Everard, John Artist`s Model; Second Sitting; Model in Movement; (1950s) 280 x 220; 6 cm shelf space; 3.3 kg Widely published in Britain, America and elsewhere, John Everard was one of the most admired mid-20th-century photographers of the nude, mainly female, figure. Over the years many painters, commercial artists and sculptors have been helped by his work. This collection of three of his books includes more than 3000 photographs, as well as a great deal of expert introduction and commentary by Everard and others. (1) Artist`s Model. The un-price-clipped dustjacket (35 shillings) is complete but extensively chipped and with 6 unclosed tears, the longest of which is 3 cm. Two corners of the grey cloth boards, with a gilt facsimile signature at the front and gilt lettering on the spine, are rubbed.The rest of the book - plain endpapers, 46 pp of text + 172 gravure plates, with from 1 to 12 images to a page - is unmarked and in very good condition. (2) Second Sitting. Similar to (1) except that the dust-jacket is price-clipped, the cloth-boards are blue, with the front panel lightly stained, and there are 26 pp of text + 172 pp of plates. (3) Model in Movement. Similar to (2) except that the dustjacket is better, the cloth-boards are red, with a small but heavy damp stain to the front and there are 190 pp of plates.

Robinson, Edward Biblical Researches in Palestine and the Adjacent Regions (vols 1 and 3 of second edition of 1856) 220 x 150; shelf space 9.5 cm; 2.1 kg In 1841, when Edward Robinson, then professor of Biblical Literature in the Union Theological Seminary in New York, first published this work, it was arranged in 3 vols, all devoted to his travels in 1838 with various companions and hosts. (One of his hosts in Cairo and Jerusalem was the Duke of Northumberland, to whom the work was dedicated). The volumes were compiled from the diaries of Robinson and his fellow-travellers. Fifteen years later the second edition (our version) was published, with the original 3 vols edited down to 2 vols. There was also a stand-alone work, vol 3, to cover the authors 1852 journey and available separately to those who had already bought the 3 vols of the first edition. This set is unfortunately missing the second volume of the second edition (in other words, half of the original 1838 journeys), and our reserve has been adjusted accordingly, as we have decided to offer the remaining 2 vols on their own both because of the difficulty of obtaining the missing volume and because of the importance of Dr Robinson`s work. Vol 1. xxx + 614 pp of text + 18-fold map by Henri Kiepert of Berlin of Lower Egypt and the Peninsula of Sinai, with an inset of Mount Sinai. Vol 3. xxx + 664 pp of text + 10-fold map, also by Henri Kiepert, of Palestine, Phoenicia and Coelesyria, with an inset of Jerusalem. This binding of both volumes has been repaired in a way that preserves as much of the original marbled endpapers as possible. The original matching marbled paper-boards and leather corners are rubbed but still attractive. The contents are complete, with all page edges marbled to match the boards. The volumes have no owner of other markings and are not ex-library. However, as is usual with these volumes, the contents are foxed almost throughout, though nowhere does the foxing detract from the legibility and attractiveness of the text or the maps. The serious Bible history collector without all Robinson`s volumes may at least temporarily be pleased to have these two volumes. Further images - of the maps and otherwise - will be supplied on request to prospective bidder. [GOLD MEDAL FOR THE AUTHOR. In the `advertisement` for the new edition, Robinson writes: `The publication of the Biblical Researches was received with unexpected favour. In 1842, the Royal Geographical Society of London awarded to it their Patron`s Gold Medal.` There was much other praise as well and the volumes were `permitted to take rank as a standard work in relation to the Holy Land`.
