4. (Bird & Bull Press) FIVE ON PAPER, A COLLECTION OF FIVE ES- SAYS ON PAPERMAKING, BOOKS AND RELEVANT MATTERS. North Hills: Bird & Bull Press, 1963, small 4to., original full morocco. 59+(1) pages. $ 1,250.00 This collection of essays is limited to 169 numbered copies (Taylor A4) and contains “A Collection of Notes Written in the Vat-House of an Old Devonshire Paper Mill” by Dard Hunter, “A Letter from Kent” by J. Barcham Green, “Adventures in Papermaking, the Founding of the Twelve by Eight Mill” by John Mason, and “The Pleasures of Paper are Infinite” by Norman H. Strouse. This work also Includes six wood engravings by David MacDermott and Diane Conrad entitled “The Papermaker’s Art.” Mr. Morris says of this book, “Unhappily, I committed a serious error when I was making the paper for this book . . . I had made an acidic sheet that would begin to deteriorate quickly.” There was “a gradual darkening of the pages and now the paper is becoming brittle.” Browning along the edges of the paper and the inner margin is common with all copies.

[ 2 ] raine, Bartholomaeus Anglicus, John of Trevisa, John Tate, Wynkyn De Worde, and De Proprietatibus Rerum contains four essays written for this volume, 19 facsimiles of the woodcuts from DE PROPRIETA- TIBUS RERUM, and two actual leaves, inserted in a mylar folder, taken from a defective copy of DE PRORIETATIBUS RERUM (circa 1495 and printed by Wynkyn de Worde). This book was the first English book printed on paper made in England and the use of Tate’s paper is proudly cited in the epiloque of the actual book. After Tate’s death in 1507, three failed attempts to make paper in England happened during the 15th century but English papermaking was not established until John Spilman’s successful mill in 1585. Hills has written about John Tate and his papermill. Such a leaf is rare, for it is highly unlikely another incomplete copy of Bartholomaeus will be on the market again. Henry Morris in his foreword says about this book, “I knew it would probably be the most important work I could ever hope to produce in the field of papermaking history.” Loosely inserted is a printed note from the publisher commenting on the small limitation. Inscribed by Henry Morris on the colophon page “This last and less than perfect copy for Alvin Kerman who is one hell of a fine writer, Henry Morris 1/26/95.” This copy has two leaves in the pocket in the back pocket. Damage along the binding margin has been repaired and the text leaf also has an old repair to a tear in the lower margin. The first leaf is from the “tabula.” [104184]

[ 4 ] 7. (Bird & Bull Press) Hunter II, Dard. DARD HUNTER & SON. N.P. (but Newtown, PA): Bird & Bull Press, 1998, 4to., quarter black morocco, leather spine label, Japanese cloth-covered boards, cloth-covered clamshell box with leather spine label. 152, (6) pages, with 30 additional pages and 6 additional leaves of paper & printing samples, and reproductions. $ 1,750.00 This fine letterpress work is an edition limited to only 225 numbered copies, of which 180 are pre- subscribed (Leaf Book - Chalmers 215). Henry Morris’ Bird & Bull Press has now published a new Dard Hunter book, which aims to “provide a reasonable taste of the original [The Life Work], sufficient perhaps to appreciate the unstinting quality of the artistry and uncommon skill that was lavished on this work,” and to provide additional material, including some on Dard Hunter II. The introduction by Mr. Morris is followed by Dard Hunter II’s account of the writing of his father’s biography, followed in turn by Dard Hunter III’s short account of the life of Dard II, with color plates. Dard Hunter & Son documents Hunter’s early Roycroft days, studies in Vienna, stained-glass windows, first paper mill in Marlborough NY, early watermarks, typefounding experiments, the move to “Mountain House,” brief venture into large-scale hand papermaking, later moulds and watermarks, and his publications. Each topic is complimented by appropriate illustrations. There are three tipped-in-plates with 55 color reproductions of swatches of marbled and paste papers done by Hunter in his Vienna days, three samples (reprintings by Bird & Bull) of 2-color page or cover designs done for the Roycrofters, photos of the Marlborough Mill and a reduced-size reprint of a Dard Hunter poster drawing of the mill, original leaves from various publications, a bound-in sample of paper made by Dard Hunter and two by his son, tipped-in photos of Dard Hunter demonstrating papermaking at MIT in 1946, and a tipped-in facsimile of a page of notes made by Dard Hunter while visiting an English paper mill. The book concludes with a ten-page facsimile of the journal kept by Dard Hunter II while writing the Life Work. In all, there are about seventy individual text illustrations or facsimiles, twenty or so tipped-in plates, and sixteen printings or reprintings by the Hunters and print reproductions by Bird & Bull. This work is set in Ehrhardt type and printed on Frankfurt mould made paper at Bird & Bull. The multi-talented Dard Hunter (1883–1966), who eventually settled upon papermaking and the history of paper as his life’s work, is a person of considerable interest in the recent history of the book arts. Relatively little, however, of a biographical nature has been published about him: chiefly his own autobiography of 1958, and the Life Work of Dard Hunter by his son, Dard Hunter II (1917–1989), itself an impressive work printed in Dard Hunter II’s own type, and produced in a very limited edition in the early 80’s. Also includes a prospectus. [53318]

10. (Bird & Bull Press) Schmoller, Tanya. REMONDINI AND RIZZI, A CHAPTER IN ITALIAN DECORATED PAPER HISTORY. New Castle, DE: Oak Knoll Books, 1990, 8vo., cloth-backed boards covered with patterned paper, in facsimile of an original Remondini pattern specially executed by Henry Mor- ris, leather spine label. 55, (5) pages. $ 475.00 A first edition limited to 215 numbered copies, Remondini and Rizzi is set in Perpetua and printed by letterpress on Johannot mould-made paper by Henry Morris at the Bird & Bull Press. Italian block- printed papers were the start of the collection of decorated papers that Tanya Schmoller and her hus- band Hans gathered together for over twenty years. The use of woodblocks to transfer designs to cloth and paper can be traced back in Europe to the fourteenth century. In the region of what is now Italy there were several firms supplying these colorful papers, the most eminent being the firm of Remon- dini which was established in 1650. This work traces the history of the Remondini enterprise and also that of Giuseppe Rizzi who took over the Remondini woodblocks after 1861. It examines the sales techniques and production methods of these two firms and contains actual specimens of Rizzi deco-

[ 6 ] rated paper. Such samples are rarely found today and they are usually very expensive. The illustrations include a three-color facsimile of a Remondini woodblock and a fold-out reproduction of a decree authorizing the sale of gilt paper. Also included are four pages of genuine Rizzi paper samples. [29914]

14. (Bird & Bull Press) Wolfe, Richard J. JACOB BIGELOW’S AMERICAN MEDICAL BOTANY, 1817–1821, AN EXAMINATION OF THE ORI- GIN, PRINTING, BINDING AND DISTRIBUTION OF AMERICA’S FIRST COLOR PLATE BOOK. WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON THE MANNER OF MAKING AND PRINTING ITS COLORED PLATES. North Hills, PA: Bird & Bull Press, 1979, tall 8vo., quarter leather over decorated paper-covered boards. 123 pages. $ 600.00 Limited to 300 numbered copies, this work (Taylor A21) is an excellent, scholarly study, finely printed by Henry Morris. With two original plates intended for Bigelow’s book, Jacob Bigelow’s American Medi- cal Botany shows a plate that Bigelow had meant to use in his work but didn’t. “The two illustrations mounted into this study comprise original, engraved plates—one hand-colored and one left uncolored—which Jacob Bigelow had made up when he initially intended to illustrate his edition in the usual, hand-colored way. As this study shows, the burdensome aspects of this method led him and his cohorts to invent a mechanical method of printing the plates and coloring them concurrently. This resulted in the abandonment of these initial plates, some of which had been colored by artists and some left untouched. These surplus plates, amounting to several thousand, came into the Boston Medical Library in 1927 through the bequest of Jacob Bigelow’s grandson, Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow, and it was deemed desirable to mount two of them—a colored and an uncolored specimen—into each copy of this edition, in this way enhancing it with an air of originality and added interest.” [23016]

The attractive collotypes were done by the Meriden Gravure Co. of Meriden, CT—being reproductions of ten Chinese paintings of “Bamboo in black ink.” Each painting has an inscription and seal, but no signature—for it would have been regarded as an act of bad taste for a painter of rank and power to reveal his identity. Contents include Bamboo in Usage and Art, illustrated by many literary quotations; The Canons of Hsieh Ho, Pertaining to Spirit and the operation of Rhythmic Vitality that flows through all forms of nature, etc.; The Psychology of Graphic Art; and The Analysis of the Illustrations.

Illustrated by Douglas Percy Bliss (1900–1984) with color frontispieces and black-and-white headpieces throughout. A close friend of Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden, and a student of both Sir William Rothenstein and Paul Nash, Bliss’s major importance is as a wood engraver and a historian of wood engraving. “The pen and ink illustrations for Palace of Pleasure, with their visual wit, demonstrate his skill in this medium as well” (Horne p.109). Originally published 1566–7, this is a collection of 100 stories adapted from Greek, Latin, French, and Italian literature, and often used as a source-book by Elizabethan dramatists. William Painter, clerk of Queen Elizabeth’s Or- dinance, was an importer rather than a contriver of stories. “When he compiled his collection of tales from classical and European sources, he was catching a rising breeze of popular favor and supplying just such a food for the imagination as England was seeking” (introduction).

[ 71 ] 143. (Leaf Book) Hunter II, Dard. DARD HUNTER & SON. N.P. (but New- town, PA): Bird & Bull Press, 1998, 4to., quarter black morocco, leather spine label, Japanese cloth-covered boards, cloth-covered clamshell box with leather spine label. 152, (6) pages, with 30 additional pages and 6 additional leaves of paper & printing samples, and reproductions. $ 2,000.00 Finely letterpress printed in an edition limited to only 225 numbered copies, of which 180 are pre- subscribed. Henry Morris’ Bird & Bull Press has now published a new Dard Hunter book, which aims in part to “provide a reasonable taste of the original [The Life Work], sufficient perhaps to appreciate the unstinting quality of the artistry and uncommon skill that was lavished on this work,” and in part to provide additional material, including some on Dard Hunter II. The introduction by Mr. Morris is followed by Dard Hunter II’s account of the writing of his father’s biography, followed in turn by Dard Hunter III’s short account of the life of Dard II, with color plates. Dard Hunter & Son documents Hunter’s early Roycroft days, studies in Vienna, stained-glass windows, first paper mill in Marlborough NY, early watermarks, typefounding experiments, the move to “Mountain House,” the brief venture into large-scale hand papermaking, later moulds and watermarks, and his publications. Each topic is complimented by appropriate illustrations. There are three tipped-in plates with 55 color reproductions of swatches of marbled and paste papers done by Hunter in his Vienna days, three samples (reprintings by Bird & Bull) of 2-color page or cover designs done for the Roycrofters, photos of the Marlborough Mill and a reduced-size reprint of a Dard Hunter poster drawing of the mill, original leaves from various publications, a bound-in sample of paper made by Dard Hunter and two by his son, tipped-in photos of Dard Hunter demonstrating papermaking at MIT in 1946, and a tipped-in facsimile of a page of notes made by Dard Hunter while visiting an English paper mill. The book concludes with a ten-page facsimile of the journal kept by Dard Hunter II while writing the Life Work. In all, there are about 70 individual text illustrations or facsimiles, 20 or so tipped-in plates, and 16 printings or reprintings by the Hunters and print reproductions by Bird & Bull. Set in Ehrhardt type and printed on Frankfurt mould made paper at Bird & Bull. The multi- talented Dard Hunter (1883–1966), who eventually settled upon papermaking and the history of paper as his life’s work, is a person of considerable interest in the recent history of the book arts. Relatively little, however, of a biographical nature has been published about him: chiefly his own autobiography of 1958, and the Life Work of Dard Hunter by his son, Dard Hunter II (1917–1989), itself an impressive work printed in Dard Hunter II’s own type, and produced in a very limited edition in the early 1980’s. This is a special copy of the book and has a note by Henry Morris in red ink loosely inserted in which he states “Bob - this is one of the special copies with best inserts. Give it to someone you want who’s ‘special’.” With prospectus. [103770] Item 143

Pinner, Middlesex: Private Libraries Association, 1995, tall 8vo., cloth. xvi, 256 pages. $ 95.00 According to Broomhead, during the 19th century a growing demand for books, resulting from wider general education and an increasing interest in antiquarian pursuits by the leisured classes, was met by the inventive genius of the period, which developed new processes and machines for speedier and cheaper book production. Book illustration was an area where new techniques were widely employed, giving the books of the period an added interest for many collectors. Wood engraving was used extensively for illustrating books in the 19th century, losing its eminence only when photographic and photo-mechanical processes were developed in the latter decades of the century. One prolific wood engraver, whose early work showed some similarities to the work of Thomas Bewick, was Orlando Jewitt (1799–1869.) His illustrations appeared widely over the half-century from approximately 1820 to 1870. Many of the books containing his engravings continued to be reprinted, and Jewitt’s work was used after his death in newly published works. Jewitt’s illustrations are included in many standard works in the fields of topography, architecture (Gothic Revival), archaeology and natural history. He also illustrated books for young people, and worked as an engraver of seals and bookplates. This book contains approximately 100 illustrations, an introduction and multi-chapter history of Jewitt’s background, two appendixes listing Jewitt’s work as an author and his bookplates, a checklist of books and periodicals illustrated by him, references cited and an index of titles.

The methodology used by Hain, i.e. whenever possible printing the beginning and end, line by line, of every work cited, and giving details such as size, format, kind of type, pagination, etc., allows exact identification of incunabula. Al- though most very early works lacked a specific title, the information supplied by Hains, together with a textual description, makes an error in identification “practically out of the question.” -Sheehy AA269. This four-volume set can be called the foundation work for the identification of incunabula. [74179]

London: Printed for Private Circulation Only, 1930, small 4to., polished linen, beveled edges, top edge gilt, others uncut, later cloth slipcase. xii, 224, (2) pages with separate plates.$ 750.00 First edition, one of 250 copies of which this is one of the 50 copies printed on hand-made paper. With a six page introduction by J.C. Squire. This copy is inscribed by Wise “For Dr. Rosenbach, with most cordial regards from Thos. J. Wise.” Wise included Rosenbach’s Books and Bidders in this volume (the English edition). Rosenbach was a friend of Wise and after the Carter-Pollard exposé continued to claim this friendship and defended Wise, blaming “his great love of books - no one loved them more than he and it was on this account I think and not a purely mercenary one that he committed these forgeries. He would go to any length to obtain a fine item.” - in a letter to Estelle Doheny. The Rosen- bachs had approached Wise in 1922 with the possibility of buying his collection. Wolf and Fleming’s biography of Rosenbach (pages 396–398) relate the story of how Rosenbach wrote to Hogan stating that he knew 15 years before publication of the Enquiry that Wise was a forger.

Time has not diminished the allure of the chromolithographed depictions of the fine bindings and decorative art used to enhance these early manuscripts. It is presumed that much of the material in this catalogue was stolen, as Libri, it is now known, was a notorious book thief who removed items from many continental libraries. De Ricci describes how Lord Asburnham was a great client of Libri’s and the difficulties his family had in dispersing his library due to claims of ownership from various public libraries chiefly in France (English Collectors pp 131–136).

(iv),xxxi,391+(1); x,566; xi,356,(47) pages. $ 125.00 Reprint of the 1907 first edition which was published in a limited edition of 350 copies. This pioneer work provided biographical sketches and a checklist of the works of over seven hundred American engravers. Little had previously been written about this subject, as the great majority of early American engravers were relatively obscure men and often the only record of their existence as engravers was the few impressions of a plate accidentally preserved. Stauffer’s work was based on the prints themselves - their signatures, dates and publishers - and he realized there were omissions. In 1917 Mantle Fielding, who had corresponded with Stauffer and seen many of his notes, published a supplement in a numbered, limited edition of 220 copies. This is also reprinted. Stauffer’s and Fielding’s works on American Engravers are well-indexed for engravers and partly indexed for subjects. [103875]
