[Fine Binding - Riviere & Son]; Thomas Carlyle
Sartor Resartus
London: Kegan Paul Trench & Co 1889. Fine. Sixteenmo 6 3/16 x 3 5/8 inches; 157 x 93 mm. vi 306 1 imprint 5 blank pp. Portrait frontispiece with tissue guard. Title-page printed in red and black. Bound ca. 1920 by Rivière & Son stamp signed in gilt on lower turn-in. Full antelope crushed levant morocco covers decoratively ruled in gilt surrounding a very elaborate floral design in pointillé spine with five raised bands similarly decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt-ruled board edges full dark blue morocco liners elaborately decorated in gilt blue watered silk end-leaves top edge gilt. A wonderful example of the art of 'pointillé'.<br /> <br /> The Scottish author critic and thinker Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 was a major influence on Victorian society. His novel Sartor Resartus translated as The Tailor Re-tailored among other variations is a satirical look at the work of a fictional philosopher Diogenes Teufelsdröckh. Intriguing in its form the book is structured from the prospective of a skeptical English reviewer consumed by Teufelsdröckh's book Clothes Their Origin and Influence. In crafting Sartor Resartus Carlyle drew on a range of literary influences: Goethe Hegel Sterne and Switft. Carlyle's complicated text not only critiques academic writing and materialism but offers meditations on the meanings of symbols and the search for truth. Although first started as an essay the project eventually developed into a novel which was first published serially in Fraser's Magazine 1833-34. Fine. Kegan Paul, Trench & Co unknown

The "Bab" Ballads in 2 vols.
London: John Camden Hotten and George Routledge and Sons 1872. First editions. Two octavo volumes 7 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches; 184 x 133 mm. & 7 x 5 3/8 inches; 179 x 137 mm. ix 2 14-222 4 adv.; viii 1 14-224 4. adv. pp. Black and white frontispieces with original tissue guards black and white text illustrations throughout. Bound c. 1920 by Rivière & Son for the Gardenside Bookshop Boston in full emerald crushed levant morocco with a gilt decorated broad inlaid border of maroon morocco enclosing an elaborate gilt frame surrounding a maroon morocco border and decorated sunken central panel within which are figures from the text pictorially depicted with multi-colored padded morocco onlays. The Bab Ballads with the onlaid figures of Babette and Jacot page 67 and More Bab Ballads with the onlaid figures of Sir Berkely and William Lee page 122. Lower boards with gilt ruled maroon morocco border surrounding an elaborate gilt border with decorative gilt corner pieces. Spines with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt ruled board edges elaborate gilt turn-ins cream watered silk liners and end-leaves all edges gilt. Original gilt decorated green cloth covers bound in at end of each volume. Outer front joint of volume 2 with subtle repairs. Housed together in the original felt-lined green cloth slipcase. A fine set.<br /> <br /> This publication evidences how a writer's work is never done. First published as a humorous column in Fun magazine in 1876 Gilbert collected fifty of his favorite poems for the book Fifty "Bab" Ballads:Much Sound and Little Sense it contained one poem collected for the first time titled "Etiquette" and excluded 25 previously published poems. As Gilbert explained: "The period during which they were written extended over some three or four years; many however were composed hastily and under the discomforting necessity of having to turn out a quantity of lively verse by a certain day in every week. As it seemed to me and to others that the volumes were disfigured by the presence of these hastily written impostors I thought it better to withdraw from both volumes such Ballads as seemed to show evidence of carelessness or undue haste and to publish the remainder in the compact form under which they are now presented to the reader" Gilbert. However "Gilbert's readers were not happy with the loss and in 1882 Gilbert published all of the poems that had appeared in either The "Bab" Ballads or More "Bab" Ballads once again excluding "Etiquette." Some twentieth-century editions of More "Bab" Ballads include "Etiquette" Ellis. The poems range from satire to absurdist texts and will surely entertain all who read them.<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.

[Fine Binding - Riviere & Son] Haywood, Helen R (artist); Izaac Walton and Charles Cotton
The Compleat Angler
London: John Lane The Bodley Head Ltd 1926. Fine. A very fine and unique copy. Specially bound with two superb original watercolor paintings on both of the calf doublures by Helen R. Haywood. Octavo 7 1/8 x 4 1/2 in; 181 x 113 mm. lxxxix 4 454 14 as Anglers' Calendar pp. Black and white illustrations throughout some full-page. Initials and vignettes. Inserted limitation leaf "With Water/Colour Drawings/on/Calf Doublures/by/signed Helen R. Haywood." Bound by Rivière & Son c. 1926 stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in. Full forest green crushed morocco covers with gilt double-rule border spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Double gilt-ruled board edges decorative gilt ruled turn-ins enclosing calf doublures with full angling-themed original watercolor paintings. Green moire silk free endpapers all edges gilt. Housed in a felt-lined green cloth clamshell case spine with leather label lettered in gilt. <br /> <br /> Izaak Walton's The Compleate Angeler 1653 is perhaps the quintessential pastoral work on fishing. Structured as a dialogue between a fisherman huntsman and fowler the book is a celebration of the natural world and the thrills of fishing as a pastime. The two exquisite original watercolors on calf elegantly reproduce at the front "Come now bait your hook again and lay it into the water for it rains again" Compleat Angler Fourth Day and at the rear "Marry God requite you sir and we'll eat it cheerfully" Compleat Angler Third Day. Helen Riviere Haywood 1908-1995 was an English painter children's book illustrator and writer best known for her foredge paintings. She came from a book-binding family: Haywood was the granddaughter Robert Riviere founder of the great bindery which executed this lovely binding and her uncle who also worked for the firm introduced her to foredge and double foredge painting. Between the 1930s-1970s she completed multiple commissions for Inman's Books a New York City based antiquarian book dealer. From her intertest in science anthropology and naturalism Haywood developed a keen attention to the world's natural elements; this talent for observation and specificity found its way into her artwork.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Purchased by David Brass Rare Books from John & Judith Head May 2012; sold to Randal Moscovitz December 2012.

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
London: Robt. Riviere & Son 1928. Special edition. Octavo 8 x 5 3/8 inches; 204 x 137 mm. ii blank iii-viii 75 1 imprint pp. With twelve illustrations by Gilbert James hand-colored and heightened with gold and printed with blue initials for each stanza. Caslon Old Face type on Studio hand-made paper some light marginal foxing to plates otherwise fine. Bound ca. 1928 by Rivière & Son stamp-signed on front turn-in in full blue crushed levant morocco. Front cover with a central oval panel with an onlaid brown-spotted serpent twining around a large gilt chalice. This central panel is surrounded by a floral border of inlaid green flowers on orange stems with bunches of grapes in purple. Inside a double-ruled gilt border on each cover is stanza number fifty-eight "Oh Thou who Man of baser Earth didst make And who with Eden didst devise the Snake: For all the Sin wherewith the Face of Man Is blacken'd Man's Forgiveness give - and take." Rear cover with a similar oval panel also surrounded by a floral border of inlaid green flowers on orange stems with bunches of grapes in purple and with a single onlaid green flower and a central inlaid bunch of purple grapes. Spine with five raised bands decoratively bordered in gilt with inlaid purple morocco bunches of grapes in five of the panels and gilt lettered in the other double gilt ruled board edges elaborate gilt turn-ins featuring a vine motif marbled paper doublures and endleaves all edges gilt. Upper joint expertly and almost invisibly repaired otherwise a near fine example of a late twenties Rivière 'Inlaid' binding. Engraved bookplate of Willsherr Lodge the home of Samuel Clay Williams 1884-1949 lawyer and tobacco magnate on front pastedown. <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. A similar binding but without the quotations on the borders of both covers was sold in the Chevalier sale at Christie's New York Friday November 9th 1990 lot 63; it had been previously sold to Paul Chevalier by David Brass and then later to another private collector. Loosely inserted in the Chevalier copy was a pencilled note identified by a second description as being in the hand of George Napier an Edinburgh collector who commissioned a number of bindings. Napier explains his purchase of the book from Rivière in 1932 and that he commissioned the special border now decorating the book. He adds that "George" at Rivière's explained that the chalice and serpent motif was designed by Alberto Sangorski brother of George Sangorski the binder and concludes with the mention of the "Great Omar" which sank with the Titanic.<br /> <br /> Fitzgerald attributed the original work to the famed astronomer and mathematician Omar Khayyum and this collection of quatrains rapidly became a favored text of the Pre-Raphaelites. "Like the Odyssey or the Vita Nuova it was once the most widely known and quoted work of Victorian poetry in the world" and its place in Western culture at the time was secured by Fitzgerald's "epigrammatic sophisticated often mordant verses that display Fitzgerald's adroitness in handling this stanza form" Warner. Yet with rise of Modernism the Rubaiyat fell out of style for a time its lush and romantic orientalism considered out of step with the concerns of those who were living through a devastating World War. But the beautiful surviving copies in exceptional vellum silk and leather alongside recently released critical editions have helped draw attention back to the Rubaiyat's beauty and its role in inspiring so many monumental pieces of Victorian art and literature. Here illustrations by Gilbert James 1865-1941 illustrate the dramatic and sensorial prose. Robt. Riviere & Son unknown

[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.

Oblong 4to. 11.5 x 9 in. 64 pp unpaginated. thick brittle paper stock mounted on white linen hinges neatly written title page in bold clear manuscript w/ 191 tipped-in photographs sized from 2 x 4 in. up to 6 x 8 in. many albumen most silver gelatin all annotated in manuscript below images and carefully drawn manuscript borders in ink on each page nearly all with bright strong contrast some sepia-tinted. Burgundy-coloured simulated half-calf over beige cloth beveled boards minor soiling rubbing to covers some minor chipping to corners & fore-edges of pages some darkening 1 leaf loose still a VG exemplar. This splendid Edwardian photo album documents the salmon fishing adventures and scenic excursions by the photographer through the pastoral Wye Valley just a few years before the outbreak of World War I. At the beginning of the 20th century the Wye River was considered to be one of the best rivers for salmon fishing in the United Kingdom outside of Scotland and this fishermen definitely enjoyed the beauty and catch to be found. These images capture a largely undeveloped and pastoral Symonds Yat and Wye Valley as it winds along the borders of Herfordshire Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. Bowman has included images of side-trips along the River Monnow views of mills Llandogo the Hutsham Bridge Grosmont Castle Tintern Abbey the Devil’s Chimney at the Yat Wye Valley ruin of the Llancault Church the oldest house in Monmouth winter floods at the junction of the Monnow and the Wye Rivers winter rapids and more. Also included are scenes of salmon from the Wye the rod and reels used photos of fisherman casting into the Monnow River landing a salmon and even image of fisherman holding two large salmon while braced against a roadside hedge. The salmon fishery on the Wye held up through much of the 20th century before a precipitous decline in the 1980s and 1990s however due to extensive habitat improvement work carried out by the Wye & Usk Foundation to restore spring salmon runs the run has once again climbed but not to the levels of the early 20th century.

[Harsimus Bay – Hudson River]
Jersey City New Jersey — Circa 1880s–1890s Copy of 1854 Land Indenture and Hudson River Plat Map
<p>Likely Jersey City Hudson County New Jersey c. 1880s–1890s. Indenture. 12½ x 8 inches. 17 pages i.e. Five loose bifoliums; watermarked “Platner & Porter Superfine†WITH: Plat Map. Approx. 21 x 11½ inches. Cloth with ink manuscript and watercolor highlights. All near fine.</p> <p>In 1854 parts of Jersey City New Jersey were under water. In the city’s Hudson River front district called Harsimus Bay or Cove three land owners wanted to reclaim some of these submerged lands.</p> <p>In order to do so however the bounds of their properties needed to be properly set forth and clarified. They did so by means of a new indenture and the creation of a plat map “to illustrate the boundary and partition†of their respective tracts.</p> <p>This indenture and accompanying plat map were originally prepared and surveyed in 1854. Watermarks in the paper upon which the present indenture is written suggest it was copied in the late nineteenth century. Thus we date these two items to c. 1880s–1890s.</p> <p>It is not clear who caused the copy to be made. The arduous work of reclaiming submerged lands may have led to ongoing difficulties and the need to clarify potentially conflicting claims between neighbors:</p> <p>And whereas the said Dudley S. Gregory party of the first part under the authority contained in the said Deeds has commenced to fill in and reclaim lands under water in the waters of Hudsons sic River or her Harsimus Cove and put down and caused to be placed in and upon said lands under water certain cribs Bulkheads and Structures — And whereas the said Parties of the first second and third part hereto are desirous of filling in and reclaiming lands under water in front of or near to their respective lands bounded upon the water as aforesaid —</p> <p>A map was needed too:</p> <p>And whereas the Parties hereto are desirous of fixing settleing sic and establishing a boundary and partition of the lands under water and water rights between them…and to this end have caused a map showing such partition to be made — which is hereunto attached… pp.7–8</p> <p>The indenture aggregates together the various deeds held by the three land owners and their wives to make each land owners’ property claims clear. This information is rendered graphically on a plat map copied here from the original 1854 survey drawn by Clerk & Bacst City Surveyors of Jersey City.</p> <p>Each tract is shown on the grid of the city’s streets or what may have been proposed streets. Each is outlined in red yellow or green watercolor and infilled with a wash of the respective color.</p> <p>The area shown is bounded by Hudson Street on the east Steuben Street on the south Prospect Street on the west and South Seventh Street on the north.</p> unknown

[Indian River Region Promotional Body]
Welcome to the Indian River Country 1936 Poster-Style Graphic Wraps Citrus & Tourism
Very Good. A Quintessential Artifact of the Interwar Florida Tourism Boom.<br /> A vibrant and structurally ambitious artifact of Depression-era boosterism capturing the Indian River region's pivot from a rural citrus hub to a premier 'New Deal' tourism destination. <br /> <br /> While many Florida guides of this period focused on the 'Gilded Age' glamour of the Gold Coast this 1936 booklet emphasizes the varied 'Working Man's Paradise'-blending sport fishing marsh hunting and high-yield citrus farming with the newly accessible culture of automobile travel. The multi-panel cover art is a standout specimen of mid-1930s commercial design utilizing the stylized simplified forms and saturated palettes of the interwar travel-poster movement. It provides a rare town-by-town survey of fifteen coastal localities during a period of significant regional identity formation.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Design: Multi-panel color-litho cover in classic 1930s travel-poster style.<br /> Local Profiles: Granular coverage of 15 towns including Eau Gallie Grant Indialantic and Sebastian.<br /> Branding: Heavy focus on the 'Indian River Orange' as both a commodity and a cultural symbol.<br /> Visuals: 28 pages of photographs and stylized graphic panels typical of 1930s regional marketing.<br /> Rarity: Scarce; OCLC/WorldCat records only 6 institutional holdings.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Very Good. The bold poster-style cover remains bright and highly presentable. There is a localized stain to the lower corner of the inside cover and first page though it does not affect the exterior graphics or the structural integrity. Otherwise a carefully handled clean example with only minor wrapper corner wear. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> The 1936 Indian River booklet marks the precise moment Florida transitioned from an agricultural frontier into a motorized tourist playground. Produced during the height of the Great Depression it uses "booster optimism" to sell a lifestyle of self-sufficiency citrus and cattle alongside modern leisure tarpon fishing and beach-going. It is a vital record of the 15 included towns-many of which were then merely small fishing villages or groves-capturing their landscape before the post-WWII development boom.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Indian River Florida Brevard County History Florida Citrus Industry 1930s Tourism WPA-Era Graphic Design Sport Fishing History Vero Beach Fort Pierce New Smyrna Florida Ephemera Travel Promotion Americana Regional History Trade Catalogues. unknown

[Kentucky] [Indiana] [Ohio River] [United States House of Representatives] [Secretary of the Treasury]
Louisville and Portland Canal. Letter from the Secretary of the Treasury In Response to A resolution of the House calling for information as to the condition and affairs of the Louisville and Portland Canal Company
Washington DC: House of Representatives 1858. Map. Good. Disbound wraps. 8 pages of text. Text is detached from the maps. Illustrated with three large folding map and plans: 29" x 20" Plan of the "Lattice Pivot Bridge"; 34" x 26" Map showing the location of the Louisville Portland Canal along the Ohio River; 28" x 21" Plan of the Lift Lock. Maps are loose. Tears and chips outside the borders on the far edges of the folding maps. A few small pin holes at the map folded intersections.<br /> <br /> From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> The Louisville and Portland Canal was a 1.9-mile 3.1 km1 canal bypassing the Falls of the Ohio River at Louisville Kentucky. The Falls form the only barrier to navigation between the origin of the Ohio at Pittsburgh and the port of New Orleans near the Gulf of Mexico; circumventing them was long a goal for Pennsylvanian and Cincinnatian merchants.2 The canal opened in 1830 as the private Louisville and Portland Canal Company but was gradually bought out during the 19th century by the federal government which had invested heavily in its construction maintenance and improvement.<br /> <br /> The Louisville and Portland Canal was renamed as the McAlpine Locks and Dam in 1962 after extensive modernization.3 The name "Louisville and Portland Canal" or simply "Portland Canal" is still used to refer to the canal itself which runs between the Kentucky bank and Shippingport Island from about 10th Street down to the locks at 27th Street.<br /> <br /> The canal was the first major improvement to be completed on a major river of the United States.4.
