HUMPHREYS, Henry Noel.
The Miracles of Our Lord.
London: Longman & Co. 1848. One of the "supreme examples of Victorian Gothic" First edition of this icon of 19th-century book design. It is one of a handful of titles that showcase Humphrey's black so-called papier-mâché binding and displays a fantastic suite of his chromolithographs. Such bindings which imitate carved ebony were cast in plaster over a papier mâché mould. "The result was splendidly gothic and impressive" and they represent "perhaps the biggest triumph among all the ingenuities of Victorian commercial book-binding" McLean pp. 72 & 151. This design was inspired by a binding of carved ivory on a psalter in the British Museum. Humphreys 1810-1879 was also heavily influenced by Italian and Flemish manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The skill of the chromolithography demonstrated here is masterly and improves upon that of his previous titles. Octavo. Chromolithograph title page heightened in gilt 31 chromolithograph leaves with text and borders in medieval style 4 pp. letterpress at end. Original black plaster boards with elaborate gothic relievo design by Humphreys incorporating six medallion vignettes depicting miracles black embossed morocco spine spine and both boards lettered in relief gilt inner dentelles Fountain pattern marbled endpapers gilt edges. Housed in a custom blue cloth box. Relievo crisp and unrubbed boards superficially cracked at edges lower corners bumped letterpress pages foxed plates bright. A near-fine copy.
