Cloth, 4to, vii, 424 pp. 517 entries. From the blurb: "The books illustrated by coloured plates and published in England between the years 1790 and 1860 are some of the most beautiful of their kind that the world has ever seen. The names, as artists or publishers, of Rudolph Ackermann, the Maltons, the Daniels, Westall, the Alkens, Pyne, the Cruikshanks, Boydell and Joseph Harrington will be a reminder of the riches, in lithography, aquatint and hand-colouring, to be found in the illustrated books of this short period. The late Mr R. V Tooley has here made a comprehensive collation of all these books, excluding those on Botany and Ornithology. The famous works, such as Ackermann's Repository and Microcosm of London, Boydell's Thames and Pyne's Royal Residencies, are naturally described in full, and particular notice is taken of the points and variations in different issues. Equal care has been given to the collation of more obscure and inexpensive books: Egerton's Fashionable Bores, Gell's Views in Barbary, Edwards's Cynographia Britannica and D'Oyly's Tom Raw, the Griffin may be taken as typical of the less familiar works whose inclusion makes Mr Tooley's book complete. Mr Tooley indeed enjoyed every advantage in compiling the book. As a leading London antiquarian bookseller he had the opportunity of handling personally almost all the coloured plate books about which he writes, sometimes as many as sixty or seventy different copies of a single work. To collectors of coloured plate books, and in particular to all dealers in old and rare books, Mr Tooley's definitive bibliography and collations represent a necessary standard work." Name and date on front free endpaper, spine-ends bumped and a trifle worn, otherwise Near Very Good in slightly creased, chipped and price-clipped dustwrapper. …

Cloth, 4to, 25 cm, xv, 250 pp, ills. From the blurb: "All of Charles Ramsden's books (which include French Bookbinders 1789-1848 and London Bookbinders 1780-1840) are regarded as authoritative. Bookbinders of the United Kingdom (Outside London) 1780-1840 follows the others in its concise presentation of information on bookbinders working in centres as important as Edinburgh, Dublin, York, Newcastle, Cambridge, Oxford or Bristol, as well as many smaller county towns. Arranged in three parts to cover England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, each section covers the principal directories consulted, a list of localities and binders working in the region, an alphabetical list of binders, including full addresses (if more than one), and information on business relations, apprenticeships, influences, and other matters of interest The author is meticulous in his evaluation of the degree of authority residing in his various source materials. The introduction includes an assessment of the importance of provincial bookbinders, degrees of binding activity, an analysis of the structure of the profession during the period, and the problems encountered with directories. The 16 illustrations include bindings by Bailey, Beardsall, Dodge, Mackenzie, Ridge and Sowler." Fine in Fine dustwrapper.…

Cloth, 4to, xiv, 155 pp, 40 ills. From the blurb: "The author, whose previous books French Bookbinders, 1789-1848, and United Kingdom Bookbinders, 1780-1840, are regarded as authoritative, has also produced this third work on London Bookbinders, 1780-1840. He has followed the lines of his previous books in giving as much factual information in a compact form as he has been able to collect on the binders working in London during the period, of whom he has been able to trace about 2,000. The details furnished give not only their names and the various addresses at which they worked during their careers, but also such interesting facts .as their family and business relations, their apprenticeships, the influence to which they were subjected or which they themselves exercised, etc., etc. The Author is, as usual, careful to evaluate the degree of authority of the various sources on which his information is founded. From a broader point of view, readers will find special interest in that part of the Introduction where Mr. Ramsden traces, on a scale never previously attempted, the stylistic development of London Bookbinding from 1780, and indeed from 1765, about which date a genuine revival seems to have set in. The 40 illustrations include bindings by Baumgarten and Johnson of which authenticated specimens had never previously been reproduced." Fine in Fine dustwrapper.…
