In den WarenkorbALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1905). (1898) ND (1905) 2nd edition. Small 8vo (130 x 190mm). Ppxii,272+ 4pp ads. 4 colour plates of salmon flies, b/w plates, ills, top edge gilt. Green decorative cloth. Second issue of the 1905 edition (Routledge's Country Books serie…s): Cloth not embossed but printed in brown and yellow, top edge not gilt. Ex-library usual faults and stamps, end-paper removed. Reading copy only. Principally of interest today are the recipes for salmon flies of that time. Sir Herbert was an ardent fly-tyer: his chapters on flies and fly-dressing are important reference points for modern enthusiasts. He lists the original dressings for such standard classics as the Wilkinson, the Mar Lodge, Dusty Miller and Silver Doctor - but also, in a fairly long list, many less familiar patterns such as the Rory, the Owenmore, the Hell Fire, the Butcher, and more. Sir Herbert's comments are amusing and instructive - the Butcher he calls "A venerable pattern with nothing to recommend it except its antiquity and killing properties, for it is a tiresome fly to dress and an ugly beast to look at." Of the Childers he notes: "Not a favourite of mine, but guilty of thousands of murders." His own flaming scarlet and gold creation, the "Sir Herbert", invented almost in jest to annoy conservative ghillies, he cannot recommend "for this reason, that the hackle lying over the tinsel is very apt to be cut" by a salmon's teeth. Typically practical advice from an experienced fisherman. In addition to the many fascinating details included in the text, are some of Sir Herbert's superb fishing anecdotes. He was one of the wittiest of fishing writers, and well understood the value of interspersing the lessons and information with some entertainment. .

In den WarenkorbFull-Leather Style Binding. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Bound in full leather with the bookseller ticket of William Macgill, Edinburgh stationer, anchoring the purchase to the Maxwell family's Edinburgh residency in the late 1850s. The book contains 6 used leaves of fine hand-illuminated miniatures and borders (3 finished, 3 unf…inished). Remaining leaves blank. The Artwork & Leaves: Leaf 1: Monreith Armorial (Finished, 1858) Armorial illumination belonging to a 13-year-old Sir Herbert Eustace Maxwell. Cartouche bears his full title, family heraldic shield (saltire, double-headed eagle, hedgehog), date MDCCLVIII (1858), and motto "REVIRESCO". Vine border with thistles in ink, watercolour, and gold shell. Leaf 2: St. John the Evangelist (Finished) Miniature depicting St. John writing his Gospel with his symbolic eagle, set against a Patmos coastal landscape with castles and ships. Gothic script excerpt from 1 John 4:9. Gilded medieval-style border with blue/gold acanthus leaves, wild strawberries, and marginalia of a dragon emerging from a snail shell. Leaf 3: Medieval Border & Dragon (Unfinished) Decorative medieval-style bar border with gold leaf gilding, ivy, and two exotic birds, terminating in a painted fire-breathing dragon. Preserves delicate graphite underdrawings showing Maxwell's layout mapping process. Leaf 4: Psalm 119 & Natural History Studies (Finished) Devotional miniature on Psalm 119:9-16 in Gothic script with red/blue line-fillers and a gold filigree "W" initial. Border features solid gold ground with pomegranate vines captioned "(mala granata)", populated with a blue butterfly, caterpillar, dragonfly, beetle, and snail. Leaf 5: The Lorsch Gospels Facsimile (Finished) Full-page illumination copying the 9th-century Carolingian "Incipit" page to the Gospel of John from the Codex Aureus of Lorsch, via H.N. Humphreys' 1849 manual. Monumental John 1:1 text in gold/uncial characters on purple background, framed by Romanesque columns and thick shell gold. Leaf 6: The Adoration of the Magi (Unfinished) Nativity miniature showing the Adoration of the Magi under the Star of Bethlehem. Text block beneath features an illuminated initial "B" in blue and gold, with the remainder pencilled in graphite reading "Behold the Lamb of God". Lower third preserves raw graphite layouts of acanthus leaves, pansies, and strawberries. the artwork represents the pinnacle of mid-Victorian aristocratic art education during the Gothic Revival craze, using fine shell gold, inks, and gouache. The precise insects and pomegranates foreshadow Maxwell's later renown as a celebrated Scottish naturalist, gardener, and botanical painter. The inclusion of finished pages alongside unfinished pieces makes this a rare pedagogical artifact demonstrating Victorian illumination techniques. CONDITION: Some cracking to the upper external joint of the binding, but the cover remains structurally well attached. Text block clean and tight. MAXWELL OF MONREITH, Sir Herbert Eustace (1845-1937) (illustrator).

Edition de luxe limited to 275 numbered copies printed on handmade paper and with colour and black and white photograph plates tipped-in. A hard book to find in this form, particularly so with its original dust-wrapper. "The following chapters, which have their origin in papers originally contributed to the Scotsman, are designed to meet, and possibly to stimulate, that interest in British woodland resources which has so greatly increased within recent years. The author's aim has not been to present either a scientific botanical treatise or a manual of technical forestry; he has attempted to describe the leading characteristics of the forest growths indigenous to the United Kingdom, and to indicate those exotic species which have proved, or are likely to prove, best adapted to the British climate, whether as economic or purely decorative subjects." Contents include:- The oak; The beech; The Spanish chestnut; The ash; The linden tree or lime; The elms; The sycamore and other maples; The plane; The horse chestnut; The poplars; The birch; The willows; The hornbeam; The alder; The tulip tree; The hawthorn; The rowan and its relatives; The gean tree, or wild cherry; The walnut; The holly; Pea-flowered trees; The elder; The hazel; The ailanto; The pines; The silver firs; The spruce firs; The cedar; The larch; The yew; The cypress and its kin; The wellingtonia and the redwood; The gingko or maidenhair-tree; The aracaria or monkey puzzle. .
