189724061416London: Elkin Mathews & John Lane Vol's I and II John Lane The Bodley Head Vol's III - XIII 1897. Hardcover. Near fine. Thirteen volumes complete octavo size approx. 4150 pp. Called "the gay nineties" in America and "the naughty nineties" in Britain the decade of the 1890s was in many respects one in which the Victorian morals and societal codes were loosening with many who on both sides of the pond "embraced more freedom fun and social permissiveness" n.b. quote from Wiki. <br /> <br /> Within the worlds of literature and art Oscar Wilde 1854-1900 and Aubrey Beardsley 1872-1898 were extremely influential both with a talent for bringing eroticism into their art and making it - almost - socially acceptable. In addition to their joint collaboration on "Salome" first published in 1892 they launched this periodical "The Yellow Book" with its first issue being April 1894. Beardsley was the first art editor and while Wilde was not a contributor his influence can be felt. <br /> <br /> Ultimately it lasted for only thirteen issues its demise coming about for almost the same reasons as its success. The public initially saw "The Yellow Book" as "something queer and rather alarming.and thus it almost immediately regarded it as symbolic of new movements." However after the trial and conviction of Oscar Wilde the publishers who were from the outset less inclined towards these new ideals than the artists combined with a reaction now negative from the public "the publisher's premises were set upon by a mob who vandalised the building" its final issue was April 1897 n.b. quotes from Wiki. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: All volumes bound in full bright yellow cloth black illustrations and lettering on the fronts black lettering and decorations on the spines the table of contents reproduced on the back covers except the final issue which duplicated the design of the front replete with reproductions of artwork all in black and white with a single exception; bindings octavo size 8 1/8" by 6 1/2" pagination varies between 256 and 406; note that this set does not have the advertisements bound in at the rear. <br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: Overall near fine the boards mostly clean a few volumes with light spots the corners mostly straight a few slightly bumped most without rubbing and a few with minimal rubbing strong square text blocks with solid hinges we noted a few gutters just beginning to crack the interiors clean and bright and the set entirely free of prior owner markings; some light rubbing to the black ink on the bindings on most volumes light toning to some of the endpapers a few volumes with the boards very slightly bowed and some of the spines lightly sunned note that the spine of Vol. VI is significantly lighter in colour. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: Please note that this set will require additional postage please inquire for details.

1808288495London: R. Ackermann 1808. First. hardcover. near fine. Thomas Rowlandson & Augustus Charles Pugin. Beautifully illustrated with 104 brilliantly hand-colored aquatint plates after Thomas Rowlandson and A.C. Pugin Pugin engraved the architectural details & Rowlandson the figures. 3 volumes. Illustrated woodcut titles and engraved dedication page to the Prince of Wales in each volume. 4 iv 2 231; 6 vi 239; 4 iv 280 6 pages. Large 4tos bound in contemporary 3/4 red calf over marbled boards with gilt spines; marbled endpapers; all edges yellow. London: R. Ackermann 1808-1810. <BR><BR>First edition likely bound from the original parts without the half titles as was often the case; the papers are watermarked 1806 & 1807 and containing 11 of Abbey's 12 key plates are in the first "luminescent" state and 12 of the 13 errata points still un-corrected. Offsetting from plates as usual and dedication pages are foxed but otherwise an exceptionally clean and bright copy with very infrequent spotting in margins on a handful of pages.<br/><br/> Rowlandson's first and most famous color-plate book increasingly difficult to obtain in early state as so many copies were broken up to sell the images individually. Ackermann is credited with establishing art lithography in England and this is one of his most interesting and valuable works. "The Microcosm of London is one of the great colour-plate books and a carefully selected copy should form the cornerstone of any collection of books on this subject. The plates present an unrivaled picture of London in the early 19th century of historic value as many of the buildings no longer exist." --Tooley 7. "Original impressions of these splendid plates have a luminous quality entirely absent from later printings". --Abbey Scenery 212.<br/><br/> R. Ackermann unknown books
