189377995New York: Printed for the General Convention at the Theodore De Vinne Press 1893. Canonical Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 37 x 26.5 cm. Folio. 28 566 2 pp. Bound into full vellum over boards decorated with gilt botanical design ornate brass clasps. Printed on American hand-made paper. TEG others deckled. Text printed in black and red. With elaborate foliated borders designed by D. B. Updike throughout the work. <br /> <br /> It was printed for the General Convention of the Episcopal Church of 1892. This convention decided on the second major American edition of the prayer book being the first major revision since the edition of 1789. Three different versions of this work were issued. This is one of only 75 copies of the "canonical edition" which were distributed to Episcopal dioceses. On the verso of the title page it is signed by 13 of the people involved in the revision approved by the Convention of 1892. This includes financier and banker J. P. Morgan. Morgan supported the Protestant Episcopal Church throughout his life and commissioned this work. Other signers include William Croswell Doane Henry Cadman Potter Samuel C. Hart Joseph Packard Jr Samuel Eliot and others. The title page does not have a foliated border. <br /> <br /> There was a similar "subscriber's edition" done limited to 500 copies which reproduces the signatures in facsimile and its title page has foliated decorations. Another edition in a smaller format edition distributed to attendees of the 1892 Convention.<br /> The Plan of Symbolism and method of decoration were arranged by Daniel Berkeley Updike founder of the Merrymount Press. The preparatory studies of plants were made by William Wells Bosworth. The floral designs for the borders and cover were by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and the final drawings for reproduction were by Joseph Eliot Hill. <br /> Closed ~7 cm tear at top of front cover hinge. There is some damp staining to the foredge as well as to the edges of some of the pages. This is most noticeable on the last dozen or so pages but at no point do the stains reach the text. This also affects the edges of the front and back cover. References: Griffiths Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer 1893:6.

1893174802New York: Printed at the De Vinne Press for the Committee 1893. The flowering of American Arts and Crafts sensibilities First Updike edition deluxe limited issue one of 500 large copies on handmade paper. Planned by the distinguished printer Daniel Berkeley Updike 1860-1941 this issue features pages framed with garlands of various plants each appropriate to the text it adorns. The deluxe binding is similarly gilt with thistles and Tudor roses alluding to the British origins of the Episcopal church. Updike's rationale for the decoration is elucidated in the loosely inserted pamphlet which accompanies this copy. While his initial intention was to emulate medieval devotional volumes he was limited by the typography common to the entire first edition which would not allow for the introduction of ornate initials. Since the borders could not be illuminated it was decided that the simple monochrome patterns must be elevated by the use of symbolism. This would be botanical befitting the style of the Middle Ages. Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue an architect who often lent his skills to publishing created the designs for the binding and the borders. Although Updike's Merrymount Press was also founded in 1893 they were not prepared for the printing of The Book of Common Prayer and the presswork went to Theodore Low De Vinne 1828-1914 one of the founders of the Grolier Club. While Updike subsequently moved away from Kelmscott-inspired printing this early project is part of his cultivation of Arts and Crafts book production in late 19th-century America. Folio. Elaborate foliate borders throughout text printed in red and black. Original vellum spine and front cover lettered in gilt Gothic script and elaborately decorated with gilt foliate design with Tudor roses and Scottish thistle cornerpieces twin metal clasps endpapers patterned with gilt rose and thistle design top edge gilt fore and bottom edges uncut white bookmarker.

It is a simple volume with little that is distinctive or decorative about it except that there is nothing wrong; the proportions of page and margins title size of types and composition tone of paper and quality of press work offer nothing for obvious criticism.
