Charles Jones Way 1835-1919. During his career Way was noted for his depictions of North American and European landscapes and seascapes. From 1858 Way settled in Montreal where he established an art studio and often collaborated with pioneering Montreal-based photographer William Notman 1826-1891 who had set up one of the most noted early photography studios in the city. Here Notman photographs Way's work with a keen eye and attention to detail.

1809ST14310fLondon: J. Hatchard 1809. 210 x 133 mm. 8 1/4 x 5 1/4". xvi 291 pp.Translated by Louisa A. Marshall. <br/> Contemporary dark blue straight-grain morocco covers bordered with gilt rule flat spine with simple gilt rules and titling gilt-ruled turn-ins all edges gilt and WITH A FINE FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF A SCENIC RIVER VIEW FEATURING CHRIST CHURCH PRIORY in Hampshire. Front free endpaper with owner signature of E. A. Fetherston. Slight variation in color of boards half title with one inch trimmed away at head probably removing owner inscription leaves a shade less than bright occasional minor foxing or offsetting in the text bed but still an excellent copy the text clean and fresh the pleasant binding entirely sound and the lovely fore-edge painting very well preserved.<br/> <br/> The typically bucolic fore-edge scene here--boat in tranquil water stately building occupying center stage trees all around puffy clouds--stands out for the level of achievement in execution by the artist. The clouds are painted in a delicately applied range of shades so that they are very convincing; there is considerable architectural detail visible on the side of the church; and it seems as if one can almost see individual leaves in the trees. These features are all hallmarks of the work of the so-called "Dover Painter" the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore edges in the 1920s and 1930s. He did work for the famous London bookseller Marks & Company for Dawson's Bookshop in Los Angeles and for J. W. Robinson Company the Los Angeles department store. Estelle Doheny 1875-1958 whose library comprised one of the great collections of the 20th century bought actively from Dawson's and Weber estimates that approximately half of the very considerable number of especially fine fore-edge paintings in the Doheny collection in Camarillo California were done by the Dover Painter. As the fore-edge painting here evokes a feeling of serenity so too does the content religious meditations by François Fénélon 1651-1715 priest writer and tutor to King Louis XIV's grandson for whom he composed his best-known work "The Adventures of Telemachus.".

All volumes with numerous wood-engravings in the text. Corners and spine somewhat worn joints a little rubbed hinges of first volume open but nothing loose; pastedowns with shadow of bookplate removal but internally fresh clean and bright with only trivial defects.<br/> <br/> This set of an English adaptation of one of the most widely read works of the Enlightenment features a pleasing fore-edge painting full of charming detail. With his enormously influential "Histoire Naturelle" Buffon 1707-88 became the first person to present the natural world as one unified whole entirely explicable in scientific terms and in a popular form. Modern evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr called Buffon "the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century" and declared that the "Natural History" was read by "every educated person in Europe." Our editor John Wright has augmented Buffon's work with the works of other naturalists including Culver Lacepede and "a British botanist of acknowledged note" among others. The text is supplemented by numerous wood engravings with perhaps livelier and more attractive depictions than might be expected from a small format abridged edition like this one. The main attraction here the fore-edge painting has been done with not inconsiderable skill and charm. In it two vessels cruise the glassy waters of Rotterdam the city's iconic canal houses and the gothic church of St. Lawrence rising in the background. The scene mixes tranquility and commerce in a tableau rendered with a great deal of care and delicacy in its minute details. Thomas Tegg; J. Cumming, Dublin; and R. Griffin and Co., Glasgow unknown
