19159655Wilmington NC: Harriss Printing & Advertising Co 1915. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 8 pp. illus. As issued in printed wrappers. Only minor soiling and wear to the wrappers. A nice copy of an uncommon and perhaps the first separate edition. <br /> <br /> Lamb's narrative was originally printed in Battles & Leaders 1887-8 see Dornbusch II 737. University of Virginia identifies this present edition as "1890 " but it is certainly a 20th century publication. Our research suggests that Harriss Printing & Advertising was active under that name from 1912 to the early 1920s. One may speculate this edition was issued in 1914 around the semicentennial of the battle. Whatever the case this is an extremely uncommon edition and likely the first separately printed of this interesting narrative of the North Carolina 2nd Artillery.

19046493London: J.M. Dent & Co 1904. Fifth edition. Near Fine. Two volumes bound in one small octavo 180 x 105 mm. xxii 294 1 imprint 1 blank; xii 254 1 imprint 1 blank pp. Two engraved frontispieces and one hundred and sixty-two black & white illustrations including decorative head and tailpieces all by Charles E. Brock. Bound ca. 1905 by Cedric Chivers stamp-signed in gilt on rear lower turn-in. Bound in handsome green morocco with decorative gilt floral patterns on the front board encircling a "vellucent" title label. Spine with gilt titles and art nouveau floral pattern. All edges gilt pale green end papers. Spine toned previous owner's gift inscription on the first blank otherwise a fine copy overall.<br /> <br /> Patented in 1898 Chivers's "vellucent" bindings departed from traditional methods of creating hand-painted vellum bindings. The usual approach was to merely bind a book in vellum and then paint on a design but this is prone to rubbing and flaking and such examples are often now found chipped and deteriorated. In the 18th century Chivers's great predecessor Edwards of Halifax painted in reverse on the underside of translucent vellum thereby providing a layer of protection for the design. His technique was not widely copied and almost vanished with his death and it was not until the 1890s that Chivers developed his own similar method for protecting the design underneath the vellum itself - the backing sheet of the vellum was painted which was then covered in vellum which had been shaved to transparency. The vellum was then tooled in gilt on occasion incorporating additional mother-of-pearl and onlays. The books which Chivers thus bound have always been a favorite of collectors and usually still present well the vellum having served its purpose of protecting the design for many decades as Chivers intended. Chivers was also known to have employed a great many craftswomen at his bindery in Portway: "forty women for folding sewing mending and collating work and in addition five more women worked in a separate department to design illuminate and colour vellum for book decoration and to work on embossed leather. These five were Dorothy Carleton Smyth Alice Shepherd Miss J.D. Dunn Muriel Taylor and Agatha Gales" Tidcombe.<br /> <br /> This book brings together Charles Lamb's Essays of Elia first published in 1823 with the subsequent volume Last Essays of Elia issues in 1833.
