(DE VINNE, Theodore Low). TICHENOR, Irene. No Art Without Craft. The Life of Theodore Low De Vinne, Printer. Boston : David R. Godine, (2005), large octavo, cloth in dust jacket. 344pp. First Edition. This full-scale biography of Theodore Low De Vinne (1828–1914) explores the life of a seminal figure in the history of American printing. De Vinne was born in upstate New York , the son of an itinerant Methodist preacher. It is unclear what propelled him into the world of printing, but once he discovered it, he never let it go. He was, for years, the primary and preferred printer for the Century Company, printing not only its distinguished list of books but also such national magazines as St. Nicholas and The Century. His masterly printing of wood engravings, together with his obsession with presswork, tight composition, and typefaces, gained him and his firm an international reputation and made De Vinne a rich man. But it is his skill as a historian as well as a printer that endears his name to the student of typography. His four volumes on the practice of typography are considered classics. In an age when few American scholars were examining early printed books, he made significant scholarly contributions to the study of incunables. His books on title pages and early Italian printing can still be read with profit. His working library was immense, and when the Grolier Club was founded in 1884, it was not surprising that, as New York ’s most illustrious printer, he was asked to be one of the founding members and to provide much of the Club’s early printing. Black and white illustrations and an 8-page color insert. New. (13950) $35.00   $15.00

From the dust jacket: "Prince of Forgers is the true story about one of history's most audacious frauds and of the trial that exposed the most colossal literary crime ever perpetrated on learned men. Vrain-Denis Lucas was a self-educated peasant who shook the foundations of the French Academy of Sciences. As a patriot and lover of history, Lucas created over 27,000 forgeries and tried to change the course of French destiny. After fifteen years of scholarly but spurious activity, Lucas' recklessness and disdain for credibility reached new heights as he began writing autographed letters by Mary Magdalene, Cleopatra, and Alexander the great, in modern French, and selling them for thousands of francs. Professor Rosenblum's long-awaited translation of this French forgery classic is a must-read for any collector interested in the darker side of literary history. Prince of Forgers is also a profound reminder of the gullibility of experts and the brazen audacity of one of the most prolific literary scoundrels of the 19th century." Illustrated. New.

The sale of this library, The Garden Ltd., was brought about by a lawsuit filed by Michael Davis against Haven O'More. Davis, son of the businessman, Leonard Davis, entered into a partnership with O'More in which Davis turned over control of $17 million to O'More as the sole general partner of The Garden Ltd., an association formed " primarily to write and develop new manuscripts, to rewrite, edit and publish manuscripts, and to hold and collect rare books and manuscripts." The tale of this financial partnership and its collapse, and more interesting, the story behind the enigmatic Haven O'More is told in detail in Nicholas Basbane's book, A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books, chapter 6, "To Have and to Have No More. " Not to be overlooked is the magnificent library built by O'More. As Nicolas Barker states in his Foreword, "The decision to choose the best authors and the best works, in the best available copies, is aptly demonstrated." Beginning with an Egyptian manuscript [ca. 1080-746 B.C.] Book of the Dead, there are copies of the first Ptolemy and Aesop, first editions of Dante, the first printing in Greek of Homer, all four Shakespeare folios, the first edition of Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, Blake' Songs of Innocence and of Experience, and his Book of Thel.

GASKELL, Philip. From Writer to Reader. Studies in Editorial Method.
Winchester : St. Paul ’s, 1999, octavo, printed wrappers. (xvi), 268pp. The definitive work on the nature of textual bibliography and criticism which has established itself as an essential tool for students of bibliography and for anyone else concerned with the editing of serious literature. It is based on the study of extracts from the early texts of 12 works of literature, ranging from Harington’s Orlando Furioso, 1591; to Dickens’ David Copperfield, 1850; to Tom Stoppard’s Travesties, 1974. By tracing the texts through their many stages from writer to reader, Gaskell reveals how a work is subject to variations of composition (e.g., an author’s revision of the printed proof) and variations of transmission, resulting from the process of copying, printing, and publication. Gaskell categorizes the role of the editor as that of textual bibliographer, one who establishes texts and readings by finding out how and with what intentions they were written and reproduced. He presents the editor also as a literary critic who judges texts as works of art and states preferences for different readings. Examples show how, by combining a critical judgment with an understanding of textual bibliography, an editor can establish “critical text” that is as authoritative as the evidence allows, and then present it in the form best suited to its intended audience.

Thornton details the parties to these disputes: writing masters who used penmanship training to form and discipline character; scientific experts who chalked up variations in script to mere physiological idiosyncrasy; and autograph collectors and handwriting analysts who celebrated signatures that broke copybook rules as marks of personality, revealing the uniqueness of the self." With brief mention of forgery and forgers. Illustrated and with a detailed index. Very fine copy. (10534) $25.00  $9.00

HASLAM, Fiona. From Hogarth to Rowlandson. Medicine in Art in Eighteenth Century Britain . (Liverpool): Liverpool Univ Press, (1996), octavo, wrappers. xvi, 336pp. First Edition. The author places 'the art of medicine' of the eighteenth century in its social, medical, historical and political context and shows how this, together with a knowledge of the lives of the artists themselves, is necessary for a better understanding of that art in an age in which hope was often raised by medical innovation, but all too often dashed. Among the aspects considered are: medical images in Hogarth's early satires, the role and practice of the itinerant quack, blood- letting and surgery, the innovation of vaccination, fashion in medicine, midwifery and birth, medicine and morality, madness and death. This book provides an insight into the use of highly charged and often complicated representations of medicine and doctors in graphic and literary art. 108 b&w illustrations. Very fine copy.

(HOGARTH, William). BINDMAN, David. Hogarth and his Times: Serious Comedy. Berkeley : Univ of California Press, (1997), quarto, wrappers. 208pp. First American Edition. "This exhibition commemorates the three-hundredth anniversary of William Hogarth's birth in 1697, and it is built upon the remarkable collections of prints and drawings by Hogarth, and his contemporaries and successors, in the Prints and Drawings Department of the British Museum...It is a premise of both catalogue and exhibition that Hogarth's moral series are works of fiction, based on a simplified and schematic view of society, divided between three self-contained classes: the wealthy, 'the middling sorts' and the poor. By juxtaposing in this exhibition images from different series with the work of other artists, it becomes possible to highlight and comment on the very artificiality of Hogarth's notions of society, and to present the apparent truth of his social observation as no more (or less) credible than those we might find in a novel or play of the period. A second theme of the exhibition, which is extensively treated in the catalogue, is the way in which Hogarth's work and significance were defined by contemporaries and redefined by posterity.

Dard Hunter (1883-1966) commenced his remarkable career in the book arts as a craftsman and designer in the American Arts & Crafts Movement. In the first decades of the 20th century, Hunter’s avant- garde designs were seen in the popular books and decorative arts produced by Elbert Hubbard’s Roycrofters. Despite the success of his modern designs, Hunter became intrigued by the ancient handcrafts of papermaking, typefounding, and letterpress printing. An anachronism among colleagues, Hunter remained true to his philosophy to make books by hand, striving for the highest craft standards. Hunter was also a world renowned scholar and author. His writings form the cornerstone of our knowledge about paper history, technology, and materials, and he is the author of the classic reference Papermaking: The History and Technique of an Ancient Craft. In order to gather firsthand knowledge about the making of paper, Hunter traveled the world between the two world wars collecting tools, equipment, raw materials, and paper specimens. Dard Hunter was a unique blend of craftsman and scholar - a mixture he regarded as essential to the understanding and appreciation of the book arts. Hunter’s legacy is manifest in the revival of hand papermaking in this country, and he remains an inspiration to all who are involved in the creation of handmade objects.

HUNTER, Michael, Giles Mandelbrote, Richard Ovenden and Nigel Smith, (editors). A Radical's Books: The Library Catalogue of Samuel Jeake of Rye , 1623-90. Woodbridge , Eng: D. S. Brewer, 1999, octavo, boards without jacket, as issued. lxxiv, 364pp. First Edition. The library owned by Samuel Jeake of Rye , nonconformist and local activist, was one of the most remarkable of its time. It is of particular importance in that relatively little information has hitherto been available about the ownership of books in the English provinces, or the reading habits of intellectuals who - like Jeake -were outside London and university circles from which most surviving libraries have come down to us. The collection of some 1500 volumes includes an extraordinary assemblage of radical pamphlets from the English Revolution alongside works of theology, literature, scholarship and science. Other books reflect astrological and magical interests, and the collection also includes a medical library. Jeake's library catalogue, published here, gives much information about titles that are now lost, about the penetration of foreign books into provincial England , and about book prices. The introduction places Jeake's collection in context, and makes a significant contribution to the history of the book in the early modern period; appendices list surviving volumes from the library and give a complete list of the Jeake manuscripts now in Rye Museum . "The generous introduction[to A Radical's Books] is, in its own right, a substantial essay deserving the attention of historians of seventeenth-century book culture."

HURST, Clive. Catalogue of the Wren Library of Lincoln Cathedral. Books Printed before 1801. Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, (2005), large quarto, printed wrappers. 606pp. First Edition, wrappers issue. There was certainly a collection of books at Lincoln Cathedral in the twelfth century, and its origins were perhaps earlier still; but little interest seems to have been taken in building up the library until the second half of the seventeenth century, with the appointment in 1660 of the bibliophile Michael Honywood, a Fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge , as Dean. The present Wren Library’s collection of some 8,000 printed books is based largely on his private library, bequeathed to the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln on his death in 1681. Much of Honywood’s library was put together during seventeen years of voluntary exile in the Low Countries from 1643. It is consequently rich in sixteenth- and seventeenth century continental literature, including rare Italian plays, European pamphlets and broadsides interpreting the English political situation, a collection of Dutch ballads, and many religious books and tracts. The splendid English collection includes 1600 STC items, and 2,650 printed between 1641 and 1700, over 100 of which are not recorded in Wing. In addition there are some 100 incurables. This complete catalogue of books printed before 1801 is the first since 1859, and offers the detail and precision required by modem scholars, bibliographers and libraries. Titles are given at some length to indicate subject coverage, and format, pagination, and details of illustrations are recorded. The catalogue notes which books belonged to Honywood, whose importance as a collector is thus established. A set of concordances keyed to the main entries covers STC, Wing, Adams , and Goff.

Two volumes. xxxii, 352pp.; (366)pp. This two part set represents the third volume in the Walters Art Gallery catalogue of the collection of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts. From the Preface: "The terrain encompassed by the material at hand is situated today chiefly in Belgium . Flanders proved to be consistently at the core of a teeming cultural matrix extending from Brabant, Hainaut, and Liege to adjoining territories located mainly in present-day France . Stylistic developments attest to far- flung contacts especially after 1400 between patrons and artisans active in England , present-day Holland , France , Germany , Italy , and Spain ... Further of note is the apparent deliberate avoidance of absolute copying of both texts and images, even in routine workshop productions that offer telling contrasts to commissions executed for discriminating patrons... Names of binders tooled on finely ornamented covers of a number of prayer books typify a relatively common digression from the norm of anonymity among Flemish practitioners of this craft." Extensively illustrated in black and white and in color. A very fine set. (12517) $185.00  $75.00

The victory of Charles V (1364-1380) against the English, and against his own feudal nobility, marked the beginning of a Golden Age in the history of book illumination. During the late fourteenth and early fifteenth century, magnificent manuscripts emerged from scriptoria all over Europe, especially in France , setting new standards for fine illumination. Among the most brilliant achievements were those that emerged through the patronage of Charles's brother, Jean, Duke of Berry, whose interest in fine books earned him the title of "prince of medieval bibliophiles." In this volume, pages from his treasured volumes- including The Belles Heures, The Grandes Heures, and the jewel of his collection, The Tre Riches Heures - are reproduced, together with folios from beautifully illuminated secular books, such as the Tacuinum Sanitatis (or Medieval Health Handbook) and Terence Des Ducs, among others.

Philadelphia : Univ of Pennsylvania Press, (1990), large 8vo, cloth in dust jacket. 355pp. First Edition. From the dust jacket: 'In 1753 Robert Dodsley published Designs by Mr. R. Bentley, for Six Poems by Mr. T. Gray. Sponsored by Horace Walpole, this luxurious quarto was the first major aesthetic expression of the Strawberry Hill circle and a landmark in English book illustrations. Kenneth Clark has called it "the most graceful monument to Gothic Rococo." Its witty interplay between illustration and text anticipated Blake, who studied it some thirty years later. Among its poems is Gray's famous Elegy Written in a Country Church-Yard. Loftus Jestin offers a facsimile of Designs (out of print since 1786) and a full-length interdisciplinary study of the collaboration of Bentley, Gray, and Walpole that produced this extraordinary book. He shows the way poems and illustrations at once complement, compete with, and invigorate each other, and he examines Strawberry Hill, Walpole 's house at Twickenham, where Bentley's genius flourished.

Volume III: The Irish Book in English, 1550-1800 contains a series of groundbreaking essays that seek to explain the fortunes of printed word from the early Renaissance to the end of the eighteenth century.

Section two explains the crucial developments in the structure and technical innovation of the print trade; the role played by private and public collections of books; and the evidence of changing reading practices throughout the period. The third and longest section explores the impact of the rise of print. Essays examine the effect that the printed book had on religious and political life in Ireland , providing a case study of the impact of the French Revolution on pamphlets and propaganda in Ireland ; the transformations illustrated in the history of historical writing, as well as in literature and the theatre, through the publication of play texts for a wide audience. Others explore the impact that print had on the history of science and the production of foreign language books. The volume concludes with an authoritative bibliographical essay outlining the sources that exist for the study of the book in early modern Ireland . This is an authoritative volume with essays by key scholars that will be the standard guide for many years to come. With a detailed index and 12 black and white illustrations. Very fine.
