06505Paris: Viginet 1860. A Jewel of French Decorative Lithography<br /> Édouard Lièvre's Vision of the Twelve Months<br /> <br /> LIÈVRE Édouard Lièvre. Les Douze Mois. Paris: Vignet n.d. ca. 1860s.<br /> <br /> First edition. Oblong quarto 8 15/16 x 12 1/8 inches; 227 x 308 mm. Title-page printed in gold black and green.<br /> With twelve fine hand-colored lithograph plates each accompanied by a protective leaf.<br /> <br /> Publisher's green pebbled boards front cover elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt. Binding bright gilt crisp with only minor wear at extremities; an unusually well-preserved example in original boards.<br /> <br /> A beautifully conceived decorative suite representing the twelve months.<br /> <br /> The twelve hand-colored lithographs are conceived as intimate seasonal vignettes each centered on young children engaged in quiet domestic or outdoor activities appropriate to the month. Rather than formal allegorical figures <br /> Lièvre presents scenes of childhood observation and gentle narrative - reading tending resting or playing - imbued with a sense of calm order and refinement.<br /> <br /> The children are depicted in elegant period costume their gestures natural and unforced often set within carefully rendered interiors or garden settings. Each composition balances figure and environment with subtle attention to furnishings textiles and seasonal detail reflecting Lièvre's background as a designer in the decorative arts.<br /> <br /> The coloring is delicate and restrained favoring soft tonal washes over bold saturation lending the series a unified atmospheric quality. The result is less overtly didactic than traditional "months" iconography and instead offers a poetic vision of childhood framed by the passage of the year.<br /> <br /> The elaborate publisher's binding with its gilt decoration echoing the sophistication of the plates within makes this an especially appealing survival in original form.

1848W1799London: John W. Parker 1848. 2 volumes: frontispiece 4 ccxxxii 504 pages; and frontispiece 4 649 1 pages. 12mo. First editions. Bound in full tan leather by 19th century Glasgow bookbinders Carss & Co.; marbled edges and endpapers. Published 3 years after the death of British writer John Sterling 1806-1844 at age 38 these two volumes contain much of his output as well as a memoir of his life by Charles Hare. Included are most of his fantasy tales among which are the novella The Onyx Ring five of the fantasy tales that were imbedded in the novel Arthur Coningsby and the longer short story "A Chronicle of England" which Murray Ewing describes as "a delightful fairy-haunted picture of England in the days before it received its first human inhabitants." John Sterling had long languished in obscurity but today he is hailed by many as an important progenitor of fantastical literature. In the Encyclopedia of Fantasy John Clute and John Grant argue that Sterling has to be considered "the most significant UK pioneer of fantasy." In The Dedalus Book of British Fantasy: The 19th Century Brian Stableford states: Sterling would surely have become one of the leading writers of his day had he not died so young and he might well have become the most important nineteenth century fantasy writer; his prose fantasies are more various and more adventurous than any other contemporary work. Very good condition: both volumes are clean and tight with some rubbing along edges of covers and spine. There is a Bloomingdales price sticker affixed to the verso of the front free endpaper in each volume. Rare: WorldCat locates only 5 copies in libraries worldwide. First Edition. Hardcover.
