Seller: Boston Book Company

Title: JOURNAL OF A RESIDENCE IN ASHANTEE
Author: DUPUIS, Joseph
Seller: Boston Book Company (United States)
Description: 1824. DUPUIS, Joseph. JOURNAL OF A RESIDENCE IN ASHANTEE. Comprising notes and researches relative to the Gold Coast, and the Interior of Western Africa; chiefly collected from Arabic MSS. and information communicated by the Moslems of Guinea: to which is prefixed an account of the origin and causes of the present war. London: Printed for Henry Colburn, 1824. First edition. Illustrated with a folding map and fifteen plates, of which three are folding and one a double-spread. [2],viii,xxxviii,[2],264,cxxxvi pp. Quarto, untrimmed. Original binding; brick cloth spine and grey paper boards, with a printed paper spine label. Boards show general wear at edges and moderate soiling. The cloth spine is sunned and worn through in places, revealing a heavier cloth support below, and the label is chipped. Sporadic foxing throughout text leaves, mostly in the margins, with occasional soiling; however, the foxing is moderately heavy on the opening and closing leaves. The plates show light to moderate foxing, and a few of the plates have some splitting at folds. One plate has an irregular closed tear at the inside edge of the plate. The map also has an irregular tear and is missing chip at the inside edge of the plate. Nonetheless, it is a scarce work, complete and in original boards. Lowndes calls it "a valuable work written by a man of talent." (Abbey 281).

Title: The First Crusade; The Deeds of the Franks and Other Jerusalemites..
Author: Somerset de Chair (Translator, Editor, Author of Introduction); Clifford Webb (Wood Engravings)
Seller: Swan's Fine Books (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: [Waltham Saint Lawrence]: The Golden Cockerel Press, 1945. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Webb, Clifford. One of 500 copies, folio size, pp. The Golden Cockerel Press came together in autumn of 1920, at a time when post-World War I society was ushering in a renaissance of creative minds, including another renaissance of the printing press as the artist's tool similar to that of William Morris and the arts and crafts printers of the previous century. The press worked with many notable artists including Eric Gill, Blair Hughes-Stanton, Robert Gibbings, and the artist for this work, Clifford Webb. Clifford Cyril Webb (1895-1972) studied art and is best known today for his wood engravings. He was a founder-member of the Society of Wood Engravers, and "was a prominent figure in the group of engravers whobrought about the revival of wood engraving in the 1920s, and benefited from the encouragement of Robert Gibbings and the Golden Cockerel Press" (n.b., quote from Webb's entry in Horne, "The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators", p. 437). Per the bibliographical entry for this work, "[i]t is surprising that no complete translation of this unique eye-witness account of the First Crusade had ever been published in England before. What the pilgrims did in their fervour of blind fanaticism 'to the glory of God' makes astonishing reading!" ___DESCRIPTION: Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in half vellum with orange buckram boards, gilt vignette on the front board of crusaders on horseback by Clifford Webb, top edge gilt, frontis one of five full-page wood-engravings bound in throughout, small title page wood-engraving also of crusaders on horseback, wood-engraving of a cockerel holding a crusader pennant in its beak on p. [9]; Poliphilus type on hand-made paper, folio size (12 3/8" by 7 3/8"), pagination: [1-4] 5-92 [1, colophon]. ___CONDITION: A solid very good copy, with clean boards, the vellum smooth and without wear, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a small mark on the vellum on the back board, light overall edgewear, the corners bumped but not rubbed. ___CITATION: Cockalorum 168. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
