Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Embroidered Bookbindings Exhausting and futile struggle with France, Eng land was torn asunder by the wars of the Roses, and by the time these were ended the school of illumination, so full of promise, and seemingly so firmly established, had absolutely died out. When printing was introduced England possessed no trained illuminators or skilful scribes such as in other countries were forced to make the best of the new art in order not to lose their living, nor were there any native wood-engravers ready to illustrate the new books. I have never myself seen or heard of a 'caxton' in which an illuminator has painted a preliminary border or initial letters even the rubrication, where it exists, is usually a disfigurement; while as for pictures, it has been unkindly said that inquiry whence they were obtained is super uous, since any boy with a knife could have cut them as well.

Book excerpt: English Embroidered Bookbindings: Large Print by Cyril Davenport s, as a rule, bought only the books of their own day, giving them distinction by the handsome liveries which they made them don. Our English collectors have more often been of the omnivorous type, and though Lords Lumley and Arundel in the sixteenth century cannot, even when their forces are joined, stand up against De Thou, in Sir Robert Cotton, Harley, Thomas Rawlinson, Lord Spencer, Heber, Grenville, and Sir Thomas Phillips (and the list might be doubled without much relaxation of the standard), we have a succession of English collectors to whom it would be difficult to produce foreign counterparts. Round these dii majores have clustered innumerable demigods of the book-market, and certainly in no other country has collecting been as widely diffused, and pursued with so much zest, as in England during the present century. It is to be regretted that so few English collectors have cared to leave their marks of ownership on the books they have taken so much pleasure in bringing together. Michael Wodh We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exhibition of Silver Embroidered and Curious Bookbindings: April 16 to May 9, 1903 It Was appropriate that these exhibitions of modern hand-tooled bindings should be fol lowed, as they were in 1894, by a collection Of machine-made covers, or Commercial Bookbindings. Books from the Libraries or Collections of Celebrated Bibliophiles and Illustrious Per sons Of the Past, with Arms or Devices upon the Bindings was the subject of an exhibition held in 1895; Recent American Bindings in Leather, of one held in 1897. In 1899 a collection of early English decorated bindings, about which little had then been written, was shown. Last year mosaic binding, the high est form of the art, was exemplified in a col lection of remarkable extent and beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal English Bookbindings Generally speaking, the bindings in the "King's Library" - the name by which George III.'s collection is now known in the British Museum - are modern; but among them are a considerable number of old bindings in good condition, and it is possible that those which were rebound were mostly in a bad state. Unfortunately the crowned monogram of George III. is generally impressed in a prominent place, even on such old bindings as have been otherwise preserved intact; and although valuable as a record it is often a great disfigurement. There is little doubt that George III.'s intention was to create a new royal library to remain in the possession of the kings themselves, but there seems to have been some idea that it would eventually become national property, as Dr. Frederick Wendeborn, a German preacher, well known at Court, wrote: "The King's Private library ... can boast very valuable and magnificent books, which, as it is said, will at one time or another be joined to those of the British Museum." This prediction was fulfilled in 1823, when George IV. presented it to the nation, and the fine room now known as the King's Library in the British Museum was built for its reception, the removal being completed in 1828. William IV. does not seem to have been altogether pleased that the royal libraries should have been twice given away, as he added a codicil to his will in 1833, bequeathing to the Crown "all his additions to the libraries in the several royal palaces," with an autograph confirmation dated from Brighton, November 30, 1834, signed and sealed by himself, declaring "that all the books, drawings, and plans collected in all the palaces shall for ever continue heirlooms to the Crown, and on no pretence whatever to be alienated from the Crown." The royal library at Windsor now contains the greatest number of royal bindings now existing in any one collection, except those at the British Museum, but it possesses very few that belonged to Tudor sovereigns. From the time of James I. it has a very fine collection. Where I have not specifically mentioned otherwise, the books described in the following pages are in the British Museum. They should be to the English people especially interesting, for not only are they national property, but any of them can be seen with little trouble, and a considerable number are actually exhibited in the binding show-cases in the King's Library, or in the Grenville Library.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Decorated Early English Bookbindings: Exhibited at the Grolier Club 1899 In the absence of precise data relative to the external decoration of books by English binders prior to the middle of the XVIIIth century, it has been thought desirable to gather this group with the view of assisting by comparison to a wider knowledge of the subject. Decorative bookbinding of English workmanship prior to 1700 is of infinitely rarer occurrence than contemporary specimens from continental Europe, and the history of the craft has yet to be written. It will be interesting to note the group of books printed in Oxford, and their uniform excellence of decoration.
