Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Much sought after set of facsimile drawings by Rex Whistler, based upon A E W Mason's novel. This is number 249 of only 1000 copies that were printed for sale in America and Britain. Each glorious print is tip mounted onto the right hand page and its relevant text is printed on the left. The drawings are typically 'Whistlerian', delicate, witty, and beautifully produced at their original size. This large format issue is a superb example of this wonderful artist's work as well as being an example of fine book production. The slip case is in a deep olive, a bit sunned here and there, and the paper label is safely present, but it is not perfect; there is a fragility to the top edge. However, the slipcase has done its job because the book itself has survived pretty well inside, although the red spine is slightly sunned. I classify this as Very Good but compared with all the copies I have seen the inside pages in particular are best described as fine. Rex's brother supplies an interesting account of the commission, and its progression to what we see here. There is a beautifully reproduced tipped in letter from Rex as well. It shows some of his thoughts, and has some rough sketches on it as well. This is a seriously collectable Rex Whistler example. 0.0 0.0 0.0. Rex Whistler (illustratore).…

Cloth, gilt cover-title and device, large 4to, 44 cm, [3], 38, [2] pp,7 full-page engravings, 13 woodcuts. . Uncommon. Includes a Memoir of the artist and illustrator Cecil Gordon Lawson (1849-1882) by Sir Edmund Gosse and, in an appendix, a Catalogue of pictures exhibited by Cecil Lawson at the Royal Academy and at the Grosvenor Gallery. The illustrations comprise 3 etchings (2 by Herkomer, 1 by Whistler), 1 steel engraving by Herkomer, 3 facsimile reproductions of Lawson's works and 13 woodcuts of sketches drawn on wood by Lawson. The woodcuts and Whistler etching are printed on india paper and mounted. The other etchings are printed directly onto the page. From a contemporary review by Cosmo Monkhouse: ". the volume is a rare instance of how a young genius can be appreciated and his memory cherished by his peers both in his own art and the sister art of literature. Although the wood-cuts are unequal, some are very good, and others are the only records available of the arduous labour which Lawson for a few years undertook for the illustration of current literature. Of Mr. Whistler's etching the same may be said as of all his work, that it is "as good as far as it goes." It is characteristic that he should have chosen an unfinished picture for interpretation, and that this interpretation should be as "terse" as possible. His little slight etching is nevertheless a taste, and a piquant taste, of "his quality." To those who wish to see the very hand of Lawson himself, the most satisfactory plate in the volume is a facsimile of the beautiful crayon drawing of "The Maid was in the Garden. An ex-library copy with a few small blindstamps on lower margins and some accession marks, Covers darkened and finger-marked and slightly rubbed, endpapers agetoned, contents Good with a few minor marks.…

Hardcover. Full Vellum with gilt embossed title with ornate first letters on front cover, T.e.g. [8], 38, [2] pages, 7 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations, 1 portrait. Measures 15" x 18 7/8" (38 cm x 48 cm). JAMES A. M. WHISTLER Sketch after Cecil Lawson's "Swan and Iris." Etching and drypoint printed in black on antique, cream laid paper, 1882. 134x82 mm; 5 1/4x3 1/4 inches, wide margins. MacDonald's sixth state (of 6), with the horizontal drypoint lines extending on the bevel at the plate edge upper left. Partial Strasburg Lily watermark. A very good impression. The subject was inspired by an unfinished painting by the artist Cecil Lawson (1851-1882), whose widow Constance Lawson was the elder sister of Whistler's wife-to-be, Beatrice. According to MacDonald, this was the only illustration etching Whistler made after the three he produced for the Junior Etching Club in 1861. Kennedy 241; Glasgow 247. The frontis was etched by Herkomer from a portrait painting he did of Lawson in 1876. The whole contains 3 etchings (2 by Herkomer, 1 by Whistler), 1 steel engraving by Herkomer, 3 facsimile reproductions of Lawson's works and 13 woodcuts of sketches drawn on wood by Lawson. Exceptionally rare to find this book complete with all the components. The woodcuts and Whistler etcching are printed on india paper and mounted on the page stock. The other etchings are printed onto the thick page stock directly. Lawson, an artist of great promise, died at the age of 30. Gosse notes that most of the illustrations are intended to portray the style and character of his lesser-known and unfinished works. At the rear of the book is a single-page entitled "Catalogue of pictures exhibited by Cecil Lawson at the Royal Academy and at the Grosvenor Gallery." Octagonal paper label of the binding company Burn & Co. as base of rear pastedown.

Bound in full leather stamped "Stanley" with shield and eagle decoration on the front cover, with wear to the extremities. The spine has been expertly rebacked in full leather to match the original. The hinge of the page containing the Stanley photograph has been repaired almost invisibly, not affecting the photograph or the text. There is minor to moderate foxing scattered throughout. With the exception of the list of persons present, which is affixed to the inside front cover, each page is mounted on thick card stock. There are five photographic portraits of the officers of the Advance Command of the Expedition, each of which is signed by the officer in the top margin above the photograph. The book is additionally signed on the front and rear endpaper by 23 attendees of the banquet event. The text includes the menu of nine courses served on May 30th, 1890 including "Babas a la Stanley" for entrements. It was a lavish event, held in the Portman Rooms, with the Band of the Grenadier Guards played 10 songs. At this event, Stanley was presented with a massive testimonial shield and medallions wrought in fine silver by Elkington & Co. The shield was designed by Henry Solomon Wellcome, who apparently organized this banquet event. Wellcome's new tabloid medicines in the form of "nine beautiful chests replete with every medicament necessary to combat the endemic diseases peculiar to Africa" accompanied the expedition, and there were several pharmaceutical colleagues in attendance at the event.
