Description
1857. LOGAN, James and MCIAN, Robert Ronald. The Clans of the Scottish Highlands. London: Willis and Sotheran, 1857. Two volumes. Folio (11 by 15 inches), publisher's full red pebbled morocco, elaborately gilt-decorated spine and covers with Scottish motifs, raised bands, all edges gilt. $11,500.Second edition of the first illustrated encyclopedia of traditional Scottish tartans, with two chromolithographic heraldic frontispieces and 72 vibrant, hand-colored lithographic plates after the celebrated paintings of Robert Ronald McIan. An excellent copy in splendid publisher's deluxe morocco-gilt.Initially an aspiring actor in London, Robert Ronald McIan eventually abandoned the stage to develop his gifts as a painter. Today, he is best remembered for the vibrant and dramatic illustrations of Highlanders in their tartans that fill these volumes. McIan's art, supplemented by text from scholar and journalist James Logan (author of the landmark The Scottish Gael, 1831), helped fuel the Victorian public's fascination with Scottish costumes, particularly following the 1782 law prohibiting the wearing of Highland dress. Very popular at the time, McIan's Clans is still considered the finest example of a large number of works on the subject. First published 1845-47 by Ackermann and Co.; this Willis and Sotheran edition is essentially an identical reissue of that earlier work with an altered letterpress title page, published shortly after McIan's death in 1856. Hiller, 550. Tooley 322. Houfe, 219. See Colas 1892. Armorial bookplate in each volume.Occasional light spotting; hinges and spines expertly refurbished. A handsome copy in excellent condition.

Lithographed poster, 19 x 25 inches; Take to the A.Y.H. Trail. Northfield, 1939: American Youth Hostels . Lithographed poster, 17 x 22 inches; Hostellers Know...Northfield, 1939: American Youth Hostels Inc. Lithographed poster, 17 x 22 inches. All are signed “Isabel” in images. Excellent condition overall, with some toning small chips and various wear to margins, but overall quite well preserved. Near Fine. Isabel and Monroe Smith, a married couple from Northfield, Massachusetts, started the American Youth Hostel movement in 1933 after gaining inspiration from Richard Schirrman’s German Hosteling Organization. The movement grew quickly, with thirty hostels operating throughout New England within the first year. The first hostel was the Northfield Chateau, a large mansion on Birnham Road that was eventually demolished in 1963. The network of chaperoned hostels created the opportunity for safe bicycle-based travel, as shown in the posters offered here. Offered here are three early posters from the movement, designed by Isabel Smith, each with her signature in the image. All posters are variations on the cycling theme. One of them states that “When the grand day’s bicycling is done… no fare can compare with the Royal ‘Hostellers’ Own.” Smith’s design aesthetic is quite accomplished, and we are surprised to find no examples of these in institutional collections. Overall a visually compelling group, uncommon.
