Jones, Owen The Psalms of David [The Victoria Psalter]. 1861-2. Folio, full Relievo binding, sometime rebacked retaining elements of original spine; 104 chromolithograph pages (with signs of later restoration with later facsimile print of work and other restoration). idem Book of Common Prayer. John Murray, 1845. 8vo, full vellum, boards with broad ecclesiastical borders enclosing central gilt cross, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, inner gilt dentelles, blue endpapers, a.e.g.; with illuminated chromolithograph section titles, borders, vignettes, initials and ornaments by Jones, other illustrations, printed in various colours. First Owen Jones edition for Murray. Jones was a hugely influential designer, architect, artist and book publisher, who was a guiding influence on the later Arts and Crafts movement. He was one of the earliest producers of chromolithographs in Britain and a leading light in the development of colour theory. He is also intrinsically linked with the brief history of the relievo binding process through his ecclesiastical works. This style of binding was intended to evoke the heavy carved wood tracery and decoration of English churches and his Psalms, immensely popular in its day, was one of the last of this style produced. The BCP was a sumptuous expression of John Murray's experiments with colour and a critical success for its striking design. Alas, in common with so many critical successes it was a commercial failure, but today is considered amongst the most important of Jones' commercial works.Psalter sometime rebacked with loss, some cracking, rubbing and bumping to binding, internally restoration and some staining to early pages, variable dusty marking to rest, however still a striking and powerful book. BCP binding worn, wtih cracking to joints and dusty marking, internal evidence of water damage with some marginal staining, also foxing etc.

Private Press Gill, Eric The Four Gospels. Folio Society, 2018. Folio, org. red cloth, upper board and spine lettered in gilt, upper board with central gilt angel after Gill, t.e.g., grey silk marker, in slipcase; floriated and inhabited initials and headers by Gill. Coverdale, Miles The Book of Psalms. The Haymarket Press, 1930. Folio, full parchment; 8 facsimile reproductions of folios from Queen Mary's Psalter, floriated initials (first ten initials later coloured). Limited ed. of 875 copies, this one unnumbered. The Private Press movement of the early 20th-century found frequent inspiration in the Bible, few more so than Gill, whose sensuous and disturbing figures show a very personal inspiration. The Haymarket Psalter instead opts for a faux-medievalism, with decorative initials and rubrication, but still maintains the cleanliness of line which typifies the style of such presses. [2]

Lover of Peace and Truth [P.A. (attrib.)] The Character of An Honest Man; Whether Styled Whig or Tory, And his opposite, the Knave. Printed for Randal Taylor, 1683. Folio, pamphlet loose in quires; pp. 16, 13-16 [agrees with ESTC]. The terms Whig and Tory entered British political vocabulary around 1681 (initially being borrowed from Scottish and Irish politics). They came to refer to those supporting the Exclusion of the Catholic James, Duke of York (Whigs) and the Royalists (Tories) who supported him. This came to mean more generally those in support of Parliament over the Monarch, and those supporting the obverse. The pamphlet recognises that some might be confused by the terms and introduces the reader to them at the start, bemoaning the fact that much as 'the Name of a Christian is become too general to express our Faith', so to it is necessary to sub-divide Protestants into increasingly arcane ''Schisms, Factions and Divisions''. Political and religious division is then discarded as the author seeks to show how one should act and speak, whatever your beliefs. The pamphlet finishes with ''Reflections'' on ''the Character of a Popish Successor'' by arch-versifier for hire, Elkanah Settle. ESTC R24674

Mayall, John Jabez Edwin Series of Photographs of Eminent Men. Messrs Marion & Co., 152 Regent St., 1862. Seven albumen prints after photographs by Mayall, all flush mounted to captioned card mounts, five signed and dated 1861 in the negative, 6 in original paper wrappers printed with title details, all signed by subjects on the mount, all contained in likely original folio folder. The seven photographs comprise: Prince Albert, the Prince Consort - this photograph was taken two months before Albert's death from typhoid and is likely the last taken of him. After his death the picture was hugely popular, with 70,000 of the carte de visite ordered from Mayall. W.E. Gladstone; John Russell, 1st Earl Russell; Edward Smith Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby; Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux; John Singleton Copley, 1st Baron Lyndhurst; John Bright Mayall was a devoted believer in the photographer as artist. He used his background in chemical dye works to continually refine the process of Daguerreotypes. He was a pioneer of allegorical photographs and his work led him into a friendship with Turner, with whom he exchanged ideas on light and shadow. It was the Great Exhibition though which propelled him to the forefront of British photography. After this, his portrait work was in high demand and in 1860 he was called upon by the Royal Family. These pictures made his name and fortune, as he was granted the rights to sell the pictures as cartes de visite. The photograph of Albert comes from this period and was likely his most famous and desired print.

[Oldham, John] Garnets Ghosts, Adressing to the Jesuits, met in private Caball, just after the MURTHER of Sir Edmund-Bury Godfrey. [London, 1679]. Folio, later leather-backed marbled boards; pp. 4 (last with tape restoration). First printing, later published in Four Satyrs upon the Jesuits. The work plays upon contemporary fears of a Popish plot, as fuelled by the self-described informer Titus Oates. Godfrey was the magistrate chosen by Oates to take possession of his papers, supposedly describing a Catholic plot to kill Charles II. After taking Oates and Israel Tonge's depositions Godfrey became erratic and paranoid. He became convinced he would be assassinated. Unlike other paranoids, he was indeed killed in one of England's most enduring unsolved crimes. Godfrey would be found dead in a ditch on 17th October 1678. He had been strangled, and his neck broken, before his dead body was impaled with Godfrey's own sword. He had died 4-5 days before he was found. Oates used the murder to further his own anti-Catholic agenda - three men would be executed on the dubious confession of a Catholic servant of the Queen - but its generally believed the three were innocent. Whatever the cause of his death, his ghost was a convenient dramatic figure, appearing to various Catholic figures (including the Earl of Danby and the Pope) in service of the anti-Catholic hysteria which Godfrey's murder engendered. ESTC R32248, Wing O235 With The True Protestant Lettany, [1680]. An anti-Catholic poem inspired by the same fervour which surrounded Godfrey's death. [2]
