Tall 8vo. Limited edition. #122 of 160 copies. Original oasis green morocco-backed vellum, with geometric decorative border and title in gilt. Top edges gilt, others uncut. Transparent wrappers, together in a brown board slipcase, with morocco tips, and preserved in modern brown cloth folder and another slipcase. Text in Latin, Italian and English. Printed on Magnani mould-made paper with goose watermark (like that of the original edition). List of woodcuts and prospectus loosely inserted. 68 (of which 66 are full page) woodcut illustrations by Anna Bramanti after Liberale da Verona, all hand-coloured after a copy of the 1479 edition in the British Museum by the Atelier Daniel Jacomet of Paris. Fine. 'Giovanni Alvise, the third early printer in Verona, was active between 1478 and 1480. With his Aesop he produced one of the most beautiful illustrated books of the fifteenth century. He was also the inventor of the first typographic ornaments, cast like letters in lead and so distinguishing his books from others. Newly cut by Charles Malin, they recur in our edition, whose essential attraction are sixty-eight woodcuts which in a masterly re-cutting by Anna Bramanti illustrate the fables [.]The delightful illustrations which adorn the text were hand-coloured after printing. A copy in the British Museum, which is by far the most beautiful among the few surviving coloured ones, served as the model. Its woodcuts were not merely coloured with a few strong accents in the primitive manner customary in the fifteenth century, but with a rich scale of colours and shadings that remind one of illuminated miniatures. Only a great master can have created the designs for the vivid scenes, and from the outset he must have had colours in mind that would bring the linear woodcuts to life.' Giovanni Mardersteig, The Officina Bodoni (1980) p.173. 'In many respects this work was the culmination of Mardersteig's endeavour during half a century as a printer, art historian, and discoverer.' Hans Schmoller in his Introduction to the above. From the collection of Eric Sweet (1929-2024) a keen collector of Fable and Private Press books from his youngest years until his 90s, and a lifelong student of the book arts: paper, type, illustration and bookbinding. His career began at Brighton College of Art in the 1950s. He then spent some years in London as a lettering artist and typographer for various advertising agencies before a move to Birmingham where he became head of the Birmingham School of Printing. The folder and outer slipcase are by him.…

First Officina Bodoni edition, number 86 of 160 copies on handmade Magnani paper. The Officina Bodoni was founded in 1922 by Hans Mardersteig and his press became the most important 20th-century private press on the Continent. This edition was published to mark the fiftieth anniversary of its founding. John Barr notes that this edition was Mardersteig's "reinterpretation of a fine illustrated book printed in Verona in 1479 by Giovanni Alvise. For the Officina Bodoni edition the original woodcuts were. recut by a contemporary engraver and coloured by hand". This copy includes five leaves of prospectuses, issued by the press or The Bodley Head who were the sole agent for distribution in the UK. It is recorded that 70 copies each were reserved for The Bodley Head and the Chiswick Book Shop, Sandy Hook, Connecticut. All other copies were reserved for the Officina Bodoni.

Etat : Fine. Limited Edition. Octavo, 9 7/8 x 6 1/2 in (250 x 165 mm); 2 volume set in slipcase. Vol. 1, pp. 280, with 68 hand-colored woodcuts; Vol. 2, pp. 120. Set in Centaur type and printed on hand-made Magnani paper with goose watermark. Original morocco-backed vellum, with strapwork border and title in gilt, t.e.g., remaining uncut; number 146 of 160 sets; text in Latin, Italian and English. Woodcut illustrations by Anna Bramanti after Liberale da Verona, ALL HAND-COLOURED AFTER A COPY OF THE 1479 EDITION IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM BY THE ATELIER DANIEL JACOMET OF PARIS, list of woodcuts loosely inserted. [Mardersteig, 182]. An exquisite and beautifully-executed edition of Aesop's FABLES, richly illustrated with newly-cut wood engravings after a copy of the 1479 edition in the collection of the British Museum whose woodcuts are attributed to Liberale da Verona (1441-1526). The illustrations are beautifully carved and hand-colored with a rich scale of colors and shadings that remind us of illuminated miniatures. The Latin text comes from the Giovanni Alvise 1479 edition and was translated from the Greek by the Veronese poet Accio Zucco, who possibly also used some earlier medieval translations. Each fable is followed by two sonnets by Zucco: the first tells the story (Sonetto materiale) and the second point the moral of the fable (Sonetto morale). For this edition the Latin and Italian texts were revised by the philiologist Giovanni Battista Pighi. The second volume contains the William Caxton translation (1484) into English of the first 60 fables. The remaining 6 fables are here translated from Latin by Betty Radice. Prefatory note by Tanya and Hans Schmoller who carried out the revision of the text. Vol. 1 frontispiece: "THE FABLES OF AESOP. Printed from the Veronese edition of MCCCCLXXIX in Latin verses and the Italian version by Accio Zucco, with the woodcuts newly engraved and coloured after a copy in the British Museum." Vol. 2 frontispiece: "The first three books of CAXTON'S AESOP containing the fables illustrated in the Verona Aesopus of MCCCLXXIX" Commenting on the making of this edition Giovanni Madersteig wrote: "At the end of the epilogue I examine the different illustrated editions of the fables printed in Italy during the fifteenth century. This comparison proves that the Verona Aesop was the model for all of them. Even the better-known Aesop from Naples printed by Tuppo contains quite a number of scenes with the same composition, but in mirror image. The watermark of the goose, which identifies the paper used in the first edition of the Aesop and in other Veronese books as having come from Toscolano, was revived for this and other books printed at the Officina Bodoni." [Barr, John. The Officina Bodoni, Montagnola, Verona: Books Printed By Giovanni Mardersteig on the Hand Press, 1923-1977. London: The British Library, 1978. pp. 170-174] Giovanni Mardersteig, (Weimar, 1892 - Verona 1977), was a printer and typographer who, as head of Officina Bodoni, created books exemplifying the highest standards in the art of printing. The press began in 1922 in Montagnola Switzerland and moved to Verona in 1927. It printed and published some 200 books and pamphlets, including Politian's Favola d'Orfeo; Shelley's Epipsychidion, Shakespeare's Tempest, and Dante's Vita nuova. There are good collections in many major European and American libraries. The Bodleian Library at Oxford holds a particularly rich collection. Following Mardersteig's death in 1977 his son, Martino Mardersteig, took over and still occasionally used the Officina Bodoni imprint for works he printed on his father's hand-presses.…

No. 131 OF 160 COPIES. 255 x 182 mm. (10 x 6 3/8"). Two volumes. With an epilogue by Giovanni Mardersteig. Publisher's stiff vellum backed with green morocco, top edges gilt. WITH 68 FINE HAND-COLORED WOODCUTS by Ann Bramanti (66 of these full-page), colored via pochoir by Daniel Jacomet to recreate the illuminated miniature effect of the British Library colored copy of the Veronese Aesop of 1479 (upon which the present edition is based). Printed on Magnani mouldmade paper with goose watermark. Volume I: the Latin text of the 1479 edition, with Italian translation; volume II: the English text, based on Caxton's 1482 translation. Prospectus laid in. Mardersteig/Schmoller 182. âVellum grain showing variation, as always, otherwise in mint condition. This beautiful limited edition of Aesop is generally considered to be the finest book from Officina Bodoni, and is thought by many to be among the half dozen greatest private press books ever printed. Probably the most important (certainly the longest-lived) 20th century Continental private press, Officina Bodoni was founded in 1922 by Hans Mardersteig, who later changed his first name to Giovanni. Like Sweynheym and Pannartz, the first printers in Italy, Mardersteig was born in Germany, but moved to Italy as an adult and set up his hand press in a small village there. Will Carter has called Mardersteig "probably the finest pressman the world has ever seen or is ever likely to see," and it is difficult to overstate the pleasure derived from the precision of the Officina Bodoni books. Based on a beautiful hand-colored copy of the Aesop of Giovanni Alvise, the third printer in Verona, the Officina Bodoni Aesop celebrates the golden anniversary of Mardersteig's founding of his press.…
