Cloth, folio, 33 x 28 cm, 126, [2] pp, 50 colour plates. From the blurb: "Although most of the artists who decorated the religious, literary and historical writings of the Middle Ages with their illuminated letters and figures remain anonymous, colour photography has made their work increasingly familiar to the present-day public. For many centuries, however, these exquisite miniatures were available only to those who had access to the manuscripts. Then, in the 1840s, new chromolithographic printing techniques were developed which made it possible to convey the glorious colours of the originals by superimposing different tints on one another; and with these technical improvements came a fresh interest in illumination: The Illuminated Books of the Middle Ages is among the finest of the nineteenth-century books printed by the new process. The author and illustrator, Henry Noel Humphreys, who provided the scholarly text and copied the illuminations in the new medium, took care to include examples of the greatest possible range of styles and added a comprehensive list of important illuminated books to. his Introduction. The first of his colour plates depicts a folio from the seventh-century Lindisfarne Gospels, the last shows part of the Prayer Book of Louis XIV of France painted around 1,000 years later. As his selection makes clear, Humphreys was primarily interested in the decorative aspects of the illuminator's art, and in addition to making copies of whole pages, he has also borrowed sections of ornament and individual letters to enhance his text. An inspiration to the would-be illuminator, or to anyone seeking authentic medieval ornament to incorporate into modern design, this beautiful book is also an important reference work for the art historian and an example of Victorian printing at its best."

Cloth, small 8vo, 243, [1] pp, ills. From the blurb: "Originally published in 1896, this survey of book illustration is both a comprehensive guide to many facets of early work in the field and important evidence of Victorian taste and the influences which shaped it.Walter Crane, as a leading designer and illustrator, was exceptionally well placed to survey the subject - indeed, some of the finest pieces among over 100 drawings reproduced here are those by Crane himself. Crane begins by describing the artist's role in producing manuscripts and early printed books up to the end of the sixteenth Century, giving an account of Italian, French and (particularly) German work. He then moves to the beginning of 'modern illustration', which he dates from the work of Blake, and takes in most of the major Victorian exponents of the art, with examples from such men as Rossetti, Selwyn Image, Arthur Hughes, Laurence Housman, Howard Pyle and Will H. Bradley.The result is a book which has delighted the collector for many years, and is now in increasing demand among art historians and typographers." Fine in Fine dustwrapper.…

Rexine, 8vo, xx, 216 pp, 72 colour plates and 19 monochrome illustrations. From the blurb: "Birket Foster, or Myles Birket Foster, to give the artist his full name, was born in North Shields in Northumberland on 4th February 1825. He came from an established family of North Country Quakers, who owned land in Lancashire and Northumberland. He was the seventh child and sixth son of his parents; his father, also called Myles Birket Foster, had 'emigrated' to London in 1830, travelling from Newcastle by sea. It was in London, therefore, that young Birket Foster grew up and when he left school, he started work in his father's firm. This did not last long. An accident with a corkscrew convinced his father that he would be better off pursuing an artistic career and through the agency of the north country connection his father arranged for him to be apprenticed to Ebenezer Landells. Landells was an extraordinary man. A former apprentice of Thomas Bewick, he had come to London from Newcastle, and ran an engraving business; but his chief claim to fame is that he founded Punch. Under Landells, Birket Foster became friends with many of the leading engravers and artists of the day. His particular friend was Edmund Evans, latterly the most famous colour printer of the 19th century and promoter of Kate Greenaway. It would be true to say that of all the Victorian artists Birket Foster has remained one of the most sought after and the most popularthe many lovely colour reproductions, over 70 in all, reproduced in this book show why his art is so much in demand."
