Decorative binding embossed pictorial blue cloth over boards with gilt all edges gilt. Bookplate of Charles H. Bayley to front paste down. Page 43/44 is a British Library copy bound in with binding a little loose at this gathering. Cover shows wear with rubbing to edges."A comical and satirical illustrated book by the Victorian clergyman novelist and eventual photographer Cuthbert Bede. The book addresses the attitudes and challenges surrounding early photography and attempts to portray a serious scientific pursuit in a leisurely and lighthearted context. Photographic Pleasures is both a lampooning of "serious" Victorian-era photography and a taunting commentary of the personalities and social attitudes of the time.The book begins with a note to the reader suggesting that the reason for the increase in popularity of photography as an amateur hobby or leisure pursuit is the fact that the technology is still new and in its infancy." - University of Glasgow Special Collections Department Book of the Month.

187037262Newark 1870. 2pp. 5" x 7-3/4." Entirely in ink manuscript on lined paper and signed "Joseph P. Bradley." Munsell's name above the salutation covers The previously written name of Bradley. Very Good. <br/><br/> Bradley a Rutgers graduate was a highly respected New Jersey lawyer specializing in railroad and patent litigation. President Grant nominated him to the United States Supreme Court in early 1870 and he took his seat in March. He served until 1891. His Letter transcribed in full words in capital letters are underlined in the original suggests that Munsell certainly earned his fee for publishing the book discussed here. The book was 'The Centennial Celebration of Rutgers College June 21 1870: With an Historical Discourse. Delivered by Hon. Joseph Bradley.' It was printed in Albany by Munsell in 1870. Bradley had a scholar's attention to detail and wanted Munsell's work to reflect precisely Bradley's thinking. <br/> "You did not quite understand one correction made by me on the title page. That thing which I originally called an APPENDIX we propose to call a NOTE and say nothing about it in the title page - occupying the same place as it now does - at the end; - but under the name of a note instead of that of an appendix. Hence. Then we propose to call the account of the Centennial Exercises - AN APPENDIX. Now you will see the meaning of my correction on the title page. Calling the account of the Centennial Exercise by the name of an appendix my name as author of the Address could properly come AFTER the word 'Appendix' as you suggest. It would be better if it could. Perhaps even now my name had better come after the word "1870" immediately before the words " with an Appendix." I agree with you that it is more usual to have the name of the author down there.<br/> "Yours truly Joseph P. Bradley. unknown books

In referring to Bradley's "An Improved Spelling Book" similar in format to this one and published the same year Nietz informs us that "this book was different from many others in several respects. First Bradley frankly acknowledged that 'the extracts have been taken from Webster Wood Picket Alden Bingham Flint Murray Hubbard Fordyce Walker the American Gentleman's Pronouncing Dictionary Dr. Johnson Dr. Morse and Dr. Blair all authors of spellers.' A second different feature was that all of the content other than the spelling words was presented in catechetical form" Nietz.

Image 9-1/2 x 12 inches; attractively gilt-framed with lettered French mat 17-1/2 x 19-1/2 inches overall. Original Drawing of Mr. Verdant Green at Cricket. A popular Victorian literary character was Mr. Verdant Green an Oxford Freshman hero of several books written and illustrated by a Midland vicar Rev. Edward Bradley 1827-1889 under the pen-name of Cuthbert Bede. Bradley had learned wood-engraving from no less than George Cruikshank but as Houfe notes "remained very much the amateur illustrating his own books.and others in a jolly and careless style." He also drew for Punch and "was one of the first illustrators to satirise photography."<br/><br/>This drawing jolly and careless shows two sketches of the hapless freshman unsuccessfully defending a wicket--the drawings appear in more finished wood-engraved form on pages 100-101 of The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green-- and a more formal portrait done in the year in which The Adventures first appeared thus making it an Oxford literary and cricket item all in one.
