First Edition. "Much Sound and Little Sense" The Cornerstone of Gilbert's Comic Genius GILBERT, W.S. The "Bab" Ballads. Much Sound and Little Sense. With illustrations by the author. London: John Camden Hotten, 1869. First edition. Small octavo (7 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches; 184 x 114 mm.). ix, [1,], [11]-222, [4, ads] pp. [Together with:] GILBERT, W.S. More "Bab" Ballads. Much Sound and Little Sense. With illustrations by the author. London: George Routledge and Sons, [1873]. First edition. Small octavo. viii, [13]-224, [4, ads] pp. Uniformly bound ca. 1930 by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in full red crushed levant morocco. Covers with double gilt fillet borders, the inner fillet incorporating small gilt corner tools. Spines with five raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Gilt board edges and wide gilt turn-ins, cockerel endpapers, all edges gilt. Original green cloth covers bound in at rear. Joints expertly and unobtrusively repaired. Housed in a fleece-lined, cockerel board slipcase by the same bindery. A very handsome set. The two volumes of the Bab Ballads - issued in 1869 and 1873 - form the foundation of W. S. Gilbert's enduring reputation as the supreme humorist of the Victorian stage. First published in Fun magazine under the pseudonym "Bab," these verses, accompanied by Gilbert's own distinctive illustrations, marry absurdity with precision, skewering the pretensions of class, bureaucracy, and Victorian propriety with a wit that remains remarkably modern. More than merely comic verse, The Bab Ballads constitute the imaginative wellspring of the later collaborations with Arthur Sullivan. Characters, situations, and even entire narrative frameworks reappear in the Savoy operas, including H.M.S. Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance, making these volumes essential not only to literary collections but also to the history of English musical theatre. A cornerstone work of Victorian humor, here in an elevated and highly desirable format.

The Adelphi Edition of Jane Austen Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe AUSTEN, Jane. The Adelphi edition of the works of Jane Austen. London: Martin Secker, [1923]. Seven small quarto volumes (6 3/4 x 4 7/8 inches; 171 x 124 mm.). Pride and Prejudice; Sense and Sensibility; Northanger Abbey; Mansfield Park; Emma; Persuasion; Lady Susan and The Watsons. Bound ca. 1923 by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in three quarter orange Morocco over patterned boards ruled in gilt. Spines with five raised bands decoratively tooled in gilt, three brown morocco labels lettered in gilt, matching endpapers, top edge gilt. Spines a little dull and very slightly rubbed. A very good set, that includes, as a seventh volume Lady Susan and the Watsons. Lady Susan is an epistolary novella by Jane Austen, likely written around 1794 but unpublished until 1871. This early, complete work - never submitted for publication by the author - follows the manipulative schemes of its titular character. The Watsons is an unfinished novel, probably begun around 1803. While the reasons for Austen's abandonment of the work remain uncertain, various theories have been proposed, and several authors have since attempted to complete it. A continuation by Austen's niece was published in 1850, while the original manuscript fragment appeared in print in 1871. Lady Susan, with its dazzling and unconventional heroine - wicked, beautiful, intelligent, and irresistibly charismatic - is a bold and spirited melodrama imbued with the energy of the eighteenth century. The Watsons, written later and possibly set aside after the death of Austen's father, is an engaging and charming story. Filled with vitality and hope, it explores the fortunes and romantic prospects of the Watson sisters in a quiet provincial town.

Original purple velvet lined, full green morocco jewel case with brass lock, signed in gilt by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. A wonderful 'Kelliegram-style' binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, with no less than six pictorial morocco inlays: a scene of Evelina and her two suitors (illustration on p. 110 "Again I stood suspended") on the upper cover and scenes of one figure each on the lower cover, both doublures, and both flyleaves. Evelina, or the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World is a novel written by English author Fanny Burney and first published in 1778. In this epistolary novel, the title character Evelina is the unacknowledged but legitimate daughter of a dissipated English aristocrat, thus raised in rural seclusion until her seventeenth year. Through a series of humorous events that take place in London and the resort town of Hotwells, near Bristol, Evelina learns to navigate the complex layers of eighteenth century society and earn the love of a distinguished nobleman. This sentimental novel, which has notions of sensibility and early romanticism, satirizes the society in which it is set and is a significant precursor to the work of Jane Austen and Maria Edgeworth, whose novels explore many of the same issues. Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) was born in Kingsgate Street, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry, the eldest child of John and Catherine Thomson. Thomson was educated in the model school in .,Coleraine. At age fourteen he started working at the local linen industry but three years later he entered the employment of Marcus Ward & Co., colour printers and publishers in Belfast where his talent for drawing was encouraged by John Vinycomb, head of the art department. He married Jessie Naismith Miller in 1884 and moved to London, where he took up employment with Macmillan & Co. on the English Illustrated Magazine, joining some of the most distinguished writers and illustrators of the day. Thomson provided scenes of Covent Garden and Regency Bath and the illustrations for the Addison and Steele Spectator papers Days with Sir Roger de Coverley (1886-7). Thompson's style reflected the nostalgia of the time, his fine line drawing of rural characters and gentle countrified society appealing to the imagination of the public. Frances Burney (1752-1840), also known as Fanny Burney and after her marriage as Madame d'Arblay, was an English satirical novelist, diarist and playwright. She was born in Lynn Regis, now King's Lynn, England, on 13 June 1752, to the musician and music historian Dr. Charles Burney (1726-1814) and his first wife, Esther Sleepe Burney (1725-1762). The third of her mother's six children, she was self-educated and began writing what she called her "scribblings" at the age of ten. In 1793, aged 41, she married a French exile, General Alexandre D'Arblay. Their only son, Alexander, was born in 1794. After a lengthy writing career, and travels during which she was stranded in France by warfare for more than ten years, she settled in Bath, England, where she died on 6 January 1840.

"Vedder's 'Rubáiyát' set the standard for the artist-designed book in America and England." In a Superb Early Twentieth Century Inlaid Binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe [BINDING]. SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE, binders. FITZGERALD, Edward, Translator and Editor. VEDDER, Elihu, Illustrator. KHAYYAM, Omar. Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám The Astronomer Poet of Persia. Rendered into English Verse by Edward Fitzgerald with an accompaniment of Drawings by Elihu Vedder. Boston: [Printed at the Riverside Press for] Houghton Mifflin and Company, 1894. Small quarto (8 1/4 x 6 inches; 209 x 152 mm.). 30 leaves, [1]-45, [2], [47]-61, [1, blank] pp., all printed on French-fold paper. With illustrated title, six pages of notes with decorative frames, frontispiece, and fifty plates illustrating the poem, inset with panels of text, all by Elihu Vedder. Elegantly bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe ca. 1910 (stamp-signed on front turn-in) in full blue crushed morocco elaborately gilt and inlaid. Covers with wide, heavily stippled gilt frame inlaid with twining grape vines in brown, green, and purple morocco, spine with five raised bands, gilt pointille with similar inlaid grape vine weaving through the length of the spine, lettered in gilt in compartments. Gilt ruled board edges and wide turn-ins of blue morocco enclosing red silk liners framed by ivory morocco that is inlaid with green and brown, the turn-ins featuring very large corner ornaments of inlaid green grape leaves, red watered silk endleaves, top edge gilt. Joints expertly and invisible repaired. Original black and gold printed gray wrappers designed by Vedder bound in. Engraved bookplate of renowned collector William F. Gable, of Altoona on verso of front endpaper. A fine, fresh copy in an absolutely spectacular binding from the great house of Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Tipped onto the front flyleaf is a one-page autograph letter signed by Elihu Vedder and written to a Boston gallery owner named Doll regarding paintings the artist has and will have for sale. It is dated December 16, 1868, a time when Vedder had returned to America from his home base in Rome to persuade the reluctant (and wealthy) parents of Carrie Rosenkrans to allow him to marry their daughter. Happily, Vedder and Rosenkrans were able to wed; they honeymooned in Italy, which they made their home for the remainder of their lives. A beautifully bound copy of an important illustrated edition of FitzGerald's lush and lilting translation of the celebrated 11th century classic collection of evocative short verses, tinged with a sense of the vanity of all things. A work that appealed strongly to Victorian sensibilities, the "Rubáiyát," first printed anonymously in 1859, became immensely popular and went through a great many editions. Sangorski & Sutcliffe created a number of splendid bindings for copies of the "Rubáiyát," most famously the "Great Omar" that was lost on the Titanic. Here, they have apparently taken inspiration from a quotation in the frontispiece: "Better be jocund with the fruitful Grape / Than sadden after none or bitter Fruit." According to the Smithsonian, which owns the original designs, "from the moment of its publication [in 1884], Elihu Vedder's 'Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam' achieved unparalleled success. Critics rushed to acclaim it as a masterwork of American art, and Vedder (1836-1923) as the master American artist. Vedder's 'Rubáiyát' set the standard for the artist-designed book in America and England." William F. Gable (1856-1921) founded the Gable's Department Store, in Altoona, PA, opening on March 1, 1884. The first incarnation of the store was a single room. In 1891, Gable built a Victorian Neoclassical style building, in downtown Altoona. It was in this building that the Gable's Department Store became the forerunner of the modern department store. By 1913, Gable's was the most complete department store in the state of Pennsylvania. It had come to be known as "the people's store." The renowned collection of the late William F. Gable, of Altoona, Pennsyvania was sold at auction by the American Art Association, Inc. on January 1st, 1923.

Hudson Company (commonly known simply as Hudson's) was a retail department store chain based in Detroit, Michigan. Hudson's flagship store, on Woodward Avenue in Downtown Detroit was constructed beginning in 1911, with additions throughout the years, before being 'completed' in 1946. The building was named after the company's founder Joseph Lowthian Hudson, and was demolished on October 24, 1998. In 1961 it was the tallest department store in the world, and, at one time, claimed to be the second-largest department store, after Macy's, in the United States, by square footage.
