Inscribed and signed by Gerald Sutcliffe. "Richard Sutcliffe (1849-1930) was an Irish mining engineer and inventor, active in England. He was born on a farm…in Tipperary and worked at coal mines in Ireland between 1857 and 1885. He moved to Barnsley, England in August 1885. In 1892 he invented the world's first coal cutting machine. In 1905 he invented the world's first underground conveyor belt. This invention revolutionized the mining industry by greatly reducing the amount of labour needed to transport coal. His company, Richard Sutcliffe Ltd., based in Horbury near Wakefield pioneered the manufacture of conveyor belts used in the mining and assembly line industries. His company devised many other types of mining equipment."?wiki. / Mining. engineerings, inventions, machinery. Conveying machinery. Convoyeurs. conveyors. Conveying machinery.

At head of page: 'Yorkshire v. Rest of England, The Oval, Sept. 1923.' The odd man out is B. W. Bullock [ Burnett Wedlake Bullo…ck ] (1896-1954), who did not take part in the match. He played for Surrey, and was presumably around when his more illustrious colleagues were giving autographs. According to the report in The Times, the match ended in a draw.

In den WarenkorbSigned limited edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, reproduced in color from the manuscript written and illuminated by Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe. Quarto, in the publisherâs original elaborately decorated full vellum, the front panel elaborately stamped in gilt with a peacock motif, gilt titles and a floral motif… to the spine, brown gilt morocco lettering label, top edge gilt, the others untrimmed, pictorial endleaves. One of 550 copies signed by Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe. With twelve full-page color illustrations inserted throughout, and an introduction by A.C. Benson. In near fine condition. Eleventh-century Persian poet and mathematician Omar Khayyam composed more than one thousand quatrains, or rubaiyat, on love and mortality, expressing an enigmatic theology that has been interpreted and disputed over the course of centuries. The scholar Edward Fitzgerald (1809-1883), the first translator and author of five separate English versions of the Rubaiyat, did not produce strict translations so much as loose transmogrifications of the poetry, often taking great liberties with the original Persian text; nevertheless he remains the most famous of Omar Khayyam?s translators, credited with bringing the Rubaiyat to broad public notice in the English-speaking world. Sangorski and Sutcliffe, the famed London binders founded in 1901, produced the legendary Great Omar, an extravagant jewelled binding of Fitzgerald?s Rubaiyat completed in 1911 after nearly two years of meticulous labor. Encrusted with over a thousand precious stones, heavy gold inlays, and Sangorski?s signature peacock designs, it was regarded as the most sumptuous binding ever created. Consigned to the Titanic in April 1912, it was tragically lost at sea, leaving behind only a handful of photographs and an illuminated manuscript as witness to its brilliance.

Eleventh-century Persian poet and mathematician Omar Khayyam composed more than one thousand quatrains, or rubaiyat, on love and mortality, expressing an enigmatic theology that has been interpreted and disputed over the course of centuries. Scholar Edward Fitzgerald (1809-1883), first translator and author of five separate English versions of the Rubaiyat, did not produce strict translations as much as loose âtransmogrificationsâ of the poetry, often taking great liberties with the original Persian text. Nevertheless, he remains the most famous of Omar Khayyamâs translators, and is credited with bringing the Rubaiyat to broad public notice in the English-speaking world.

In den WarenkorbZustand: Near Fine. First trade edition. Bound in tan cloth with a lovely full gilt peacock design to the front board. A lovely, Near Fine example of the first trade edition. This edition reprints the famous Sangorski and Sutcliffe, illuminated edition, with both Sangorski and Sutcliffe signing on the limitation page. Complete w…ith all 12 color plates. This edition is slightly smaller than the signed, limited edition and uses a thinner paper-stock. Some inoffensive foxing throughout. Fitzgerald attributed the original work to the famed astronomer and mathematician Omar Khayyum, and this collection of quatrains rapidly became a favored text of the Pre-Raphaelites. "Like the Odyssey or the Vita Nuova [it] was once the most widely known and quoted work of Victorian poetry in the world," and its place in Western culture at the time was secured by Fitzgerald's "epigrammatic, sophisticated, often mordant verses [that] display Fitzgerald's adroitness in handling this stanza form" (Warner). Yet with rise of Modernism, the Rubaiyat fell out of style for a time, its lush and romantic orientalism considered out of step with the concerns of those who were living through a devastating World War. But the beautiful surviving copies in exceptional vellum, silk, and leather, alongside recently released critical editions, have helped draw attention back to the Rubaiyat's beauty and its role in inspiring so many monumental pieces of Victorian art and literature. Near Fine.

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.
