Crawhall (Joseph) Chaplets from Coquet-side, one of 16 extra-illustrated copies for presentation by the author, [iv], 83pp., [3pp.], 44 woodcuts in the text, including 19 hand-coloured, with 6 extra plates from Crawhall's 'Compleatest Angling Booke', 1859, tipped in, including etched portrait of Walton on India paper, 3 others etchings, 1 steel engraving and 1 woodcut, initialled postcard from Charles Keene and related newpaper cutting loosely inserted, some foxing, a little offsetting, contemporary straight-grain morocco-backed cloth, t.e.g., some staining to text margins, light soiling, [Westwood & Satchell p.69], 8vo, [Newcastle upon Tyne, Robert Robinson], 1873. *** The rarest of Crawhall's angling publications, one of an edition of only 16 extra-illustrated copies from a total printing of 100. Postcard from Keene asks Crawhall to allow his friend, A.C. Stannus, "the Champion Irish Trout Fisher ... ", to enter one of his pictures of the Coquet into Crawhall's exhibition. This copy also has a woodcut vignette on p.33 which is coloured in red as well as blue. Crawhall made gifts of this book in both the standard edition and this limited extra-illustrated edition of 16. A curious mix of the old and new, 'Chaplets' contains several poems celebrating angling, comic pieces, anecdotes about Newcastle and a selection from his contributions to 'Newcastle's Fishers' Garlands'. The only rarer work is the unattainable single copy of 'Angling Quips and Sporting Skits'.

Crawhall (Joseph, editor) A Collection of Right Merrie Garlands for North Country Anglers, one of 50 on large paper, extra-illustrated copy, xvi, 312pp., [1p.], half-title, title printed in red and black, extra illustrations by F.M. Fenwick, 96 original full-page drawings, 107 original ink drawing vignettes and 1 original watercolour, some woodcut vignettes hand-coloured, bookplate of John George Fenwick, occasional light foxing, contemporary red morocco, gilt, g.e., very slightly rubbed, [Westwood & Satchell p.69], 8vo, Newcastle upon Tyne, George Rutland, 1864. *** Unique; an unusual association copy, profusely extra-illustrated. The additional drawings occupy the blank ff. of the book with vignettes illustrating the half-titles. These charming drawings are of fish, angling and river bank scenes. The watercolour is of an angling permit dated 1889. Fenwick was a close associate of Crawhall. Confusingly, the spine of this book carries a different title, 'Newcastle Fishers' Garlands'. Also confusing is the note opposite the title in the octavo edition saying "Fifty Copies printed on large paper". Interestingly, the limited large paper edition does not carry such a note.

Crawhall (Joseph) The Compleatest Angling Booke That Ever was Writ, first edition, signed presentation copy from the author to his daughter, and from her to her daughters, 159ff. printed on rectos only (unpaginated), number 15 of 40 copies, additional engraved title, 34 mounted plates, including 3 hand-coloured and 2 in two states (1 being hand-coloured), 2 original watercolours on text versos, all initialled by artist, original double-page watercolour of a trout tipped in, numerous vignettes in the text, many hand-coloured, facsimile plates, music, Crawhall's bookplate to front free endpaper, contemporary newspaper cuttings and photocopied hand-written table showing to whom the 40 copies were presented tipped in, some foxing, contemporary green morocco, gilt, g.e., rebacked and repaired with original spine laid down, lower cover damp-stained, drop-back box, [Westwood & Satchell pp.69-70], 4to, Newcastle upon Tyne, [by and for the author], 1859. *** This is without question the premier collectable copy of this much sought after work.

Crawhall (Joseph) The Compleatest Angling Booke That Ever Was Writ, signed presentation copy from the author to Octavius Joseph Crawhall, second edition, one of 100 copies, ccxxxiii, [i], woodcut and wood-engraved vignettes and illustrations by the author, Joseph Crawhall III, James Guthrie and W. Chapman throughout, some hand-coloured, a little very light foxing, original blind-stamped calf, gilt, t.e.g., skilfully rebacked and repaired, [Westwood & Satchell p.69], 4to, Newcastle upon Tyne, Andrew Reid, 1881. *** Inscription reads "Octavius Joseph Crawhall. With the Author's kind regards. July.86." There were some additions and deletions made to text but mostly to illustrations, other material was rearranged.

Crawhall (Joseph) The Compleatest Angling Booke that Ever was Writ, [238pp.], reprint of 1881 second edition on Nideggen paper, lithographed illustrations, original rexine by David Black, slip-case, 4to, New York, Freshet Press, 1970. *** This reprint approximates the 1881 edition as closely as possible, to the extent of replicating the cover stamping and importing paper from Germany for the text and decorative paper from Italy for the endpapers.

Crawhall (Joseph) Ye Loving Ballad of Lorde Bateman, To itte's owne Tune herein sette ffoorth, signed presentation copy from the author to his son-in-law, number 2 of only 15 copies printed ?on India paper, [15ff.], 2 woodcuts, including hand-coloured cut of the Crawhall coat of arms, 2ff. printed music, one inlaid as issued, 1f. of music spotted and with light water-staining, a little light browning, original morocco, rebacked, gilt spine, extremities slightly rubbed, 8vo, n.p., n.d. [?1860]. *** Crawhall's extremely scarce second book. Inscription reads "Joseph Crawhall 1860" to which has been added "to Frederick C.T. Challoner. October-14-1884." A note to the front free endpaper reads "4 copies on India printed - 6 d[itt]o. thick paper, 5 d[itt]o. 4to - 15 copies in all." Crawhall liked the cut at the beginning of a singer accompanied by piper enough to use it again and again in later books. Music was a central interest in his life and this produced some of his best illustrations. Although 15 copies were printed, only 13 copies were available seperately as two were bound in the copies of 'The Compleatest Angling Booke' presented to his wife and daughter Elspeth. In the copy of this book given to his wife he notes "the whole of the text and songs composed, written and printed by me". The plates in copper were done by his brothers George and Thomas, his sister Mary Elizabeth and William Chapman.
