Its novelty and light-hearted inventiveness, although scoffed at by amateur gothicists such as Horace Walpole and Thomas Gray, were just what many country squires wanted, prompting other architectural writers—William Halfpenny, T. C. Overton, and William Pain in particular—to follow Langley's lead' (ODNB).

Often compared in stature to the Gutenberg Bible, it is considered 'not only the most important of the Kelmscott Press's productions; it is also one of the great books of the world. Its splendor ... can hardly be matched among the books of its time' (Ray).Provenance: Private collection, Scotland.

Supported by colonial patronage, the firm published an estimated 5,000 titles in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Sanskrit and Hindi during Nawal Kishore's lifetime, while it also served as an intellectual hub for scholars, poets and literati. As one observer noted: "No other press in India was fortunate to have such a large number of huffaz, scholars, historians, writers and poets as were gathered simultaneously at this press"' (Ulrike Stark, 'Calligraphic Masterpiece, Mass-Produced Scripture: Early Qur'an Printing in Colonial India', in Reese, ed., Manuscript and Print in the Islamic Tradition, 2002, p. 158). Compiled in India in the 1820s by Ghiyas al-Din Muhammad Rampuri, the Ghiyas al-Lughat is considered 'one of the [most] authoritative dictionaries of the Persian language' (Encyclopaedia Iranica). It was probably first printed in Lucknow in 1847-8, and shaped the Persian lexicographical tradition during the 19th and 20th centuries.

John Clerk of Eldin (1728-1812), 'a true child of the Enlightenment' (ODNB) is best remembered today for his Essay on Naval Tactics (1790). 'Clerk was an exceptional amateur artist. His wealthy background afforded him the luxury of entertaining numerous careers, including medicine and business, and he also showed a considerable interest in geology. In the 1740s he began sketching alongside his brother-in-law, Robert Adam, and the artist Paul Sandby. Clerk travelled extensively throughout Scotland, recording a wide range of landscapes and ancient buildings. His sketches of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas are highly personal representations of his native countryside' (National Galleries of Scotland, online). The Bannatyne Club was an antiquarian printing society founded in Edinburgh in 1823 by Sir Walter Scott on the model of London's Roxburghe Club.Provenance: 1) Robert Graham (1785-1859), of Redgorton and Balgowan, advocate; 2) Thence by descent; 3) Lyon & Turnbull, 1st February 2005, lot 211.
