Publishers' Binding Thursday

It's an Arts and Crafts Publishers' Binding Thursday this week, with A Book of Old English Ballads featuring illustrations by American painter, illustrator, and author George Wharton Edwards. Published in New York by the Macmillan Company, the book includes an introduction by American essayist, critic, and editor Hamilton W. Mabie. The illustrations and cover are done in the Arts and Crafts style, which flourished between 1880 and 1920. This book was published in 1896 at the height of the Arts and Crafts movement.

The cover has the same rather ornate design as the title page, which features a harpist playing under a lit lamp. The illustrations are detailed and the decorations equally so. The spine features the title, illustrator, and introducer in ornate fonts.

George Wharton Edwards (1859-1950), “A Book of Old English Love Songs”, 1897 Love is the only impetus that is sufficiently overwhelming to force us to leave the comfortable shelter of our well-armed individuality, shed the impregnable shell of self-sufficiency, and crawl out nakedly into the danger zone beyond the melting pot where individuality is purified into personhood.

A new exhibit has sprung up outside of Colgate’s Special Collections and University Archives reading room! Ever wonder who exactly was responsible for the travel books written during the early part of the twentieth century? 

Wait, what’s that? You have never wondered that in your entire life!?

Well now is the time to start! These painters and writers lived fascinating lives so full of incident and exploit that finding the time to publish a travelogue was the least of their accomplishments. They were journalists, soldiers, explorers, nurses, professors, poets, painters, founders of national parks, and parents of famous children. One was even an accountant! 

Curious now? Come down to the second floor of Case Library and learn more about this truly interesting group of world travelers!
