Bradley Rev. Edward "Cuthbert Bede"
Verdant Green An Oxford Freshman": Pencil drawing signed "Cuthbert Bede-1853" lower left
n.p. 1853. 1 vols. Image 9-1/2 x 12 inches; attractively gilt-framed with lettered French mat 17-1/2 x 19-1/2 inches overall. 1 vols. Image 9-1/2 x 12 inches; attractively gilt-framed with lettered French mat 17-1/2 x 19-1/2 inches overall. Original Drawing of Mr. Verdant Green at Cricket. A popular Victorian literary character was Mr. Verdant Green an Oxford Freshman hero of several books written and illustrated by a Midland vicar Rev. Edward Bradley 1827-1889 under the pen-name of Cuthbert Bede. Bradley had learned wood-engraving from no less than George Cruikshank but as Houfe notes "remained very much the amateur illustrating his own books.and others in a jolly and careless style." He also drew for Punch and "was one of the first illustrators to satirise photography." This drawing jolly and careless shows two sketches of the hapless freshman unsuccessfully defending a wicket--the drawings appear in more finished wood-engraved form on pages 100-101 of The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green-- and a more formal portrait done in the year in which The Adventures first appeared thus making it an Oxford literary and cricket item all in one. Houfe British Book Illustrators p. 230 unknown

Spine nearly gone wear to boards but internally good with some darkening and mostly marginal dampstaining. In pale blue-green cloth case with black spine label gilt. First Edition. 1 vols. Small Square 8vo. In referring to Bradley's "An Improved Spelling Book" similar in format to this one and published the same year Nietz informs us that "this book was different from many others in several respects. First Bradley frankly acknowledged that 'the extracts have been taken from Webster Wood Picket Alden Bingham Flint Murray Hubbard Fordyce Walker the American Gentleman's Pronouncing Dictionary Dr. Johnson Dr. Morse and Dr. Blair all authors of spellers.' A second different feature was that all of the content other than the spelling words was presented in catechetical form" Nietz.
