Spines lightly and attractively mellowed. A fine well-preserved set.<br /> <br /> First published in 1791 Boswell's Life of Johnson remains one of the greatest biographies in the English language - remarkable for its immediacy anecdotal richness and the vivid reconstruction of the personality of Samuel Johnson. Boswell's method - built on diaries conversations and firsthand observation - effectively created the modern art of literary biography.<br /> <br /> The 1907 Ingpen edition is among the more desirable early 20th-century scholarly printings offering a carefully edited text enriched with notes and a generous illustrative program including photogravures that lend the work a distinctly Edwardian bibliophilic appeal.<br /> <br /> The present set is elevated considerably by its later binding by Bayntun-Rivière of Bath one of the most respected English binderies of the 20th century known for combining traditional craftsmanship with restrained elegance - an ideal treatment for a canonical literary text.
