rif. 24035Ca. 143 x 96 mm. Minor creasing to upper right corner; signature and inscription slightly smudged but legible. Dusolina Giannini "made her operatic début at Hamburg as Aida in 1925. Subsequent engagements took her to Berlin Vienna and Covent Garden as well as to Salzburg 1934-6 where she sang Donna Anna under Walter and Alice Ford under Toscanini. In 1938 she created the part of Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter an opera by her brother Vittorio Giannini. Her career at the Metropolitan began with Aida in 1936 and lasted until 1941 during which period she also played Donna Anna Santuzza and Tosca. After appearing in Chicago 1938-42 and San Francisco 1939-43 she took part in the first season of New York City Opera 1943 as Tosca at the opening and then Carmen and Santuzza. She retired some 20 years later and devoted herself to teaching. Giannini's voice was a true dramatic soprano backed by strong temperament and impeccable musicianship as revealed by her recordings notably her Aida. She was also a noted concert singer."

Forman 165; LeMire A80.02. Spines evenly darkened to crimson a handful of small stains in the text but A BEAUTIFUL SET nearly pristine internally in still gleaming bindings. This first printing of Morris' fantasy novel was very handsomely bound by an esteemed Florentine workshop currently in its 170th year. Pietro Giannini 1811-82 founded his business in 1856 as a stationery store with a sideline in bookbinding. In 1878 he was joined by his son Giulio 1853-1931 who chose to concentrate exclusively on fine bindings and other luxury leather goods a move that transformed the business. When his son Guido Giannini Sr. 1877-1956 joined the firm in the 1890s he commissioned a large number of bronze stamps that would allow the Gianninis to create bindings tooled in a wide range of historical styles. Some of the stamps have been put to fine use on the covers here. According to the firm's website by the late 19th century Florence had a substantial community of wealthy and cultured English expatriates who appreciated fine craftsmanship; this provided Giulio with "a large and faithful clientele." It seems likely that it was one of these expats who had this English novel bound by an Italian master. Today the fifth and sixth generation of Giannini family binders operate the Giulio Giannini e Figlio in its original location in Piazza Pitti. The present printing of "Well at World's End" is considered by bibliographers the true first edition. Battling his way through the bibliographical weeds Sparling indicates that the production of our trade edition was actually completed before the limited Kelmscott edition even though the latter was issued first. He says "The ordinary edition was . . . being printed for Longmans at the Chiswick Press and the Kelmscott Press edition was set up from the sheets of this which was ready for publication in 1894 though not actually published until October 1896 being held back in order that the Kelmscott Press edition might be the first" to appear.
