Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Apatite, the most abundant phosphate on Earth, is ubiquitous in the lithosphere and in vertebrates of the animal kingdom. Because it forms large colorful crystals, this toothsome mineral is among the most prized species populating mineral collections worldwide. Commonly confuse…d with other minerals, Apatite takes its name from the Greek word άπατάω, meaning 'to deceive.' This collector's compendium explores in luscious color the science, history, localities and culture of Apatite - the Great Pretender. William W.

Hardback. Condition: Good+. Original green buckram gilt, lettering and vignette in gilt to front board and spine both designed by Jessie M. King; vignette again in blind to rear board. A little mild marking to boards and wear to board and spine edges; top board corners pushed in. Spine slightly darkened and mildly cocked. Top ed…ges gilt, bottom edges untrimmed. 8vo (14.4 x 20.5cm). Offset browning to free endpapers. Rear endpaper cracked at gutter; rear hinge very slightly tender. Front endpaper uncracked. Five illustrations, incl frontis with tissue guard, by Jessie M. King. Engraved title page and vignette to colophon also the work of King. Mild scattered foxing, also affecting plates. Slight offset browning to title page. Front free endpaper inscribed by Jessie M. King: 'To Prof. Fred. Yorke Powell, with the sincere regards of the illustrator. Jan. 1903'. Frederick York Powell (King slightly misspells his surname), 1850-1904, was Regius Professor of Modem History at Oxford. Known as a translator of Icelandic sagas and an authority on medieval literature, he can also be 'usefully situated within fin-de-siecle networks of artists, folklorists, poets and scholars' (Howsam, 2021, Yellow 90s 2.0, UWindsor); he invited Verlaine and Mallarme to Oxford, published translations from Omar Khayyam, was an avid collector of Japanese prints, served as president of the Irish Texts Society, in 1902 went to Liverpool to speak in support of the endowment of Celtic Studies in the university, and in 1904 was made President of the Folklore Society. He was thus firmly embedded in the same milieu as King, whose illustrations for Fitzgerald's translation of Khayyam were published in 1903, and who shared York Powell's interest in the folkloric, Celtic, and fantastic: 'influenced by a Gaelic-speaking nursemaid with a fund of folklore, Jessie believed herself gifted with âsecond sightâ and her art was inspired by fantasy' (ODNB). 1902, the year Jephtha was published, saw several landmarks in King's early career: she won a gold medal for a cover design at the Turin exhibition of Decorative Art (which secured her the commission for Jephtha, her first book illustrations for a British publisher), as well as joining the Glasgow School of Art as an instructor in book illustration. King's work on Jephtha shows her own connection to specifically Scottish cultural networks: A. Gordon Mitchell, who produced translations of both Buchanan's original Latin dramas, served as minister of Killearn, Buchanan's birthplace and the neighbouring parish to New Kilpatrick, where King was born and where her father was the minister. A scarce early work by King, inscribed by her to another significant figure in the turn-of-the-century cultural sphere. Robust packaging. Tracking is always added to USA orders. It can be added to other overseas orders on request. Used books are exempt from USA tariffs. 1st edn. Inscribed by illustrator. Hardback. Size: 130pp. Inscribed by illustrator.

Contact seller5-star sellerSmall Octavo. xlvii, 290 pages, 9 unnumbered leaves of plates, illustrations by Jesse M. King whose illustrations are much like those of Aubrey Beardsley, with frontispiece and vignette title by A.S. Hartrick. Bibliographic references and index. W. B. Yeats reminds twentieth-century readers that Spenser's "genius was pictorial"…(p. xx); that "he seemed always to feel through the eyes, imagining everything in pictures" (p. xlvi). These passing remarks echo a popular evaluation of Spenser's poetry that extends back to the time of Pope. Bound in brown cloth decorated in orange and gilt, spine and top edge gilt, spine a but darkened, some off-setting to fee end sheets most likely from binder's glue, and some light rubbing to rear board. A very good copy.
