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. Small 1/2" closed tear to front corner of dust jacket otherwise a clean crisp set. DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY. Record # 399430 Yale University Press hardcover

Constable was born at Carnbee Fife son of the land steward to the Earl of Kellie. In 1788 Archibald was apprenticed to Peter Hill an Edinburgh bookseller based on the High Street south of the Mercat Cross. In 1795 Constable started in business for himself as a dealer in rare books taking a unit immediately opposite Peter Hill on the north side of the Mercat Cross. He was then living in a house in Calton village on the edge of Calton Hill. He bought the rights to publish the Scots Magazine in 1801 and John Leyden the orientalist became its editor. In 1800 Constable began the Farmer's Magazine and in November 1802 he issued the first number of the Edinburgh Review under the nominal editorship of Sydney Smith; Lord Jeffrey was however the guiding spirit of the review having as his associates Lord Brougham Sir Walter Scott Henry Hallam John Playfair and afterwards Lord Macaulay. In 1802 he published "Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border" by Walter Scott and continued a lifelong friendship with Scott from at least this point. Walter Scott was primarily an advocate and the Edinburgh courts were only 100m from Constable's shop. From at least 1809 his head clerk Robert Cadell had a financial interest in the firm and in 1811 he replaced Hunter of Blackness as a partner and from 1812 was sole partner with Constable. Constable made a new departure in publishing by the generosity of his terms to authors. Writers for the Edinburgh Review were paid at an unprecedented rate and Constable offered Scott 1000 guineas in advance for Marmion. In 1804 A. G. Hunter of Blackness joined Constable as partner bringing considerable capital into the firm which thereafter was styled Archibald Constable & Co. In 1805 jointly with Longman & Co. Constable published Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel and in 1807 Marmion. He also published four of James Hogg's books The Mountain Bard 1807 The Shepherd's Guide 1807 The Forest Minstrel 1810 and Poetical Works 1822. In 1808 a split took place between Constable and Sir Walter Scott who transferred his business to the publishing firm of John Ballantyne & Co. for which he supplied most of the capital. In 1813 however a reconciliation took place. Ballantyne was in difficulties and Constable again became Scott's publisher a condition being that the firm of John Ballantyne & Co. should be wound up at an early date though Scott retained his interest in the printing business of James Ballantyne & Co. Around 1810 he bought a house at the head of Craigs Close nearby his shop. The premises was previously the house of William Creech and historically had been the home of Andro Hart. The printworks linked to this house seem to have been leased by Constable since around 1800. In 1808 he served as Moderator of the High Constables of Edinburgh. In 1812 Constable who had admitted Robert Cathcart and Robert Cadell as partners on Hunter's retirement purchased the copyright of the Encyclopædia Britannica adding the supplement 6 vols 1816-1824 to the 4th 5th and 6th editions. In 1814 he bought the copyright of Waverley. This was issued anonymously; but in a short time 12000 copies were disposed of Scott's other novels following in quick succession. The firm also published the Annual Register. Constable played a key role in the 1825 purchase of the Astorga Collection by the library of the Faculty of Advocates. The collection comprising 3716 pre-1800 volumes which ones belonged to Spain's 14th Marquis of Astorga is now held by the National Library of Scotland. Through over-speculation complications arose and in 1826 a financial crash occurred. Constable's London agents stopped payment leading to his failure for over £250000. James Ballantyne & Co. also went bankrupt owing nearly £90000. The collapse of both firms had a significant impact on Sir Walter Scott. Constable started business afresh and began in 1827 Constable's Miscellany of Original and Selected Works consisting of a series of original works and of standard books republished in a cheap form thus making one of the earliest and most famous attempts to popularize high-quality literature. Constable died of dropsy which had plagued him for several years at home 3 Park Place in Edinburgh on 21 July 1827 but his firm survived and the Constable publishing business continued in the twentieth century issuing a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books. It continues today as Constable & Robinson. Wikipedia hardcover
