In-16 gr. (mm. 183x112), affascinante legatura in p. marocchino blu, sottili cornici dorate e decorazioni di foglie ai quattro angoli con, al centro del piatto anteriore, due comici personaggi intarsiati a colori (bianco rosso verde e argento) e la scritta “If I can wheedle a knife or needle why not a silver churn?” e a quello posteriore un giullare a colori ocra e verde con in mano una pillola dorata e la frase “For he who’d make his fellow-creatures wise should always gild the philosophic pill!” - firmata “Bound by Riviere & Son“ al risguardo con preziosa dentelle dorata, tagli pure in oro, in astuccio. Il volume, di pp. (6),698, raccoglie il gruppo completo di tredici operette scritte da Gilbert & Sullivan e così chiamate perchè venivano messe in scena al Savoy Theatre di Londra. La Legatoria Riviere fu una delle più importanti del West End londinese dove operò fra il 1840 e il 1939. Le loro superbe legature erano molto apprezzate dai bibliofili per la qualità e l’attenzione al dettaglio e ricevettero commissioni anche dalla Regina Vittoria e dalla famiglia reale. La dicitura “Riviere & Son” apparve a partire dal 1880 quando Robert Rivière passò la sua attività al genero Percival Calkin. Esemplare in perfetto stato.
