1891ST16866fLondon and New York: Printed by Cambridge University Press for Macmillan and Co 1891. From the "Golden Treasury" series. 210 x 133 mm. 8 1/4 x 5 1/4". xxiii 1 388 pp.Edited with notes and glossarial index by W. Aldis Wright M. A. Trinity College Cambridge. <br/> HANDSOME NAVY BLUE MOROCCO GILT BY RIVIERE AND SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with border composed of five plain rules and incorporating a scalloped corner configuration containing a pentagonal element raised bands spine intricately gilt in compartments outlined by plain and stippled rules enclosing an inner frame repeating the cover design and at the center an elaborate fleuron emanating from a floral tool and punctuated by many tiny dots turn-ins densely gilt maroon glazed endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Engraved frontispiece in three states and the title page with the same image in a fourth tissue guard before title page. A Large Paper Copy. Spine just slightly and uniformly sunned toward blue-green title page with faint offsetting from tissue guard another page with a small area of darkening from laid-in piece of paper one leaf with two tiny marginal tears expertly repaired one page with trivial foxing but all of these imperfections insignificant and in general a very fine copy in a most attractive binding the text uniformly fresh bright and clean and the binding lustrous and virtually unworn.<br/> <br/> This is a special luxury copy of a late 19th century edition of Bacon's famous "Essays" first printed in 1597. As Oxford Companion indicates the text here comprises Bacon's "collections of reflections and generalizations and extracts from previous authors woven together . . . into counsels for the successful conduct of life and the management of men." Some of the essays "deal with questions of state policy . . . some with personal conduct . . . some on abstract subjects such as 'Truth' 'Death' and 'Unity' . . . and some reveal Bacon's delight in Nature such as the pleasant essay 'Of Gardens.'" Day says that "in Bacon's hand the essay is an impersonal gem of worldly wisdom" and most of the essays reflect an intention to provide "cold-blooded instruction on how to get ahead in life." In short incisive prose modeled after Tacitus "the aphoristic skill and wise experience of Bacon unite to form some of the most memorable and penetrating phrases in English." DNB indicates that this is an important edition pointing out "the accuracy of Wright's text and the concise learning of its notes." In very fine condition our volume gives special pleasure from the handsomely decorated Riviere binding to the high quality laid paper to the carefully printed text within enormous margins. <br /> <br /> Riviere is one of the foremost names in English binding partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business until 1939.

1882WRCAM46974N.p. but Chicago 1882. 24pp. Narrow octavo. Original printed pictorial wrappers. Light soiling and wear vertical crease to center of pamphlet. Minor internal soiling. Just about very good. Promotional pamphlet for the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad Company advertising lands for sale in Nebraska. The cover claims "No state offers greater advantages in soil climate rail roads market facilities or grand opportunities to the farmer and stock raiser than Nebraska." The text commences on a high note: "This is the State whose latch string is out and offers homes and promises of prosperity to all who will come." The emphasis is agriculture and stock raising with glowing essays including "Great Grazing District" "Livestock in the State" "Orchards and Groves Planted" "The Pure Air of the Prairies" "The Herd Law - No Fences Allowed" "The Cheapest Lands in America" "Sheep Raising in Nebraska" "Education the Birthright of Every Nebraska Child" etc. OCLC lists two similar items each in a single copy: one at Yale with the imprint of Lincoln: State Journal Co. 1881; and one at the Huntington with the imprint of St. Louis: A. Gast 1881 The present copy has no imprint. A. Zeese & Co. the Chicago engraving firm who is attributed on the first map specialized in half tones zinc etching relief-line lithogravure and photoelectric type. Chicago seems to us the most likely place of printing for all the editions noted above. unknown books

He began his education in art as early as 11 years of age. His first job putting his talent and training to use came in the form of an apprenticeship with the Milwaukee firm Marr & Richards where he stayed for 3 years drawing and engraving on wood. The subsequent years included many moves from Milwaukee to Chicago and later to New York where he studied at ASL and was encouraged by Professor Packard to pursue a career as an illustrator at a European school. Nichols left for Munich in October 1885 to attend the Royal Academy where he studied under Heckel became a member of the American Club and socialized with Carl von Marr the clubs president.

He stayed in Laguna Beach until his death in 1939. hardcover books

18624410Paris 1862. Tinted lithograph 18 x 27 cms blank verso. From Vues de Londres by Charles Francois Riffardeau Duc de Riviere. An interesting technical feature of these views is the presence of tiny pinholes used to achieve correct register in overlaying the separate tints. These printers marks are usually to be found at the corners of the print but are here cleverly concealed in appropriate parts of the picture - on the bowsprit of a ship at the hub of a wheel the bullseye of a lantern or pierced through a childs balloon. The views themselves are lively and pleasing with bustling crowds in the foreground of each. Print unknown
