 BOBINS Library, Norman R. - Christine THOMSON
The Exotic and the Beautiful the world in colour.The collection of colour plate books from the library of Norman R. Bobins
London: Countrywide Editions Ltd, 2005. 2 volumes, large quarto (12 9/16 x 9 7/8 inches). Numerous coloured illustrations, many full-page. Original red boards, backstrips and upper covers lettered in gilt, dust-jacket, both within a single red paper-covered slip-case.
An important new reference work on colour-plate books, with detailed information on almost 800 titles
This beautifully-produced descriptive and bibliograpical catalogue of the Bobins collection is wider ranging than any of its predecessors: Tooley is limited to books with hand-coloured plates produced in England, and Prideaux and Abbey narrow the field still further by only including works with lithographed or aquatinted plates. As the title of the present work suggests, the only criterium for inclusion in the present work is that the plates be coloured. The result is that in addition to some new information on well-known works, this important new reference tool also includes the only accessible record for a number of rare works that deserve wider recognition.

 CHIVERS, Cedric (binder). - Charles HOLME (editor)
The Genius of J. M. W. Turner, R.A.
London, Paris and New York: Offices of 'The Studio', 1903. Quarto (11 3/8 x 8 1/8 inches). Mounted coloured frontispiece, one 2pp. facsimile autograph letter, numerous plates (15 coloured), the majority after Turner. (Occasional spotting). Contemporary brown morocco gilt by Cedric Chivers of Bath, the covers with a gilt-ruled border, the upper cover with a central circular inset vellucent panel featuring the title in blue within a shaped art nouveau border of stylised rose blooms amd foliage, the inset panel surrounded by gilt tooling to an art nouveau design with flowing gilt lines, rose flower-heads and small hearts, the flat spine with an overall design using the same rose and small heart tools with the title in gilt, gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers.
A 'Studio special number' on Turner in a fine binding by one of the great British binders of the time.
Chivers developed the vellucent technique in about 1903: a drawing is produced on paper, attached to the boards of the binding and then covered (and protected) by a layer of transparent vellum. The present example very successfully combines the possibilities offered by the vellucent technique with the traditional discipline of gilt tooling. The Studio , an important magazine devoted to the arts, would periodically offer 'special numbers', often monographs on individual artists, as here. The present work, edited by Holmes, is made up from a group of four essays on different aspects of Turner's genius by Robert de la Sizeranne ("The oil-paintings of Turner"), Walter Shaw Sparrow (Turner's monochromes and early water-colours" and "The later water-colours") and C.F. Bell ("Turner and his engravers").
