1763ref. 184488Cambridge: printed by John Baskerville 1763. An outstanding synthesis of fine printing illustration and binding First Baskerville edition: a spectacular copy of one of the greatest English Bibles and a crowning achievement of English printing in a magnificent Staggemeier and Welcher binding and abundantly extra-illustrated with 287 Old Master engravings. The copy adorned two of the greatest book collections of the last two centuries: the library of the Dukes of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace and of Estelle Doheny in California. Friedrich Leberecht Staggemeier 1759-1827 was esteemed for his elaborately decorated neoclassical bindings. He partnered with Samuel Welcher from 1799 to 1810 and the pair catered to the highest echelons of the market. Extra-illustration was a distinguishing feature of this market: here 171 of the illustrations are from Bernard Picart and Gerard Hoet's Figures de la Bible The Hague 1728 and 58 are from Pierre Mortier's Bible Amsterdam and Antwerp 1700 while others are from Jan Luyken's Icones Biblica Veteris et N. Testamenti Amsterdam 1729 and other sources. The extravagant binding and extra-illustration were commissioned by the first owner the collector and scholar Jacob Bryant. In 1804 he bequeathed the Bible to his patron George Spencer 4th Duke of Marlborough. It remained in the duke's collection at Blenheim Palace until 1881 when it passed to Fanny Octavia Louisa daughter of the 7th duke. Her descendants sold the book and it passed via Dawson's Book Shop to Estelle Doheny one of the greatest collectors of the 20th century where it joined her Gutenberg Bible and other landmarks of printing history. She bequeathed it to St. John's Seminary which sold it and the rest of Doheny's collection in 1988 where it realized $11000. Bound in 2 vols large folio 518 x 343 mm pp. 1146. Extra-illustrated with 287 Old Master engravings of which 198 are single page and 84 double each mounted mostly within a black ink and pale yellow wash frame. Late 18th- or early 19th-century red straight-grain morocco by L. Staggemeier & Welcher of London binder's ticket green morocco labels richly gilt in compartments wide gilt borders to covers gilt Greek-key turn-ins green watered-silk linings with gilt grapevine borders all edges gilt.

ref. 71489Burbank: Warner Bros. 1984. Film material Vintage original production-used script for the film adaptation based on the best-selling novel by Agatha Christie. Octavo 28 x 22cm pp.117 mimeograph in textured light blue card wrappers with die-cut title window bound internally with two clasps. Minor annotations to title page. Accompanied by a 7pp. shooting schedule for the film with a few annotations. Numbered copy 38 to front wrapper which bears a presentation inscription in an unknown hand. A used yet well preserved copy. Stated 'Final Draft. August 27 1984'. A Warner movie based on Agatha Christie's novel starring Helen Hayes as Miss Marple and a cast of suspects including Bette Davis John Mills Dorothy Tutin and Leo McKern. This was Helen Hayes' second outing in the role after A Caribbean Mystery in 1983 and her final film. She made her first in 1910. The unsigned and less than complimentary presentation across the front wrapper is appropriately a mystery but reads like the inscription of either a self-deprecating writer or an exasperated actor The presence here of the film's shooting schedule suggests the latter. Burbank: Warner Bros., 1984 unknown
ref. 71488Sydney: Burbank Films 1987. Film material Vintage original script for the unmade film adaptation based on the best-selling novel by Agatha Christie. Octavo 28 x 22cm pp.93 mimeograph in textured orange card wrappers with die-cut title window bound internally with two clasps. Studio details to title page redacted with Tippex title inked to lower edge of text block. A fine clean copy with a folder of associated paperwork location notes contacts etc. Plans for this film adaptation of Murder in Mesopotamia were very far advanced when the project collapsed. The screenplay was written by Julian Bond fresh from his recent success with The Whistle Blower 1986 starring Michael Caine; Christopher Miles whose project this was was in place to direct; and Peter Ustinov who by then had already played Hercule Poirot five times on screen was to be the film's star. However relations between Australian studio executives and the project's Japanese backers soured just as the project was about to be green lit and the film was never made. This copy has had the Australian studio details Burbank Films Paddington Sydney Tippexed from the title page presumably in anticipation of submitting the screenplay to other studios in the hope of reviving the vehicle. But no such salvation was found. Murder in Mesopotamia finally reached the screen in 2002 in a version by Clive Exton and starring David Suchet as Poirot. A very scarce piece of Christie arcana and a well preserved copy. Sydney: Burbank Films, 1987 unknown
1785ref. 173867Bath: printed by R. Cruttwell; and sold by Rivingtons' Dilly Robson & Robinsons' 1785. With three Biblical fore edge paintings An imposing Bible handsomely bound by Edwards of Halifax in their celebrated "Etruscan" style. The set is unusual in featuring motifs relevant to the contents on all three fore-edges - scenes from the Old and New Testaments - as opposed to the more typical landscapes. Edwards famously almost never signed their bindings and their style was very frequently reproduced by others. This set is cited by Weber in his Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Paintings as "a notable Bible from the Edwards bindery" Weber 2010 p. 118-9 and it is used as an example in a chapter devoted to distinguishing genuine Edwards bindings and paintings from imitations. The technique of concealing a painting under the gilt fore edge of books was revived in England by William Edwards about 1780. "The Edwards family not only carried on the art but enlarged it from the mainly floral and heraldic early efforts with occasional religious scenes and royal portraits to embrace views of well-known country houses set in landscapes" Marks p. 194. They were the originators of the bucolic English fore-edge painting which became standard in the 19th century. Scholars believe that the paintings were made in Halifax rather than in London by artists both within and outside the family and under the supervision of Thomas Edwards. Inspiration for the images was taken from various sources often engravings appearing in other books; for landscapes the favourite artist was William Gilpin a pioneer of the "picturesque". Volume I features a moment from Genesis: Abraham welcoming three angels into his home an act of hospitality which moved the Lord to bless Abraham and his wife with a son despite she was far beyond childbearing age. On Volume II is an episode from Exodus: an Egyptian princess and her attendants discover the infant Moses in the bulrushes of the Nile. Volume III displays an animated scene from the life of St. Paul as he preaches in Rome. The "Etruscan" style binding with a border of palmettes and other classical ornaments stencilled in black on brown calf was one of the firm's most popular designs. The origin of this style is debated: some 19th-century writers attributed the invention to John Whitaker while others ascribe it to the Edwards firm. It is known that Edwards employed it from at least 1775. Provenance: a Herman Frasch Whiton probably the American sailor and Olympic champion 1904-1967 with his elaborately designed bookplate featuring his arms and a ship on the verso of an initial blank in each volume. b Randall J. Moskovitz MD American collector from Memphis Tennessee with his bookplates loosely inserted. 3 vols large quarto 306 x 238 mm.
