Book
Cloth, 4to, 26 cm, 255 pp, 106 ills, 6 colour plates. From the blurb : "In this book, Percy Muir, a leading authority on English children's books, has written a scholarly and entertaining account of the works published for children during a period of three centuries. Mr. Muir passes over the books written solely to instruct or to improve and concentrates on those whose aim is entertainment. He discusses at some length, and with an endearing enthusiasm, the important children's writers and their books in the years preceding 1900. He provides lists - invaluable to the collector - of the most important children's books during each period, and he refers to the most useful works on the subject by earlier writers. John Newbery is generally held to have originated children's books in 1740. Mr. Muir successfully challenges this assumption. He also satisfactorily fills in a number of gaps left by historians of the subject. The interesting and important publishing histories of the most famous children's books, here given for the first time, are especially valuable guides to this most ephemeral branch of the literature. There are more than 100 illustrations: colour plates, photographs and facsimile reproductions. In themselves a most attractive collection, they are of great value to the student of children's books. To the collector and librarian, the book is a necessary work of reference; to the much wider public who loved children's books when young and who love them still it will be a delightful possession." Old small price-sticker on front pastedown endpaper, otherwise Very Good in a lightly soiled and price-clipped dustwrapper which is torn with slight loss at the foot of the spinepanel.

Book First Edition
Cloth, folio, 31 cm, 176 pp, 8 colour ills, 106 black-and-white ills. From the blurb - "Maps in the Victorian era underwent rapid changes in production methods, and were designed for many new purposes, so reflecting wider economic and social developments. David Smith's book is the first to address itself fully to all kinds of maps of the period 1837-1900, most of which are still relatively plentiful and accessible to the collector. The evolution of production methods is examined in detail - the mechanical and chemical improvements in copper engraving; the development of electrotyping, the introduction of lithography, chromolithography and photolithography, new technology in paper manufacture. These changes offered new possibilities of presentation and content, and the author considers the use of conventional signs, orthography, decoration, and the representation of boundaries, antiquities and relief. He traces also the growing sophistication of hand colouring, until its replacement by lithographed colour Topographical maps of this period included plans of estates, enclosures, parishes, and urban improvement schemes - but there were also plans produced to represent scientific, statistical, medical and commercial data. The growth of the many types of transport, excursion and communication maps is related to technical, economic and social developments, as are those aimed specifically at children, huntsmen, cyclists, sportsmen, churchmen, social scientists and temperance propagandists The second pan of Victorian Maps of the British Isles offers a substantial and detailed carto-bibliography, based on original research, of the topographical atlases of the British riles published between 1837 and 1900."
