Buenos Aires: Guillermo Kraft for The Limited Editions Club, 1943. No. 108 OF 1500 COPIES, SIGNED BY THE DESIGNER AND ILLUSTRATOR. 282 x 210 mm. (11 1/8 x 8 1/4"). xiv, [2], 307, [1] pp., [1] leaf (colophon and signatures). Original smooth animal hide on top third of binding and rough hide (retaining the hair) on the bottom, all whip-stitched with rawhide, sueded endpapers. Lacking the dust wrapper and slipcase. With 32 full-page illustrations by Raul Rosarivo. ◆Smooth leather a little browned around spine, hair rubbed to skin in several places, hinge split after front free endpapers, but the binding still very sturdy and the contents clean and bright. This is certainly one of the more unusual bindings done for The Limited Editions Club, and rather appropriate for the memoir of naturalist William Henry Hudson. Born to American parents in Argentina, Hudson (1841-1922) primarily studied birds and was an early proponent of the so-called "back-to-the-land" movement of the '20s and '30s. The present… Leer más

This is the handsomely bound Robert Hoe copy of a celebrated three-decker centering on a political election during the Reform Bill controversies of the 1830s.

Descripción:
This is a representative sampling of the Nonesuch Press, which produced a long string of substantial books with content of considerable importance and physical features showing significant aesthetic achievement. The press was founded in 1923 by typographer and book designer Francis Meynell (1891-1975) with the help of his friend David Garnett and his future wife, Vera Mendel. Meynell designed his books on a small Albion hand press, but had them printed commercially in order to keep the price of well-designed books made of quality materials within the means of readers and collectors who could not afford most private press editions. The Press produced a substantial corpus of fine printing, although the books were not produced exclusively to be collectible objects. As the "Prospectus of the Nonesuch Editions" says, "The Book Public may be divided into three parts. The Libraries cater for the section of it which reads books without wishing to possess them. A number of 'toy' presses cater for collectors… Leer más

London: John Nimmo, 1897. 212 x 141 mm. (8 1/4 x 5 1/2"). x, [2], 323 pp. VERY PRETTY HAZEL BROWN MOROCCO, GILT IN AN ARTS & CRAFTS DESIGN featuring rows of roses connected diagonally by leafy branches on the covers, raised bands, spine panels with central diamond shape formed by leaves and branches, turn-ins with leafy sprigs along sides, roses at corners, marbled rose-colored endpapers, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. With frontispiece portrait of Morris and two black & white photogravure plates of his church and rectory. ◆Spine evenly sunned to a pleasing honey brown, flyleaves a bit foxed, but a fine copy--clean and smooth internally, in a binding glistening with gold. This is an especially animated and appealing example of Arts & Crafts-style hand bookbinding, here covering a son's fond reminiscences of his father, a clergyman best known for his efforts to protect British birds. Frances Orpen Morris (1810-93) showed a great interest in the natural world--particularly birds and… Leer más
