Plate 12. Double Elephant Folio.
This copy was acquired from minniesland.com. Of it the owner Leslie Kostrich writes in part: “This edition was published in 87 numbers of five plates each from 1827 to 1838. Each number included a large image (one that took up most of the sheet of paper), a medium-sized image (with moderate margins beyond the plate mark (as is the case here), and three small images (with very large margins). This plate was first issued to subscribers in 1827 as the second plate of the third number. The plates of this edition have the number on the left and the unique plate number on the right. Subsequent printings of this plate during the publication period involved minor changes, including the use of Roman rather than Arabic numerals for the plate number [as here]. [This copy] is a trimmed sheet measuring around 22-1/2 inches high by 24-3/4 inches wide and is countermarked J WHATMAN TURKEY MILL 1836.”
