An attractive Gothic Revival item, tastefully printed in red and black. Printed on nine 13 x 9 cm panels, laid down on a cloth backing opening out to 39.5 x 28 cm; in original 14 x 10 cm printed card cover, with engraved title on front, within a gothic arch. In fair condition: aged and worn in worn and rubbed covers, with small white circular label on front board. Arranged, appropriately enough, in four columns headed: Name of Style; Reign A.D.; Illustrative Examples; Characteristics. The seven styles are given as: Saxon; Norman; Transition or Semi-Norman; Early English or Lancet; Decorated; Perpendicular Florid or Plantagenet; and Debased. Uncommon: the only copies on COPAC at the British Library, Bodleian and Rylands, with the only other copy of any other edition a copy of the fifth edition of 1844 at York Minster. According to Bedford's entry in the Oxford DNB, such youthful illustrations of 'the ecclesiastical architecture of London and York' as this item are thought to have 'brought him to the attention of the celebrated publishers and lithographers Day & Sons, whose innovative and costly production techniques placed them at the forefront of printing technology. Bedford's role at Day & Sons was to transfer the drawings and designs of artists intended as illustrations directly on to the lithographic stone in preparation for printing, a procedure that was both exacting and highly regarded.'.…

Landscape card, 7.5 x 11.5 cm. Designed to show off the firm's capabilities, and printed on one side in purple, green, light brown and gold, with fancy lettering within florally-decorated body and border, around a small central illustration of three men working a press. Printers' details in small letters at foot, reading 'F. Bentley & Co. Lth' and 'Shoe Lane, London.' The almanac on the reverse is a more restrained affair, stylishly printed in purple and gold.

Frederick was the brother of Richard Bentley, publisher, and Samuel Bentley, printer. See Image.…

An attractive collection of chromolithographs, suited to display. The plates are all in good condition, laid down on the aged and sometimes damaged leaves of a small 4to (17 x 21 cm) album with good tight bevelled-edged binding in dark brown cloth, on which an embossed stylized pattern of foliage and two storks is printed in black with the word 'ALBUM' on the front cover and blind-stamped on the back cover. The album has an ornate title page, printed in red, with illustration of flowers, branches and a butterfly, together with the word 'Album' and publishers' details. The firm's binder's ticket ('M. W. & CO. / LONDON', 'No. 6192) is at the foot of the rear pastedown. The 36 chromolithographs, each printed on 6.25 x 10.5 cm pieces of white card, are arranged side-by-side in pairs on the rectos of 18 leaves. 22 of the cards are captioned in black copperplate: 1 Adiantum Fern; 1 Birch; 2 Elm; 1 Horn Beam; 8 Maple; 3 Oak; 1 Pear & Plum; 1 Raspberry; 1 Red Maple; 1 Sassafras; 1 Wood-bine; 1 Whortlebury. In 1874 Marcus Ward & Co. produced a volume titled 'Plants: their natural growth and ornamental treatment', but the 44 leaves of plates do not correspond to the present collection. Colourful and effective illustrations of leaves with no background illustration, the white of the card nicely setting off the illustration. See Image.…

An unusual, scarce and frail survival. Printed on one side of a piece of tissue paper, roughly 35 cm square. Surprisingly well preserved: heavily creased, with some wear to extremities, one small hole (not affecting text or image) and one closed tear of approximately 4 cm to coloured border. The central section features portraits of the Spanish and English kings, within a decorative crested border, above twelve lines of text beginning 'The Royal yacht conveying King Alfonso XIII of Spain from Cherbourg will arrive on Monday at the South Jetty where the Prince of Wales will receive the young monarch on behalf of King Edward.' The illustration and text are enclosed in a floral border printed in yellow, green and gold. It was on this visit that the Spanish king met his future bride, Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg.

[16]pp, 16mo (11.5 x 7.5 cm). Stitched unpaginated pamphlet, tastefully printed with decorative headpiece to title, and the Press's celebrated device to the colophon. A frail survival, aged, worn and spotted, with one corner of last leaf dogeared. At foot of title-page: 'Any volume will be sent on receipt of Postal Order in advance.' Following the title-page are two pages with a history of 'The Chiswick Press. | Founded 1789.' Then a full-page advertisement for 'A Practical Treatise on the Art of Typography', with a full page containing 'Some Press Opinions'. Similar two-page advertisements follow for 'On the Making and Issuing of Books', 'Some Notes on Books and Printing', 'The Printers' Handbook', 'The Printers' Vocabulary' and 'Gesta Typographica'. Scarce: the only two copies on OCLC WorldCat at the Universities of Cambridge and Michigan.…

This is a document which would certainly repay investigation. No record of this firm of merchants has been discovered, or even of where they traded. Robison is a Scottish name, and there is an undated reference to a 'James Robison, merchant in Dumfries'; most Shuttleworth's hail from the north-east of England, and there is mention of a John Shuttleworth in Manchester in 1820. Other clues in the document suggest a London location: in 1793 Napper and Co. were listed as 'Dyers and Callico Printers, Old-street-square'; 'Clayton & Scott' were solicitors of Lincoln's Inn; and in 1810 a John Serrell dissolved his partnership with Charles Lickfold, 'as Carpenters and Builders, and Corn and Coal Dealers, at Camberwell in the County of Surrey'. On one side of a good piece of laid paper, 102 x 68 cm (i.e. three and a third feet by two). Folded six times into a 26 x 17 cm packet, on the front of which is written 'James Robinson Esqre.' In fair condition, with a number of closed tears along the folds (easily repairable, and with no loss of text whatever), and the reverse (the outside of the packet into which it is folded) rather grubby. The accountant William McRea has signed and dated the statement at bottom right. We at least know what the firm traded in: at bottom left are the details of the 'Merchandise': 'Coffee / Spice &c / Hops / Tea / Sugar'. The firm was clearly a substantial concern: the balance to 30 December 1804 was £17, 176 10s 4d. The rest of the document consists of the cash book, with the customary double-entry arrangement of credits and debits, and a list of the accounts of the drawers: William Bennett, James Bradley, Clayton & Scott, Henry Clarke, [Three pr. Cents,] John Hall, [Merchandise,] James Robinson, John Serrell, Thomas Reed, [Sundry Accounts,] John Shuttleworth Private Account, Napper & Co., Elizabeth Reed, [Lease & Fixtures,] Robison & Reed Goods Account, John Shuttleworth Goods Account, Joseph Reed Private Account'.…
