18171653311817. JAPANESE TEXTILE DESIGN. Shozoku shokumon zue. By Matsuoka Tokikata and Hinma Hyakuri. Seven volumes. Containing a total of 160 Japanese folded sheets illustrated with a profusion of colour woodcut-printed designs. 8vo. 268 x 193 mm bound in original Japanese paper wrappers stitched laid in a new Japanese folding chitsu case. Tokyo: 1817-1825. First Edition. A fine set of this important compendium of early Japanese textile design which is also a masterpiece of Japanese bookmaking. Matsuoka Tokikata began compiling the work in the late eighteenth century and it was completed by Honma Hyakuri early in the nineteenth century. The work is divided into five parts: I. Karginu: Colour designs of hunting clothing; II. Jokan: Costume design for court ladies; III. Reifuku: Ceremonial dresses; IV. Nishiki orimono: Designs on brocades; V. Gyoko: Costumes used for Imperial visits. The delicately coloured designs include many that are refined and subtle and many that are elaborate and ravishingly beautiful. The imagery is classical Japanese: a profusion of varieties fill the pages of these volumes with flowers birds bamboo rivers and flowing waters insects butterflies fish coloured patterns and blind-stamped ornaments. Of the greatest rarity. Some minor wear to wrappers but overall a fine set. hardcover books

1894013830Boston: Copeland and Day 1894. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Very Good. As stated on the colophon the first complete edition this one of 500 copies on French paper with lettering and decorations by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue in a custom inlay leather binding by Virginia Chester signed and dated 1911. Full dark green crushed morocco elaborately decorated front and rear covers and their versos aeg. Executed in Art Nouveau style perfectly appropriate to Goodhue's decorations. Signed by Chester with gilt pressed conjoined initials VC flanked by 19 and 11 for 1911 at the bottom of the rear inside cover. Spine moderately worn corners worn joints too more noticeably to front and shallow loss at spine ends more noticeably at top. Chester dropped out of university in Illinois in 1902 due to illness and took up bookbinding as a hobby. She never returned to college but continued professionally with bookbinding studying in Chicago with Gertrude Stiles in New York with Helen Haskell and in Paris with Henri Mulhae and Jules Domont. Around 1912 or so she returned to the Chicago and opened her own bookbinding studio in the Fine Arts Building. Penciled at the bottom of the fly leaf is perhaps her notes or a collector's: "Virgina Chester / Chicago/ 1024 Fine Arts Bldg/ code/ 11/28/13/ code". This binding appears to have been influenced by French design and technique. Copeland and Day hardcover

185055957London: Chapman and Hall 1850. 8vo. xi 1 216 pp. plus 32 pp. publisher’s catalogue. Steel-engraved frontisp. of Queen Victoria w/ nearly 200 woodcut text engravings designs & plates 30 Fabric paper and wallpaper samples 1 sample w/ small hole. Black ribbed publisher’s cloth gilt lettering & spine minor wear & fraying to spine rear outer joint minor bumping to corners some offsetting to a few leaves from the samples still a VG- copy. First edition thus of this famed journal which aimed to improve the standards of British manufacturers and artists for the decorative and applied arts targeting the fast rising Victorian British middle class. This second volume is dedicated to the Duchess of Sutherland Mistress of the Robes and close friend of Queen Victoria as well as prominent abolitionist. There are numerous references throughout to the forthcoming 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition as Cole 1808-1882 continually encouraged designers to reach a balance between utility and ornament and raise the quality of British manufacturing. He was elected the chairman of the Society of Arts in 1846 and was able to direct the organizing of the Exhibition which received over 6 million visitors and turned the profits from the Exhibition into founding the South Kensington Museum now the Victoria & Albert Museum. The Journal displays many samples of textiles wall papers embroidered textiles and silks. In addition there are extensive sections on pottery glass metalwork lighting sculpture furniture and much more. Of interest are the excellent articles on book arts book design including expositions by Ruskin the report on the forthcoming Exhibition to Prince Albert and more. These Journal volumes have become quite scarce in the market of late and they were all heavily used throughout the 19th century for reference and inspiration. Chapman and Hall, hardcover

187730067London: William H. Harrison 1877. Very Good. London: William H. Harrison 1877. First Edition. Octavo 18.5cm.; publisher's purple pictorial cloth designed by Florence Claxton elaborately embossed in gilt and black all edges gilt black glazed endpapers; iv5-156pp. Cloth a bit scuffed and worn along extremities with brief exposure at corners and spine ends spine cloth faded brief split to rear joint rear hinge cracked but holding textblock slightly shaken in binding else a Very Good bright example. <br /> Inscribed on front flyleaf to the American medium "Mrs. Hollis Billing With the kind regards of The Author / November 1879. London."<br /> <br /> Scarce collection of humorous poems and vignettes by the British author and editor of The Spiritualist. Running in the London Spiritualist circles Harrison would presumably have made the acquaintance of the inscribee American medium Mary Hollis Billing and her husband who served on the 1877 Committee of the Theosophical Society in London. <br /> <br /> Contents only glancingly Spiritualist though true to form the imprint provides the publication date based on different calendars: A.D. 1877 Popular Chronology; A.M. 5877 Torquemada; A.M. 50800077 Huxley. Like many Spiritualists of the day Harrison was especially interested in photography and several pieces in this volume relate to the art and science of the form. Notably "The Lay of the Photographer" describes in nineteen stanzas the chemical transformations of pyroxylin iodine and silver to develop photographs. Needless to say the poem is not very good.<br /> <br /> Advertisements for the present work attribute the cover design to British illustrator cartoonist and fringe Pre-Raphaelite Florence Claxton 1838-1920. One contemporary reviewer aptly describes the book as "handsomely-bound and griffin-guarded" Liverpool Daily Courier. William H. Harrison unknown
