![Bremner, F[rederick] Types of the Indian Army: Illustrating the Races Enlisted in the Bengal, Punjab, Madras & Bombay Armies.](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/db6b26b8-b86f-48f9-a1c6-a92900aa3753/e73a4b72-5606-4165-e36d-04a42a3abbb3/468x382.jpg)
Bremner, F[rederick] Types of the Indian Army: Illustrating the Races Enlisted in the Bengal, Punjab, Madras & Bombay Armies. Quetta: F. Bremner, 1897. Oblong folio, publisher's half-morocco gilt; 60 mounted carbon prints with printed captions. Bremner was one of hundreds of British photographers who set up in Indian cities during the height of the Raj. Unlike other photographers his work remains important, because he worked in Baluchistan and Sindh, rarely photographed, and over many decades. He first came to India from Banff in Scotland in 1883 to work with his brother-in-law and opened his own studio in Karachi six years later. He became successful enough to open studios in Quetta, Baluchistan and Lahore and Rawalpindi. In 1810 he opened in the vibrant city of Simla. His military photographs are especially prized, marked by the quality of the plates and the detail of his compositions. He captured uniforms, equipment, transport and living conditions of the troops on location, giving them a realism sometimes lacking in posed shots. His books were sold to order making them hard to trace today. The word ''Types'' in the title of this series refers not to the roles of the regiments shown, but rather the races and religious creeds of the soldiers. The book is divided into four sections - the Bengal, Madras and Bombay Armies (the Presidencies) and the Punjab Army. Many famous regiments (whose descendants still serve India) are featured - such as the Bengal Sappers and Miners - but also irregular forces and garrison artillery, showing the breadth of the armies of the time.Some spotting to plates, mostly marginal affecting mounts, occasionally affecting images.
Macklin Bible The Holy Bible, embellished by the most eminent British artists. With historical prefaces…For T. Cadell, by T. Bensley, 1824. Folio (4 vols). Contemporary black hard-grained morocco, boards richly panelled in gilt and blind, spines with low raised bands gilt, compartments scrolled in gilt, lettered directly in gilt in two and at foot with Macklin's name, wide inner dentelles decorated in gilt and blind all round, yellow doublures and endpapers, gilt edges, wide embroidered blue markers; 76 engraved plates, large engraved head- and tail-pieces throughout. First edition thus. A re-issue of the sumptuous Macklin Bible (1800), with the original plates and new prefaces by Edward Nares (1762-1841), Regius Professor of modern history at Oxford. The first three volumes (dated 1824) correspond to Macklin's original six. The last volume of Apocrypha is dated 1816 which is when the supplement was issued to Macklin's original work. Macklin's impressively illustrated Bible, printed in dramatic large type, drew the artistic talents of de Louthenbourg, Hamilton, Opie, Cosway, Benjamin West and Richard Westall, along with Fuseli, Kauffman, Reynolds and Stothard. It almost bankrupted the publisher, who never lived to see its success. He died exhausted (aged 47) just five days after the delivery of the final engraving. It ''endures as the most ambitious edition produced in Britain, often pirated but never rivalled''. (ODNB). A little wear at extremities, very occasional light spotting, vol. I sig. 3R short closed tear affecting text, vol. IV water-stained in lower margin mostly not affecting text, an excellent set.
Gill, Eric (illus) The Four Gospels of the Lord Jesus Christ. Folio Society, 2007. Folio (2 vols). Gospels facsimile in full black morocco, upper board blocked in gilt after Gill's design for the living creatures of the Evangelists in a blind-blocked frame, spine lettered directly in gilt, all edges gilt, black marker; Commentary in buckram-backed boards with paper title label on upper board; both in black clamshell box. Limited edition numbered 2740/2750. A deluxe reprint of the legendary Golden Cockerel edition of 1931. The Gospels are widely considered one of the most beautiful books printed in the twentieth century, rivalling the Kelmscott Chaucer and the Doves Bible. They were perhaps the Press' finest production - as well as one of the most successful private press books of the century. One of the contributing factors to the beauty of the book is the holistic design. Robert Gibbings, owner of the Press, would write in the Book Collector (Summer 1953) that he ''would send [Gill] the proofs and on these he would build his designs, fitting his figures to the spaces determined by the type and allowing his fancy to spread into any quarter that offered itself''. That Gill designed images, typeface and layout ensured a rarely-equalled unity of conception. The Commentary comprises John Dreyfus' essay on 'Eric Gill and the Golden Cockerel Type' and Robert Gibbings' 'Memories of Eric Gill' reproduced from The Book Collector. An excellent facsimile of a rare masterpiece.
Leighton, Clare The Farmer's Year. Collins, 1933. Oblong folio, org. cloth, in unclipped dj; 12 woodcut plates, each month with decorative initial capital and 6 with woodcut tail-piece. idem.

Victor Gollancz, 1937. 8vo, org. cloth, in dj; numerous woodcut illus. by Leighton. Illustrator and writer Clare Leighton was best known for her wood engravings. During the 1920s and 1930s, as the world around her became increasingly technological, industrial, and urban, Leighton portrayed the vanishing lives of rural working men and women. Contemporaries like Sir John Squire praised her work, Eric Gill saying that ''...no one in our time has succeeded better than Clare Leighton in presenting the noble massiveness and breadth of the life of the earth on a scale so grand.'' idem. The Musical Box. Gollancz, [1936]. Oblong 4to, org. boards, decorative endpapers; coloured illus.Jacket dulled and torn, with some loss to foot of spine, board edges sunned, also foot of spine where jacket lost, however apart from occasional very slight foxing and a couple of margins a touch dusty, a clean copy internally.
