Title: Twelve original character studies from David Copperfield
Author: Dickens, Charles; Kyd (pseudonym of Joseph Clayton Clark, illustrator)
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: [n.p., London], 1893. Original artwork. Near Fine. Twelve fine original pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings illustrating David Copperfield, signed by the artist. Quarto (11 1/4 x 8 7/8 inches; 286 x 225 mm). Done on fine laid paper. Original blue wrappers with "12 Original Character Studies from 'David Copperfield' Drawn in colors by 'Kyd'" in ink manuscript on front wrapper. Wrappers expertly repaired. Housed in a green cloth portfolio. Near Fine. Kyd has faithfully recreated some of the immortal and lovable characters from one of Charles Dickens most famous novels. The characters of the novel here represented are David Copperfield; Mr. Creakle; Uriah Heep; Betsey Trotwood; Mr. Micawber; Mrs. Micawber; Tommy Traddles; Mr. Murdstone; Daniel Peggotty; Ham; Mrs. Gummidge and Mr. Dick. Joseph Clayton Clark aka "Kyd" (1856 - 1937) worked as a freelance artist with a particular affection for Dickens, his Dickens illustrations first appearing in 1887 in Fleet Street Magazine, with two collections soon to follow: The Characters of Charles Dickens (1889) and Some Well Known Characters from the Works of Charles Dickens (1892). In the first decade of the twentieth century, five sets of postcards based on his Dickens drawings were published, and seven sets of non-Dickensian comic cards by him were issued. Beginning in the 1920s, he earned his living from watercolor sketches, mainly of Dickens' characters, which he sold to and through the London book trade. Frederic G. Kitton gives him early notice in his classic text, Dickens and His Illustrators (1890); Kyd's watercolors were at that date already being avidly bought by major Dickens collectors (Kitton, p. 233), the Cosens sale in 1890 successfully selling a collection of 241 of Kyd's Dickens watercolors, and Mr. Tom Wilson, at the time the foremost collector of Dickens, possessing 331 of Kyd's drawings. "As a character 'Kyd' emulated those of Dickens and his own illustrations - slightly larger than life. In his style and dress he was mildly flamboyant for the period...He seldom varied his attire from a grey suit, spats, homburg hat, gloves and was never without a carnation or substitute flower in his button hole" (Sawyer, "Kyd" (Joseph Clayton Clark): A Preliminary Study of his Life and Work, p. 7).

Title: Mr. Wallers speech in Parliament, at a conference of both Houses in the painted chamber. 6. Iuly 1641
Author: WALLER, Edmunc
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Printed by J.N. [John Norton] for Abel Roper, 1641. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Woodcut device on title, woodcut initials and headpieces. Half-morocco and pebbled boards, title in gilt on spine; other than browning on the fly-leaf, interior excellent. From the Markree Library with its small book label on the paste-down. First edition, first issue, with “Eagle” spelled correctly in the imprint. Waller (1606–1687) was a poet and politician. He was incredibly wealthy and much admired in the court of Charles I for his poetry. He served in Parliament up until his exile in 1645. In July 1641, soon after the Long Parliament was called into session, Waller spoke to both Houses calling for caution and class solidarity among his colleagues and constitutional moderation. He specifically discusses the impending impeachment of a Royalist judge, Sir Francis Crawley (1574/5–1650). Crawley had argued that Charles’s implementation of taxes on ships was within the right of the king. However, the ship-money tax was a serious point of contention between Parliamentarians and Royalists, and Crawley was removed from his position. Waller, even though he supported the king, came out against the impeached judge stating that “he did not only only give as deepe a wound to the Commonwealth as any of the rest, but dipt his dart in such a poyson, that so farre as in him lay it might never receive a cure.” Despite this, Waller was eventually exiled for his role in the so-called “Waller’s Plot” that initially began as an act of passive resistance among the citizens of London but soon developed into a violent plan to raise an army for Charles I within the city.
