Title printed with engraved border of muses and signed by engravers H. Catenacci - Hercules Louis Catenacci 18161884 and A. F. Lemaitre - Augustin Francois Lemaitre 17971870. 54 photolithograph plates of Girodets compositions illustrating the odes with fine classical figures and settings. Greek text with French prose translation for 64 odes by Ambrose Firmin-Didot. Text printed within red ruled borders with headings printed in red. Finely bound in a French 19th-century crimson morocco covers gilt with central ornament spine with five raised bands lettered in gilt: ODES DANACREON / F. DIDOT 1864 inner gilt dentelles marbled endpapers edges gilt custom cloth case; only slightest wave to a few leaves otherwise a very good and attractive copy. Front pastedown with the typographic bookplate of Robert Percy Alden an American Gilded Age lawyer and collector hailing from Pennsylvania who died in 1909. <br/><br/>Fine French edition of the Odes of Anacreon edited and produced by Ambroise Firmin-Didot 17901876 reusing the illustrations in a reduced scale by the French artist Girodet Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson 17671824. Girodets graceful neoclassic designs were executed in the revived Second Empire style and engraved by his pupil Henri-Guillaume Chatillon 17801856. J. B. de Saint-Victor originally commissioned the Girodet illustrations in 1808 but only two complete designs were published with his translation in 1810. Girodet continued to work on the illustrations privately as well as his own translation of the ancient Greek Odes until his death in 1824. Ambroise Firmin-Didot was an accomplished classicist editor and man of letters within the established line of Didot printers in Paris. This production is an outstanding example of one of the finely printed classics issuing from the renowned Didot press. It maintains the distinctive Didot typographic layout and refined use of red and black inks. The introductory text of a later English edition of the Odes 1869 by Thomas Moore notes that the Firmin-Didot edition was sold at the almost prohibitive price of two pounds. Wonderful copy most likely bound for Robert Percy Aldens American villa-library in the late 19th century. Alden spent several of his Yale post-graduate years in Europe and was married in Paris in 1878 when he likely procured this book. Ambroise Firmin-Didot hardcover

181231246AB1812. The Eleventh Edition. London Printed for James Carpenter 1812. Duodecimo. XXIV 172 pages. Hardcover / Beautiful decorative leather with gilt lettering and ornament on spine and boards. The little Volume now in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. The binding tight and intact. Minor signs of foxing. Poetry Foundation: "Living up to the title Anacreon Moore strained the budget of the promising young poet but rather than accept an Irish laureateship created for him by Atkinson and Moira Moore published his juvenile poems as Poetical Works of the Late Thomas Little Esq. 1801 assuming a pseudonym appropriate to his short stature. The proceeds barely met his debt but the collection of love poems further enhanced his reputation as a ladies man. Although these light lyrics seem remarkably chaste to modern readers the kisses and embraces they celebrate suggested much to 19th-century readers. As in Moores later poetry the visual sense is starved in these lyrics but they provide well for the emotional dimension. Moore later regretted publishing these poems; at the time he was as grateful for the publishers remuneration as for the advance of his poetic reputation." hardcover

176826070London:: J. Ridley. Full leather binding. 12mo xxxii 287pp.contemporary errata page. Full leather with raised bands to spine. Gilt titles to red spine label. Gilt dentelles. Two armourial bookplates: firstly that of Robert Shafto d.1780 of Benwell in Northumberland and secondly that of his son-in-law William Adair. Robert Shafto was a distant cousin of the Robert Shafto MP 1732-1797 of whom the folk song ' Bobby Shafto' is believed to refer. However some sources Thomas & George Allan in Tyneside Songs and Readings 1891 believe Robert Shafto 1760–1781 of Benwell was the inspiration - he was the son of the owner of this book. Either way the Shafto family with their strong Northumberland and Co. Durham connections make this volume of particular interest to those with interest in NE England. Most of the prelim is taken up with The Classic poem. The text is in English. Front hinge split and held only by one cord rear hinge tender. Though the binding is rather fragile the gatherings remain tightly bound and square. Pages show some age toning to the very edges more so towards the beginning and end of the text block. Starting to crack vertically down the middle of the spine. Prelims are unevenly tanned. Rubbed to edges with the tips of the board showing to two corners. Some slight scuffing to the surface of the leather. Fair copy . Hardback. 1768. J. Ridley hardcover

Referenced by: Gaskell 181 - The Foulis Press ; ESTC T085607 "Anacreon 582 BCE�485 BCE was a Greek lyric poet born in Teos an Ionian city on the coast of Asia Minor. He likely moved to Thrace in 545 BCE with others from his city when it was attacked by Persians. He then moved to Samos to Athens and possibly again to Thessaly seeking a safe place to write his poems as his patrons including Polycrates tyrant of Samos and Hipparchus brother of Athenian tyrant Hippias kept being murdered. It is unknown where Anacreon died though he lived to the unusually advanced age of 85. Glasguae [ Glasgow ] : Excudebant R. & A. Foulis, M.DCC.LI. [1751] . hardcover

18133644London: B.R. Howlette / John Murray 1813. Second edition. Good. 8vo. 2 130 pp. Printed in Greek throughout on fine paper. Contemporary English red diced russia calf rubbed and worn tooled in blind outer frame of gilt palmette rolls all edges gilt drab endpapers. Front endpaper waterstained; second blank leaf with paper flaw; outer margins of final pages darkened from turn-ins. With faults and priced accordingly. THE ONLY KNOWN ILLUSTRATIONS BY MRS. LAVINIA FORSTER. Our copy bears learned MS annotations in Greek and Latin. <br /> <br /> Beautifully printed in a Greek font created especially for William Bulmer by William Martin. Dibdin described the 1802 first edition as an "elegant work that confers great credit on the printer." Our copy belongs to the second edition which was printed in the same Greek font and retains the 20 fine engraved head- and tailpiece vignettes designed by Lavinia Banks Forster 1774-1858 wife of the present editor Edward Foster. Two of the vignettes are signed in absolutely miniscule lettering "Publ. by W. Miller Old Bond Street 1802." <br /> <br /> Mrs. Lavinia Banks Forster was the only child of the sculptor Thomas Banks and his wife Elizabeth. She married the Reverend Edward Forster in 1799 and from 1815 lived in Paris with her husband who was at that time Chaplain to the British Embassy. There they provided a social center for artists. Her lively and fully accomplished illustrations for her husband's Anacreon represent the only published examples by her that we have been able to trace. <br /> <br /> "Few of Anacreon's works survive but those that do focus on wine love homosexual and heterosexual and the overall pleasures of the legendary Roman symposium. Anacreon used various techniques in his writings including self-deprecation and irony. The collection of miscellaneous Greek poems from the Hellenistic Age and beyond known as the Anacreontea was 'mistakenly labeled' with Anacreon's name" see William and Mary Law Library online exhibit. <br /> <br /> The annotator of our copy was one George Houstoun on title: "Ex libris Georgii Houstoun." Given the lavishness of the binding and the fact that the book itself was printed on fine paper perhaps this individual was George Houstoun 1743-1815 4th Laird of Johnstone Renfrew Scotland. Subsequently signed in pencil inside the lower cover: "R. Bradford." <br /> <br /> Dibdin Greek and Latin Classics vol. I pp. 266-267 1802 edition. See DNB under Edward Forster. B.R.
