Description
London: Collins, 1938. First edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. A Near Fine copy in like dust jacket. Black cloth printed in white on the spine. Book with slight foxing to the closed textblock and a previous owner's name on the front pastedown. Dust jacket entirely unrestored and is not price clipped. Minor chips and tears to the spine ends and corners, but a sharp copy overall. A beautiful copy of White's most famous book, his modern interpretation of the Arthurian legend (based on Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur). Adapting Arthurian legend for modern readers, White provided Arthuriana fans with a backstory on the childhood and education of the boy who would become king. Tracing Arthur's youth and training with Merlin, the novel also put the young hero in contact with other familiar Medieval figures including Robin hood. Basis for the beloved 1962 Disney film of the same name and a classic of modern literature in its own right. "The single finest fantasy novel written in our time, or for that matter ever written, by any conceivable standard must be T.H. White's" (Carter). Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

Description
Tralee, Ireland: Churchhill House Press, 2007. Hardcover. New/Sealed. light blue cloth boards. 349 pgs w/ illustrations. pictorial dustjacket. Michael Stapleton (1747-1801) was the most skilled stuccodor working in the neoclassical or ‘Adam’ style that dominated Dublin interior decoration in the final decades of the eighteenth century. Although the astonishing quality and variety of Dublin’s eighteenth-century decorative plasterwork has long been celebrated, this is the first full length exploration of Stapleton’s work. It publishes for the first time the remarkable collection of drawings from his workshop which are held at the National Library of Ireland. Conor Lucey’s study of Stapleton’s career presents new research drawn from a broad range of sources and examines the collection of designs within the broader context of neoclassical stuccowork in Dublin, considering it as evidence for the late eighteenth-century plastering trade in general. Working outside of the established guilds, by virtue of his Catholic faith, Stapleton created one of the most successful decorating and house-building practices in Dublin of the period and designs for many of the city’s most notable late eighteenth-century interiors are included here, including studies for Trinity College, Belvedere House and Powerscourt House. Over the years Stapleton’s name has been erroneously attached to many Irish interiors with which he had no involvement. This important publication attempts to define more closely the nature of his decorative neoclassicism, and establish his oeuvre more accurately. More generally, its offers a fascinating account of the many forces at play in how the Irish Georgian interior was created.---.
