ALBUM VERSES: WITH A FEW OTHERS

1830ST15812London: Edward Moxon 1830. FIRST EDITION. 188 x 118 mm. 7 3/8 x 4 5/8". vii 1 150 pp. 1 leaf ads. SUPERB NAVY BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT AND INLAID BY DE SAMBLANX-WECKESSER stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with intricate gilt frame of trumpet vines bearing 36 inlaid scarlet flowers and buds raised bands spine gilt in compartments with inlaid trumpet flower at center gilt titling turn-ins framed with gilt vine navy blue moiré silk endleaves marbled flyleaves all edges gilt. In a slightly worn marbled paper slipcase. Title page with engraving of a putto composing verses. Front flyleaves with bookplates of Edwin Holden dated 1894 and John Whipple Frothingham. Wise Ashley Cat. III 52; Thomson p. 76. A hint of rubbing to front joint occasional mild browning due to paper quality but A FINE COPY clean and fresh internally and in a lustrous binding. In a lovely Art Nouveau binding by a Belle Époque master this is a collection of poems assembled by essayist Charles Lamb 1775-1834 to launch the publishing career of his friend and future son-in-law Edward Moxon 1801-58 to whom he dedicated the work. Composed of rather slight verses composed for the amusement of Lamb's friends and of more substantial works previously printed in periodicals this first book bearing Moxon's imprint did well enough to attract the business of other prestigious poets many of them friends of Lamb. Moxon who married Lamb's adopted daughter Emma Isola in 1833 went on to print the works of Wordsworth Shelley Tennyson and other luminaries of the Victorian era. The graceful binding is by Belgian master craftsman Charles de Samblancx or Samblanx 1855-1943 who began his binding career at age 11 as an apprentice to Coppens. He eventually established his own firm though from 1889-1909 his gilder Jacques Weckesser was in partnership with him. His binding career extended over several decades and he worked in a variety of period styles sensitively reproducing the bindings of previous centuries. His work often involving great complexity of design is invariably executed with the highest degree of skill. Our copy was once owned by American bibliophile and Grolier Club president Edwin Holden 1861-1906. Edward Moxon unknown

ELIA. ESSAYS WHICH HAVE APPEARED UNDER THAT SIGNATURE IN THE LONDON MAGAZINE

1823ST19567-072London: Taylor and Hessey 1823. FIRST EDITION First State imprint with single address for publisher. 200 x 125 mm. 8 x 5". 2 p.l. 341 1 pp. 3 leaves ads. VERY PRETTY DARK GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT BY RIVIERE & SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with double frames formed of floral sprigs drawer handles and other small tools raised bands spine panels densely gilt with stippling floral tools radiating from small central flower gilt lettering turn-ins with floral garlands at corners olive green watered silk endleaves top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Ashley III 50; Tinker 1457. Spine darker green than the covers though not at all noticeable in the four compartments that are almost solidly gilt front joint a little rubbed and with two-inch thin crack at top final leaf of ads with repaired curving two-inch tear into text isolated small stains or faint foxing but still very attractive--clean and fresh internally in a very lustrous binding sparkling with gilt. This is a handsomely bound copy of Lamb's largely autobiographical essays that embrace the broad subject of mankind at large as seen through the author's own experience and impressions. As Oxford Companion says Lamb's essays "present with exquisite humor and pathos and in a brilliant and inimitable style characters that the author has known . . . the productions of a playful or melancholy fancy . . . and general comments and criticism." The name "Elia" as Lamb says was "clapt down" on these essays in honor of a fellow clerk at South Sea House a building of commercial offices and the subject of the first essay. A second collection "The Last Essays of Elia" appeared in 1833. Charles Lamb 1775-1834 worked in the office of the East India Company and wrote poetry essays and plays. With his sister Mary he was the author of "Tales of Shakespeare" a flowing and lucid prose rendition of 20 of the bard's dramas that helped rekindle 19th century interest in the plays. The strikingly attractive binding done in an elaborately gilt style reminiscent of the Roger Payne era is the work of Riviere one of the foremost names among English binderies 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 under the Riviere name until 1939 when it was acquired by Bayntun.

THE LIFE AND WORKS OF CHARLES LAMB

1900ST14309Boston: R. H. Hinckley Company ca. 1900. Edmonton Edition. No. 56 OF 100 COPIES on Japanese vellum. 240 x 150 mm. 9 3/8 x 5 7/8". 12 volumes. HANDSOME DARK PURPLE CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT triple gilt-ruled border with sprays of flowers in each corner and along the sides raised bands compartments with gilt lettering and tooling top edge gilt RED MOROCCO DOUBLURES bordered in purple border featuring several gilt rules and scrolling gilt tools in panel corners red watered silk endpapers. With portrait frontispieces and numerous gravure plates. Limitation statement of first volume with the initials of the printer D. B. Updike of the Merrymount Press; flyleaf of each volume with morocco ex-libris of Francis Kettaneh. Extremities with the occasional tiny nick spines slightly sunned covers with a few negligible scratches a few pages with light thumbing in the margins but all of these blemishes trivial. A FINE SET INSIDE AND OUT. This finely bound finely printed and strictly limited set includes the biography prose letters essays and poetry of "the prince of English essayists." According to Day Charles Lamb contributed to the essay form by concentrating on feeling rather than thought by projecting a fuller sense of self into the work and by imbuing his text with a poetic or lyrical quality. Lamb was also an accomplished poet writing in both rhyming and blank verse as well as a friend to many of the leading literary figures of the Romantic period--his correspondents include Wordsworth Southey Hazlitt and Coleridge whom he had known since childhood. Lamb's letters by turns witty and meditative reveal a life of intense reading and writing at a time when British literature was undergoing a radical transformation. Charles Lamb 1775-1834 was educated at Christ's Hospital and at 17 joined the East India House where he worked from 1792-1825. In 1796 Lamb's sister Mary stabbed and killed their mother with scissors in a fit of insanity. Charles took on her care as well as serving as sole support for a dying aunt and a prematurely senile father. Nonetheless Lamb and his sister were devoted to one another and lived long and productive lives publishing together the wildly popular "Tales from Shakespeare" 1807 and "Mrs. Leicester's School" 1809 both of which are included here. Though unsigned the bindings are extremely attractive and fittingly luxurious for the limited-edition contents--the thick gilt tooling luxurious doublures and red silk endpapers housing tactilely pleasing Japanese vellum make this set a delight both to have and to hold.
