(BINDINGS - RIVIERE & SON). BACON, SIR FRANCIS
BACON'S ESSAYS AND COLOURS OF GOOD AND EVIL
London and New York: Printed by Cambridge University Press for Macmillan and Co 1891. From the "Golden Treasury" series. 210 x 133 mm. 8 1/4 x 5 1/4". xxiii 1 388 pp.Edited with notes and glossarial index by W. Aldis Wright M. A. Trinity College Cambridge. <br/> HANDSOME NAVY BLUE MOROCCO GILT BY RIVIERE AND SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with border composed of five plain rules and incorporating a scalloped corner configuration containing a pentagonal element raised bands spine intricately gilt in compartments outlined by plain and stippled rules enclosing an inner frame repeating the cover design and at the center an elaborate fleuron emanating from a floral tool and punctuated by many tiny dots turn-ins densely gilt maroon glazed endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Engraved frontispiece in three states and the title page with the same image in a fourth tissue guard before title page. A Large Paper Copy. Spine just slightly and uniformly sunned toward blue-green title page with faint offsetting from tissue guard another page with a small area of darkening from laid-in piece of paper one leaf with two tiny marginal tears expertly repaired one page with trivial foxing but all of these imperfections insignificant and in general a very fine copy in a most attractive binding the text uniformly fresh bright and clean and the binding lustrous and virtually unworn.<br/> <br/> This is a special luxury copy of a late 19th century edition of Bacon's famous "Essays" first printed in 1597. As Oxford Companion indicates the text here comprises Bacon's "collections of reflections and generalizations and extracts from previous authors woven together . . . into counsels for the successful conduct of life and the management of men." Some of the essays "deal with questions of state policy . . . some with personal conduct . . . some on abstract subjects such as 'Truth' 'Death' and 'Unity' . . . and some reveal Bacon's delight in Nature such as the pleasant essay 'Of Gardens.'" Day says that "in Bacon's hand the essay is an impersonal gem of worldly wisdom" and most of the essays reflect an intention to provide "cold-blooded instruction on how to get ahead in life." In short incisive prose modeled after Tacitus "the aphoristic skill and wise experience of Bacon unite to form some of the most memorable and penetrating phrases in English." DNB indicates that this is an important edition pointing out "the accuracy of Wright's text and the concise learning of its notes." In very fine condition our volume gives special pleasure from the handsomely decorated Riviere binding to the high quality laid paper to the carefully printed text within enormous margins. <br /> <br /> Riviere is one of the foremost names in English binding partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business until 1939.

(ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM - MODERN). SANGORSKI, ALBERTO, Designer, Scribe, and Illuminator BACON, FRANCIS
OF GARDENS. AN ESSAY
London: Especially written out and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski ca. 1915. 249 x 165 mm. 9 3/4 x 6 1/2". 18 2 pp. 2 leaves blank colophon. <br/> Attractive dark green crushed morocco gilt by Riviere & Son stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with wide frame and central panel tooled in gothic architectural motifs raised bands spine compartments with double gilt rules gilt lettering turn-ins framed by gilt fillets and dots scarlet watered silk pastedowns and endleaves all edges gilt old repair to head of spine. With one burnished gold initial "A" with intricate penwork embellishment in red and blue THE WORD "FOR" WRITTEN IN LARGE BURNISHED GOLD LETTERS SIX TIMES all with delicate penwork embellishment in blue or green TWO WITH A FAIRY-WINGED PUTTO perched on the crossbar of the "F" another "FOR" written in blue THE "F" IN BURNISHED GOLD ON A BACKGROUND OF BRUSHED GOLD WITH A PINK ROSE SPRIG a tailpiece of white jasmine blossoms entwined with a spray of lilac blooms FOUR ESPECIALLY FINE BRIGHT OVAL VIGNETTES approximately 90 mm. across SHOWING LOVELY GARDENS one of these accompanied by A HALF BORDER OF HUCKLEBERRY VINE another at the front as part of A SUPERB DOUBLE-PAGE OPENING FEATURING A PROFUSION OF PINK ROSES forming a frame around a gilt-edged cartouche bearing the title in blue surrounded by delicately blue and brown tendrils on the left AND A FRAME OF GRAPEVINES BEARING SUCCULENT PURPLE FRUIT ON A BRUSHED GOLD BACKGROUND on the right an oval view of a lake and mountains at its foot this frame enclosing text beginning with the words "GOD ALMIGHTY" in thickly burnished gold accented with curling blue and brown acanthus leaves and blue penwork. One page with trivial thumb smudge faint variations in shade of the vellum but A SUPERB SPECIMEN the vellum smooth and creamy the paint and gold bright and the virtually unworn binding with shining gilt.<br/> <br/> Featuring several gorgeous moments this is a luxurious and appropriately luxuriant illuminated manuscript of Bacon's prescription for the ideal princely garden. The most prominent modern creator of illuminated manuscripts our artist Alberto Sangorski 1862-1932 started his professional life as secretary to a goldsmith's firm before being attracted to the book arts at the age of 43. He began doing illuminated manuscripts that were then bound by his brother Francis' firm Sangorski & Sutcliffe with the colophon crediting the manuscript to the firm rather than acknowledging Alberto's contribution. Partly because of this failure to recognize his work Alberto had a falling out with Francis sometime around 1910 at which time he took his talents to Riviere the chief competitor to his brother's bindery. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business until 1939. Riviere was happy to allow Albert to add a colophon proclaiming as here that "This manuscript . . . was designed written out and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski." The decoration in the present work has an airy light-hearted aura with the bright gold lettering the delicate intricate penwork and the whimsical fairies conveying considerable joy and playfulness. And the beauty of the manuscript is heightened by the extremely fine condition here. Especially written out and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski unknown

(INDIA, 19TH CENTURY ILLUSTRATED BOOKS ON). FINDEN, WILLIAM and EDWARD, Engravers BACON, THOMAS
THE ORIENTAL ANNUAL; CONTAINING A SERIES OF TALES LEGENDS AND HISTORICAL ROMANCES
London: Published for the Proprietor by Charles Tilt 1839-40. FIRST EDITION. 198 x 122 mm. 7 1/2 x 4 7/8". Two volumes. <br/> Extremely pleasing contemporary crimson pebble-grain morocco covers with a double gilt rule surrounding a large scrolling central frame raised bands spine gilt in compartments with elaborate small tools radiating from floral centerpieces turn-ins gilt patterned endpapers all edges gilt. WITH A TOTAL OF 36 ENGRAVED PLATES 18 in each volume by William and Edward Finden and others as called for after sketches by Bacon and Captain Meadows Taylor. Joints just a bit rubbed at head and tail two small scratches to one cover corners with just a whisper of wear occasional faint offsetting from plates the faintest foxing or stains to a very few plates a bit of thumbing otherwise beautiful copies with only the most trivial of imperfections.<br/> <br/> These are handsomely bound and extraordinarily well-preserved copies of the final two volumes of a series inspired by the author's time on the Indian subcontinent. The son of a noted sculptor Thomas Bacon 1813-92 was a talented artist whose service in the Bengal Horse Artillery furnished him with endless fascinating and "exotic" subjects for his sketches and drawings. In 1837 he published "First Impressions and studies from nature in Hindostan" which found an appreciative audience at a time when illustrated travelogues were much in vogue. He produced illustrations for Wilson's "Oriental Portfolio" and for the present "Oriental Annual" which had brought stories and views of the Far East to the British public beginning in 1834. In the 1839 edition Bacon and his very able engravers the Finden brothers present dramatic scenes of the seas around Tenerife and of the peaks of the Himalayas along with wonderfully detailed depictions of "monumental architecture" including temples tombs and military installations. For the 1840 volume Bacon collaborated with his friend Captain Philip Meadows Taylor 1808-76 a longtime British administrator with extensive knowledge of the region. There is more focus on cities in this volume and the authors recount both legends and historical facts to set the scene. The plates include a portrait of the emperor of Delhi but focus on city views and fine architecture. Produced when William 1787-1852 and Edward 1791-1857 Finden were in an extended period at the top of their craft the plates here are characterized by the great delicacy of detail sophisticated gradation of light and rich texture of surface for which they were known. While volumes from this periodical series appear on the market regularly they are rarely so finely bound and in such remarkable condition as the present pair. Published for the Proprietor, by Charles Tilt unknown

Map of the United States Showing the Territory in Possession of the Federal Union January 1864
<p>London: Lithographed by Bacon & Co. Map Publishers and Importers of American Maps and Books 1864. 27½ x 19 inches. Vibrantly hand-colored. Two closed tear expertly mended on verso with tissue. Housed in archival Mylar sleeve. Very good.</p> <p>An unusual 1864 Civil War map distinguishing territory controlled by the Federal Union from that remaining in possession of the Confederacy. Together areas tinted purple green and yellow show the claimed territory of the Confederate States at the beginning of the war basically all the slave states except Delaware most of it under Confederate military control.</p> <p>A closer reading of the map’s color key however reveals a shrinking Confederacy. Green areas emphasize territory reclaimed by the Union leaving the yellow portion to show the narrowing Rebel remains. Importantly the reclaimed Union territory includes areas of high slave concentrations now oases of Black emancipation. These comprise the Virginia Tidewater the Sea Island coast of South Carolina and Georgia and the Black Belts of Northeastern Mississippi and along the Mississippi River from Tennessee to New Orleans. A table below the title reporting free and slave populations shows that the number of slaves under Confederate control was reduced by ~38% as of January 1864.</p> <p>The depiction of the Rocky Mountain territories of the West is notable. Dakota Territory expands through present-day Montana to meet Washington State and “Idao†so spelled i.e. Idaho lacks its upper panhandle and includes today’s Wyoming. Other features of the West include the outline of “Indian Territory†now Oklahoma and the location and names of multiple forts and military camps there and in central and western Texas two “Camp Colorados†New Mexico and Arizona all areas formerly claimed as Confederate territory.</p> <p>Eberstadt: “The special feature which gives outstanding interest to this cartographical production is the inclusion of all that was hereafter to be Wyoming within the boundaries of Idaho and the naming of that Territory ‘IDAO.’†The map was issued with Massie’s America: The Origin of her Present Conflict; her Prospect for the Slave and her Claim for Anti-Slavery Sympathy….

[Bacon, Francis H?]
Photo Album of Bermuda and the Caribbean Islands
Barbados Bermuda Antigua St. Lucia and other islands 1916. Very good . 7¼†x 10¼â€. Cloth over flexible thin card. 100 pages with 84 photographs pasted down. Most photos measure around 4†x 6†or 5†x 7†and three quarters are captioned. Very good plus: light overall wear; most photos a bit wavy with minor dark patches at edges where adhesive has bled through. <br /> <br /> This is a collection of vivid well-composed and neatly captioned photographs taken in Bermuda and several islands in the Caribbean. <br /> <br /> The album seems to have been compiled on a steamer trip and portrays a handful of white visitors and some apparent residents of the islands with a few hints as to their purpose there. Bermuda's the site for 16 of the shots; we see white women at “Mrs. Curtis' House at Sommerset†“Mr. Daws' House and Lilly Farm†the hotels “Princess†and “Frascati†and a local driver enabling “A Carriage Ride.†Five photos in Antigua reveal the “Lunatic Asylum†and “Lepper Hospital†as well as great images of natives amid a “Street Scene.†There are 28 shots from Barbados showing “School Children†natives on “Broad Street†“Cutting Sugar Cane†and “The Old Water Works.†We also see “Dr. Messiah House at the Hospital†“A Sunday Meeting at Mr. Manning's House†and natives assisting with “Mildred Bowler taking a Donkey Ride.â€<br /> <br /> Three of the eight photos at Dominic reveal a group “On Board the S.S. Caraquet†and there are lovely images “In the Rossau Valley†and “In the Garden on the Island.†The Caraquet was a Royal Mail Line ship sailing from the West Indies to Canada from the 1910s until it wrecked off Bermuda in 1923. Another image claims to show the “S.S. Guiana at St. Kits with Roosevelt on Board†a trip the former president made in 1916 which led to our date attribution. There are clipped images lauding the SS Vestris a luxury steamer that sailed from 1912 to 1928 shots of natives “Coaling at St. Lucia†views of “Monserat†and the “Island of Martinique.â€<br /> <br /> We think it's possible that these photos were taken by noted architect designer and world traveler Francis H. Bacon as the initials FHB appear in the corner of each shot. After graduating from MIT in 1877 Bacon worked on important archaeological excavations in Asia Minor and became the leading designer for renowned furniture firm A.H. Davenport and Company the namesake of the sofa. He also designed the shrine that holds the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution in the Library of Congress. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens holds a collection of photo albums he compiled on his travels from 1895 to 1919 which included steamer trips to the Mediterranean Vienna Paris and London. Some of the images are online and while we didn't see any with an imprint that matches ours we did find an archivist's blog post that shared that Bacon's architectural designs were “easily identified by his signature initials: FHB.†We also note that Bacon bears a strong resemblance to a man seen in two of the present photos. <br /> <br /> A great collection of images from Bermuda and the Caribbean certainly worthy of and useful for further research. unknown

This was the radical ancient constitution which. was first fully articulated during the civil wars by polemicists such as William Prynne and Bacon himself. Early a mainstay of the Long Parliament's cause the ideology consisted of the following propositions: first while government in general was from God the particular form came from the people. Writing a summation of his work in 1651 Bacon re-emphasized the continuity of an elective and contractual monarchy and a parliament which oversaw its proper functioning. With a salute to both past and present he wrote at the very end of his tract: 'as I found this nation a commonwealth so I leave it and so it may be forever'" ODNB. Wing B348B.
