1741rif. 1029H4London: R. Dodsley 1741. Leather. Good. 8" by 5". None Stated. The first edition of Charles Balguy's English translation of Boccaccio's "Decameron" an influential 18th century rendering of this captivating collection of one hundred tales. In a contemporary full calf binding. The first edition of Charles Balguy's English translation published anonymously. ESTC No.: T128696. The text and register are continuous despite the pagination. Balguy's translation was one of the principal English versions of Boccaccio's Decameron. Originally composed in the mid-14th century The Decameron is structured around ten young Florentines who escape the Black Death by retiring to the countryside where they tell one hundred stories over ten days. Balguy's version is notably an expurgated translation. In adapting Boccaccio for 18th century English readership he omitted two of the more sexually explicit tales and softened other passages considered indecent. An important 18th century English edition of one of the foundational works of European literature. In a contemporary full calf binding. Externally somewhat worn. Joints cracked with boards a little loose but holding by the cords. Calf rubbed and bumped to the extremities with minor chipping and surface loss more pronounced along the joints and at the spine ends. Spine slightly creased and rubbed with slight fading and rubbing. The odd light handling mark to boards. Front hinge strained with sewing exposed. Front free endpaper largely detached holding only at a small portion of the upper gutter with associated edge wear and creasing. Title page partially detached at the upper gutter. Scattered spotting to endpapers. Text block otherwise generally firmly bound. Pages characteristically age toned more pronounced to the odd gathering with scattered light spotting and the odd minor handling mark. Good R. Dodsley hardcover

1954rif. 9407Lexington KY: Gravesend Press 1954. Vellum Binding. Near Fine binding. 18mo. 10 48 4 pp. illus. Limited edition number 9 of 200 copies. As issued in vellum-backed patterned-paper over boards. Lacking the slipcase. A handsome copy with only light toning to the perimeters of the boards; contents clean. This copy with 4-page prospectus. This work was the first book issued by the Gravesend Press that was actually printed using the Graves' press in their stable by Graves and Jacob Hammer. Kredel's charming engraved pressmark of a sleeping pressman graces the final page. Graves writes about this in his Bibliographical Confession the donkey in the window was their family pet Patience. Graves operated the press as a sideline from about 1949 through to the end of his life in 1960 issuing scarcely more than half a dozen books. While less known that some of his contemporaries he took his place amidst a vibrant mid-century printing and illustrating scene—friends with Victor Hammer Carolyn Reading Fritz Kredel John DePol John Fass and others. H. Richard Archer in a history of the Graves and his press published in The Kentucky Review Spring 1987 summarizes Graves's work thus: "All of the books whether pamphlets or bound books reflect the taste and high standards of a true amateur craftsman and as such they certainly qualify as choice examples from one of this generation's most distinguished private presses." Press historian Roderick Cave notes that this was "probably the most successful Gravesend book" p. 263.
