cloth, dust jacket. small 4to. cloth, dust jacket. 256 pages. First edition. Fine in fine jacket. The Vale Press is the story of typographer, publisher and wood engraver Charles Ricketts (1866-1931) and his famous press. Ricketts was a versatile and innovative practitioner of the printing arts who exerted a powerful influence on the development of modern book design. The Vale Press is the most comprehensive history of this early private press. Beginning with his work as "a designer of books and bindings" for Oscar Wilde, the story of the Vale Press reveals for the first time the nature of Ricketts's collaboration with the master printer Charles McCall of the Ballantyne Press, and the degree to which his success, both artistic and commercial, depended upon the transformation of his redundant skill as a wood engraver into a positive medium of artistic expression. This work includes a complete bibliography of the Vale Press's books and ephemera and is illustrated in color and black-and-white. Vale Press (illustrator).…

Condition: gut. 2004. The Vale Press: Charles Ricketts, A Publisher In Earnest In englischer Sprache. pages.

Octavo. Limited edition, one of 220 copies, 200 of which were for sale. Original full vellum, spine and boards decorated in a minimalist rectilinear gilt design by Charles Ricketts. Edges untrimmed. Vellum boards slightly discolored with age but remarkably flat; gilt bright, a bit faded on spine from handling. Mild foxing to preliminary leaf; some expansion of the front pastedown, neat undeciphered contemporary ownership signature and date "1904" on first free endpaper. The publication was in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Aldine edition of the myth. A seminal pre-Vale Press milestone, begun at their eponymously named home in Chelsea in 1893, featuring seven "white-line" woodcuts by Charles Ricketts (5) and Charles Shannon (2). Neatly tucked below the vellum binding's final gilt tooling, are integrated "CR" (Ricketts) in the left-most corner and the "HL" in the right-most corner, the latter being the indicator of master trade binder Henry Leighton. Above, framed by two palm leaves, are the date M.DCCC.XC.IV, and the interwoven authorial "C" and "G" (Marlowe/Chapman) monogram (often mistaken to be "C" and "C" for the Charleses Ricketts and Shannon). Very good or better. . Ransom 434.…

8vo. original blind-tooled green cloth. (iv), vxiii, (xv), xcii, (xcvi) pages. First Vale Press edition, first impression. From the Vale Press edition of Shakespeare's Plays. (Watry, B44/18). Private bookplate of J.G.F. Lund on the front pastedown. Very small amounts of rubbing to the extremities, very small bumps to corners. There is a moderate amount of foxing to the bottom edge of the textblock throughout, else a fine copy of this very scarce book. The decorations were designed by Charles Ricketts (1866-1931), a publisher, designer, and wood engraver who readily embraced the printing revival which propagated the ideals of the arts-and-crafts movement: "The novelty of a book, made during the recent revival, lies in the fact that it shows design in each portion of it, from type to paper, and from 'build' to decoration. Therein lies the difference between a book so understood and any other modern book printed before 1891.". Franklin, p. 81; Ransom, p. 437. original blind-tooled green cloth.
