04964Campden Gloucestershire: Essex House Press 1905.

Bound ca. 1905 by The "Belvoir" Bindery stamp-signed in gilt on front paste-down. Full sage green crushed levant morocco covers with central panel and four rounded side panels formed by gilt rules the corners with a spray of five inlaid red morocco water lilies and gilt foliage. Smooth spine vertically lettered in gilt and decoratively tooled with foliate extensions. Gilt-dotted board edges gilt rolled turn-ins vellum liners and endleaves all edges gilt. A very very pretty little binding in near mint condition. A lovely copy of the fourteenth and last of the Essex House "Great Poems Series" in a very attractive binding by the respected craftsman and teacher James Samuel Hewitt-Bates at his Belvoir Bindery. J.S. Hewitt-Bates born 1864 taught bookbinding at the Leicester School of Art and also operated a bindery on Belvoir Road in that city. A disciple of William Morris and an enthusiastic participant in the Arts & Crafts Movement he was the author of a number of works on bookbinding including the pamphlet included with this binding which reprints an essay he wrote for the journal "The Bibliophile" outlining his philosophy of bookbinding. According to Bates "The principles which ought to govern the right and proper binding of a book are strength durability and fitness. The decoration of a book ought to be in harmony with the nature of the work. The design ought always to be simple and flat without shading." He emphasizes the importance of high-quality materials sound construction and expert forwarding. This actual binding is featured on a full-page black and white photograph facing p. 6. on his promotional pamphlet for The Belvoir Bindery entitled "Bookbinding for the Book-Lover" circa 1918 40 pp. brown pictorial wrappers with many full-page photos of bindings. Bates' qualifications and skills as a bookbinder are treated in the work citing awards of First Class Honors First Prizeman Silver Medallist of the City and Guilds of London Institute and holder of the SkinnerÃs Company Prize. "After Kelmscott had closed several of the workmen employed there moved to the Essex House Press started by C.R. Ashbee in 1898 as an addition to the several crafts practiced at his 10-year-old Guild of Handicrafts originally at Essex House in Mile End Road London. It was different from the other private affairs of the time in that it was deliberately conceived as a part of a larger whole. The Essex House Press was then an Arts and Crafts press par excellence; no doubt as a result of Ashbee's work in other crafts such as jewelry and metalwork it reveals more of Art Nouveau in many of its books than one would have expected from so devoted a follower of Morris. Cave. The Private Press pp. 125-125. "Three other important presses date from the nineties - Eragny Essex House and Ashendene. The Essex House Press was one of several activities of the Guild of Handicraft founded and led by C.R. Ashbee first in the Mile End Road later at Campden in Gloucestershire. The books and bindings were often excellent experimental and generally small. The Press began in 1898 consciously to carry on the traditions of William Morris and continued to issue books almost until the Great War; but the whole enterprise is perhaps most interesting in the context of Guild Socialism and the application of ideas which had been preached by Ruskin and Morris."

AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM CALENDAR LEAF FROM A BOOK OF HOURS, DEPICTING LABOR OF THE MONTH AND ZODIAC SIGNBiblio.com

TEXT FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER

1460ST12835Paris ca. 1460. 195 x 143 mm. 7 3/4 x 5 1/2". Single column 16 lines in a gothic book hand. Minor feast days in red and blue major feasts in gold numerous gold and painted line fillers the five "A" initials and the "KL" highly decorative and painted pink and blue against a gold background gold and pink bar surrounding the text on three sides BOTH SIDES OF THE LEAF WITH EXTRAVAGANTLY DECORATIVE BOTANICAL FULL BORDERS with two small birds hidden within and INCORPORATING TWO MEDALLION MINIATURES DEPICTING THE LABOR OF THE MONTH SOWING AND THE SIGN OF THE ZODIAC SCORPIO FOR OCTOBER. ◆IN VERY FINE FRESH CONDITION with gold and paint extraordinarily bright. The extraordinarily lavish and animated full borders coupled here with extensive use of brushed and burnished gold--for major feast days for decorative border elements and even for the hundreds of seeds being sown!--suggests that this calendar folio comes from a Book of Hours that was commissioned for a person or persons of high rank since it would have been very costly. The leaf comes from a manuscript that included numerous roundels depicting the lives of St. Catherine and the more obscure St. Alexius and it is possible that the Book of Hours belonged to a husband and wife for whom these saints served as patrons. The style of the delicately painted figures especially in the roundels indicates an artist who was familiar with the early output of the Coëtivy Master who according to Avril and Renaud can be identified with Colin d'Amiens who made a great name for himself in Paris not as was previously thought with Henri de Vulcop who made a great name for himself in the Loire region. The master takes his name from the Book of Hours now in the Austrian national library that he painted for Olivier de Coëtivy and his wife Marie de Valois one of some 30 works that have been identified as his. Although there is considerable Flemish influence that can be seen in his work he has links for example with Simon Marmion Colin d'Amiens was active in Paris during the third quarter of the 15th century and with Barthélmy van Eyck and Jean Fouquet was among the three great artists of this period patronized by the French court--Avril and Renaud says flatly that our master was "the most important artist practising in Paris in the third quarter of the century from about 1450 to 1485." For more on the Coëtivy Master see Avril and Reynaud pp. 58-69. 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

1465ST17243bBruges 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 one two-line initial in gold filled with blue on pink ground WITH THREE LARGE HISTORIATED INITIALS: ONE FEATURING AN OVAL-SHAPED PIECE OF FLESH WITH A GASH IN THE CENTER AND TWO WITH CHRIST'S DISEMBODIED FOOT SHOWING THE PUNCTURE WOUND FROM THE CRUCIFIXION each initial in pink or blue with white tracery filled with dark pink and thin gilt lines and dots four wavy blue rays radiating from behind each 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. ◆Vellum a shade less than bright faint marginal rumpling trivial paint transfer on one initial BUT IN FINE CONDITION the initials richly painted and extremely 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 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. A sister leaf to the present item features three additional initials showing 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. 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. The present leaf surpasses both of these examples in terms of excellence of the artistic hand and attention to detail. unknown

50 Photographs of Antiquities including the Elgin Marbles British Museum Series

1897526A collection of 50 albumen prints from the British Museum Series numerous manuscript captions slight age-related toning photographs mounted to album occasional light marginal foxing not affecting image original maroon cloth with quarter morocco spine retaining studs title gilt to spine slightly rubbed folio London: W.A. Mansell c.1897 The 50 photographs of antiquities in the British Museum covering Greek Roman and Etruscan Statues and Vases including 24 of the Parthenon Frieze. Many of the images are accompanied by manuscript captions. Other photographs include:Horse of Selene Ilissos "Colossal Lion" The Piranesi Vase "Marble Vase found in the Villa of Hadrian at Tivoli" "Mercury" "Venus de Medici" "The "Townley" Venus" "Venus Entering Bath" "Apollo as a Player of the Lyre from Cyrene" "Hercules" Hercules found in Hadrian's villa at Tivoli Drum of Sculptured Column from Temple of Diana Artemision Ephesus "Casts from Balustrade of Temple of Wingless Victory - Athens -" Etruscan Sepulchral Monument in terracotta "Thalia"T. Aurelius Fulvius Antonius Pius Aurelius Antoni Satyr Apollo Demeter Ceres and Sepulchral Rites at the Tomb of a Hero. The Elgin Marbles are a collection of statues and architectural decoration acquired by the Earl of Elgin during his time as Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. He successfully petitioned the authorities to be able to measure draw and remove figures in various ruins. The most extensive work was on the Parthenon or Temple of Athena but he also received permission to remove sculptural and architectural elements from a number of other ruins including the Acropolis and the Temple of Nike Athena. The most famous of the Elgin Marbles are the Parthenon Sculptures a collection of different types of marble architectural decoration on the Parthenon. The Parthenon Frieze 75 metres in length depicts various scenes including the battle between the Lapitas and the Centaurs at the marriage feast of Peirithoos. Elgin originally intended on using the Frieze as decoration in his private home but due to the collapse of his marriage he sold them to the British Museum. There have been debates over the legitimacy of Elgin's excavation. After an investigation from a Parliamentary Select Committee in 1816 Elgin's actions were found to be entirely legal. Since 1983 Greece has formally requested the British Museum to return all the Parthenon Sculptures in the Museum's collection the British Museum states there are no current discussions with the Greek Government on this issue. Roger Fenton is one of the most celebrated figures in the history of photography. He was a creative and highly influential photographer in the mediums "golden age" of the 1850s. In his role as the British Museum's first official photographer Fenton demonstrated his sure sense as a 'photo artist'. He was initially engaged to photograph cuneiform tablets but that soon developed into taking pictures of other antiquities. As early as 1852 Fenton received permission from the Trustees to photograph antiquities within the museum establishing a small studio inside the museum the following year. He left in 1854 to serve as a photographer in the Crimean War for which he is most widely known but he was re-appointed on his return in 1856 until the termination of his contract in July 1859. The Trustees decided that photography was not cost effective and after they failed to negotiate the South Kensington Museum now the V&A as an alternative Fenton terminated his association with the British Museum.

YEMEN FROM THE AIRBiblio.com

Two albums containing 230 photographs of Yemen Ethiopia and Somaliland.

1935169367Aden: 1935-36. A superb window onto Yemen in the 1930s Two albums depicting the experiences of British servicemen stationed in Yemen around the time of the Second Italo-Abyssinian War 1935-7 mixing the documentary and the personal. The images include very rare contemporary aerial photographs of towns including Aden Ta'izz and Shibam graphic pictures of war in Addis Ababa urban military and agricultural scenes and records of free time on the RAF base at Khormaksar. Nearly all carry explanatory manuscript captions. Aden was of crucial strategic importance to the British Empire having been brought under the control of the East India Company in 1839. After the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 it became one of the world's busiest ports. The RAF maintained a base at Khormaksar now Aden International Airport which played host to numerous squadrons throughout the 1930s. Of these No. 8 Squadron was stationed at Khormaksar for the longest period of time maintaining a policing and day-bombing role. Photographs of military aircraft belonging to No. 8 Squadron can be seen in these albums alongside pictures of planes flown by Nos 203 41 and 55 Squadrons. The photographs give a vivid impression of the volume of air and maritime traffic - mostly British but also French and Dutch - which passed through Aden after Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia. Aerial shots show Fairey MK IIIs and Vickers Vincent planes flying in formation as well as night and day bombers and flying boats. There are also detailed close-ups of ships including British aircraft carriers. It seems probable that the photographer who assembled these albums was involved in surveying: there are fine aerial shots of Aden and Crater the Sultan's palace at Lahij Shuqra Shibam Tarim Ibb al-Mukalla and Ta'izz giving an outstanding sense of how these towns looked in the early 20th century. The pictures of Ethiopia include one aerial photograph of Addis Ababa a number of ground shots of an execution the wounded and the dead and images of buildings on fire. There is only one photograph captioned as having been taken in Somaliland but this provides a further clue that the photographer was sent from Yemen to the Horn of Africa with the intention of documenting Italian military activities there. As a result of the Second Italo-Abyssinian War Ethiopia was incorporated into Italian East Africa consisting of Italian Somalia Ethiopia and Eritrea. Britain ruled British Somaliland and France controlled French Somaliland Djibouti. Many of the images may have been taken when the photographer was off duty. There are several almost touristic shots of everyday life in Crater showing children playing and Friday prayers images taken on the beach and in the salt pans around Aden pictures of Yemeni pastoralists with their cattle and photographs of Yemeni Indian and Somali women. A significant minority of the pictures show downtime at Khormaksar with a string of images depicting airmen in fancy dress playing football and drinking. There are even two photos of the squadron's dog in a cap and glasses and with a pipe in its mouth. 2 albums. Album I with 175 silver print photographs of various dimensions 100 x 65 mm - 240 x 180 mm mounted on card. Album II with 55 silver print photographs all c.100 x 150 mm or c.75 x 100 mm. Almost all photographs with period ink captions. Album I: quarto 290 x 230 mm. Original cloth covers spine and sides decorated with pictorial designs in relief marbled endpapers 36 card stock leaves. Album II: landscape octavo 130 x 187 mm. Contemporary black card wrappers "Aden" title sticker on front cover 22 card stock leaves. Album I: superficial rubbing to spine and rear cover short splits to inner hinges fore edges nicked. Album II: rear inner hinge split glue residue to gutters. Photographs all in very good condition. hardcover

An Adventure in Constructive Finance

x, [2], 423 pages. Index. "There is no man living who, from the beginning or in the progress or at the ending of federal reserve legislation, was more closely or constantly than I privy to and identified with the consideration and enactment of the law under which the federal reserve banking system was set up. Ever since the enactment of the federal reserve law it has been my intention to write, some day, a story of the many inside events, word of which never reached beyond a closely restricted circle and had no such thing as current newspaper attention. Very likely my desire to tell the dramatic story would have abated if not for the recent publication of the 'Intimate Papers' in which the paternity of the Federal Reserve Act and its particular management are placidly ascribed to Colonel E.M. House." - Introduction. Accordingly, Chapter III of this book is devoted to a scathing critique of the veracity of 'The Intimate Papers of Colonel House', first published in 1926. Colonel House was an intimate confidant of Woodrow Wilson, President when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Latter day conspiracy researchers argue House successfully advocated for the interests of the House of Rothschild during the development and passage of the Federal Reserve Act. In response to Glass's book, Paul Warburg, also instrumental in the founding of the Federal Reserve, was "impelled to lay down in black and white my recollections of certain events in the history of banking reform." - Preface to his two-volume work The Federal Reserve System, Its Origins and Growth - Reflections and Recollections, published in 1930. Commenting on Glass's book, James Grant, of Interest Rate Observer fame, notes "the story of the creation of the Fed by its chief progenitor, Carter Glass, makes you doubt he would recognize today's Federal Reserve, were he brought back to life to inspect it. He explodes in indignation at any who would impugn the proposed Federal Reserve note as mere fiat money. In fact, he considered the currency to be as good as gold - or better." Clearly, Glass's recollections herein represent a profoundly important chronicle of the origins and founding of the Federal Reserve System. Frontispiece photo portrait of Woodrow Wilson. Former university library copy with usual markings. Sturdily rebound in navy buckram. Book

The chorus-line all-girl revue shows at the Frontier Village during the 100 day run of the Oregon Centennial Exposition. This re-created town from the 1870â€™s Old West featured the Golden Nugget dance hall & saloon as well as livery stable church post office and hotel and proved to be the most successful attraction. Mossmanâ€™s Can-Can girls put on daily shows and held dances where the daringly dressed women would dance with visitors and hired actors. The 1859-1959 Centennial Exposition lasted from June 10 to Sept. 17 on 65 acres along the Columbia River formerly Vanport wiped away in the tragic 1948 flood and also featured a Gayway Amusement Park Garden of Tomorrow & Adventureland. The photos depict not only Mossmanâ€™s Can-Can girl revue but also steam locomotives Modernist sculptures and murals by Louis Bunce and other Oregon artists as well as photos of the Mid-Century Modern Lumber Industry Pavilion and the striking Hall of Religious History in the Garden of Tomorrow which featured murals of Carl Morris.

One photo includes dinner guests of Miracle Oxygen which featured the editor of The Oregonian Dick Nokes Paul Hauron stage feature writer the Todds and others. Of additional interest are the photos of Mossman showing off his scrapbook filled with images from his long career as well as images while convalescing with his bevy of beauties in the Shrinerâ€™s Hospital in Portland OR. Mossman 1894-1976 was an Oregon native and grandson of Isaac Mossman who had fought in the 1855-1856 Indian Wars rode with the Washington Territoryâ€™s Pony Express out of Walla Walla and was the first Washington Territorial librarian in 1870. Earl Mossman began running away from home as a young boy to perform in taverns and saloons in downtown Portland later worked for Pacific Power & Light Co. as an office boy and in 1913 after marrying his childhood sweetheart Catherine Groos launched his career on the Vaudeville Circuit. He initially played with the Basco Comedy Co. and later with Connie & Mackâ€™s and the Bert Levy Circuit. Walter Winchell coined him as the â€œBeau Brummel of Broadwayâ€ during the 1920â€™s and by the 1930â€™s was performing with Norma Lawton in Broadway productions such as â€œThe Dancing Producerâ€ and performed with his partner Ray Vance at the Lotus Isle Amusement Park and the Peacock Ballroom. He would marry five different times performed at civic activities Rose Festivals and beauty pageants across the Pacific Northwest.Over half the photographs in this collection were shot by Allen J. De Lay photographer with The Oregonian from 1947 until the newspaper strike of 1960 who was not only an extraordinary photographer but also musician and competitive swimmer. He is perhaps best remembered for his photographs of the darker seamier side of Portland in the post-World War II era. Other Oregon photographers represented include Maxwell Allara Paul Blixt Kirk Braun Bill Gray Hodge Kennell-Ellis Verne Lewis Alfred Monner Dick Slater Don Thompson Donald Wilson and others. Of particular interest are noted theatrical photographers such as Bruno in Hollywood and James J. Kriegsmann 1909-1994 celebrity & theatrical photographer from 1929 to the 1980â€™s. We could find no similar archive of Mossman related photos in any institutional holdings except for a few images.
