Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 4to (27.5 cm), xxiv, [2], 230 pp. Original red cloth, gilt diamond device stamped to upper board, gilt-lettered spine. A collection of seven essays by the pioneering historian of American bookbinding Hannah D. French, bringing together both previously published and unpublished work resulting from more than four decades of research and following her landmark 1941 essay, "Early American Bookbinding by Hand." The essays, arranged in chronological order, examine the work of five American binders --Andrew Barclay, Henry B. Legge, Caleb Buglass, John Roulstone, and Frederick August Mayo -- together with studies of Scottish-American binding styles and the use of full-gilt and extra-gilt decoration between 1660 and 1820. The final and most substantial essay, devoted to Frederick August Mayo, Thomas Jefferson's last bookbinder, was five years in preparation and draws extensively on the Jefferson-Mayo correspondence to document approximately forty-five bindings executed for Jefferson. Each of the five essays on individual binders is accompanied by a tool catalogue prepared by Willman Spawn, conservator at the American Philosophical Society, using rubbing-comparison techniques developed through his longstanding collaboration with French. The volume draws extensively on the Papantonio Collection of American bookbindings, bequeathed to the American Antiquarian Society in 1978 and comprising nearly 700 examples, which provided the principal evidentiary basis for the studies. A foundational reference for the study of American hand bookbinding, combining detailed scholarship on individual binders and workshops with systematic tool identification and documentary evidence. Essential for collectors and scholars of American bindings of the colonial and early Federal periods.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Uber-scarce in the trade, there being no copies available on-line currently of this First Edition and that is SIGNED by by the first of its three authors, Hannah D. French, possibly at the Grolier Club during her visit there in 1965 (Ziemba). A fine-looking, structurally sound exemplar of an important collection of three essays by the historian of American bookbinding, Hannah D. French, she then of Wellesley College Library for a long time. Overall Very Good condition copy, bound in Imperial octavo hardcover format, publisher's original blue paper over boards, black leather-backed spine with gilt titles, black leather tips. Lightly soiled and worn. First Edition, and SIGNED by Hannah D. French on title page of her essay and also including hand-written and signed letter (by her) dated 26 January 1966 on Wellesley College Library stationery probably to her photographer but definitely regarding photos from her lecture at the Grolier Club in March of 1965 (see below). Contains: "Early American Bookbinding" (Hannah Dustin French), "The Rise of American Edition Binding" (Joseph W. Rogers), "On The Rebinding of Old Books" (Helmutt Lehmann-Haupt). French mentions American?s first bookbinder: "Bookbinding was one of the very early crafts to be practiced in this country, but where the first book was bound and what it was like we do not know. A bookbinder, John Sanders by name, took the freeman?s oath in Boston in 1636 and purchased a shop for himself there in 1637. An observer of her address noted, "Miss French succeeded in presenting a coherent and vivid picture of early American bookbinding. She has described the workshop, the tools and materials of the old master binders and has been able to ascribe surviving examples to definite ateliers, establishing valuable criteria for the dating and identifying of historical American bindings. She has discovered certain workshops established by craftsmen immigrated from Europe and has taught us how to distinguish their work from the older native schools" ("Hunting the Elusive Bookbinder," from bookbinders museum dot org). All in, an important, elusive collection of essays, and with extraordinary association value. The letter to her photographer is written thus: "Dear Mr. Jensen: I don't suppose there's a chance that you still have the negatives of those wonderful shots you took of me 'performing at the Grolier's Club' last March. Today I tried to show them to some friends of mine and I could not find them. I distinctly remember putting them away very carefully but where I cannot discover. I really valued them greatly and would like to take the negatives of your hands if you still have them. The new edition of my study goes very slowly but I hope to live to present a copy fo the man who paid over fifty dollars for the first one!!! Sincerely Hannah D. French" ("where" and "if" are emphasized). [1-3] 4-293 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
