Ajouter au panierFirst edition hard back binding in publisher's original elaborately gilt decorated cobalt blue cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, spine and front, all page edges gilt, bevelled edges. Bound by Bone & Son, 76 Fleet Street, London. Quarto. 10'' x 8¼''. Contains red and black printed title, the text block and poe…ms being printed on thick card stock. With 35 wonderful (the re-published edition with 28 plates) full-page single-sided black and white engravings by Arthur Boyd Houghton, the engraved illustrations from famed Victorian era wood engravers and illustrators George and Edward Dalziel. Like George du Maurier, who was a friend of his, Arthur Boyd Houghton had been afflicted by the loss an eye when he was young. However, he continued to paint as well as illustrate: among his paintings were charming paintings of family life, some jewel-like pictures of children, and some small, slightly disturbing works depicting street scenes (Lambourne 371, 183, 133). Lengthy pencil note to the front paste down 'Xmas 1865 - This year also saw 'Home Thoughts and Home Scenes', a book with 35 drawings of children by A. Boyd Houghton by Routledge, 1865, which was afterwards republished as 'Happy Day Stories'. This book is absolutely essential to any representative collection of the period, but nevertheless its designs can hastily be regarded as among the artists masterly works. Houghton is said to have taken more pains over these drawings than any others. His style in them is as far removed as possible from his later impressions, therefore the book is essential to a collection of his work.' Spine repaired with webbing exposed to the spine edges, plate number 6 with bottom corner missing, 'Age and Youth' poem with tear to the top edge, 'The Sports of Childhood Show the Future Man' poem with repaired tear across the centre of the leaf, heavy foxing to the front and rear end papers and to the margins of the plates and text block. Extremely scarce. Member of the P.B.F.A. ILLUSTRATED (Picture Book).

The paintings depict "Berkhampsted. Cowper's Birthplace" & "East Dereham Churchyard. Cowper's Burial Place" Two very Fine examples of Edwards of Halifax bindings with two exceptionally fine early twentieth century fore-edge paintings. Edwards of Halifax was distinguished English (Yorkshire) family of bookbinders and booksellers, of whom William Halifax (1723-1808) and his son James (1756-1816) were the most famous. William Halifax was known for his revival of the fore-edge painting and Etruscan calf bindings, the latter, which, if not evolved by William, were successfully adopted by him. He also redeveloped the art of painting under transparent vellum. All three specialities seem to have been carried on both in the Edwards' home town of Halifax, where Thomas (1762-1834), another son, was in business until 1826 and in London, where James and John (1785-c 1791) opened a book store in 1784. Gladys McKenney Molony (1907-1996). Born in Toledo, Ohio she received her B.A. at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1930 she married William R. Molony, Jr., M.D., and moved to Los Angeles, CA. She was a patroness of the Los Angeles Museum of Art and the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera. She donated her fine collection of Fore-Edge Paintings to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in 1967. A catalog of The Gladys McKenney Molony collection of fore-edge paintings in the Rare Book Room, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Library was apparently issued in 1973. Provenance: William E. Henzel, Chicago Ill; Valentine Miller; Mrs. Philip D. Sang; Gladys McKenney Molony presented to the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Library, Indiana (November 1986).

Ajouter au panierAn imposing Bible, handsomely bound by Edwards of Halifax in their celebrated "Etruscan" style. The set is unusual in featuring motifs relevant to the contents on all three fore-edges - scenes from the Old and New Testaments - as opposed to the more typical landscapes. Edwards famously almost never signed their bindings and thei…r style was very frequently reproduced by others. This set is cited by Weber in his Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Paintings as "a notable Bible from the Edwards bindery" (Weber 2010, p. 118-9), and it is used as an example in a chapter devoted to distinguishing genuine Edwards bindings and paintings from imitations. The technique of concealing a painting under the gilt fore edge of books was revived in England by William Edwards about 1780. "The Edwards family not only carried on the art, but enlarged it from the mainly floral and heraldic early efforts, with occasional religious scenes and royal portraits, to embrace views of well-known country houses set in landscapes" (Marks, p. 194). They were the originators of the bucolic English fore-edge painting, which became standard in the 19th century. Scholars believe that the paintings were made in Halifax (rather than in London) by artists both within and outside the family and under the supervision of Thomas Edwards. Inspiration for the images was taken from various sources, often engravings appearing in other books; for landscapes, the favourite artist was William Gilpin, a pioneer of the "picturesque". Volume I features a moment from Genesis: Abraham welcoming three angels into his home, an act of hospitality which moved the Lord to bless Abraham and his wife with a son, despite she was far beyond childbearing age. On Volume II is an episode from Exodus: an Egyptian princess and her attendants discover the infant Moses in the bulrushes of the Nile. Volume III displays an animated scene from the life of St. Paul, as he preaches in Rome. The "Etruscan" style binding, with a border of palmettes and other classical ornaments stencilled in black on brown calf, was one of the firm's most popular designs. The origin of this style is debated: some 19th-century writers attributed the invention to John Whitaker, while others ascribe it to the Edwards firm. It is known that Edwards employed it from at least 1775. Provenance: a) Herman Frasch Whiton, probably the American sailor and Olympic champion (1904-1967), with his elaborately designed bookplate featuring his arms and a ship on the verso of an initial blank in each volume. b) Randall J. Moskovitz, MD, American collector from Memphis, Tennessee, with his bookplates loosely inserted. P. J. M. Marks, "The Edwards of Halifax Bindery", British Library Journal, vol. 24, no. 2, 1998; Jeff Weber, Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Painting Artists & Binders, 2010. See also: G. E. Bentley, The Edwardses of Halifax, 2015; Carl J. Weber, Fore-Edge Painting, 1966. 3 vols, large quarto (306 x 238 mm). Contemporary "Etruscan" calf by Edwards of Halifax, spines with raised bands, compartments tooled in gilt with flower and urn centerpieces and pediment cornerpieces, black morocco labels, covers with gilt pentaglyph and metope border, stencilled frame of palmettes, central panel of tree calf enclosed by gilt Greek key roll, board edges and turn-ins tooled in gilt, marbled endpapers, each vol. with a contemporary fore-edge painting depicting a Scriptural scene, edges gilt, green silk bookmarkers.

A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Christopher Turnor, Stoke Rochford Library. Lowndes 370; ESTC T153718 (but with a variant title page). Front cover with a couple small areas of lost patina from insect activity, rear cover just slightly marked, upper corners a bit bumped, faint freckled foxing in the margins (more noticeable on the first two leaves), slight offsetting of engravings on facing blank versos. A few condition issues, but still a very attractive book, the lovely binding retaining virtually all of its antique appeal, and the contents with nothing approaching a significant problem. This is an excellent, atypically large example of an Edwards of Halifax binding, enhanced with a most appealing early fore-edge painting depicting one of the castles pictured in this attractive quarto edition. Scottish surgeon and antiquary Adam de Cardonnel (1746/7 - 1820) wrote and illustrated the present work "to preserve from oblivion the ancient remains of Caledonian splendour." Originally intended as a supplement to the popular "Pennant's Tour" of Scotland, it appeared in four parts, the first two in 1788 (in a few different forms, including an octavo edition), and the second two published in 1793. The fore-edge painting features Craigmillar castle, a Medieval fortress located a few miles from Edinburgh, whose most famous guest was Mary, Queen of Scots. One of her stays resulted in the so-called "Craigmillar bond," which set in motion plans to dispatch Mary's husband, Henry Stuart. By the late 18th century, the castle had fallen into disrepair, and it appears in the present painting as an idyllic ruin, with sheep and cows grazing in the fore-ground, and the city with Edinburgh Castle rising in the distance. The Edwards of Halifax bindery was founded by William Edwards (1723-1808) and continued by several of his brothers, half-brothers, and sons (by far the most important of the sons being Thomas, who lived from 1762-1834). This famous firm produced a number of important innovations in binding design, the most significant being the idea of concealing a painting under the gilt of the fore edge. This hidden treasure could be revealed, once the edge was fanned out, as a special surprise element of the volumes the Edwards firm bound--typically in Etruscan calf, as here, or in their patented transparent vellum. Although bindings produced by the Edwards workshop are almost never signed, the present item is surely Edwards' work, as indicated by the characteristic binding style and by the fact that our volume was actually sold by the Edwards firm. As usual, there is no clear way to assign a precise date to the painting; while it is not done in the soft grays that can be firmly associated with the earliest Edwards examples, it clearly is a painting done before 1850. While fore-edge paintings likely produced at the Edwards bindery (and especially produced by their imitators) appear in the marketplace with some regularity, most offered are octavo or duodecimo in size. Of the fore-edge pa.
