Title: The Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier [with] Life and Letters of... (Artist's Edition in 9 vols.)
Author: Whittier, John Greenleaf
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin and Company, The Riverside Press, 1894. First edition. Fine. Number 440 of 750 sets. Bound by the Riverside Press in full crushed olive morocco, spines uniformly faded. Nine volumes (6 x 8 1/2 inches) occupying approximately 16 1/2 inches (42 cm.) of shelf space. Top edges gilt. Raised bands and gilt floral patterns in the spine compartments and corners. Full inner red morocco doublures (with gilt decorations) red silk end papers. Bound with an autograph letter from Whittier tipped into the first volume. Each volume with two frontispieces, one in color. A lavish production overall. Illustrated throughout with plates, portraits and photogravures by Howard Pyle, Frank T. Merrill, Frederic Remington and F.O.A.C. Darley, among others. A Fine set. In the long struggle to abolish slavery, John Greenleaf Whittier became one of the most influential voices. "A highly regarded poet of the 19th century, he was enshrined in the pantheon of 'Schoolroom Poets' along with William Cullen Bryant, Ralph Waldo Emerson...and Oliver Wendell Holmes" (Poetry Foundation). His Quaker belief in tolerance and his friendship with activist William Lloyd Garrison combined to make both the poet and his poetry fiercely abolitionist. And indeed, in seeing the appeal of Whittier's poetry, Garrison enlisted his friend to publish on the cause's behalf and shift the tides in New England, where the abolitionist position was still unpopular. Here in a lovely binding, beautifully illustrated, are a selection of the works which made Whittier such an influential voice in his own time. Fine.

Profusely illustrated with copperplate engravings in text and thirty-one additional folding plates depicting architectural details and ornamentation with descriptive text. Fowler: "From the point of view of the practical architect this Course d'Architecture was the best work of its kind yet issued and soon superseded François Blondel's Course d'Architecture, and was unrivaled until the publication of J. F. Blondel's work of the same title in 1771-1777." Fowler: "Vignola, another of the great protagonists of the Italian Renaissance, was as influencial in France, as Palladio was in England. There were numerous editions of his work, (39 of which are in the Fowler Collection)." Vignola, along with Serlio, Palladio and Scamozzi, comprised the four distinguished architectural theorists of the sixteenth century. Beginning as a painter, Vignola took up drawing, then architectural delineation and perspective; using these skills he drew many of the antiquities of Rome. Those endeavors had considerable influence on his designs. Vignola composed two architectural treatises, one on perspective and another on the Five Orders. Among the many important commissions Vignola enjoyed, his selection to complete St. Peter's Basilica in Rome after the death of Michelangelo stands preëminent. Text in French. Front and back cover with few light scuffs along top edge of front and back cover. Inked names on top of inside cover and front free endpaper. Some staining along edges of inside back cover and endpaper. Some age-toning of some plates along edges. References: cf. Fowler 32 (first ed. 1691).
