The quarterly magazine was the collaboration of architects Arthur Mackmurdo and Herbert Horne and the designer Selwyn Image who together formed the small but influential Century Guild of Artists. It featured essays on the fine and decorative arts architecture literature typography book design and collecting along with much original poetry. The Guild members were clearly well-connected particularly with the Pre-Raphaelites and regular contributors included W.M. Rossetti Christina Rossetti and Frederic Shields. Oscar Wilde contributed an essay on Keats May Morris one on embroidery and William Morris' lecture on "The Influence of Building Materials upon Architecture" appeared for the first time in print in its pages. There is an essay by Hubert Parry on English song writing original poetry from Matthew Arnold and Christina Rossetti and several essays by Alfred Pollard on book design. The contributors were particularly interested in the influence of William Blake and different issues featured several very important Muir facsimiles as well as the first typographic printing of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.A prepublication issue had been printed by George Allen for Mackurdo in 1884. After Mackmurdo and Image stepped away at the end of 1892 the magazine was renamed simply The Hobby Horse and survived for two more years before ending in 1894 the year The Yellow Book first appeared. Neither the prepublication issue nor these later issues are included in this series.An ambitious and quite beautiful production suffused with the spirit of the Arts & Crafts movement the issues are finely printed on handmade paper at the Chiswick Press illustrated with woodcut decorations and with photogravures of notable artworks. From the frontispiece art reproduced with the permission of many famous names to the appended directories of recommended craftsmen and women May Morris William Muir W.M. Rossetti among them the issues form a rich record of the thoughts and activities of a fascinatingly intertwined group of artists authors and designers in the act of revolutionizing the visual arts in England.Complete runs like this are very uncommon in institutions and in the trade.

Lavater's physiognomy differed from those of his predecessors in that he paid special attention to the structure of the head particularly the forehead—a form of psychological indexing that exerted some influence on the development of phrenology and brain localization theories in the early nineteenth century. Lavater's work also influenced artists of the period both in the overall creation of portraits and in the use of his physiognomical theories to construct individual faces in historical paintings" Norman Library.<br/><br/>Lavater's work on physiognomy was extremely popular and by 1810 sixteen German twenty English fifteen French two American two Russian one Dutch and one Italian versions had appeared. Among the portraits included are those of Descartes Locke Milton Newton Vesalius Voltaire and George Washington. Garrison and Morton. Norman Library. Osler 3178. Printed for John Murray unknown books
