1797rif. ST19344London: Printed by T. Gillet for Longman et al. 1797. 265 x 163 mm. 10 3/8 x 6 3/8". Two volumes. Contemporary green straight-grain morocco covers with double gilt fillet border raised bands gilt titling turn-ins with decorative gilt roll marbled endpapers all edge gilt inexpert older repairs to joints. EACH VOLUME WITH RICHLY DETAILED FORE-EDGE PAINTING that on volume I depicting the old Tabard Inn Southwark and that on volume II showing Furnival's Inn Holborn. Housed in a fleece-lined double-compartment slipcase. Title pages with engraved vignette. Front flyleaf of each volume with ink ownership inscription of Mary Erskine dated 1803 noting it was a wedding gift from her cousin Lord Wodehouse and with later ink presentation inscription to "Walter and Katherine" on their 13th wedding anniversary 17 February 1931 from "their mother Kate Goodrich." Spines faded to brown as usual with green morocco and with half a dozen minor abrasions joints somewhat worn front joint of vol. II with four-inch crack at head but the bindings entirely solid the contents clean and fresh with only insignificant imperfections and the fore-edge paintings very well-preserved. This is a charming pair of large fore-edge paintings depicting two historic London inns each full of detail and painted on text blocks that fan out beautifully with very little effort. The text here is a late 18th century edition of a controversial and short-lived periodical known as "The Guardian" spearheaded by writer and politician Richard Steele who also founded "The Tatler" and "The Spectator". "The Guardian" as DNB relates ran from 12 March to 1 October 1713 and "is chiefly remembered for the quality of the contributors on whom Steele drew including Edward Young George Berkeley Alexander Pope and of course Joseph Addison." The two inns depicted in the fore-edge paintings here also have literary credentials: the Tabard Inn in Southwark was chosen by Chaucer as the starting point for the "Canterbury Tales" and Furnival's Inn in Holborn will be known to Dickens enthusiasts as the place where he began writing "The Pickwick Papers." The original Tabard Inn burned down in the Great Fire but was immediately rebuilt and became a popular stopping point for stagecoaches as depicted in the present painting. The dirt road in front of the inn is dominated by a large covered wagon and team of horses with a pair of men gesturing in the foreground and others idling nearby; Furnival's Inn by contrast was an Inn of the Chancery and enjoyed much tidier surroundings: the streets in the fore-edge painting here are cobbled the ladies and gentlemen are well dressed and even the rubbish has been neatly piled to one side. Both paintings date from the late 19th century and are based on engravings found in "Old and New London" by George Walter Thornbury ca. 1880. Though unsigned they are extremely well done and offer wonderful views of London haunts from both sides of the Thames. Printed by T. Gillet for Longman et al. unknown

1805rif. ST19580London: Printed for F. C. and J. Rivington et al. 1805. 238 x 145 mm. 9 3/8 x 5 3/4". 10 volumes. Edited by George Steevens and Alexander Chalmers. EXTREMELY PRETTY CONTEMPORARY DEEP PURPLE STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO VERY ELABORATELY DECORATED IN GILT AND BLIND covers with frame featuring heavy gilt stippling and tooling spine compartments densely gilt gilt-rolled turn-ins leather hinges all edges gilt. EACH VOLUME WITH AN ATTRACTIVE FORE-EDGE PAINTING featuring scenic views of waterways bridges cottages and castles and one figurative scene. With frontispiece portrait engraved ornament pasted down on title page apparently to cover up the mention of the engravings which this set was evidently issued without. A Large Paper Copy. Jaggard p. 510; Lowndes IV 2264. Just a hint of wear to joints and extremities and this expertly refurbished a small gouge on rear board of volume I internally with occasional mild browning scattered foxing and stains but the bindings lustrous and glittering with gold the fore-edge paintings well preserved and the interiors clean and fresh. AN EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE COPY OF QUITE A SPECIAL ITEM. Enriched with learned essays and commentary this handsome printing of Steevens' acclaimed edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works comes in a lovely contemporary binding with later--but impressive--fore-edge paintings. Our set is the 10-volume version of Steevens printed on royal octavo paper a slightly less desirable nine-volume set on thinner octavo paper was also available. While the set was offered with plates the professionally printed and applied engraved ornaments covering the title page reference to engravings suggests that the publisher also sold sets without them auction records bear out this theory. The original owner may have chosen to save money on plates so he could splash out on the present richly gilt full morocco bindings that make an impressive appearance on the shelf. Then that owner or more likely a somewhat later one commissioned the paintings of the 10 fore edges. These are richly detailed crispy executed compositions mainly showing exterior scenes featuring castles or old city buildings. Although they do not necessarily have a clear connection with any individual play in any specific volume they do communicate the feeling of the period of Shakespeare's life. And most important they are skillfully done by an unusually deft painter. Steevens 1736-1800 had originally published his revision of Johnson's edition of Shakespeare in 1773 the revision being praised by Lowndes as combining "the native powers of Dr. Johnson with the activity sagacity and antiquarian learning of . . . Steevens." Volume I contains prefaces by Pope Johnson and Chalmers a sketch of Shakespeare's life by Chalmers Shakespeare's will and a history of the stage by Malone. Considered in all its aspects--as an esteemed edition of the bard's works as a gloriously decorated set on the shelf and as 10 expert fore-edge paintings--this item has much to recommend it.
