London: Gresham, (1910). Cream cloth octavo, 52 color plates, after paintings by E. W. Haslehurst, 64 pp. of text. This series provides an affectionate glimpse into the scenes and places that keep Britain close to the hearts of anyone that has been there, either in fact or hopeful intent.

The central ornamental device on the front cover consists of a shield with a stylized coral Tudor rose and sharply geometric dark green foliage. The rose is repeated on the spine.The endleaves again give testament to the influence of Talwin Morris and C. R. Mackintosh with Glasgow roses, arrow- shaped leaves, recatangles and linear borders. The binding has some soil, light wear and a small stain on the spine. Still, a pleasing copy of a handsome book.

Ruskin, John. UNTO THIS LAST.
London: George Allen & Sons, (1909). A superb Art Nouveau binding with a strong Arts and Crafts influence, with a tantalizing link to John Ruskin. This slim 16mo of 199 pages is bound in full calf of deepest burgundy with a cover design in gilt of a stylized trellis with six repeating squares containing a single blossom and foliage, repeated on the spine. All edges gilt. This superb little volume contains some of Ruskin's most penetrating essays on the nature of Man, originally published in the Cornhill Magazine. Affixed to the front pastedown is a presentation notice explaining that John Ruskin had revived "..an Old-World ceremony (at Whiteland's College) of The Crowning of the Queen of the May and dignified the occasion by presenting a beautifully wrought gold cross, to be worn by the Queen. He also gave many purple calf-bound volumes of his work to be distributed to her subjects. Since his death, the quaint old ceremony has been kept up, by a few of those who knew and loved him, in the spirit in which it was instituted, and in honour of his name." The May Day ceremony remains the most important event of the year at Whitelands. This book was presented to Daisy Cooke, Queen of the May, 1912. Ruskin ws one of the most important Friends of the College, donating hundreds of books and pictures to the institution. He persuaded Edward Burne-Jones to design windows for the College chapel and William Morris to make them. Aside fom a trace of wear to the spine extremities, this is a very fine copy indeed of a very special edition. Ruskin died in 1900 and although there is no binder's mark, we believe this copy was specially bound in deepest purple to carry on the tradition of the May Queen.

(Crane, Walter) Townsend, W. G. Paulson. EMBROIDERY OR THE CRAFT OF THE NEEDLE.
London: Truslove & Hanson, 1907. A small octavo of 309 pages, bound in the original green cloth. Aside form a name in ink on the front freeendpaper which is quite unobtrusive due to the gray marbled paper of the endleaves, this is a fine copy. The book retains the rare decorative dust wrapper with a lovely Art Nouveau ornament and titles printed in black on heavy olive green stock. The dust wrapper is soiled on the spine, otherwise it is exceptionally bright and unchipped. Originally published in 1899, this book was written in response to the contemporary demands for a useful handbook on the art of embroidery. In his preface, Walter Crane discusses the "remarkable revival of the arts and handicrafts of design" and embroidery as "..that most delicate and charming of them all." The book is illustrated with a colored frontispiece and many black and white plates, including several by Walter Crane and one of a tapestry by Edward Burne-Jones. The book remains a very informative work on needlecraft as well as making a fine addition to any collection of books representing the Pre-Raphaelites, Walter Crane or the Arts and Crafts period of design.

Kansas City, Mo.: American Sash & Door Company, 1927. Quarto. Published by The Universal Catalog Bureau in Dubuque, Iowa, this catalog was available to trades people of the day and would be printed with each company's name on the cover and title page. Bound in original brown cloth, 356 pages, including index. Profusely illustrated with black and white, half-tone and color illustrations of Arts and Crafts bungalow interior and exterior elements, as well as more traditional styles.

The Universal Design Book, No. 25, with its wide array of quality materials for home construction was distributed by many lumber and building companies, the binding stamped with the company's name and logo. These fine products that were the "standard choices" of the day reveal the woeful group of look alikes offered at modern DIY stores as the pathetic elements that they are, both aesthetically and with regard to the quality of construction. Although the date of the book is a bit past the generally accepted boundaries of the Arts and Crafts period, " Mission Style" is on abundant display in inglenooks, bookcases, china closets, doors, stairways and more. Sun porches with rustic furnishings are pictured and the garden is considered with illustrations of trellises and seating. Aside from some light rubbing to the extremities, this is a fine copy.

Nielsen, Kay Grimm, The Brothers. HANSEL AND GRETEL AND OTHER STORIES BY THE BROTHERS GRIMM.
London: Hodder and Stoughton, (1925). A folio, exquisitely bound in finely textured ivory linen with powerful pictorial cover and spine designs executed in gilt and turquoise blue. Top edge gilt. This is NUMBER 202 OF 600 COPIES ONLY, SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. There are twelve color plates by Nielsen tipped into the book. There is a curious line of discoloration which crosses the front board. Some wear to the extremities and a bit of soiling, else a very handsome copy indeed. The artist was born in Copenhagen in 1886. He chose an artistic life after leaving the pursuit of medicine, preferred by his family. His artistic pursuits were varied and passionate and his life ended in "the wilderness that was then Hollywood..in obscurity in 1957." He worked for a time for Disney, contributing the marvelous "Night On Bald Mountain" sequence to the wonder of Fantasia. In Christopher Finch's massive work on Walt Disney, Kay Nielsen's name is never mentioned. Several murals that he did in Los Angeles have been destroyed. This book resides in the lofty company of the work of some of the most celebrated and sought-after illustrators of The Golden Age of Book Design. ( Larkin 4)

Nielsen, Kay. EAST OF THE SUN AND WEST OF THE MOON.
London: Hodder and Stoughton. There would be little dispute to the claim that this book holds one of the highest positions on the pinnacle of modern book illustration. The combination of binding, illustration and text found in Kay Nielsen's masterwork has met few challenges for the crown since its publication in 1914. A large quarto bound in dark blue cloth with commanding Art Nouveau cover and spine designs and titles in gilt. The book has 206 magnificently printed pages with 25 mounted color plates by Nielsen, each with captioned tissue guard. Supporting the full page plates are many black and white textual vignettes and decorative borders setting off the handsome wide margins. The pictorial endleaves are strikingly printed in midnight black embellished with gilt. This copy has the following minor faults: A small brown stain on the bottom of pp. 92-93, a smudge on the mounting and plate on p. 112. The binding is worn at the tips of the corners and there are a few faint spots on the front cover. Still remaining a satisfying copy of of one of the most important books of the twentieth century.

This facsimile was not reprinted and it is now becoming a bit of a collector's item in its own right, owing to the premium price commanded by the rare first edition.

(Morris, Talwin) Davidson, C. R. THE BOOK OF THE HOME EIGHT VOLUMES.
London: Gresham, (1900/01). Uniformly bound in dark turquoise cloth with exquisite Art Nouveau design of stylized peacocks by Talwin Morris on both front and rear covers and spines executed in sage green, cream and gilt. This set is highly desirable, with the text affording an extaordinary range of information regarding the organization and running of a fine home at the turn of the last century, the bindings providing a superb example of the brilliant aesthetic qualities that came to be known as "Glasgow Style" with many illustrations representing the Arts and Crafts period of design including, architectural, landscaping and interior details. Each volume has a frontispiece in full color representing elements of fine living, with four of the plates illustrating fully furnished rooms designed by the well-regarded London firm of S. J. Waring and Sons. Waring, along with Liberty, was one of the leaders in offering the new and rather radical designs of the Arts and Crafts movement to the public. Three of these frontispieces, The Nursery, The Morning Room and The Dining Room are quite amazing in their detailing of stencilled walls, carpets, pottery and fabrics as well as furniture. Liberty & Co. is also represented in the set. Aside from browning to the grey endleaves and a bit of very minor foxing and edgewear, this is a superb, bright set..difficult to find with all volumes present and in fine condition. (Scans available upon request.)

(Architecture and Design). M. H. TILTON FURNITURE COMPANY.
Lincoln, Nebraska: (1927). Oblong folio, (14.5" by 10.5") 221 pages, bound in a scrap-book style similar to large fabric and wallpaper sample books. Maroon cloth over boards held together with brass screws. Trade catalogs of American furniture are far more difficult to find than house plans. It is most unusual to find one of this size, with this range of items. Obviously intended to be used as a sample book by a retail establishment, rather than as a promotional mailer to individuals. The book is organized in seven sections, each with a heavy card cover sheet listing the category and page numbers of the section with printed tabs for easy reference. One of the tabs lists "Congoleum" but there is no material about the floor covering included and the page number has been left blank, indicating that part of the catalog had yet to be printed, rather than removed. There are the expected oversuffed chairs and turned spindle table legs..but a substantial portion of the sample book is dedicated to Arts and Crafts and Mission style. Of particular interest relating to bungalow decor are twenty-seven pages of "Fiber Reed Goods" featuring outstanding wickerwork furnishings and lamps for sunporches. The finishes available for these settles, chairs, swings, lamp bases and shades, et al, are delectable. "Satin Finishes: Natural, Fumed, Nut Brown and Green" and "Enamel Finishes: Old Ivory, Frosted Brown, Frosted Mahogany, Cafe au Lait, Royal Blue, Chinese Blue, Bronze and Blue, Bronze and Green, Black and Gold and Verdi Copper." The last section of the book is dedicated primarily to "Baby Cabs" and Toys, including wicker carriages and strollers. Fine illustrations of cycles, metal cars, wagons and scooters. The binding has quite a bit of staining and wear, including some fraying of the cloth but both covers are complete and totally sound. The name of the firm is bright and clear against a background of metallic silver. The last reference tab is chipped and the others browned, else the contents are fine. The M. H. Tilton Company, founded in 1886, sold furniture and floor coverings to the trade from their location at 6th and L Streets, Lincoln, Nebraska. A rare and fascinating trade catalog with a wide range of appeal! (Extra Postage Required)
