1903ST17129-027Edinburgh: Printed by Turnbull and Spears for Otto Schulze & Co September 1903. No. 25 OF 40 COPIES printed on Japanese Vellum. 208 x 176 mm. 8 3/4 x 7". v 289 1 pp. 1 leaf colophon. <br/> MOST ATTRACTIVE DARK BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY OTTO SCHULZE & CO. stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with complex strapwork frame raised bands spine compartments with lobed centerpiece gilt lettering gilt-ruled turn-ins top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. With woodcut white-vine border on title page and on the first page of three poems large white-vine initial printed in red on title page numerous six-line white-vine initials throughout. Printed in red and black. Nearly invisible short scratch near head of front board a couple of corners gently bumped trivial internal imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY with virtually no signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> This collection of poems by the great Romantic rebel is a strictly limited deluxe production from Edinburgh publisher Otto Schulze clearly intended to capitalize on the allure of books produced by the great English private presses. Operating during the first 10 or 15 years of the 20th century Schulze usually had his books printed by George Robb or as here Turnbull and Spears with some copies then finely bound under his firm's name. Such bindings often were done for rather than by the publisher or bookseller whose name is stamp-signed on the volume but since our volume says that the binding is by--and not for--Schulze we can only assume that our publisher had an in-house binder. Whether in-house or outsourced bindings signed by Schulze are consistently attractive but are not common: since 1975 ABPC has listed six such morocco bindings two of them described as "elaborate" or "extra.".

1901ST20827London: Printed at the Ballantyne Press for Vale Press 1901-02. ONE OF 300 COPIES on paper and 10 on vellum. 240 x 145 mm. 9 1/2 x 5 3/4". Three volumes. <br/> VERY PRETTY GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY BAYNTUN-RIVIERE stamp-signed on front turn-ins covers framed by long-stemmed pansies raised bands spine compartments with pansy centerpieces densely gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Fine elaborate woodcut initials and four pages with intricate borders all by Charles Ricketts. Ransom p. 436; Tomkinson p. 170. A breath of shelfwear to tail edges occasional trivial foxing but A BEAUTIFUL SET clean and fresh internally in unworn bindings.<br/> <br/> This is a particularly beautiful English set being printed in London by one of the most important Arts & Crafts private presses and being bound in Bath by an eminent long-lived bindery. The Vale Press was founded--and closely supervised by--Charles Ricketts who was perhaps the most significant figure in the private press movement after William Morris. From 1896-1903 Ricketts ran the Vale Press which produced books that in Cave's words were "far truer to the spirit of fifteenth-century printing than Kelmscott work." The Press issued nearly 50 titles and both its impressive output and considerable artistic success can be attributed to the fact that Ricketts who was remarkably skilled as a designer painter and illustrator was in control of every facet of the operation. Tomkinson observes that "although the actual printing was done on the premises of the Ballantyne Press the Vale books were built entirely on Mr. Ricketts' design under his personal supervision on a press set apart for his sole use; the founts decorations illustrations including the engraving on the wood watermarks and pagination were all the work of Mr. Ricketts and it is doubtful if in the history of printing books have been made which reflect the invention and work of one man more explicitly than do the Vale books." Our bindings are the work of a firm created by the merger of two venerable English binderies. Founded in Bath in 1894 the Bayntun bindery has provided beautiful bindings for bibliophiles for more than 130 years. In 1937 Bayntun acquired the Riviere bindery which had been in business since 1829 and began signing its bindings "Bayntun-Riviere" as here. It is now the last of the great Victorian trade binderies still in family ownership. Although he lived only 30 years Shelly 1792-1822 left an enduring legacy. His remarkable lyricism powerful imagination energetic espousal of political change and vision of the consequential role of the poet he said "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world" combined to exert lasting influence on the poets who came after him. The pansy motif used here--for the marginal decoration in the text as well as in the all-over design of the bindings--is especially apt: in his poem "Remembrance " Shelley wrote "Pansies let MY flowers be" emphasis his.

1941JC11764Culver City California: The Highland Press 1941. Hardcover. Very Good. Cloth gilt-stamped lettering on upper board; 12mo; pp. 55 1. Inscribed by the author on the FFEP "To Lauren Bacall -- with compliments and every best wish from Shirley Carson Jenney." Shirley Carson Jenney d. 1953 American psychic and clairaudient medium produced several volumes which she claimed to have been communicated to her by the spirit of Percy Bysshe Shelley including this volume and one previous "The Great War-Cloud" 1938. Some light bumping at spine tips and along edges of boards. <br/><br/>Lauren Bacall born in the Bronx as Betty Joan Perske 1924-2014 was an American actress known for her distinctive voice and sultry looks. Howard Hawks director producer screenwriter changed her first name to Lauren and Perske adopted "Bacall" a variant of her mother's maiden name of Romanian Jewish descent as her screen surname. The young Lauren Bacall worked as an usher at the St. James Theatre and as a fashion model. She made her acting debut on Broadway in 1942 at age 17 as a walk-on in "Johnny 2x4." By then she lived with her mother on Bank Street Greenwich Village and in 1942 she was crowned Miss Greenwich Village. Though Diana Vreeland is often credited with "discovering" Bacall putting her on the cover of "Vogue" in 1943 much of the iconography surrounding Bacall she cultivated herself with the help of Nancy Hawks Howard Hawks's wife who advised Bacall on clothing elegance manners and taste. Even Bacall's trademark voice required arduous training -- at Hawks's suggestion Bacall worked with a voice coach to make her voice lower and deeper. Her screen debut as the leading lady in the Humphrey Bogart film "To Have and Have Not" 1944 made her an instant star. She married Bogart in 1945 and continued in the film noir genre alongside him in "The Big Sleep" 1946 "Dark Passage" 1947 and "Key Largo" 1948. She starred in the romantic comedies "How to Marry a Millionaire" 1953 with Marilyn Monroe and "Designing Woman" 1957 with Gregory Peck. She co-starred with John Wayne in his final film "The Shootist" 1976. Bacall worked on Broadway in musicals earning Tony Awards for "Applause" 1970 and "Woman of the Year" 1981.

Written after death of his son while Percy and Mary Shelley struggled with their grief in Pisa the poem consists of four stanzas with three sections charting the change of seasons. It is set in a garden bursting with blooms but highlights the sensitive plant-a mimosa-with its humble leafy foliage. Human will is nothing in the face of the impartial power of nature and time. First published in Prometheus Unbound and Other Poems 1820 here it has been reproduced with a delicate binding to match its subject. <br /> <br /> "For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower;<br /> Radiance and odour are not its dower;<br /> It loves even like Love its deep heart is full<br /> It desires what it has not the Beautiful!"<br /> <br /> "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Robt. Riviere & Son unknown
