James MacDonald (1850-1920) was born in Scotland and trained there as a bookbinder. He immigrated to the United States in 1873 and began working with William Matthews, a leading American bookbinder. By 1880 he had established his own business - The Macdonald bindery which quickly gained a reputation for skilled and beautiful work. According to the Boston Evening Transcript for May 22, 1912, Macdonald purchased the entire works of the famous Club Bindery from the estate of Robert Hoe. [The Club Bindery had closed in 1909 and the staff had moved to Cleveland to the Rowfant Bindery.] For several decades The Macdonald Bindery produced truly fine bindings for themselves and others.

Cloth. Condición: Very Good Indeed. Various Ilustrador. A scarce set of the collected works of Robert Louis Stevenson. Complete in twenty volumes, this edition was part of a limited printing of 1550 copies, of which this is number 176. Published by Casell and Company in association with several of Stevenson's previous publishers, including Chatto and Windus, Heinemann and Longmans Green, this collection of his works varies from his most popular (Treasure Island, Kidnapped, In The South Seas, The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde etc) to more obscure, such as Notes and Essays Chiefly of The Road, Letters from Samoa and Familiar Studies of Men and Books. As such, the collection sees Stevenson's fiction and non-fiction, writing of his own opinions and experiences as much as creating these for his characters. The collection was published at a time before Stevenson's work would be disparaged in favour of Modernist Literature, which would make a departure from the escapism that prevailed in the popular work of the Nineteenth Century. This dismissal of Stevenson's work failed to take into account the author's literary and social criticism, as well as his humanist and anti-imperialist viewpoints (this latter aspect seen here particularly in The Ebb-Tide), which would perhaps have seen him viewed in more favour. The result was relatively far-reaching in that he would be deemed unworthy of mention in the definitive Norton Anthology of English Literature until 2006; a century after this collection was published. A bibliography and introduction is here provided by Edmund Gosse, a prominent literary critic of his time and a aquaintance and contemporary of the likes of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Robert Browning and Thomas Hardy. Gosse, among his other many achievements is largely credited in helping to popularise the work of Henrik Ibsen to English-speaking audiences. Each volume contains a bookplate to the pastedown, bearing the design of 'Newberry'. In cloth binding with gilt detailing. Externally quite smart, there are some instances of wear to the extremities, as well as sunning to the backstrip and markings to boards. Internally, the pages are firmly bound and are bright and clean throughout, aside from the usual instances of foxing to the endpapers. Very Good Indeed. book.

Each volume of "The Works" with frontispiece and titled tissue guards, "The Life" and "The Letters" with frontispiece portraits and tissue guards, volume I of "The Life" with additional portrait. The Works entirely unopened, volume II of "The Letters" with facsimile letter. â Leather with a hint of soiling, a few joints with just very light rubbing, but a lovely group of very decorative volumes showing only trivial wear, and extremely clean and pleasing internally. The volumes in this set are beautifully bound, look wonderful on the shelf, and showcase much of Stevenson's impressive corpus, including two of his best-known works, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and "Treasure Island." Despite his struggles with ill health, and a premature death from a brain hemorrhage at the age of 44, Stevenson (1850-94) left a remarkable body of work that remained popular for decades after his passing. No fewer than six collected editions of his complete works were published between 1894 and 1924, and he remains one of the most translated authors of all time. The present bindings, though unsigned, are sumptuously gilt, have luxurious doublures and endleaves, and make a very stately appearance. (The lost volumes went astray during shipping.). No. 1,513 of 1,550 copies of the Pentland Edition.

24 Volumes. 7 x 4.5", 3/4 brown leather with gilt-dec spine; marbled boards, minor extremity wear else a nice, decorative binding.
