Cloth Bound. Condition: Good. Good hardcover clothbound copy, xiii + 165 pp, 8 4/C plates and 56 B/W plates.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP, 1925 on the Title Page). You can see the covers in the photos. There is soiling and/or toning on the front and rear. The spine is leather. The gilt lettering there is very bright and free of wear. The spine ends have some crinkling and tiny tearing. The cover edges look okay, a little smooth rubbing here and there, a tiny scuff. The edges are pretty decent, a little rubbing, only the rear bottom one has a speck of rub-through. The bottom page edge has a few spots of tan soiling. The book is square. The spine is straight. The binding is quite solid from cover to cover. I found one instance of a thin space between facing pages, the two blank front endpapers. Both pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. The covers are nicely tight. The inside covers and endpapers are a light green. They look pretty good, the rear end paper has a little bit of toning. There is a small gift store label off the bottom edge of the rear cover, white and blue, a picture of a wrapped gift and I think an elf or an angel, cute. In very good shape. The company is E. H. Pusey in New York. There are no other attachments to be found anywhere in the book. The pages have some spotting/foxing. I would describe it as light to moderate, the light part once you get past the early pages. The half-title page and title page, as well as the, copyright, dedication, and contents pages are moderately to heavily spotted/foxed, in part a reaction to the glossy color frontispiece, which ironically is free of any foxing or spotting and has only a light amber hue at its margins. In front of the frontispiece is a tissue guard with a two paragraph description of the frontispiece. The print on it is blue and it is in very good shape. The plates begin after the text ends. The last few pages of the text are a List Of Illustrative Plates, each one being described. And before each plate (59 numbered plates, to be found in a section at the end of the book, and excluding the frontispiece) there is a page (not a tissue guard) giving a short description of the plate, with some of it repeated from the aforementioned list. The text pages facing the plates (the plates are on glossy paper) have foxing/spotting just off their top and outer edges. The plates, here, as was the case with the frontispiece, don't have what you would recognize, or I would recognize, as spotting or foxing. Rather they have an amber hue, restricted to their white margins, not the plates themselves. It looks like toning, that's what it looks like, not unattractive. The plates all appear to be in excellent condition. The text pages, putting aside the varying amounts of foxing, are in quite solid shape. I'm not seeing any soiling that I would distinguish from the foxing. And I'm not seeing any creasing. That's a clear positive. Nor are there any markings, and, as mentioned just the one attachment, and no names, no writing of any kind to be found anywhere.

"It is to enable readers to recognise the artist-workman by his work on specimens of Old Derby Porcelain, whether in their own collections, in the museums, or in the dealers' shops, the sales of old china, or wherever else the chase, the thrilling pursuit, of such specimens may take them, that this work is written. And to a Collector how much this knowledge increases not only the interest, but also the value, of an old Derby piece. One may have a beautiful old picture, or a fine statue, which may be something which is charming and artistically satisfying; but if one knows not the artist or the sculptor, it has lost nine-tenths of its interst and value. The examples illustrated here are selected for the most part with the same object; many from the Author's collection." (preface).

Hardbound. Red embossed cloth with gilt letters on spine & front cover, top edge gilt (TEG). xviii, 165 pp. 64 plates, 8 in colour & 56 half-tone. "In the following pages the author attempts to look at the history, manufacture, and decoration of Old Bow Porcelain from an altogether new point of view. He has tried to break away from preconceived ideas, often unconsciously followed, accepted without examination, and stereotyped by successive writers on the subject. He has attempted to show the action and reaction, the percussion and repercussion, of the two great London porcelain factories, Bow and Chelsea, on each other and on their prosperity and productions; on their respective bodies and glazes and decoration. Attention is drawn to the fact that the prosperity and importance, the ability and success, of the one waxed and waned in proportion to the decline and resurgence of the other. This phenomenon explains much that is otherwise difficult to understand in the history of both factories. He has endeavoured, it is hoped not without a measure of success, to shed new light on the origin of the Bow factory; to demonstrate the importance and extent of its artistic manufactures, till recently so much underrated; to trace the sources of their inspiration. If in doing this last he must hurt the natural pride of English collectors by showing the overwhelming influence of the Saxon modellers on English Ceramic Art of the eighteenth century, he is sorry; but his conception of the duty of the searcher and enquirer into exact knowledge is Truth, whether agreeable or otherwise." (preface) So there! Includes extensive annotations on the 64 plates, done separately from the plates themselves. A nice copy of a classic work.
