1961rif. 15330East Grinstead Sussex England: New Knowledge Books 1961. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. First of this edition 1961. A beautiful copy of this edition very good in good illustrated dust jacket with minor chipping. First 3 stanzas in both Norwegian and English. This edition contains the full poem the music of the ancient Norwegian meolodies; 13 full colour plates tipped in from water colour paintings by Eleanor C. Merry. Also notes on the music and the singing of the "Dream Song" by Benedict Wood. The Dream Song of Olaf Asteson is a folksong which only came to light in 1850 when a clergyman called Landstad heard it in a lonely valley of Telemark Norway. No one knows how long it has existed but it's an epic narrative telling the story of a young man who slept for twelve nights in the depths of winter then awoke to share the wondrous sights he had seen. Steiner noted that it was known to seers that vision penetrates most deeply during this period of the Thirteen Hold Nights. New Knowledge Books hardcover

1874rif. 54483New York: Stroefer and Kirchner 1874. First English edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Folio. 148 1pp. Brown-burgundy illustrated cloth boards over leather spine. The front cover and spine are lavishly tooled and ruled in gilt with landscape imagery and period floral designs. Glossy textured endpapers. This is the English version of the original German work Rhododendron: Bilder aus den Schweizer Alpen Pictures from the Swiss Alps first published in 1872. The text of the original work was written by German political activist writer and publisher Hermann Alexander von Berlepsch 1813-1883. Here the English text is written by British geologist and mountaineer Thomas George Bonney 1833-1923 who doesn't so much translate from the original German text but rather uses it solely for reference. As stated in the preface Bonney mainly used his own notes and recollections from his experiences in these locations as the basis to create a mostly original text. Like the German edition accompanying and inspiring the text are a total 24 plates of mounted albumen photographs reproducing original paintings of various locations and landscapes of the Swiss Alps by Gustav Paul Closs 1840 - 1870 and Otto Frölicher 1840-1890. Also included are numerous smaller in-text engraved images including historiated initials and tailpieces by artist Gustave Roux 1828-1885. Table of contents at the back.

The fresh richly painted scene here shows the Place de la Pucelle in Rouen with the fountain of Joan of Arc featured prominently in the foreground. This view inspired works from a number of artists and writers such as watercolorist Samuel Prout and American poet Maria White Lowell whose poem "Rouen Place de la Pucelle" was published ca. 1858. Visual records like this of the square and fountain are historically important because they were destroyed in the Red Week bombings of 1944.

Corners a bit bumped edges and joints with a little rubbing but this well disguised with dye spine very slightly sunned and dried.

1843rif. ST20616London: Tilt and Bogue 1843. 207 x 135 mm. 8 1/8 x 5 5/8". Two volumes. With a memoir and critical remarks by James Montgomery. Pleasing contemporary burgundy pebble-grain morocco gilt covers with graceful frame of cresting roll accented with lancets large lyre centerpiece with leafy flourishes and small birds raised bands spine compartments densely gilt gilt lettering gilt turn-ins all edges gilt. 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.
