Hardcover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. 1717 ~ THE FAMOUS STURT ENGRAVED BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER IN A SOMBRE BINDING London: Engraven and printed by the permission of Mr. John Baskett printer to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty 1717. Sold by John Sturt engraven Golden-Lion-Court in Aldersgate Street 1717. Approximately 22cm x 12.2cm. pp xxii,166,[2]. Printed in black, ruled in red. Engraved throughout, in an extra-ordinary small italic script, and many finely executed illustrations, engraved capitals, head and tail pieces, and illustrated borders. Volvolle present to page V, though it is detached where it has worn the paper beneath. With a final advertisement leaf, and list of subscribers to the prelims. Sometime suffered from coming into contact with water, with resulting marks to prelims and to final leaves, and to a less extent within the body of the book. Pages 70 and 71 somewhat browned, where stitching has become loose and spine has cracked. IN A CONTEMPORARY SOMBRE BINDING: black calf, all edges gilt, with blind tooling on spine, and both panels, slightly rubbed to head and foot, spine cracked, but intact, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. In this printing, there are cherubs to the middle of each border on Page V, and at the head of the leaf is the Roman numeral 11. To the flyleaf is written in a large but neat contemporary hand, The gift of Mr William Matthew to his Grandson, John Schuldham, January 1st 1760, later signature to top, James Backhorn. To the opposite leaf, are notes of the marriage of William C Matthew and Eliz. Evans, October 29th, 1730, and a note of their six children in turn. A remarkable artefact: Sturt took three years to demonstrate his consummate craft, engraving a separate silver plate for each plate, the lettering being so small often as to need a magnifying glass to read it. It is notable not only for its illustrations, but also the frontispiece of King George, which is engraved in tiny letters that when enlarged spell out prayers, including the Lord's Prayer. A masterpiece of the art. The book too, has an interesting binding: sombre bindings were held to be more appropriate for discrete worship after the rise of puritanism in the seventeenth century, and this custom continued into the eighteenth. Though the book has seen some wear during its life, the binding is intact, with the blind-tooled decoration clear. The marbled endpapers, and the gilt edges, as well as the red rules and intricate text contrast with the discrete binding to give a sense of wealth and opulence. It must have been a noble gift in its time: the Matthew and Schuldham family if not aristocracy, would have been certainly well-off gentry to have obtained and preserved this work over the generations.…

The portrait frontispiece of King George has inscribed on it, in characters so minute as to be legible only with a magnifying glass, the Creed, the Lord's prayer, the Commandments, the prayer for the royal family, and the twenty-first psalm. After the list of subscribers is found the following meant for the binder: 'The Binders are desired not to beat these Books, it doing great Damage to all Engrav'd Printing'.

He specialized in miniature work, and it was said that he could engrave the creed on a silver penny, a claim amply reinforced by his best-known works: engraved versions of the Book of Common Prayer and of Laurence Howell's The Orthodox Communicant, published respectively by subscription in 1717 and 1721' (ODNB).
