(EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED). (BINDINGS - BAYNTUN). (JOHNSON, SAMUEL). BOSWELL, JAMES
LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON LL.D. INCLUDING A JOURNAL OF HIS TOUR TO THE HEBRIDES. . . . TO WHICH ARE ADDED ANECDOTES BY HAWKINS PIOZZI MURPHY TYERS REYNOLDS STEEVENS &C. AND NOTES BY VARIOUS HANDS
London: John Murray 1835. First Illustrated Edition Croker's Second Edition. 170 x 105 mm. 6 3/4 x 4 1/4". 10 volumes. <br/> VERY PRETTY PURPLE CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY BAYNTUN OF BATH stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with gilt rule border central panel diapered in gilt with knots at line intersection central compartment filled with floral tools raised bands spine compartments with large fleuron gilt lettering gilt-ruled turn-ins with trefoil at corners marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With a total of 51 ILLUSTRATIONS consisting of: engraved frontispiece and extra engraved title page with vignette in each volume a folding map a folding facsimile plate and one double-page plate as called for all by Edward Francis Finden and all hand-colored AND EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH 28 PLATES 10 portraits nine views nine folding facsimile plates four with vignette views ALL COLORED BY HAND all with tissue guards. Pottle 92. Spines just slightly and evenly sunned to a very pleasing burgundy one front hinge exposed with no hint of looseness offsetting from and onto the folding facsimiles other trivial imperfections but A LOVELY SET clean and fresh internally with attractively colored plates in a luscious and lustrous binding with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is the first illustrated edition of the work generally considered to be the greatest biography in any language here embellished with additional portraits of Johnson's associates and views of important places in his life. First published in 1791 Boswell's account of Dr. Johnson reveals the most fully realized figure in literature and it prefigures modern biography in emphasizing the character of the subject rather than his deeds. It is also a tribute to Boswell's genius in that the bulk of the text is made up of accounts by the author of situations that he himself created so that his subject would be prompted to behave in a revealing and memorable way. Boswell "was a consummate impresario stage-managing the setting and 'dramatis personae' amidst which Johnson would glitter and then providing topics and opinions to elicit the magnificent rejoinders of Johnson." The result is that we see an unforgettable portrait of a man brilliant and profound and at the same time dogmatic overbearing prejudiced and irascible. Day This edition also includes Johnson's journal of his visit to the Hebrides Islands and "anecdotes by Hawkins Piozzi Murphy Tyers Reynolds Steevens &c. and notes by various hands" in the two final volumes which have the running title "Johnsoniana." Our handsome set is a good example of the early 20th century decorative work typical of the Bayntun firm founded in Bath in 1894 and now the last of the great Victorian trade binderies still in family ownership. It is not terribly uncommon to encounter extra-illustrated examples of this and similar sets of major literary works but it is unusual to find such a set with all the illustrations hand colored.

(EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED BOOKS). (JOHNSON, SAMUEL). BOSWELL, JAMES
LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON
London: Printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1791. FIRST EDITION First State with "gve" reading on p. 135. 267 x 210 mm. 10 1/2 x 8 1/4". Two volumes expanded to eight. <br/> ORNATE AND SUBSTANTIAL 19TH CENTURY FOREST GREEN STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO covers with a gilt French fillet raised bands spines and some corners renewed with considerable skill their compartments with urn centerpieces flanked by scrolling foliage turn-ins gilt tooled marbled endpapers all edges gilt. First volume with an engraved frontispiece EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH A TOTAL OF 919 PLATES 96 of them hand colored. Each volume with an added facsimile title page. Pottle 79; Day "History of English Literature 1660-1837" pp. 164-65. Boards with a few dark spots mostly where chafing has been covered with dye the hinge at the front of seven volumes with paper covering gone two other hinges partly affected but everything still very tight; some never serious offsetting from plates intermittent minor foxing a handful of leaves in Vol I. Part IV with a repaired open tear to upper margin other trivial defects but still a set with very considerable appeal--full of visual interest internally and looking quite grand in a substantial row.<br/> <br/> Although there are no signs of ownership this is the elegantly bound Jacques Levy copy of what is often considered to be the greatest biography in any language--extra-illustrated here with an enormous number of plates. James Boswell 1740-95 was a personal friend of his subject the main reason that this work proved to be the architect of his enduring reputation. It is a tribute to Boswell's skill as a biographer that the bulk of the text is made up of accounts by the author of situations that he himself created so that his subject would be prompted to behave in a revealing and memorable way. Day tells us that Boswell "was a consummate impresario stage-managing the setting and 'dramatis personae' amidst which Johnson would glitter and then providing topics and opinions to elicit the magnificent rejoinders of Johnson." The result is that we see an unforgettable portrait of a man who was flawed as well as brilliant--in Day's words "the most fully realized figure the most three-dimensional character in literature." Our previous owner New York bibliophile Jacques Levy d. 1980 first began buying on a whim while in Paris for business. He spent the next 40 years building an impressive and eclectic library which included travel literature illustrated books and fine bindings. A dedicated auction of his collection took place at Sotheby's New York on April 20 2012 realizing more than $6 million. The present copy contains more than 900 added plates which illustrate the settings and figures populating the biography as well as expanding the two volumes into an imposing set that is quite attractive on the shelf. The first printing of Boswell's Johnson is easy to obtain but extra-illustrated sets seem to be quite rare: except for the present item which went for $11250 at the Levy sale the last such copy we could trace at auction was a four-volume set sold in 1988.

[JAMES BOSWELL] SCOTT, Geoffrey (ed)
PRIVATE PAPERS OF JAMES BOSWELL / In the Isham Collection from Malahide Castle / Now First Printed
Privately printed 1928. Folio. The first publication of Boswell's private papers which had since Boswell's death in 1785 lain locked in a cabinet sequestered in the estate of Lord Talbot de Malahide until the copyright to them was acquired by Lieut. Col. Isham 'as a result of which this long-shut gateway into the eighteenth century was finally unlocked'. Prepared for the press by Geoffrey Scott whose 'duty has here been confined except in Vol. VI to establish the text and chronology of the documents; to classify them with a view to the special character of this edition; and to provide some brief explanatory prefaces.' The printer was William Edwin Rudge of New York City. After printing the type was distributed. Our offering is the prospectus for an eighteen volume set from which Rudge the printer '.has the honour to present the following particulars in regard to the set for the information of collectors'. The folio contains details of the first six volumes in the series which were issued in December 1928 and brief details of 'further volumes to be issued subsequently'. Also laid-in loose is a facsimile of a page in Boswell's hand from his private papers. The 13 pages of text and the facsimile measure 39 x 26.5 cms. and except for some minor marginal age-toning are in excellent condition. The stiff card folder on which is printed 'Private Papers of James Boswell' shows expected wear but is still perfectly serviceable. [Privately printed] unknown

[Literary Journal] Boswell, James
Boswell in Holland 1763-1764. Edited by Frederick A. Pottle.
<p>New York::: McGraw-Hill 1952. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine copy in a Near Fine bright unclipped dust jacket with a touch of edge wear. These memoranda and letters from the time a young James Boswell spent in holland studying the law provide an intimate look at the famous biographer. Boswell seems a man troubled by depression as well as pressure from his father and a desire to raise himself socially. He can also be a kind of moral scold to the people he valued most. Not necessarily an attractive character but his candor and intimacy are what is valuable to a reader interested in how people really lived in the distant past.</p> McGraw-Hill,, hardcover
