About This Item
London: Wyman and Sons, 1895. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Corners bumped, some light staining and wear to binding, intermittent foxing. 4to. 16 plates by G. J. Pinwell and J. North. Original quarter green morocco, red cloth, gilt-lettered on front cover. First edition. The dedication copy, inscribed by co-author Harry Quilter to dedicatee Maria Theresa Earle on the front flyleaf: "Maria Theresa Earle with the Author's Kind Regards. May 1895." The printed dedication reads: "To Maria Theresa Earle, in Memory of a Certain Day at Deschamps Gallery in the Year 1876, these Notes are Dedicated by the Author." The work typically appears in wrappers, and therefore this is presumably a gift binding made for the dedicatee. Mason (1818-1872) was considered one of the greatest of the idyllic painters of England. Pinwell (1842-1875) was also a member of the Idyllic School and excelled at drawing on wood for book illustration.
