Publishers’ Binding Thursday

It’s time for another Publishers’ Binding Thursday post! This week I’m sharing The Happy Prince and Other Tales by famous Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). This edition of this collection of short stories was published in 1913 in New York by G.P. Putnam's Sons. It features art-nouveau-esque illustrations by British book illustrator Charles Robinson (1870-1937), who came from a family of illustrators including his father and brothers. This book is part of our Historical Curriculum Collection of books for children. 

The cover features the statue of the titular Happy Prince and the swallow who befriends him in the story (which is quite sad) stamped in gold on purple book cloth. The spine is highly decorative, featuring floral motifs and the title, author, illustrator, and publisher. I find it interesting that the title on the cover is “The Happy Prince and Other Stories” but on the title page it’s “The Happy Prince and Other Tales.” I wonder if there was a miscommunication or change that happened that led to them being different!

Publishers' Binding Thursday

This week's Publishers' Binding Thursday books are the two-volume set Astoria, or, Anecdotes of an Enterprise Beyond the Rocky Mountains by Washington Irving (1783-1859). Irving was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, and historian, best known for his short stories "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Astoria was commissioned by fur magnate John Jacob Astor as a history of his company's exhibition to Oregon. Irving's vision was to have it be a story not just of Astor's company and its history and adventures, but a sketch of the country beyond the Rocky Mountains, with tales and descriptions of the people and places therein.

This edition was published in New York by G.P. Putnam's Sons in 1897. The cover design is by renowned publishers' binding designer Margaret Armstrong and is signed with her overlapping M.A. stamp. The title page decoration and the decorations on each page surrounding the text were also designed by Armstrong. They include design elements like fish, arrows, guns, acorns, beaver pelts, and more. Two of the four designs are featured in this post. The book features engravings by various artists and images based on photographs of the Columbia River and its environs.

There is also the bookplate of Arthur H. Anger (1871-1948), who was treasurer of Milwaukee's William Steinmeyer Company, which was a large retail grocery store. The Steinmeyer Building still stands on Old World Third Street/Dr. Martin Luther King Drive in downtown Milwaukee and currently houses the Wisconsin Cheese Mart.
