While it is possible to think this is a homosexual scene, if maybe also a heterosexual one â" just that it is not painted in quite an identifiable way. Perhaps as the artist intended. Perhaps a hidden joke is the 'penal code' aspect of this text, the Romanesque style of the painting would further support the homosexual display, a known Roman relationship. [c340/113].

Sold by Harrington's with their cost-marks. [c340/126].

Drury, together with some friends, projected and published the Arundines Cami, a collection of translations into Latin and Greek verse by several Cambridge men. The first edition was published in a beautiful form in 1841, and four subsequent editions appeared during Drury's lifetime; a sixth, after his death, was edited by (his son-in-law) Mr. H. J. Hodgson in 1865. These successive editions contained several new pieces." [Wikipedia].

Two volumes. 8vo. vi, [2], 492; xii, 445, [1] pp. Original full blind- and gilt-stamped very dark green morocco, raised bands, gilt compartments, all edges gilt. This item was given to Edward Digley Hildyard, Eton College, in recognition of 'good work' as [Captain?] of the House from Sept. 1882 to August 1883. Very good +. With two erotic fore-edge paintings after the comic work of Thomas Rowlandson. One of the drawings is called "The Inspection", the other "The Connoisseurs". Perhaps the artist offers a slight nudge of humor suggested by the book title "friends in council" and the council that ensues being of a particular type . . . maybe? / Sold by Harrington's with their markings. Apparently, a house artist, painting was made September 1995, by evidence of Harrington's post-it sticker-note remaining in the book indicating that they had sent pictures of this item, as an offer, to [Randy] Moskovitz, their [principal] client for fore-edge paintings. That note is dated; thus, the painting was made just prior to this dated bookseller's note. [c340/094].

9 cm. [3.7 x 2.25 inches]. 2 volumes. 16mo. [not paginated]. Original full very dark maroon gilt-stamped morocco, all edges gilt, gilt inner dentelles, cream endsheets. Both volumes are within a maroon full-leather slipcase with draw-string. A note suggests the box is later made, however the same note states that the fore-edge paintings are early and they are clearly not early. All-in-all a handsome set very nicely preserved. Fine. With two fore-edge paintings, called "Village Church scenes". The bookseller's note referencing this item suggests that these fore-edge paintings were from 1844. This supports buyers thinking that an item is something which it isn't â" a huge problem with fore-edge painted books. What is their true history and how does one know it? It is natural to ask what evidence is there for taking a position on an item like this. The fore-edge paintings offered here are likely dated to the 1990s. These are not 19th century images. / What do you suppose is far more likely to be true: that an item in front of you is new or that it is old? If it is 'new' then how do you know? What if it is old? Be aware that a true fore-edge painted specimen of any early date, say 1780 or 1802 â" is quite rare â" especially when compared to the overwhelming number of 20th century specimens and especially specimens that are fresh â" new â" not even as old as the internet! What is the evidence? It is often thought that early provenance implies that a book has a fore-edge painting when it is a thing inscribed to a lover, perhaps, a bride, or a close friend. Some fore-edge paintings have been made and inscribed thus, but they are very rare. What is common is an item that is new. / A charming piece as its condition, including the case, are perfectly kept and clean. Sold by Harrington's with their cost-marks. [c340/081].

With two fore-edge paintings, being a "split-double" fore-edge. Facing left is a Romanesque frolic in the forest (with as many as 9 people!), also an armless statue. Facing right is a quasi-erotic scene, after Peter Paul Rubens' Judgement of Paris involving shows 3 disrobed voluptuous women posing as a beauty contest, judged by 2 soldiers. The winner of the contest is being offered a golden apple as the prize. The soldiers' war outfits are to the left of the scene, a cherub in the lower corner. A very well painted set of scenes. Peter Paul Rubens' Judgement of Paris [ca.1635] National Gallery, London, UK. [c340/114].
