Provenance: John Lea Nevinson (1904-1986); Donald King (1920-1998) & Monique King (1922-2020) [Colas 2824; Vinet 2191; Lowndes 2533; Brunet V, 566]. Strutt's superb plates trace a history of the dress and customs of the English, with references as far back as Egypt and Greece. Most of his imagery was drawn directly from manuscripts in the British Museum and the Bodleian Library. Joseph Strutt (1749-1802), who "may justifiably be regarded as the first serious historian of dress in England, and his pioneering works of scholarship were heavily drawn upon by nineteenth-century costume historians. Unlike many of his contemporaries, who doubted the reliability of artistic sources as historical evidence, he employed a comparative analysis of the manuscripts, showing that they were reliable indicators of changes not just in matters of dress but also of the 'manners and customs' of the time. He was one of the first to realize the potential value of visual material as a historical source rather than as simply serving an illustrative purpose. He showed an early appreciation of the intrinsic merit of medieval art and was unusual in producing near-facsimile engraved reproductions of the originals." (Jennifer Harris for DNB). From the library of the dress and textile historian John Lea Nevinson (1904 - 1986) who worked at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 1929-1939, mostly in the Textiles Department. His interest in dress and textile history a well as renaissance iconography and prints continued after W.W.II while he worked at the Ministry of Education. Nevinson was a frequent contributor on these subjects for several journals including Connoisseur, Apollo, and Costume. His library was bequeathed to the textile historians Donald King (1920-1998) & Monique King (1922-2020).…

A beautifully bound set of an attractive edition, printed in a large legible type. Arthur Murphy's "Essay on the Life and Genius of Samuel Johnson" was first published in 1792. The set has an appealing Scottish provenance, with the ownership inscription at the head of the title pages of "Mrs Forbes, Echt House", Aberdeenshire. This was the home of James Forbes (1775-1850), who married in 1801 Jane Niven (1795-1842); thence by descent to Anthony Keith-Falconer, 7th earl of Kintore (1794-1844), with his small embossed stamp on blanks before each title, a fox head over a scroll bearing the motto "Floreat Scientia" (let knowledge flourish). Kintore was a keen and notoriously reckless huntsman. "At his hunting box in Scotland, which he called "The Peat Stack,"on all the china, glass, and plate, was a fox's head engraved, with the motto 'Floreat Scientia,' and he had the same device on his travelling carriage" (Loder-Symonds). That doyen of 19th-century sporting writers, Charles James Apperley ("Nimrod"), described him memorably: "He is as hard as flint. A muddy ditch is a bed of roses to Lord Kintore" (Hunting Reminiscences, 1843, p. 214). F. C. Loder-Symonds, A History of the Old Berkshire Hunt from 1760 to 1904, 2013. 12 vols, octavo (210 x 131 mm).

Vancouver had served on Captain Cook's second and third voyages and "was made commander of a large-scale expedition to reestablish British rights, resulting from the Nootka Convention, at Nootka Sound; to thoroughly examine the coast south of 60 degrees in order to find a possible passage to the Atlantic; and to learn what other establishments had been founded by other powers. This voyage became one of the most important ever made in the interests of geographical knowledge. Vancouver sailed by way of the Cape of Good Hope to Australia, where he discovered King George's Sound and Cape Hood, then to New Zealand, Hawaii, and the northwest coast of America. Vancouver surveyed the coast of California; visited San Francisco, San Diego. and other Spanish settlements in Alta California. investigated the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered the Strait of Georgia; circumnavigated Vancouver Island; and disproved the existence of any passage between the Pacific and Hudson Bay" (Hill). "This is one of the most important voyages for the history and the cartography of the northwest coast in general and of Alaska in particular" (Lada-Mocarski).
