1927950Q29London: The Scholartis Press 1927 . First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 9" by 6". None. The author's presentation copy of this collection of verse from Thomas Warton the Elder and his sons Thomas Warton the Younger and Joseph Warton inscribed by the editor Eric Partridge to fellow author Edward Thompson. First edition.Bound in the publisher's quarter cloth with paper-covered boards. Inscribed by Partridge to the author Edward Thompson "To Edward Thompson no grubber in respectable admiration from an unwilling grubber the editor. October 6 1934". In this work Eric Partridge has put together a selection of verse by the Three Wartons; Thomas Warton the Elder and his two sons Thomas Warton the Younger and Joseph Warton. Up until this publication there were very few reprints of the Warton's work so Partridge aimed to bring light to this and give a selection of poetry from all three Wartons. Thomas Warton the Elder was an English clergyman and a professor of poetry at Oxford. Joseph Warton and Thomas Warton the Younger were both well-known for their academia in English with the latter being appointed Poet Laureate in 1785. Partridge included many of their verse as well as a note and a select bibliography of the Warton's work. Bound in the publisher's quarter cloth with paper-covered boards. Externally generally smart with rubbing to extremities and some fading to the boards and spine. A little loss to paper to the front board. Ink inscription to front endpaper. Internally firmly bound with bright clean pages. Very Good The Scholartis Press hardcover

"Between 1940 and 1944 the Germans carried out what was probably the most impressive building programme since the time of the Romans as they constructed the 'Atlantic Wall' from Norway to the Spanish border. They produced an architecture of pure form developed from methods of standardisation on a previously unimaginable scale and all the more startling for its contrast with the blatant eclecticism of Fascist architecture in peacetime." - Introduction. Written from both a military and architectural point of view. 144 pages. Bibliography index maps tables and diagrams. Profusely illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos. Clean tight and unmarked with moderate wear. A sound signed example of this fascinating and impressive study. 24 x 18cm. ; 8vo; Signed by Author . D. I. Publications paperback

The Art of The Illustrator by Percy V Bradshaw was published in 1918 by The Press Art School Forest Hill London.

Each artist was given an entirely free hand as to subject the only stipulation being that the painting or drawing should be representative of his/her technique and that each stage in its composition should be shown. Bradshaw then reproduced in 6 plates each step in the artistic process and published the 6 lithographs in a portfolio with a 12 page introduction and description of the process within a card folder. 'The Road to Victory' is the pen and ink drawing demonstrated by Bernard Partridge chief cartoonist at "Punch". Artists in this series are Lawson Wood F.H.
