Engraved armorial bookplate to the verso of each front board for "Sir Gervase Beckett Baronet" and signed with the initials: "W.P.B." Binder's stamp to the verso of each front endpaper: "J & E Bumpus Ltd. 380 Oxford Street W." Clean text and illustrations throughout. VG. ** "Sir William Gervase Beckett, 1st Baronet (born William Gervase Beckett-Denison; 14 January 1866 24 August 1937) was a British banker and Conservative politician. He married Mabel Theresa Duncombe (1877 1913) and they had four daughters, one of whom married Anthony Eden, a British Prime Minister. His wife died in 1913 and he married again so, at the age of 52 years, he had a son." - See WPB Bookplates *** The company J. & E. Bumpus of Oxford Street in London, Booksellers to Queen Victoria, was a notable publisher of personal bookplates. Many of their designs from 1896 to about 1928 were engraved at the lower margin with the initials of William Phillips Barrett (1861-1938), a New Zealander by birth, who was the Manager of Bumpus's shop. Many designs of bookplates dated up to and including 1908 were signed ' W.P.B.'. By adding his initials to some 600 bookplates, he claimed the design when, in fact, most of them were designed by at least five skilled engravers: John Augustus Charles Harrison (1872-1954), Robert Osmond (1874-1959), Charles Brooke Bird (1856-1916), John Edward Syson (1856-1929) and George Ernest Vize (1865-1943). Barrett's job was to persuade clients to order a bookplate to be engraved and then printed by Bumpus, so he was a salesman." - See WPB Bookplates. Seller Inventory # 53072
