Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. First Edition. Two volumes. London: Reeves & Turner, and Bertram Dobell, 1895. First edition. xciii,[iii],373,[1]pp., (+[2]pp. ads).; vii,[i],446pp., (+[2]pp. ads.). Tissue-guarded portrait frontispiece to each volume. Titles printed in red & black. Original brown cloth, gilt lettering & decoration, top edge rough, others untrimmed, upper boards embossed in black with a pictorial design by Charles Ricketts. §The writer John Cowper Powys's copy with his inked name to front pastedown of each volume. Ink-crosses or marks in his hand drawing attention to four passages in 'The City of the Dreadful Night'. §Two of the three Powys brothers are known to have had an interest in Thomson. The novelist Louis Wilkinson reports that "in his undergraduate days [at Oxford]" he talked with T.F. Powys "of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, of James Thomson . . . and Swinburne and other poets" but that "it was Nietzsche who then most attracted Theodore who bore a striking resemblance to one portrait of that destructive and creative philosopher" ('Some Memories of T.F. Powys', ed. Sewell, 1964, pp.10-11); Llewelyn Powys's collection 'Cup-Bearers of Wine and Hellebore', 1924, includes an 11 page essay on 'B.V.'; John Cowper Powys's interest in the 'pessimist poet', however, is perhaps unrecorded (a fairly tantalising pairing). Free endpapers browned, ownership signatures offset. Prelims., portraits & tissue-guards slightly foxed. A few leaves carelessly opened (see illustration of vol. I, p. 246, for the most serious example). Some marking to covers, Ricketts designs a little rubbed. Spines severely faded, obliterating gilt lettering & blocking, spine ends chafed & worn. In all other respects a good, sound set. (**PLEASE READ CAREFULLY** - Heavy/overweight item weighing 1.4 kg packed, therefore additional postage will be required for overseas orders.

Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket, As Issued. TYPOGRAPHY AS ART IN THE ARTS & CRAFTS MOVEMENT A masterpiece of the British Private Press movement, this edition of the Tale of Cupid and Psyche (from The Golden Ass) represents the aesthetic peak of the Vale Press. Under the direction of Charles Ricketts, this volume reinterprets the classical myth through the lens of the Symbolist movement, focusing on the soul's allegorical journey toward enlightenment. KEY FEATURES +++ Limitation: One of only 310 copies printed on handmade paper (none on vellum). +++ Typography: Printed in the celebrated Vale Type, designed by Ricketts specifically for the press. +++ Visuals: Features five intricate wood engravings, a decorative woodcut border, and a striking initial on the opening page, all designed and engraved on wood by Charles Ricketts. +++ Paper: Heavy handmade paper featuring the press's characteristic watermark of engraving tools and wreaths. +++ Production: Bound at the Ballantyne Press; part of the crucial 'Classical Revival' series produced by Hacon & Ricketts. +++ Specs: Imperial Octavo [11.5 x 7.5 inches]; xxx, colophon. CONDITION Very Good -- Original linen-backed blue paper-covered boards with the original printed paper label on the upper cover. The boards show minor age-toning and a hint of rubbing to the lower rear corner. The paper label is evenly toned. Internally, the endpapers show the typical toning found in this edition, but the text remains remarkably fresh with several preliminaries remaining unopened. A tight, square, and honest copy of a fragile binding. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Charles Ricketts was a pivotal figure in the Arts and Crafts and Aesthetic Movements, and the Vale Press was his primary vehicle for challenging the industrialization of the book. By choosing De Cupidinis et Psyches, Ricketts aligned the press with the Symbolist fascination with myth and mysticism. This edition is not merely a book, but an architectural object where the type, the 'Vale' font, and the woodcut illustrations are designed to function as a singular artistic unit. SUBJECTS: Private Press, Charles Ricketts, Vale Press, Arts and Crafts Movement, Symbolism, Classical Mythology, Cupid and Psyche, Lucius Apuleius, Fine Printing, Typography, Limited Edition, Private Press, Illustrated Books, Classical Literature.
