The only copy of this item on OCLC WorldCat is in the Canadian National Archives. An attractive and characteristic piece of late nineteenth-century French printing. The present copy is 14 + [1] pp, 16mo. With frontispiece and eight illustrations and vignettes. Stitched booklet (13 x 7.5 cm). In wraps printed in black and red. In fair condition, lightly aged, in grubby wraps. Tipped-in before the back cover, is a two-page 'Specimen of the text and illustrations on vellum of the paper-mills of Le Marais', on a bifolium, with a page of text on the reverse of the first leaf and a full-page illustration on the second. On reverse of title: 'The illustrations in this catalogue are taken from the books that have already appeared in La Petite Collection Guillaume'. Colophon reads: 'THESE BOOKS | have been composed, engraved, printed, stitched and bound in cloth at the printing office of Edouard Guillaume 105, boulevard Brune, 105 | PARIS'. The text begins: 'The highest tribute that could be offered to La Petite Collection Guillaume is the manner in which it has been imitated both in Europe and America.' Later on the announcement is made that 'Messrs. George Routledge & Sons believe that the great Anglo-American public have sufficiently good taste not to support imitations of this kind, and therefore intend to issue in English the original Guillaume Collection produced in the same marvellous manner as the French Edition.' Details of forthcoming titles and price are given, on a plan of two volumes a month. The illustrators are named as 'Conconi, Fournier (Grand Prix de Rome), Gambard, Marold, Mittis, Rossi, and others'. The final two pages carry a list of 'Volumes in Preparation'.…

Printed on one side of 9 x 13 cm card, with rounded corners, edged in silver. A tasteful example of Victorian printing, by a printer whose calling card boasted of his 'Specialities in the best class of work.' Very good, lightly-aged. The word 'Sonnet.' is printed at the head in gothic type, the rest being in roman. The poem begins: 'O GREATEST Poet of the living age! | For many a year to come thy fame will ring | Throughout the land. Grateful to thee, I bring | A simple tribute, writ on simpler page.' Beneath the sonnet, to the left, is the date 'June, 1892.', with 'E. DRAPER' on the right along the same line. At the foot of the page is the following, in italic: '[This Sonnet has been kindly received and approved by Lord Tennyson.]' A scarce piece of Tennysonian memorabilia, with no other copy located, either on COPAC or OCLC WorldCat. The author is presumably Eleanor Draper, who published a number of works in Banbury between 1892 and 1915. The printers' details are not given, but the item comes from the archive of Cheney & Sons, 'General, Commercial & Artistic Printers, Banbury'. For more about the firm see 'John Cheney and his descendants, printers in Banbury since 1767' (1936) and the Victoria County History volume for the County of Oxford, Banbury Hundred.…
