Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 17.58], [PU: [printed by Bradbury and Evans for] Edward Moxon, London], EBC7961.JPG, NOISBN, FINE LEATHER BINDING, Engraved frontispiece portrait by Finden and 20 engraved heapiece vignettes after J. M. W. Turner. First Edition. 8vo. [203 x 134 x 35 mm]. ix, [iii], 306 pp. Bound c.1900 by Lucien Broca (signed in gilt on the front turn-in) in green goatskin, the covers with a gilt fillet border. The spine divided into six panels by raised bands, lettered in the second and at the foot, the others tooled with a massed gilt pallet, the edges of the boards tooled with a gilt fillet, the turn-ins with two gilt fillets and small tools at the corners, green silk endleaves, gilt edges. (Spine and head of the front cover faded). A little light spotting or foxing but a very good copy. Inscribed in ink on the front fly-leaf: "Sarah Bancroft Clark. VIII.7th.1900. Our home coming". Sarah Bancroft of Wilmington, Delaware married Roger Clark of Street, Somerset on 18th June 1900. This edition is notable for the 20 fine vignettes after Turner. Campbell spent well in excess of £800 on the original watercolours (for which he paid Turner 25 guineas each) and on the engravings, 17 of which were by Edward Goodall, two by Robert Wallis and one by William Miller. By June 1838 Campbell reported that Moxon had sold 2500 copies of the edition. Lucien Broca was a Frenchman who came to London to work for Antoine Chatelin, and from 1876 to 1889 he was in partnership with Simon Kaufmann. From 1890 he appears under his own name in Shaftesbury Avenue, and in 1901 he was at Percy Street, calling himself an "Art Binder". He was recognised as a superb trade finisher, and Marianne Tidcombe has confirmed that he actually executed most of Sarah Prideaux's bindings from the mid-1890s., Books<
