Forman 165; LeMire A80.02. Spines evenly darkened to crimson, a handful of small stains in the text, but A BEAUTIFUL SET, nearly pristine internally, in still gleaming bindings. This first printing of Morris' fantasy novel was very handsomely bound by an esteemed Florentine workshop currently in its 170th year. Pietro Giannini (1811-82) founded his business in 1856 as a stationery store with a sideline in bookbinding. In 1878, he was joined by his son, Giulio (1853-1931), who chose to concentrate exclusively on fine bindings and other luxury leather goods, a move that transformed the business. When his son Guido Giannini Sr. (1877-1956) joined the firm in the 1890s, he commissioned a large number of bronze stamps that would allow the Gianninis to create bindings tooled in a wide range of historical styles. Some of the stamps have been put to fine use on the covers here. According to the firm's website, by the late 19th century, Florence had a substantial community of wealthy and cultured English expatriates who appreciated fine craftsmanship; this provided Giulio with "a large and faithful clientele." It seems likely that it was one of these expats who had this English novel bound by an Italian master. Today, the fifth and sixth generation of Giannini family binders operate the Giulio Giannini e Figlio in its original location in Piazza Pitti. The present printing of "Well at World's End" is considered by bibliographers the true first edition. Battling his way through the bibliographical weeds, Sparling indicates that the production of our trade edition was actually completed before the limited Kelmscott edition, even though the latter was issued first. He says, "The ordinary edition was . . . being printed for Longmans at the Chiswick Press, and the Kelmscott Press edition was set up from the sheets of this, which was ready for publication in 1894, though not actually published until October 1896, being held back in order that the Kelmscott Press edition might be the first" to appear.
