rif. 8653218. CHINESE PITH PAINTINGS. ALBUM OF 30 FISH ON 12 SHEETS. Album of 12 sheets of pith approximately 19 x 26 cm each mounted onto pages within covers approx. 24.7 x 34.3 cm covered in brocade with ties. A wonderful mid-19th century example of this realistic genre which uses the three dimensionality afforded by the surface of the inner plant pith of the Tetrapanax papyriferum a ginseng relative that grow to the size of a small tree shaved as here into thin sheets and painted with opaque colors. The fish sparkle and the colors glow the fish accuraely depicted in form and color. Pith by its very nature is extremely fragile and larger sheets such as those employed here even more than usually frangible. Thus the completeness of the sheets with almost no lost pigmeted sections is most unusual. The covers are a bit worn though as usual the paintings show occasional cracking and repair but a worthy example of its kind. unknown

WITH LOVELY FORE-EDGE PAINTINGS BY THE "DOVER PAINTER" one of Milton's cottage at Chalfont and the other of St. Giles Church Cripplegate. With decorative engraved initials and 95 engraved vignettes after drawings by William Harvey. Weber "Annotated Dictionary of Fore-edge Painting Artists & Binders" pp. 98-103. Muir "Victorian Illustrated Books" p. 28. Spines gently and evenly sunned joints and extremities a little rubbed one margin with faint paint trail from fore-edge painter's brush other trivial imperfections but A VERY APPEALING COPY internally clean and fresh in solid bindings with bright gilt and the fore-edge paintings especially well preserved. This copy of Milton's collected poems is very attractively illustrated inside and out with an extremely skillful painting by a famous artist adorning each of the fore edges. Designed by William Harvey 1796-1866 who Muir tells us was "the longest lived and most important of Bewick's pupils" the engravings here range from charming figural initials to writhing residents of Hell in their smoky abyss to gentle-faced angels bathed in beams of light. The fore-edge paintings are recognizable as the work of the so-called "Dover Painter" the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore edges in the 1920s and 1930s for the famous London bookseller Marks & Company. These two depict Milton's cottage and his final resting place St. Giles' Church in London. The cottage is depicted in an idyllic scene of Milton's time with aproned peasants milling about the ivy-covered building under the shade of the trees that frame the scene. The other painting shows a lively urban street: the church's venerable structure is flanked by bustling shops visited by gentlemen with fashionable canes while the smoke from the chimneys trails upward into the cloudy sky. These clouds and the trees surrounding the cottage are particularly demonstrative of our artist's distinctive style of applying dabs of paint a technique that almost suggests a quasi-pointillism. Taken together the substantial content lovely contemporary red morocco bindings and finely executed and well-preserved fore-edge paintings combine to make up a set of considerably seductive appeal.
