Uniformly bound in 3/4 maroon leather and marbled paper, raised bands on gilt decorated spines, all edges marbled, marbled endpapers, binding and hinges tight. With the armorial bookplate of (Captain) Frederick John Walker in each volume (1896-1944).

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Limited . Complete 11 volume matching set of decorative, limited 3/4 leather Surtees volumes in good condition all possessing the personal armorial bookplate of famed Foxhunter, sporting author of 7 books and horse show judge: J. Stanley Reeve. Most books show rubbing and color loss at periphery, some have chipped leather, internally very good. Set displays well, like old friends on the shelf. Includes: Handley Cross (2 vols), illustrated by Leech has 550pp and 17 hand-colored full-page steel engravings; Hawbuck Grange (1 vol), illustrated by Phiz has 330pp and 8 hand-colored full-page steel engravings; Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour (2 vols), illustrated by Leech has 408pp and 13 hand-colored full-page steel engravings; Ask Mamma (2 vols), illustrated by Leech has 412pp and 13 hand-colored full-page steel engravings; Plain or Ringlets (2 vols), illustrated by Leech has 406pp and 12 hand-colored full-page steel engravings and hand-colored title page; and Mr Romford's Hounds (2 vols), illustrated by Leech and Phiz has 392pp and 24 hand-colored full-page steel engravings. These six stories are uniformly bound by Dickers & Son, Leicester Square London in 11 volumes of three quarter crimson morocco leather over red cloth boards. Internally they are near fine with red and gold marbled endpapers, untrimmed fore edges and bright gilt head of page block. I saw an occasional light fingerprint in the margins, text is tight and bright, all plates have their tissue guards but the bound-in red ribbon markers are very worn, separated or missing. The dry spine ends are in varying states of distress being chipped & ragged, and one with a finger pull at head. They would benefit from restoration for esthetics but the books remain readable as is. These are antique originals that are still handsome on the shelf. Each leather spine has five raised bands with alternating gilt images of horseshoes and full cheek snaffle bits, with tooled edge at top & bottom of spine. Gilt spine titles are bright. Uncommon set made even more so due to their provenance with J. Stanley Reeve. Jorrocks, the sporting cockney grocer, with his vulgarity and good-natured artfulness, was a great success with the public, and Surtees produced more Jorrocks novels in the same vein, notably Handley Cross, where the description of the house is very reminiscent of Hamsterley. Another hero, Soapey Sponge, appears in Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour, possibly Surtees best work. All Surtees' novels were composed at Hamsterley Hall, where he wrote standing up at a desk, like Victor Hugo. Surtees studied Law and in 1835, Surtees abandoned his legal practice and after inheriting Hamsterley Hall in 1838, devoted himself to hunting and shooting.
