Spine and edges of boards sunned to a medium brown as expected with green leather a breath of rubbing to spine bands and extremities isolated thumbing but still a fine copy--clean and fresh internally and in a scarcely worn binding bright with gilt.<br/> <br/> This engaging account of Southwest England features a harmoniously designed binding by an important workshop. Our author British civil servant and writer Arthur Hamilton Norway 1859-1938 had an extremely varied literary output which included fiction travelogues and literary analysis. In the present work part of a "Highways and Byways" series produced by the Macmillan Company the author provides a delightful journey through the landscape history and folklore of his native Devon and neighboring Cornwall. The text is accompanied by a charming series of illustrations by Joseph Pennell 1857-1926 and Hugh Thomson 1860-1920; these alternate between cheerful sketches of the towns and scenery and romantic caricatures of the historic locals. The attractive binding is a fine example of the work of the Zaehnsdorf firm long a top-ranked English bindery. Born in Pest Hungary Joseph Zaehnsdorf 1816-86 served his apprenticeship in Stuttgart worked at a number of European locations as a journeyman and then settled in London where he was hired first by Westley and then by Mackenzie before opening his own workshop in 1842. His son and namesake took over the business at age 33 when the senior Joseph died and the firm flourished under the son's leadership becoming a leading West End bindery. Over the years Zaehnsdorf employed a considerable number of distinguished binders including the Frenchman Louis Genth who was chief finisher from 1859-84 and trained a number of others including Roger de Coverly and Sarah Prideaux. A family-run business until 1947 the Zaehnsdorf bindery continued to produce consistently attractive and innovative designs executed with unfailing skill. Here a complex design of softly curving foliage and bright flowers mirrors the serene countryside described in the book's pages. The bookplate is most likely that of American heiress Ophelia Fowler Duhme 1854-1921 who had a handful of attractively illustrated bookplates made for her throughout her collecting life.

Publisher's 3/4 blue roan leather over marbled boards gilt spine lettering. Front endpaper with strange discoloring and a bit of rubbing to leather but overall a very good copy with a fine inscription by the author.Inscribed by the author son of Pierre Barlow Cornwall. "To my warm friend Milton Eisner Bruce Cornwall." Milton Daniel Eisner was born in San Francisco on July 15 1886. His father Milton S. Eisner was a prominent San Francisco attorney his mother Lena Reinstein Eisner was a member of a prominent San Francisco family her brother Jacob B. Reinstein having served as a Regent of the University of California at the turn of the century. Both of Eisner's parents were native Californians.P. B. Cornwall was an adventurous fellow. In April of 1848 he set out from St. Joe to California. "The narrative records the encounter with the Mormons four thousand strong under Brigham Young at Council Bluffs following the expulsion from Nauvoo; the capture of Cornwall and his companions by Indians; their final escape and arrival at Fort Laramie" Eberstadt 114. They eventually made it across the Rockies but lost their guide Fallon to Native American depredations. Using Fremont's map they crossed the desert and the Sierra Nevada Mountains and arrived in California. Upon their arrival they were $8000 in debt but by the end of their first year had acquired $500000. Pierre Cornwall went on to lead a very active political life in early California. "The Black Diamond Coal Mining Company the Uellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad the California Electric Light Company and the Mutual Electric Light Company were organized or promoted by him. He had a wide grasp on commercial problems and remarkable foresight and his ventures . were correspondingly satisfactory. Active in business Mr. Cornwall found time for attending to other interests. Never seeking office for himself he was a hard worker for the success of Republicanism in California. He was chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. He was the last surviving member of the first California Legislature and also of the first California constitutional convention. He was a president of the Society of California Pioneers and a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California." San Francisco Call; 9/26/1904. A. M. Robertxon hardcover

181219588Flushing Queens 1812. Very good condition. Obligation dated March 24 1812 Flushing Township in Queens County New York. Regarding $300 owed to James Cornwall of the City of New York and signed by Charles P Cornwall although the signature is torn away. Witnessed by Robert W. Rumsey and George Perry. Notes in pencil on verso showing payment of $285.08 in 1826. 7 1/2 x 12 1/2" folded. <br /> <br /> Charles P. Cornwall was a large landowner in Queens in the early 1800s with Bayside Farm being the most valuable of his properties. In 1838 Cornwall named Thomas Whitson and John Nostrand his neighbors as trustees empowered to sell as much of his real estate as was needed to cover his debts and to lease the rest of it to cover his living expenses. They sold Cornwall's Bayside Farm for $15000 to Samuel Willetts of New York in 1838. The trustees using some of the assets from the sale then made a loan to Elisha Hall of Newburgh NY for $6000. Cornwall died in 1839 Hall failed to repay the interest or principal and the trustees were sued. The case gives an interesting perspective on the value of property in Queens at the time: "His Cornwall's preference for farms over city property differs from the opinion of most well informed and shrewd capitalists; but it may nevertheless be well doubted whether a farm situated in a populous neighborhood and near several great thoroughfares is not safer for a permanent investment than any city property".
