David Bryce (1845-1923) was one of the world's most prolific and successful makers of miniature books, entering the book trade at the age of 17 when he was made a partner in his father s publishing house. He later became the sole proprietor when his father died in 1870. It was shortly after this event that he started producing the miniature books that were to make him famous. David Bryce \u0026amp; Sons of Glasgow was active around the turn of the 19th century; \u0026amp; took an active interest in the latest technological advances in photolithography and electroplates to allow larger volumes to be reduced to the smallest imaginable size. The result is that their miniature publications are prized for the clarity and legibility of their texts. With the aid of Glasgow University Press, the firm issued the earliest complete miniature Bible in 1896, at the time the smallest complete bible ever printed; it comprised 876 pages printed on the finest India paper, measuring just over 1 inch square and was a reduced facsimile of the Oxford sextodecimo edition. David Bryce produced these tiny Bibles and many were presented to serving soldiers throughout the British Empire, easily carried on campaigns, including The Boer War which was being waged at that time with many later carried by soldiers in the First World War. They also published a 1901 reprint and also issued it in a specific binding as a souvenir of the Glasgow International Exhibition at Kelvingrove. All copies were sold with a small magnifying glass.

As well as Great Exhibition medals, by 1898 Hogarth \u0026amp; Hayes (who claimed they were established in 1837 this is technically not true as they were Banks, Son \u0026amp; Co at that point) were supplying a number of Royals as well as the Government Offices. Hogarth \u0026amp; Hayes were well known for producing fine pencils that now are rarely found in a complete set. WorldCat locates just two copies of this book (and at least one of the two known copies does not have the Mauchline ware transfers) in the Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum and in the National Library of Scotland. A rare book, with a collectable binding and a highly unusual bookbinders ticket perhaps uniquely linking it to a pre-eminent pencil works- a surprising survivor of local history and of hand-made tourist gift ware.

The title bears the words \"Printed by Authority\"; and on verso is a copy of the licence granted to D. Bryce to publish this edition dated 1901, an edition of 100,000 copies. Printed upon the very thinnest Oxford India Paper ever made, and with twenty-eight full-page illustrations of biblical scenes by C. B. Birch, A.R.A. Inner hinge cracked but firm. Final leaf with marginal closed tear at bottom. Some pages mildly thumbed. The exact size of the page is 42mm x 28mm. Contemporary straight-grained, burgundy morocco, covers with ornamental scrolling gilt border surrounding a central gilt lozenge with gilt lettered center (Illustrated Miniature Bible ), spine gilt, all edges yellow (marginal edge wear); contemporary gold-painted metal copyright marked Jahncke's Patent Tin Prince of Wales feathers and Thistles with ornamental engraving of Jahncke's Patent Tin Prince of Wales feathers and Thistles (exterior gold layer rubbed away), upper cover with removable inlaid red cloth with gilt lettering surrounding a central magnifying glass loop (very slight wear, fading and handling). David Bryce (1845-1923) was one of the world's most prolific and successful makers of miniature books, entering the book trade at the age of 17 when he was made a partner in his father s publishing house. He later became the sole proprietor when his father died in 1870. It was shortly after this event that he started producing the miniature books that were to make him famous. David Bryce \u0026amp; Sons of Glasgow was active around the turn of the 19th century; \u0026amp; took an active interest in the latest technological advances in photolithography and electroplates to allow larger volumes to be reduced to the smallest imaginable size. The result is that their miniature publications are prized for the clarity and legibility of their texts. With the aid of Glasgow University Press, the firm issued the earliest complete miniature Bible in 1896, at the time the smallest complete bible ever printed; it comprised 876 pages printed on the finest India paper, measuring just over 1 inch square and was a reduced facsimile of the Oxford sextodecimo edition. David Bryce produced these tiny Bibles and many were presented to serving soldiers throughout the British Empire, easily carried on campaigns, including The Boer War which was being waged at that time with many later carried by soldiers in the First World War. They also published a 1901 reprint and also issued it in a specific binding as a souvenir of the Glasgow International Exhibition at Kelvingrove. All copies were sold with a small magnifying glass.

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.

The Lilliput Press, founded in Bristol by Tim Sheppard in the early 1980's, specialised in miniature books in roughly 1\/12th scale -correct for displaying in a standard scale dolls house; but they are so much more than just items to embellish a child's toy; these are serious works of the book maker's art and well worth seeking out, although they are now difficult to find.

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.

This is a miniature edition of the original moral tale that was later followed by sequels, The Dairyman's Cottage and The Conversion of the Dairyman's Daughter. It had a remarkably wide distribution and influence. It was a narrative of the true experience of Elizabeth Wallbridge, who was the person after whom the book was named. Elizabeth Wallbridge was born, lived and died in the Parish of Arreton, Isle of Wight, England. Her parents although worthy were of the lowly ranks of the poor, and their children were put to service at an early age. The author of the narrative was Rev. Legh Richmond, a religious writer of the period, who was the curate of the neighbouring parish of Brading. According to the account in the book, Miss Wallbridge's life until the age of 26 was of the most worldly character. Never immoral, she was willful, proud, selfish and irreligious. Her life was, however, transformed by a sermon and she became very devout. With exceptional strength of mind, a retentive memory, the mastery of a few religious classics and enforced leisure because of illness, she devoted time and strength to the study of the Bible in which she became remarkably proficient. Miss Wallbridge, after a lingering sickness of a year and a half, died May 30, 1801, at the age of 31 years. During her illness Rev. Richmond often visited her and talked with her, and these discussions inspired him to write the book. Scarce in commerce. Bondy, 129. Welsh, 6008.

Original engraved eggshell blue, light card wrappers, in original slipcase with gilt spine (wrappers very slightly toned), slipcase sides in original marbled paper \u0026amp; spine in finely gilt-tooled calf. A typographical masterclass in miniature, originally intended for children, printed in Henri Didot's celebrated microscopic type, comprising Berquin's Variétés, Démoustier's Mythologie, Florian's Mélanges, La Fontaine's Fables, and poetry by Millevoye and Voltaire. In the nineteenth-century world of print, the Didot family were predominant owing to their significant innovations and commercial nous. François Didot established a reputation for typographical perfection, his son, François-Ambroise Didot, created the point system for sizing type, and his son, Firmin Didot, mastered the engraved roundhand. However, one of the greatest Didot family contributions to print can be attributed to Henri Didot, who, aged 66, cut his microscopic type, the miniscule font used in these books \u0026amp; mearuring 2.5pt (on his uncle's scale). The most revered publications using this type are La Rochefoucauld's Maximes (1827) and Horace's Opera omnia (1828), but its invention also produced these miniature books for children.

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.

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.

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.

The publisher, Andersons, did continue to print the Ellen Terry Complete works of Shakespeare -originally produced by David Bryce of Glasgow, before Bryce went out of business just before the 1914 Great War. This was a tourist item, evidently produced in low numbers. A companion publication was produced by Andersons about Perth in the same year, of which WorldCat locates just one single copy worldwide (Indiana Unoversity and formerly in the Adomeit collection with her bookplate).
