  (Baskerville, John) Milton, John PARADISE LOST. A POEM IN TWELVE BOOKS and PARADISE REGAINED. A POEM IN FOUR BOOKS TO WHICH IS ADDED SAMSON AGONISTES AND POEMS UPON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
2 volumes. Birmingham John Baskerville for J. and R. Tonson 1760 8vo. contemporary calf with gilt border; spines gilt with leather labels and raised bands; marbled pastedowns and free endpapers (xxiii), 416; lxxii, 390 pages
Printed by Baskerville for J. and R. Tonson (London), from the text of Thomas Newton, D.D., bishop of Bristol and a Milton scholar who had published an edition of Paradise Lost in 1749 (DNB XIV, 403-5). First volume includes a list of subscribers and introductory poems: In Paradisum Amissam (in Latin) by Samuel Barrow, M.D., and On Paradise Lost by Andrew Marvel. Also includes introductory comments on the verse and the argument. Second volume includes table of contents and a biography of Milton. According to F.E. Pardoe, this was Baskerville's third printing of Milton's works; two were previously published in 1758 and 1759 (Pardoe 169). See also Philip Gaskell, 24-7; 28-9. This edition was listed in the Public Advertiser (London) on May 14, 1760. Noteworthy are the gilt-roll on the bindings and the marbled endpapers. According to Diana Patterson, the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce offered a premium for the manufacture of marbled paper in 1759. Although no premium was awarded until 1763, Baskerville was an entrant, and the front endpaper of this work is illustrated with Patterson's article on the subject (Patterson, "John Baskerville, Marbler," in The Library s6-12 (3), 1990, 212-21). Previous owner's name inscribed on endpaper of both volumes. Front joint of first volume cracked, rubbing at edges. Gilt on spines dulled. Foxing. Copy of Patterson article laid in.

Limited to only 170 numbered copies printed on Frankfurt Mouldmade paper in Bell types composed by Michael and Winifred Bixler, bound by the Campbell-Logan Bindery and printed by hand by Henry Morris at his Bird & Bull Press. The fascinating story of edition binding in America seen through the eyes of the son and eventual owner of Allan Campbell's bookbinding business. Greg describes how the library binding and edition binding business has changed over the last 50 years through the mechanization of a business that had changed very little since the times of Gutenberg. Also mentioned are aspects of exhibition binding and restoration. There are interesting peeks at some of the noted fine binders, private press owners and other edition binders practicing over the last 50 years including Henry Morris, Harry Duncan, Gerry Lange, George Baer, Bill Anthony and many others. The book ends with a description of the fancy cloth import business that regularly has supplied the cloth for private press printers in America. The appendix volume contains 60 actual samples of these cloths imported from Japan, Holland, Germany and Italy. Sample portfolios of such bookcloths are costly to produce and are usually restricted to binders or publishers. The appendix offers a rare look at a collection of some of the finest book cloths made today. This book is sure to be of interest to anyone who collects press books or is interested in the development of this form of bookbinding.

  (Bird & Bull Press) Schmoller, Tanya REMONDINI AND RIZZI, A CHAPTER IN ITALIAN DECORATED PAPER HISTORY.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Books 1990 8vo. cloth-backed, patterned paper (in facsimile of an original Remondini pattern specially executed by Henry Morris), leather spine label. 55, (5) pages.
Limited to 215 numbered copies. Set in Perpetua and printed letterpress on Johannot mould-made paper by Henry Morris at the Bird & Bull Press. Italian block-printed papers were the start of the collection of decorated papers that Tanya Schmoller, and her husband Hans, gathered for over twenty years. The use of woodblocks to transfer designs to cloth and paper can be traced back in Europe to the fourteenth century. In the region of what is now Italy, there were several firms supplying these colorful papers, the most prominent being the firm of Remondini which was established in 1650. This work traces the history of the Remondini enterprise and also that of Giuseppe Rizzi who took over the Remondini woodblocks after 1861. It examines the sales techniques and production methods of these two firms and contains actual specimens of Rizzi decorated paper. Today such samples are rarely found and they are usually very expensive. The illustrations include a three-color facsimile of a Remondini woodblock and a fold-out reproduction of a decree authorizing the sale of gilt paper. There are also four pages of genuine Rizzi paper samples. Prospectus loosely inserted.

  (Bird & Bull Press) Wolfe, Richard J. THREE EARLY FRENCH ESSAYS ON PAPER MARBLING, 1642-1765
WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND THIRTEEN ORIGINAL MARBLED SAMPLES. Newtown, PA Bird & Bull Press 1987 8vo. quarter bound by E.G. Parrot in morocco and tips with leather spine label, and "snail" pattern marbled paper sides made by Wolfe especially for this edition. 106 pages.
Limited to 310 numbered copies and hand-printed by Henry Morris at his Bird & Bull Press on Umbria handmade paper.

The Diderot article is especially interesting as it comments on the practical side of marbling, i.e., how much money could be made. The samples were produced by Wolfe using the instructions in the translated manuals. Included is a four-color sequence showing the various steps taken by Wolfe in producing the Placard pattern.
