1997CNJL1063Monmouthshire: The Old Stile Press 1997. Limited Edition. Leather. Fine. Pitts J. Martin. No. IX of X specially bound copies folio size 27 pp. signed by J. Martin Pitts and Paul Delrue with prospectus. Paul Delrue b. 1944 bound his first book at the age of fifteen in 1959 and knew he had discovered his calling. He became an apprentice at the University College London from 1961-64 and worked there as a binder until 1971. He set up his own bindery in 1971 and in 1981 was elected a Fellow of the Society of Bookbinders having founded and served as chairman of the Chester and North Wales branch in 1979. Paul has earned numerous awards and honours including the Silver medal and three other awards in 1991 in The Bookbinding Competition. He was elected a Fellow of Designer Bookbinders in the same year; the following year he was awarded two Bronze medals in the prestigious Prix Paul Bonet. <br/><br/>Paul invented the lacunose style of binding which is masterfully shown in this work although he uses other methods as well. His work is highly prized and springs from within him; as he writes on his website "A book and its binding are inextricably linked - the one complements the other in a way which creates something more than just a book with an attractive cover. My design bindings draw on what a book says to me and how it inspires me emotionally." <br/><br/>The lovely Delrue binding perfectly complements the story by The Hon. Roden Noel 1834-1894. "In this poem he mixes elements of the story of Salmacis & Hermaphroditus from Ovid's Metamorphoses with memories of moods settings and atmospheres from his Irish childhood combining as John Addington Symonds wrote full sensuous feeling for the material world with an ever-present sense of the spirit informing it and bringing all its products into vital harmony." n.b. from the web site of The Old Stile Press<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Full leather in the Lacunose style with leathers used in colours of different blues grey greens brown and tan with swirls of lighter colour reminiscent of water pooling and white featherstrokes fore- and bottom edges uncut printed on brown paper throughout French folds double-spread title page with two-colour linocut by J.

1930184460Shanghai: Kelly and Walsh Limited 1930. The Hunt started off from Misery Flats; / Some rode in toppers some billycock hats First edition of this celebration of the Shanghai paper hunt the expatriate community's answer to fox hunting. The text is supported by detailed maps of Shanghai's rural environs and photographs from the private collections of members as well as drawings provided by the Shanghai-based artist Edmund Toeg and the cartoonist H. W. G. Hayter. Equestrian pursuits were extremely popular in Republican China's international settlements. Businessmen diplomats military officers and the well-to-do used them to affirm their status and build connections and Shanghai was perpetually gripped by a "mania" Weirather p. 59 for racing. Founded in 1863 the Paper Hunt Club was one of the oldest expatriate groups in the city and by 1930 it included members from 19 different nationalities. This history anthologizes a large amount of information from the club's archives. A special section pays tribute to Ah Pau the head boy responsible for laying the paper trail for riders to follow. Ah Pau was invaluable when dealing with locals who objected to riders careering across their land: "In his dealings with his fellow countrymen he is usually the embodiment of imperturbability and good humour but when their rapacity and obstructiveness pass all reasonable bounds he lashes them with stinging invective and withers them with biting scorn" p. 29.

1841190305London: William Smith 1841. A gem of 19th-century entomological illustration First edition of this splendidly illustrated book one of Humphreys's most accomplished works as a naturalist illustrator. It is a collaboration with the leading entomologist John Westwood who contributed the letterpress. A skilled artist trained in Brussels Humphreys became interested in natural history after a tour of Italy. Upon his return he settled in London as a neighbour of a relative the landscape architect and prolific author J. C. Loudon. Humphreys is "deservedly remembered for his extensive and significant contribution to the commercially produced book" ODNB. He wrote for a series of garden periodicals including Loudon's Gardener's Magazine and published two entomological works with Westwood: the present work on butterflies and subsequently British Moths and Their Transformations 1843-45. Both proved extremely popular. Westwood 1805-1893 was one of the first entomologists to obtain an academic position at Oxford University and he founded with Frederick William Hope the Entomological Society of London. In 1846 the name Westwoodia was given in his honour to a genus of Hymenoptera. He was himself a skilled insect illustrator contributing drawings to several publications between the 1820s and the the 1840s. Large quarto 266 x 206 mm. Original green roan spine with gilt raised bands lettering and floral decoration in compartments covers with blind frame enclosing elaborate floral border and centrepiece board edges and turn-ins richly gilt yellow coated endpapers edges gilt. Hand-coloured lithographic title page and 42 similar plates.

A very good copy. hardcover
1848182652London: Longman & Co. 1848. One of the "supreme examples of Victorian Gothic" First edition of this icon of 19th-century book design. It is one of a handful of titles that showcase Humphrey's black so-called papier-mâché binding and displays a fantastic suite of his chromolithographs. Such bindings which imitate carved ebony were cast in plaster over a papier mâché mould. "The result was splendidly gothic and impressive" and they represent "perhaps the biggest triumph among all the ingenuities of Victorian commercial book-binding" McLean pp. 72 & 151. This design was inspired by a binding of carved ivory on a psalter in the British Museum. Humphreys 1810-1879 was also heavily influenced by Italian and Flemish manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The skill of the chromolithography demonstrated here is masterly and improves upon that of his previous titles. Octavo. Chromolithograph title page heightened in gilt 31 chromolithograph leaves with text and borders in medieval style 4 pp. letterpress at end. Original black plaster boards with elaborate gothic relievo design by Humphreys incorporating six medallion vignettes depicting miracles black embossed morocco spine spine and both boards lettered in relief gilt inner dentelles Fountain pattern marbled endpapers gilt edges. Housed in a custom blue cloth box. Relievo crisp and unrubbed boards superficially cracked at edges lower corners bumped letterpress pages foxed plates bright. A near-fine copy.

Inscribed to Benjamin Silliman. William Goetzmann calls Lieutenant Ives's complete report "The best by far of these individual reports.It is a long carefully written journal consciously literary but with a maximum amount of attention to scientific observation. John Strong Newberry's geological report which accompanied Ives's narrative is one of the best of the government geological reports." Goetzmann gives a full account of the expedition in Army Exploration in the American West pp.379-94. Includes these separately numbered parts: Geological Report. By Dr. John Strong Newberry; Botany. By Professors Asa Gray John Torrey et al.; Zoology. By Professor Spencer Fullerton Baird; and Appendices<br/><br/>Inscribed by John Strong Newberry on the title page: "Prof. B. Silliman Jr. with the kind regards of J.S. Newberry." John Strong Newberry who was the naturalist on Ives' expedition up the Colorado River wrote Part III of this Report which deals with the Geology and Paleontology of the regions they explored. Ives' party were among the first white men to visit the floor of the Grand Canyon and upon their return it was Newberry who realized the canyon's geological significance and encouraged further exploration. It is likely that Newberry inscribed this copy to Benjamin Silliman Jr. a famous chemist and Yale professor whose analysis of "rock oil" in Pennsylvania in 1855 introduced investors to the potential of petroleum and led to the drilling of Edwin Drake's successful oil well on his property in 1857. Silliman also took on consulting activities in the American West in the 1860's and favorably reported on petroleum deposits in southern California as well as gold and silver properties in California Nevada and northern Arizona.
