He was a British artist and designer, known particularly for his work on ceramic tiles. John Moyr Smith was a major but little-researched figure in the design reform movement whose work ranged from ironwork, furniture, pottery, wallpaper and lace curtains to carpets. The large number of designs he made for Messrs Minton included drawing on the metal plates for the following series of tiles: Shakespeare, Tennyson's Idylls of the King, Waverley, Thomson's Seasons, Old Testament, New Testament, Fairy Tales, The Trades, The Months, Anacreon, English History, Music and Sciences. He designed and illustrated tiles, in the Arts & Crafts tradition, for Minton in the 1870s. Minton's was a major company in Staffordshire pottery, and was Europe's foremost ceramic factory during Victorian times. His series of tiles are known for their intricate scenes, often telling stories e. g. from Shakespeare's plays, the Bible, the Morte D'Arthur, the Arabian Nights and Aesop's Fables, and include a Nursery Rhymes series e. g. 'Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall'; Shakespeare Series: such as Twelfth Night; and the Idylls of the King Series. John Moyr Smith's tiles are now becoming very much collected, with individual rare tiles fetching high prices. ***This particular book of etchings, showing 'British Courtship' through the ages could have been intended to be used for a series of tiles to decorate the surround of a Victorian fireplaced. ***Only one copy of the first edition of 'British Courtship' by Moyr Smith' is recorded on COPAC, being held at The British Library. This first edition is particularly scarce, being dated and inscribed by Moyr Smith. These etchings may have been intended for but never used for tiles. ***Of interest to antiquarians and tile ceramist historians and collectors, and anyone who wants to acquire an original set of etchings to be used for designs on a original set of tiles for a unique fireplace in their home. Ultra scarce.***. Inscribed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Folio. Brown cloth, gilt. Spine slightly worn at head and tail, corners rubbed. Dedicated "To The Prince Imperial of France, a very good little Boy, this book, a souvenir of a pleasant visit to Paris, is, with his august Papa's gracious consent, inscribed as a reward for progress in his English studies by his friends & well wishers". John Moyr Smith (1839-1912), the Glasgow-born architect/artist, had ambitions too as an illustrator, and in 1869 had visited Gustave Doré in Paris.

Oblong 8vo, pp.10, [2 (blank)], with 5 sanguine lithographic plates (of which one double-page); two woodcut illustrations printed in-text; very slightly dusty at edges, but a good copy; bound in publisher's blue pebble-grained cloth, front board blocked in black and lettered in gilt, rear board blocked in blind, black endpapers; slightly faded and frayed at extremities, sewing a little loose; ink inscription 'Elsa Forman | from Haha | Novr.82 | 24' to front free endpaper verso.Scarce first and only edition of John Moyr Smith's illustrations of the life of Theseus, accompanying the text of Plutarch's Life. Though purporting to be 'after the manner of early Greek paintings', the plates the work of the Scottish architect, designer, and art historian John Moyr Smith (18391912) are not dissimilar in style to his celebrated literary tiles, which illustrate scenes from Aesop and the Bible to Shakespeare and Tennyson. His work owes much, however, to Alexander 'Greek' Thompson and his circle in Glasgow, whom he had known after training at the Glasgow School of Art; soon after he moved to Manchester as assistant to Alfred Derbyshire, and in 1866 to London as assistant to George Gilbert Scott. He made few forays into book illustration, although in 1869 he was sent to Paris to meet Gustave Doré on behalf of their mutual publisher Moxon. Provenance: Elsa Forman (d.1962), Honorary Secretary of the KeatsShelley Memorial Association and niece of the bibliographer and forger Harry Buxton Forman. No copies traced in the US; Library Hub finds copies at the British Library, Bodleian, Cambridge University Library, NLS, and NLA only.
