hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Spine with six compartments and two labels, nicely detailed, although in a somewhat later style. Bookplate of the eminent collector Boies Penrose II on the front pastedown and second bookplate of George & Laura Gifford on the front free endpaper. Rectangular rules around edges of boards, all edges marbled with matching marbled endpapers, edges of boards with fine minute marquetry-like decoration. Two early bookseller's labels on front pastedown endpaper, first one (presumably) from Matthews & Co., Bradford, and second one from Willis & Sotheran, London. The recent book "The Art of Thomas Bewick" by Diana Donald launched a reevaluation of Bewick, seeing him as an innovator within the framework of the age of invention. The book was reviewed in The New York Review of Books under the heading "England's Great Neglected Artist" in October, 2015.…

leather_bound. First edition. 332 pages. 21.5 x 14 cm. Illustrated wood engraved frontispiece Thomas Bewick,336 wood engraved vignettes by the Bewicks. GORDON N. RAY 52: notes "Bewick deplored this well-produced volume, which to his mind could only serve `to feed the whimsies of bibliomanists,' but he tolerated its publication. Though some of the engravings hardly rise above chapbook level (a number of them are copies), the book is useful as a record of his work before he achieved his mature style." Basically clean throughout save for some toning to first few and last leaves. Raised bands, spines panels decorated in gilt floral motifs, gilt cover border panels. Armorial bookplate of Samuel Harford Samuels and modern one of William Tarum Fehsenfeld. Contemporary tree calf, red leather spine label lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers. All edges marbled. Fine. Bewick, Thomas (illustrator).…

8vo (210 x 130mm), frontispiece and pp. [ii], xl, 332; well rebound in modern green morocco, covers decorated in gilt, spine titled in gilt; marbled endpapers, gilt edges. First edition thus. This is a publication in which, as the publisher candidly confesses in the preface, 'Mr. Bewick has no concern, or interest whatever', because it consisted of blocks bought up by the Newcastle bookseller Emerson Charnley which he then used without Bewick's consent. Tattersfield tells the story of this edition at some length (II pp. 622-5), and distinguishes it from a later reprint by Henry Bohn (undated, but c. 1850) which does not have Hodgson's colophon at the very end of the volume. Although all the wood-engravings are by the Bewicks (except the frontispiece portrait of Thomas, which is by Charlton Nesbit), the contents are a mixture of blocks made for various publications. Tattersfield TB 2.576. Provenance. Bookplate of C.W. Dyson Perrins (1864-1958), the great collector of medieval manuscripts, books and other works of art.…

Hard Cover. FIRST EDITION. Quarto. Royal thick paper copy. [2], xl, 332 pp. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Thomas Bewick, vignette to title page and quartet of portraits of Bewick to pp. xxvi-xxxi; illustrated throughout with engraved head and tail-pieces. Superb full bottle-green levant morocco bound by Riviere, with five raised bands, gilt titles to spine, heavy gilt foliate decoration to compartments, and triple gilt-ruled border to boards with embellished corners and central gilt floral cartouche. All edges gilt; marbled endpapers and gilt dentelles. Boards very slightly scuffed. Armorial bookplates of Lord Battersea and the Duke of Gloucester, to front paste-down and ffep respectively. Scattered light foxing, mainly to endpapers, otherwise contents are crisp. A handsome copy in excellent condition. Companion volume to Fables of Aesop, produced by Emerson Charnley from blocks he purchased from Thomas Wilson of York, with no input from the engraver. "Mr Bewick has no concern or interest whatever in the work submitted by the public" and though he accepted a copy for his own library following some acrimonious correspondence, the work was far from satisfactory to Bewick himself. This is an outstanding copy in a superb binding, with the added provenance of being from the library of Prince Henry of Gloucester. Prince Henry (1900-1974) was the third son of King George V and Queen Mary, and the younger brother of Kings Edward VIII and George VI.

In 1784, him and his brother John were employed by local printer "to engrave a number of woodcuts, for different publications in which he was engaged. Many of them were inserted in.a volume entitled 'Select Fables' in 1784.These cuts.engraved my Messrs. Berwick were afterwards purchased by Hall and Elliott, the printers of the Newcastle Courant Newspaper.after remaining with them for several years, was sold to Messrs. Wilson, of York, printers who had in their collection various other cuts.by the Bewicks.Thus accumulated, amounting to upwards of twelve hundred in number, was offered to, and bought by, the publisher of the present volume."
