Provenance: unidentified monogram on binding; Major John Roland Abbey 1894-1969 bookplate on case; see Hayward Silver Bindings no. 17; Bernard Breslauer anonymous sale Sotheby’s 10 May 1985 “Silver and Enamel Bindings†lot 26 unsold.<br /> <br /> A stunning embossed silver-gilt binding almost certainly produced in Augsburg from the collection of Major Abbey. <br /> <br /> The binding dates from the “last phase of baroque and the fully developed rococo†Hayward the final culminating period of Augsburg craftsmanship in embossed silver. Describing this binding and two others from the collection Hayward wrote: “the most finely worked book-covers in the Abbey Collection date from the second quarter of the Eighteenth Century. The subjects are the familiar scenes from the life of Christ but treated even in the small compass of a book-cover with extraordinary dramatic force. The designs were probably derived from a contemporary illustrated Bible but their effectiveness is greatly enhanced by the relief in which they are rendered and by the strong contrasts of light and shade†p. 3. To accentuate the pathos the silversmith or designer chose to highlight minor characters: in the dramatic Crucifixion scene the most deeply embossed figures occupying the foreground are two soldiers throwing dice at the foot of the cross; similarly the centurion is the largest and most solid figure in the Resurrection scene on the lower cover.<br /> <br /> The binding encloses an album of 143 fine small unsigned 17th-century probably Flemish engravings of Franciscan saints neatly mounted on wove paper. The Antwerp engraver and print publisher Philips Galle had initiated the vogue for “Franciscan†prints with his series of engravings of the Life of St. Francis first produced before 1580 cf. Sellink pp. 129-131. The present suite contains 13 series each with 11 small engravings depicting a saint or group of saints as follows: St. Francis The 5 Martyred Saints the 7 Martyred Saints Anthony of Padua Bonaventura Ludovicus Episcopius Bernardino of Siena John of Capestrano Didacus Diego of Alcalá Clare of Assisi Elizabeth of Hungary S. Elizabeth vidua Louis of France and Elzear. With one exception John of Capestrano instead of St. Ivo of Brittany these were the saints chosen by Hendrik Sedulius guardian of the Antwerp Franciscans for his Imagines Sanctorum Francisci printed and illustrated by Philips Galle in 1602 but that quarto-format work only includes one large engraving per saint each accompanied by a page of text. The exact source of this more extensive small format suite remains to be identified. Each engraving has a caption citing a chapter number. <br /> <br /> Major John Roland Abbey assembled the largest English book collection of his generation. His first love was bindings and among these he brought together an exceptional group of silver bindings some of which were described and illustrated by John F. Hayward in an article published in The Connoisseur in 1952. The present binding is number 17; Hayward noted its earlier regilding as well as the “fine quality†of the embossing. Bernard Breslauer later bought the collection en bloc from Abbey’s widow “and in 1985 Bernard consigned the collection with some additions from his own stock to Sotheby’s London. Despite Sotheby’s well-illustrated and informative catalogue the sale was calamitous: of the fifty-eight silver and enamel bindings only fourteen met the reserve†Laird p. 67. This binding was not one of them. <br /> <br /> Cf. M. S. Sellink Philips Galle 1537-1612: engraver and print publisher in Haarlem and Antwerp PhD ThesisVrije Universiteit Amsterdam 1997 online. J.

Abbey "Life" 372; Tooley 336; Cohn "Cruikshank" 556. ◆Joints edges and corners with visible but not serious wear one plate with neatly repaired marginal tear just touching edge of image occasional mild foxing additional trivial imperfections otherwise fine--clean and fresh internally with richly colored plates in a lustrous binding bright with gilt.<br/> <br/> This is a very attractively illustrated celebration of Wellington's victorious campaign against Napoleon offered here in a special copy enhanced by additional plates many depicting principal actors in the conflict and a stately Neoclassical binding. Famed illustrator George Cruikshank drew the frontispiece depicting the seven general officers for the British side along with the ebullient illustrated title depicting victory the double-page plate of the fateful Battle of Waterloo and the ignominious "Flight of Bonaparte." The plates contributed by James Rouse mostly depict the countryside and villages in the area where fighting was taking place. Journalist and novelist William Mudford 1782-1848 wrote the text with assistance from primary sources among these the Duke of Wellington himself to whom the work is dedicated. Mudford was the editor of the "Courier" an evening journal with a conservative stance on politics. His prose is described as "vigorous" by the "Dictionary of Literary Biography" which also notes his flair for creating atmosphere. These gifts were brought to bear on the present account rendering this historic campaign in vivid terms. The manuscript letter inserted into the second volume was written by Lord Charles Whitworth 1752-1825 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at the time of writing. He had been the British Ambassador to France when Napoleon was first consul and had gained much respect for the determination and dignity with which he had handled the mercurial Bonaparte's tirades against his country. Here he recommends to an unknown recipient the person who had conducted financial affairs for him in France. The present bindings are the work of the London bindery of W. T. Morrell established about 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford who in turn had taken over the famous bindery of Charles Lewis. Prideaux in her "Modern Bookbindings" says that Morrell at that time had a very large business that supplied "all the booksellers with bindings designed by his men" which were "remarkable for their variety and merit." The scion of an old and prosperous New England family former owner Frederick Stanhope Peck 1868-1947 was an avid collector of books and manuscripts amassing a collection of more than 8000 titles. When his library went to auction in 1944 it was noted for its fine bindings and excellent condition. Henry Colburn unknown
