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

First Edition with these Illustrations. 214 x 136 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". 2 p.l. iv 280 pp. without "Héro et Léandre" as usual.Translated by Julien Jacques Moutonnet de Clairfons. <br/> LOVELY RED MOROCCO GILT BY CHAMBOLLE-DURU stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with French fillet border raised bands spine gilt in compartments with rose sprig at center curling floral cornerpieces gilt titling densely gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Engraved frontispiece and 25 charming and delicate engraved illustrations by Jean Massard after Charles Eisen. Cohen-de Ricci 79; Brunet I 254; Graesse I 113. For the binding: Flety 40. ◆Lower half-inch of joints just starting to show wear three minor stains and one short scratch to upper board but a fine and pretty copy the text fresh and smooth with deep impressions of the type with rich impressions of the engravings with ample margins and with a lustrous binding.<br/> <br/> This is a very attractive copy of the first printing of an anthology of French versions of classical poetry described by Cohen-de Ricci as "one of the most elegantly illustrated books of the 18th century." Charles Eisen 1720-78 was Louis XV's court painter as well as drawing master to Madame de Pompadour. Bryan says that "almost all the important books published in France in his time contain his exquisite plates" which "he engraved with a light point and with striking originality." He "took his inspirations direct from nature but added something of the ideal after the manner of Watteau and Boucher." The text contains biographies of and works by four important Greek poets: Anacreon sixth century B.C. Sappho b. ca. 612 B.C. Bion third century B.C. and Moschus second century B.C. The binding here is a perfect example of the kind of handsomely done French classical work produced for an extended period under the name of Chambolle. A rough contemporary of and certainly the equal in technique to binders like Trautz Marius Michel père Lortic and Cuzin the elder Chambolle served his apprenticeship under Hippolyte Duru and later formed a partnership with him as is clear from the stamped signature on our volume. Chambolle's son continued the business when his father retired in 1898 and in her "Modern Bookbindings" Sarah Prideaux says of her contemporary "Chambolle most worthily continues the traditions associated with the name of his father. . . . To him are confided the classics of former times which he clothes in the styles appropriate to them keeping to a simplicity of ornamentation which reveals great taste and feeling for composition.".

Brooks 287; Dibdin I 265; Schweiger 25; Brunet I 252; Graesse I 111. ◆Spine probably a bit sunned though difficult to tell with so much gilt four tiny wormholes to joints extremities with a hint of rubbing but the binding solid lustrous and attractive; A SPECTACULAR COPY INTERNALLY entirely clean fresh and bright and with enormous margins.<br/> <br/> This is a superb copy of the luxury paper Bodoni printing of the works of the sixth century B.C. lyric poet Anacreon. Imbued with delicacy and grace these works come down to us only in fragments quoted by other authors or in the derived form of imitators and they did not find their way into print until after the middle of the 16th century. Produced by Giambattista Bodoni 1740-1813 the most celebrated European printer of his era this remarkable piece of work is called "magnificent" by Brooks and Dibdin says that a "more elegant and exquisitely finished production . . . cannot be conceived." The appearance of the page printed only with capitals and offered here in a copy with vast margins is simply as stately and powerful as one could ever hope for. Bodoni was not only a great printer but also the most important type designer and punchcutter in Italy during his day. He was responsible for some of the most graceful and immaculate books to be printed during the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century and the present item is certainly to be counted among his most beautiful productions. The present copy has a distinguished provenance. Charles C. Kalbfleisch was a discriminating American collector whose library featured a great many beautiful bindings and who was known for choosing only the finest copies available. Parke-Bernet sold much of his collection in January of 1944 in a sale entitled "The Arts of the Book . . . The Splendid Library Formed by the Late Charles C. Kalbfleisch New York." Hugh Morriston Davies 1879-1965 was a pioneering surgeon known as "The Doyen of Thoracic Surgery" who collected fine bindings especially those of the 18th century. Charles Whibley 1859-1930 authored important books and wrote popular periodical columns of literary interest edited a number of works in the substantial and distinguished "Tudor Translations" series was at the center of a British literary circle with links to the Symbolist poets of France and made an enormous contribution to literature by recommending T. S. Eliot to Faber & Faber. Ex Regio Typographeio unknown

Engraved title vignette engraved vignette of the arms of Don José Nicolás de Azara by Domenico Cagnoni. Text in Latin and Greek. Printed in capitals on blue paper. In contemporary dark green-brown speckled calfskin ruled in gilt and bordered with a frond and flower tool all edges gilt. Spine in six compartments titled in gilt and gilt stamped with "Greek pavilion" tool. Greek key turn-ins. Pink marbled endleaves. The whole preserved in recent custom slipcase.

References: Brooks 287 "Magnificamente stampato in caratteri maiuscoli"; Giani Catalogo delle autentiche edizioni bodoniane 3 "Certo questa seconda edizione è più attraente della prima."; De Lama II 35 "bella edizione". <br /><br />Much admired edition in a large quarto format of a text Bodoni had printed in octavo the previous year. Intended in part to show off his new Greek capital letters he printed the entire text on tinted paper in caps and small caps in sharp distinction to any prior edition. Bodoni was actively trying to expand his commercial market and his reputation into Spain during this period hence the dedication to Azara a Spanish noble and sometime resident of Parma.
