1860réf. 5152New York John McLoughlin 1860 John McLoughlin was a Scottish-born coach maker who became a prominent figure in the New York publishing industry during the 19th century. He began in 1819 after moving to New York and initially worked for the Sterling Iron Company, where he developed an interest in printing. By 1828, he had established his own printing business on Tryon Row in Manhattan, focusing on publishing semi-religious tracts for children under the title McLoughlin's Books for Children. In 1840, McLoughlin partnered with wood engraver Robert H. Elton to form Elton & Co., which specialised in toy books, comic almanacs, and valentines. His son, John McLoughlin Jr., eventually took over in 1850 when both senior partners retired. The firm of McLoughlin Brothers is listed at 24 Beekman St. in the New York directories for 1858 to 1862, McLoughlin Bros. was located at 30 Beekman St., New York, between 1863 and April, 1870. Under John Jr.'s leadership, the company became known as McLoughlin Brothers and pioneered the use of colour printing technologies, including chromolithography, for children's books. This innovation made their publications visually striking and widely popular. The McLoughlin Brothers expanded their offerings to include games, puzzles, paper dolls, and other children's products. By 1870, they had opened the largest colour printing factory in the United States. Their works often featured adaptations of British stories by illustrators such as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway. The company thrived until it was sold to Milton Bradley in 1920. Despite this transition, the McLoughlin imprint continued to produce children's books into the early 20th century.

réf. 87212The Leadenhall Press 1894. . Hand coloured engraving showing a rural scene near London with fashionably dressed gentlemen riding the newly invented 'hobby horse'. The forerunner of the bicycle the 'hobby' or 'dandy horse' was invented by the German Baron Karl von Drais in France in 1817. It was introduced to England the following year by Denis Johnson a coachmaker of Long Acre London who described it as a 'Pedestrian Curricle'. Hobby horses had no pedals or brakes but were propelled by the rider pushing on the ground with his feet and dragging the feet to slow the machine. Johnson started a school where prospective purchasers could learn how to ride the machine and in 1819 fashionable London society was briefly gripped by a craze for riding a hobby horse.

réf. 74493N.p. London: Elstree Studios/ABPC 1951. Literary and cinematic critique Elstree Studios' report on the first stage adaptation of the Hercule Poirot detective novel The Hollow. 3pp. typed report on rectos only reader's delivery stamp to first page. Together with a first edition of the play/acting edition Samuel French 1952. Perforations down left edge from office binding. Very well preserved. Book shows some handling and use; very good. Agatha Christie's The Hollow was published in 1946 and the play on which it is based produced by Peter Saunders opened at the Arts Theatre in Cambridge on 10 February 1951. After an eight-week tour the play opened at the Fortune Theatre in London on 7 June 1951 to an enthusiastic press response and was attended by Queen Mary. The report states 'this is quite an effective and amusing play of the usual Agatha Christie ingenuity. . The play does not exactly invite filming - there is too little action and too much talk.' It transferred to the Ambassadors Theatre on 8 October 1951 and ran for 376 performances. Christie was so pleased with Saunders' production that she took him to lunch just after Christmas 1951 and gave him a brown paper package. Inside it was the script for a new play she had just written based on a 1947 radio play broadcast for Queen Mary's birthday entitled The Mousetrap. This became the longest running play in the world reaching its 30000th performance on 19 March 2025. Saunders was knighted in 1982. N.p. [London: Elstree Studios/ABPC], 1951 unknown

1617réf. 659L6Oxford: John Baskett 1716-1717. First edition. Fine Binding. Very Good. 21" by 14". None. A beautiful set of the famed 'Vinegar Bible' published by John Baskett of Oxford. Dibdin notes this Bible as 'the most magnificent' of the Oxford Bibles. A handsome edition with this set bound in a binding with George III's monogram to the boards. The first edition of the 'Vinegar Bible' which is known as such due to the erroneous 'The parable of the vinegar' instead of 'vineyard' above Luke XX the verso of G6 to the New Testament. This variant has the 1717 imprint to the Old Testament and the 1716 imprint to the New Testament. Printed by John Baskett who was the King's printer. Baskett held a reputation for purchasing competing Bible printing business and absorbing them into his own. He wished to produce a high quality Bible in a folio edition that would become a presentation piece used in churches and aristocrats. This Bible was therefore produced. A scarce edition of The Bible which holds important stature in the history of print and in the bibliography of The Bible. Particularly scarce in this contemporary Royal binding which is possibly a presentation binding produced for this work. This edition has the red-ruling throughout both volumes. The 'Vinegar Bible' is noted for its beautiful head and tail pieces throughout. Harry Carter in 'The History of the Oxford University Press' notes that 'only Baskerville's Bible is its equal among English Bibles for beauty of type impression and paper' Carter p.171. This copy has been skillfully rebacked to both volumes with the original spines laid down and boards preserved. With a Sotheran stamp to the verso of front endpaper. With the vignette title page depicting the Clarendon Building to the Old Testament. To the New Testament there is a vignette title page depicting the Annunciation. Sumptuously illustrated throughout with head and tail pieces in addition to engraved ornamental letters. With the signatures: 1 a-b2 c1 2 A-4P6 4Q3; 1 A-X6 Y4 Collated without additional engraved title page. Blank 4Q4 to the Old Testament and Apocrypha is not present. Gathering is bound after c1 rather than preceding a-b2 as it is found in the ESTC signatures. Another nickname for this edition was 'A Baskett-ful of Errors' due to the numerous misprints Herbert 942; Darlow & Moule 735. A very smart copy of this work in an important contemporary binding. In uniform contemporary black morocco bindings with the monogram of George III to the front boards. 'GR' Monogram to the spines. Rebacked with the original spines laid down and boards preserved. Externally generally smart. Light marks to boards and minor fading to the gilt. Internally both volumes are firmly bound. Small loss to the dedication leaf from chipping with repairs to the dedication leaf at the gutter. Minor chips to first few leaves to the Old Testament at the extremities. Tiny worm holes to 1 of Old Testament. Occasional tape repairs to the margins of leaves to both volumes noticeably to the bottom margin of E1 to the outer margin of E5 and to 2L3 which affects the occasional word to the left hand column. R6 has slight creasing and some minor closed tears to the gutter not affecting text. Small loss to the bottom margin of 2B2. Small loss to the extremities of 4C2. 'New Testament' also has repairs to the bottom margin several leaves including the title page C5 & 6 N2 and T2. To H3 there is a repair to a closed tear at the bottom of the page not affecting the text. Tape repairs to the text of K4 to the New Testament obscuring the occasional word. Pages are unusually bright. The majority of leaves to this work are clean however 4F2 and 4F5 to the Old Testament are spotted. Very Good John Baskett unknown
