Gay and Bird. London. 1901 and 1903. TWO VOLUMES. Small 8vo. (5 x 2.9 inches). Publishers leather bindings. Portrait frontis to each volume. Original full embossed tan calf bindings with decorative art nouveau design to both boards and spines. All edges gilt. A very attractive pair of early twentieth century bindings.


The Bibelots books were a series of classic texts that were well printed on quality paper in a small format and published between 1899 and 1907. There were 29 titles published in total and they were popular books to be given as gifts, with the publishers offering a choice of bindings to suit all budgets, from decorative paper wraps, cloth and up to these delux relievo bindings. The bindings were designed by Herbert Cole and have the initials H C in the title panels. The series appears to have been influenced by the mini Mosher books that were very popular in the US in the 1890's and early 1900's.

Cherry on front flyleaf. 1927 Half-Leather. iv, 325 pp. 8vo. No binder's ticket, but appears to be a contemporary custom rebinding: blue leather spine and corners over blue cloth, gilt titles and rules, top edge gilt, new end sheets. "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them.
