"In the introductory note.Théo Schmied points out the natural happiness of the interconnection between his father's cultural tendencies and art of the book and the world of the Near East as it is filtered by the 'inspired' Mardrus translations.throwing light on the the two fundamental aesthetic coordinates we need in order to understand how the details are made subordinate by the elegant decorative unity expressed by the plates that is the purity of the Egyptian graphic art and the will of the Italian primitives. The layout shows either a text harmoniously arranged in respect of double and single plates of various size or a text framed by rules forming a variety of geometrical patterns and decorated by bout de lignes in sienna.

1862ST20857London: Edmund Evans for Sampson Low Son and Co 1862. ONE OF PERHAPS 10 COPIES PRINTED ON VELLUM. 260 x 195 mm. 10 1/4 x 7 3/4". vii 1 235 1 pp. <br/> Publisher's stiff vellum smooth spine with gilt lettering edges untrimmed. In a modern felt-lined blue buckram drop-back box. Decorative initials in red or blue title page and text leaves with full criblé border of vined foliation occasionally inhabited eight or 10 leaves with more extensive illustrations at head or foot all engraved by W. J. Linton after illustrations by John Franklin. Front pastedown with ex-libris of Marion Hope Rattey. A Large Paper Copy. McLean "Victorian Book Design" p. 184. Short thin cracks to head and tail of front joint spine vaguely soiled upper cover with two very small brown spots and one trivial red mark occasional mild rumpling or naturally occurring variations in the grain or thickness of the vellum as usual a couple of minor smudges but still a very agreeable copy the binding solid and without the splaying common in vellum books the interior clean fresh and bright and the margins extraordinarily wide.<br/> <br/> This is an infrequently encountered copy of a beautiful Victorian book on vellum issued by one of the era's top printers. The volume was printed by Edmund Evans 1826-1905 who is now best remembered for his illustrations and advances in color wood engravings. Relatively little is known about this book's production: Ruari McLean tells us that it was "entirely printed" by Evans but it is unknown whether he was responsible for the design as well McLean remarks that "if Evans was responsible for its design it shows his superiority in book-making". We also are unsure how many copies were printed on vellum although the general consensus is 10. Regardless as McLean tells us "it is one of the prettiest books of the 'sixties" with sharp deep impressions of the type on the rich creamy vellum jewel-like colored initials and elegant wood-engraved illustrations. These illustrations are the work of John Franklin ca.1800-68 a painter and draftsman who was highly respected in his own time. The precisely realized borders feature idealized human forms posed within a robust botanical largely acanthus context the figures posing with balletic grace their expressive faces often turned gently away from the reader. The size of the leaf here is significant: the untrimmed edges retain their tiny printing pinholes which would normally have been trimmed away with regrettable loss. And not surprisingly our vellum printing is almost never seen: we could trace just two copies at auction since 1924. Former owner Marion Hope Rattey 1922-97 was likely the daughter of bibliographer Clifford C. Rattey 1886-1970 whose impressive library featured incunabula and block prints.

"Presented to Joseph Allen Galbaith on the occasion of his marriage with Hannah Maria Bredin in the Collegiate Church of St Nicholas Galway on the sixteenth day of July 1850 fifty A.D. by his sincere friend Samuel Haughton". Galbraith Joseph Allen 29 November 1818 � 20 October 1890 professor of experimental philosophy and proponent of home rule was born November 1818 in Dublin the son of Richard Galbraith a merchant and Scottish presbyterian and his wife Rebecca. His father died in the 1820s after which he largely supported himself. Scientific researches into barometric pressure geology and the mathematics of pendulum-motion with respect of the rotation of the earth published in the RIA Proceedings succeeded his appointment as Erasmus Smith's professor of natural and experimental philosophy in May 1854. Together with his great friend Samuel Haughton qv he had previously initiated a hugely popular series of manuals on aspects of mathematics and physics to intermediate and undergraduate level. These were so concise and well structured as to be recommended as textbooks for English schools and colleges by the privy council. They did not go out of print until the 1900s and helped to end Galbraith's financial insecurity. During the Crimean war 1853�6 both friends also made a great reputation tutoring numerous students for the difficult army artillery and engineering exams. He became grand chaplain of the grand lodge of freemasons in the 1850s and worked as treasurer on the management committee of the masonic girls school in Donnybrook." - See Dictionary of Irish Biography.
