A propos de cet article

FRANKLYN, Julian. Shield and Crest: An Account of the Art and Science of Heraldry. London: MacGibbon & Kee, 1960. First edition, first impression. Octavo. Original burgundy cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Colour frontispiece, colour plates and numerous illustrations in the text, with a foreword by A. C. T. White. Churchill’s own copy, presented by the author and artist with an elaborately illuminated tribute celebrating “The voice and inspiration of the nation that saved the world.” The front free endpaper is addressed to “Sir Winston Spencer Churchill K.G.” in blue and gold capitals, above flowing black calligraphy and interlaced decorative borders. The dedication offers “This token of our unshakable admiration and inalienable support.” Julian Franklyn has signed beneath in green ink, with the artist Norman Manwaring named below. The elaborate lettering gives the presentation the ceremonial character of the heraldry within. On the facing pastedown are Randolph S. Churchill’s pictorial bookplate and the black “From the Library of Sir Winston Churchill” label. This posthumous provenance label, paired with Randolph’s bookplate, is characteristic of volumes inherited from his father’s library. The gift prompted a warm acknowledgement from Churchill. Writing from 28 Hyde Park Gate on 9 November 1960, he thanked the senders for the “beautifully produced” book and “the words with which you have inscribed it”. His acknowledgement was subsequently offered by RR Auction. The letter is illustrated for historical reference only and is not included with the book. Franklyn’s study explores the history, language and traditions of heraldry, illustrated with Manwaring’s colourful shields, crests, birds and beasts. Its printed dedication honours the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England. Illustrator: Norman Manwaring. Letter image credit: Image source: RR Auction, Fine Autographs and Artifacts, 22 March 2012, lot 166. Shown for historical reference only. The letter is not included in this sale.…

Description de la boutique

Arch Books is a specialist rare book business based in Richmond, London, dealing in first editions, fine bindings, travel and exploration books, illustrated books, military history, historical documents, and antique prints. We help private collectors, interior designers, gift buyers, and institutions source distinctive works on paper, with particular emphasis on condition, provenance, bibliographic accuracy, and presentation. Founded in 2020 by Guy Nathan, his own interest in collecting works on paper began in 2005, following a visit to the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair with his grandmother, Pauline Willes, herself a passionate collector. That experience ignited a lifelong fascination with historical documents, art, scientific illustration, military ephemera and literature. For someone with a deep interest in history, collecting offered a particularly tangible way to understand the past - not simply through the events themselves, but through the objects, images and words by which they were recorded and experienced at the time. Whether a scientific drawing, a piece of military ephemera or a work of literature, each provides its own direct connection to a particular moment in history. The thrill of holding a first edition of Shackleton’s South, for instance, lies in that sense of immediacy: experiencing the book much as its first readers did in 1919, and encountering his extraordinary story through the same pages that introduced it to the world.
