This volume constitutes the first collected edition of Keats and only the second collected works of Coleridge & Shelley although only volume 1 issued in 5 parts of the 1826 edition of Shelley's works was issued and the edition was not completed and contains works published here for the first time from all three poets. Each poets work is preceded by a short life of the author. The memoir of Keats is by Leigh Hunt. Although Keats' literary executor Charles Armitage Brown disliked Hunt's portrayal of his friend his own account of Keats life was not ready in time for this edition and would not see publication for another 108 years in 1937. He did however send some unpublished poems in his possession for inclusion in the volume. The memoir of Shelley was written by Mary Shelley who also helped the publication of this edition by allowing the publisher access to his papers. Although this volume was published by the Galignanis in Paris avoiding the British copyright and meaning no royalties would be due they did have the co-operation of family members and literary friends of all three poets when assembling this impressive volume.;. 1268602.

Buxton Forman. <br/> PARTICULARLY FINE RED CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT AND ONLAID BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE stamp-signed on front turn-in covers framed by multiple plain and decorative rolls cornerpieces with the gilt torch of liberty extending obliquely from an onlaid green morocco heart bracketed by volutes front boards with central onlaid citron morocco medallion stamped with the poet's gilt monogram rear boards with onlaid citron morocco pansy surrounded by a gilt collar with the quote "Pansies let my flowers be" from "Remembrance"; raised bands spine compartments with onlaid green morocco quatrefoil at center volutes at corners volume I with FRONT DOUBLURE OF BROWN MOROCCO semé with rows of alternating quatrefoils and dots at center A MINIATURE PORTRAIT OF SHELLEY UNDER GLASS framed by a laurel wreath inlaid with four red morocco cinquefoils navy blue moiré silk endleaves all edges gilt and delicately gauffered. Housed together in a fleece-lined red cloth drop-back box. Frontispiece in each volume vignette title pages. Front flyleaves with engraved bookplates of Edward Laurence Doheny and Carrie Estelle Doheny. A FLAWLESS AND SPARKLING SET.<br/> <br/> This is the outstanding Doheny copy in lovely bindings of a body of literature graced with a lyricism Day asserts is "unmatched elsewhere in English verse in its ethereal ideal beauty." While the notes of Shelley's wife appended here have aroused considerable denigration she is accused among other things of making her husband's verse less political than it actually was her editorial work is nevertheless professional and has remained an essential source for the study of Shelley's work. As Betty T. Bennett explains "biographers and critics agree that Mary Shelley's commitment to bring her husband the notice she believed his works merited was the single major force that established Shelley's reputation during a period when he almost certainly would have faded from public view." Thanks to her efforts Shelley 1792-1822 is one of the best-known English poets and an icon of the Romantic movement. According to DNB our editor Henry Harry Buxton Forman 1842–1917 "channelled a general enthusiasm into a minute study of textual details for which his careful and exacting temperament was ideally suited. His patient application produced impressive editions of Shelley" who was along with Keats Forman's main literary interest. After studying under and then working for Douglas Cockerell Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912 when Francis tragically drowned. Despite this loss the firm grew and prospered employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century. The "Cosway" binding with painted miniatures inlaid in handsome morocco apparently originated with the London bookselling firm of Henry Sotheran about 1909 the year G. C. Williamson's book entitled "Richard Cosway" was remaindered by Sotheran and presumably given this special decorative treatment. The name "Cosway"--referring to the British miniature painter Richard Cosway 1742-1821--was then used to describe any book so treated whoever its author. This set was bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for book dealer J. W. Robinson of Los Angeles who supplied many books for the superb collection of Estelle Doheny 1875-1958 one of the most distinguished women book collectors of the 20th century whose magnificent library was especially rich in fine bindings. Volumes from her collection are sought after for their especially fine condition. [Printed at the Ballantyne Press for] Reeves & Turner unknown
18866240London: Reeves & Turner 1886. Second edition. Fine. Two octavo volumes 7 1/4 x 4 11/16 inches; 184 x 119 mm. 572; 580 pp. A spectacular ca. 1920 Cosway-Style binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for the J.L. Hudson Company stamp-signed in gilt on rear turn-in. Full red crushed levant morocco over beveled boards covers lavishly gilt in the Art Nouveau style with inlaid green and light brown morocco inlays. The first volume with a central green morocco medallion with Percy Bysshe Shelley's initials in gilt. The second volume with a central green morocco medallion with the phrase "Pansies/Let My Flowers Be" stamped in gilt. Spines with five raised bands elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments four of which have onlaid green morocco flowers. Double gilt-ruled board edges and elaborate gilt turn-ins dark blue watered silk liners and endleaves all edges gilt and gauffered. The first volume with a front doublure of dark blue crushed levant morocco multi-ruled in gilt. In the center is a superb gilt framed hand-painted portrait miniature 3 x 2 3/8 inches; 76 x 60 mm. of Percy Bysshe Shelley. The miniature is surrounded by a rectangular recessed frame with eight onlaid red morocco flowers and twenty-four onlaid beige morocco leaves. The front and back joints of both volumes have been expertly and almost invisibly repaired. Housed in a custom-made felt lined half red morocco with a red felt divider clamshell case two spines paneled and lettered in gilt in compartments. <br /> <br /> A wonderful early Sangorski & Sutcliffe Cosway-style binding. The miniature is of exceptional quality and is quite possibly the work of Miss C.B. Currie. The J. L. Hudson Company commonly known simply as Hudson's was a retail department store chain based in Detroit Michigan. Hudson's flagship store on Woodward Avenue in Downtown Detroit was constructed beginning in 1911 with additions throughout the years before being 'completed' in 1946. The building was named after the company's founder Joseph Lowthian Hudson and was demolished on October 24 1998. In 1961 it was the tallest department store in the world and at one time claimed to be the second-largest department store after Macy's in the United States by square footage. The Grand River Avenue Book Shop was on the Mezzanine floor.<br /> <br /> The story of the Sangorski & Sutcliffe Bindery reads like something out of a novel-when two of Douglas Cockrell's talented apprentices Frances Sangorski and George Sutcliffe were laid off during an economic downturn they began working out of an attic. Eventually their bindery would be famous for its intricate multicolored leather inlays and elaborate gold and jeweled bindings. Although named after the English miniaturist Richard Cosway 1742-1821 the desirable "Cosway Binding" with its jewel-like portrait miniature set into a fine binding was first developed at the turn of the century by J.H. Stonehouse director of London's Henry Sotheran Booksellers. Their miniatures were painstakingly crafted by the talented painter Miss C. B. Currie 1849-1940. As the style grew in popularity other publishing houses quickly began to reproduce this technique-each developing their own desirable take on the aesthetic-referred to as "Cosway style.". Fine.

Buxton Forman and III The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley published in 1927 and edited by Thomas Hutchinson.Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792-1822 and John Keats 1795-1821 were both poets during the Romantic period characterised by sensitivity connection to nature and emotion. Shelley was a radical poet and identified heavily with leftist politics and ideals; he was also married to Mary Shelley known for her gothic literature Frankenstein in particular. John Keats's poetry evoked heavy themes of nature and he often used natural imagery and extreme emotion in his works. Tragically both Shelley and Keats died young Shelley during a shipwreck at age thirty and Keats of tuberculosis at only age twenty-five. Robert Bridges 1844-1930 was an English poet during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and his works evoked strong Christian themes and he is responsible for many well-known hymns.
