(Faithfull, Emily) TE DEUM LAUDAMUS.
N.P. Victoria Press n.d. (1868) 8vo. original blue cloth stamped in gilt, all edges gilt, later blue cloth clamshell box. Title page printed in red, dedication page with dedication to the Queen, 29 leaves printed recto only in chromolithography heightened in gold and silver by M. & N. Hanhart.
First edition. (See William Fredeman's article on this press in the Library, June 1974, pp.139-164). Printed, published and illuminated by Emily Faithfull, the proprietor of the Victoria Press. Fredeman calls this one of the "most splendid works published by Emily Faithfull". "As physical objects (this book and one other produced by Faithfull), they are superior to any book issued with the imprint of the press, and they compare favourably with similar books by Owen Jones and Noel Humphreys..." Emily Faithfull established this press in 1860 as an outlet for her theories on the employment of women and the press employed mostly women in most facets of the business. The press was transferred to the Queen Printing and Publishing Company in 1881.
Presentation on verso of free endpaper "R. Townsend Mayer, With Emily Faithful's best regards, Feb. 24, 1869." With the bookplate of Samuel Ralph Townsend and Gertrude Mary Mayer on front pastedown. Wear at bottom of spine and one corner. Inside hinges craced with pages loose as often happened with this book as the pages were not sewn in by the original binder.

Homer (as translated by Alexander Pope) THE ILIAD AND ODYSSEY OF HOMER AS TRANSLATED BY ALEXANDER POPE, IN GREEK AND ENGLISH. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY STEVEN SHANKMAN AND 52 ORIGINAL COLOR DRAWINGS BY AVERY LAWRENCE .
2 volumes. Chestertown Chester River Press 2009 12.5 x 14.5 inches cloth, dust jackets, slipcase 550; 434 pages
Acclaimed by Samuel Johnson as "a performance which no age or nation could hope to equal," Alexander Pope's translation of the Iliad and Odyssey stands as one of the glories of English Literature.

The Chester River Press edition of the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer has been designed and printed to reflect the epic proportions of this famous translation and offers both the Greek and English translations for the general reader and scholar alike. More than 50 color drawings in Greek vase styles by Avery Lawrence were commissioned by the Press. Each drawing portrays a specific scene from each of the 48 books making up the Iliad and Odyssey with smaller medallions adorning pages throughout.

An original two-part Introduction by the esteemed Pope scholar, Steven Shankman, reflects on and investigates Pope's majestic poems through a scholarly lens focused on the timless Homeric themes of war and peace. Professor Shankman also elaborates on "How To Read Homer," an aid to understanding the philosophical and historical context of the Homeric epics.

The Iliad and Odyssey are presented as a companion, slipcased set and bound in black Dutch cloth with dust jackets.
