SHOWING A COURTROOM SCENE. Front free endleaf with morocco bookplate of Robert Hoe. ◆Just the slightest hint of rubbing to joints but A VERY FINE SPECIMEN entirely fresh bright and clean inside and out.<br/> <br/> This elegant little manuscript in French recounts Guy de Maupassant's satirical tale of a trial in the provinces; it was created by a man who knew the inside of a courtroom all too well. Bouton 1819-1901 was a young rebel during the 1848 Revolution who spent five years in jail for his participation in a bombing in Paris. Oddly enough the dedicated republican was also an expert on heraldry and paleography publishing pamphlets on those subjects as well as on politics and producing manuscripts like the present one. De Maupassant 1850-1893 is generally acknowledged as one of the great masters of the short story. In the present tale a wealthy older woman who had tried to buy a young peasant's love by giving him land sues unsuccessfully for the return of her property when the object of her affection forsakes her for a younger woman. According to Beverly Chew the library of Robert Hoe 1839-1911 founding member and first president of the Grolier Club was "the finest America has ever contained." Hoe acquired illuminated manuscripts early printing he owned a Gutenberg Bible on paper and one on vellum fine bindings French and English literature and Americana and when his library was sold in 1911-12 it fetched nearly $2 million a record that held until the Streeter sale more than 50 years later. Hoe owned several Bouton manuscripts of de Maupassant stories and the Morgan Library also has Bouton creations. The Lortic name was made famous in the history of French binding by Pierre Marcellin Lortic 1822-92 a leading Parisian binder for 40 years; the binder here was Lortic's son Marcellin or "Lortic Fils" 1852-1928. unknown

1862ST20857London: Edmund Evans for Sampson Low Son and Co 1862. ONE OF PERHAPS 10 COPIES PRINTED ON VELLUM. 260 x 195 mm. 10 1/4 x 7 3/4". vii 1 235 1 pp. <br/> Publisher's stiff vellum smooth spine with gilt lettering edges untrimmed. In a modern felt-lined blue buckram drop-back box. Decorative initials in red or blue title page and text leaves with full criblé border of vined foliation occasionally inhabited eight or 10 leaves with more extensive illustrations at head or foot all engraved by W. J. Linton after illustrations by John Franklin. Front pastedown with ex-libris of Marion Hope Rattey. A Large Paper Copy. McLean "Victorian Book Design" p. 184. Short thin cracks to head and tail of front joint spine vaguely soiled upper cover with two very small brown spots and one trivial red mark occasional mild rumpling or naturally occurring variations in the grain or thickness of the vellum as usual a couple of minor smudges but still a very agreeable copy the binding solid and without the splaying common in vellum books the interior clean fresh and bright and the margins extraordinarily wide.<br/> <br/> This is an infrequently encountered copy of a beautiful Victorian book on vellum issued by one of the era's top printers. The volume was printed by Edmund Evans 1826-1905 who is now best remembered for his illustrations and advances in color wood engravings. Relatively little is known about this book's production: Ruari McLean tells us that it was "entirely printed" by Evans but it is unknown whether he was responsible for the design as well McLean remarks that "if Evans was responsible for its design it shows his superiority in book-making". We also are unsure how many copies were printed on vellum although the general consensus is 10. Regardless as McLean tells us "it is one of the prettiest books of the 'sixties" with sharp deep impressions of the type on the rich creamy vellum jewel-like colored initials and elegant wood-engraved illustrations. These illustrations are the work of John Franklin ca.1800-68 a painter and draftsman who was highly respected in his own time. The precisely realized borders feature idealized human forms posed within a robust botanical largely acanthus context the figures posing with balletic grace their expressive faces often turned gently away from the reader. The size of the leaf here is significant: the untrimmed edges retain their tiny printing pinholes which would normally have been trimmed away with regrettable loss. And not surprisingly our vellum printing is almost never seen: we could trace just two copies at auction since 1924. Former owner Marion Hope Rattey 1922-97 was likely the daughter of bibliographer Clifford C. Rattey 1886-1970 whose impressive library featured incunabula and block prints.

1882ST16453Glasgow: Printed by Robert Anderson for Private Circulation 1882. ONE OF ONLY 50 COPIES. 195 x 122 mm. 7 3/4 x 4 7/8". 1 p.l. x 103 1 pp.From George Bannatyne's manuscript compiled A.D. 1568. <br/> BEAUTIFUL CITRON CRUSHED MOROCCO ELABORATELY TOOLED IN GILT BY RAMAGE stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with six concentric frames--intricate filigree roll pointillé-tooled floral vine and alternating small ornaments--enclosing a central panel with cornerpieces semé with rows of fleurs-de-lys large oval medallion at center radiating ornate fleurons raised bands spine compartments with large central medallion containing a vase of flowers delicate tooling in corners gilt titling turn-ins framed by filigree roll and alternating small ornaments brown and tan silk jacquard endleaves patterned in a Medieval motif top edge gilt. Printer's device on title page decorative woodcut initials and headpieces. Spines evenly sunned to a warm honey brown corners lightly rubbed short faint scratch to lower board but the binding virtually unworn and happily free of the splaying that plagues vellum books. Leaves lightly rumpled but A VERY FINE COPY the vellum leaves creamy clean and bright and the binding glittering with gold.<br/> <br/> Printed on luxurious vellum and limited to just 50 copies presumably for private circulation among friends of the printer this is a lovely edition of 16th century poems by a mysterious author believed to have been a poet and musician associated with the court of Mary Queen of Scots. This work contains all 36 extant poems attributed to Scott ca. 1520-82/3 including what is considered to be his most historically important work "Ane New Yeir Gift to Quene Mary" 1562 written in support of the young Scottish queen caught between Catholic and Protestant agendas. His other poems consist largely of lyric verses on love and sexuality which DNB describes as possessing "exceptional metrical variety and vernacular directness" with "a musician's ear for rhythm and melody." Scott's poems are known to us via the Bannatyne manuscript now held in the National Library of Scotland which ranks among the most important documents of Scottish Medieval literature. Written by George Bannatyne in 1568 during a period of confinement due to an outbreak of plague it contains a mixture of both secular and religious material including the sole extant copies of several texts. In the preface to the present work the publisher notes that Scott's poetry has been faithfully reproduced from that manuscript and thus "for the first time accurately printed." Very little is known regarding the life of Alexander Scott but he seems to have been attached to the court of Mary Stuart through John Erskine a guardian and counselor to the queen. Given the very limited number of copies made it is not surprising that this work is extremely rare on the market. Printed [by Robert Anderson] for Private Circulation unknown

1907ST16456Birmingham 1907. 312 x 275 mm. 12 3/8 x 10 3/4". 16 leaves illuminated on rectos only. <br/> Pleasing original full vellum over bevelled boards covers ruled in gilt and with gilt crosses in each corner gilt lettering on upper cover smooth spine gilt rules dividing compartments with central gilt cross thick vellum turn-ins ruled in gilt bright purple silk endpapers front joint very expertly repaired. Calligraphic lettering mostly in black green and red a few one-line initials and many three-line initials in blue or purple with red penwork several slightly larger purple or blue initials infilled with ivy of various colors and dotted with gold EACH PAGE WITH A DIFFERENT ARTS & CRAFTS-INSPIRED FLORAL BORDER consisting of multi-colored blossoms and acanthus as well as meandering vine-stems and highlighted with gold bezants or stippled gold ONE LEAF WITH A 90 MM. INITIAL INHABITED BY A REALISTIC CATHEDRAL INTERIOR the large lettering below it on a gold ground with etched patterns and painted purple ivy leaves the text and the initial surrounded by pink roses green leaves and thorny vines. ◆Corners a bit bumped vellum with a few shallow scratches slightly soiled in a few places other minor signs of use but the binding still quite clean and attractive; perhaps a hint of thumb-soiling to margins of a couple leaves but the contents in nearly perfect condition.<br/> <br/> This is a beautiful and engaging manuscript with imaginative illuminations by the little-known but extremely talented illuminator calligrapher and cartographer Ernest Costain Clegg 1876-1954. The text here reproduces the Great Litany of the Church of England derived from the Book of Common Prayer and composed of short divine petitions. Each leaf contains a different and unique border featuring stylized floral motifs often with curving vines encircling the text and a cheerful color palette consisting of clear pastels that beautifully offset the darker inks used in the text. The generous use of gold on the first leaf of text and gilt details throughout the borders provide a dimension of luxury without overshadowing the prayers themselves. Clegg draws on the Medieval tradition of manuscript illumination but this work also shows the influence of the Arts & Crafts movement of the 19th century especially in the beautiful initial inhabited by a realistic Cathedral interior pierced with light--a feature that invites comparison with the superlative work of Alberto Sangorski. But Clegg's reliance on a variety of floral decoration in his borders makes this manuscript more feminine than the typical work of Sangorski. Ernest Clegg entered the military in his early twenties serving in the Boer War 1899-1902 then returned to England to train at the Birmingham School of Art. In 1909 he went to work for Tiffany's of New York as a jewelry designer. Clegg also served in the English forces during the First World War; afterwards in America his popularity in the veteran community led to more commissions and a thriving artistic career. Clegg is perhaps best known for illustrating the poem "In Flanders Fields" written by John McCrae but he also found success as a cartographer producing among other works a well-known map of Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic in 1927. unknown
ST20509a-bGermany Late 11th or early 12th century. Largest bifolium measures 221 x 275 mm. 8 7/8 x 10 3/4". Single column 25-27 lines in a late Caroline hand. <br/> Rubrics in orange each bifolium with one or more one one-line initial in orange and one or more large four- to five-line initials in orange. With marginal notations in a later hand. Recovered from a binding and thus with some soiling abrasions glue residue and other small problems; the pages nearly complete but with a couple of letters and/or lines cut away from one side of each bifolia with more extensive abrasions on one side affecting legibility but very good specimens overall the better side in each case quite clear and readable.<br/> <br/> Once part of a Lectionary a collection of scriptural readings appropriate for Masses through the year and other ceremonial occasions these attractive mostly legible binding fragments display an excellent transitional script with both Caroline minuscule and proto-gothic characteristics. The present examples include short lessons or "lectiones" taken from the Old and New Testaments including among other passages excerpts from John in which Christ casts the sellers out of the temple and Daniel relating the prayers of the three men who refused to bow to Nebuchadnezzar's golden idol. The lovely script here shares much in common with the pure Caroline miniscule of earlier centuries--particularly in the overall legibility of the text the space between individual letters and the limited use of ligatures and abbreviations; also of note is the exclusive use of the long "s" unless at the beginning of a sentence and the ampersand as a general abbreviation for the letters "et" occurring anywhere in a word e.g. "propheta" written "proph&a" here. Evidence of a progression toward proto-gothic script can also be observed here in the appearance of certain letter forms such as the closed "g" a more oval "o" and the use of two forms of "d" both upright and Uncial the latter with a sloping shaft. There is added interest here in the form of marginal notations in a later hand--probably dating from the time these bifolia were in situ as binding waste. unknown
