Also containing the bookplate of David Garrick mounted on card at p. 10; an autograph letter signed from George Smart; an invoice or accounting signed by Eliza Matthews; and five other autographs mounted on heavy stock. Occasional trivial offsetting from inserted plates but A VERY FINE COPY clean and fresh internally in unworn bindings.<br/> <br/> Richly extra-illustrated with depictions of the people places and events discussed in the text this joint biography of brothers James and Horace Smith was simply and tastefully bound by members of the Guild of Women Binders. Although James 1775-1839 was a lawyer and Horace 1779-1849 a successful stockbroker both had literary aspirations and enjoyed being part of theatrical and artistic circles. Their dreams were realized when in 1812 the Drury Lane Theatre offered a £50 prize for an address to be recited on the theater's reopening following repair of fire damage. The Smiths hit on the idea of producing parodies of popular poets with James imitating Wordsworth Southey and Coleridge while Horace took on Byron Moore and Scott. Their humorous publication was an unexpected runaway hit going to seven editions in three months. According to Britannica "'Rejected Addresses' are the most widely popular parodies ever published in England and take classical rank in literature. . . . A striking feature is the absence of malice; none of the poets caricatured took offence while the imitation is so clever that both Byron and Scott are recorded to have said that they could hardly believe they had not written the addresses ascribed to them." In addition to being witty both men were kind and generous friends often helping impecunious artists. Percy Shelley and Horace became friends after competing in a sonnet-writing contest which Shelley won by producing "Ozymandias". Before leaving for Italy the poet entrusted his financial affairs to Horace of whom he said "Is it not odd that the only truly generous person I ever knew who had money enough to be generous with should be a stock-broker He writes poetry and pastoral dramas and yet knows how to make money and does make it and is still generous." The binding here was produced by the Guild of Women Binders established by bookseller Frank Karslake in 1898 to give an organizational identity to a group of women already at work binding books in various parts of Britain often in their own homes. Karslake first became interested in women binders when he visited the Victorian Era Exhibition at Earl's Court in 1897 held to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. He was impressed with a number of bookbindings at the Jubilee exhibit prominent among them being those of Mrs. Annie MacDonald of Edinburgh and he invited the women to exhibit their work in his shop at 61 Charing Cross Road. The Guild was formed soon thereafter and operated until 1904. As Tidcombe notes "because the women were generally unaware of the long history of traditional bookbinding design they produced designs that were freer and less stereotyped than those of men in the trade." Our binding is more restrained that other Guild works but the spine lettering which juxtaposes curves and sharp angles stands out as a distinctive feature. Hurst and Blackett, Limited unknown
1850ST19683London: Edward Moxon 1850. FIRST EDITION. 222 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". x 374 pp. <br/> HANDSOME DARK BLUE MOROCCO GILT BY THE GUILD OF WOMEN BINDERS see below covers with frame of swirling flowering vines raised bands spine panels with similar floral decoration gilt lettering pastedowns framed by multiple gilt rules intersecting into squares at corners all edges gilt. Front pastedown with pencilled inscription attributing the binding to the Guild of Women Binders in the hand of former owner antiquarian bookseller John P. Love; front free endpaper with pencilled bibliographic information; handwritten card from Love's library catalogue laid in at front. Wise p. 35. Spine gently and evenly sunned one opening with two tiny brown marginal dots but A VERY FINE COPY with few signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> This is a lovely copy of one of the great autobiographies in verse offered here in a binding attributed to the Guild of Women Binders by a previous owner with extensive expertise in the field. According to DNB Wordsworth 1770-1850 began his "Prelude" in 1799 while travelling with his sister Dorothy and Samuel Coleridge in Germany using his sister's German exercise notebook to enter poetic accounts of his boyhood. These entries became the first version of his autobiographical testament a work that "is for many his most impressive poem." He completed it in 13 books in 1805 but continued to revise it throughout his lifetime adding a 14th book at the end. It was published poshumously and given its title by his wife. The Guild of Women Binders was established by bookseller Frank Karslake in 1898 to give an organizational identity to a group of women already at work binding books in various parts of Britain often in their own homes. As Tidcombe notes "because the women were generally unaware of the long history of traditional bookbinding design they produced designs that were freer and less stereotyped than those of men in the trade." Our binding is unsigned and is perhaps more conventional that other Guild works but there are elements that would lead an experienced connsoisseur like former owner John P. Love to make a confident attribution. One is the whimsical yet carefully executed spine decoration which carries over the curving floral vines from the covers. Another hint is the very slight variation in the parallel gilt rules indicating a less experienced hand. John Percival Love 1896-1974 joined the staff of the distinguished antiquarian bookseller Francis Edwards founded in 1855. Love served as Chairman of the firm from 1944 until his retirement in 1972. Like many antiquarian booksellers Love was also a collector. He built an impressive collection that was especially rich in incunabula and fine bindings. It is certainly possible that the present volume was once part of the Francis Edwards inventory and was definitively identified at that time as a Guild binding. Edward Moxon unknown
