkie intended to work upon his return. Aided by sensitive lithography and colouring, they possess a vigour that might have been in a more finished production.
