GIMÉNEZ (fl. 1850-1860), artist
Album de la cavalerie de l’armée espagnole [thus titled on cover]. Madrid: J. Donon, [c. 1850].
A very rare set of these fine military costume plates illustrating the Spanish army’s cavalry regiments in the first half of the 19th century. No copies are recorded in auction records (RBH). The artist Giménez produced other illustrations of military and naval costume plates for the publisher Donon, including Uniformes del Cuerpo General de la Armada (c. 1862). Bobins IV, 1279; Colas 57.

Large oblong folio (535 x 685mm). 12 contemporary hand-coloured lithographic plates heightened with gum arabic (lacking title called for by Colas). Contemporary diced calf, upper cover lettered in gilt (neatly rebacked, corners restored, edges rubbed). Provenance: A. Balsan (bookplate).
