The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle

List of Illustrations

illustrations The title pages to volumes 1 through 4 of the first edition (London, 1751) are reproduced from a copy owned by O M Brack, Jr. Frontispieces from the fourth edition (London, 1769), designed by Henry Fuseli (1745–1825) and engraved by an anonymous engraver, are reproduced from a copy held by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University. The descriptive titles to these illustrations are taken from D. H. Weinglass, Prints and Engraved Illustrations by and after Henry Fuseli: A Catalogue Raisonné (Aldershot, UK: Scolar Press, 1994). (Weinglass [14–21] records another state of the fourth edition, with engravings of Fuseli’s designs by Charles Grignion [1721–1810].) The illustrations by Thomas Rowlandson (1757– 1827) are from an undated and privately bound volume entitled Rowland’s [sic] Illustrations to Smollett, held by the College of William and Mary and comprising, among other entries, select illustrations attributed to an edition of Peregrine Pickle said to have been published in 1796 by J. Sibbald (London). We have been unable to locate an eighteenth-century edition of Peregrine Pickle with illustrations by Rowlandson published by Sibbald. The illustrations by Richard Corbould (1757–1831) are from prints held by the British Museum. Several appeared in an edition of the novel printed for C. Cooke (1799?). The nineteenth-century illustrations by George Cruikshank are reproduced from Illustrations of Smollett, Fielding, and Goldsmith, in a Series of Forty-one Plates (London, 1832), held by the Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
