Engraved title. Each page with elaborately illustrated vignette borders. All edges black (very slightly abraded). Finely tooled inner gilt dentelles. Black moire silk doublures (very slightly wrinkled, as usual). Purple silk page marker. 12.5 x 16 cm. Near contemporary, unique Gruel \"Sombre\" full black Niger marocco binding (a pastiche of a Medieval binding). Spine in plain black compartments with raised bands and \"Gruel\" signed in miniscule at the foot (very slightly rubbed). Boards with original black lacquered steel clasp in the form of a Botonee cross with a trefoil design on the ends and 16 small pearls. The trefoil designs represent the three persons of the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and the pearls symbolize the drops of Christ's blood, which besprinkled the Cross during the Crucifixion. At the top are two gothic stylised fittings for rings to hold the matching black lacquered steel chain of about 20cm. The chain appears to have historically caused a very small nick on the upper edge. But this is an exceptionally interesting 163 year old binding, laden with meaning that intended to resonate with a period four hundred years earlier. It was also fashionable in Restoration England to cover Bibles and prayer books in sombre bindings , that is, in blind-tooled black goatskin, devoid of gilt decoration, often with the edges of the leaves stained black (as this book is), either as an expression of mourning or as a Lenten observance. Such bindings were made in many different workshops \u0026amp; this particular unique Gruel variation was also themed on a girdle book with a small chain looped through two rings at the top of the binding- all that was necessary to make it portable-a rare and intriguing format, so unusual as not often to be seen outside important collections. The girdle book would have been fully supported by a girdle belt, separate from the hose and any upper garments. Gruel was one of the most famous and important \"fin de siècle\" French binders. The Gruel bookbinding firm, founded in 1811, \"always had the highest reputation .for initiative in artistic matters, as well as for irreproachable execution in the detail of its many-sided achievements\" [\"Bookbinders and their Craft\", Prideaux]. The list of binders who trained at the Gruel atelier is the most distinguished in Europe. Léon Gruel (1841-1923), who took over the firm in 1891, was the single most famous person associated with the bindery. He led the challenge to integrate new innovations and ideas in the decoration of modern bindings.

The velvet is in very good condition but not without some very mild wear in one or two tiny spots. James Hayday (1796-1872) was one of the most inventive binders of the 19th century and one of the few to be deemed worthy of an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography; books bound by him became and still are considerably sought after. Edward Gardner of the Oxford Warehouse, 7 Paternoster Row, secured Hayday's services exclusively for Oxford University Press publications (of which this is one). Hayday was specifically engaged by Gardner to bind his copies of the finely printed, small format 'Oxford' Bibles, and his output ranged from the basic plain dark hard-grained morocco trade bindings to the finely finished and worked up examples seen here, presumably for the luxury end of the market. William Pickering, bookseller, of 57 Chancery Lane, additionally introduced Hayday to many wealthy patrons. After entering into a brief partnership with Mr. Boyce, a finisher, he again started on his own account at 31 Little Queen Street. Unable to compete with other and cheaper binders, he was adjudicated a bankrupt on 10 June 1861.

George Kirkby Junior (1773-1857) was the owner of the Kentish Gazette along with Charles Petman Rouse, and James Lawrence. James Hervey (1714-1758), Calvinist Anglican divine (and former Oxford Methodist), following several minor clerical appointments in 1740 he became the curate of Bideford, North Devon, where he started work on the drafts of his famous Meditations and Reflections. The latter works appeared in 1745-1746, to be followed in 1747 by his Contemplation upon the night and other works. His popular Meditations Among the Tombs was published in 1746 and it was often reprinted. The subject of the book is death, and the author dwells particularly on the grief caused by early death, and on the eventual re-uniting of the parted in heaven. Hervey had a lasting impact on art through William Blake, who was an admirer of his. Blake painted Epitome of James Hervey's Meditations among the Tombs between 1820 and 1825.Hervey is also mentioned in Blake's work as one of the holy guards to the 'four-fold gate', and his influence on Blake's poem The Tyger has also been noted. Hervey was also a friend and correspondent of John Wesley, founder of Methodism. Examples of Hervey's shorthand are not common, but there is a copy of a 1795 Thomas Hervey Bible in Shorthand at the Archives and Manuscript Department, Pitts Theology Library, Emory University. This is a unique Napoleonic era example of an entire work in shorthand, preserved in a charming contemporary full morocco binding.

Anthony Wrangham and his relatives operated at a few different addresses in and around New Bond Street from the mid late 1700's. Preliminary investigation indicates that he operated from No. 161 from 1809 to 1814. W.Houghton was still at 161 New Bond Street in 1833 but examples of his ticket are uncommon.

Probably the earliest imprint of the best known miniature thumb bible \u0026amp; a very close copy of the J.Harris edition. Elizabeth Newberry was the widow of Francis who was nephew of John Newberry (hugely successful publisher and promoter of children's books). A charming copy of this first appearance of Elizabeth Newbery’s enormously popular Bible in Miniature. Although this is the first edition to have the Newbery name in the imprint, it was effectively a new edition of Harris’ miniature bible first printed in 1778, which in turn was based on earlier printings by W. Harris as early as 1771. Following J. Harris’ original closely, the text was entirely reset but was almost word for word the same as Harris’, with the same number of pages, a similar title and fly-title for the New Testament and with engravings of the same subjects: creation,Adam and Eve, Moses, the birth of Christ, the Epiphany etc. The print run must have been considerable as it was still listed as for sale in 1800, at the original published price of 1s, and it is one of the easiest thumb bibles to find today. It was reprinted well into the nineteenth century by the Newbery family and in collaborative editions with Harris, Darton and Harvey.This issue has the page numbers enclosed within brackets and has no imprint at the end of the text, simply concluding with the ‘Finis’ on p. 256. Some rarer issues contain the imprint ‘Crowder \u0026amp; Hemsted, Printers,Warwick-Square’ or simply ‘Hemsted, Printer’.This issue does have the mistake ‘miniuture’ to the title, which was later corrected; but the reworked plate of the engraving of Adam and Eve, at p. 25, with a tree bearing no apples. Copies vary in size and binding.They were issued in plain calf, crimson morocco with gilt tooling and a central onlay in black or dark green, with the sacred monogram (as this copy, which has the onlay in black) and in green morocco with gilt tooling and crimson central onlay.

Dante was born in Florence in 1265. The Alighieri family came from a branch of the house of Elisei, founded by the wife of Cacciaguida, a warrior who died in the Second Crusade. Dante's parents (Alighiero di Bellincione Alighieri and Bella di Abati) were minor nobility, so he grew up among the aristocracy. Florence was utterly central to his life, but he ended up in exile \u0026amp; Dante died prematurely in Ravenna. However, it was during his exile that he began writing his great work The Divine Comedy. Dante chose the title because even though it begins tragically (Inferno), it ends pleasantly (Paradiso). The three-part epic poem was first published in 1320. Welsh, 2170.

Madeira Cottage, Southsea. Sept. 14[th] 1843\". Portsmouth encyclopedia locates Madeira Cottage (1861) on south side of Villiers Road. Account of survivors of the wrecked Royal George near Cowes in 1782, with poetry dedicated to ship and crew with the loss of 800 lives (one casualty, a report claimed, was a female sailor disguised as a male). The Royal George was ten years in the making and upon completion was the largest warship in the world, boasting 100 guns. She saw service in the Seven Years' War, but, through negligence, sank while undergoing routine maintenance on August 29th, 1782. There were subsequent efforts to raise the ship intact, but none were successful, and the wreckage was finally destroyed in 1840. Not in Bondy. Welsh, 6415. WorldCat locates copies in 14 libraries. The additional brass inset on the front cover is exceptional.

Spine with three hand-gilded floral devices within horizontal gilt ruled borders. Covers with single fillet gilt borders (very slight wear and bowing of boards). Provenance: \"Martha Downs, the gift of her sister, Jane\". The great religious revival which took place during the 19th century, especially in England, went hand in hand with a flood of devotional books, many of them in miniature format. Some of them were intended both for children and an adult readership. Very popular were the publications issued by the Religious Tract Society in London. As most of them were undated, any dates given here are estimates. A tiny volume, enchantingly entitled Small Rain upon the Tender Herb, belongs to the best-loved miniature books and was obviously much treasured by our Victorian ancestors. The first edition appeared in the early 1830's and many subsequent editions were printed at least up to the 39th edition.The earlier editions were finely printed by C. Whittingham at Chiswick.The type used is 5-point. The contents consist of short Bible extracts for every day of the year and even include the 29th of February (Bondy, 127). Spielmann, 466.

Unusual \"Pearson's Miniature Dictionary\" in gilt on upper cover (usually it was Pears -soap manufacturers- that was advertised). Complete with scarce and desirable solid silver locket made by George Unite, Birmingham in 1893 (full set of English hallmarks, Lion rampant, Anchor, date letter \"t\" and maker's initials); built in magnifying glass (scratched) and original silver loop. Bryce offered their dictionaries in a choice of Metal cases (1s.3d.), Tartan (1s.6d.), Yapped leather (2s.0d.), Silver gilt (2s.6d.), Gilt or engraved (3s.6d.) \u0026amp; Silver hallmarked locket (7s.6d.) -this example was the most costly and by far the hardest to find. This is one of a number of minuscule books published by Bryce by the process of photographic reduction. They are all legible with a magnifying glass and the equivalent of 1 1\/2-point. This is number 18 in Ruth Adomeit's List of 32 Basic Books for the Serious Collector.

Complete with frontispieces and portraits. Edited by J.Talfourd Blair. Dedicated to the actress Ellen Terry and printed in 1904 in Glasgow by David Bryce and Son and published jointly in New York by Frederick A. Stokes Company. Tiny red leather labels to front paste-down endpapers that say \"From The Tudor House\" Stratford-upon-Avon\". The books measure 38 x 55 mm. Original forest green goatskin (some wear to the edges of the spine and the cover edges. Some of the spines show a bit more wear. Four of the books have the small leather label missing from the spine. A couple of the books have front hinges starting to crack or a small crack in the text block, but still holding). Housed in the original dark stained 8-compartment revolving wooden bookcase (four sides with two compartments in each side, each holding 5 books) by Bumpus (minor slight chipping to three corners). It is on a matching small wooden pedestal (possibly non-original) and rotates to imitate a full-size version of such a bookcase. Of the Ellen Terry series, Louis Bondy wrote that these volumes are \"Bryce's greatest achievement as a leading promoter of miniature books,\" and, in particular, he describes the Shakespeare as \"the most prodigious of these sets\" (Bondy, p.114). Most of the sets were printed in 1904. Included are all the plays, the sonnets, a biographical sketch, and glossary. A beautiful and sought after Shakespeare set that is more commonly found in buckram or ivorine bindings. Bromer, 51. Garbett, 41. Spielmann, 459. Welsh, 6264. American Art Association, 182. This is an uncommon miniature book set, meticulously printed and bound for the David Bryce Company in Glasgow, noted for their miniature book production.

De-luxe example of popular format of easily carried diary -type almanac. Shortly after this miniature book was printed and sold by Jean-Baptiste Demoraine in Paris, he wrote to the minister of justice, February 8, 1811, protesting his suppression after the implementation of the regulation of 1810, which limited the number of printers in the city to eighty. As the suppression of the Paris printer Demoraine, \"printer from father to son for over one hundred years,\" makes clear, the new regulation did not represent a simple victory of the \"old\" printers over the \"new,\" but of the bigger (minimum of four presses)and wealthier printers over the smaller ones and explains why he agreed to merge his publishing concerns with Boucquin later that year. 1811 was also a pivotal year in European history, marking the stalemate of the Napoleonic Peninsular War before the eventual defeat of the Grand Army. Not in Bondy, not in Grand-Carteret, not in Spielmann, not in Welsh. Pistner, Matter of Size, 136 for an extremely similar binding with a slightly less attractive clasp than this one.

The bookbinder was very possibly James Hayday (1796-1872), one of the most inventive binders of the 19th century and one of the few to be deemed worthy of an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography; books bound by him became and still are considerably sought after. Edward Gardner of the Oxford Warehouse, 7 Paternoster Row, secured Hayday's services exclusively for Oxford University Press publications (of which this is one). Hayday was specifically engaged by Gardner to bind his copies of the finely printed, small format 'Oxford' Bibles, and his output ranged from the basic plain dark hard-grained morocco trade bindings to the finely finished and worked up examples similar to this example, presumably for the luxury end of the market. William Pickering, bookseller, of 57 Chancery Lane, later introduced Hayday to many wealthy patrons. After entering into a brief partnership with Mr. Boyce, a finisher, Hayday again started on his own account at 31 Little Queen Street. Unable to compete with other and cheaper binders, he was adjudicated a bankrupt on 10 June 1861. Welsh, 1852. Welsh lists a slightly earlier edition of the same size.
