Chomolithography, 265x395mm, original proof impression. “The second versions of the Vanity Fair caricatures are the proof prints or proofs before lettering. [First versions are the original watercolors; third versions are the widely available weekly/album prints.]   Produced to verify the colours and lines of the lithograph, no more than twenty copies were printed. Not true many more than that. These prints have no captions or dates, or other descriptive type, and the magazine bound them in numbered albums, in green leather with gilt tooling.  They were offered for sale, and also awarded as prizes in the magazine’s acrostic contests.  At the front of each volume is a printed note from Vanity Fair giving the number of the proof volume and the numbered volume in the series. However these volumes were "broken" to sell individually and one never sees the complete volume. The quality of the colours in the proof prints, their clarity of line and detail and their scarcity make them of considerable… Read More

8vo, XXIX, 540p., ill., cloth, dj, As newjn 1997, a team of historians, librarians, and literary scholars from across the country joined the growing number of researchers around the world studying print culture on a national scale and took up the task of producing a history for Canada. Volume one of the History of the Book in Canada – the first of three volumes in this collaborative project – examines the role of print in the political, religious, intellectual, and cultural life of the colonies that eventually became Canada.This volume begins with Aboriginal peoples who maintained their stories and history both orally and in writing. When Europeans arrived, the printing press was not yet a century old, but once printing began in Halifax in 1752, it spread rapidly. Printers set up shops through the eastern provinces, in Quebec and Ontario, and by 1840, as far west as a mission near Lake Winnipeg. Their productions were largely utilitarian: newspapers, handbills, almanacs, textbooks, and works of… Read More

8vo, XXXIII, 659p., cloth, dj, b&w ill. As new.Vast in its scope and depth of scholarship, this second volume of the History of the Book in Canada extends the landmark research on Canadian book and print culture from 1840 to the end of the First World War. During this time, the lives of Canadians were shaped by technological innovation, political change, and settlement of the West by immigrants from Europe and migrants from eastern and central Canada and the United States. The development of steam power, telegraphy, photography, electricity, and the railroads transformed the book trades.Whether it was an urban daily, a small-town weekly, a newspaper published in one of a dozen languages, or a magazine, the periodical press reached readers across the country. The period also saw Canadian authors such as L.M. Montgomery write bestsellers that are still popular today, and marked the introduction of new voices, including those of Black communities, Native peoples, and the Métis led by Louis Riel, into… Read More
