FORE-EDGE PAINTING; The "DOVER PAINTER", artist; PALEY, William - Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy, the

Edinburgh: Printed for Adam Black, 1814. With Two Superb Fore-Edge Paintings by the "Dover Painter" FORE-EDGE PAINTING. [The "DOVER PAINTER"], artist. PALEY, William. The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy. The Twenty-First Edition. Edinburgh: Printed for Adam Black, 1814. With two superb fore-edge paintings executed ca. 1930 by the "Dover Painter" depicting views of "Edinburgh Castle from Grass Market" and "St. Giles Cripplegate, Fore St." The distinctive treatment of the clouds and pointillistic brush strokes for detail are hallmarks of the style of the extremely skillful artist known as the "Dover Painter," the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore-edges in the 1920s and 1930s. Two octavo volumes (8 3/8 x 5 1/4 inches; 213 x 133 mm.). [i-v], vi-xxviii, [1]-374; [viii], [1]-452 pp. Bound ca. 1814 in full dark blue straight-grain morocco, covers decoratively paneled in gilt and blind, spines with four 'double' raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt board edges and turn-ins, light brown end-papers, all edges gilt. Near fine. With the circular blind-stamp of "The Library of Saint Mary-Of-The-Woods College" [Indiana] on the title-page of volume one. Two early family ink inscriptions on front blank dated January 6th, 1844 and November 3rd, 1882. Old booksellers description affixed to front blank. The "Dover Painter" an unknown English artist - probably worked on commission exclusively ca. 1920-1930 for Marks & Co, the London booksellers. By 1928 Dawson's Book Shop in Los Angeles, headed by Ernest Dawson, began a relationship with Marks & Co. ["a reciprocal agency agreement"] that included sending crates of books to America via the Panama Canal. Several hundred fore-edges came to Dawson's. Sesslers' in Philadelphia bought and sold examples of the "Dover" painter's work, as fore-edges by this and other artists turned up in the B. George Ulizio collection at Kent State University. Other fore-edge paintings were imported via J.W. Robinson Company [department stores], Los Angeles. The Robinson Co. books came with added new Sangorski & Sutcliffe slipcases made especially for them and sometimes included a typed identifying slip mounted on the end-leaves-more fore-edges by the "Dover Painter" can be seen at the Huntington Library- and Stanford University." A similar example is cited by Jeff Weber in his Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Painting- "Paley, William. The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy. London: Printed for J. Faulder, 1810, two volumes, 8vo, full contemporary red straight-grain morocco, with an ornamental gilt border on sides, richly gilt backs, gilt edges. In a cloth slip case. Fore-edges: [1] view of New York in 1753; [2] Philadelphia in 1753. Boston Public Library [LF109.D9 1814x]". (Weber. pp. 98-102). William Paley (1743-1805) was an English clergyman, Christian apologist, philosopher, and utilitarian. He is best known for his natural theology exposition of the teleological argument for the existence of God in his work Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, which made use of the watchmaker analogy. "In 1782, Edmund Law - the Bishop of Carlisle, otherwise the mildest of men, was most particular that Paley should add a book on political philosophy to the moral philosophy, which Paley was reluctant to write. The book was published in 1785 under the title of The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy, and was made a part of the examinations at the University of Cambridge the next year. It passed through fifteen editions in the author's lifetime. Paley strenuously supported the abolition of the slave trade, and his attack on slavery in the book was instrumental in drawing greater public attention to the practice. In 1789, a speech he gave on the subject in Carlisle was published. .

They issued, among other works, Pope's translation of the Iliad and Thomson's Seasons; but they also put fine bindings upon books by Milton, Crabbe, Cowper, Scott, and others, published by Johnson, or by Sharpe, or by Hatchard, or by Reeves, or by Longman- Taylor & Hessey usually bound their fine books in morocco—red, blue, brown, crimson, green—and "signed" their bindings by stamping their name in gilt in the fore-edge of the binding (not the leaves, note), whenever the boards inside the leather were thick enough to carry the name of the firm- (C.J.

Haywood Depicting the Homes of Abraham Cowley and Alexander Pope - Both with a Fine Portrait FORE-EDGE PAINTING. HAYWOOD, Helen R. artist. JOHNSON, Samuel. The Lives of the most eminent English Poets: with Critical Observations on their Works- A New Edition, Corrected. In two volumes. London: Printed for F.C. and J. Rivington; W. Nicol and Son-, 1821. With two very fine early twentieth century fore-edge paintings by Helen R. Haywood. The first volume with a fine view of Chertsey Bridge and with a portrait of Abraham Cowley on the left side; The second volume with a fine view of Alexander Pope's Villa, Twickenham and with a portrait of Pope on the left-side. Two octavo volumes (8 3/8 x 5 1/8 inches; 212 x 130 mm.). [viii], [1]-446; [iv], [1]-454 pp. Full contemporary dark blue calf, covers elaborately decorated in gilt and blind, spines with four shallow raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, decorative gilt board-edges and turn-ins, red and blue marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Housed in an early blue cloth slipcase. Gilt on spines very slightly dulled, otherwise near fine. These fore-edge paintings were done by Helen Haywood sometime between 1927 and 1940. Front flyleaf of volume one with "Cowley" [and] "Chertsey Bridge"; volume two with "Pope" [and] "Pope's Villa, Twickenham" both in the hand of Helen Haywood. Helen R. Haywood (1908-1995) was an English writer and illustrator of children's books. She was born in England in 1908 but was taken as a child to Chile, where her father, an engineer, worked on the trans-Andean railway. She remained in Chile until she was approximately 15 years old. Her experiences were recounted in an unpublished novel,"Childhood in Chile." Miss Haywood was a keen student of science and an amateur naturalist and anthropologist. Many of the books she illustrated for the publisher Hutchinson & Co. London, were keenly observed and scrupulously accurate depictions of plants, birds and animals. When commissioned to do illustrations for a children's book on dinosaurs, her research into the skin colors she subsequently chose for her dinosaur illustrations was cited by the Royal Academy of Sciences. Haywood was also a practitioner of the art of fore-edge painting. She became acquainted with the art form through an uncle who was associated with the Bayntun-Riviere Bindery of Bath. She did several fore-edge and double fore-edge paintings on commission every year from the 1930s to the 1970s for Inman's Books, an antiquarian book dealer in New York City. She died in Bournemouth, England in 1995. Abraham Cowley (1618-1667) was an English poet born in the City of London late in 1618. He was one of the leading English poets of the 17th century, with 14 printings of his Works published between 1668 and 1721. Around 1663 Cowley obtained permission to retire into the country; and through his friend, Lord St Albans, he obtained a property near Chertsey, where, devoting himself to botany and books, he lived in comparative solitude until his death. Alexander Pope (1688-1744) was a poet and satirist of the Augustan period and one of its greatest artistic exponents. Considered the foremost English poet of the early 18th century and a master of the heroic couplet, he is best known for satirical and discursive poetry, including The Rape of the Lock, The Dunciad, and An Essay on Criticism, and for his translation of Homer. In 1719 he moved to Pope's Villa in Twickenham, then a village west of London in Middlesex where he created gardens and an underground grotto. The house and grotto were topics of 18th- and 19th-century poetry and art. .

Haywood was also a practitioner of the art of fore-edge painting. She became acquainted with the art form through an uncle who was associated with the Bayntun-Riviere Bindery of Bath. She did several fore-edge and double fore-edge paintings on commission every year from the 1930s to the 1970s for Inman's Books, an antiquarian book dealer in New York City. She died in Bournemouth, England in 1995. Provenance: Christie's New York, December 8th, 1989, lot 202 to Randal Moscovitz). .

Each volume contains a fine frontispiece in sepia photogravure depcting a 'real-life' scene from the text (here they are 'The English Channel from Ridgeway Hill' and 'Wynyard's Gap in A Trampwoman's Tragedy) and a double-page 'Map of the Wessex of the Novels and Poems' made from Hardy's own drawing (now in the Dorset County Museum). 'The Wessex Edition is in every sense the definitive edition of Hardy's work and the last authority in questions of text' (Purdy). Individual volumes are now increasingly hard to find.

BANNERMAN Helen - The Story of Little Black Mingo. THE AUTHOR'S SECOND BOOK

Nisbet,, n.d. [c.1930]. 16mo., with coloured frontispiece and 34 full-page coloured illustrations in the text, some very light and occasional age-soiling to text (rather heavier on white margins of one or two plates); original pink cloth, upper board and backstrip lettered in black, red endpapers, boards lightly faded at upper edges else a very good, firm copy. The author's second book, first published in 1901. Born in Edinburgh, Helen Bannerman (1862-1946) was a gifted children's illustrator who married a doctor in the Indian Medical Service and lived near Madras. Written for her daughters, her first three books, 'Little Black Sambo' (1899), 'Little Black Mingo' (1901) and 'Little Black Quibba' (1902) were set in an imaginary jungle world based on their real-life surroundings. All three titles (especially the first) were unusually successful and her second publisher, Nisbet, urged her to continue. Bannerman determined to create a series of cautionary tales emphasising the acumen of children (in this case of a young, girl who outwits a large crocodile). The stark nature of the tale is complemented by the curiously naive but graphic illustrations that derive extra impact from their simplicity. Disturbing by today's standards, the quasi-African setting and cold rationalism of the piece are entirely typical of the story's Edwardian context. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. See Horne, p.89.
