Bergamo.- Bellafini (Francesco) and Marcantonio Michiel. De Origine et Temporibus Urbis Bergomi...Agri et Urbis Bergomatis Descriptio, 2 parts in 1 vol., collation: a-e8 f4, text in Latin, fine italic type mirroring that of Ludovico Arrighi, initial spaces with guide-letters, final f. blank, some staining, spotting, or finger-marking, a few ff. in second work lightly browned, contemporary pre-binding limp boards, strengthened with 2 section of a 14th century vellum ms., majority of backstrip missing, worm trace to upper board, lightly soiled, with wide margins, small 4to (213 x 157mm.), Venice, [Giovanni Antonio da Sabio and brothers], May, 1532. ⁂ First editions of these works on Bergamo, which are rare at auction. The Venetian patron and art historian Michiel never completed his work, and so it is here edited by Bellafini. Bellafini's own work was later translated into Italian and this first guide to Bergamo became the first book printed in that town. Literature: Adams B481; Lozzi 316; EDIT 16 CNCE 4851.

Mendoza Binder.- Cicero (Marcus Tullius) Rhetoricorum..., collation: *8, **8, a-k8, l4, m-z8, A-G8, H10; [16], 245, [1] ff., complete with blank leaf **8 blank, Aldine device on title and at end, blank spaces for capitals with printed guide letters, some light foxing, title slightly water-stained, early Latin and Greek marginalia, contemporary Venetian binding by Andrea di Lorenzo, known as the Mendoza Binder, of brown morocco over pasteboards, covers within multiple blind and gilt fillets, rosettes at each corner, central gilt corner-pieces and large fleuron, upper cover lettered in gilt 'm.t.c. rhetoricor.', spine with three double raised bands alternated with four single bands underlined by dotted fillet in gilt (widely restored), compartments decorated with blind-tooled floral frieze, 19th-century endpapers and pastedowns, blue edges, 4to (212 x 123mm.), Venice, Aldus Manutius's heirs and Andrea Torresano, October 1521. ⁂ The second Aldine edition of the rhetorical writings of Cicero, in a copy with a distinguished provenance, and marvellously bound by one the best and most sought after Venetian binders, Andrea di Lorenzo, known as the 'Mendoza Binder' after his principal client Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. He was active in Venice between 1518 and 1555, and his decorative patterns and innovative style were very influential, inspiring generations of binders in France and Germany. The binding can be dated back to the Mendoza Binder's first years of activity and the decoration is identical to another copy of the Aldine Cicero of 1521, now preserved in the John Rylands Library in Manchester. This is a binding with a decorative scheme used by the Mendoza Binder almost exclusively for editions issued by the Aldine press between 1518 and 1526, "made either for display and sale in the bookshop employing him or to be ordered through it" (A. Hobson, Renaissance Book Collecting, p. 99), most of them commissioned by Jean Grolier, the 'Prince of Bibliophiles'. "The commonest pattern [...] consists of a gilt rectangular frame, rosettes and leaves at the corners, often a smaller leaf in silver at the outer corners, with the title gilt at the headcap of the upper cover. Customers might have their name or initials added at the foot of the same cover. Other stock patterns involved massed arabesque leaves, fleurons, bud-tools, large open fleurons, or a circle containing a title. Of the fifty-two recorded instances of these stock bindings on books printed before 1526, all but five, or over 90 per cent, are on Aldine Press books, mostly printed by Aldus Manutius' successor" (ibid.).

Jean Grolier and Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, their Books and Bindings, Cambridge 1999, pl. 48 (for an identical binding). Provenance: Joaquim Gomez de la Cortina, Marquis de Morante (1808-1868; Hans Fürstenberg (1890-1982), Charles Filippi (ex-libris of each on recto of front endpaper).

There were scores of large pages, a few thousand signatures, and virtually every royal house in Europe from about 1890-1925 was represented. Entire royal families, each with their own page or two, plus some groups interestingly mixed, jumped off the sheets, but one page struck me immediately – the entire family of the Tsar had signed, including Anastasia and the rest of his children. This was not merely a rarity – it was al-together unique and we couldn´t believe our eyes. We bought the album and lovingly researched it; many a time I´ve wished I had it back”.

See Swinton, Dr William Elgin, Monsters of Primeval Days, London, 1931; see also, same author, The Dinosaurs - A Short History of a Great Group of Extinct Reptiles, London, 1934 wherein many of the drawings, models and dioramas created by Edwards are published, described and illustrated (the author at the Natural History Museum, London, 1924-1961 later Director of Life Sciences, Royal Ontario Museum, Canada, died 1994").Vernon Edwards is credited as being one of the most talented and influential dinosaur model makers of the 20th century. His work has appeared in museums and galleries around the world; it was a major influence on movie producers and early special effects creators, particularly when films such as The Lost World and King Kong began to showcase dinosaurs as part of the increasingly popular ‘monster movies’ of the 1920's and 30's. Edwards was born in 1891 into a naval family and attended Weymouth College. In 1914 he joined the navy and served throughout World War One; after the war he found it difficult to adjust to civilian life and, among other professions, tried his hand at farming. His greatest passion was model making, being self taught in art and anatomy, and it was whilst staying with family in Sussex in the early 1920's that he met Dr F.A. Bather, Keeper of Geology at the British Museum. Dr. Bather was impressed by the detailed and accurate models that Edwards was producing and asked him to produce a series of prehistoric models for the British Museum (Natural History), now known as the Natural History Museum. Vernon Edwards was given access to the museum's collections and scientific monographs, so the models he produced were up to date reconstructions which were then authenticated by Dr. Bather and later by Dr. W.E. Swinton for scientific accuracy. His major work for the Museum was a series of dioramas which graced the 'Fossil Fish' gallery until the late 1970's.The models proved to be very popular and many museums around the world would order them to highlight their growing and increasingly popular collections of paleontological specimens; the largest collections in the UK can now be found in Bolton Museum and the Horniman Museum, London. At this time Edward’s work would also go on to be used for cigarette cards, as well as appearing in many popular magazines, such as The Illustrated London News and The Listener, but it was the publication of The Dinosaurs: A Short History of a Great Group of Extinct Reptiles, by W.E. Swinton, the first serious dinosaur book ever produced, that would place his work at the forefront of academic and popular imagination.Commercial production of the models was time-consuming, which made the models expensive, so very few were produced other than for museums. Being of plaster they were also fragile, so very few outside well-conserved museum collections survive undamaged. The items in this collection are a selection of original sketches and paintings by Vernon Edwards, master models from which moulds were taken, and stock models produced for sale by Gregory Bottley & Co.M.E.
