Faithfull Fleet, Emily (illus.); St. Nicetas, Bishop of Remesiana (text) Te Deum laudamus. London: Emily Faithfull at the Victoria Press, 1868. 8vo, org. blue cloth over beveled boards (corners restored with tape), boards with gilt fillet borders enclosing central crowned titles, in gilt on upper and blind on lower, a.e.g.; 29 chromolithograph plates and 9 pages of explanatory text. Second ed. Esther Faithfull Fleet was a book illustrator whose children included John Faithfull Fleet, a historian and Indologist; George Rutland Fleet, a successful actor; and Herbert Cecil Fleet, a Vice-Admiral. Her sister Emily was a driven advocate for women's advancement. She founded the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women in 1859 and followed this by setting up the Victoria Press in 1860. The Press only employed women as compositors (though with men to teach the process and carry out manual labour). Surprisingly, this did not sit well with the print union, who engaged in sabotage. The Press flourished, however, and its success led to Faithfull being appointed Printer-in-Ordinary to Queen Victoria. Te Deum Laudamus was dedicated to Victoria, with her permission. This is one of two books published by the Press that used chromolithography. Both were illuminated by Fleet, the other being 38 Texts. M. & N. Hanhart printed 38 Texts as well and were known early on for their chromolithography, having done the plates for Pugin's Glossary of Ecclesiastical Ornament. The book is a masterpiece of Victorian design, comparable to that of Jones and Humphreys. As with other 19th century arts, it sees art history as a broad palette, a visual dictionary to use as the text inspired. The result is a swirl of colours and symbols, merging Egyptian, Flemish, Celtic, Spanish and English medieval styles with contemporary ideas about colour. The book is simultaneously a proto-Arts and Crafts expression of Victorian Christian celebration and a potent symbol of women's struggle for elevation against Victorian society - ultimately recognised by the highest woman in the country.

Book of Common Prayer [BCP] Oxford: Printed at the Theater at Oxford, and are to be sold by William Leake at the Crown between the two Templegates in Fleet-Street, 16?8(?)[vide infra]. 4to, later red leatherette; unpaginated, signed: A4, B2, A4-L4, M2 [lacking K3-4]. Although the date on the title has an MSS correction to 1688, the prayer for the King's Majesty names Charles as monarch. The prayer for the Royal Family uses the form ''Queen Catherine, James Duke of York''. As such the text at least must date from between 1669 (when Queen Mary died) and 1685 (when James ascended the throne). Unfortunately, the book is closely shaved at the bottom edge, so it is difficult to be sure of the final digit in the date, however it would seem to be 168?. This does not fit the seller's name in the imprint however. According to Plomer's Dictionaries, William Leake died in 1681 and his name last appears in the Term Catalogue in 1679 (whilst in partnership with his son John, who set up as a printer betwen 1681 and 1693). It is possible that the final digit is a '0', which would make the date 1680, or the '8' may be a misprint. With Book of Common Prayer bound before Sternhold and Hopkins. BCP: Printed by Charles Bill, and the Executrix of Thomas Newcomb, deceas'd, 1707; Sternhold: Printed by W.B., for the Company of Stationers, 1706. 8vo, full calf, later sturdily rebacked with leather, boards ruled in gilt and panelled in blind; unpaginated, signed: a8-b8, c2, A4, B8-Y8, Z4; Sternhold: A4-G4. [2]16?8?: Variable marking, spotting and toning throughout, close shaved at foot, some tearing and creasing to edges generally not affecting text, marginal tear with some loss to foot of C1 affecting text, tear to inner margin of G4 not affecting text, short tear to inner margin of H3 slightly affecting text, restoration to I4 and K2, loss to foot of K affecting text with obvious later restoration. 1707: Sometime rebacked, leather cracking on boards but binding tight, slight cockling to pages, variable foxing, marking etc throughout, tear at head of E8 affecting text, slight worming at foot of inner margins of F7-G8, outer marginal tear of I1 not affecting text, brown marking to foot of T4 not affecting text, diagonal band of yellow-brown suggestive of water damage across pages of Sternhold with slight mould to last four leaves.
