This is a finely printed and beautifully bound biography of John Markle (1858-1953), one of the nation's most accomplished and affluent engineers and coal mining executives. His chief feat of engineering was the building of the Jeddo Tunnel in Pennsylvania, a drainage tunnel that expels mine water through five miles of solid rock. Under the influence of his friend J. P. Morgan, Markle became a prominent philanthropist, giving away more than $17 million to worthy causes through the John and Mary R. Markle Foundation. During the period from the retirement of William Matthews to the establishment of the Club Bindery, there was no better binder in America than Henry Stikeman, who exhibited "extraordinary skill . . . in design, inlaying, and tooling." (Maser Collection) Stikeman's firm did high-end publisher's bindings as "bread and butter" work, and luxurious gilt-tooled bindings for collectors.

220 x 138 mm. (8 5/8 x 5 3/8"). Three volumes. Preface by Paul Bourget. MOST ATTRACTIVE NAVY BLUE MOROCCO, GILT, BY STIKEMAN & CO. (stamp-signed on front turn-ins, covers with gilt-ruled frame, oblique fleurons at corners, raised bands, spine compartments intricately gilt, with lancets and volutes emanating from a central rosette, gilt lettering, turn-ins with gilt floral roll, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt, other edges untrimmed. With 10 etchings by A. Salmon after Leopold Flemeng. A Large Paper Copy. Short, thin cracks in half of the six joints, isolated faint marginal discoloration or tiny spots of foxing, other trivial internal defects, otherwise very fine--clean and fresh internally, in well-preserved attractive bindings. This is an attractive Large Paper Copy of Scarron's mirror of the slightly seamy side of 17th century French society, offered here in bindings by an important New York firm. "The Comic Novel" follows the picaresque adventures of young Le Destin, who joins a troupe of actors on the road. Prominent among the characters is the diminutive M. Ragotin, who writes dramas for the company and is constantly trapped in absurd imbroglios. The present work was originally published in parts in 1651 and 1657. The author had planned a third part, but died before the work was completed. Paul Scarron (1610-60) was not only known for his prolific output as a novelist, dramatist, and poet, but also for his curious and difficult life. He was severely deformed by what is thought to be polio, endured considerable pain, and, in an effort to find relief, became addicted to opium. Nevertheless, at 42, he married the beautiful young Françoise d'Aubigné, who, after Scarron's death (and by then known as Madame de Maintenon), became Louis XIV's mistress and eventually his morganatic wife. Our three-volume edition of "Comique" was produced by Damase Jouaust, who specialized in luxury printings intended for bibliophiles, issued on special papers, and often with pleasing etchings, as here. This copy is significantly enhanced by its appealing midnight blue bindings. During the period from the retirement of William Matthews to the establishment of the Club Bindery, there was no better binder in America than Henry Stikeman, who exhibited "extraordinary skill . . . in design, inlaying, and tooling." (Maser Collection) Stikeman's firm did high-end publisher's bindings as "bread and butter" work, and luxurious gilt-tooled bindings for collectors. According to Jeff Stikeman, binding expert (and great-great-grandson of Henry's brother George), those bindings signed "Stikeman" or "Stikeman & Co." (as here) are finished by hand and are much preferred to the firm's later blocked bindings, which are signed "Stikeman & Co., NY." (The former were done from 1887 to about 1915, the latter from 1915 to 1939.). No. 64 OF 170 LARGE PAPER COPIES on Holland paper, from a total edition of 220.

175 x 105 mm. (6 7/8 x 4 1/4"). Two volumes. PRETTY RED MOROCCO, GILT, BY STIKEMAN & CO. (stamp-signed on front turn-in), covers framed by gilt fillets, oblique lancet tools at corners, raised bands, spines gilt in compartments with lancet centerpiece and leafy curls at corners, gilt lettering, densely gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Front pastedowns with engraved bookplate of Samuel F. Barger. ESTC T146028. âGutter open at final leaf of volume I, one opening with marginal printer's smudge, other trivial imperfections, but still a fine, attractive set, the text fresh and clean, and the appealing bindings with almost no signs of use. This well-known work on English poetry was written by one of the major literary figures of the 18th century and attractively covered by a leading American binder somewhere around the turn of the 20th century. Ranging from Pope and Milton to lesser-known bards like Gay and Garth, the present collection of poetry was chosen by writer Oliver Goldsmith (1728? - 1774), who also wrote brief introductions to many of the poems, and added extensive explanatory footnotes to Pope's "Use of Riches." During the period from the retirement of William Matthews to the establishment of the Club Bindery, there was no better binder in America than Henry Stikeman, who exhibited "extraordinary skill . . . in design, inlaying, and tooling." (Maser Collection) Stikeman's firm did high-end publisher's bindings as "bread and butter" work, and luxurious gilt-tooled bindings for collectors. According to Jeff Stikeman, binding expert (and great-great grandson of Henry's brother George), those bindings signed "Stikeman" or "Stikeman & Co." (as here) are finished by hand, as opposed to the firm's later blocked bindings, which are signed "Stikeman & Co., NY." The former were done from 1887 to about 1915, the latter from 1915 to 1939. The hand tooled bindings are very much more desirable. The attractive set comes from the library of lawyer and railroad financier Samuel F. Barger (1832-1914), a longtime director of Cornelius Vanderbilt's New York Central Railroad. FIRST EDITION, First State (volume I with pp. 265-69 misnumbered pp. 165-169, p. 145 with catchword "Thoug").

FIRST EDITION. 235 x 157 mm. (9 1/4 x 6 1/4"). Two volumes. PLEASING CRIMSON CRUSHED MOROCCO, ELABORATELY GILT, BY STIKEMAN & CO. (stamp-signed on rear turn-in), covers gilt in a Grolieresque design, raised bands, spines gilt in compartments with a stylized azured floral spray. With 16 photogravure portrait plates. âLight wear to joints, occasional minor foxing, otherwise a fine set, internally clean and bright, and in lustrous bindings. Offered in very attractive bindings by an eminent bindery, this is an historical work of some interest by an underappreciated Australian novelist. Ethel Florence Richardson, using the pen name of Henry Handel Richardson (1870-1946), wrote novels, short stories, and journals, but her writing did not attract notice until she was in her 60s. At that time, she gained considerable acclaim, being nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932. The present set is an historical account of the dukes of the great Howard family, the first volume being titled "Norfolk Line 957-1646" and the second "Suffolk Line 1603-1917."During the period from the retirement of William Matthews to the establishment of the Club Bindery, there was no better binder in America than Henry Stikeman, who exhibited "extraordinary skill . . . in design, inlaying, and tooling."
