A propos de cet article

First illustrated edition of the Poems, together with the first complete and illustrated edition of his longest poem, Italy, both with engravings from designs by J. M. W. Turner and Thomas Stothard. These copies are finely bound by Chivers in his superb "vellucent" style. Rogers visited Italy for the first time in 1814, and it was during this trip that he envisioned the concept for his famous poem. The first edition, of which Part I was published in 1821 and Part II in 1828, was not well received. Rogers therefore reissued it in this luxury format, for which he engaged Stothard and Turner as illustrators. Stothard's figure scenes are considered "perhaps the climax" of his illustration (ODNB). The popularity of this new edition of Italy, a Poem led Rogers to commission a similar version of his Poems, illustrated by Turner. The artist, "himself a writer of poetry and clearly very sympathetic to that of Samuel Rogers, created some of his most telling images for these two beautiful books, which established him as the leading illustrator of the day" (ibid). Chivers (1853-1929), one of the most successful bookbinders of the turn of the century, developed a new and distinctive technique for binding books in the 1890s: his elaborate cover designs were painted on paper and then covered by vellum, which had been treated to become translucent ("vellucent"). Chivers patented his method in 1898 and used it to create some of the most beautiful books of the fin de siècle, and his style became closely associated with the arts and crafts movement. 2 vols, small quarto (200 x 135 mm). Engraved vignettes after J. M. W. Turner and Thomas Stothard throughout, with tissue guards. Early 20th-century brown morocco by Chivers, spines lettered in gilt, spines and front boards decorated in gilt with yellow morocco onlay, front boards with vellum window inlay hand-painted and gilded in Chivers's distinctive "vellucent" style, gilt floral tool to corners of turn-ins, cloudy marbled endpapers, top edges gilt, fore and bottom edges uncut. Bindings bright and square, contents sporadically foxed. Very good copies, presenting excellently in their bindings. …
