cloth, dust jacket. small 4to. cloth, dust jacket. 272 pages. First edition. Fine in near fine jacket. This highly-researched work is the most authoritative account of the first and most famous private press of the 20th century - The Doves Press. Starting its operation in the wake of William Morris, the Doves Press became a majo…r influence in the development of modern book design. Marianne Tidcombe reveals the intriguing story of the cutting of the famous Doves Type, the printing of Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and The English Bible. Also included is the saga of Cobden-Sanderson's short and stormy partnership with Emery Walker. Recounted in detail, this blusterous relationship ultimately lead to a final episode where Cobden-Sanderson throws the Doves type into the River Thames to prevent it from falling into Walker's hands after his death. A detailed, descriptive bibliography of all the books and papers printed at the Doves Press along with a list of all ephemeral items is provided. Richly illustrated with 18 color and 124 black-and-white illustrations. Marianne Tidcombe has spent over thirty years researching the Doves Press. She is also the author of Women Bookbinders 1880-1920 (Oak Knoll Press 1996). Doves Press (illustrateur).

8vo. full limp vellum, gilt, later paper covered boards slipcase, chemise sleeve. 386, (3) pages. Limited to 325 copies printed by T.J. Cobden-Sanderson (Marianne Tidcombe, The Doves Press, 37-42, Catalogue Raisonne p.20; Ransom no.5&7), of which this is one of 300 copies printed on paper. Extremely minor and common foxing along… the few of the rear signatures. Some minor cracking to the outer edges of the vellum covers, else tight, bright, and unmarred housed in a later slipcase / chemise. Title and margin notes in red. Initials designed by Grayley Hewitt and Edward Johnston. The present work is one of Walker and Cobden-Sanderson's earlier productions, and certainty one of the highlights of the Doves Press. Bound by The Doves Bindery, with bookbinder's ticket on rear pastedown. After establishing the Doves Bindery in 1893, Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson partnered with Emery Walker to found the Doves Press in 1901. Alongside the Kelmscott, Ashendene and Vale presses it is considered one of the cornerstones of the Golden Age of Private Press, drawing heavily on the spirit of the Arts & Crafts Movement that flowered at the turn of the century. The two partners, along with Sydney Cockerell, created type based on Nicolas Jenson's Roman type (1470s), named the 'Doves Type.' Unfortunately, the relationship between the two partners deteriorated, resulting in said type being famously dumped in the Thames, where it languished until 2014, when it was rescued and subsequently digitalised. By 1909, Walker and Cobden-Sanderson were embroiled in a long and bitter dispute involving the rights to the Doves Type as they dissolved their partnership. In the dissolution agreement, all rights to the distinctive typeface were meant to pass to Walker upon the death of Cobden-Sanderson. But on Good Friday of 1913, Cobden-Sanderson destroyed the matrices by casting them off Hammersmith Bridge and into the Thames. He began destroying the types in August of 1916, and apparently completed the task in January 1917. Indeed, over the course of about 170 trips, Cobden-Sandersa small, frail, seventy-six year old manmanaged to carry more than a ton of type from 15 Upper Mall to the Thames. In 2015, designer Robert Greenwith help from the Port of London Authoritywas able to recover 150 pieces of the original type from the waters near Hammersmith Bridge. full limp vellum, gilt, later paper covered boards slipcase, chemise sleeve.

First Edition. 4to, pp.[2], 7, [1 (blank)], with preliminary and final blanks; printed in red and black in Doves type on laid paper watermarked 'CS EW 1902' and 'TJCS 1910'; small mark at foot of colophon, nonetheless a very good copy; bound in vellum by the Doves Bindery (stamp to lower pastedown), spine lettered directly in gi…lt, sewn with green thread on 4 tapes; vellum bowing slightly with a few scattered spots.One of 150 copies on paper of the elusive Pervigilium Veneris, a celebration of the spring festival of Venus Genetrix, here in the original Doves Bindery vellum, 'a triumph of simplicity and restraint' (Tidcombe). T.J.Cobden-Sanderson (18401922) established the Doves Bindery in 1893 and the Doves Press in 1900, the latter forming the 'triple crown' of private printing along with Morris's Kelmscott Press and Hornby's Ashendene Press. The distinctive Doves type, commissioned in 1899, had been promised by Cobden-Sanderson to his partner Emery Walker for use after his death; following the bitter dissolution of their partnership in 1909, however, he gradually and 'irretrievably committed [the type] to "the bed of the River Thames"' between August 1916 and early 1917, in the wish that the type should 'never be subjected to a machine other than the human hand'. The enigmatic origins of the Pervigilium Veneris have traditionally been dated to the reign of Hadrian and at times attributed to Florus, although its innovative style has led some to place it as late as the fourth century; Walter Pater rather fancifully imagined its composition by a young scholar under Marcus Aurelius. It is 'remarkable not only for its exquisite melody and romantic evocation of spring-time and its associations, but also as an experiment in a new form of poetry, making large use of assonance, recurrence of words and phrases, and even occasionally of rhyme, in anticipation of the accentual Latin poetry of a later age' (Oxford Companion to Classical Literature). The opening line and repeated refrain, 'Cras amet qui nunquam amavit, / Quique amavit cras amet' ('Let those love now who never loved before, / Let those who always lov'd, now love the more', trans. Thomas Parnell), is here accentuated in red ink, recurring after every four lines of the poem. An additional twelve copies were printed on vellum. See Tidcombe, p.64 ff. Language: Latin.

[PROVENANCE: From the collection of scholar and bibliophile Dr. Ernst Kyriss (1881 - 1974), with his discreet oval stamp to front free endpaper; Achilles Foundation, the collection of Edith and Barbara Achilles]. A very scarce copy of the vellum issue of the Doves Press' Keats in a highly accomplished binding of red morocco by Frieda Thiersch. From the edition limited to 212 copies, with this one of 12 examples printed on vellum. Apprenticed to the binder Charles McLeish who described her as the 'most skillful pupil we ever had . equal to any professional', Frieda Thiersch (1889 - 1947) was a prodigy: a highly talented, innovative and controversial binder. The daughter of a distinguished Munich-based architect, Frieda had a privileged upbringing before her seduction by her music master Ludwig Hess for a bet; the ensuing pregnancy caused her banishment to France for the birth of her child to avoid scandal. After the birth she was sent to London where she undertook an apprenticeship at McLeish & Sons that led to their endorsement and laid the foundations for her future as a binder. Thiersch clearly absorbed, along with the binding skills and knowledge of the McLeishs, the influence of the Doves Bindery: Charles McLeish Sr. had worked with Cobden-Sanderson from 1893 until the establishment of his own bindery in 1909. The austere but beautiful work with the emphasis on simple clarity with a highly restrained decor became a feature of Thiersch's own work and the signature of the many bindings designed by her and issued by the Bremer Press - she worked as the principal designer and her atelier was the principal bindery for the press - before the worsening economic situation in the late 1920s / early 1930s caused the press to close. Throughout the time she worked with the Bremer Press, Thiersch took commissions in her own right as the present binding, signed with her full name as opposed to her initials (when produced by an assistant) and likely produced in the late 1920s, attests. Thiersch exhibited her work internationally and showed books at the First Edition Club in London in 1929 (it is tempting to think that this binding was shown there), the World Exhibition in Barcelona in the same year, the Milan Triennale in 1930, 1933 and 1936 where she was awarded a gold medal and the Paris World Exhibition in 1937 where she was awarded another gold medal. Later in the 1930s Thiersch became associated with the German political establishment and undertook government contracts for the Nazis. Although she did execute personal commissions for, among others, Hitler, her own political views have never been established. The destruction of her archive and personal collection in a bombing raid in 1944, her death from lung cancer in 1947 and the confusion of the Second World War itself have ensured that both an aura of mystery has surrounded her work while adhering a considerable bibliophile cachet to it. Although Thiersch's bindings for the Bremer Presse are prized, even more so are the bindings that she undertook on commission. We can trace few of these, but notable examples are the luxusausgabe of 'Das Graphische Werk Max Pechsteins' (1921), Johanne Auerbach's 'Summa de Auditione Confessionis et de Sacramentis' (the second or third book printed in Augsburg probably in 1469 or 1470), Georg Martin Richter's unique copy of Thomas Mann's 'Walsengenblut' (1921) and Franz Liszt's copy of the first edition of Baudelaire's 'Les Paradis Artificiels' with a presentation from the author among others. [Tidcombe DP36; Tomkinson 58, 45].

Softcover. Etat : Sehr gut. From the 1899 Weimar Text. A near fine copy of 200 printed on paper from a total edition of 232 copies (32 on vellum). Description: Original full limp vellum with title in gilt on spine. Octavo: 24 × 17 cm; pp. 110, [1]. Printed in black and red on Doves handmade paper, top edge cut, fore and lower ed…ges trimmed. Inner pastedown stamped 'The Doves Bindery'. Provenance: Neat ownership inscription (Sutterlin script) to 2nd blank flyleaf: Ernst Bertram, Bonn 1924. Ref.: Cobden-Sanderson 1922, 141; Tidcombe DP28 Condition: Covers slightly soiled. Internally bright and clean, no browning to endpapers. Notes: Interest in Doves Press editions was very high in Germany. Therefore, after Shakespeare's plays, Cobden-Sanderson decided to print three plays by Goethe in the original German text: 'Die Leiden des Jungen Werther' (1911), 'Iphigenie auf Tauris' (1912) and 'Torquato Tasso' (1913). In addition, Cobden-Sanderson received requests from German dealers to increase both the number of copies on vellum and the number of special vellum copies with gold initials. The appetite in Germany for the finest editions seemed undimmed by the prices Cobden-Sanderson was forced to charge (Tidcombe 2002, 66). This led to the unusually high edition of 32 copies on vellum for 'Iphigenia on Tauris' (5 of them with gold initials) in addition to the rather moderate edition of 200 copies on paper.

Softcover. Etat : Sehr gut. "Cleanly printed from first to last" as Cobden-Sanderson remarked on 'Shelley'. A very good copy of 200 printed on paper from a total edition of 212 copies (12 on vellum). Description: Original full limp vellum with title in gilt on spine. Octavo: 24 × 17 cm; pp. 181. Printed in black and red on Doves… handmade paper, top edge cut, fore and lower edges trimmed. Inner pastedown stamped 'The Doves Bindery'. Ref.: Cobden-Sanderson 1922, 142; Tidcombe DP35 Condition: Volume is near fine, with clean boards, straight corners without rubbing. Pages tightly bound throughout, pages 102-103 and 106-[107] show some yellow discolourations (verso of gathering g1, obviously an incident during printing), edges slightly spotted. But otherwise, a very good, clean copy. Notes: The 'Shelley' print was a tough nut to crack. By May 1914, when Shelley was printed, Cobden-Sanderson had recovered from his long illness, but he had become over-sensitive about the quality of the presswork. He blamed his age for the imperfections he thought were there, and for his 'growing inability to energize the Press to its fingertips'. In the end, however, he found the prints were 'on the whole quite "all right" - cleanly printed from first to last' (Tidcombe, 2002). It is all the more surprising, given Cobden-Sanderson's pedantry, that a copy with such a paper defect should have come into circulation at all.

Limited to about 300 copies. 8vo. [4] pp, single sheet folded. Loose as issued in original printed wrappers. A fine copy of a scarce Doves Press publication. One of a series of small Doves Press pamphlets, grouped alongside related pieces. "On a Passage in Julius Caesar." was Cobden-Sanderson writing publicly about a specific te…xtual crux in the play.

ONE OF 250 COPIES. 9 1/2 x 6 3/4" 1 p.l., 12 pp. Original holland-backed blue-gray boards (stamp-signed The Doves Bindery to the rear pastedown), printed title. Printed in red and black. Page four with one correction in red ink, initialed "C. S." Front pastedown with Henry Young & Sons, Liverpool stamp. Rear flyleaf with Newbegi…ns, San Francisco bookseller's ticket. Tidcombe DP-27; Tomkinson, p. 57. Edges of boards somewhat browned, spine with a few areas of discoloration, corners a bit rubbed, but the fragile binding with no appreciable wear; fine internally. This is the second full-length catalogue put out by the Doves Press, recording their publications through 1911. As in the 1908 catalogue raisonné, this work includes remarks by Cobden-Sanderson about his approach, emphasis, and motivation. He begins by saying that his press was founded in 1900 "to attack the problem of pure typography, . . . keeping always in view the principle laid down in 'The Book Beautiful' that 'the whole duty of typography is to communicate to the imagination, without loss by the way, the thought or image intended to be conveyed by the author.'" Tidcombe notes that the British Library copy has the same correction as ours, initialled by Cobden-Sanderson. The lovely Doves typeface stands out on the bright, clean paper here, and the binding is well preserved, with none of the fraying that so often affects the cloth spine.
