A Superb Alfred De Sauty Arts & Crafts Binding with a fine triptych Fore-Edge Painting depicting three scenes from the text: "The Entrance to Milton Lockhart" (page 142); "Norham Castle (page 24); "Lasswade Cottage" (page 33), and with fine gilt pointille work typical of the great Rivière bindings of 1905-1920. "The binding is signed on the leather front doublure. Even though the fore-edges are not signed, no other person but the binder would have added paintings on the fore-edge of a special binding" (Weber). The work of bookbinder Alfred de Sauty (1870-1949) is appreciated for its delicate tooling. Although little is known about his life, he worked in both London (1898 to 1923) and Chicago (1923 to 1935). "For instance, scholars are unsure whether, when in London, de Sauty worked independently, for the firm of Riviere & Sons, or both. While in London, he may also have been a designer for the Hampstead Bindery and a teacher at the Central School of Arts and Crafts" (Harvard) as works he bound during this period are signed "de S" or "De Sauty.". De Sauty's career in Chicago working for the hand bindery of R. R. Donnelley & Sons is better documented; bindings made here use the name R. R. Donnelly. "He signed his work at the foot of the front doublure, if present, and at the center of the bottom turn-in of the front upper board, if not" (Harvard). Provenance: Ziern-Hanon Galleries, Missouri (2009); Weber. Annotated Dictionary, De Sauty 2. (2010). Fine.…

Fourth edition. A superb example. Twelvemo (6 3/8 x 3 7/8 inches; 162 x 98 mm.). [2, blank], [iv], [1]-174, [2 blank] pp. Inscribed by the author on the first blank: "Wiggiston[?] from J. Taylor."

With a fine contemporary fore-edge painting by Taylor & Hessey depicting a view of Welbeck Abbey in Nottinghamshire. English novelist and poet, Jane Taylor (1783-1824) perhaps better known for her collaborative authorship with her sister Ann, was the voice behind "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Taylor's verses have been here delightfully bound by Taylor and Hessey. The Firm was at its height between 1808-1823, working in both publishing and fine bindings. Their work is usually identifiable from their use of colored Morocco and gilt-stamp name on the foredge of their book boards. Taylor & Hessey also employed a foredge painter, whose identity remains lost, but whose work predominantly features buildings and landscapes. Of the twenty-four books in American libraries studied by Weber, only one exception can be found in the "copy of Mrs. Tighe's Psyche (London, 1811), on the fore-edge of which 'the Marlborough Gem' is painted" (Weber). Here the fore-edge painting depicts the old Premonstratensian Welbeck Abbey in the Dukeries in North Nottinghamshire. The ancient monastery, founded by Thomas de Cuckney in 1140, appears in the famous Domesday Book. Signed. …
