1888ref. 88405Fall River: Earl & Bamford / George E. Bamford 1888-1904. Six original biennial issues in original wrappers comprising the 11th 12th 14th 15th 16th and 20th editions. Issue for 1888 in glazed printed wrappers 13cm x 8.5cm; remaining issues in uncoated wrappers 14.5cm x 8cm; contents range from 56pp to 72pp. A few with slight discoloration and/or wear to wrappers but all complete sound and unmarked; Very Good overall. A collection of six successive issues of this biennial prospectus and directory for the mill city of Fall River Massachusetts intended to advertise the prospects for residency and industry in what was at the time the fastest-growing industrial city in New England known particularly for its output of printed cotton cloth. Each issue includes an updated list of operating textile mills together with a wealth of statistical data including annual yardage produced number of workers employed city population etc. Though clearly written from the manufacturers' perspective these small publications taken together provide valuable background for understanding the social milieu of a late-19th century mill town painting a clear picture of the city's rapid growth from 1.8 million spindles in 1888 to nearly 4 million in 1910 and the enormous wealth produced for mill owners during this period from $18M in capital stock to $34M in the same period - wealth that most certainly did not filter down to a workforce comprised mainly of immigrant millworkers many of whom were children under the age of twelve.

Shelley's poem The Sensitive Plant is a beautiful and tragic poem commemorating the brevity of life and immortality of cyclical nature. Written after death of his son while Percy and Mary Shelley struggled with their grief in Pisa the poem consists of four stanzas with three sections charting the change of seasons. It is set in a garden bursting with blooms but highlights the sensitive plant-a mimosa-with its humble leafy foliage. Human will is nothing in the face of the impartial power of nature and time. First published in Prometheus Unbound and Other Poems 1820 here it has been reproduced with a delicate binding to match its subject. "For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower; Radiance and odour are not its dower; It loves even like Love its deep heart is full It desires what it has not the Beautiful!"

A fine set. This publication evidences how a writer's work is never done. First published as a humorous column in Fun magazine in 1876 Gilbert collected fifty of his favorite poems for the book Fifty "Bab" Ballads:Much Sound and Little Sense it contained one poem collected for the first time titled "Etiquette" and excluded 25 previously published poems. As Gilbert explained: "The period during which they were written extended over some three or four years; many however were composed hastily and under the discomforting necessity of having to turn out a quantity of lively verse by a certain day in every week. As it seemed to me and to others that the volumes were disfigured by the presence of these hastily written impostors I thought it better to withdraw from both volumes such Ballads as seemed to show evidence of carelessness or undue haste and to publish the remainder in the compact form under which they are now presented to the reader" Gilbert. However "Gilbert's readers were not happy with the loss and in 1882 Gilbert published all of the poems that had appeared in either The "Bab" Ballads or More "Bab" Ballads once again excluding "Etiquette." Some twentieth-century editions of More "Bab" Ballads include "Etiquette" Ellis. The poems range from satire to absurdist texts and will surely entertain all who read them.

Structured as a dialogue between a fisherman huntsman and fowler the book is a celebration of the natural world and the thrills of fishing as a pastime. The two exquisite original watercolors on calf elegantly reproduce at the front "Come now bait your hook again and lay it into the water for it rains again" Compleat Angler Fourth Day and at the rear "Marry God requite you sir and we'll eat it cheerfully" Compleat Angler Third Day. Helen Riviere Haywood 1908-1995 was an English painter children's book illustrator and writer best known for her foredge paintings. She came from a book-binding family: Haywood was the granddaughter Robert Riviere founder of the great bindery which executed this lovely binding and her uncle who also worked for the firm introduced her to foredge and double foredge painting. Between the 1930s-1970s she completed multiple commissions for Inman's Books a New York City based antiquarian book dealer. From her intertest in science anthropology and naturalism Haywood developed a keen attention to the world's natural elements; this talent for observation and specificity found its way into her artwork.

1906ref. 6420London: Macmillan 1906. Fifth edition. Fine. Later issue. A Fine copy. Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 /14 inches; 197 x 133 mm. iv 1-112 pp. Bound ca. 1906 by Riviére for Hatchards stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in. Full purple morocco covers paneled in gilt front cover elaborately decorated in gilt in an 'art nouveau' style with fifty-six tiny inlaid red morocco circles rear cover with four tiny inlaid red morocco circles spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt board edges and turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Fitzgerald attributed the original work to the famed astronomer and mathematician Omar Khayyum and this collection of quatrains rapidly became a favored text of the Pre-Raphaelites. "Like the Odyssey or the Vita Nuova it was once the most widely known and quoted work of Victorian poetry in the world" and its place in Western culture at the time was secured by Fitzgerald's "epigrammatic sophisticated often mordant verses that display Fitzgerald's adroitness in handling this stanza form" Warner. Yet with rise of Modernism the Rubaiyat fell out of style for a time its lush and romantic orientalism considered out of step with the concerns of those who were living through a devastating World War. But the beautiful surviving copies in exceptional vellum silk and leather alongside recently released critical editions have helped draw attention back to the Rubaiyat's beauty and its role in inspiring so many monumental pieces of Victorian art and literature. This fifth edition of Fitzgerald's text published posthumously contained some changes from the fourth and was based on his manuscript notations. Fine. Macmillan unknown books

"The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. A similar binding but without the quotations on the borders of both covers was sold in the Chevalier sale at Christie's New York Friday November 9th 1990 lot 63; it had been previously sold to Paul Chevalier by David Brass and then later to another private collector. Loosely inserted in the Chevalier copy was a pencilled note identified by a second description as being in the hand of George Napier an Edinburgh collector who commissioned a number of bindings. Napier explains his purchase of the book from Rivière in 1932 and that he commissioned the special border now decorating the book. He adds that "George" at Rivière's explained that the chalice and serpent motif was designed by Alberto Sangorski brother of George Sangorski the binder and concludes with the mention of the "Great Omar" which sank with the Titanic.
