Limp vellum binding with four green ties; gilt lettering on spine and upper cover t.e.g. Very faint spotting to front free endpaper slight offsetting of ties. Otherwise a pristine copy. Provenance: William Russell Flint from the family by descent. Beinecke Stevenson 79; Ransom 278:6; Tomkinson 85:6; Prideaux 13. A splendid edition of Stevenson's first collection of essays which promote a spirit of playfulness in defiance of both the hardships of human life and the restrictions imposed by bourgeois callowness. The volume brought together essays that had been previously published in the Cornhill Magazine and Macmillan's: "Virginibus Puerisque i" 1876; " ii" 1881; "iii: On Falling in Love" 1877; "iv: The Truth of Intercourse" 1879; "Crabbed Age and Youth" 1878; "An Apology for Idlers" 1877; "Ordered South" 1874; "Aes Triplex" 1878; "El Dorado" 1878; "The English Admirals" 1878; "Some Portraits by Raeburn" previously unpublished; "Child's Play" 1878; "Walking Tours" 1876; "Pan's Pipes" 1878; "A Plea for Gas Lamps" 1878 The essays inspired Norman WILKINSON 1878 - 1971 to create the 12 striking and lyrical images that accompany the texts. Wilkinson was a British artist renowned for his poster work and honored by the British Admiralty for coming up with the idea and design for "dazzle camouflage" to protect Royal Navy ships from attacks by German submarines. Founded in 1908 by the London publishers Chatto & Windus and operated by Philip Lee Warner THE FLORENCE PRESS had as its mission to produce "beautiful books in the choicest types" but in somewhat larger and less costly editions than Kelmscott and the other more celebrated English fine presses. Florence books are readily distinguishable by their special type designed by Herbert P. Horne after 15th century Italian faces that are elegant simple and easily readable. Tomkinson p. 84 This volume comes from the collection of Sir William Russell Flint 1880 - 1969 a Scottish artist illustrator and author who was linked to the Pre-Raphaelites and art nouveau designers. He enjoyed much commercial success during his career was on staff for years at 'The Illustrated London News' was commissioned to illustrate many books and the librettos of several Gilbert and Sullivan librettos. He served as president of both The Royal Society of Painters Etchers and Engravers and the Royal Watercolour Society and was knighted in 1946. Chatto & Windus for the Florence Press unknown

AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF FROM A BOOK OF HOURS IN LATIN, WITH UNUSUAL HISTORIATED INITIALS FEATURING THE WOUNDS OF CBiblio.com

TEXT FROM HYMNS TO THE PASSION OF CHRIST

1465ST17243aBruges ca. 1465. 193 x 145 mm. 7 5/8 x 5 3/4". Single column 21 lines in a gothic book hand. Rubrics in red WITH THREE LARGE HISTORIATED INITIALS: ONE WITH A PORTRAIT OF CHRIST WEARING THE CROWN OF THORNS AND TWO WITH DISEMBODIED HANDS SHOWING THE STIGMATA each initial in pink or blue with white tracery filled with dark pink or blue with thin gilt lines and dots hands with wavy blue rays radiating from behind the appendage all within a thin gilt frame both sides with a three-quarter border consisting of hairline vines gold bezants and a few colorful flowers. ◆Margins with a little light soiling BUT IN FINE CONDITION THE PAINT OF THE INITIALS ESPECIALLY RICH AND WELL PRESERVED. From a manuscript probably produced in Bruges for the English market this leaf contains arresting initials that direct the viewer's attention to the wounds endured by Christ during the Passion. According to Roger Wieck Passion Cycle images enjoyed a particular vogue in 15th century Dutch Flemish and English Books of Hours including those that were exported to England. In the present example the strikingly unusual imagery includes a portrait of Christ wearing the Crown of Thorns his gaze fixed directly at the viewer and in separate initials his left and right hands appear disembodied and displaying the stigmata. A sister leaf to the present item features three additional initials showing the wounds of the left and right foot as well as the spear injury to Christ's side depicted as an oval piece of flesh with a laceration across the center. The parent manuscript containing the present leaf sold at Christie's on 15 November 2006 lot 16 the description for which gives us additional information about the book's contents and provenance: it was made for the Use of Sarum included a calendar with the English saint Thomas Becket and Popes Gregory and Silvester with their names crossed out indicating that it was in England through at least the time of the Reformation and contained an early ownership inscription of a woman named Bridget Lowe with a Middle English inscription on the pastedown. Christie's also attributed the parent manuscript to the workshop of William Vrelant with miniatures possibly by his chief assistant the Master of the "Vraie Cronique Descoce." They note that this work is "of higher quality than many of the works that satisfied the English demand for Netherlandish illumination" and that it "demonstrates why Vrelant appealed to the great bibliophiles of the Burgundian Netherlands." Vrelant was the leading purveyor of books of private devotion in Bruges during the third quarter of the 15th century and his prominent position among Flemish illuminators of the time is indicated by the considerable number of manuscripts illustrated in his manner by other miniaturists both in Bruges and in nearby cities in Flanders. Similar examples to the present leaf can be found in intact Books of Hours at the Philadelphia Free Library MS Widener 3 and the Huntington HM 1086--both of which were produced in Flanders or the Netherlands around the same time as the present work--but the present leaf surpasses both of these examples in terms of excellence of the artistic hand and level of detail depicted. unknown

AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF WITH A MINIATURE OF THE HOLY TRINITY, FROM A BOOK OF HOURS IN FRENCH AND LATINBiblio.com

TEXT FROM A PRAYER TO THE TRINITY IN FRENCH

1460ST12839Paris ca. 1460. 153 x 110 mm. 6 x 4 3/8". Single column 14 lines of text in a fine gothic book hand. One-line initial in burnished gold on a pink and blue ground with white tracery a two-line initial and a three-line initial in pink with white tracery on a ground of burnished gold the center filled with twining blue vines bearing pink and scarlet flowers verso with a rinceau panel border featuring twining hairline stems bearing burnished gold ivy leaves and fruit blue and gold acanthus leaves and flowers recto WITH AN ARCH-TOPPED MINIATURE OF THE HOLY TRINITY SURROUNDED BY THE HEAVENLY HOST this and the accompanying text enclosed by a pink blue and burnished gold bar border on one side and a brushed gold bar border with pink lotus flowers on two sides the whole surrounded by A FULL RINCEAU BORDER DENSE WITH ACANTHUS LEAVES FOLIAGE FRUIT FLOWERS AND TINY GOLD BERRIES on hairline stems. ◆A little paint flaked from the book held by the Trinity a couple of small spots in the margin otherwise in fine condition--clean and smooth with comfortable margins and bright gold. The Trinity is shown here seated on a canopied throne with God the Son his hand raised in blessing to the left of the Father. The latter in a towering crown holds a gold orb and the Father and Son together support a large book opened between them. The dove of the Holy Spirit hovers above the book radiating golden beams. The Trinity is flanked on both sides by cherubim and seraphim in rich red and soft yellow. It is the rendering of this angelic ambiance that elevates the level of aesthetic achievement here: both red and yellow celestial beings are given a ghostly appearance as if appearing out of a filmy yellow or a densely red fog. The artistic qualities as a whole suggest that this leaf comes from a manuscript commissioned by a person of significant means. unknown

BIBLE IN ENGLISH (THE MACKLIN BIBLE)Biblio.com

THE HOLY BIBLE. THE OLD TESTAMENT EMBELLISHED WITH ENGRAVINGS FROM PICTURES AND DESIGNS BY THE MOST EMINENT ENGLISH ARTISTS with: THE NEW TESTAMENT

1800CJW1405London: T. Bensley for T. Macklin final volume Bensley for T. Cadell & W. Davies 1800. First Printing of this Edition. 484 x 390 mm. 19 x 15 1/4". Seven volumes. Once splendid contemporary black straight-grain morocco gilt covers framed by Greek key roll palmette roll and multiple gilt rules double raised bands spine compartments densely gilt with rows of alternating star and circlet tools gilt titling turn-ins with gilt chain roll purple endpapers all edges gilt some inexpert but not obvious repairs to joints and backstrips. With more than 100 allegorical headpieces and tailpieces and some 70 SPLENDID LARGE-FOLIO SIZE COPPER PLATES after Fuseli Reynolds West and others. Herbert 1442 and 1651. ◆Extremities rather rubbed boards a bit scuffed but the decorative contemporaneous bindings solid and not without appeal. Plates somewhat foxed mostly to margins mild to moderate offsetting from plates occasional mild offsetting in the text bed but still a fresh wide-margined copy. The most prodigious form of scripture in English ever published the Macklin Bible features very large and bold type fine Whatman paper and a series of engravings by some of the most celebrated artists of the period. Like the Boydell "Shakespeare Gallery" also printed by Bensley our Macklin Bible is a vast picture book with illustrations that are grand both in size and emotional impact. According to DNB Macklin 1752/3-1800 announced his intention to produce a lavishly illustrated luxuriously produced folio Bible in 1789 and he spent the next 11 years and £30000 making his dream a reality. His efforts paid off: "the subscription list for 703 copies at £46 1s. apiece was headed by the king the queen and the prince of Wales." Sadly Macklin died just five days after the last engraving was finished and did not live to see his masterpiece become one of the most acclaimed English Bibles. As DNB observes "The Macklin Bible endures as the most ambitious edition produced in Britain often pirated but never rivalled." Copies of the Macklin Bible were often put into ornate bindings as was the present set; despite the depradations of time the workmanship of a superior London binder remains apparent. T.

The Reynard stories were already established as a coherent collection in the 12th century and were first printed in 1479 in a Dutch prose edition. They became especially well known when translated into English and adapted for Caxton's 1481 edition in 43 chapters. The publisher Edward Alde in London began work on an extensive revision of Caxton's text with many new additions but he published only the first part probably in 1620 the first edition of the present part 1 containing 25 chapters some corresponding with chapters in Caxton's edition and some not. Although the second part would have to wait 52 years the first part quickly became the standard English version of the Reynard the Fox stories with 8 editions from 1620 to 1671. Its language was modernized giving both a view of the stories as they were known through most of two centuries and insights into English values and culture of the time. In 1684 Brewster added the present first edition of part 3 giving the adventures of Reynard's son Reynardine.With 20th-century woodcut bookplate. The woodcut on C1 of part 1 is printed upside down.

RÃ©fÃ©rente d'histoire de Paris pour la bibliothÃ¨que:."These very discreet graphic illustrations of the most prominent features of the French capital with characteristic figures in the foregrounds bear no artist's name on the title page. The plates themselves are signed â€œS. Porter sculpsitâ€ â€œSparrow sculpsitâ€ â€œDadley sculpsitâ€ or â€œAngus sculpsit.â€ The latter is probably William Angus 1752â€“1821 a British draftsman and engraver. We have not been able to identify the other engravers.At least one of the plates is based on a drawing by Pierre-Antoine Demachy 1723â€“1807 author of numerous views of Paris particularly panoramas of the quays. It is tempting to attribute to him all the aquatint drawings in the collectionâ€”a technique decidedly in vogue for veduta at the turn of the century. The drawings of him that are kept at the MusÃ©e Carnavalet or in the Destailleur collection of the BnF do not however correspond to those in our album and cannot confirm this attribution.The first edition was published in 1815 by Howlett and Brimmer in London. This edition published by Harper the following year suggests that the album was successful coming just a few months after Waterloo had reopened France to the British after twelve years of closure. These two publishers had previously produced picture albums of the Allied countries: The Costume of the Russian Empire 73 engravings 1803 with descriptions in French the international language at the time and English and Sketches of Military Costume in Spain and Portugal 1810.Like Nattes's album this one does not focus on the Empire's achievements in Paris: neither the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel nor the Place du ChÃ¢telet the Palais de la Chancellerie HÃ´tel de Salm nor the Louvre's expansions. The buildings depicted on the plates could as in Nattes's work be presented in their state from 1802-1803.The album nevertheless focuses primarily on the heart of Napoleonic power the Louvre-Tuileries-Champs-Ã‰lysÃ©es district to which eight of the twelve plates are devoted. It also provides two panoramas from the North and the South. The panorama from Montmartre is a classic viewpoint dating back to that captured by Mathieu Merian in 1620.". London : Harper and Co.
