(BINDINGS - OTTO SCHULZE). SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE
POEMS
Edinburgh: Printed by Turnbull and Spears for Otto Schulze & Co September 1903. No. 25 OF 40 COPIES printed on Japanese Vellum. 208 x 176 mm. 8 3/4 x 7". v 289 1 pp. 1 leaf colophon. <br/> MOST ATTRACTIVE DARK BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY OTTO SCHULZE & CO. stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with complex strapwork frame raised bands spine compartments with lobed centerpiece gilt lettering gilt-ruled turn-ins top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. With woodcut white-vine border on title page and on the first page of three poems large white-vine initial printed in red on title page numerous six-line white-vine initials throughout. Printed in red and black. Nearly invisible short scratch near head of front board a couple of corners gently bumped trivial internal imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY with virtually no signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> This collection of poems by the great Romantic rebel is a strictly limited deluxe production from Edinburgh publisher Otto Schulze clearly intended to capitalize on the allure of books produced by the great English private presses. Operating during the first 10 or 15 years of the 20th century Schulze usually had his books printed by George Robb or as here Turnbull and Spears with some copies then finely bound under his firm's name. Such bindings often were done for rather than by the publisher or bookseller whose name is stamp-signed on the volume but since our volume says that the binding is by--and not for--Schulze we can only assume that our publisher had an in-house binder. Whether in-house or outsourced bindings signed by Schulze are consistently attractive but are not common: since 1975 ABPC has listed six such morocco bindings two of them described as "elaborate" or "extra.".

(BINDINGS - COSWAY-STYLE). SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE
THE POETICAL WORKS
London: Printed at the Ballantyne Press for Reeves & Turner 1892. Third Edition with the Notes of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. 188 x 122 mm. 7 3/8 x 4 3/4". Two volumes. Edited by H. Buxton Forman. <br/> PARTICULARLY FINE RED CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT AND ONLAID BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE stamp-signed on front turn-in covers framed by multiple plain and decorative rolls cornerpieces with the gilt torch of liberty extending obliquely from an onlaid green morocco heart bracketed by volutes front boards with central onlaid citron morocco medallion stamped with the poet's gilt monogram rear boards with onlaid citron morocco pansy surrounded by a gilt collar with the quote "Pansies let my flowers be" from "Remembrance"; raised bands spine compartments with onlaid green morocco quatrefoil at center volutes at corners volume I with FRONT DOUBLURE OF BROWN MOROCCO semé with rows of alternating quatrefoils and dots at center A MINIATURE PORTRAIT OF SHELLEY UNDER GLASS framed by a laurel wreath inlaid with four red morocco cinquefoils navy blue moiré silk endleaves all edges gilt and delicately gauffered. Housed together in a fleece-lined red cloth drop-back box. Frontispiece in each volume vignette title pages. Front flyleaves with engraved bookplates of Edward Laurence Doheny and Carrie Estelle Doheny. A FLAWLESS AND SPARKLING SET.<br/> <br/> This is the outstanding Doheny copy in lovely bindings of a body of literature graced with a lyricism Day asserts is "unmatched elsewhere in English verse in its ethereal ideal beauty." While the notes of Shelley's wife appended here have aroused considerable denigration she is accused among other things of making her husband's verse less political than it actually was her editorial work is nevertheless professional and has remained an essential source for the study of Shelley's work. As Betty T. Bennett explains "biographers and critics agree that Mary Shelley's commitment to bring her husband the notice she believed his works merited was the single major force that established Shelley's reputation during a period when he almost certainly would have faded from public view." Thanks to her efforts Shelley 1792-1822 is one of the best-known English poets and an icon of the Romantic movement. According to DNB our editor Henry Harry Buxton Forman 1842–1917 "channelled a general enthusiasm into a minute study of textual details for which his careful and exacting temperament was ideally suited. His patient application produced impressive editions of Shelley" who was along with Keats Forman's main literary interest. After studying under and then working for Douglas Cockerell Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912 when Francis tragically drowned. Despite this loss the firm grew and prospered employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century. The "Cosway" binding with painted miniatures inlaid in handsome morocco apparently originated with the London bookselling firm of Henry Sotheran about 1909 the year G. C. Williamson's book entitled "Richard Cosway" was remaindered by Sotheran and presumably given this special decorative treatment. The name "Cosway"--referring to the British miniature painter Richard Cosway 1742-1821--was then used to describe any book so treated whoever its author. This set was bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for book dealer J. W. Robinson of Los Angeles who supplied many books for the superb collection of Estelle Doheny 1875-1958 one of the most distinguished women book collectors of the 20th century whose magnificent library was especially rich in fine bindings. Volumes from her collection are sought after for their especially fine condition. [Printed at the Ballantyne Press for] Reeves & Turner unknown

(BINDINGS - ZAEHNSDORF). SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE
THE REVOLT OF ISLAM; A POEM IN TWELVE CANTOS
London: Printed for John Brooks 1829. 229 x 152 mm. 9 x 6". xxxii 1 leaf section title 270 2 pp. without the initial blank. <br/> LUXURIOUS OLIVE GREEN MOROCCO VIGOROUSLY AND SPLENDIDLY GILT BY ZAEHNSDORF stamp-signed on front doublure and with the firm's oval exhibition stamp on rear endleaf covers framed by multiple plain and decorative rules and garlands of palm and olive branches large central panel densely tooled with 13 horizontal rows of either four or five elegant floral sprigs of various shapes some within flower-framed ovals others on a stippled background; flat spine gilt in similar fashion gilt titling TAN MOROCCO DOUBLURES with intricate central gilt arabesque on a field semé with gilt dots and daggers tan morocco endleaves with gilt border top edge gilt and beautifully gauffered to match the floral design on the covers. From the collection of Cornelius J. Hauck though apparently with his bookplate removed. Granniss 45. Spine sunned toward brown a ubiquitous problem with green morocco very slight rubbing to joints top inch of rear joint a little more significantly so front flyleaf with small closed tear at fore edge title page with small mended half-inch tear in the same place but a very desirable copy nonetheless the text clean and pleasing and the riotously embellished binding almost flaming with gold.<br/> <br/> With distinguished provenance this is a glittering exhibition binding that makes a memorable display with its fine and dense pointillé ground its exquisitely gauffered top edge and its especially refined floral and leafy ornamentation being particularly notable. A spiritual odyssey of lovers divided and seeking reunion "The Revolt of Islam" is Shelley's longest work despite its title the poem has little if anything to do with Islam though religion is generally addressed. The work was issued late in 1817 as "Laon and Cythna" but certain passages of that piece disturbed the publisher who demanded that they be changed or removed. Shelley reluctantly agreed and his alterations included the substitution of the present title. We have the Brooks edition with a new title page using the text of the first edition second issue with the fly title correctly bound as d1 and the preface ending on p. xxi. As Granniss indicates "the original quires and cancel leaves of the work fell into the hands of John Brooks who issued them in 1829 with a new title." Our volume comes from the illustrious collection of Cincinnati businessman arborist and philanthropist Cornelius J. Hauck 1893-1967 whose fortune was made in the family brewery; the auction of his library at Christie's in 2006 totaled more than $12.4 million this item was lot #593 selling for $3360.

This first appearance used John Hunt's edited version. <br /> <br /> Inscribed in each volume "Julia Robinson from her affectionate friend Mary Shelley Putney 22 Dec. 1839". This inscription documents Mary Shelley's close connection with the Robinson family who figure for many years in her journals as well as in the Journals of William Godwin her father. From February 1827 Mary became close to Julia and Isabel or Isabella Robinson daughters of Joshua Robinson an Oxford graduate and a successful builder with a large family and a large residence Park Cottage in Paddington. After Isabella bore an illegitimate child she and Mary Shelley shared lodgings in the south of England in the summer of 1827. The inscription also points to a long-secret chapter in Mary's life documented by Betty T. Bennett in Mary Diana Dods A Gentleman and a Scholar 1991. Mary Shelley's friend Mary Diana Dods was the illegitimate daughter of a Scottish earl and wrote numerous works for Blackwood's Magazine under the name David Lyndsay including a story collection Tales of the Wild and the Wonderful 1825. Beginning in 1827 Mary Dods assumed the name and persona of Mr. Walter Sholto Douglas and with Isabella Robinson determined to live on the Continent where it was cheaper and where the legitimacy of Isabella's child would not be questioned. Mary Shelley secured the passports for the couple to travel to France as Mr. and Mrs. Walter Sholto Douglas. In April 1828 Mary Shelley travelled to Paris with Mr. Robinson and Julia "who has become Mary Shelley's new young companion" Bennett 38 to visit the Douglases. During much of that stay Mary was ill with smallpox and "her great regret is that she endangered Julia Robinson" Bennett 136. Mr. Sholto Douglas was later imprisoned for debt and died in France. Isabella was estranged from Mary Shelley when she returned to England in 1830 but Mary and her son lived with Julia Robinson for part of 1833 and clearly preserved friendly ties thereafter. <br /> An important book with an evocative association. Forman 77; Graniss 82. For Isabella Robinson and David Lyndsay see Betty T. Bennett. Mary Diana Dods A Gentleman and a Scholar 1991 Edward Moxon unknown

(SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE). Parkes, W Kineton
Shelley's Faith. Its Development and Relativity
London: Printed for Private Circulation Only 1888 1888. First and only edition: "Of this Book Twenty-five Copies have been printed." There were also apparently three copies printed on vellum as noted in one OCLC record. Fine copy. Small 4to original printed tan paper boards untrimmed. An essay on Shelley's faith which concludes "Just as Religion is above all creeds dogmas and theologies whatsoever so was Shelley's Faith above those articles and doctrines which many accept in place of Religion. Shelley's Faith was in the Eternal Goodness in the Eternal Truth and in Eternal Love." W. Kineton Parkes 1865-1938 was a novelist art historian and librarian who had some involvement with the Pre-Raphaelites and compiled an interesting anthology entitled Painter Poets. His Shelley's Faith was probably first read as a paper possibly before the Shelley Society though that is not so stated. This publication has the earmarks of the involvement of T. J. Wise but the stated limitation may not be as fallacious as in some of Wise's publications; it is indeed scarce. Bookplate on the front paste-down of Louis V. Ledoux. London: Printed for Private Circulation Only, 1888 unknown

Margaret Shelley 1801-1887 who owned this copy prior to her nephew was one of the poet's four younger sisters. The book combines two novels by Griffin issued together for this second edition the year after their first appearance.

(VALE PRESS). (BINDINGS - BAYNTUN-RIVIERE). SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE
THE POEMS
London: Printed at the Ballantyne Press for Vale Press 1901-02. ONE OF 300 COPIES on paper and 10 on vellum. 240 x 145 mm. 9 1/2 x 5 3/4". Three volumes. <br/> VERY PRETTY GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY BAYNTUN-RIVIERE stamp-signed on front turn-ins covers framed by long-stemmed pansies raised bands spine compartments with pansy centerpieces densely gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Fine elaborate woodcut initials and four pages with intricate borders all by Charles Ricketts. Ransom p. 436; Tomkinson p. 170. A breath of shelfwear to tail edges occasional trivial foxing but A BEAUTIFUL SET clean and fresh internally in unworn bindings.<br/> <br/> This is a particularly beautiful English set being printed in London by one of the most important Arts & Crafts private presses and being bound in Bath by an eminent long-lived bindery. The Vale Press was founded--and closely supervised by--Charles Ricketts who was perhaps the most significant figure in the private press movement after William Morris. From 1896-1903 Ricketts ran the Vale Press which produced books that in Cave's words were "far truer to the spirit of fifteenth-century printing than Kelmscott work." The Press issued nearly 50 titles and both its impressive output and considerable artistic success can be attributed to the fact that Ricketts who was remarkably skilled as a designer painter and illustrator was in control of every facet of the operation. Tomkinson observes that "although the actual printing was done on the premises of the Ballantyne Press the Vale books were built entirely on Mr. Ricketts' design under his personal supervision on a press set apart for his sole use; the founts decorations illustrations including the engraving on the wood watermarks and pagination were all the work of Mr. Ricketts and it is doubtful if in the history of printing books have been made which reflect the invention and work of one man more explicitly than do the Vale books." Our bindings are the work of a firm created by the merger of two venerable English binderies. Founded in Bath in 1894 the Bayntun bindery has provided beautiful bindings for bibliophiles for more than 130 years. In 1937 Bayntun acquired the Riviere bindery which had been in business since 1829 and began signing its bindings "Bayntun-Riviere" as here. It is now the last of the great Victorian trade binderies still in family ownership. Although he lived only 30 years Shelly 1792-1822 left an enduring legacy. His remarkable lyricism powerful imagination energetic espousal of political change and vision of the consequential role of the poet he said "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world" combined to exert lasting influence on the poets who came after him. The pansy motif used here--for the marginal decoration in the text as well as in the all-over design of the bindings--is especially apt: in his poem "Remembrance " Shelley wrote "Pansies let MY flowers be" emphasis his.

[Bacall, Lauren]; [Shelley, Perchy Bysshe and Mary]; Jenney, Shirley Carson
Moments with Shelley Taken thro' the Clairaudience of Shirley Carson Jenney Psychic
Culver City California: The Highland Press 1941. Hardcover. Very Good. Cloth gilt-stamped lettering on upper board; 12mo; pp. 55 1. Inscribed by the author on the FFEP "To Lauren Bacall -- with compliments and every best wish from Shirley Carson Jenney." Shirley Carson Jenney d. 1953 American psychic and clairaudient medium produced several volumes which she claimed to have been communicated to her by the spirit of Percy Bysshe Shelley including this volume and one previous "The Great War-Cloud" 1938. Some light bumping at spine tips and along edges of boards. <br/><br/>Lauren Bacall born in the Bronx as Betty Joan Perske 1924-2014 was an American actress known for her distinctive voice and sultry looks. Howard Hawks director producer screenwriter changed her first name to Lauren and Perske adopted "Bacall" a variant of her mother's maiden name of Romanian Jewish descent as her screen surname. The young Lauren Bacall worked as an usher at the St. James Theatre and as a fashion model. She made her acting debut on Broadway in 1942 at age 17 as a walk-on in "Johnny 2x4." By then she lived with her mother on Bank Street Greenwich Village and in 1942 she was crowned Miss Greenwich Village. Though Diana Vreeland is often credited with "discovering" Bacall putting her on the cover of "Vogue" in 1943 much of the iconography surrounding Bacall she cultivated herself with the help of Nancy Hawks Howard Hawks's wife who advised Bacall on clothing elegance manners and taste. Even Bacall's trademark voice required arduous training -- at Hawks's suggestion Bacall worked with a voice coach to make her voice lower and deeper. Her screen debut as the leading lady in the Humphrey Bogart film "To Have and Have Not" 1944 made her an instant star. She married Bogart in 1945 and continued in the film noir genre alongside him in "The Big Sleep" 1946 "Dark Passage" 1947 and "Key Largo" 1948. She starred in the romantic comedies "How to Marry a Millionaire" 1953 with Marilyn Monroe and "Designing Woman" 1957 with Gregory Peck. She co-starred with John Wayne in his final film "The Shootist" 1976. Bacall worked on Broadway in musicals earning Tony Awards for "Applause" 1970 and "Woman of the Year" 1981.

[Fine Binding - Cosway style] Shelley, Percy Bysshe
The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley in 2 vols.
London: Reeves & Turner 1886. Second edition. Fine. Two octavo volumes 7 1/4 x 4 11/16 inches; 184 x 119 mm. 572; 580 pp. A spectacular ca. 1920 Cosway-Style binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for the J.L. Hudson Company stamp-signed in gilt on rear turn-in. Full red crushed levant morocco over beveled boards covers lavishly gilt in the Art Nouveau style with inlaid green and light brown morocco inlays. The first volume with a central green morocco medallion with Percy Bysshe Shelley's initials in gilt. The second volume with a central green morocco medallion with the phrase "Pansies/Let My Flowers Be" stamped in gilt. Spines with five raised bands elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments four of which have onlaid green morocco flowers. Double gilt-ruled board edges and elaborate gilt turn-ins dark blue watered silk liners and endleaves all edges gilt and gauffered. The first volume with a front doublure of dark blue crushed levant morocco multi-ruled in gilt. In the center is a superb gilt framed hand-painted portrait miniature 3 x 2 3/8 inches; 76 x 60 mm. of Percy Bysshe Shelley. The miniature is surrounded by a rectangular recessed frame with eight onlaid red morocco flowers and twenty-four onlaid beige morocco leaves. The front and back joints of both volumes have been expertly and almost invisibly repaired. Housed in a custom-made felt lined half red morocco with a red felt divider clamshell case two spines paneled and lettered in gilt in compartments. <br /> <br /> A wonderful early Sangorski & Sutcliffe Cosway-style binding. The miniature is of exceptional quality and is quite possibly the work of Miss C.B. Currie. The J. L. Hudson Company commonly known simply as Hudson's was a retail department store chain based in Detroit Michigan. Hudson's flagship store on Woodward Avenue in Downtown Detroit was constructed beginning in 1911 with additions throughout the years before being 'completed' in 1946. The building was named after the company's founder Joseph Lowthian Hudson and was demolished on October 24 1998. In 1961 it was the tallest department store in the world and at one time claimed to be the second-largest department store after Macy's in the United States by square footage. The Grand River Avenue Book Shop was on the Mezzanine floor.<br /> <br /> The story of the Sangorski & Sutcliffe Bindery reads like something out of a novel-when two of Douglas Cockrell's talented apprentices Frances Sangorski and George Sutcliffe were laid off during an economic downturn they began working out of an attic. Eventually their bindery would be famous for its intricate multicolored leather inlays and elaborate gold and jeweled bindings. 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.

[Fine Binding - Riviere & Son]; Percy Bysshe Shelley
The Sensitive Plant
London: Robt. Riviere & Son 1910. A fine example. Square sixteenmo 5 1/16 x 3 15/16 inches; 129 x 100 mm. 46 2 blank pp. Title-page and initial letters printed in red and black. Handsomely bound ca. 1910 by Rivière & Son stamp-signed in gilt on lower turn-in. Full dark blue crushed levant morocco covers bordered in gilt surrounding an ornate floral design stamped in gilt each with twelve inlaid red morocco flowers spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt board edges and turn-ins cream paper liners and end-leaves top edge gilt. Neat ink inscription on front free end-paper and a small gold bookplate. <br /> <br /> Shelley's poem The Sensitive Plant is a beautiful and tragic poem commemorating the brevity of life and immortality of cyclical nature. Written after death of his son while Percy and Mary Shelley struggled with their grief in Pisa the poem consists of four stanzas with three sections charting the change of seasons. It is set in a garden bursting with blooms but highlights the sensitive plant-a mimosa-with its humble leafy foliage. Human will is nothing in the face of the impartial power of nature and time. First published in Prometheus Unbound and Other Poems 1820 here it has been reproduced with a delicate binding to match its subject. <br /> <br /> "For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower;<br /> Radiance and odour are not its dower;<br /> It loves even like Love its deep heart is full<br /> It desires what it has not the Beautiful!"<br /> <br /> "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. Robt. Riviere & Son unknown
