1844ST18420aFirenze Florence: David Passigli 1844. 85 x 53 mm. 3 3/8 x 2 1/8". 3 p.l. 326 2 section title 327-659 pp. Contemporary stiff vellum charmingly gilt covers with graceful gilt frame of volutes and flowers central ornament formed by similar tools smooth spine tooled with gilt volutes and flowers forming central panel with gilt lettering a small gilt bird of paradise above and below this marbled endpapers all edges gilt. WITH SPLIT FORE-EDGE PAINTINGS visible when the book is open at the section title for part II the painting on the first half of the leaves A SWEEPING CITY VIEW OF JERUSALEM that on the second part featuring THE DOME OF THE ROCK ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT. With engraved frontispiece portrait of the author and two engravings depicting scenes from the poem all with original tissue guards. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of William Dunville see below. Doris Varner Welsh A Bibliography of Miniature Books 6611. Corners lightly bumped one spot of light rubbing to gilt on upper cover isolated spots of faint foxing but A VERY FINE SPECIMEN clean and bright inside and out the fore-edge paintings well preserved. This delightful miniature edition is adorned with two fore-edge paintings showing different views of the title city both visible when the book is open to the title page of part II of Tasso's Crusader epic "Jerusalem Delivered." Given the restricted area available for a "canvas" our artist has done a remarkable job both in the level of detail and the sense of space and grandeur the scenes evoke so it is not surprising that this volume was in the Irene Winterstein Collection of Important Miniature Books Christie's sale of 10 March 2000 lot 277 fetching $1455 all in. This is a rare miniature edition: Welsh records only one copy in her bibliography. Our copy belonged to Irish bibliophile and philanthropist William Dunville 1812-1874 who was also a whiskey magnate and magistrate. After its first founder John Dunville died William Dunville his only surviving son became the next chairman of Dunville & Co Belfast who are still famous for their whiskey today. He headed the company from 1851 to 1874. David Passigli unknown

1823ABC_48016Amsterdam: M. Westerman 1823. In the original pink and green cardboard case with glass lid green printed paper wrappers with cream paper dust jackets with the titles in manuscript on the front. Ca 7.7 x 6.5 cm. With 31 engraved plates and 5 engraved maps including a folding world map. 10 volumes. Comprising:1 De aardrijkskunde.2 De gewijde geschiedenis.3 Vaderlandsche geschiedenis.4 Natuurlijke geschiedenis der viervoetige dieren.5 De natuurlijke geschiedenis der vogelen.6 Natuurlijke geschiedenis der insekten kruipende dieren en visschen.7 De kruidkunde.8 Zedelijke verhalen.9 Arabische vertellingen.10 De mythologie. Complete set of the first edition of a charming miniature library preserved in the original box. This educational set for children contains works on geography Dutch history classical mythology natural history and the Bible with all the plates and maps included. A French edition was published in the same year but replaced the volume on Dutch history with a work on French history. Due to the charm of this miniature library a facsimile edition was published in 1984. The present set however is the first edition which is rare on the market and only available in a few libraries.Many miniature books were primarily written for children. As was usually the case with children's books published before the 20th century miniature books were typically instructional or educational in nature. Although they have existed since at least the early 17th century they were only specifically marketed towards children from the mid-18th century onwards. Children's books from the end of the 18th century were often influenced by the theories of Jean Jacques Rousseau 1712-1778 who thought that children should learn through play and at their own pace. According to Welsh the present works show Rousseau's ideas because they present the information through short stories.The edges and corners of the box are somewhat scuffed and the gold trimming on the lid has come loose in some spots with some loss of material. The paper wrappers of some of the volumes show some signs of wear. A few pages loose in ads 5 8 and 9 but they are still included. Otherwise in very good condition.l Saalmink p. 211; Welsh A bibliography of miniature books 1247; cf. Bondy p. 75 French ed.; Welsh The history of miniature books p. 74 2nd ed. M. Westerman, unknown

A COLLECTION OF NINE DIAMOND CLASSICS BY CATULLUS CICERO DANTE HOMER HORACE PETRARCH TASSO TERENCE and VIRGIL

1821ST16814London: William Pickering 1821-31. 85 x 45 mm. 3 1/2 x 1 7/8". 12 volumes. VERY PLEASING CRIMSON MOROCCO ATTRACTIVELY GILT BY CAPÉ stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper covers with central gilt fleuron enclosed by blind-ruled frame with oblique gilt floral tools at corners raised bands spine panels with gilt bellflower tool gilt titling turn-ins densely gilt with multiple decorative rolls marbled endpapers all edges gilt. One volume recently placed in a remarkably faithful replica binding. Engraved frontispiece in all but three volumes the second volumes of Dante Tasso and Homer. Virgil with errata slip bound in between pp. 282-83. Keynes 45 47 51 61 72 79 80 81; Bondy pp. 86-90; Spielman 83 93 113 198 205A 407 473 476 502. Isolated tiny rust spots or faint foxing but A SPLENDID SET with no signs of use the text clean fresh and bright the bindings lustrous and unworn. This is an exceptionally fine rarely seen complete collection of Pickering's famed miniature Diamond Classics series elegantly bound in red morocco by Capé. William Pickering began his career as a bookseller before turning to publishing in the late 1810s. In 1820 he issued the first in the popular series of "Diamond Classics" miniature books set in tiny 4-1/2 point "diamond" types. Bondy who set aside his arbitrary three-inch limit on size in order to include these books says "Due to the great editorial care and the superb printing and binding which went into their manufacture combined with the importance of their contents these little volumes are now very eagerly collected by minibibliophiles and even more generally by lovers of finely produced books." A number of collectors had their volumes rebound by leading artisans like Charles-François Capé 1806-67 one of the most distinguished binders in France in the middle years of the 19th century and especially well known for the delicacy of his work. He was the binder to the Empress Eugénie and Béraldi calls him "the Bozérian of the second Empire." The present set includes the Pickering Catullus 1824 Cicero 1821 Dante two volumes 1822 Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey" two volumes 1831 Horace second printing 1826 Petrarch 1822 Tasso two volumes 1822 Terence 1822 and Virgil 1821. Spielmann singles out the Homer for special praise noting that with its "clear easily legible type" printed by Charles Whittingham it is "one of the best-printed Greek miniature books ever produced." And the Virgil is especially rare: Spielmann and Sheringham aver that all but 100 copies were destroyed by a fire at the offices of printer C. Corrall. The condition here is simply outstanding.
