Top edge gilt. Matching marbled endpapers, a few later gatherings uncut. Spine darkened, joints and extremities rubbed. Bottom edge foxed. Signed by Thackeray with a thick nib in black ink to half title, front and rear foxed, occasionally into margins, else, clean and tight. Very good. A first edition copy of Anne Thackeray's 1869 short story collection, signed in "her round, ballooning hand," and dressed in a handsome, if well-handled, signed binding by Roger de Coverly; unusual signed. The British author Anne Thackeray (later Lady Ritchie; 18371919), whose novels and short stories were "highly regarded in their time" and included a novelisation of the life of the C18th artist Angelica Kauffman RA, was born into a literary family. The daughter (and biographer) of William Makepeace Thackeray and Isabella Gethin Creagh Shawe, later, she was 'Aunt Anny' to Virginia and Vanessa Stephen and their siblings. Thackeray's younger sister Minny married Leslie Stephen in 1867 and the trio lived, fairly successfully, together until Minny's death from pre-eclampia in 1875; Thackeray wrote To Esther, as well her novels The Village on the Cliff (1867) and Old Kensington (1873) at their shared home in Onslow Gardens, London. Thackeray Ritchie had a highly variable signature; her early preference for thick, loaded nibs is also seen in inscribed copies held by Eton Library, including a copy of To Esther inscribed to Minny Stephen and featuring a moving, private doodle of intertwined hands. Roger de Coverly (1831-1914) was a London-based and Zaehnsdorf-apprenticed bookbinder. His bindery was patronised by aristocrats, artists and writers, including T E Lawrence. His style was "rather conservative and retrospective but the good quality materials used [as here] and his stated goal, to bind 'excellently rather than cheaply' made up for lack of originality, for some at least" (Marks, 2015).

T.Fisher Unwin. 1900. First edition. Very beautifully bound by Roger de Coverly in full vellum gilt, gilt decorations to compartments of spine. Marbled endpapers, all page edges gilt. Name stamp of Roger de Coverly to inside of front free endpaper. Spine slightly soiled, boards less so. A fine example from one of the top binders of this period. The book itself is very scarce and explores the beauty and divinity of the Russian countryside. The author uses vivid and descriptive language to paint a picture of the natural landscapes and the people who inhabit them. The poem is divided into several sections, each one focusing on a different aspect of Russian life and culture. It is considered a classic work of literature and a masterpiece of poetic expression. The themes explored in the book include nature, spirituality, and the human experience. This very attractive binding is the work of Roger de Coverly (1831-1914), one of the top binders in England during the latter part of the 19th century. He was apprenticed to Zaehnsdorf in 1845, worked for J. & J. Leighton from c. 1852-63, then established his own bindery. In the period of 1800-1900, his bindings were in great demand, as were his services as a teacher. He did a good deal of work for William Morris, and he counted among his illustrious students the younger Charles McLeish as well as another top English bookbinder - T. J. Cobden-Sanderson, who served an apprenticeship with him in 1883-84. Working mostly in the classical style, De Coverly and his two sons demonstrated craftsmanship that was consistently of the highest quality."Captain Adams" used the pseudonym "Auguste Smada" (Smada being Adams backwards) when printing a poem titled "Rus Divinum" around November 1900. He was an officer of the 5th Lancers who had recently returned from the front during the Second Boer War. He was a linguist and wrote from Tokyo to the London Standard newspaper regarding matters related to Russia, specifically concerning the Russo-Japanese War around 1904.
