Durers Triumphal Arch:

1893

EHRENPFORTE. Arc Triomphal de l'Empereur Maximilien I, gravé en bois d'après les dessins d'Albert Durer, elephant folio, a superb set of woodcuts on 43 leaves, from the original blocks, engraved between 1519 and 1550; and 3 other leaves containing Etchings of the subjects of the blocks which no longer exist; with 3 letterpress leaves of title, avertissement, and Avis au Relieur; bound in russia by Kalthoeber, £10. 10s Vienne, 1799

One of the grandest productions of the art of Wood-engraving, as well as a splendid example of the decorative and plastic genius of Albert Dürer. It is undoubtedly the finest volume of the Maximilian series, of which it is also the scarcest.

Collation: Printed title 1-Avertissement 1-Engraved text and wood-blocks Nos. 1, 2, to 53-Avis au Relieur 1Copperplates 3 on one leaf; a large one comprising Coats of Arms, &c.; 1 engraved and marked A. Bartsch, 1798.

In preparation, to be ready by the end of next year :

Chaucer: Poetical Works, 2 vols. folio. A critical edition

of the text printed at the Kelmscott Press of Mr. WILLIAM MORRIS, under the care of Mr. FRED. S. ELLIS, Editor of the Lexical Concordance to Shelley's Poetical Works.

The edition will be very limited. The Subscription price is not fixed yet, it may be from 15 to 20 guineas.

"Lovers of Chaucer on both sides of the Atlantic will rejoice to hear that the artist has made very great progress with a series of designs, fifty or sixty in all, which are to be cut in wood under his own superintendence, and intended to illustrate the Canterbury Tales' and the other poems of Chaucer. These designs promise to be charmingly graceful and beautiful in execution. Indeed, we are confident that since, precisely a hundred years ago, Flaxman,

then at Rome, designed for the first Countess Spencer the famous 'Illustrations to the Tragedies of Eschylus,' poet and artist have never been better fitted to each other. The text to which these designs are adapted will be collated with the best manuscripts, and carefully edited by Mr. W. Morris and Mr. F. S. Ellis. The typography will be worthy of the occasion, and the volume a stately quarto.”—The Athenæum, October 22nd, 1892.
