Annotated in pencil, with the first three items dismissed as forgeries, and Item 4 said to have been 'bought at Pearson's Sale | Cost 1000 M.' Full-page foreword begins: 'This unique and truly extraordinary collection commences with the autograph of Antonio del Pollajuolo (born in 1426), and closes with that of Millais (born in 1829, died in 1896), thus covering a period of four hundred and seventy years in the history of the world's art.'

Peckham'. 4pp., 12mo. Closely written, with corrections. The first section concludes: 'Jacobi was certainly an experienced and successful printer of fine printed volumes and H.M. paper. William Morris drew inspiration from Chiswick Press that led to his founding the Kelmscott Press. His first experiments in the use of type designed at K. P. were carried out under Jacobi. C. P. also used his Golden Type in a series of Classical Reprints. | In 1919 the press passed out of the hands of George Bell & Sons having been purchased by the firm of Wm. Griggs & Sons Ltd., Lithographic and Collotype printers of Peckham.' TWO: Typescript [by Newbery], comprising a chronology headed 'CHISWICK PRESS' (4pp., 12mo) and 'SOME OPINIONS' (3pp., 12mo). With a few corrections in Newbery's autograph. The chronology covers events between 1860 and 1943. The following is an example of the style: '1930 | More than 100 years after Nephew Whittingham set up in Tooks Court, the premises in which he worked yielded to the destiny of all material things and had to be pulled down. Meanwhile new premises had been built at New Southgate adjoining the Litho and Collotype works and the Chiswick Press moved into same this year. Christopher Sandford now joined the Board of Directors.' The 'Opinions' begin with an extract from 'Plomer's "Short History of English Printing"' and end with a passage 'From a Review of "The Player's Shakespeare"', and include an endorsement by 'Francis Meynell - Proprietor of the Nonesuch Press' and 'An American Client'. THREE and FOUR: Two Typed Letters Signed to Newbery from Adam Maitland. The first (1p., 4to; 1p., 12mo) on letterhead of the Chiswick Press; 18 December 1952. He would like to 'bring Chiswick Press into the public eye', and feels that Newbery is 'the only person well able to supply [.] a brief history of the bare facts of Chiswick Press from the point where the Grolier book on Charles Whittingham ends'. He hopes that Newbery will 'hear well of the Press these days under Mr. Tollit whom we have taken on specifically to build up the quality of work there again to the highest point'. The second (1p., 4to) on letterhead of Eyre and Spottiswoode Limited; 9 January 1953. In response to the next item. He thanks Newbery for the 'most helpful historical notes', which were 'just what I felt we needed', and discussing 'the distribution list of Mr. Tollit's selection of the old Chiswick ornaments'. FIVE: Carbon copy of typed letter [from Newbery] to Adam Maitland. 8 January 1953. 1p., 12mo. Enclosing Item Two above. 'I am unfortunately unable to trace the date on which we changed the name of the business back to Chiswick Press Ltd., which perhaps you will feel is important. This I believe could be traced from the old Minute Book if someone in your office would care to look.' SIX: Anonymous printed promotional booklet titled 'Chiswick Press | Interesting information for those who appreciate the Importance of this famous Press in the History of Printing'. 15pp., 4to. With an additional four full-page collotype plates. Stitched, in brown printed card wraps. In good condition, lightly worn and aged. The 'Foreword' begins with a passage dating the booklet to 1930: 'The occasion of the removal of the Chiswick Press from Tooks Court, London, E.C.4, where it has carried on book production and general printing for over one hundred years, seems a fitting opportunity to give its varied and numerous clients a few brief note on the history and production of the Press.' SEVEN: Printed booklet titled: 'Picture Making. An Address delivered by F. J. NEWBERY, Esq. to the Salesmen of The Osborne Company Ltd. at Leamington, Dec., 1924'. 16pp., 12mo.

An elegant production from Whitingham for Eton College prizewinners, the first leaf printed in small caps, reading: "Hunc Librum [recipient's name in ms.]: "Ab ? Etona ? Discedenti Bona ? Omnia ? et ? Fausta Ominatus D ? D E ? C ? Hawtrey Magister ? Informator A ? D ? M ? DCCC ? XL ? I [X in ms.]" In 1844, Charles Whittingham "persuaded Henry Caslon to revive the 'old-faced Roman' types . Caslon and his partner were skeptical, but of course they supplied what was wanted. Pickering zealously seconded Nephew Whittingham's project, and, indeed put it to the trial at once by ordering an Eton prize-book, 'Juvenalis Satira' in quarto form, printed in old-face great primer, with red type=borders and ornaments. But there were many delays in the production of the book" (Warren, p. 149-150). Whittingham also reprinted for Longmans "The Diary of Lady WIlloughby", an eighteenth-century novel, using the same type. These books "had the effect of setting the fashion for old-face types" Uncommon.
