In October of 2015 Rollin Milroy wrote in the Heavenly Monkey blog "The cover paper is Roma Fabriano. It's a bizarre sheet in a patently non-HM color pink purchased for pennies on the dollar at the bankruptcy sale. The laid sheet probably machine-made doubtfully mould has an exaggerated screen side that makes it useless for printing. It's been in the studio for ages. But the color matches nicely with HM's newly acquired stock of bronze ink which will be re-appearing in the upcoming Harold Budd project" 10/12/15. Later in the month he wrote regarding the cover overlay paper "It's a lovely handmade gampi with the printed title positioned to perfectly overlay the same line on the Roma wrap. Because the gampi is so thin it's a little tricky fitting it around the book & getting it to stay in place - keeping the two lines in register - while sewing" 10/29/15.</p> Heavenly Monkey,

201816541Vancouver: Heavenly Monkey Press 2018 One of forty-eight copies done in three different formats. Series 3 is one of twenty-four copies out of a total edition of forty-eight copies. Bound in cream-colored paper over boards at the HM Studio. Quarto. . Series 3 with a leaf from both Rollenhagen'a Nucleus Emblematum Selectissimorum and Winter's Collection of Emblemes Ancient & Moderne. Series 1 contained four leaves including leaves containing the same engravings from Rollenhagen and Winter; Series 2 contained a leaf from Rollenhaben paired with the same plate on a Wither leaf. With illustrations ornaments and decorative initials. A fine copy. From the publisher Rollin Milroy: "The focus of Labour Vertue Glorie however is not the content or interpretations of the two authors' emblems but the production and form of the books from which these sample leaves come. To that end the book reprints three of Wither's prefatory notes from A Collection: one about William Marshall's engraved frontispiece one about the game of lots included in the book and "To The Reader" in which he discusses at length the book's creation and intent. Each of these is appended with comments from a variety of sources discussing and sometimes disputing the author's words. The comments also provide some insights to how Wither adopted and more importantly adapted Rollenhagen's original work for his own purposes. While not exact facsimiles the reprinted texts follow the original's use of swash characters and seemingly random combinations of roman italic and majuscule types. But only the reprinted texts; the rest of the book is set in a more traditional and calming manner. Heavenly Monkey Press, hardcover

Crease on bottom left corner not affecting image. Published in Vanity Fair 10 June 1871.The Tichborne case was a legal cause célèbre that captivated Victorian England in the 1860s and 1870s. It concerned the claims by an individual sometimes referred to as Thomas Castro or as Arthur Orton but usually termed "the Claimant" to be the missing heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. He failed to convince the courts was convicted of perjury and served a long prison sentence.Roger Tichborne heir to the family's title and fortunes was presumed to have died in a shipwreck in 1854 at age 25. His mother clung to a belief that he might have survived and after hearing rumours that he had made his way to Australia she advertised extensively in Australian newspapers offering a reward for information. In 1866 a butcher known as Thomas Castro from Wagga Wagga came forward claiming to be Roger Tichborne. Although his manners and bearing were unrefined he gathered support and travelled to England. He was instantly accepted by Lady Tichborne as her son although other family members were dismissive and sought to expose him as an impostor.During protracted enquiries before the case went to court in 1871 details emerged suggesting that the Claimant might be Arthur Orton a butcher's son from Wapping in London who had gone to sea as a boy and had last been heard of in Australia. After a civil court had rejected the Claimant's case he was charged with perjury; while awaiting trial he campaigned throughout the country to gain popular support. In 1874 a criminal court jury decided that he was not Roger Tichborne and declared him to be Arthur Orton. Before passing a sentence of 14 years the judge condemned the behaviour of the Claimant's counsel Edward Kenealy who was subsequently disbarred because of his conduct.After the trial Kenealy instigated a popular radical reform movement the Magna Charta Association which championed the Claimant's cause for some years. Kenealy was elected to Parliament in 1875 as a radical independent but was not an effective parliamentarian. The movement was in decline when the Claimant was released in 1884 and he had no dealings with it. In 1895 he confessed to being Orton only to recant almost immediately. He lived generally in poverty for the rest of his life and was destitute at the time of his death in 1898. Although most commentators have accepted the court's view that the Claimant was Orton some analysts believe that an element of doubt remains as to his true identity and that conceivably he was Roger Tichborne.
