1795ST20880London: W. Bulmer and Co. Shakspeare Printing Office 1795. 305 x 238 mm. 12 x 9 5/8". xx 76 pp. <br/> HANDSOME CONTEMPORARY SCARLET STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT covers framed by gilt fillets and decorative rolls smooth spine panels diapered into compartments containing annular dots gilt lettering turn-ins with gilt bead roll marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Housed in a velveteen-lined brown cloth chemise in an excellent matching morocco-backed slipcase. Engraved title page vignette five plates and seven vignettes in the text by Thomas and John Bewick. A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with bookseller's ticket of E. Lloyd. Hugo 87; Ray "England" 50. See also Glaister p. 75. Four small black ink spots to boards a hint of wear to corners title and dedication leaf a bit foxed occasional mild foxing elsewhere but an excellent copy--the text clean and fresh with capacious margins and the beautiful contemporary binding lustrous and virtually unworn.<br/> <br/> This extremely attractive poetic production is called by Hugo "a magnificent result of the efforts of the wood-engraver type-founder papermaker and printer" and it is offered here in a richly decorative contemporary binding. The text is composed of two poems by Oliver Goldsmith "The Traveller" and "The Deserted Village" and one poem by Thomas Parnell "The Hermit" accompanied by biographical sketches of each writer that of Parnell written by Goldsmith. The charming illustrations are the work of the Bewick brothers. More than any contemporaneous artist or printer Thomas Bewick 1753-1828 was responsible for a renewed interest in wood engraving his virtuosity and prolific output in the medium raising its reputation in book production. And here his artworks are accompanied by those of his brother John 1760-95. The large scenes which gracefully depict the figures from the poems are accompanied by the small head- and tailpiece vignettes for which Thomas Bewick is best remembered the gently sentimental scenes of rural vistas and picturesque ruins perfectly offsetting the text. Our volume was beautifully printed on heavy Whatman paper by Bewick's friend the celebrated William Bulmer who in Glaister's words was "one of the best printers of the time striving to raise the standard of English typography. To this end he perfected his own ink used good paper and specially cut types." Ray praises the printing as well as the illustrations writing that "thanks to Bulmer this is by far the handsomest of contemporary volumes containing Bewick's work." Our copy in pleasing contemporary morocco is a particularly appealing example. W. Bulmer and Co. Shakspeare Printing Office unknown

The plates were drawn by Pieter de Swart 1709-1772 one of the most important Dutch architects of the 18th century and engraved by Simon Fokke 1712-1784. The second work shows the funeral procession which took place in Delft on the 23rd of February in 1759 with detailed illustrations of all the heralds riflemen guards etc. that took part in the ceremony. The plates for this work were drawn by artist Paulus Constantijn la Fargue 1729-1782 and also engraved by Fokke. The creators apparently suspected that counterfeit editions of the work might appear as the text at the end of the first work states that only copies signed by the bookseller would be considered real. The present copy is signed.Princess Anna of Hannover duchess of Brunswick-Luneburg was the eldest daughter of George II August later King of England as George II and Wilhelmina Charlotte of Brandenburg-Ansbach. In 1734 she married the Dutch Willem Karel Hendrik Friso 1711-1751 Prince of Orange and Stadtholder of Friesland. When in 1747 her husband became Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic as Willem IV the couple moved from Leeuwarden to The Hague and Anna became highly involved in politics. After the death of Willem IV in 1751 she became regent for her three-year old son the later Stadtholder Willem V. In this position she played a prominent part in the political life of the Republic defending the position of the House of Orange against the republicans.The edges and corners of the boards are somewhat scuffed the boards are slightly rubbed the spine is somewhat discoloured.

A Large Paper Copy. Cleveland Collections 557; Dunthorne 6; Sitwell "Great Flower Books" p. 67 69; Nissen BBI 18. ◆One plate with minor repair to fore-edge margin another with tiny rust hole not touching image half a dozen plates with insignificant smudges made during the printing process other trivial imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and wide-margined in a flawless binding.<br/> <br/> This is a major work of 18th century botany describing more than 2800 species of plants found in Italy's Piedmont region illustrating 237 previously unknown specimens and--crucially--classifying them all according to the new Linnean system becoming one of the first regional botanicals to use that taxonomy; as a bonus our copy comes in a particularly appropriate and charming binding with prominent botanical design elements. "Flora Pedemontana" was the chief work of Italian physician Carlo Allioni 1728-1804 professor of botany at the University of Turin and director of its natural history cabinet and botanical garden. The illustrations were drawn and engraved by the botanical garden's resident artist Francesco Peyroleri and his son Pietro. Our flora is also an important source of information on Alpine flowers. The modern binding is by an artisan who was proclaimed the "Grande Dame of French bookbinding" by the journal "Art & Métiers du Livre." Annie Boige trained at the Estienne School and at the Vésinet Applied Art Workshop before establishing her atelier in 1985. An art bookbinder she is noted for her monochrome color schemes and her use of beautiful leathers and vegetal materials a felicitous choice here. Michael Briolus unknown
