ENGLISH POTTERY TRADE CATALOGUE
Designs of Sundry Articles of Queen's or Cream-colour'd Earthen-Ware manufactured by Hartley Greens and Co. at Leeds Pottery: with a great variety of other articles. The same enamel'd Printed or Ornamented with Gold to any Pattern; also with Coats of Arms Cyphers Landscapes &c. &c. / Abrisse von verschiedenen Artickeln vom Koniginnen oder gleben Stein-Gute. / Desseins de divers articles de Poteries de la Reine en Couleur de Creme .
Leeds 1794. Large 4to 308 x 240 mm. 12 leaves text comprising 3 printed titles each with a 6-page description of the items in the catalogue in German French and English and 45 engraved plates of which one folding containing 186 designs numbered 1-152 with an additional 34 numbered and lettered designs for "tea-ware" tea- and coffee-ware in the French and English descriptions. Paper watermarked with a fleur-de-lys and shield with capital letters L V G below Lubertus van Gerrevink. Some light scattered foxing and offsetting plate 20 with closed tear to top margin just entering plate area without loss folding plate 26 torn across and repaired. Modern retrospective calf gilt edges red-stained extremities very lightly rubbed. Provenance: contemporary notes in Portuguese on the blank verso of the last plate; Duncan Grant Warrand loosely inserted ex-libris; Martin Woolf Orskey bookseller 1925-2018 signature at end with purchase date 1972. A multi-lingual catalogue of pottery produced by Hartley Greens and Co. for the use of traveling salesmen. Founded circa 1756 at Hunslet south of Leeds the company gained a reputation for its elegant cream-colored earthenware in the classical style known as creamware a type of earthenware made from white Cornish clay combined with a translucent glaze to produce a characteristic pale cream color. Hartley Greens and Co. so dominated the market that their products came to be referred to as Leedsware or Leeds pottery. Although some of the pieces in this catalogue are for display or special use Leeds pottery was generally a more everyday pottery than that of Wedgewood their principal rival and hence its survival rate is low. The earlier pieces before around 1775 were furthermore unmarked making attribution uncertain thus rendering the firm's printed catalogues all the more important. The present catalogue was "one of the earliest pattern books published in England by pottery manufacturers for the use of their travellers with illustrations of all the articles produced by the firm" Solon. It shows the creamware as issued from the studios before jobbers and importers added colored glazes. Shown are terrines sauce boats salts jugs egg cups covered terrines and bowls cake plates cruet stands candlesticks urns tea services and a remarkable tulip vase among other useful objects of the table many with ornaments some in the characteristic openwork or perforated style. All 186 designs are numbered and identified in the accompanying plate lists. The variety is impressive. Copies of the Leeds catalogues were often cut up by jobbers who relied on the illustrations to transmit orders accurately rather than trusting to written descriptions of the forms. Their consequent rarity makes the publishing history of the catalogues difficult to unravel. The earliest catalogue appeared in 1783 with the text in English only and 41 plates. The Danish National Library has a copy with the text in English and French and the English title dated 1786. Another copy of the present 1794 edition is held by the V&A but it has only 41 plates. Meanwhile there are also copies of a 1794 edition at Yale and RISD with the English text only but with 71 plates. The plates were reissued in 1795 and 1814 or 1815 these undated issues are identified by the watermarked dates of the paper they are printed on. Most of the variously dated copies seem to be reissues of the same plates. Most of the variously dated copies seem to be reissues of the same plates. A comparison of this copy to the Winterthur copy from 1814 which is digitized shows that the same plates were used with the addition of an engraved oval label " Leeds Pottery" on each plate up to and including plate 38 a compotier from which emerges a large cross after which the designs diverge. The editions or issues after 1795 do not have the very useful text with gives the name function and size of each piece: "As the price lists and the general title had been printed independently from the plates and not in sufficient quality to accompany the sets of engravings these late copies are generally found without the title and the printed description of the objects. These price lists now very rare were printed in English French German and Spanish. As the prices were subject to constant revision prices are added with pen and ink" Solon. Our copy is unpriced. Altogether OCLC locates fewer than a dozen copies some incomplete of various issues or editions of the Leeds pottery catalogue. Cf. M.-L. Solon Ceramic Literature 1910 p. 196. unknown books

18 lines on folded self envelope with cancelled stamp signed "GeoCruikshank" Cruikshank writes that at an "elocution class" at the Southwark Literary & Scientific Institution" he had intimated a friendship with MacKay and that the class entreated him to get McKay to address the asembly. Cruikshank writes this letter enclosed with an invitation not included. Small piece missing from the bottom of the leaf not affecting any of the holograph. from Wikipedia: Cruikshank George 1792-1878 English caricaturist illustrator and etcher; younger son of Isaac Cruikshank 1756-1810 caricaturist. Self-taught George early gained a reputation for his humorous drawings and political and social satires. He succeeded James Gillray as the most popular caricaturist of his day. Cruikshank illustrated more than 850 books and contributed to such publications as the Meteor the Scourge and the Satirist. Among the best of his many illustrations are the famous Life in London in collaboration with his brother; his masterly etchings for Grimm's German Popular Stories; and the 12 etchings in Richard Bentley's miscellany which include the notable illustrations of Oliver Twist. In his later years Cruikshank made many drawings depicting the evils of intemperance such as The Drunkard's Children The Bottle and The Gin Trap. Collections of his works are in the British and the Victoria and Albert museums.

AINSWORTH William Harrison English Novelist. 1805 82. Wrote 39 novels chiefly historical
AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED; One page dated September 21 1881
From Wikipedia: "William Harrison Ainsworth 4 February 1805 - 3 January 1882 was an English historical novelist born at King Street in Manchester. He trained as a lawyer but the legal profession held no attraction for him. While completing his legal studies in London he met the publisher John Ebers at that time manager of the King's Theatre Haymarket. Ebers introduced Ainsworth to literary and dramatic circles and to his daughter who became Ainsworth's wife.Ainsworth briefly tried the publishing business but soon gave it up and devoted himself to journalism and literature. His first success as a writer came with Rookwood in 1834 which features Dick Turpin as its leading character. A stream of 39 novels followed the last of which appeared in 1881. Ainsworth died in Reigate on 3 January 1882. Ainsworth regrets a delay in answering a letter and discusses a reception and banquet held for him by the Mayor of Manchester. unknown books
