With Notes and IllustrationsAn important and visually striking Victorian edition of the Book of Common Prayer published by John Murray in 1850 and lavishly decorated by the celebrated architect and designer Owen Jones.The 1850 issue reproduces the celebrated design first published by Murray in 1845 and is one of the notable achievements of early Victorian colour printing. The text is richly ornamented throughout with coloured borders initials and vignettes together with eight chromolithographic general and divisional title-pages. The illustrations include designs and adaptations after Old Masters and contemporary artists with material drawn by George Scharf and engraved by Samuel Williams. Printed by Vizetelly Brothers & Co.Of particular interest is the strong Brunel-family provenance. The volume bears the engraved bookplate of Isambard Brunel 18371902 eldest son of the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel together with an apparent ownership signature I. Brunel to the front endpaper. A further contemporary inscription records:Isambard Brunel / Left him by / Sarah Fox Wilder / October 31st / 1871.Sarah Fox Wilder née Hawes 18301871 was the daughter of Sophia Macnamara Hawes née Brunel sister of Isambard Kingdom Brunel making Sarah I.K. Brunel's niece and a first cousin of Isambard Brunel 18371902.Also mounted at the front is an autograph letter signed E. Woodfall dated 25 January 1862 and addressed to Mrs Wilder. An early manuscript note identifies the writer as the daughter of the printer of the Letters of Junius. This attribution is consistent with Elizabeth Woodfall 17681862 daughter of Henry Sampson Woodfall the celebrated printer associated with Junius who lived for many years at Dean's Yard Westminster. The letter refers to her willingness to write her name in Mrs Wilder's Prayer Book. No Elizabeth Woodfall inscription has been located in the present volume and the letter is therefore offered as associated Wilder-family provenance rather than as proof that it refers specifically to this copy.The volume retains its highly decorative original-style full calf binding with deeply embossed ecclesiastical ornament and central cross motifs. The binder's ticket reads BOUND BY EDMONDS & REMNANTS. This London firm also known as Remnant & Edmonds was particularly associated with elaborate mechanically embossed Victorian bindings.CONDITION COLLATION & COPY NOTESA visually impressive and historically interesting association copy in its elaborate embossed calf binding by Edmonds & Remnants.Binding rubbed and scuffed overall with significant surface wear and areas of leather loss at the extremities corners and joints consistent with age and use. Spine with six raised bands and gilt-lettered title label. The deeply embossed ecclesiastical decoration to both boards remains strong and clearly defined.Front inner hinge structurally weak/broken with sewing structure - For full description please contact the seller John Murray hardcover

1979283 pages. Index, references, appendices, bibliography. Black and white photographic plates. Map endpapers. "The 'miracle' of Dunkirk exercised such a grip upon the public imagination that the fate of the 200,000 British troops left behind after the evacuation has been almost totally ignored. In relating the hitherto untold story of what happened to that forgotten army Major Karslake suggests that there were many people who thought it better that the story should remain untold. The extraordinary situation whereby there was no British overall commander, each British formation coming under a separate French command, the fantastic but nonetheless seriously considered idea of the Breton Redoubt, and the loss of a vast and, at that time, irreplaceable quantity of stores are among the most pertinent issues which Major Karslake describes and discusses." - from dust jacket. Usual library markings. Above-average wear. Lean to spine. Still a worthy reading copy. Book
