Very appealing late 19th century scarlet crushed morocco gilt by Riviere & Son stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with French fillet and drawer-handle tool borders upper cover with gilt lettering; raised bands spine gilt in compartments with central floral sprig surrounded by small tools volute cornerpieces gilt titling turn-ins with decorative floral rolls moss green watered silk doublures and endleaves all edges gilt. WITH 17 ANIMATED AQUATINT ENGRAVINGS COLORED BY HAND 14 plates in "Moments" and three plates in "Byron". Front flyleaf with bookplate of Ernest G. Mocatta. For "Moments": Tooley 40. See also: Ray p. 32; Houfe p. 217. ◆Leather with hints of dulling from leather preservative but the binding virtually unworn with a lustrous spine. A couple of trivial smudges to one margin and occasional light offsetting but A FINE COPY the plates clean and bright with vivid coloring and all imperfections insignificant. With plates that include comical scenes of horsemanship hunting soldiers and disastrous coach rides this attractively bound book brings together two separately published works by an artist Ray calls "the premier sporting illustrator of his time." The first work "Moments of Fancy and Whim" was originally published in two parts consisting of seven plates each. There are several different illustrations on every plate most of which use a play on words or a phrase especially one of the many uses of the word "fancy" to frame the scene. The illustrations lampoon familiar character types and aspects of English society--particularly those with an affinity for the equine--to wonderful comic effect. The second work here is composed of three plates each with four separate scenes accompanied by a line of verse from Byron's "Childe Harold" or "The Giaour." In this unexpected pairing Byron's lyric poetry is given an entirely new lowered context when interpreted through Alken's pen; for example the line "Tis Greece--but living Greece no more" is depicted as three men sitting down to a greasy dinner of roast duck. Henry Thomas Alken 1785-1851 was the son of a sporting artist. He received early training from his father and later studied under miniaturist J. T. Barker Beaumont. A talent for depicting horses and dogs led to a profitable career in sporting prints. As DNB relates "The fertility of Alken's pencil was amazing . . . . In all Alken's works there is a freedom of handling and a happy choice of subject which rendered them very popular in their day." The present works are both excellent examples of his signature style and are here in such marvelous condition that they can be fully appreciated for their wit spirit and vibrancy. Both are also quite rare on the market with "Moments" often showing up incomplete and "Byron" appearing only once in ABPC and RBH. Thomas M'Lean Repository of Wit and Humour unknown

ST20549cOxford: Printed at the University Press for Peacock Mansfield and Britton London ca. 1885. 146 x 80 mm. 5 3/4 x 3 1/8". 536 pp. IN A LOVELY 18TH CENTURY SILVER BINDING over contemporary brown morocco DONE IN THE FRENCH RÉGENCE STYLE combining piercing with repoussé ornamentation the covers with central cartouche depicting a scene from the life of Christ in repoussé that on the front cover showing the Baptism of Christ with two hallmarks at the upper left an "A" and a rooster that on the lower cover showing the Ascension this surrounded by a pierced frame of rocaille drawer handles vases of flowers swans a leafy fronds spine pierced with rocaille and flowers separating three allegorical putti ornaments representing Faith Hope and Charity two openwork rocaille clasps. Endpapers rather worn at fore edge isolated very faint foxing otherwise A FINE COPY the text clean and fresh and THE SILVER BINDING SPARKLING AND UNMARRED. This glittering binding is a lovely example of 18th century silverwork in nearly flawless condition. While we have been unable to identify the maker the binding is probably French. A silver binding on a 1686 copy of a Rotterdam "Speculum Poenitentiae" catalogued by Antiquariat Roo is identical to ours in size and design except for the content in the large central frames and is identified by them as French. They find a master's mark of "T. G" beneath the front scene not present on our binding. In any case the delicate symmetrical ornamentation featured on our binding is typical of French Régence decorative arts with scrolls studded with naturalistic embellishments that reward close inspection. Many charming details are hidden within the sea of volutes such as the swans stealing treats from overflowing baskets of fruit. The central scenes from the life of Christ come to life through meticulous execution as our silversmith has taken great care with the details: water trickles from John the Baptist's outstretched arm and voluminous curls of cloud frame Christ's Ascension. The later Book of Common Prayer the binding now contains is a testament to the binding's enduring appeal as a precious devotional object.
