![[Bath] No. 4. Select Views of Bath, Bristol, Malvern, Cheltenham, and Weymouth.](jpegs/69379.jpg)
[Bath] No. 4. Select Views of Bath, Bristol, Malvern, Cheltenham, and Weymouth.
London: Published by William Miller, Albemarle Street, and William Sheppard, Bristol. Price One Guinea. Printed by W. Bulmer and Co. Cleveland-row, St. James's [n.d., 1805].
One part only, colour of plates very fine. Folio, original blue wrappers with letterpress title label; pp. 25-32, with 4 aquatints with very fine hand colour, each c. 295 x 370mm (11½ x 14½"). Wrapper distressed, contents loose.
A very rare subscriber's issue of part 4 of a publication that would be eventually published as ''Bath, Illustrated by A Series of Views, from the Drawings of John Claude Nattes; with Description to each Plate'. Abbey writes that ''The comparative scarcity of the book would appear to argue for a limited circulation''; he does not mention this earlier title or list any publication with plates of Bristol, Malvern, Cheltenham or Weymouth by Nattes. The plates (which tally with the order of the book, but one number less due to the inclusion of the vignette on the title page) are: 'Sidney Hotel &c', aquatinted by John Hill; 'The Bridges over the Canal in Sidney Gardens' by F.C. Lewis; 'Old Bridge' by Hill; & 'Pump-Room' by Hill.
See Abbey Scenery 41 for the completed book.

The Back of George Hibberts Esqr House at Putney Sepr 12th 1812.
[Drawing by John Claude Nattes.]
[n.d., c.1812.]
Fine ink and graphite sketch. Sheet 235 x 330mm (9¼ x 13"). Laid on card at sides.
The back of a large house, seen through massive double gates, to a yard with several water barrels. John Claude Nattes (c.1765–1839) was a watercolourist and topographical draughtsman of either French or English origin. In 1789, Joseph Banks commissioned Nattes to record the architecture of Lincolnshire, resulting in more than 700 drawings and watercolours produced between 1789 and 1797. This remarkable body of work remains an important record of pre-Victorian topography. He later accompanied John Stoddart on tours of Scotland, providing illustrations for Remarks on Local Scenery and Manners in Scotland (1801). Nattes was among the earliest practitioners of watercolour painting in Britain and was associated with the founding of the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1804. Although expelled two years later, for exhibiting other people's work as his own, he continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1814.
