‎The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary for 1845‎

‎London: Longman & Co. n.d. 1845 First edition. Publisher's white glazed paper over cloth boards. Elaborate arabesque pattern with floral designs stamped in gilt blue and red on front cover back cover ruled in blue with gilt arabesque ornament in center. Small folio. 27 leaves printed on heavy card stock including title-page in gilt and colors printed on one side only; four introductory leaves printed in Black Letter in red and black on both sides and 24 leaves of facsimiles from the Hours of Anne of Brittany printed on one side only. All edges gilt. Spine covering worn away exposing ecru cloth board. Covers toned and a bit worn. Contemporary donor's inscription to one Louise Hayter on first page of text. The former owner has neatly written in birth and death dates and major happenings throughout the calendar. Although we do not know her exact identity she seems to be a member of the family of Sir George Hayter 1792-1871 the painter and engraver. A good and interesting copy. Noel Humphreys 1810-1879 master of Victorian illumination produced several of these calendars in the 1840s reproducing portions of various French manuscripts. All are scarce and because of the fragility of the binding many copies have been rebound.OCLC lists the present one in nine locations six in North America Bridgeport Public LibraryConnecticut College Delaware Harvard Johns Hopkins and the Free Library of Philadelphia. The DNB notes only the calendars for 1845 and 1846 though OCLC lists calendars for 1844 and 1848 as well Longman & Co., hardcover‎

‎The Miracles of Our Lord‎

‎London: Longman & Co 1848. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. 8vo. iv1312pp. Thirty-two pages are chromolithographed by Humphreys in addition there is a leaf of the illuminator' s remarks and one comprising an index of the miracles. Bound in the original black papier-mache covers designed to look like carved ebony. The binding was based on one carved in ivory in the 12th Century and has medallions of the principal miracles intertwined with ornate decorations and the title. The front and rear covers are identical. The book is exuberantly illustrated using chromolithography on 32 pages alternating between hot bright colors and cool pages subtly tinted with various shades the whole combining to make both a magnificent tribute to Medieval illustration and to the then new and novel technique of chromolithography. Marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Nicely rebacked in plain black leather;; a few small cracks in the binding edges and corners neatly mended but a very good copy.

‎The Origin and Progress of the Art of Writing‎

‎London: Ingram Cooke and Co 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. viii 176 p. interspersed with plates. 27 cm. Colour frontispiece 10 colour plates 17 b&w plates. Black thermoplastic binding or possibly papier-m�ch�. Marbled endpapers and gilt text block edges. Respined with original spine overlaid. Binding cracked front board more so than rear. Bookplate states presented to Coleman P. Hyman from Asher Lyons in Chatham Kent England August 1884. Small label attached to front free endpaper. The owner's name in Hebrew Greek etc. Samples of hieroglyphs p. 35 and alphabet on p. 133. Some thumbing and spotting. Dampstains to plates. Additions pasted on to rear of plate across from p.127 to rear of plate across from p. 145 to rear of plates 20-1 and to pp. 138 and 140 across from plate 176 and rear endpapers. Colour plate 22 has been cut down and reinserted. Some tears in pastedowns/red paper background. <br/><br/>Title continues: "A connected Narrative of the Development of the Art Its Primeval Phases in Egypt China Mexico Etc.; Its Middle State in the Cuneatic Systems of Nineveh and Persepolis to Its Introduction to Europe Through the Medium of the Hebrew Phoenician and Greek Systems and Its Subsequent Progress to the Present Day." We believe this binding to be thermoplastic which was used mainly for photographic cases ambrotypes and daguerreotypes but also for such household goods as hairbrushes. The process uses gum shellac wood fibre or other fibrous material with a colour dye heated and mixed together and pressed into a mould. The numerous additions to this book by a former owner add greatly to its interest. Presentation bookplate to Coleman P. Hyman born Chatham Kent in 1862 where he was honorary secretary of the local synagogue. Hyman moved to Australia where he held many positions in various Jewish organizations. He returned to England ca. 1910 and died there in 1929. He is known to have been a keen collector of bookplates himself. The extra items glued and written inside may assumed to be his.
