Sobre este artículo
Seeley and Co./ Macmillan and Co, London / New York, 1895 79 printed pages. Monochrome frontispiece, 3 monochrome tissue-guarded plates, 23 monochrome illustrations. Marbled endpapers. Top edge gilt. Slight foxing on recto of frontispiece. 19 x 27 cm. Full reversed calf gilt (binding with the inner side of the skin facing outward). Spine with gilt lettering. Upper cover with gilt lettering within an Art Nouveau influenced gilt design of fruit, flowers and a songbird. In very good condition. "William Quiller Orchardson was an outstanding narrative painter, who deftly used body language and expression, as well as descriptive detail, to communicate feelings and mood. He was also a gifted portraitist. As a mature student of the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, he joined other talented students of Robert Scott Lauder, with whom he formed life-long and mutually inspiring friendships. In 1862 he moved to London where he shared a house and studio with fellow student John Pettie. His large, meticulous paintings of historical and contemporary subjects were much admired. In 1877 he was elected a Royal Academician and in 1907 knighted." (National Gallery Scotland). This work is commonly found in a red cloth binding- this is the only example I have located with a reversed calf variant binding & it is in near fine condition (uncommon for this type of binding 125 years old).. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine.

Sobre Camden Lock Books, ABA, IOBA.
My online bookselling is Camden Lock books. I own Camden Lock Books & list books that are uncommon, in demand and may be hard to find.
My book expertise came with four years as Chairman of London P.B.F.A. , many more years of exhibiting at monthly London Rare Book Fairs & owning my own bookshops continuously since 1984.
Every book here was valued by the person who first bought it and will be just as prized by the person who buys it now from my shopping website.
I am an accredited professional & a full member of the ABA, ILAB and the IOBA, "Setting the standard. The books you want...from booksellers you can trust".
You can meet me on my stand at Firsts 2024, London's Rare Book Fair, at the Saatchi Gallery, London SW3 4RY, 16-19 May 2024.
I also am joint owner of Burley Fisher Books , an independent bookshop offering new and secondhand books.
