1809ST14310fLondon: J. Hatchard 1809. 210 x 133 mm. 8 1/4 x 5 1/4". xvi 291 pp.Translated by Louisa A. Marshall. <br/> Contemporary dark blue straight-grain morocco covers bordered with gilt rule flat spine with simple gilt rules and titling gilt-ruled turn-ins all edges gilt and WITH A FINE FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF A SCENIC RIVER VIEW FEATURING CHRIST CHURCH PRIORY in Hampshire. Front free endpaper with owner signature of E. A. Fetherston. Slight variation in color of boards half title with one inch trimmed away at head probably removing owner inscription leaves a shade less than bright occasional minor foxing or offsetting in the text bed but still an excellent copy the text clean and fresh the pleasant binding entirely sound and the lovely fore-edge painting very well preserved.<br/> <br/> The typically bucolic fore-edge scene here--boat in tranquil water stately building occupying center stage trees all around puffy clouds--stands out for the level of achievement in execution by the artist. The clouds are painted in a delicately applied range of shades so that they are very convincing; there is considerable architectural detail visible on the side of the church; and it seems as if one can almost see individual leaves in the trees. These features are all hallmarks of the work of the so-called "Dover Painter" the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore edges in the 1920s and 1930s. He did work for the famous London bookseller Marks & Company for Dawson's Bookshop in Los Angeles and for J. W. Robinson Company the Los Angeles department store. Estelle Doheny 1875-1958 whose library comprised one of the great collections of the 20th century bought actively from Dawson's and Weber estimates that approximately half of the very considerable number of especially fine fore-edge paintings in the Doheny collection in Camarillo California were done by the Dover Painter. As the fore-edge painting here evokes a feeling of serenity so too does the content religious meditations by François Fénélon 1651-1715 priest writer and tutor to King Louis XIV's grandson for whom he composed his best-known work "The Adventures of Telemachus.".
