182521857London: William Pickering; Oxford: Talboys & Wheeler 1825. 5 volumes 8vo engraved frontispiece portrait vignette "wreath" title-pp. see Keynes p. 16; orig. red glazed cloth paper labels on spines; spines faded to brown spine ends chipped and cracked otherwise a very good sound set in an early publisher's cloth binding. It was Pickering who introduced cloth to the world of bookbinding probably in 1820. "After this beginning Pickering followed the practice throughout his publishing career. He was afterwards imitated by other publishers but the smooth red magenta puce or dark blue cloth used by Pickering remained for many years the distinguishing mark of his books . The use of cloth as a publisher's binding made little difference to the cost of the books and was a considerable economy from the buyer's point of view since the book could be used without the necessity for rebinding . The innovation thus quietly made by Pickering in 1820 has had its effect on the whole subsequent history of the publishing trade" Keynes p. 14.

It follows in every case the first editions.The decorations have been designed and engraved on wood by Hilda Quick those in The Shepheardes Calender being based on the cuts in the original editions. The initial letters and the letterings for the title- page and headings have been engraved by her from designs by Joscelyne Gaskin.The eight volumes of Spenser 1930 are equally good—different as the character of the author is but in merita nothing to choose between them. Perhaps the small devices below Spenser's sonnets printed in black and in the vellum copies beautifully laid with gold are the most discreet and opulent form of decoration fitting and in flawless taste" Franklin.<br/><br/>Franklin 150 236.
