183698390London: Scott Webster & Geary 1836. Rare finely bound example of the Memoirs of Napoleon with a fine fore-edge painting of Napoleon on horseback leading his troops to battle. 12mo. bound in full red morocco gilt titles and tooling to the spine gilt vignettes to the front and rear panels gilt turn ins all edges gilt. In near fine condition with light rubbing. The earliest fore-edge paintings date possibly as far back as the 10th century; these earliest paintings were symbolic designs. Early English fore-edge paintings believed to date to the 14th century presented heraldic designs in gold and other colors. The first known example of a disappearing fore-edge painting where the painting is not visible when the book is closed dates from 1649. The earliest signed and dated fore-edge painting dates to 1653: a family coat of arms painted on a 1651 Bible. Around 1750 the subject matter of fore-edge paintings changed from simply decorative or heraldic designs to landscapes portraits and religious scenes usually painted in full color. Modern fore-edge painted scenes have a lot more variation as they can depict numerous subjects not found on earlier specimens. These include scenes that are erotic or they might involve scenes from novels like Jules Verne Sherlock Holmes or Dickens etc. In many cases the chosen scene will depict a subject related to the book but in other cases it did not. In one instance the same New Brunswick landscape was applied to both a Bible and to a collection of poetry and plays. The choice of scenes is made by either the artist bookseller or owner thus the variety is wide. The technique was popularized in the 18th century by John Brindley 1732-1756 publisher and bookbinder to the prince of Wales and Edwards of Halifax a distinguished family of bookbinders and booksellers. The majority of extant examples of fore-edge painting date to the late 19th and early 20th century on reproductions of books originally published in the early 19th century.

Cosway bindings named for renowned 19th-century English miniaturist Richard Cosway were popularized if not invented in the early 1900s by the renowned London bookselling firm of Henry Sotheran. The earliest Cosway bindings were created by Miss C.B. Currie who faithfully imitated Cosway's detailed watercolor style of portraiture from designs by J.H. Stonehouse Sotheran's manager. These delicate miniature paintings often on ivory were set into the covers or doublures of richly-tooled bindings and protected by a thin pane of glass. Printed for James Ridgway unknown books
