1st Edition. 225 x 143 mm. (8 3/4 x 5 1/2"). 222, [2] pp. (including half title and final leaf of ads). PRETTY OLIVE GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT, BY THE DOVES BINDERY (stamp-signed and dated 1895 on rear turn-in), covers ruled in gilt, corners with gilt lily and heart-shaped leaves on a stippled ground, raised bands, spine compartments with tulip sprig on a stippled ground, gilt lettering, gilt-ruled turn-ins with tulip and four leaves at corners, all edges gilt (joints renewed with outstanding skill). Granniss 54; Wise, pp. 55-56. For the binding: Tidcombe, "Doves Bindery" 187 (Pattern 354, book 720, tools 4d, E6, E7, and 3b). Rear board faded to two shades of brown (front cover with a hint of fading at two edges), upper margin with a hint of darkening right at edge, a dot of foxing here and there, but an extremely appealing copy nevertheless, clean and fresh internally, with excellent margins, and the very expertly restored binding lustrous and glittering with gilt. This is a winning combination of a Shelley masterwork in a fine, early binding from the premier English Arts & Crafts bindery. According to Day, "Prometheus" and the important appended shorter poems here comprise "the poet's single greatest volume and most of the poetry upon which his popular reputation is based." It also happened to be Shelley's favorite of his own works. Inspired by Aeschylus' tragedy "Prometheus Bound" about the Titan punished by Zeus for giving humans fire, it is a "closet drama"--poetry written in the form of a play but not intended to be performed. Shelley uses this framework to express his belief in the free, creative spirit of man, writing to his publisher that the poem is "of a higher character than anything [he had] yet attempted" and he stated elsewhere that it was "the most perfect of [his] productions." Also contained in the volume are some of Shelley's most famous short poems, including "Ode to the West Wind," "Ode to Liberty," and "To a Skylark." Our elegant binding is the work of one of the most influential English bookbinders of the modern era. In 1882, Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson (1840-1922) was a 42-year-old lawyer longing to do creative work with his hands when the wife of his friend William Morris encouraged him to try bookbinding; after having bound books on his own for about nine years, he founded the Doves Bindery in March of 1893 because his worsening health prevented him from continuing to work with his own hands. Although Cobden-Sanderson did not hand-bind many books, his impact on bookbinding in England cannot be overstated. Tidcombe's detailed and exhaustive catalogue lists just 167 examples of bindings produced by him, but through this small corpus of work, he "rejuvenated English binding" with his theories of design "and set it on a new course of development." (Morgan Library Exhibition catalogue) He continued to design bindings after 1893, and established the Doves Bindery to execute them, hiring Charles McLeish from Riviere and Charles Wilkinson from Zaehnsdorf as finishers, Bessie Hooley (also from Riviere) as sewer, and Douglas Cockerell as apprentice. Our early production of the bindery strikes a happy medium between the very animated all-over tooling the bindery sometimes displayed in the 1890s and the more austere style that typified the workshop's 20th century bindings (the bindery continued in operation until 1922). The delicate stippling, gracefully tooled fillets, and simple but pretty flowers provide just the right amount of adornment for the lustrous leather. Although the joints of the volume have been renewed, the work is so well done as to defy certainty about its repair. FIRST EDITION, Second Issue (with "Miscellaneous" spelled correctly on the contents leaf).…

First edition in the publisher's "Eversley Series" in an attractive binding by T. J. Cobden-Sanderson at his Doves Bindery. Tidcombe identifies this binding as pattern 463, and first used for the three volume edition of Arnold's Poems in December 1896. The volumes bear the bookplate of legal author Francis Beaufort Palmer (1845-1917). Described as "a noted company lawyer", his obituary in The Times stated "there was not a set of barristers' chambers or a solicitor's office in England in which his famous books were not to be found; and in Lincoln's Inn, where he had practised for many years, he was known as a draftsman without rival". A member of the Burlington Fine Arts club, he collected "many rare works of art, including a collection of old tapestry and Tanagra ware". Tidcombe 295. The Times, 16 June 1917, p. 9. 3 vols, octavo (175 x 116 mm). Contemporary crushed green levant by the Doves Bindery (signed on rear turn-ins and dated 1897), spines lettered and decorated with flower, oak leaf and dot design, five raised bands, covers with single rule and dot border in gilt, turn-ins with triple rules and floral cornerpieces in gilt, marbled endpapers, gilt gauffered edges. Armorial bookplates on front pastedowns of each volume. Minor loss to head of spines of vol 2 and 3, joints of vol 2 a little worn, restoration to joints of vol 3, some colour variance, occasional marks to edges, extremities rubbed in places, minor creasing to top corner of leaves in vol 3: a very good set.…

Tenth Edition. 189 x 125 mm. (7 1/2 x 5"). xv, [5], 269, [1] pp. ATTRACTIVE WALNUT BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT BY THE DOVES BINDERY (stamp-signed and with "19 C-S 01" on rear turn-in), covers with gilt-rule border punctuated with gilt dots, raised bands, spine compartments with central Tudor rose, trefoil cornerpieces, gilt titling, multiple gilt ruled turn-ins with three trefoils at corners, all edges gilt, and gauffered with two rows of tiny dots. With engraved calling card of American bibliophile and collector Julia Parker Wightman, inscribed with a gift presentation, laid in. For the binding: see Tidcombe, Appendix II, tools 2a and 6l-m. Spine sunned to a pleasing honey brown, but A LOVELY COPY, clean and fresh internally with no signs of use, in a lustrous binding. Previously owned by an eminent female bibliophile, this is a lovely example of the work of the leading Arts & Crafts movement bindery covering a copy of a curious and charming work by a man who helped inspire that movement. A distinguished critic of art and social issues, John Ruskin (1819-1900) had a considerable influence on the Pre-Raphaelites and the Arts & Crafts movement, as well as on social welfare policy. The present book is intended to awaken in young ladies a strong interest in some area of inquiry, and to encourage an earnest and systematic approach to study. Although the title and much of the content relate to the field of crystallography, the work has the broader goal of inculcating precepts about the conduct of one's life. It is told in the form of dialogue involving imaginary females, ages nine to 20, the characters being based on real persons to whom Ruskin lectured at a country girls' school. Although the content here is important, the binding is likely to be a greater source of interest to us. A leading figure in the Arts & Crafts movement and the renaissance of the private press, T. J. Cobden-Sanderson (1840-1922) took up bookbinding in the 1880s at the suggestion of William Morris' wife, Jane. Between July of 1884 and March of 1893, he bound 167 books (according to Tidcombe's exhaustive catalogue). Through this small corpus of work, Cobden-Sanderson "rejuvenated English binding" with his theories of design "and set it on a new course of development." (Morgan Library Exhibition catalogue) When his health prevented him from binding with his own hands, he established the Doves Bindery (named for a nearby pub) and hired Charles McLeish from Riviere and Charles Wilkinson from Zaehnsdorf as finishers, Bessie Hooley (also from Riviere) as sewer, and Douglas Cockerell as apprentice. Although at that point he relinquished the handwork, he continued to do all the binding designs himself. A previous owner of this work was the remarkable Julia Parker Wightman (1909-1994), a prominent New York book collector, trustee of the Morgan Library, longstanding member and president of the Hroswitha Club (established in 1944 for women bibliophiles in light of their exclusion from men-only groups), and one of the first women elected to the Grolier Club. Wightman put together one of the nation's finest collections of miniature books (which is now housed at the Morgan), amassed an impressive collection of bindings, and owned a number of incunabula, herbals, and Medieval manuscripts. Taking a page right out of Ruskin's book (so to speak), Wightman took a special interest in fine binding and studied the craft with American bookbinder Edith Diehl. She later converted the top floor of her townhouse into a studio where she created bindings and cases for some of her own books. …
