An exceptionally fine example from one of the major English collections. Francis I, King of France (1515-47), first of five monarchs from the Angoulême branch of the House of Valois to rule France ascending to the thrown in 1515. The Renaissance ruler was famed for his patronage of the arts and intellectualism as well as his political maneuvering with other European powers. Interestingly, it is not Francis featured in this Cosway style portrait, but the Duke Annas de Montmorency (c.1493-1567), a favorite of the king, and active statesman for Francis I's court. George Bayntun (1873-1940) was the founder of Bayntun Bindery (1894) dedicated to using traditional hand-crafted techniques and high-quality materials. "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" (Princeton). Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939, transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery," which is still in existence and family owned. Although named after the English miniaturist Richard Cosway (1742-1821), the desirable "Cosway Binding" with its jewel-like portrait miniature set into a fine binding was first developed at the turn of the century by J.H. Stonehouse, director of London's Henry Sotheran Booksellers. Their miniatures were painstakingly crafted by the talented painter Miss C. B. Currie (1849-1940). As the style grew in popularity, other publishing houses quickly began to reproduce this technique-each developing their own desirable take on the aesthetic-referred to as "Cosway style.". Fine.…
