First Edition. The Final Book in the Bastable Family Adventure Series NESBIT, Edith. Oswald Bastable and Others. Illustrated by Charles Brock and H.R. Millar. London: WellsGardner, Darton & Co., Ltd., [1905]. First edition of the final book in Nesbit's much-loved Bastable family cycle., First state with number on page 96 transposed as 69. Octavo (8 x 5 5/8 inches; 203 x 143 mm.). x, 369, [1, blank] pp. [advertisements 9+1 blank]. Frontispiece and vignette title-page included in pagination. Twenty photogravure plates and one line drawing in the text on p. 103. Publisher's maroon cloth, front cover and spine pictorially decorated and lettered in gilt, neat ink inscription on front paste-down, spine faded. A very good copy. This concluding volume finds Oswald Bastable and his siblings once again plotting schemes and adventures in their quest for fortune and glory. Like its predecessors (The Story of the Treasure Seekers, 1899, and The Wouldbegoods, 1901), the tale is narrated in Oswald's spirited first-person voice, with a mixture of comedy, mischief, and moral lessons. The Bastable stories were enormously influential on later children's literature, shaping the voice and structure of C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia and Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons. Nesbit's blend of realism, imagination, and anarchic humor helped establish the modern adventure story for children, and her Bastable books remain central to her enduring reputation.…

Charles Dickens' Christmas Books Illustrated by Charles Edmund Brock DICKENS, Charles. BROCK, C.E., illustrator. Christmas Books. With Illustrations by C.E. Brock. London: J.M. Dent, 1905-1909. Five small octavo volumes (7 x 4 1/2 inches; 178 x 114 mm.). With a total of forty color plates and forty-eight illustrations in the text by Charles Edmund Brock. Full vellum, covers and spine elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, others uncut. Boards slightly splayed, otherwise a fine set. Bookplate of Ernest Gould Williams on front paste-down of first volume. The titles: A Christmas Carol The Haunted Man The Battle of Life The Cricket on the Hearth The Chimes Following the overwhelming success of A Christmas Carol in 1843, Dickens embarked upon the Christmas Books project, seeking to marshal "the Carol philosophy . in order to strike a sledgehammer blow" for England's lower classes. He continued publishing the Christmas Books throughout the 40s, and the stories became mainstays of Dickens's public reading tours of the 1850s and 1860s. C[harles]. E[dmund]. Brock (1870-1938) was a widely published English line artist and book illustrator who earned his first book commission at age twenty. He became a very successful illustrator, best known for his line work, initially in the tradition of Hugh Thomson, but he was also a skilled colorist. Brock's work varied with the sort of story he was illustrating, some of it refined and described as "sensitive to the delicate, teacup-and-saucer primness and feminine outlook of the early Victorian novelists," while other work was "appreciative of the healthy, boisterous, thoroughly English characters," i.e. soldiers, rustics, and "horsey types." Other illustrations were grotesqueries drawn to amuse children looking at or reading storybooks.…

Condición: Fine. Second edition. Two volumes bound in one, small octavo (6 15/16 x 4 1/16 inches; 177 x 103 mm.). xxii, 294, [1, imprint], [1, blank];, xii, 254, [1, imprint], [1, blank] pp. Two engraved frontispieces and one hundred and sixty-two black & white illustrations, including decorative head and tailpieces, all by Charles E. Brock. Bound ca. 1906 in a fine pastel "vellucent" binding by Cedric Chivers (stamp-signed in gilt on rear lower turn-in), with a delicately hand-painted 'Art Nouveau' floral design. This binding is No. LXXXV on page 34 of the Cedric Chivers catalog "Books in Beautiful Bindings." The front cover with three red flowers and a green vine design enclosing the title "The Essays And The Last Essays of Elia. Charles Lamb". Lower cover with a similar design but with just one red flower. Smooth spine similarly decorated and lettered in watercolor and gilt, gilt ruled turn-ins, mottled pale-green liners and end-papers, all edges gilt. Neat ink inscription dated "Xmas 1906" on front blank. A very fine example housed in the original fleece-lined, green cloth slipcase (missing the movable spine panel). Patented in 1898, Chivers's "vellucent" bindings departed from traditional methods of creating hand-painted vellum bindings. The usual approach was to merely bind a book in vellum and then paint on a design, but this is prone to rubbing and flaking and such examples are often now found chipped and deteriorated. In the 18th century Chivers's great predecessor, Edwards of Halifax, painted in reverse on the underside of translucent vellum, thereby providing a layer of protection for the design. His technique was not widely copied and almost vanished with his death, and it was not until the 1890s that Chivers developed his own similar method for protecting the design underneath the vellum itself - the backing sheet of the vellum was painted, which was then covered in vellum which had been shaved to transparency. The vellum was then tooled in gilt, on occasion incorporating additional mother-of-pearl and onlays. The books which Chivers thus bound have always been a favorite of collectors, and usually still present well, the vellum having served its purpose of protecting the design for many decades, as Chivers intended. Chivers was also known to have employed a great many craftswomen at his bindery in Portway: "forty women for folding, sewing, mending, and collating work, and in addition, five more women worked in a separate department, to design, illuminate, and colour vellum for book decoration, and to work on embossed leather. These five were Dorothy Carleton Smyth, Alice Shepherd, Miss J.D. Dunn, Muriel Taylor, and Agatha Gales" (Tidcombe). This book brings together Charles Lamb's Essays of Elia (first published in 1823) with the subsequent volume Last Essays of Elia (issues in 1833). The accessible and conversational essays were published under the pseudonym Elia, inspired by an Italian man that Lamb had known at the South Sea House, and had appeared serially in The London Magazine between 1820 and 1825. Despite his struggles with mental illness, Charles Lamb (1775-1834) would be celebrated for his literary contributions, producing a range of material from essays to poems. Lamb belonged to an active literary circle which included Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. Fine.…

Condición: Near Fine. Fifth edition. Two volumes bound in one, small octavo (180 x 105 mm.). xxii, 294, [1, imprint], [1, blank];, xii, 254, [1, imprint], [1, blank] pp. Two engraved frontispieces and one hundred and sixty-two black & white illustrations, including decorative head and tailpieces, all by Charles E. Brock. Bound ca. 1905 by Cedric Chivers (stamp-signed in gilt on rear lower turn-in). Bound in handsome green morocco with decorative gilt floral patterns on the front board encircling a "vellucent" title label. Spine with gilt titles and art nouveau floral pattern. All edges gilt, pale green end papers. Spine toned, previous owner's gift inscription on the first blank, otherwise a fine copy overall.
