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. .

VENETIAN BINDING; BOOK OF HOURS - Officium Beatae Mariae Virginis S. Pii V. Pontificis Maximi

Venice: Ex Typographia Balleoniana, 1754. A Fine Eighteenth Century Italian Book of Hours in its Original Red Morocco Binding With Hand-Painted Gauffered Edges [VENETIAN BINDING]. [BOOK OF HOURS]. Officium Beatae Mariae Virginis S. Pii V. Pontificis Maximi. Venetiis [Venice]: Ex Typographia Balleoniana, 1754. Octavo (7 3/4 x 4 5/8 inches; 197 x 117 mm.). [i]-xxxxiv, [1]-453, [3, indices] pp. Vignette engraved title-page and seven full page copperplate engravings in the text. Full contemporary red morocco, covers elaborately decorated in gilt, spine with five raised bands decoratively gilt in compartments, decorative gilt board edges, marbled liners. The edges are gilt and exquisitely gauffered with small diamond shaped lozenges hand-painted in red. An exquisite example in exceptionally fine and untouched condition with just the smallest amount of light scuffing to the extremities. A remarkable survival from nearly two hundred and seventy years ago- Books of Hours were bestsellers. They were the first text read across Europe by people at every level of literacy. These devotional books, containing a daily routine of prayers for the reader to follow, reached a huge audience, more than any previously written text. Children were taught to read with Books of Hours. Repeated daily, the passages found in these books, usually in Latin, were committed to heart. Prayers on death, plague, warfare, travel, and bad weather were all found in Books of Hours. The plates: 1. Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary (p. xxiv) 2. Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary (p. 80) 3. Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary (p. 150) 4. Office of the dead (p. 226) 5. Seven penitential psalms (p. 294) 6. Office of the holy cross (p. 334) 7. Office of the holy spirit (p. 342). .

Philadelphia: Manufactured by Altemus & Co. ca. 1864. Small square quarto (5 3/4 x 5 inches; 146 x 127 mm.). Calligraphic title-page printed in gold and purple, Index to portraits, and twenty five thick card, double sided window frame leaves bordered in gold. The first eighteen with a single nineteenth century family photograph. We have been unable to identify the family name. Publisher's full brown embossed morocco over boards. Covers and spine elaborately decorated in blind, both covers with four circular ivory stones set in gilt. Spine embossed and decoratively lettered in gilt "Album" "Patd. July 21st. 1863". Two brass clasps, decorated in relief and fitted with two circular ivory stones with gilt centers, gilt board edges and turn-ins, all edges gilt. A fine example of an early Altemus album. Altemus and Company first published photographic albums in 1862. During the next thirty years it published numerous elegant albums in many different styles. Although many albums from this time period can be easily identified as Altemus productions since they have the Altemus and Company imprint, a number of albums had no imprint. Some of the pre-1863 albums had a very similar look as the "post 1863 new patent hinged back design". All the albums post-1863 did note the patent somewhere in or on the album. In 1863 Henry and Samuel Altemus became the assignees of a patent of John Mets. This patent gave Altemus the right to use the special hinged back design for their photographic albums. The albums using this special design have the Altemus & Company imprint on the title page along with a line that says patented July 21, 1863. By 1864 Altemus was touting its special photographic album design. "It having the advantage of laying open perfectly flat.." Altemus had the patent for the "hinged back" design. As described by Altemus-- "each leaf is attached to a small rod covered with morocco forming a separate hinge of its own, admitting the book to be opened to its full extent without danger of the slightest injury.

FORE-EDGE PAINTING; TAYLOR & HESSEY, binders; COWPER, William - Poems by William Cowper

London: Printed for J. Johnson and Co. 1811. Bound by Taylor and Hessey With an Early Twentieth Century Fore-Edge Painting [FORE-EDGE PAINTING]. TAYLOR & HESSEY, binder. COWPER, William. Poems by William Cowper, of the Inner Temple, Esq. In two volumes. A New Edition. London: Printed for J. Johnson and Co. 1811. With an early twentieth century fore-edge painting by an unidentified artist, showing a man and two ladies seated by a fireplace. The man is reading his newspaper and a dog is seated at his feet. Two octavo volumes bound in one (8 5/16 x 5 1/4 inches; 211 x 133 mm.). [i]-xvi, [1]-438; [i]-vi, [2], [1]-427, [1, blank] pp. Bound ca. 1811 by Taylor and Hessey, Booksellers, London. Stamp-signed in gilt on the fore-edges of the boards "Bound and Sold by" [&] "Taylor and Hessey". Full dark red straight-grain morocco, covers elaborately paneled in gilt, spine with three 'double' raised bands, elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments, decorative gilt board-edges and turn-ins, later pink endpapers, all edges gilt. Soundly but rather crudely rebacked with the original spine laid down. “Taylor & Hessey were busy throughout these fifteen years [1808-1823], not only in publishing and in binding, but also in re-binding books published by others. 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.

Editio Stereotypa Herhan. Paris: E Prelis Fratrum Mame, 1808. With a fine early twentieth century fore-edge painting by the "Double-Line Painter" showing a colorful view of Verona, Italy.

The motto "Virtutis Laus Actio" means "The Praise of Virtue is Action". The "Double-Line Painter" was an English artist, name unknown, possibly active in the 1920s. The most identifiable feature of this artist's work is the label for the painting. The artist labels his own paintings on the the front fly-leaf. If you look carefully you will see a neat light penciled double-line above and below the written title (like an architect would do). The painting title itself is also neatly written in tiny letters. This artist is highly skilled painter with high productivity." (Jeff Weber. Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Painting Artists & Binders, pp. 95-96). Jeff Weber cites eight example of the "Double-Line" artist in his book on pp. 96-97. Provenance: Charles Rumbold (1788-1857). .

DUHAYON, Henri; ROMAINS, Jules; BOFA, Gus [RAYON d'OR/LIBRAIRIE GALLIMARD] - Les Coupains

Paris: Le Rayon d'Or/Librairie Gallimard, 1952. A Spectacular Copy in a Unique Artist's Binding Inscribed by Jules Romains, with Inscriptions by Georges Duhamel and Gus Bofa With an Original Drawing, Autograph Letter, and Provenance Note A Singular, Enriched Association Copy of Les Copains [DUHAYON, Henri, binder]. [BOFA, Gus, illustrator]. ROMAINS, Jules. Les Copains. Avec douze aquarelles par Gus Bofa. N.p. [Paris]: Le Rayon d'Or, (1952). First edition illustrated by Bofa, limited to 3500 numbered copies sur vélin blanc des Papeteries de Lana, this being copy 3152. Octavo (8 1/4 x 6 1/8 in; 208 x 153 mm). 200, [1], [1, blank], [3, table], [1, blank], [1, colophon], [1, blank] pp. Twelve full-page aquarelle illustrations, one of which has been inscribed by the artist to the owner. A striking abstract painted binding by Henri Duhayon of Nice, signed in gilt on the inside front turn-in: "Relié H. Duhayon, Nice." Full crushed cordovan morocco spine lettered in gilt with vividly hand-painted lacquered paper boards in a modernist all-over composition of black, yellow, orange, blue, and red brushstrokes and grid patterns, reflecting the anarchic spirit of the text. Top edge gilt. Custom painted endpapers. A superb and very fine copy in a matching leather-edged slipcase. With the following additions: An original ink and watercolor drawing by Gus Bofa, showing the riotous group of copains with their characteristic red cheeks - annotated and inscribed to the owner at foot: “Mr. Jean Francesche cordialement Gus Bofa.” An autograph letter signed (ALS) by Bofa, dated 24 November 1958, addressed to the owner, Jean Francesche, explaining the curious omission of a head in one of the illustrated characters: “Votre ‘copain sans visage’ n’a pas perdu la tête – il n’en a jamais eu- Jules Romains l’a voulu ainsi.” A tipped-in typed letter signed (TLS) by the owner, Jean Francesche, explaining how he assembled this copy after reading Romains’s Souvenirs et confidences d’un écrivain, tracing the culinary reference to Duhamel, contacting him for clarification, and engaging Bofa in a whimsical debate over the incomplete drawing. Francesche’s commentary includes typed quotes from Souvenirs, and his note concludes: “Je pense que tout cela augmente l’intérêt de ce charmant volume.” Francesche's signed ex-libris is blindstamped to the inside front cover turn-in. A remarkable object of literary friendship, bibliophilic playfulness, and aesthetic invention. First published in 1913, Les Copains is a comic and subversive novel about a group of friends - eccentric, idealistic, and absurd - who form a loosely anarchic brotherhood and perform theatrical stunts and pranks across provincial France. It stands as an early literary expression of unanimism, a theory of collective consciousness developed by Romains in the 1900s. As the New Oxford Companion to French Literature notes: “Before the war in 1914, [Romains] published- two novels, Mort de quelqu’un (1911) and the farcical Les Copains, influenced by Unanimist theories of social groups and collective psychology.” This edition, published nearly 40 years later by Le Rayon d’Or (Gallimard’s deluxe illustrated imprint), pairs Romains’s youthful anti-establishment text with twelve brilliant plates by Gus Bofa, one of France’s most original illustrators and caricaturists. Bofa, celebrated for his sardonic wit and visual improvisation, was a regular contributor to Le Rire and Crapouillot, and illustrated classic texts by Swift, Cervantes, and La Fontaine. Renowned artist Gus Bofa (b. Gustave Blanchot 1883-1968) was an illustrator for Rire and Sourire, a costume and set designer, a celebrated poster artist, and illustrator for the literary journal, Crapouillot. He soon became one of the most in demand illustrators of editions of Swift, La Fontaine, Cervantes, etc. ultimately with one hundred and seventeen volumes to his credit. French novelist, poet, dramatist, and essayist Jules Romains (pseud. of Louis Farigoule 1885-1972) was, "early in his career-associated with a short-lived artistic community, the Groupe de 'Abbaye, which published his poems, La Vie unanime, in 1908. These poems and much of his later verse and prose, were influenced by Unanimist theories of social groups and collective psychology. Before the war in 1914 he published more collections of poetry, a verse play-and two novels, Mort de quelqu'un (1911) and the farcial Les Copains [The Pals]" (New Oxford Companion to Literature in French, p. 707). Georges Duhamel's (1884–1966) experience as a surgeon during World War I produced Vie des martyrs (1917, tr. The New Book of Martyrs, 1918) and Civilisation (1918, tr. 1919). These collections of sketches are noted for their compassionate accounts of human suffering. He was successful as a dramatist; his Dans l'ombre des statues was performed in 1912 (tr. In the Shadow of Statues, 1914) and L'oeuvre des athlètes in 1920. His fiction includes two cycles of novels—Cycle de Salavin (1920–32, tr. 1936), about a sensitive eccentric, and Chronique des Pasquiers (1933–45, tr. 1937–46), about a bourgeois Parisian family. Essays in Scènes de la vie future (1930, tr. America: the Menace, 1931) and other collections reflect Duhamel's aversion to overindustrialization" (Columbia Enclyclopedia). He wrote passionately against war and its atrocities , and against the rise of Naziism. He was elected to the Académie Français in 1935. Though now largely forgotten, he is perhaps best remembered for his timeless epigram: "It is always brave to say what everyone thinks" Monod 9851. .

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. .

TORQUATO (ARQUATO), ANTONIO etc.: - Prognsosticon de eversione Evropae, & alai quaedam, quorumca talogum sequens do cebit pagina. Antverpen, apud Martin Nutium, 1552.

. 16mo. Lvs 51. Old marbled paper covered boards, restored, spine with title label in manuscript, bottom of spine chipped. Copy of Ericsberg castle. A compilation of smaller treatises on Europe and the Orient. Comprises: "Prognosticon d. Magistri Antonij Torquati, artium & medicinae Doctoris Ferrarien. Clarissimiq; astrologi, de euersione Europae ... MCCC.LXXX. direxit"; "Europae descriptio" by Anselmus & Christophorus Cella; "De fide & religione, moribvsqve & caeromoniis Aethiopum" by Franciscus Titelmans; "Legatio Magni Indorum" by D. a Gois; "De origine regvm Turcarvm compendiosa quaedam perioche, per Andream à Lacuna Secobiensem, collecta"; and "De Turcarvm cvltv ac moribus enarratio quaedam breiuscula". Arquato's Prognosticon first appeared in 1534, without given place or printer, and was presumable inspired by the Turks' failure before Vienna in 1529 and their subsequent reverses in Austria and Syria in 1532. It's likely to have been intended as propaganda for Charles V's crusade against Tunis in 1535. Antonio Torquato was a Ferrarese physian and astrologer. This prophecy became popular, frequently reprinted and translated into several languages. Kenneth Meyer Setton: "Western hostility to Islam, and prophecies of Turkish doom", pp. 26-27. Göllner Turcica iii, pp. 341-42. Gois' "Legatio Magni Indorum Imp." was first published in 1532 (Antverpen) with an English edition appearing in 1533. It comprises pages 28 - 45 of this work, including the part about the Lapps "De Pilapiis" (pp. 44-45). It is a reprint of the first edition. Leite de Faris, Estudos bibliogrâficos sobre Dami‹o de G—is e a sua época, Lisboa 1977, pp. 39-40. See E.W. Dahlgren, Dami‹o de Goes, 1915 + tillägg 1917 (this edition not known).

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.
