PLOUGH PRESSThe Wakeman family collection of Plough Press books and pamphlets, comprising the near complete output of the Press (seemingly lacking only one pamphlet, 'Law & Ordure 1969. A Squib'), many illustrated with actual specimens of printing, most with prospectuses and other related ephemera inserted or loose in folders, together with correspondence etc., various bindings and sizes, 1968-2017Footnotes:The Plough Press was founded by Geoffrey Wakeman in 1967, the name deriving from a collection of blocks of ploughs brought back from Trinidad by Roderick Cave, and used in the first book issued by the press. 'Wakeman was a noted professor of printing history, author, and printer, and his work on papermaking, color illustration and printing processes, and binding techniques remains a lasting contribution to the study of print culture... The first book printed by the press was Share of Ploughs (1968), consisting of a series of color prints of plows with accompanying verses about plows and plowing. The first major Plough Press publication was XIX Century Illustration (1970). It describes sixteen printing processes with accompanying contemporary specimens. Such leaf books became a regular feature of Plough Press publications, as Wakeman believed the only way to properly study the history of paper and printing was by examining actual specimens' (University of Delaware website).

Culliford, Encombe, 1710', ornamental corner-pieces, spines tooled in 8 compartments within raised bands, t.e.g., worn, some scuffmarks to sides (obscuring some letters of text on 2 panels, one with small area gouged out), losses to extremities of spines, folio (445 x 280m.), Oxford, at the Theatre, 1707[-1703-1704]; together with a manuscript indenture, with seal, signed and dated 10 December 1669 by Robert Culliford of Encombe, relating to dealings with Sir William Constantine of Morl, John Tregonwell of Anderson, and Thomas Baynard of Cliffe (4)Footnotes:QUEEN ANNE BINDINGS MADE FOR A DISTINGUISHED DORSET FAMILY, CELEBRATING THEIR LINKS TO CLARENDON AND THE ROYAL CAUSE. Provenance: William Culliford (c.1640-1723), gilt lettered 'W. Culliford 1710' on sides, with large contemporary letterpress label inside each volume, 'Part I. [-II-III]. All the parts of the Earl of Clarendon's History, bequeath'd by my will to my son John Culliford and his Heirs Male for ever, are to remain in this House of Encombe, in perpetual Memorial of the Unhappy Rebellion begun in 1641, and the sad and miserable effects is produced in this Kingdom.... Dated the 20th of September 1710. Will. Culliford'. Loosely inserted is a 2-page letter written, circa 1760, by another William Culliford to an unidentified recipient relating to these books and several paintings, contesting a claim that the recipient had either been gifted them by Culliford's father, or purchased them at auction. He demands 'that you will send me the Historys by the next... stage, and if you insist upon being paid for them... you shall be paid whatever a Bookseller in Southampton shall value them at...'.Culliford 'was the younger son of Robert Culliford (1617–1698), of a Dorset gentry family, and his wife, Elizabeth Lawrence. His father, a somewhat tepid royalist in the civil war, was a cousin of Lord Chancellor Clarendon, though whether this was the cause of William's first appointment, as an excise surveyor in 1666, is not known. His promotion to a more responsible post as register of seizures in the customs took place after Clarendon's fall...' (ODNB). Amongst other notable positions Culliford represented the seat of Corfe Castle, Dorset in Parliament between 1690 and 1699. The books did remain at Encombe, as shortly after William's death the estate was sold to the Pitt family.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
