FORE EDGE PAINTING. ERSKINE THOMAS
REMARKS ON THE INTERNAL EVIDENCE FOR THE TRUTH OF REVEALED RELIGION
Edinburgh: Printed for Waugh & Innes 1823. Sixth Edition. 182 x 107 mm. 7 1/4 x 4 1/4". 1 p.l. 210 pp. 1 leaf ads. Sixth Edition. EXCELLENT CONTEMPORARY EMERALD GREEN STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT covers framed by plain and decorative rolls in gilt and blind raised bands spine panels with intricate gilt floral and other tools gilt-rolled turn-ins all edges gilt. WITH AN UNUSUALLY PLEASING FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF ELY CATHEDRAL. Housed in a very fine later fleece-lined black morocco pull-off case by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Recto of front free endpaper with the heavily gilt morocco bookplate of Lucy Smith Battson; verso with neat inked inscription in a 19th century hand: "Ely Cathedral / Cambridge." Rear free endpaper with the ticket of Los Angeles department store J. W. Robinson Co. Inoffensive soiling to covers light offsetting in the bed of the text but the binding lustrous and with only trivial wear and clean and fresh internally--a very pretty book in pleasing condition. This is an attractive binding highlighted by a colorful and animated fore-edge painting depicting Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire. The painting is finely composed richly detailed and skillfully executed. The cathedral is framed by a verdant landscape in the foreground featuring a small herd of stout cows at left two male figures at center trodding a path toward the cathedral and a horse-drawn cart with driver and aide travelling the same path away from Ely. Two well-dressed young women at right gaze at the Medieval church and the tableau is flanked by a copses of trees the whole beneath a late afternoon deep azure sky with billowing clouds. It is unusual to see so many figures and such activity within a fore-edge tableau particularly this well defined--the detail in the architecture and especially the trees is particularly impressive. The artist is clearly the so-called "Dover Painter" the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore edges in the 1920s and 1930s. He did work for the famous London bookseller Marks & Company for Dawson's Bookshop in Los Angeles and for J. W. Robinson Company the Los Angeles department store. Estelle Doheny 1875-1958 whose library comprised one of the great collections of the 20th century bought actively from Dawson's and Weber estimates that approximately half of the very considerable number of especially fine fore-edge paintings in the Doheny collection in Camarillo California were done by the Dover Painter. An important book and art collector this book's prior owner Lucy Smith Doheny Battson 1893-1993 was Estelle's daughter-in-law. Written by the lawyer and lay theologian Erskine 1788-1870 at a time of spiritual doubt these "Remarks" argue the truth of Christianity based on the moral and spiritual needs of mankind. Reflecting a moderate Calvinism the book was the first of a half dozen works through which our author exerted considerable influence in the world of 19th century British theology.

FORE EDGE PAINTING. FITTLER JAMES Illustrator. NATTES JOHN CLAUDE
SCOTIA DEPICTA
London: Printed by J. McCreery for H. R. Young 1819. 432 x 286 mm. 17 x 11 1/4". 51 leaves lacking half-title leaf. Contemporary burgundy straight-grain morocco covers with multiple borders intricately rolled in gilt and blind gilt-decorated raised bands spine panels elaborately tooled in gilt gilt-rolled turn-ins all edges gilt. Front joint and hinge and upper corners repaired with some though not consummate skill. WITH AN IMPRESSIVE FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF EDINBURGH. With engraved frontispiece one tailpiece vignette and 48 plates etched by James Fittler from drawings by John Claude Nattes. Front pastedown with two bookplates of the important Pittsburgh insurance executive William McGill Duff 1878-1949 and a card inscribed to him from Edward A. Woods dated 22 Dec. 1925. Title signed and dated 1820 on upper margin by original owner Hugh Booth. Avery Library p. 339. Rear joint with five-inch crack at head though the board still firmly attached the binding with significant wear and soiling variable never severe offsetting from images to text leaves a few plates with light foxing to margins other minor defects; obviously with condition issues but the volume redeemed by its very unusual well-preserved and quite pleasing fore-edge painting. Even with its warts and freckles this is a volume of particular appeal first for its topographical content and especially for its memorably vast painting. The scene on the fore edge is a very skillfully painted view of Edinburgh looking south from Craigleith the composition being especially remarkable because of the sweeping impression of the location that it communicates. This results of course because of the extraordinary width of the fore-edge space allotted to the artist: at 16 1/2 inches 430 mm. from end to end this is the broadest fore-edge painting we've ever seen. The painting also has considerable depth with two herders and their cows in the right foreground outcroppings of rock for which Craigleith is famous in the left foreground and Edinburgh far in the distance its commanding castle seeming to touch the sky many miles away. Given the colors used copper orange in the trees for example the puffy treatment of the clouds and the dabbing style with which the paint has been applied this is almost certainly the work of the so-called "Dover Painter" who is described at length in the previous item. Our view is based upon Thomas H. Shepherd's drawing "Edinburgh from Craigleith" engraved by W. Tombleson which originally appeared in John Britton's 1829 "Modern Athens." Initially published in 1804 Fittler's work is an illustrated celebration of Scotland's most interesting antiquities castles towns and picturesque scenery with scenes being drawn using a wide impressionistic pen. Bryan notes that Fittler 1758-1835 "entered the schools of the Royal Academy in 1778 and was elected an Associate Engraver in 1800. He distinguished himself by numerous works after English and foreign masters of different subjects and character; and book illustrations by him abound." Fore-edge paintings of this size and quality however do not. Printed by J. McCreery for H. R. Young unknown

FORE EDGE PAINTING. STEVENS REV. ROBERT
SERMONS ON OUR DUTY TOWARDS GOD OUR NEIGHBOUR AND OURSELVES; AND ON OTHER SUBJECTS
London: Printed for John Booth 1814. FIRST EDITION. 225 x 133 mm. 8 7/8 x 5 1/4". 1 p.l. lviii 416 pp. FIRST EDITION. Pleasing contemporary midnight blue straight-grain morocco covers framed by plain gilt rules outlining Greek key and palmette blind rolls raised bands compartments with central gilt fleuron radiating densely blind-tooled foliage gilt-ruled turn-ins all edges gilt; WITH AN EXCELLENT FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF DOVER CASTLE. A PRESENTATION COPY with slightly foxed signed autograph letter bound in opposite title with letter offsets: "The Author / begs Mr. E. S. Stephenson's / acceptance of this Volume / as a token of his / friendship and esteem. / R. S." Front pastedown with unidentified armorial bookplate. Full list of subscribers including addenda. A bit of wear to corners and joints a very small ink stain to edge of preliminary leaves visible at upper left background of fore-edge painting not affecting primary image otherwise a fine copy clean and fresh internally in a lustrous binding. This is a decorative binding highlighted by an atmospheric fore-edge scene of Dover Castle painted by a skilled artist. The view depicts a cottage along a country road in the foreground with Dover Castle looming in the background against a hazy sky; a small figure presumably the cottage owner stands right of center. The scene is well designed with the eye moving from the cottage and castle towers at left toward the sea at the far right the foreground landscape's more saturated color anchoring the composition. Of particular note is how this foregound contrasted with the background's washed color creates the illusion of perspective. Despite the light browns and greens at the bottom of the scene the painting is essentially gray and particularly tranquil as a result. The skill of the painter here is seen most notably in his delicate and subtle shading a challenge that defeats even very able practitioners of the fore-edge painting. As always the dating of the painting is difficult but we think that it was done much closer to the time of publication than to the present day. Our author the Rev. Robert Stevens was a celebrated speaker who ultimately rose to become the head of the chapter of canons at Rochester Cathedral. Printed for John Booth unknown

FORE EDGE PAINTING. LEL. ie. Laetitia Elizabeth Landon. L. E. i. e.
The Golden Violet with its Tales of Romance and Chivalry: and other poems.
Longman Rees Orme Brown and Green London. 1827. First edition. 12mo. pp xii 310. Engraved frontispiece. Period binding of full russet calf with raised bands decorations rules and inner dentelles gilt; marbled edges and endpapers. Binding professionally restored with original spine relaid retaining the endpapers. Laetitia Elizabeth Landon 1802-1838 was an English poet and novelist who had great success in her day despite being much vilified in the press where she was accused of having affairs and even of secretly bearing children. She broke off her engagement to John Forster the biographer of Dickens wanting to spare him the possible stain to his reputation. She later married George Maclean but took her own life by poison very shortly thereafter. Her literary status declined greatly during the twentieth century until such critics as Germaine Greer came to re-assess her work.Double fore-edge painting depicting in watercolour shoreside views of Long Island and Philadelphia. On the front pastedown is the fine pictorial bookplate of Gilbert R. Redgrave who in 1892 published A History of Water-Colour Painting in England so it is possible that the paintings are his work.The views are quite clear and fresh with great skill displayed in their detailed renderings. Covers faintly rubbed at the edges. Very good indeed. Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, London. hardcover

Fore edge Painting
The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments: Translated out of the Original Tongues: And with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised By His Majesty's Special Command
Oxford: Printed at the Oxford University Press 1849 Finely bound by Watkins in textured black morocco decorated in blind to boards lettered in gilt to spine all edges gilt with a fore-edge painting depicting the Lichfield Grammar School in Staffordshire England. A very good copy with some light wear to extremities previous owner's inscription to front free endpaper some rubbing of the gilt on text block edges light soiling to margins of the first and last few pages. The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments is a collection of the sacred texts considered by believers of the Christian faith to be a record of man's relationship to God. Drawn from ancient texts in Biblical Hebrew and Greek the Bible has been translated into more than 600 languages. A fore-edge painting is a piece of artwork done on the outer edge of a book's text block opposite the spine. Traditionally these images were painted on the edge of a closed text block as an alternative to gilt or marbling. In the 17th century the practice changed when artists discovered that by painting on the inner edges of the pages the paintings would only visible if the book's pages were fanned and hidden from view when the book was closed. Hard Cover. Very Good. Oxford: Printed at the Oxford University Press hardcover

Cambridge:: Printed by J. Smith 1817 1816. 1817. 2 volumes. Small 12mo. iv 600; 601-821 1 2; 250 2 pp. Original crimson blind- and gilt-stamped straight grained morocco all edges gilt. Within slip-case bound in red cloth gilt-stamped back "Foredge Paintings" likely the box dates from the time of the fore-edge painting. With two lovely fore-edge paintings painted on the fanned edges; not labeled but the scenes are of British churches. Provenance: Carnegie Book Shop New York Dec 14 1965 - sold to: Roland S. Bond Dallas TX. Probably this is the Louis H. Silver d.1963 Chicago copy sold at Parke-Bernet Galleries Nov. 16 1965 sold to Carnegie Book Shop NY. The volume was described as "one vol. bound in 2 which was an oversight as the 2nd title is deep within the second vol. Silver was a lawyer engineer and Chicago hotel owner Gold Coast Hotels who was a trustee of the Newberry Library. The bulk of his collection was purchased through his agent the noted bookseller John F. Fleming and brought a reported NY Times May 15 1964 price of 2.75 million dollars. / The University of Texas Ransom Center reports: "In June of 1963 Silver was diagnosed with terminal cancer and enlisted Fleming's help in selling his substantial library. Silver had very specific demands for the sale—his library was to be sold en bloc and he should receive no less than $2.2 million for it. Fleming made contact with several auction houses but on October 27 1963 Silver died before any action towards a sale could be completed. Silver's estate represented by Clarence A. Beutel and Silver's wife Amy wanted the search for a buyer to continue according to Silver's specifications. / On November 15 1963 the University of Texas at Austin expressed interest in the collection. Fleming began negotiations with Dr. Harry Ransom Chancellor of the University of Texas at Austin. Within a month Ransom had $2.75 million in cash for the sale. Silver's estate though was feeling hesitant about the sale. The first problem was that they did not want to pay Fleming his $200000 commission. The second was that they felt pressured to keep the Silver Library in Illinois by selling it to the Newberry Library instead. In the end that is what the estate chose to do. On May 13 1964 the Newberry Library bought the Silver Library for $2.75 million. / Under Illinois law Fleming as a property broker should have earned his commission when he produced a ready willing and able buyer. There is no requirement that a sale with that buyer must occur. Since Fleming produced his buyer he requested his commission. When the Silver estate refused Fleming filed a lawsuit in Illinois on August 6 1964. The estate was granted summary judgment and the case was dismissed. The court found that since many of the books were damaged and the University of Texas did not examine the books prior to agreeing to buy them it would not have actually been willing to commit to the sale. Fleming appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In John F. Fleming Incorporated v. Beutel 395 F.2d 21 the appellate court remanded the case after finding that the lower court was incorrect in granting summary judgment. The appellate court ruled that when one was dealing with older books some damage was par for the course and so the buyer would have been willing to go through with the sale. However rather than continue the court battle Fleming settled out of court for $92000 on December 17 1968. / The Newberry Library took possession of the Silver Library and against Silver's wishes discarded one third of the books as surplus and auctioned them."

FORE EDGE PAINTING. SCOTT SIR WALTER
THE LAY OF THE LAST MINSTREL A POEM
London and Edinburgh: Printed for Longman Hurst Rees and Orme; and for A. Constable by James Ballantyne 1805. Second Edition. 213 x 133 mm. 8 3/8 x 5 1/4". 334 pp. Second Edition. Contemporary red straight-grain morocco covers bordered by gilt rule and cresting blind roll flat spine divided into panels by single gilt rules gilt titling turn-ins with gilt bead roll marbled endpapers all edges gilt. WITH A FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF DUMBARTON CASTLE AND THE RIVER CLYDE. In a paper slipcase. Joints significantly rubbed but this well masked with dye small notch out at top of front joint slight wear with a bit of loss at corners and spine ends minor spotting and darkening to boards other trivial defects externally but the binding still firm and entirely satisfactory. Scattered foxing at edges leaves less than bright because of paper stock but the text still fresh and the dramatic fore-edge painting well preserved. The action in the fore-edge painting here is an appropriate complement to Scott's "Lay of the Last Minstrel" a tale chronicling the trials of a pair of lovers whose bitterly feuding border families resort to sorcery to keep them apart. Set in the 16th century the narrative poem comprises six cantos of rhymed iambic tetrameter couplets glossed by Scott's extensive notes and introduced with an unsigned preface probably Scott's which calls the poem a "Metrical Romance." When it was first published in 1805 the "Minstrel" made Scott the most important Scottish poet of the 19th century before Lord Byron. In our painting the number of ships depicted in the river before the ancient fortress suggests something between a busy harbor and a naval skirmish. There are two tall ships in full rigging four sailboats and two smaller rowed vessels. We can see sailors and other hands hard at work struggling with sails and oars. In the background the black basalt cliffs and the forbidding Dumbarton Castle provide a contrasting stolidity to the marine activity. Because of its characteristic palette and the treatment of the sky the work here appears to be that of the so-called "Dover Painter" the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who executed very high quality painted fore edges in the 1920s and 1930s. He did work for the famous London bookseller Marks & Company for Dawson's Bookshop in Los Angeles and for J. W. Robinson Company the Los Angeles department store. Estelle Doheny 1875-1958 whose library comprised one of the great collections of the 20th century bought actively from Dawson's and Weber estimates that approximately half of the very considerable number of especially fine fore-edge paintings in the Doheny collection in Camarillo California were done by the Dover Painter. Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme; and for A. Constable by James Ballantyne unknown

FORE EDGE PAINTING. BEATTIE JAMES
THE MINSTREL; OR THE PROGRESS OF GENIUS. WITH SOME OTHER POEMS
London: Printed for J. Mawman 1801. 170 x 102 mm. 6 1/2 x 4". 4 p.l. 120 pp. Contemporary red straight-grain morocco covers with gilt-ruled border flat spine divided into panels by single gilt rule gilt titling turn-ins with decorative bead roll marbled endpapers all edges gilt. WITH A PLEASING FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF THE HARBOR AND SEASIDE TOWN OF WHITBY. With four engravings depicting scenes from "The Minstrel." Front pastedown with engraved bookplate of John Ashley Warre. Spine slightly and uniformly sunned to a darker red joints and extremities a bit rubbed though well masked with dye paper faintly toned light offsetting occasional spotting or staining but still quite a decent copy the binding solid and lustrous the text smooth and fresh and the painting very well preserved. The very pleasing fore-edge painting here has depth and movement from the fisherman on shore in the foreground to the cresting waves in the harbor and the ships bobbing in the distance. The ruins of the great abbey tower over the scene and the lighthouse stands tall at the edge of the shore. The precipitous cliffs rolling hills and curving shoreline provide an undulant frame for the choppy sea. A Scottish poet and professor of moral philosophy Beattie 1735-1803 is best remembered for the title poem here an unfinished work in Spenserian stanzas that was first printed in 1771-74. As perhaps the first work in English that might properly be entitled "The Growth of a Poet's Mind" his "Minstrel" anticipates Wordsworth's "Prelude" and its emphasis on the great benefits of solitude represents an early manifestation of one of the key notions of Romanticism. Former owner John Ashley Warre 1787-1860 was a scion of the famous port-trading family and a long-serving member of Parliament for the Liberal Party. Printed for J. Mawman unknown

"The Scene from the following Poem is laid chiefly in the vicinity of Loch-Katrine in the Western Highlands of Perthshire. The time of Action includes Six Days and the transactions of each day occupy a Canto." These two volumes were sold in 1965 by Dawson's Book Shop in Los Angeles Catalog 355 item 113. Craigmillar Castle is a ruined medieval castle in Edinburgh Scotland. It is three miles 4.8�km south-east of the city center on a low hill to the south of the modern suburb of Craigmillar. The Preston family of Craigmillar the local feudal barons began building the castle in the late 14th century and building works continued through the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1660 the castle was sold to Sir John Gilmour Lord President of the Court of Session who made further alterations. The Gilmours left Craigmillar in the 18th century and the castle fell into ruin. It is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument. Craigmillar Castle is best known for its association with Mary Queen of Scots. Following an illness after the birth of her son the future James VI Mary arrived at Craigmillar on 20 November 1566 to convalesce. Before she left on 7 December 1566 a pact known as the "Craigmillar Bond" was made with or without her knowledge to dispose of her husband Henry Stuart Lord Darnley. Craigmillar is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland. The central tower house or keep is surrounded by a 15th-century courtyard wall with "particularly fine" defensive features. Within this are additional ranges and the whole is enclosed by an outer courtyard wall containing a chapel and a doocot Loch Leven Castle is a ruined castle on an island in Loch Leven in the Perth and Kinross local authority area of Scotland. Possibly built around 1300 the castle was the location of military action during the Wars of Scottish Independence 1296-1357. In the latter part of the 14th century the castle was granted by his uncle to William Douglas 1st Earl of Douglas and remained in the Douglases' hands for the next 300 years. Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here in 1567-68 and forced to abdicate as queen before escaping with the help of her gaoler's family. In 1588 the Queen's gaoler inherited the title Earl of Morton and moved away from the castle. It was bought in 1675 by Sir William Bruce who used the castle as a focal point in his garden; it was never again used as a residence. <br/><br/> Edinburgh: Printed for Arch.
