The 4 pages of Family Register in this Bible are filled in by Benjamin
Lewis, recording his birth (1820) and marriage to Margaret Lewis at
Castleton Baptist Chapel on 14th October 1852, her death on 4th April 1864,
and his remarriage to Martha Lewis at Llanmarth on May 14th 1865.
There are 4 children recorded John, Margaret, Grace and Benjamin to the
first marriage. His own death is recorded in the 29th of March 1892.
Cassell’s, as great disseminators of Religious, Instructive and Popular works
to reach the masses, undertook this monumental Illustrated Bible. It rose
head and shoulders above the illustrated Bibles of the late 18th and early
19th century, to become the most popular Bible ever produced in
Great Britain to that date. With over 900 illustrations commissioned
for this edition, it remains the most heavily illustrated Bible. On the crest of
this great success and popularity Cassell’s commissioned Gustave Doré to
produce his Great Bible. Not as heavily illustrated as this edition, it
nevertheless achieved its place in the Pantheon of Great Bibles.

Catalogue 72 A Miscellany including a small collection of Gustave Doré Works
GUSTAVE DORÉ 1832-1883, was one of the greatest and most prolific
illustrators of the Nineteenth Century. He felt aggrieved that his own nation
would not consider him a true “Artist”, but an illustrator, as he was not a
sketcher from Life , drawing from memory. The British adored his romance
with works of the Poet Laureate Tennyson, and Milton, the Italians hailed him
a master for his illustration of their great poet Dante, the first artist since
Boticelli to have successfully attempted the complete works. In Spain his
warm depiction of the wonderful landscape and people in D’Avillier’s Spain,
and Don Quixote, and in France for his effervescent humour starting in the
Journal Pour Rire, the
Fables
of
Fontaine,
Perrault and Balzac. His
masterwork
the Bible,
translated into English and
German, reached far and
wide among Missionary
Workers across the world,
setting a bench mark for
the Religious revival of
the second half of the 19th
century.
His influence
th
extended far into the 20
century with film makers
including Cecil B. DeMille,
and D.W. Griffiths.
For
Booksellers
the
problem has always been
quantity and condition. So
many examples of his
work come in over sized
and heavy volumes which
are conducive neither to
easy storage or delicate
usage. Here are a small group of his works in rare condition, and in the case
of the works in parts, very hard to find.

Librarie Hachette et Cie.
Among his many passions, the work of Gustave Doré appealed to
Nureyev. His depiction of Paris, it’s Beau Monde, the dancers,
jugglers and actors, led him through to the Fairy and fantastical
World of Perrault and La Fontaine. The London Fête’s and Picnics,
the theatrical scenes of “The Penny Gaff” and “Blondin in Shoreditch,”
and the dramatic scenes of the Metropolis attracted the young
Nureyev. Nureyev’s tomb is in the Russian Cemetary at SainteGeneviève-des-Bois near Paris. This mosaic memorial resembles one
of the oriental kilim rugs that Nureyev loved so much, and could well
have appeared in a Doré illustration. It was designed by Ezio
Frigerio, Nueryev’s favourite set and costume designer, whose work
often echoed Doré.

DORE (Gustave) The Bible 238 plates and illustrations by Gustave
Dore, 2 vols thick 4to. full original publishers morocco, gilt dentelles, aeg,

Cassell, Peter and
Galpin, London, [1870]
Cassels issued their English King James
Edition with Dore’s plates after the first
French edition came out between 1866
through to about 1871.
The Cloth
Edition was prices at 8 guineas, the
Leather at £15 guineas. It was the most
popular Bible in the English speaking
world.
With the introduction of
electroplating
into
the
printing
industry, wood engravings could be
strengthened and sustained for long
print runs. In spite of much criticism
this was Dore’s greatest work,
“bringing to life the Bible and its
histories for generations to come”. Born in 1832, his popularity had been
secured earlier in the century with the works of La Fontaine, Rabelais,
Tennyson, Cervantes, and Dante.
With the Second Empire and its
revolutions, Doré worked incredibly hard with astute detail, humour and
occasionally cruelty. The turbulence in France that saw the birth of the Art
Nouveau Movement, Impressionism and literature such as Les Fleurs du Mal
of Beaudelaire. In her introduction to the Dover Press reprint of the
illustrations, Millicent Rose suggests that their influence extended well into
the 20th century in to Hollywood with the epic films of D.W. Griffiths and
Cecil B. de Mille.
Because of the size and weight of these volumes, copies in original bindings
unrestored or undamaged, are rare in the market.

Malan claims “Without

over Doré.
Some
have said that France
never really forgave
Doré for turning to the
British. Even though
they would not accept
him as a major
painter,
they

“He

scarce

than my king’s
ideal knight”,
ending “Break
not, O womens’
heart, but still
endure, Break
not for thou art
Royal,
but
endure Remembering all the beauty of that star Which shone so close beside
Thee, that ye made One light together, but has past and leaves.the Crown in
lonely splendour. May all love, His love, unseen but felt, o’ershadow Thee...
The love of thy People comfort Thee, Till God’s love set Thee at his side again
!” Prince Albert died in the winter of 1861.
Of all Doré’s engraved works this is the finest.
The courtly romance,
sensuality and chivalry that Prince Albert had admired in the verses, Doré
translates in to vibrant black and white. Doré met Queen Victoria at a
Garden Party in 1875 and conversed happily with her. She had bought his
“Le Psaltérion” at the Salon in 1870, for Windsor Castle.

FOX (ADAM). SPENCER (Gilbert, Artist 1892 -1979) A Fine
Graphite Portrait on paper, of the Reverend Adam Fox (1883-1977)
Professor of Poetry at Oxford, and Dean of Divinity at Magdalen College, a
founder member of the Inklings, with C.S.Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein, later
Professor of Poetry, and after that Canon of Westminster, signed Gilbert
Spencer,13 x 10½ ins. framed and glazed, March, 1966
The Inklings were a gathering of friends – all of them British, male, and
Christian, most of them affiliated with Oxford University, many of them
creative writers and lovers of imaginative literature – who met usually on
Thursday evenings in Lewis’s and J.R.R. Tolkien’s rooms in Oxford during
the 1930s and 1940s for readings and
criticism of their own work, and for general
conversation. “Properly speaking,” wrote
W.H. Lewis, one of their number, the
Inklings “was neither a club nor a literary
society, though it partook of the nature of
both. There were no rules, officers, agendas,
or formal elections.” An overlapping group
gathered on Tuesday (later Monday)
mornings in various Oxford pubs, usually
the Eagle and Child, better known as the
Bird and Baby, between the 1940s and 1963.
Adam Fox was the oldest member of the
Inklings recorded by David Bratman in his
list compiled for Diana Pavlac Glyer’s on the
Inklings, “The Company They Keep” (Kent State University Press, 2007).
His early work includes Babylon: A Sacred Satire, 1929, and the better
known Old King Coel, 1937. In 1960 he wrote his award winning biography
of Dean Inge. He moved to Westminster Abbey at a difficult time during the
Blitz in 1942, serving as Sub-Dean until 1964. His ashes were buried in Poets
Corner in Westminster Abbey, but not with the inscription that he himself
had written in 1933 “A Fox gone to earth.”

Gilbert Spencer, was the younger brother and biographer of the artist Sir
Stanley Spencer. From 1934-6 he created a series of murals depicting the
Foundation Legend of Balliol College for Holywell Manor, Oxford, and met
Fox at that time. He was appointed an Official War Artist. This portrait is
dated March 1966, was drawn after Fox’s retirement from the Abbey.

Montgomery was one of the most surprising hero’s to

grudging acceptance of his brilliance, and the respect

an outstanding public figure. Montgomery’s success in

abolished all heritable offices of justiciary,

This novel was the best selling book of the
nineteenth century, with only the Bible
outselling it. Not even Dickens, with the
death of little Nell, could outshine Stowe’s death of little Eva. After its’ initial
success, the American Civil War and the abolitionof Slavery. the novel’s
reputation soared.
Cassell visited America in 1853 to attend the "World Temperance
Convention" in New York, and again in 1854 and 1859 on publishing
business. He met the author Harriet Beecher Stowe and arranged for the
Catalogue 72 A Miscellany including a small collection of Gustave Doré Works
publication of an illustrated edition of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" in Britain - to great
success. Cassell strongly supported the
cause of the slavery abolitionists.
However strong the text is emotionally,
and against the Slavery in the Southern
State, , the illustrations conform to the
comic stereotype of Currier and Ives
black humour. President Lincoln, it is
claimed, blamed the Civil War on this
work.
