The Poetical Works of John Milton in Vellucent Binding With Introductory Memoir, Notes, Bibliography Etc.
London Frederick Warne and Co. 1897 Premier exemplaire. Un très bel exemple de reliure Vellucent par Cedric Chivers of Bath (et signée à l'intérieur de la planche arrière). Plein cuir bleu foncé, avec un joli motif de couronne Art Nouveau. La partie supérieure est ornée d'une petite incrustation de nacre et la décoration est dorée sur le pourtour. Le motif est net et bien défini. Il y a un petit frottement / décoloration aux coins des planches. Le dos présente une simple décoration dorée. Le bleu du dos s'est considérablement estompé pour devenir marron. Toutes les tranches sont dorées. Il s'agit toujours d'un très bel exemple du travail de Chiver. Le livre est l'"Albion Edition" des uvres poétiques de Milton, avec un frontis du poète. 608 pages. Un bon exemple propre des poèmes de Milton. Chivers a mis au point la technique de la "reliure en velours". Un dessin est d'abord peint sur du papier, puis recouvert d'une fine couche de vélin traitée et donc translucide. Chivers a breveté sa méthode en 1898, et notre exemplaire a donc été produit à cette époque. Cet exemple montre deux des embellissements supplémentaires de Chiver, avec un petit morceau de nacre et des détails dorés. 200 x 140 mm
First Thus. A very nice example of a Vellucent binding by Cedric Chivers of Bath (and signed to the rear inside board). Full dark blue leather, with a lovely Art Nouveau wreath design. This has a small Mother of Pearl inlay to the top and is gilt decoration around. The design if clean and well defined. There is a small rubbing / discolouration to the corners of the boards. The spine has a simple gilt decoration. The blue of the spine is significantly faded to a brown. All edges gilt. Still a very nice example of Chiver's work. The book within is the "Albion Edition" of Milton's poetical works, with a frontis of the poet. 608 pages. A good clean example of Milton's poems. Chivers developed the technique of "Vellucent binding." First a design was painted on paper and covered with a thin, treated and thus translucent layer of vellum. Chivers patented his method in 1898, so our example was produced around this time. This example shows two of Chiver's additional embellishments, with a small piece of Mother of Pearl and gilt detailing. 200 by 140mm (7Ÿ by 5œ inches). .
