Hardcover, dust jacket. 7 x 12 inches. Hardcover, dust jacket. 337 pages. First edition. John Everett Millais is admired as one of the most celebrated of Pre-Raphaelite painters. Perhaps less known is the major contribution he made both to book and periodical illustration between 1852 and 1883. Many of these book illustrations remain little known today, largely due to the fact that they are scattered in hundreds of 19th century books and periodicals. This important new work brings together over 300 examples of Millais illustrations, enabling this part of his work to be viewed and appreciated by new generations. This work will be an important reference to any scholar interested in Victorian book illustration. Paul Goldman was a curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. He is the author of Victorian Illustrated Books 1850-1870 - The Heyday of Wood-Engraving (British Museum Press, 1994) and Victorian Illustration - The Pre-Raphaelites, The Idyllic School and The High Victorians (Scolar Press, 1996).…

Hardcover, dust jacket. 6 x 9 inches. Hardcover, dust jacket. 281 pages. Delivered at the Twenty-second Conference on the History of the British Book Trade Birmingham, July 2005. First edition. This ninth volume of the Print Networks series contains twelve exciting chapters from scholars working on the connections between the parties involved in the production of print artifacts; from author to printer, publisher, bookseller and reader. Chronologically, the offerings range from the seventeenth to the twentieth century as they track the developing trade in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Publishers and readers who spent part of their lives in North America are also featured in several of the chapters. The main theme emerging from this volume is the significance of cheap print, including newspapers and journals. The social, cultural, political and economic significance of these artifacts is highlighted by an in-depth examination of the lives of those men and women who participated in the book trade.…

Cloth. Condición: Very Good/Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. In this book the author concentrates on the intellectual context of exploration. How did the explorers and their patrons understand their expanding world and their place in it? What were they really seeking, and how did they believe they could achieve it? How did they balance the known and the unknown in their minds? Historical maps are vitally important in answering these questions, and this book displays the geographical ideas of the explorers themselves, through the maps that they used or the new maps which they caused to be made. The power that came with increasing technical and geographical knowledge is made plain by the European empires that grew out of conquest, annexation and exploitation. Many maps are a potent symbol of that power. But equally there are maps - which to our eyes seem misleading, inaccurate and highly imaginative - which serve as evocative and poignant reminders of the gaps in peoples' knowledge. Up until very recent times, as maps show, there have been areas of the world remaining to be explored and 'new found lands' to discover. With 150 illustrations, 100 in colour. Illustrated. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J.…
