Decorated with headbands, tailpieces and initials throughout; title page bordered with type ornaments or flowers. "These, together with the type selected, are intended to give a slightly oriental flavor to the volume, indicative of the Syriac and Hebrew sources of the text on which the King James translators based their classic version" (William Targ, in "The Making of the Bruce Rogers World Bible," pp. 10-11, quoting Bruce Rogers in the prospectus). Each cover of this massive volume is gilt stamped with a design by Rogers showing the symbolic eagle associated with the pulpit; the upper cover eagle is surrounded by four Old Testament signs, while that on the lower cover is surrounded by the symbols of the Four Apostles. The second lectern Bible designed by Rogers, and with its publication, "he has perhaps achieved his crowning masterpiece . for this work is a major contribution to the glory of American art" (ibid.," p. [20]). A remarkably well-preserved, near fine copy, its contents clean and bright, its covers with only a few scattered and faint short scratch marks; slipcase is unevenly sunned (not affecting the book) with light wear at one edge and some scratches on one side.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. Hardcover. One of 390 copies, initialed by Stanley Morison, the British typographer and historian of printing, at the end of the preface. This magnificent book is among the most famous examples of 20th century fine printing, and one of the finest volumes designed and produced under the supervision of…Bruce Rogers. Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli (sometimes Paciolo) (1445 - 1517) was an Italian mathematician, educator, and Franciscan friar. He wrote one of the earliest compendia of mathematical knowledge to be reproduced on a printing press. He popularized the system of double accounting for keeping financial records and is often known as the father of modern accounting. He was a close friend of Leonardo da Vinci. The text is drawn from the Franciscan friar's larger text De Divina Porportione. The Grolier Club had previously published Albrecht Dürer's and Geofroy Tory's alphabets in editions designed by Bruce Rogers in 1916 and 1927. This beautiful work is included in A Century for a Century as Number 34 in its celebration fine printing in the 20th century. Although the book was printed at the University Press in Cambridge, England for The Grolier Club, it was very much the project of Bruce Rogers. It was noted by John Dreyfus, the esteemed book designer and historian of printing, that this book by Rogers was unsurpassed for its format, paper, inks and presswork being in such impeccable harmony. Joseph Blumenthal, the American printer, typographer, and book historian called the title page of the book as one of true grandeur, unique in the whole history of the printed word. Bound in vellum backed brown and cream patterned paste paper covered boards with gilt titling to the spine and gilt top edge. Printed in red and black on Batchelor's handmade paper and illustrated throughout with Pacioli's alphabet. Frontispiece of Fra Luca De Pacioli printed by Emery Walker Ltd. Illustrations, frontispiece, and title page are protected with tissue guards. With the bookplate of Julia Parker Wightman (1909-1994). She was a prominent American bibliophile and collector, and one of the first women to be admitted to The Grolier Club. Her collection was bequeathed to the Morgan Library. A fine copy lacking the glassine cover and slipcase. Measures 8.25 x 12.25 inches. 100 pages plus preface and index. PRI/102924.

Two volumes, the Bible one of 975 copies, elephant folio size, [942] pp., [and] Making of the Bible number 178 of 1875 copies, quarto size, [41] pp. The second folio Bible designed by Bruce Rogers, this time for an American publisher (his first was the "Oxford Lectern Bible…", published in 1935), using the King James Version. No other book designer / typographer from the history of printing can claim to have designed two complete folio Bibles, each one highly regarded. Bruce Rogers (1870-1957), American typographer who invented the "Centaur" tyepface (based on the Renaissance-period printing of Nicolas Jenson), is considered by many to be one of the greatest book designers of the twentieth century. He designed books for the Riverside Press, Cambridge, when he cut his first typeface, "Montaigne," named for the first book it appeared in, "The Essays of Montaigne," 1903; he designed "Centaur" while working as house designer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1916 he worked for the Cambridge University Press, and a few years later returned to the U.S. where he met William Edwin Rudge and was employed by him at his Mount Vernon Press. During this time he also designed books for Harvard University Press and served as typographic advisor to Lanston Monotype. In 1928 Rogers returned to England where he produced what many have called "the most important and notable typographic achievement of the twentieth century," being his Oxford Lectern Bible. The present work was done during his later years, but is no less formidable in both size and scope, and essential to any collection of his work. ___DESCRIPTION: Original publisher's red cloth, with gilt-stamped illustration to upper board, lettered in gilt to backstrip, top-edge gilt, (quarto volume in matching red cloth with similar gilt motif to upper board and gilt lettering to backstrip, with original glassine jacket and housed in a blue paper slipcase), numerous flourishes and initials, vintage bookseller ticket on rear pastedown; types used include Fred Goudy's Deepdene Italic, Forum and Oldstyle type, paper is 74 lb., 75 percent white linen rag paper from Barcham Green Mill in England, elephant folio size (19.25" by 14"); "Making of the Bible" quarto size (11.5" by 8.5"), pagination: Bible [i-vi] vii-xxii [xxiii-xxiv] 1-941 [942] [1 colophon]; Making of the Bible [1-4] 5-19 [20-41], limited first editions of both volumes, with the folio being one of 975 copies, and the accompanying quarto being number 178 of 1875 copies. ___CONDITION: A very good copy of the folio, with some professional restoration to the backstrip/joints, some minor rubbing at edges, the binding with only light dustiness, gilt is bright with a few rubbed spots, and the interior clean other than some minor soiling to the endpapers, free of prior owner markings, one very short closed tear to the upper margin of the dedication page to King James; quarto fine overall, with some extremely light wear to the joints at the head and tail of the spine, its glassine wrapper, alas, fair only as the spine has perished and we only have the panels/flaps, its slipcase very good plus, sturdy with some overall wear. ___POSTAGE: Please note that this is an extremely large and heavy book, and therefore additional postage will apply as the standard shipping charge will not cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

The work of one of America's greatest book designers, this is the attractive Riverside Press edition of FitzGerald's lush and lilting translation of a celebrated 11th century classic collection of evocative short verses. A work that appealed strongly to Victorian sensibilities, the "Rubáiyát," first printed anonymously in 1859, became immensely popular and went through a great many editions. The present connoisseur's edition was designed by Bruce Rogers and printed damp, with deep impressions of the type. The Indiana-born Rogers (1870-1957) was one of the leaders of the American typographic renaissance in the early 20th century. According to Blumenthal, "his greatness lay in the felicity of his brilliant manipulation of type and ornament, in his command of all the basic processes and their consummation in beautiful books--noble books that can be read with pleasure and owned with pride--not objets d'art to be stored behind glass." The present edition is no exception, with its restrained but attractive typography and thick, creamy paper.
