Fore edge Painting BIBLE.ABAA

The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments. . . Stereotype edition.

1817FF2408Cambridge:: Printed by J. Smith 1817 1816. 1817. 2 volumes. Small 12mo. iv 600; 601-821 1 2; 250 2 pp. Original crimson blind- and gilt-stamped straight grained morocco all edges gilt. Within slip-case bound in red cloth gilt-stamped back "Foredge Paintings" likely the box dates from the time of the fore-edge painting. With two lovely fore-edge paintings painted on the fanned edges; not labeled but the scenes are of British churches. Provenance: Carnegie Book Shop New York Dec 14 1965 - sold to: Roland S. Bond Dallas TX. Probably this is the Louis H. Silver d.1963 Chicago copy sold at Parke-Bernet Galleries Nov. 16 1965 sold to Carnegie Book Shop NY. The volume was described as "one vol. bound in 2 which was an oversight as the 2nd title is deep within the second vol. Silver was a lawyer engineer and Chicago hotel owner Gold Coast Hotels who was a trustee of the Newberry Library. The bulk of his collection was purchased through his agent the noted bookseller John F. Fleming and brought a reported NY Times May 15 1964 price of 2.75 million dollars. / The University of Texas Ransom Center reports: "In June of 1963 Silver was diagnosed with terminal cancer and enlisted Fleming's help in selling his substantial library. Silver had very specific demands for the saleâ€”his library was to be sold en bloc and he should receive no less than $2.2 million for it. Fleming made contact with several auction houses but on October 27 1963 Silver died before any action towards a sale could be completed. Silver's estate represented by Clarence A. Beutel and Silver's wife Amy wanted the search for a buyer to continue according to Silver's specifications. / On November 15 1963 the University of Texas at Austin expressed interest in the collection. Fleming began negotiations with Dr. Harry Ransom Chancellor of the University of Texas at Austin. Within a month Ransom had $2.75 million in cash for the sale. Silver's estate though was feeling hesitant about the sale. The first problem was that they did not want to pay Fleming his $200000 commission. The second was that they felt pressured to keep the Silver Library in Illinois by selling it to the Newberry Library instead. In the end that is what the estate chose to do. On May 13 1964 the Newberry Library bought the Silver Library for $2.75 million. / Under Illinois law Fleming as a property broker should have earned his commission when he produced a ready willing and able buyer. There is no requirement that a sale with that buyer must occur. Since Fleming produced his buyer he requested his commission. When the Silver estate refused Fleming filed a lawsuit in Illinois on August 6 1964. The estate was granted summary judgment and the case was dismissed. The court found that since many of the books were damaged and the University of Texas did not examine the books prior to agreeing to buy them it would not have actually been willing to commit to the sale. Fleming appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In John F. Fleming Incorporated v. Beutel 395 F.2d 21 the appellate court remanded the case after finding that the lower court was incorrect in granting summary judgment. The appellate court ruled that when one was dealing with older books some damage was par for the course and so the buyer would have been willing to go through with the sale. However rather than continue the court battle Fleming settled out of court for $92000 on December 17 1968. / The Newberry Library took possession of the Silver Library and against Silver's wishes discarded one third of the books as surplus and auctioned them."

Fore edge Painting CLINTON Henry Fynes 1781 1852.ABAA

An Epitome of the Civil and Literary Chronology of Rome and Constantinople from the death of Augustus to the death of Heraclius. Edited by Rev. C.J. Fynes Clinton.

1853FF2400Oxford:: University Press 1853. 1853. 8vo. vi 524 2 pp. Index. Original full dark green morocco stamped "Fortem Posce Animum" "Pray for a strong will" - Juvenal and on the lower cover: Honi soit qui Mal y Pense" = "Evil to him who evil thinks"; joints rubbed. Student's prize for George Rodney Scott d. March 3 1929 at Winchester College July 8 1866. later a Fellow of Merton College; bookplate of Bernardine Murphy. Very good. With a fore-edge painting by the "Dover" artist "Ponte Rotti Rome." With the title hand-written by the artist. Painted ca.1920-30s. Fore-edge painting of "Rotti Bridge Rome." The "Ponte Rotto" was drawn by J.D. Harding and engraved by Edward Francis Finden ca.1834 and the fore-edge artist has used this view to apply to the edge of Clinton's Chronology of Rome. The provenance suggests that Scott was the owner through 1929 and on his death it may have found its way to Marks & Co. perhaps by scouting or by auction. From that date it is consistent with other pieces also painted by the 'Dover' painter though this tends to support the point that the earliest date this book could have received a fore-edge painting would have been in 1929. <br /><br /> PROVENANCE: Bookplate of Bernadine Murphy Donahue 1904-1968 a prominent California Catholic philanthropist who married Daniel Donahue in 1954 and established the Daniel Murphy Foundation in 1957 in memory of her father to promote Roman Catholic causes. "So helpful to the Church was the foundation that Pope John XXIII conferred on Bernardine the title of 'Papal Countess' the only title given to an American during his pontificate. Several years later Pope Paul VI conferred on Daniel the title 'Gentleman of His Holiness' the highest award bestowed on a layman in the Church and the first such Award ever given to an American. The Countess died unexpectedly in 1968" Burks. Burks Lisa. "Bernadine Murphy Donahue."
