[Rarebooks] FS: Scarce glass title w/debauched Lady Middleton

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

 From our new "Spring" catalog, #273-

Clarke, H.G. "THE STORY OF OLD ENGLISH GLASS PICTURES 1690-1810"

London; Courier Press: 1928.

This study deals with the pictures (usually portraits) transferred from an 
engraved printing plate onto a glass surface, and then colored or tinted by 
hand. Though not essentially practical commercially, this was an 
interesting 18th century blending of the talents of the glassmaker and 
engraver. Clarke presents a detailed account of the form as well as 
illustrating and describing over 140 examples in what remains, as far as I 
can tell, the only full-length monograph ever written on this subject.

Hardcover. 9"x11", xix + 107 pages, plus a colored frontispiece of Lady 
Middleton looking debauched and 94 b/w plates; light soil, a little wear 
and cover rubbing; hinges just a little shaken.  [08612] $400.00
