17049200United Kingdom various 1704-1710. Second Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. Nine sammelband pamphlets bound in blind stamped decorative calf overlay recased with brown cloth boards; apparent shelf wear and toning to leaves each pamphlet constitutes approximately 16 pp. 8 vo. Scarce copies of all in disbound condition so this bound aggregate is a rare and singular entity. <br/><br/>A collection of poetry tracts in the 18th century assembled and bound as a set showcasing typical and popular poetry writing and style in England. This was a common practice to gather political satire and literary tracts and bind them together generally at the discretion of the owner or in some cases the printer and/or bookseller. The majority of these works are poetry written as political satire towards the Tory government. This method of binding separate works 'sammelband' also speaks to contemporary collecting and publishing practices. <br />The bound volume lists separate works as follows: <br />attrib. Ward Edward.

Paper watermarked with a fleur-de-lys and shield with capital letters L V G below Lubertus van Gerrevink. Some light scattered foxing and offsetting plate 20 with closed tear to top margin just entering plate area without loss folding plate 26 torn across and repaired. Modern retrospective calf gilt edges red-stained extremities very lightly rubbed. Provenance: contemporary notes in Portuguese on the blank verso of the last plate; Duncan Grant Warrand loosely inserted ex-libris; Martin Woolf Orskey bookseller 1925-2018 signature at end with purchase date 1972. A multi-lingual catalogue of pottery produced by Hartley Greens and Co. for the use of traveling salesmen. Founded circa 1756 at Hunslet south of Leeds the company gained a reputation for its elegant cream-colored earthenware in the classical style known as creamware a type of earthenware made from white Cornish clay combined with a translucent glaze to produce a characteristic pale cream color. Hartley Greens and Co. so dominated the market that their products came to be referred to as Leedsware or Leeds pottery. Although some of the pieces in this catalogue are for display or special use Leeds pottery was generally a more everyday pottery than that of Wedgewood their principal rival and hence its survival rate is low. The earlier pieces before around 1775 were furthermore unmarked making attribution uncertain thus rendering the firm's printed catalogues all the more important. The present catalogue was "one of the earliest pattern books published in England by pottery manufacturers for the use of their travellers with illustrations of all the articles produced by the firm" Solon. It shows the creamware as issued from the studios before jobbers and importers added colored glazes. Shown are terrines sauce boats salts jugs egg cups covered terrines and bowls cake plates cruet stands candlesticks urns tea services and a remarkable tulip vase among other useful objects of the table many with ornaments some in the characteristic openwork or perforated style. All 186 designs are numbered and identified in the accompanying plate lists. The variety is impressive. Copies of the Leeds catalogues were often cut up by jobbers who relied on the illustrations to transmit orders accurately rather than trusting to written descriptions of the forms. Their consequent rarity makes the publishing history of the catalogues difficult to unravel. The earliest catalogue appeared in 1783 with the text in English only and 41 plates. The Danish National Library has a copy with the text in English and French and the English title dated 1786. Another copy of the present 1794 edition is held by the V&A but it has only 41 plates. Meanwhile there are also copies of a 1794 edition at Yale and RISD with the English text only but with 71 plates. The plates were reissued in 1795 and 1814 or 1815 these undated issues are identified by the watermarked dates of the paper they are printed on. Most of the variously dated copies seem to be reissues of the same plates. Most of the variously dated copies seem to be reissues of the same plates. A comparison of this copy to the Winterthur copy from 1814 which is digitized shows that the same plates were used with the addition of an engraved oval label " Leeds Pottery" on each plate up to and including plate 38 a compotier from which emerges a large cross after which the designs diverge. The editions or issues after 1795 do not have the very useful text with gives the name function and size of each piece: "As the price lists and the general title had been printed independently from the plates and not in sufficient quality to accompany the sets of engravings these late copies are generally found without the title and the printed description of the objects. These price lists now very rare were printed in English French German and Spanish. As the prices were subject to constant revision prices are added with pen and ink" Solon. Our copy is unpriced. Altogether OCLC locates fewer than a dozen copies some incomplete of various issues or editions of the Leeds pottery catalogue. Cf. M.-L. Solon Ceramic Literature 1910 p. 196. unknown books
