Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Michele Marieschi, Marco Ricci and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. A boy of Irish Jacobite descent is raised in the Stuart court in exile and sent back into a Europe where his name is worth either a fortune or a rope. Lever knew the exile families and their claims and treats them without sentiment. This edition binds 59 plates of painting with the text, among them Panini, Hubert Robert and Rodde, and restores and colours its single in-text illustration.
