Scottish poet James Thomson's The Seasons is a four-part pastoral poem, inspired by Milton's narrative blank verse, consisting of Winter (1726), Summer (1727), Spring (1728) and Autumn (1730). This edition brings all four together with a brief biography of the author. The poem would inspire painters and musicians, including Gainsborough and Bach, and would be translated into French and German; it was also at the center of in two legal disputes over publication copyrights. The Austro-Hungarian -born, Joseph Zaehnsdorf (1816-1886) trained with binders in Stuttgart and in Vienna, before moving to Germany, Switzerland, France, and eventually settling London. He working for various shops before opening his own bindery in 1842. In the face of industrializing production Zaehnsdorf embraced craft and eventually gained recognition for his talent. He was known for his precise finish and elegant design. The firm would continue in his son John William's capable hands; it employed binders like Louis Genth, Roger de Coverly, and Sarah Prideaux. Family run until 1947, it was eventually acquired by Asprey of London in 1983 (Gertz). Near Fine.
