ONE OF 40 COPIES PRINTED. 235 x 142 mm. 9 1/4 x 5 3/4". iii-xi 1 308 pp. lacking the first of the two title pages at front. <br/> In a very nice replica binding of honey-brown sheepskin over marbled boards raised bands ruled in gilt gilt titling. Front free endpaper INSCRIBED IN INK BY CURRER: With Miss Currer's Compliments"; small ownership perforation of the Bradford Free Library on title page and p. 99; two small ink stamps on p. 59 and 99. Front free endpaper with thinned area where indication of earlier ownership likely appeared. The boards just very lightly scuffed though probably to provide a feeling of authenticity otherwise only trivial imperfections. Apart from the signs of library ownership a very fine copy the text showing virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a presentation copy of the first library catalogue of Frances Mary Richardson Currer an Englishwoman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library . . . in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall in North Yorkshire was surpassed only by three collections those of Earl Spencer and the dukes of Devonshire and Buckingham. According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." With just 40 copies printed this first printing there was a 1933 second edition is very rarely seen on the market. Robert Triphook unknown

Extremities a bit rubbed boards lightly chafed occasional minor marginal stains or light patches of foxing but a pleasing copy generally clean and fresh in sturdy original bindings with no significant condition issues.<br/> <br/> This novel of the British navy during the Jacobite Rebellion comes from the library of a woman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Frances Mary Richardson Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library and also possessing a fine collection of prints shells and fossils in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall was "surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer the duke of Devonshire and the duke of Buckingham." According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." Although best known for his Leatherstocking Tales set on the early American frontier James Fenimore Cooper 1789-1851 had originally intended a career in the navy and spent several years at sea before an inheritance from his father allowed him to pursue a literary career. Deemed by Day "an excellent naval novel" the text here is a poignant tale of conflicting loyalties and the importance of friendship seen through the eyes of the titular "Two Admirals" lifelong friends supporting opposing political forces in the contest over the Stuart succession to throne of Britain.

187932820588This magnificent imposing album was made by a prominent late-Victorian hostess patron of the arts and gifted artist.<br />Folio. Approx. 225 pages heavy card. Brown morocco gilt-stamped "H.R.H." metal lock and corner-pieces gilt edges rubbed at joints. Excellent condition.<br /><br />Helen Rose Huth was the wife of the banker Louis Huth. The Huths were major art collectors who displayed their art in the gallery built for the purpose at their home Possingworth. Helen sat for both George Frederic Watts and James Abbott McNeill Whistler who painted the celebrated Arrangement in Black No. 2: Portrait of Mrs Louis Huth. Whister required many sittings and when she complained that Watts never treated her that way Whistler replied "And still you know you come to me!" After Louis Huth's death in 1905 she married Archibald Howe.<br /><br />The album the product of vast labor contains 50 watercolors all but four by Mrs. Huth comprising studies of flowers landscapes and other scenes in Possingworth East Sussex and Scalpay and other Hebridean locations; 70 photographs of buildings landscapes people and paintings; and six pen-and-ink or pencil sketches. Many of the watercolors bear signatures dates and places. The album is filled with elegant calligraphic transcriptions of poems and prose pieces by Victorian writers the Brownings being particular favorites often with pen-and-ink floral borders. A number of the unsigned poems appear to be by Helen Rose Huth herself.<br /><br />The earliest watercolor in the album is dated 1879 and work continued until at least 1905. In that year Louis Huth died. A photograph of his tombstone is displayed opposite a portrait of the banker. A fine seated studio portrait of Helen Rose Huth dated 1895 appears early in the volume. The photographs are often connected to the subjects of the poems they accompany.<br /><br />Provenance: Helen Rose Huth 1837-1924. The Huths' fine country house Possingworth Park completed in 1866 "was a highly ornate neo-Gothic mansion … The house contained 42 bedrooms large oak panelled reception rooms and a conservatory named the Winter Garden. There was also a large picture gallery. Louis Huth was a passionate art collector and his house was designed to display artwork at its best. A large picture gallery on the ground floor was designed specifically to exhibit his most treasured artworks. … Possingworth was also the venue of a secret meeting between Major Generals Montgomery and Eisenhower in 1942. There they laid plans for the cross-channel invasion that was to take place two years later" Holy Cross Priory website. The house is now Holy Cross Priory. <br /> hardcover
