A few minor chips and cracks in the covers, title-page a bit soiled but very good. Gift inscription on front flyleaf. First Edition. Papier-mâché bindings are particularly associated with Henry Noel Humphreys, a British writer, artist and antiquarian who was deeply influenced by the medieval and Renaissance art he had seen during his travels in Italy during the 1830s. "Inspired by the look and feel of both manuscripts and early printed books, he utilised chromolithography in his publications in an attempt to recreate the singular composition of text, illustration and ornament found in early books, that was missing from the mass-produced books of his own era" (J. Blyth, "A Binding Fit for the Black Prince," Corpus Christi College, Oxford, 2015 [web]). "Twelve of Christ's miracles as recorded in the New Testament are ornamented by Henry Noel Humphreys in this, his second papier-mâché-bound illuminated book. Six of the miracles are represented in roundels on the cover designed by Humphreys: the miraculous draught of fishes, the changing of water into wine, Jesus and Peter walking on the water, the woman cured of eighteen years' infirmity, the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, and the blind man restored to sight. Humphreys's binding is based the design of the British Museum's Psalter of Queen Melisende" (Beckwith, p. 22) A. Beckwith, Victorian Bibliomania: The Illuminated Book in 19th-Century Britain, no. 8. .

This limited edition was produced for the occurrence of the Caxton Celebration of 1877. The original woodblocks dating sometime between 1470-1540 were purchased by the Unwin brothers and used to print the plates which pair up nicely with the facsimile text of Wiclif's New Testament of 1525. It is unknow what work these woodblocks were originally used for the printing of, as the have not been "recognized as belonging to any printed book". "In issuing them, combined with a suitable descriptive text, our thought has been to produce, as nearly as possible, a counterpart of an old Biblia Pauperum, and thus form a fitting memorial not only of the Caxton Celebration, but also of the Wiclif Quincentenart."

London, Longman and Co, 1848, 1st ed., IV text-pages, chromolithographed title page heighthened with gold and 31 further chromolithographed plates by Henry Noel Humphreys, original black moulded "papier-mâché" plaster gothic relievo binding designed by Humphreys, illustrated with intricate gothic floral motifs surrounding six medallions illustrating the miracles, black embossed leather spine, cover edges and inside dentelles gilt, all book-edges gilt, marbled endpapers, original green cloth covered board slipcase, 17,5 x 12,5 cm (book). = First edition of a landmark of Victorian book design. Ruari McLean, Victorian Book Design & Colour Printing (1963), p. 72 and 151: "One of the "supreme examples of Victorian Gothic" in which Humphreys shows a beautiful fusion of his papier-mache binding and the masterly design of his suite of chromolithographs illustrating the miracles. These bindings resemble ebony carved panels - this particular example being inspired by a 12th century psalter in possession of the British Museum - but were in fact cast in plaster over a papier mache mould. The chromolithographs are clearly inspired by medieval illuminated manuscripts. "The result was splendidly gothic and impressive", and they represent "perhaps the biggest triumph among all the ingenuities of Victorian commercial book-binding". Morris/ Levin, The Art of Publishers' Bookbindings, p.160ff. Text leaves include "Remarks of the Illuminator" and "Descriptive Index of the Miracles". Relievo panels remarkably well preserved with only minimal superficial cracks; the leather spine worn with a larger piece lacking in the middle (ca.5 cm.). First leaf "Remarks of the Illuminator" loose. Near-fine copy.

First edition of this icon of 19th-century book design. It is one of a handful of titles that showcase Humphrey's black (so-called) papier-mâché binding and displays a fantastic suite of his chromolithographs. Such bindings, which imitate carved ebony, were cast in plaster over a papier mâché mould. "The result was splendidly gothic and impressive", and they represent "perhaps the biggest triumph among all the ingenuities of Victorian commercial book-binding" (McLean, pp. 72 & 151). This design was inspired by a binding of carved ivory on a psalter in the British Museum. Humphreys (1810-1879) was also heavily influenced by Italian and Flemish manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The skill of the chromolithography demonstrated here is masterly and improves upon that of his previous titles. Ruari McLean, Victorian Book Design & Colour Printing, 1963. Octavo. Chromolithograph title page heightened in gilt, 31 chromolithograph leaves with text and borders in medieval style, 4 pp. letterpress at end. Original black plaster boards with elaborate gothic relievo design by Humphreys, incorporating six medallion vignettes depicting miracles, black embossed morocco spine, spine and both boards lettered in relief, gilt inner dentelles, Fountain pattern marbled endpapers, gilt edges. Housed in a custom blue cloth box. Relievo crisp and unrubbed, boards superficially cracked at edges, lower corners bumped, letterpress pages foxed, plates bright. A near-fine copy.
