249 x 165 mm. (9 3/4 x 6 1/2"). 18, [2] pp. [2] leaves (blank, colophon). Attractive dark green crushed morocco, gilt, by Riviere & Son (stamp-signed on front turn-in), covers with wide frame and central panel tooled in gothic architectural motifs, raised bands, spine compartments with double gilt rules, gilt lettering, turn-ins framed by gilt fillets and dots, scarlet watered silk pastedowns and endleaves, all edges gilt (old repair to head of spine). With one burnished gold initial "A" with intricate penwork embellishment in red and blue, THE WORD "FOR" WRITTEN IN LARGE BURNISHED GOLD LETTERS SIX TIMES, all with delicate penwork embellishment in blue or green, TWO WITH A FAIRY-WINGED PUTTO perched on the crossbar of the "F," another "FOR" written in blue, THE "F" IN BURNISHED GOLD ON A BACKGROUND OF BRUSHED GOLD WITH A PINK ROSE SPRIG, a tailpiece of white jasmine blossoms entwined with a spray of lilac blooms, FOUR ESPECIALLY FINE, BRIGHT OVAL VIGNETTES (approximately 90 mm. across) SHOWING LOVELY GARDENS, one of these accompanied by A HALF BORDER OF HUCKLEBERRY VINE, another at the front as part of A SUPERB DOUBLE-PAGE OPENING FEATURING A PROFUSION OF PINK ROSES forming a frame around a gilt-edged cartouche bearing the title in blue, surrounded by delicately blue and brown tendrils (on the left) AND A FRAME OF GRAPEVINES BEARING SUCCULENT PURPLE FRUIT ON A BRUSHED GOLD BACKGROUND (on the right) an oval view of a lake and mountains at its foot, this frame enclosing text beginning with the words "GOD ALMIGHTY" in thickly burnished gold, accented with curling blue and brown acanthus leaves and blue penwork. One page with trivial thumb smudge, faint variations in shade of the vellum, but A SUPERB SPECIMEN, the vellum smooth and creamy, the paint and gold bright, and the virtually unworn binding with shining gilt. Featuring several gorgeous moments, this is a luxurious and appropriately luxuriant illuminated manuscript of Bacon's prescription for the ideal princely garden. The most prominent modern creator of illuminated manuscripts, our artist, Alberto Sangorski (1862-1932), started his professional life as secretary to a goldsmith's firm before being attracted to the book arts at the age of 43. He began doing illuminated manuscripts that were then bound by his brother Francis' firm, Sangorski & Sutcliffe, with the colophon crediting the manuscript to the firm rather than acknowledging Alberto's contribution. Partly because of this failure to recognize his work, Alberto had a falling out with Francis sometime around 1910, at which time he took his talents to Riviere, the chief competitor to his brother's bindery. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829, then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881, he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership, at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son, and the bindery continued to do business until 1939. Riviere was happy to allow Albert to add a colophon proclaiming (as here) that "This manuscript . . . was designed, written out, and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski." The decoration in the present work has an airy, light-hearted aura, with the bright gold lettering, the delicate, intricate penwork, and the whimsical fairies conveying considerable joy and playfulness. And the beauty of the manuscript is heightened by the extremely fine condition here.…

London: Chatto & Windus, 1910. 4to, (24) chromolithographed pages, many heightened with gold. Contemporary gift binding of green morocco panelled with blind and gilt rolls, gilt turn-ins, green floral endpapers. Boards professionally rehinged, one corner worn, light age-toning. Very good. § Second impression. Designed, written out, and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski. Villa Vailima on the island of Upolu in Samoa was the final home of Robert Louis Stevenson and the place of his death in 1894. Fanny Stevenson explains in the introduction that these prayers were written by her husband for the household's regular evening devotions in the last months of his life. The prayers were first published in 1904. This edition, wholly calligraphed and illuminated by the master calligrapher Alberto Sangorski, is an impressive example of chromolithography and a beautiful gift book.…

268 x 190 mm. (10 1/2 x 7 1/2"). 31, [1] pp., [1] leaf (colophon). LOVELY ROSE-BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT, INLAID, AND BEJEWELLED (front turn-in stamped in gilt "Made in England," but almost certainly by Sangorski & Sutcliffe), covers framed by multiple plain and dotted gilt rules, sprays of tulips at corners, central panel of upper cover with animated floral design of onlaid white morocco flowers, each set with a petite rose-cut diamond, and of onlaid lilac and green morocco thistles, all on a stippled ground, raised bands, spine compartments with spray of onlaid purple morocco berries, green morocco label, turn-ins framed with gilt ribbon roll and other decorative rolls, ivory watered silk endleaves, all edges gilt. In the original black pebble-grain morocco case, with cushioned velvet lining (upper cover detached). WITH ILLUMINATED TITLE PAGE FEATURING A VIGNETTE of the Tower of London and a border with knights on chargers, SIX ADDITIONAL VIGNETTES, AND FOUR FULL-PAGE MINIATURES, AS WELL AS 10 FULL BORDERS, THREE THREE-QUARTER BORDERS, two half borders, AND 13 LARGE ILLUMINATED INITIALS, all executed with great imagination and skill. Pages with miniatures separated by silk guards (others separated by paper). Leather with very slight (naturally occurring?) variations in hue, otherwise the volume IN PRISTINE CONDITION. This is a beautifully bound and exceptionally attractive modern illuminated manuscript celebrating English poetry and culture, executed by the 20th century's undisputed master of illumination, Alberto Sangorski. The text contains three early English poems: "While a Prisoner" by James I, of Scotland; "Merciless Beauty" by Geoffrey Chaucer; and "The Nymph's Reply" by Sir Walter Raleigh. Each poem is followed by a brief section of biographical information about the author. In addition to the many beautiful decorated initials and sparkling borders, Sangorski has also painted a total of seven vignettes and four full-page miniatures. The latter include an image of a woman dressed in Medieval garb, reading a small book in a courtyard; an intimate portrait of the "Merciless Beauty" herself, caught in a state of half-dress; the meeting of three young peasant women in a lush rural setting; and the boldly painted coat of arms of Scotland. Complex knotwork designs and precise gilt tooling among the borders demonstrate Sangorski's range and abilities, and the text and capitals could not be more perfectly executed. The color scheme in this manuscript is particularly attractive, featuring dark greens, dusky blues, and rich purples that contrast beautifully with the bright gold applications and white highlights. Most important, the vignettes and full-page miniatures are painted with exquisite taste and exacting skill; they reward repeated and protracted viewing. Alberto Sangorski (1862-1932) started his professional life as secretary to a goldsmith's firm, became attracted to the book arts at the age of 43, and began doing illuminated manuscripts that were then bound by his brother Francis' firm, Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Sometime around 1910, Alberto and Francis had a falling out, and the artist went to work for Riviere, the chief competitor to his brother's firm. The lovely jewelled binding here is not described in Ratcliffe, and the signature, "Made in England," offers no indication of the binder's identity. The design, however, clearly suggests that the creator at work here must have been familiar with the work of both Sangorski and Riviere, and it is possible that our binder may have been previously employed by one of these firms. The work is clearly on par with what those workshops were producing. Whatever the case may have been, the binding is an appropriately fine addition to an already beautiful manuscript.…

265 x 207 mm. (10 1/2 x 8 1/4"). 41, [3] (blank) pp., [1] leaf (colophon). RESPLENDENT IN DARK BLUE MOROCCO, RICHLY GILT AND ONLAID, BY RIVIERE & SON (stamp-signed on front doublure), covers with wide frame of swirling gilt vines bearing red morocco blossoms and blue and green berries, bordered by strips of green and tan morocco, central panel of upper cover with recessed oval containing a portrait of a young nun sculpted in leather with painted details, this encircled by an onlaid ivory morocco rosary and surrounded by an exuberant spray of red morocco poppies with green and tan leaves, central panel of lower cover with an arch-backed black morocco cat beneath the arch of a gray morocco horseshoe at center, a black and red witch's hat above the horseshoe, and the whole on a very densely stippled gilt ground, incised with calligraphic curls and set with nine silver stars around the cat, this centerpiece surrounded by curling gilt vines bearing red morocco and gilt posies, raised bands, spine compartments framed with tan morocco, and containing a gilt and onlaid floral sprig, TAN MOROCCO DOUBLURES bordered by a strip of purple morocco, this with onlaid green morocco frame adorned with gilt latticework, densely stippled gilt cornerpieces set with purple morocco passionflowers, all accented with inlaid circles of purple, navy, and green in varying sizes, leather hinges, apricot watered silk endleaves, all edges gilt. In the original silk- and velvet-lined green morocco box. Numerous two- to three-line initials in red, blue, or burnished gold, three three-line illuminated initials, 11 five- to six-line initials in shades of purple, blue, and green, with highlights of pink and burnished gold, two of these with extensions running the length of the text and two incorporated into full borders, four very large initials (12 lines or more) in colors and gold, five full borders, that on title page incorporating a small oval miniature of Whittier, and TWO FULL-PAGE MINIATURES, one of a young nun at prayer, the other of two lovers walking in a forest. Calligraphed colophon SIGNED by Sangorski stating: "This manuscript . . . was designed, written out, and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski for Messrs. R. Rivi?re & Son, Bookbinders & Booksellers to his Majesty King George V. London. This manuscript will not be duplicated. This manuscript was executed by me." From the collection of Phoebe A. D. Boyle (her sale at Anderson Galleries, 19-20 November 1923, lot 368). Front flyleaf with engraved bookplate of comic book pioneer M. C. Gaines (1894-1947); typed description from "Kolb Collection" (Louis Kolb?) laid in. Ratcliffe, "Albert Sangorski Bibliography" SJR 245. Vellum a bit wavy (as is typical), but A BEAUTIFUL COPY, the leaves creamy and bright, being painted with rich colors and glittering gold, and IN A FLAWLESS BINDING. This is an outstanding example of the artistry of Alberto Sangorski and that of the binders, gilders, and finishers of Riviere & Son, the volume being executed at the zenith of their creative powers, and formerly owned by the most important collector of Sangorski's manuscripts. Sangorski has written out and illuminated three poems by American author John Greenleaf Whittier: "The Female Martyr," inspired by an 18-year-old nun from the Sisters of Charity who died nursing cholera victims; "The Witch's Daughter," set in Puritan New England; and "Memories," a lover's touching reminiscences of youthful romance. In addition to elaborate initials and borders in his preferred palette of blues, purples, and greens brightened with burnished gold, Sangorski has created two full-page paintings, one of the beautiful young nun at prayer, the other of youthful sweethearts strolling arm-in-arm through a wood. Alberto Sangorski (1862-1932) started his professional life as secretary to a goldsmith's firm, became attracted to the book arts at the age of 43, and began doing illuminated manuscripts that were then bound by his brother Francis' firm.…
