1902127687BRIGHTON: BRIGHTON BOROUGH POLICE 1902 Ivory Buckram cloth boards 185 x 130 mm approx. xxxii 242 pp addenda. Edition not stated - dated April 1902 to title page printed by King Thorne & Stace Printers Jubilee Street Brighton. A very interesting item which gives an insight into policing in Brighton at the turn of the 19th century. Whilst much of the general instructions would appertained to Police forces generally there is much which relates specifically to Brighton ie Brighton Borough Acts Town Acts and Bye Laws including table of distances from the town hall and from various places within the borough with fares 1st and 2nd class stands for Hackney Carriages etc. According to Baines' History of Brighton Police 1838-1967 there were 150 Police officers serving Brighton in 1902. The printer's code on the title page 1248-4/1902-250 would suggest that the print run was 250 copies. In view of the likelihood it would have been a requirement to surrender up the handbook when retiring or dismissal from the force and copies extant when a new or revised handbook was issued would have been redundant and disposed of the copy offered is a very rare survivor. Good The plain buckram cloth boards are stained and soiled recent replacement of free front end paper with best match paper stock as bought in by us lacking same. pencil note to top margin p182 regarding powers of arrest. A little light occassional soiling but book block respectably clean and binding sound.Please see our images of the actual book offered for sale for further details and condition.

1984399430New Haven CT: Yale University Press 1984. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Two large hardcover volumes in bright dust jackets. 940 total pages. John Constable one of the most beloved of British painters is renowned for his poetic approach to nature and his extraordinary use of broken color. In this beautiful two-volume set the dean of Constable scholars Graham Reynolds discusses all the paintings and drawings the artist produced between 1790 and 1816 both before and after his breakthrough into the original style that is the basis of his fame. Together with Reynolds`s award-winning The Later Paintings and Drawings of John Constable 1984 the books are a catalogue raisonne‚ of this artist`s monumental oeuvre.The two volumes one of text and one of plates describe and reproduce 1370 paintings and drawings in chronological order. They begin with Constable`s juvenilia and tentative experiments before he went to London in 1799 to become a professional artist. Next are some lesser-known works―elegant figure studies of girls Constable`s first portraits and his Lake District watercolors. Finally are the works after 1808―Dedham Vale: morning Flatford Mill from a Lock on the Stour A Summerland The Stour Valley and Dedham Village and the recently rediscovered The Wheatfield―works that made Constable a major force in British landscape painting. The volumes also include Constable`s numerous sketches of his homeland around East Bergholt and Dedham from this period drawings on which he based his later masterpieces. An appendix records and reproduces as addenda to The Later Paintings and Drawings 94 works produced between 1817 and 1836 that have come to light since those books were published.
