Dublin: Printed by and for George Grierson, printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty, at the King's Arms and Two Bibles in Essex-Street, 1733. With 52 engraved plates on heavier paper, by Elisha Kirkall (1682-1742), printed at London by John Clarke. Hardcover. Fine. An extremely rare Dublin imprint in a contemporary Irish binding. The publisher, George Grierson, husband of the Irish author Constantia Grierson (1705-1732). ESTC locates only 2 copies (British Library, National Library of Ireland.). Bound in ornately tooled contemporary red goat with onlaid cream paper lozenges against a ground richly decorated in gold with birds, feathers, crowned thistles, stars and fleurs-de-lys, divided into compartments with pointillé stipling. Spine with leather onlays in black and citron, elaborately tooled in gold. Board edges and turn-ins also with gilt tooling. Corners lightly bumped, several areas of the boards abraded. With three tools (bird, fleru-de-lis, star) very similar and possibly identical to Craig, Irish Bookbindings, no. 41 (printed by Grierson's successor, Boulter, in 1765) See also Maggs catalog 1075, "Bookbinding in the British Isles", no. 169. However, as Craig notes, "It is quite possible that the Dublin die-sinkers were capable of cutting two or more tools so similar as to deceive all but a scrutiny based on physical proximity of two volumes on which different tools were used." "Notwithstanding that white inlays are found in French, Swiss and English bindings before the Irish period, and that there exist contemporary imitations of Irish binding, the popular belief that any binding with a lozenge-shaped white inlay is Irish, is broadly true. Though I know of no non-Parliamentary example before 1737, the binding of Lords 1697 (Plate 1) seems to have had such an inlay. Yet, since Lords 1697 may not have been bound much before 1737, it is possible that the genesis of the style occurred at about that time. The lozenge is one of the few obvious motifs for the decoration of a cover, and was of course exploited in the Grolier period. But it is at least possible that the Irish lozenge is in part a development from the harleian centre-piece. The commonest Irish bindings are Prayer-books of the 1750's, 1760's and 1770's, or almanacks of the 1770's, 1780's and 1790's, of lozenge-inlay type. "It is convenient to use the term 'inlay', though in fact it seems that no Irish example of a true inlay is known. Strictly, they are all 'overlays'. At least three-quarters of the white or cream examples are of paper. There is no correlation whatever between the richness of the binding and the use of leather in preference to paper. The Royal set of the Statutes, for example, has them in paper, while the Rothschild-National Library set, done for some (inevitably) less exalted personage, has them in leather. In the very finest of the Parliamentary bindings they are usually of paper, as appears from the fact that the wire- and chain-lines emerge clearly in the rubbings. It need hardly be observed that good hand-made paper is, in such a position, capable of being as durable as leather."(Irish Bookbindings 1600-1800) The series of prints by Elisha Kirkall (1682-1742) is numbered 1-52. In addition to Biblical scenes, there are three historical prints: "The [Gunpowder] Plot, November 5", "King Charles I. Murthered", and "King Charles II, His Return". The first plate shows King George II and bears the publisher's information (John Clarke, London).

1972. First Edition. Signed. VENTURI, Robert. SCOTT BROWN, Denise. IZENOUR, Steven. Learning from Las Vegas. Cambridge, Mass.: The MIT Press, (1972). Folio, original full blue cloth, photographic onlay, original glassine dust jacket. $6000.First edition of this revolutionary book of architecture, signed by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. With rare original glassine dust jacket.Architect Robert Venturi, city planner Denise Scott Brown, and architect Steven Izenour's manifesto expressed their critiques of the plainness of modernist architecture, and extolled the virtues of a different aesthetic in which architects were more receptive to the tastes and values of average people. ""The target of Venturi's attack is Mies van der Rohe's formula 'less is more', a phrase coined to denote a form of aestheticised functionalism. Venturi's response, illustrated by historic examples, is 'More is not less', or, in a particularly aggressive formulation, 'Less is a bore'. Venturi sets out to put his experience of Mannerism and Baroque to the service of a new concept of architecture by returning to the complexity in form and substance, of these two styles; at the same time his experience of contemporary Pop Art turns his thoughts to the everyday world of the consumer society"" (Kruft, 440). The influence of this work extends far beyond architecture: it is credited with inspiring the post-modern movement in art and literary and social theory. This first edition includes a section on the architectural work of the Venturi and Rauch firm, and more and larger photographs than do revised editions. Without errata slip. Book fine, fragile glassine dust jacket with creasing, shallow chipping to extremties with no loss of text. A near-fine signed copy of a landmark work in postmodern architectural theory.

Description
London: J.M. Dent & Co, 1907. Second (and best) trade edition. Large quarto. Original green cloth stamped in gilt. Pictorial endpapers. Mild wear, spine mildly sunned, but still an excellent copy in a later tan pictorial dust jacket printed in black. Twenty-four color plates tipped-in on brown stock with captioned tissue guards, twelve tinted plates, and sixty-six drawings in black and white. With the bookplate of Maude M. Monell on front paste-down. Written under the nom-de-plume of clergyman Richard Harris Barham, The Ingoldsby Legends was a collection of myths and ghost stories that blended humor with the grotesque. Largely composed in rhyme, the stories emphasize figures such as saints and gods; and they were published to delight a Victorian audience increasingly interested in sensationalist gothic literature. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper (1892). Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Latimore and Haskell 30-31. Riall 83.
