Cloth, folio, top edge gilt, gilt titles on cover and spine, 42 cm, xxviii, [1], 135 pp, 162 plates (chiefly by Emery Walker). 269 entries. From the introduction: " It is with a view to calling attention to their documentary importance in relation to pictures and architecture, as well as to their intrinsic beauty and to the accomplishment of their makers, that this exhibition has been got together. Its range is from the ninth to the sixteenth century, and it may be confidently asserted that so many splendid examples of the Illuminator's art, and so various in their excellence, have never before been showed in a single room.The present catalogue .contains eight plates which will recall to those who saw the exhibition the general appearance of the upright cases and the relative sizes of the books displayed in them; besides a hundred and fifty-four plates in which a hundred and sixty-five of the books and framed cuttings are reproduced. These are the work of Mr. Emery Walker, with the exception of Plates 60 and 87, which are photogravures by the Autotype Company. They are approximately of the scale of the originals except a very few plates in which the size of the volumes necessitated a reduction of scale. As often as possible the open book is shown, and not only an isolated page." The country or place of origin is first given, then the date, the number of leaves, the number of lines to a page, and the size of the page in inches. Next comes a summary of the contents, then a short account of the decoration and of the pictures or initials exhibited. Finally there are some details relating to the early history and owners of the books, and the shortest possible description of the bindings. "The scribes represented include: Godeman, monk of Winchester (n)' Dominicus, son of Albericus (7), William, of Bury St. Edmunds (23), Willelme (39), Thomas the Norman (94), Johannes Campions and Arnulphus de Camphaing (112), Marinus (116), Michael Lupide Çandiu (143), Cazaninus Johannis de Montebellio (177), Hippolytus of Luna (186), Nicolaus Pollini (187), Joachinus de Gigantibus (192), Johannes de Ecclesia (249), Petrus Antonius Salandus of Reggio (263), and Franciscus Weert (172). The illuminators are a smaller band. They were usually not scholars, and were not encouraged to sign their work. Six only give their names. These are: W. de Brailes (58, 59), Goswin de Lecaucie (112), Nicolaus de Bononia (177, 178), Girolamo da Cremona (118), Benedictus Bordon (196), and Simon Benninck (241).

An interesting letter, in which Webb sets out his approach to bookplate design. According to his entry in the Oxford DNB, 'By 1899 Webb was in poor health and losing money. His meagre savings were insufficient to build a cottage, so he accepted Caxtons, a four-bedroom sixteenth-century yeoman's house at Worth, near Crawley, Sussex, offered at a selflessly low rental by his friend William Scawen Blunt.' For the context of the present letter, see the letter from Webb to Sydney Cockerell, 1 September 1902, in volume 3 of John Apin's edition of Webb's letters. The present item is 1p, landscape 8vo, and consists of eighteen lines written in a tiny hand in pencil, with a number of ink additions that raise the possibility that it may be a draft. Addressed to 'Dear Mr. Holliday' and signed 'Ph: W.' In fair condition, on worn paper with a block of sunning. Folded into three equal sections by two vertical creases. He begins by stating that on 16 August Sydney Cockerel sent him [in a letter now in the British Library] an extract of one of Holliday's letters to him, beginning 'I suppose we are getting nearer to the time when Philip Webb will be at liberty to think about my book plate'. Webb's reply is: 'Now, & at this time, I can only answer with your word 'nearer' - for there is one in hand (or rather in rough idea) which has to be done before yours, on the principle of "first come, first served".' On the wider question he writes: 'I need scarcely add, that to do anything for you - which I thought passably fit to let go, would please me much; & therefore, I write the following with that not too forlorn hope. Cannot you think of something in your life, or of belongings, or fancy, or fact, which would be a hook on which to hang my [last word underlined] "fancy"? You see - or wd. guess, that I do not like to make such a design which has not some sufficient significance in it - great or small, - as the case may be - and for motive: when I have this it tethers me to some positive instead of a negative course; though I might add to or deduct from my brief according to the demands of decorative art - or my own wilfulness?' He turns to the 'third to be served' with a bookplate, John Feeney, proprietor of the Birmingham Daily Post. In that case 'the spirit is willing but the time and aptitude are but small. There is always a load on my spirit of things undone, when undoing to get into bed 365 nights in the year, so that I long to unship my pack of sin as Bunyan's "Christian" did his. What fellows these Cockerells & Walkers are for getting me into this "slough of despond"!' A postscript refers to 'Catterson Smith & the mace' (explained in John Apin's edition of Webb's letters).

Condizione: Very good. Each on a single folded "Aerogramme" sheet, addressed by Cockerell on verso; one page each. 8vo. Charming letters from the aging museum director, collector, and calligrapher, to his American counterpart Paul Standard, founding member of the Typophiles and champion of calligraphy. In the first, Cockerell expresses his delight on receiving the news that he "will have the great pleasure of seeing you and Mrs. Standard here in June - by the same post came one from RUTH DRAPER saying exactly the same thing . I shall be delighted to show you my Bembo ms and other fine specimens of Italian calligraphy." In the second, Cockerell touchingly apologizes for his tardiness in answering: "I am going through rather a tiresome phase of my malady (Old Age), which makes me lethargic and rather disinclined to answer letters . Stella dear, I think of you lovingly and wish speedy completion to your new book, with much applause to follow. Dear Paul, I feel that we understand each other and have a mutual affecton which wll not wear thin ." In the last letter, Cockerell is glad to know that "'Italian Food' [by Elizabeth David] has been an acceptable addition to Stella's culinary library . Also I was glad to have news of STANLEY MORISON, for whom I have great admiration . BR is another old and dear friend to whom I am glad to have had my recalled - He is maturing but I believe he's not eager to grow old - what a lot he has done for printing both in America and here .".
