(ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON PAPER - MODERN). (GARTER, ORDER OF THE)
AN ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ARMORIAL REGISTER as well as a printed listing OF MEMBERS OF THE ORDER OF THE GARTER
London: Illuminated and published by A. Prichard Harrison and Son 1844. FIRST EDITION. 284 x 225 mm. 11 1/8 x 8 3/4". 17 printed leaves preceded by 3 leaves and followed by 44 leaves of illuminated manuscript. <br/> Handsome contemporary crimson straight grain morocco by C. Cross Binder to the Queen stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper covers with gilt French fillet border raised bands flanked by multiple plain gilt rules spine with gilt titling turn-ins densely gilt marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With illuminated gouache title page and dedication EIGHT FULL-PAGE GOUACHE ILLUSTRATIONS including a dramatic depiction of St. George slaying the dragon AND 37 LEAVES EMBLAZONED WITH 726 COATS OF ARMS ALL OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS DONE BY HAND AND HEIGHTENED WITH GOLD. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Henry Drummond and with a manuscript letter to Drummond from A. P. Harrison postmarked 1844 tipped in at front. ◆A few very faint scratches on back cover the printed portion with faint overall browning because of paper stock used otherwise A SUPERB COPY the attractive binding quite lustrous and virtually unworn and the illuminated portion with its brilliant colors and gold entirely intact.<br/> <br/> This is an exceedingly rare and beautifully executed item that combines a printed list with a group of full-page paintings and the hand-painted arms many of them minutely figured of those personages who from its founding by Edward III in 1348 through 1844 had been elevated to membership in the Order of the Garter. Inclusion in this order of chivalry is the highest of the honors bestowed by the British sovereign and is restricted at any given time to just 24 persons. Members include those chosen for their distinctive services to the crown as well as supernumerary members encompassing the British royal family and foreign monarchs. There are 719 members listed in the register here and an additional seven knights and their shields are added on the final illustrated page of the register. In 2008 Prince William became the 1000th Knight of the Garter. The name of the order according to tradition is taken from an incident at the court of Edward III in which the Countess of Salisbury lost one of the garters holding her hose to the amusement of onlookers. The king gallantly retrieved it and tied it to his own leg chiding the courtiers "Honi soit qui mal y pense" "Shame upon him who thinks evil upon it" which became the motto of the order. Our volume in addition to depicting the coats of arms of all recipients of the order through 1844 contains full-page illustrations of the insignia of the order a blue garter with the motto emblazoned in gold encircling the arms of England and surmounted by a coronet of St. George patron saint of the Order and of England slaying the dragon the badge and collar worn by Knights of the Garter on formal occasions a portrait of Edward III after that in St. George's Chapel and a knight of the order in full regalia including the garter worn below the left knee. This appears to be a most unusual item: we could find no copies listed in OCLC or ABPC and only one in COPAC the UK's National Academic & Specialist Library Catalogue. A later version was issued by publisher J.C. Hotten in 1872 but even that is located by OCLC in only six libraries. Our copy comes from the collection of and may have been specially prepared for Henry Drummond English banker politician and writer whose related work "Histories of the Noble British Families with Biographical Notices of the Most Distinguished Individuals in Each" was published by Pickering in 1842-46 in two giant folio volumes. Illuminated and published by A. Prichard Harrison and Son unknown

(ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM - MODERN). NA-HUAB, SIUOL (ie, LOUIS BAUHAN, Scribe and Illuminator (BINDINGS - THE RENAISSANC
FRIAR JEROME'S BEAUTIFUL BOOK
Chicago: Written and Illuminated for The Renaissance Society ca. 1915. 216 x 153 mm. 8 1/2 x 6". ii 28 pp. 1 leaf colophon. Single column 18 lines in an attractive calligraphic hand. <br/> VERY PRETTY VIOLET CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT AND INLAID for The Renaissance Society stamp-signed in gilt on front doublure smooth spine with gilt titling FULL MOROCCO DOUBLURES consisting of a green morocco panel framed by purple morocco with gilt dots and scrolling floral motifs at each corner each with an inlaid white morocco flower cream-colored watered silk endleaves. In a lavender buckram chemise and matching purple morocco-backed slipcase with raised bands and gilt lettering. With many one-line initials in pink each leaf with a different two- to four-line initial in a different style with both painted and gilt elements and exuberantly decorated most leaves with a panel or "L"-shaped border ranging from simple lines to elaborate decorative bars a few borders with small landscapes and a total of FOUR FIGURAL SCENES decorative title page with colorful initials lettering and decorative flourishes text beginning with A HALF-PAGE MINIATURE OF ST. JEROME AT HIS DESK surrounded by A FULL BORDER of flowers gilt detailing and stylized heads of putti all by Louis Bauhan. Front free endpaper with bookplate of Phoebe Boyle. Leather with a slight chalky appearance silk endleaves starting to fray at fore edge a few leaves with a hint of waviness but THE MANUSCRIPT IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION the vellum entirely clean and the paint especially bright and fresh.<br/> <br/> Exuberantly decorated by a major illustrator of the period this manuscript was commissioned and bound for The Renaissance Society of Chicago before making its way into the superb collection of American bibliophile Phoebe Boyle. The text here comes from a poem by "Atlantic Monthly" writer and editor Thomas Bailey Aldrich 1836-1907 imagining the agony and the ecstasy of St. Jerome as he sat down to write his translation of the Bible. The illumination though certainly inspired by the decorative programs of Medieval manuscripts is decidedly modern in appearance drawing on the Art Nouveau movement and utilizing bold color combinations and whimsical design motifs. It is not clear why the illustrator here Louis Bauhan 1855-1941 has used the ananym "Siuol Na-Huab" because there is no reason to hide responsibility for producing the clean elegant script the imaginative marginal decoration and the finished human and animal images that enliven the manuscript. Bauhan was a very successful painter and illustrator perhaps best known to the public as art editor of "Cosmopolitan Magazine" under John Brisben Walker who edited and published the magazine from 1889 to 1905. In 1881 Bauhan helped to found the Kit-Kat Club of New York a bohemian artists' and cultural association; he was persistently in demand as a book illustrator; and among other things he painted landscapes and portraits in oil. The colophon here states that the manuscript was written and illuminated for The Renaissance Society--an artistic group associated with the University of Chicago whose mission was to cultivate and promote modern art--and it was given an appropriately luxurious binding by the same organization. The manuscript was obviously valued highly enough to join the collection of Phoebe A. D. Boyle a client George Sutcliffe described as "rivalling the Medici in her patronage of the production of beautiful books." Shepherd "The Cinderella of the Arts" p. 63 Stephen Ratcliffe describes the Boyle collection as "unrivalled" for its jewelled bindings and modern illuminated manuscripts and any book from the Boyle collection which was put together with the greatest taste and discrimination is recognized as desirable beyond its intrinsic literary merit. Written and Illuminated for The Renaissance Society unknown

(KING CHARLES III, formerly Prince Charles, HRH The Prince of Wales) H R H
1990 Autograph Letter Signed
<p>An Autograph Letter Signed ALS by King Charles III then Prince Charles H.R.H. The Prince of Wales expressing thanks for a birthday gift received from Dudley Poplak 1930-2005 his good friend and interior designer.</p><p>2pp. on 1 folded sheet of Highgrove House headed notepaper with blue royal cypher dated November 17th 1990 a single fold to the paper; near fine accompanied with the original white envelope with blue royal cypher addressed in hand by the King and postmarked Buckingham Palace 19 Nov 1990; very good.</p><p>Personal letters by King Charles III to individuals in his inner circle are very rare to encounter.</p><p>The letter reads as follows:</p><p><em>"Dear Dudley</em></p><p><em>You really <u>are</u> an incredibly kind & thoughtful person to remember my birthday <u>and</u> to send such a splendid present! Thank you <u>so</u> much for that magnificent & highly original inkwell I don't know how you manage to find these things with feathers on Is there anything which <u>hasn't</u> got feathers on!</em></p><p><em>I was so touched that you managed to ensure your present reached me on my birthday in Tokyo. I felt very spoilt!</em></p><p><em>All best wishes as always</em></p><p><em><u>Charles"</u></em></p><p>The King was in Tokyo on his birthday in 1990 as the then Prince and Princess of Wales were attending the enthronement of Emperor Akihito. Emperor Akihito recently abdicated in 2019 due to his declining health and was replaced by his son formerly Crown Prince Naruhito.</p><p>Dudley Poplak was born in South Africa in 1930 and received British citizenship shortly after moving to Britain in 1959. Poplak was a highly successful interior designer receiving commissions from the British royal family and British nobility. He initially came into contact with the royal family via Frances Shand-Kydd 1936-2004 the Mother of Diana Princess of Wales. He was introduced to Frances Shand-Kydd by Elizabeth Clare Hanley 1915-2002 a lampshade designer who received a royal warrant in 1977 as the official lampshade supplier for the royal family.</p><p>Poplak updated the rooms Diana Princess of Wales was using when she first moved to Kensington Palace in 1981. He also refurbished Highgrove House for the Prince of Wales and his soon to be wife Lady Diana Spencer which he regarded as "the most important assignment I have ever had."

1992 Autograph Letter Signed
<p>An Autograph Letter Signed ALS by King Charles III then Prince Charles H.R.H. The Prince of Wales expressing thanks for a birthday gift received from Dudley Poplak 1930-2005 his good friend and interior designer.</p><p>4pp. on 2 folded sheets of Kensington Palace headed notepaper with blue royal cypher dated December 1st 1992 a single fold to the paper; near fine accompanied with the original white envelope with blue royal cypher addressed in hand by the King; very good.</p><p>Personal letters by King Charles III to individuals within his inner circle are very rare to encounter.</p><p>The letter reads as follows:</p><p><em>"Dear Dudley</em></p><p><em>Bless you for so kindly thinking of me on my birthday and for your wonderfully generous present of that splendid commode. You have been so marvellous over the past 11 years with your birthday presents & I can't tell you how touched I have been by them - and none more so than that exquisite Edward Lear you gave me. It is one of my most treasured possessions particularly as it belonged originally to my Aunt Rita.</em></p><p><em>Whether I can <u>use</u> the commode remains to be seen ! but it is a lovely object in itself & I am thrilled with it.</em></p><p><em>Please forgive the awful delay in thanking you but I find I can never cope very well after my birthday as there is so much else going on at the same time at this point in the year!</em></p><p><em>With kindest regards -</em></p><p><em>Yours most gratefully</em></p><p><em><u>Charles"</u></em></p><p>Dudley Poplak was born in South Africa in 1930 and received British citizenship shortly after moving to Britain in 1959. Poplak was a highly successful interior designer receiving commissions from the British royal family and British nobility. He initially came into contact with the royal family via Frances Shand-Kydd 1936-2004 the Mother of Diana Princess of Wales. He was introduced to Frances Shand-Kydd by Elizabeth Clare Hanley 1915-2002 a lampshade designer who received a royal warrant in 1977 as the official lampshade supplier for the royal family.</p><p>Poplak updated the rooms Diana Princess of Wales was using when she first moved to Kensington Palace in 1981. He also refurbished Highgrove House for the Prince of Wales and his soon to be wife Lady Diana Spencer which he regarded as "the most important assignment I have ever had." Poplak's 2005 obituary in The Times characterised him as "a shy and private man" who was deeply valued and trusted by his clients for his "courtier-like discretion and marked reticence with the press." When The Times wrote a story that he was refurbishing Highgrove House for the Prince and Princess of Wales he stated:</p><p>"I certainly won't tell you what the colour schemes are. That would be like disclosing the design of Lady Diana's wedding dress."</p><p>After the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales Poplak carried out further interior design projects at the royal residences and also on the royal train. Poplak was a good friend of both the Prince and Princess of Wales and remained so even after the couple's divorce. Although Poplak retired in the 1990's he continued to carry out interior design work for Prince Charles up until he died in 2005.</p><p>"Aunt Rita" who the King refers to in this letter was his paternal aunt Princess Margarita of Hohenlohe-Langenburg 1905-1981. Princess Margarita was one of Princess Anne's godparents.</p><p>The Times. Dudley Poplak Obituary. 2005.</p><p>Please contact us for shipping costs if ordering from outside the UK.</p>

(KING CHARLES III, formerly Prince Charles, HRH The Prince of Wales) H R H
HRH The Prince Of Wales Watercolours. Inscribed by King Charles III.
<p>First Edition. Oblong quarto bound in original grey cloth stamped in silver with royal emblem to upper board original pictorial dust jacket with colour illustrations throughout pp. 160. Published by Little Brown and Company London 1991.</p><p>A signed presentation copy from the King to Julian Bicknell inscribed by the King on the half-title page:</p><p><em>"For Julian - </em></p><p><em>With very best wishes for Xmas 1991 from </em></p><p><em>Charles"</em></p><p>Some light wear to the dust jacket and a touch of toning to the flaps a little toning to the page edges as usual very light finger soiling to the bottom right corner of the half-title page; a near fine example.</p><p>Provenance: Julian Bicknell born 1945 is a new classical architect and perhaps most famous for designing the Palladian Henbury Hall Cheshire. At the time the King presented Mr Bicknell with this book he was deeply involved in the Prince's Institute of Architecture as a trustee. He was also a member of their academic board a tutor in London and the summer schools in both France and Italy.</p><p>Art is one of the King's great passions and he wrote in the introduction to this work:</p><p>"I have tried in these pages to convey something of the part that painting plays in my life. In many ways it helps to keep me reasonably sane and if it doesn't appeal to the critics then it's just too bad! I only hope that those who are rash enough to thumb through this book may be helped to discover what infinite beauty and delight there is in the details of God's creation".</p><p>The Queen Mother wrote the preface for the book. In part the Queen Mother wrote:</p><p>"I am delighted that this book is being published and it is nice to think that a wider audience will now have a chance to see some of the watercolours painted by my grandson in many different parts of the world. Ever since he was a small boy Prince Charles has taken an interest in his surroundings and has developed his powers of observation to the point where painting became a necessary and vital expression of that interest."</p><p>The money raised from sales of the book was given to the Prince of Wales's charities.</p><p>Please contact us for shipping costs if ordering from outside the UK.</p> Little, Brown and Company. hardcover
