FORAIN (Jean-Louis) peintre et graveur français (1852-1931).
Lettre autographe signée à son épouse Jeanne. [Jeanne Bosc, peintre et sculptrice française] Nice, 27 avril 1922. 1 pp. petit in-8 oblong. Petites imperfections.
A propos de ses soucis de « molaires » pour lesquelles, le praticien conseillé par un de ses amis, est intervenu, pour lui extraire quatre molaires, sans douleur. « Et c’est vrai puisqu’hier il m’a extrait quatre racines sans douleurs sans cocaïne, par un courant d’oxygène qu’il vous envoie sur la gencive, cela produit un froid… et il tire…On la sent passer mais on ne souffre pas. Te dire que c’est réjouissant serait exagéré. Il me fabrique au plus juste un appareil qui m’aidera à broyer et mes digestions ne seront plus imparfaites. C’est tout pour ma personne. Le déjeuner tout à l’heure avec Georges Hugo. [Peintre français, petit-fils de Victor Hugo] J’ai reçu de Florence une carte de Jean-Loup et une de Winey Edmond de Polignac (pour Winnaretta Singer, princesse de Polignac, dite Winnie, qui est une mécène musicale d'origine américaine et une des héritières des machines à coudre Singer.) Elle me parle de loup avec admiration… ».

FORBIN (Louis Nicolas Philippe Auguste de, comte) peintre français d’histoire, de compositions animées, directeur des musées royaux, membre de l’Institut (1777-1841)
Ensemble de 2 lettres signées au peintre Alexandre Colin (1798-1873) grand portraitiste, il fut élève de Girodet. On connait de lui de nombreux portraits de ses contemporains du théâtre et de la peinture, notamment celui de son ami Delacroix ainsi que celui de Géricault.
Ces deux lettres datées du même jour, 8 mai 1835, concernent l’acquisition de son tableau « la Jeune Convalescente », qui faisait partie de l’exposition de cette année. « Mr l’Intendant Général de la Liste Civile m’a fait connaître que d’après les ordres du Roi, il vous a été commandé un tableau pour la Galerie d’Apollon au Louvre... ».

Fore edge Painting FORDYCE James 1720 1796.
Addresses to the Deity. The third edition.
London:: Printed for T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies by G.R. Clarke 1801. 1801. Small 8vo. xx ii 232 pp. Original full dark navy blue straight-grained morocco gilt Greek-key tooling surround five raised bands elaborate gilt compartments all edges gilt. Very good . With a fine fore-edge painting under the gilt showing "Christchurch in Hampshire here James Fordyce lived." With an early typed note relating to the painting. The artist possibly copied the engraving "Christchurch Hampshire" from the print by E. Finden after a picture by W. Westall published in Great Britain Illustrated 1830. This view shows the single row boat in the foreground similar to the image with this fore-edge painting. Artist unknown; painted ca. 1900-1955. This scene is delicately and skillfully painted. "Fordyce's delivery and gestures were studied and he drew crowds to Monkwell Street. His topics were didactic but he also satisfied cultured tastes and dealt with the ethics of actual life. David Garrick was impressed; Fordyce associated with Samuel Johnson and introduced him to Blair. He gave sympathetic account in Addresses to the Deity 1785 of Johnson's religious character speaking as an evangelical moderate." DNB. Printed for T. Cadell, Jun. and W. Davies, by G.R.

Fore edge Painting CLINTON Henry Fynes 1781 1852.
An Epitome of the Civil and Literary Chronology of Rome and Constantinople from the death of Augustus to the death of Heraclius. Edited by Rev. C.J. Fynes Clinton.
Oxford:: University Press 1853. 1853. 8vo. vi 524 2 pp. Index. Original full dark green morocco stamped "Fortem Posce Animum" "Pray for a strong will" - Juvenal and on the lower cover: Honi soit qui Mal y Pense" = "Evil to him who evil thinks"; joints rubbed. Student's prize for George Rodney Scott d. March 3 1929 at Winchester College July 8 1866. later a Fellow of Merton College; bookplate of Bernardine Murphy. Very good. With a fore-edge painting by the "Dover" artist "Ponte Rotti Rome." With the title hand-written by the artist. Painted ca.1920-30s. Fore-edge painting of "Rotti Bridge Rome." The "Ponte Rotto" was drawn by J.D. Harding and engraved by Edward Francis Finden ca.1834 and the fore-edge artist has used this view to apply to the edge of Clinton's Chronology of Rome. The provenance suggests that Scott was the owner through 1929 and on his death it may have found its way to Marks & Co. perhaps by scouting or by auction. From that date it is consistent with other pieces also painted by the 'Dover' painter though this tends to support the point that the earliest date this book could have received a fore-edge painting would have been in 1929. <br /><br /> PROVENANCE: Bookplate of Bernadine Murphy Donahue 1904-1968 a prominent California Catholic philanthropist who married Daniel Donahue in 1954 and established the Daniel Murphy Foundation in 1957 in memory of her father to promote Roman Catholic causes. "So helpful to the Church was the foundation that Pope John XXIII conferred on Bernardine the title of 'Papal Countess' the only title given to an American during his pontificate. Several years later Pope Paul VI conferred on Daniel the title 'Gentleman of His Holiness' the highest award bestowed on a layman in the Church and the first such Award ever given to an American. The Countess died unexpectedly in 1968" Burks. Burks Lisa. "Bernadine Murphy Donahue."

Moran La Cañada purchased 16 July 1962 with fore-edge painting named on the receipt – gifted to William "Bill" & Phoebe Jane Easton in 1962.

London:: John Murray 1818. 1818. 8vo. viii 576 pp. Original full double gilt-ruled vellum gilt embellished spine olive-brown morocco spine label all edges gilt red endleaves. Fine copy. With a glorious fore-edge painting on the painted edge by the Dover painter of "King's College Chapel Cambridge" and labeled in the artist's ink hand. The artist is known to have worked in the 1920s and 1930s in London thus it is interesting to note that there are two notations with dates: a dated inscription in the back E.H.W. 25/3/31 March 25 1931 $ 85. - with a cost code showing B/-/- over B/H/E. Surely an indication that this was painted by March 1931 and offered for sale by an American bookseller for $ 85. The label shown for the painting also has a code: 116/1/24 which looks like a code/date - if a date then the year would be 1924. This is very much within this artist's time period of activity.

Second and revised edition. London: John Murray 1868. Octavo 8 1/8 x 5 1/4 inches; 207 x 134 mm. lv i errata 632 pp. Inserted frontispiece and several illustrations and diagrams throughout the text. Bound ca. 1901 in full green morocco covers elaborately bordered in gilt spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt board edges and turn-ins marbled end-papers all edges gilt. Spine very slightly sunned otherwise fine. With a later fore-edge painting beneath the gilt showing Westminster Abbey. Arthur Penrhyn Stanley 1815-1881 was an English churchman Dean of Westminster known as Dean Stanley. His position was that of a Broad Churchman and he was the author of works on Church History. Stanley was a candidate to succeed as Archbishop of Dublin following the death of Richard Whately in October 1863 but was rejected by the Church of Ireland. Richard Chenevix Trench the Dean of Westminster was appointed instead and towards the close of 1863 Stanley was appointed by the Crown to the newly vacated deanery. In December he married Lady Augusta Bruce sister of Lord Elgin then governor-general of India. His tenure of the deanery of Westminster was memorable in many ways. He recognized from the first two important disqualifications - his indifference to music and his slight knowledge of architecture. On both these subjects he availed himself largely of the aid of others and threw himself with characteristic energy and entire success into the task of rescuing from neglect and preserving from decay the treasure of historic monuments in which Westminster Abbey is so rich. In 1865 he published his Memorials of Westminster Abbey a work which despite occasional inaccuracies is a mine of information. <br/><br/> London: John Murray, 1868 hardcover

Fore Edge Painting Junius pseud..
Junius. Stat Nominis Umbra.
London:: Printed by T. Bensley 1796-1797. 1796. Two volumes. 8vo. xl iv 325; iv 366 pp. Engraved half-titles 16 engraved plates index. Twentieth century full navy blue straight-grained morocco gilt rules five raised bands with gilt compartments a.e.g. for H. Sotheran & Co. London; a tad rubbed. Near fine. The TWO FORE-EDGE PAINTINGS by CLARE BOOKSBANK signed. The scene on volume I is possibly a view of King George III and the House of Parliament; on volume II Westminster from the Thames River. The identity of Junius is open to question and debate and may never be finally resolved unless documents are found which establish his identity. On the other hand scholars now generally support the identification with Sir Philip Francis. "The case for Philip Francis first proposed by John Taylor in 1816 has established itself as by far the most probable though categorical proof is still not forthcoming" DNB. The Letters of Junius were the official letters that Junius collected refined and published in 1772. The 16 engraved portrait plates depicting famous political figures: 8 Marquis of Granby Duke of Grafton Marquis of Rockingham Judge Blackstone Right Honorable James Grenville Duke of Bedford Sir William Draper King George III; 8 Lord North Lord Bute John Horne Took Earl of Chatham John Wilkes Right Honorable Edmund Burke Earl of Mansfield Earl Camden 8.
