OF LONDON IN THE POSSESSION OF FREDERICK ARTHUR CRISP.

-Frederick Arthur Crisp.

Privately Printed: 1911.
Edition limited to 150 numbered copies.

An enjoyable catalog of Company-arms bearing ceramics in the collection of 
the noted antiquarian Frederick Arthur Crisp. There were 26 pieces in all, 
bearing arms of the blacksmiths, brewers, butchers, carpenters, 
clothworkers, coopers, cordwainers, cutlers, founders, fishmongers, 
joiners, merchant tailors, needle makers, parish clerks, poulters, 
saddlers, salters, bricklayers, upholders, watermen, and weavers companies. 
The six illustrated pieces show the arms of the carpenters, clothworkers, 
joiners, parish clerks, upholders, and weavers. Each piece and its crest 
are described, and there is also a list of the mottoes.

A good half the pieces were Chinese export, the others a smattering of 
Leeds pottery, and Lambeth and Bristol delftware. Crisp published several 
limited edition books featuring his collections, and they are uniformly 
elegantly conceived and executed. Hardcover. 10.5"x12", [i] 7, [iv] pages, 
printed one-side only, plus 6 color plates. Blue cloth with parchment spine 
and tips and leather label, as issued. Covers with moderate soil, a little 
internal soil. [05660] $275.00
