About this Item

2 volumes. 8vo. ITALY: vii, 284 pp. POEMS: vii, 284 pp. Engravings throughout. Bound ca. 1890/1905 in full olive brown crushed morocco, gilt corner decorations, dentelles, a.e.g., marbled endleaves. Bookplates of Alfred Trapnell and Oscar Ehrhardt Lancaster (both owned fore-edge paintings). ITALY: p. 273/4 torn and mended. ITALY has only the Trapnell bookplate, as the books had been separated for many years in the past. Very good. Each volume with a vertical fore-edge painting of a large porcelain urn or vase with a plant. The painting is not signed or dated � " the evidence of ownership (Trapnell) suggests these two paintings were made before 1910. PROVENANCE: Alfred Trapnell bookplate, his library sold in NY ca. 1910 ["997" + "998" label]. The fore-edge was painted before Trapnell bought (possibly as a commission from him) the book. The ITALY was from the Phoebe Jane Easton collection of fore-edge paintings (Jeff Weber bought), a clear companion to the other volume, also with Trapnell's bookplate. Alfred Trapnell was a famous collector of porcelains. Unstated Provenance: Matt Wyse. LANCASTER did not have both of these volumes, his bookplate appears only in the one book. It was Matt Wyze who bought the stray volume and then I recognized it and married the two back together again � " probably apart for more than 30 or 40 years. ITALY: From the Phoebe Easton collection of fore-edge paintings. SIDE NOTE: Professor Carl J. Weber visited Lancaster on May 1, 1954 and inscribed a copy of his book [1001 Fore-edge Paintings, Waterville, 1949] on fore-edge painting to him. Lancaster (b.1887) who was a patent lawyer from Pennsylvania, also a book collector and had a collection of fore-edge paintings. See: Frederick Litchfield, Albert Amor. The Trapnell collection. An appreciation. ca.1912. (19 pp.); An Illustrated Catalogue of Chinese Porcelain and Pottery, Forming the Collection of Mr. Alfred Trapnell. Bristol, 1901.
