1926ref. 8581London: Duckworth 1926. Thick octavo 22 x 15 cm. 273 1 pages. Illustrated with black & white plates. Publisher's advertisement at rear. FIRST EDITION; a U.S. edition was issued the following year by Maynard Small of New York. The author conceived this work as a followup to his massive three volume History of the Wine Trade in England which covered the wine trade from the Roman Invasion to the end of the Seventeenth Century. The "bottlescrew" of the title was a feature of the 18th Century born out of necessity as the use of cork stoppers spreads starting in the late 17th Century. This change in containment changes the way wine was stored aged sold and drunk. Publisher's orange cloth titled in black on the spine and on the front panel Unzelmann indicates both a magenta cloth and an orange cloth with no priority. A fair amount of foxing throughout otherwise very good. With the bookplate of Philip Wallace Nash member of the New York Stock Exchange and of the Wine & Food Society.

2010ref. 129219New Castle Delaware Pinner and London England: Oak Knoll Press The Private Libraries Association The British Library 2010. Hardcover dust jacket. 7.25 x 10.75 inches. Hardcover dust jacket. 224 pages. The 1860s are considered the "Golden Age" of illustrated periodicals a time when the "knockabout" humor of the 1840s which was dominated by illustrators such as Cruikshank Doyle and Phiz gave way to a more considered style grounded in serious artistic principles allowing for deeper expression and emotion in artistic output. The first book of its kind Illustrated Periodicals of the 1860s focuses extensively on the illustrated magazine as a distinct form. Illustrated Periodicals provides a new and informative approach to the study of "sixties" periodicals revealing the previously unstudied area of the complex interrelationships between the various parties involved in the production of these magazines: publishers editors artists engravers and authors. The book considers the effects of these relationships on creative output both artistic and literary and in so doing provides a detailed historical reconstruction of the essential character of the periodicals of that era. The book includes over 120 reproductions of engravings and preparatory drawings almost all of them original size. Additionally the text contains two appendices; the first includes a reflection of the work that goes into collecting and researching these periodicals. The second lists the key illustrators engravers publishers editors as well as magazines mentioned throughout the text each including a brief description. This work is an informative and colorful choice for those interested in the history of periodicals the production of magazines and art.
