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.

HUMPHREYS, Henry Noel
The Origin and Progress of the Art of Writing: A connected Narrative of the Development of the Art its primeval phases in Egypt China Mexico etc.and its subsequent progress to the present day. Illustrated by a number of specimens of the writing of all ages and a series of facsimiles from autograph letters from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century.
London: David Bogue. 1854 1854. First edition. pp. viii 176. 28 plates many of which thirteen are beautiful examples of Victorian chromolithography mostly Day & Son. Black embossed pierced and moulded papier maché over" red paper show-through" covered boards rebacked with part of the spine laid down. Spine lettered in gilt. All edges gilt. Some small cracks to the papier maché and there is some foxing but overall an excellent copy. McLean notes that it is surprising that The Origin and Progress of the Art of Writing should have been given such an elaborate papier mache binding when the book was clearly meant to be read rather than just admired. The two are not mutually exclusive of course but this wonderful book does tread a careful line between the strictly utilitarian and the very beautiful. But then of course writing and books more generally can be both beautiful and useful. As McLean says "there is an integrity and originality in Noel Humphrey's work" and "the width of his learning was obviously great". London: David Bogue. 1854 hardcover
