1954réf. 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.

1620réf. Bv2407The First English Language Edition of Boccaccio"s masterpiece "the dirtiest great book in the Western canon." Two works in one: FIRST ENGLISH EDITION of the second second English edition of the first as virtually always. Quarto. Late 19th-century full dark red morocco gilt raised bands marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Isaac Jaggard 1625 1620. The five year delay of the second volume has summoned various uncertain explanations but by the time it was ready the first printing of the first volume had been exhausted and a new printing produced. No comparable second printing of the second volume has been recorded. The first translation into English of one of the greatest books in all literature to which countless legendary authors -- Shakespeare Chaucer Swift Keats -- are indebted. This anonymous English translation of Boccaccio often ascribed to John Florio is one of a small cluster of imprints to carry the name of Isaac Jaggard joint publisher and printer of Shakespeare's First Folio on the same presses contemporaneous with The First Folio. Described by The New Yorker as "probably the dirtiest great book in the Western canon" The Decameron relates several salacious stories "Wittily discoursed betweene seven Honorable Ladies and three Noble Gentlemen" sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death tormenting the city. The various tales of love and lust in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit practical jokes and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In 1559 when the Vatican first produced its Index of Banned Books the Decameron appeared on its first list. The author has even contributed to the Italian language where the word "boccaccesco" we might say "Boccaccio-esque" is used to describe something salacious or lewd. In the end "Boccaccio creates a human panorama of love courage cowardice wit wisdom deceit and folly. If he does not teach the art of living virtuously he does the 'art of living well" Boorstin 266-70. Small ink annotation to front free endpaper pencil bibliographic annotations to first leaf and recto of rear free endpaper the latter signed "Mr. B. Quaritch Ltd". Text generally clean and fresh with only a few spots of light foxing a tiny bit of light marginal dampstaining to a few leaves front inner hinge expertly reinforced. Occasional tiny hole to leaves affecting letters but not sense of text. An excellent copy handsomely bound. Book #Bv2407. $50000.
