Publishers' Binding Thursday

Today's Publishers' Binding Thursday book was found while simply browsing our stacks—and what a find it is! This is Poems, Dramatic and Lyrical by English poet, coin enthusiast, and botanist John Leicester Warren, Lord de Tabley (1835-1895). It was published in London by Elkin Mathews (1851-1921) and John Lane (1854-1925) at the Sign of the Bodley Head and in New York by Macmillan and Company in 1893. The book features five engravings by British artist, illustrator, and printer Charles Ricketts (1866-1931) and the bookplate of John Leicester Warren designed by Scottish artist William Bell Scott (1811-1890). Warren had an interest in bookplates and became an authority on them.

The binding was designed by Charles Ricketts, possibly with help from someone with the initials H.L.S. (or those initials in another order). Ricketts's initials and those of the mysterious H.L.S. are stamped in gold in opposite corners of the covers—C.R. in the top left and H.L.S. in the bottom right. The cover features in the upper righthand corner an angel inside of a golden heart holding a lyre made from wings and a heart. Surrounding this is a pattern of repeated rose petals, which to us look a bit like teeth or hot air balloons. The book cloth is a leafy green color that on our copy has either been glued unevenly or has become rumpled with time.

The adoration of the shepherds by Jan Havicksz. Steen, Museum of the Netherlands

Jan Steen (1626 - 1679). Aanbidding der herders, ca. 1660.Teder toont Maria de pasgeboren Jezus aan de herders. Massaal zijn ze naar de stal gekomen met allerlei geschenken. Eerbiedig kijken ze naar het stralende kind in zijn krib. De stal, waarin os en ezel prominent aanwezig zijn is in duister gehuld. Maar buiten kondigt de dageraad zich aan, een verwijzing naar het tijdperk dat met Jezus' komst aanbreekt. Jan Steen maakte van dit bijbelverhaal een puur menselijke gebeurtenis. Er is dezelfde humor en warmte te vinden als in de taferelen met alledaagse onderwerpen: zoals Jozef die een schaal met eieren in ontvangst neemt; of het kind links dat wat pap wil opwarmen. Afkomstig uit o.m. verz. H. Witsen (Amsterdam) en Lord of Tabley. Aankoop 1947.

[bornbetweentwosigns]

My heart is vext with this fantastic fear,— Had I been born too soon or far away, Then had I never known thy beauty, dear, And thou hadst spent on others all thy May. The idle thought can freeze an idle brain Faint at imagined loss of such dear prize; I pore upon the slender chance again, That taught me all the meaning of those eyes, But creeps a whisper with a treason tongue— Hadst never sunn’d beneath this maiden’s glance Another Love thou hadst as madly sung, For Love is certain but the loved one chance. Deject and doubtful thus I forge quaint fear, But question little, Love, when thou art near.

By Lord de Tabley (John Byrne Leicester Warren) (1835–1895), '

My heart is vext with this fantastic fear’

[noncomposmentisx-blog]

Like a proud music that draws men on to die Madly upon the spears in martial ecstasy, A measure that sets heaven in all their veins And iron in their hands.

The March of Glory, Lord de Tabley
