Bookcase Three: E-G

Ede, James. The Gold and Silver=Smith's Calculator; containing new and complete tables for showing the value of any quantity of Silver or Gold... London; T. Hughes: 1818. 2nd edition. Gold and silver usually did not come to the 17th and 18th century silversmith in neat little bars. It came as coins, jewelry, other silver, etc., and they had to make their own calculations, hence the need for guides such as this- "The editor...has long witnessed and experienced the great hazard and inconvenience to which the retailer of gold and silver was subject, through the want of an assistant like the present; the mode of calculation by a process of figures being always tedious and precarious, and frequently occassioning losses, when it occurs to persons not altogether competent..." Hardcover. 4.5"x5.5", about 200 pages.

Edmonds, Walter D. The First Hundred Years, 1848-1948. 1848- Oneida Community; 1880- Oneida Community Ltd.; 1935- Oneida Ltd. Oneida Ltd:1948. The story of the Oneida factories, etc., with photographs by Samuel Chamberlain. 6"x9", 75 pages plus 21 b&w plates.

Edwards, Maxine T. Mermaids and Saguaros: The U.S.S. Arizona Silver. Arizona State Capitol Museum: 1994. A beautiful, short study of the superb silver service made for the battleship USS Arizona by Reed & Barton. The service was commissioned in 1916, just a year after the Arizona herself, and cost over $9,000, much of it raised from private donations. The set, which combines nautical themes such as mermaids, Neptune and dolphins with Gila monsters and cacti, might have been lost when the Arizona blew up at Pearl Harbor, but it had been put into storage before the Arizona made her final, fatal trip to Hawaii. Used on several other ships since then, the set, regarded as one of the finest ever produced for the US Navy, was retired and returned to Arizona where it is on display in the Capitol Museum. Softcover. 7"x10", 39 pages, color and b/w illustrations.

Egger, Gerhart, et al. Vienna in the Age of Schubert. The Biedermeier Interior 1815-1848. Elron Press/V&A Museum: 1979.

Eisen, Gustavus A. The Great Chalice of Antioch, on which are depicted in sculpture the earliest known portraits of Christ, apostles and evangelists. New York; Kouchakji Freres:1923. Edition limited to 1000 copies.An elaborate Syrian silver chalice decorated with numerous scenes and figures of Christ and the Apostles, best described by Thomas Hoving in his recent book "False Impressions" (as he and a colleague examined it backwards and forwards, trying to prove or disprove the ever-present stories that it was a fake) -"We wrestled with the intriguing silver Antioch Chalice, bought in the thirties by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and hyped by some as the chalice used at the last supper. We found nothing that indicated that the Antioch Chalice is anything other than a properly primitive and technically awkward, totally genuine Syrian silversmith's work of the mid 5th century which copied the technique normally employed in making glass cups..." Eisen's massive set exhaustively documents the Chalice and its decorations; this book is perhaps the most elaborate work ever done on a single piece of silver. 2 volumes, 15"x18", 194 pages plus 2 plates of line diagrams, 46 photogravure plates with tissue guards, 2 photogravure plates of diagrams, and 12 original etchings by Margaret W. Kinney.

Ellenbogen, Eileen. English Vinaigrettes. Cambridge; The Golden Head Press, Ltd.: 1956. A diminutive book on a diminutive form; a scarce work. Ellenbogen provides what history she was able to unearth about the development and use of vinaigrettes, discusses some of the known makers, veers into a short discussion of aromatic vinegar, and finally provides 16 b/w plates illustrating 60 examples, including multiple views (open and closed) of most of the pieces. Hardcover, 6"x8", 39 pages plus 16 b/w plates, dj.

Ellis, Hubert Dynes. A Short Description of the Ancient Silver Plate belonging to the Worshipful Company of Clothworkers, with three illustrations and a table of maker's-marks. London; 1891. A nice collection of silver, illustrated in three group photos, but what is really unusual about this little catalog is the fact that the illustrations are three real photographs mounted on a stiff linen backing. An awkward way of presenting photographs, but perfectly appropriate for the Clothworkers' Company. Hardcover. 6.5"x8.5", 21 pages plus 3 folding real photographs mounted on folding linen plates, with facing text descriptions and two pages of marks.

Ellis, Hubert Dynes. A Short Description of the Ancient Silver Plate belonging to the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors; with two illustrations and a table of maker's marks. London; 1892. A charming small Company survey, with the plate illustrated in 2 group photos. The illustrations are real photos mounted on linen, which seems appropriate for a company of tailors... Hardcover. 7"x9", 21 pages plus 2 b/w real photographs mounted on linen plates. Pebbled blue covers with a gilt armorial decoration showing two camels rampant and a sheep.

Elwell, N[ewton] W. Colonial Silverware of the 17th and 18th Centuries. Comprising Solid Sets, Small Wares, Candelabras, Communion Service, etc. Boston; Geo. H. Polley & Co.: 1899. One of the earliest studies of American silver, and probably the earliest study to publish photos of American silver. Preceded by Buck, but then Buck was not wholly devoted to American silver. Of course, to be honest, this is not wholly devoted to American silver either, with English examples creeping in here and there. If we are going in this direction, it's not all 17th and 18th century either, but the intent at least was there. The plates mainly illustrate multiple pieces, identified by where they were photographed, such as "elaborate silver ware from Baltimore, Maryland", "Odd Silver Sugar Bowls, for Lump Sugar, from Maryland", and so on. Localities are much more likely, therefore, to relate to where the silver was at the time the photos were taken (mainly in private homes) rather than where it was made. There are some pieces with histories -silver known to have been owned by a certain person, several identified sets of church plate, etc. In 1896 Elwell had published a study of Colonial American furniture, and in 1897 he produced a companion volume of furniture and interiors of Colonial Maryland and Virginia, both of which used the same format as this book. All three books are scarce. Hardcover. 13"x17.5", 1 page of photo listings plus 74 b/w illustrations on 40 loose plates.

English Medieval Silver. London; HMSO / V&A: 1952. A merry little picture book with illustrations of items in the Victoria & Albert Museum. From their "Small Picture Book" series. Softcover. 5"x7", 4 pages of text plus 25 b/w plates.

Softcover. 6"x9", 57 pages, 140 lots, b/w illustrations.

Ensko, Robert. Makers of Early American Silver. New York; Robert Ensko: 1915. A very early study, predating even French's "Walpole List" by two years. Robert Ensko was a New York silver dealer, as was his son Stephen G.C. Ensko, who would eventually publish three more books on American silversmiths and their marks, dubbed "Ensko 1" (1927); Ensko 2 (1937) and Ensko 3" (1948); (an "Ensko 4" was published posthumously several years ago). This book thus precedes "Ensko 1" by some 12 years. In this work Ensko was attempting to list known and unknown makers of American silver, their locality and working dates. He lists marks where they are known, and only concedes the honor of being the first book of marks of American silversmiths to French because Ensko does not actually picture reproductions of the marks themselves, but simply lists them. He also includes several lists of unknown marks, including a group of pieces from the Clearwater Collection, and asks the readers to send him any information they might have. An exceedingly interesting seminal study of American silversmiths. Scarce. Hardcover. 7.5"x9", 46 pages, silver gilt stamped mustard-colored cloth covers.

Ensko, Stephen G.C. American Silversmiths and their Marks. New York; Privately Printed: 1927. Limited to 310 copies. "Ensko One", the first edition of Stephen Ensko's now-standard reference to American silversmiths and their marks. The edition was limited to 310 copies, and according to Colonel Robert Alan Green's own book on American Silversmith's marks, a number of the copies were destroyed in an accident. Hardcover. 6"x9", 219 pages, b/w plates.

Ensko, Stephen G.C. American Silversmiths and Their Marks II. New York; Robert Ensko: 1937. Actually this was Ensko's third book on American silver marks (most people don't count his rare 1915 book). It follows "Ensko I", published ten years earlier, and generally reflects the advances made in the scholarship in that decade. The Acknowledgments reads like a "who's who" of important figures in the field of American antique silver. Hardcover. 6.25"x9.5", 82 pages, line illustrations, marks.

Ensko, Stephen G.C. American Silversmiths and Their Marks III. New York; Robert Ensko, Inc.:1948. 3rd edition. 6.5"x8.5", 285 pages, charts, b&w illustrations.

Ensko, Stephen G.C. & Edward Wenham. English Silver 1675-1825. New York; Robert Ensko Inc: 1937. Ensko was for years one of New York's premier silver dealers, and as such had a great understanding and appreciation of silver forms and their development. More importantly, as a salesman he had the ability to impart this knowledge in an interesting way, and this is basically an extended chat the great variety of forms English (and therefore American) silver takes, and their development through the 17th and 18th centuries. And in what other silver book will you see the author quote Benjamin Disraeli in the Foreword? Hardcover. 6.5"x9.5", 109 pages, tipped-in b/w frontispiece and numerous line illustrations.

Eudel Collection. Catalogue de l'Argenterie Ancienne appartenant a M. Paul Eudel... Paris; M. Paul Chevallier: April 25-26th, 1884. A very nice collection of old French silver, mostly 18th century.

A Grammar of British Heraldry consisting of "Blazon" and "Marshalling" with an introduction on the Rise, Origin, and Progress of Symbols and Ensigns, etc. London; Longman, Brown, Green, & Longmans: 1847. A survey of the basic rules of heraldry, meant for the enthusiastic student who is feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the subject and length of the books about it. Rev. Evans explains- "The Author himself felt, when he commenced the study [of heraldry], how laborious a task it was to wade through the voluminous works of Gwillim, Holme, Leigh, Ferne, Edmonson, &c.; and therefore thought a desirable object would be obtained if the essential matter of those folios (which are to be met with in very few libraries) could be compressed within narrow limits." This he does in a literate and forthright manner, and illustrates his text with 23 plates. The Reverend Evans was a member of the Archeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland. A second edition was published in 1854. OCLC locates only 6 copies of this, the first edition. Hardcover. 6"x9", 188 pages, 23 engraved plates and two decorated title pages; portrait frontispiece.

A very interesting glimpse into the sophisticated world of -really- selling sterling silver, as practiced in the 1920s. These books seem to be somewhat uncommon. Softcover. 6"x9", 96 pages, line illustrations.

An augmented edition of this important study which was first published to coincide with a major loan exhibition in 1976.

The catalog is primarily devoted to furniture and secondarily to silver, with other arts also making an appearance. The decision to publish the new edition as a hardcover will also prove beneficial to constant users of this important book. Hardcover. 9"x11.5", 49 + 304 pages; b/w illustrations, dj.

Edition limited to 175 copies.An important association copy of an important book. Considered to be the first true study of American silver marks as it was the first attempt to reproduce the marks as they appeared on the actual silver. The glossary of silver terms was an extension of the Society's attempt to formalize and standardize nomenclature among collectors and researchers. An important seminal work, which was used as a basis for many later studies, and which encouraged the growing interest in American silversmiths and their work.  Hardcover. 6.5"x10", 163 pages, b/w illustrations

French, Mary B. Edwin Davis French -A Memorial. His Life .. His Art. New York; privately printed:1908. Edition limited to 475 copies; this is one of 425 on Italian hand-made paper. French was chief of the Engraving Department at Whiting Silversmiths, and a free-lance book-plate engraver. As his work on silver at Whiting was unsigned and his work as a bookplate engraver was, there is much more documented material about the latter here than the former. This book is an interesting sidelight for the silver enthusiast, however, as the number of biographies of American Victorian-era silver engravers is pretty small. In addition to discussing his life and work, there are complete lists of his bookplates, copper engravings and other "decorations" for books, reports, etc. 7"x10", xiii + 95 pages, with an engraved vignette on the title page, plus a gravure portrait frontispiece, another half-tone portrait, and 11 reproductions of bookplates.

Freshfield, Edwin. The Communion Plate of the Parish Churches in the County of Essex. Part 1. London; Rixon & Arnold: 1899. There was evidently never a part 2 to this series. Freshfield had earlier compiled records of plate in London and Middlesex, but had, as he put it -"collected (his material) almost entirely on Saturday afternoons in winter". Essex, further away, was more of a challenge- "the large majority of the parishes are quite beyond the reach, so to speak, of winter half-holidays". He was not one to waste time when he found it with "irrelevant or speculative detail, as to the pedigrees and ancestry of the donors of the plate" as other chroniclers did, and thought it best to simply "record names and any particulars inscribed either on the plate itself or on monuments in the churches". This first (and final) part of his survey of Essex led him to the Deanery of Barking, the Deanery of Barstaple, the Deanery of Chafford, and the Deanery of Chelmsford. A scarce study of English parish plate, privately printed and with only 7 copies listed on OCLC. Hardcover. 10.5"x13", iv + 36 pages, 4 b/w plates.

Frink, Jim. Indians in Sterling. A Pictorial Catalog of Souvenir Spoons Commemorating North American Indians. Rock Island; Jim Frink: 1983.

Softcover. 8.5"x11", 46 pages, b/w illustrations.

Frost, T.W. The Price Guide to Old Sheffield Plate. Woodbridge; Antique Collector's Club 1971. 1st edition.This is much more than simply an horrendously outdated price guide to Sheffield plate - in fact, that's the least of what it is. It is a vast number of photos of a wide variety of pieces of antique Sheffield plate, organized by type of object; it contains a very good short history of Sheffield plate and illustrated descriptions of how it was made, and it also contains some very helpful advice on detecting frauds and forgeries. Hardcover. 5.5"x8.5", 396 pages, hundreds of b/w illustrations; dj.

Furst, Paul. Neu Flarengesichter und Comperlimentbuchlein fur Bildhauer, Schreiner, und dergleichen Kunstler. Nurnberg; Paul Furst: 1654. An absolutely wonderful suite of engraved designs for craftsmen -sculptors, cabinet makers and metalworkers. Facial grotesque seems the best way of describing these ornaments -the heads of satyrs, Bacchian-types, demons and (I swear to God) Jay Leno, all make appearances, smirking, scowling, howling or laughing in churlish abandon. I can see these modeled in silver or gilt-brass or bronze. Not in the Berlin Catalog or NUC. 11.5"x7.25", engraved titlepage and 15 engraved figures mounted on contemporaneous sheets and sewn; now disbound, but with a minor spine remnant hanging on to show it was bound at one time. Also included are two similiar sheets with floral-inspired vignettes.

Sale 4329.An elegant collection that perfectly exemplifies the collecting being done by the wealthy in the early decades of the 20th century.

This sale included pieces that Francis Garvan thought were "unnecessary to the comprehensiveness of the Mabel Brady Garvan Collections at Yale. They are in no sense inferior pieces or duplications, but are other examples of types fully covered by the same or contemporaneous makers...". Needless to say, both the silver and furniture offered were outstanding. Card covers. 8"x11", 402 lots, about 300+ pages; b/w illustrations.

Gayre, Lt. Col. Robert. Heraldic Cadency. The Development of Differencing of Coats of Arms for Kinsmen and Other Purposes. London; Faber and Faber: 1961. An important study of the rules regarding "cadency" -the slight differentiations that must be made in each coat of arms for each different family member, since most Heraldic law states that no two individuals can have exactly the same coat of arms. These rules have been more honored in the breach than the observance in many places (esp. America) in the last several centuries. But rules are rules, you know? Hardcover. 7.5"x10", 159 pages, 4 color plates and 290 b/w illustrations, dj.

Gerstel, Vivian S. Silversmiths of Lancaster, Pennsylvania 1730-1850. Lancaster County Historical Society:1972. Lancaster became the largest inland city in the early days of the Republic, and attracted more than 40 silversmiths who worked there in the latter part of the 18th and early years of the 19th centuries. Lancaster smiths prospered and left a fine body of work which was stylistically influenced by Philadelphia tastes. This catalog consists of biographies of the silversmiths, and includes some photographs of marks. Photographs of the estate inventories of six silversmiths are also included. 6.5"x8.5", 145 pages, b&w illustrations; photographs of some marks.

[Gibbs, John] Ecclesiastical and Domestic Ornaments for the Workers in Wood, Stone, and Metal. A series of forty-eight plates containing Designs for Furniture and other Ornaments. London; R.A. Sprigg, Late Atchley & Co.: nd. A curious publication indeed, and just a little mysterious. The only other copy of which I have been able to find a record is in the V&A, and has evidently been there since the 19th century. Gibbs was an architect and furniture designer and manufacturer who published his well-known and influential "Designs for Gothic Ornaments and furniture, after the ancient manner, for ecclesiastical and domestic purposes, for the use of architects and workers in metal, stone wood, etc." in 1853 and 1854. That book consisted of 48 plates plus text. Although I do not have a copy of this work to lay side by side with the present title, it is tempting to speculate that this is simply a reissue of the plates without the text or Gibbs name on the title page (although his name is on the plates). I can also find no record of the publisher in the OCLC listings, although R.A. Sprigg and Atchley did work together on a few design-related projects in the 1870s. This book does not seem to be as late as that, probably no later than 1860 or so. "Designs for Gothic Ornaments" has been praised as fully comparable to Pugin, and the designs here certainly reach that level of quality and include chairs, bookcases, tables, hinges, mouldings and carved ornaments. 7.5"x11", title page plus 48 lithographed plates.

Gillingham, Harrold E. Counterfeiting in Colonial Pennsylvania. Numismatic Notes and Monographs No.80. New York; American Numismatic Society: 1939. The faking of coins and currency was a major problem in Colonial America -it has been estimated that more than 500 counterfeiters were operating in the colonies in the year 1768, and this may well be far too small a number. Silversmiths, blacksmiths, tinkers, engravers and other craftsmen who worked with metal and an engraver's tools were especially well suited to turn to the often-lucrative sideline of counterfeiting Colonial coins and currency, and although the bills said "Death to Counterfeit", the death penalty was rarely used in such cases. This scholarly study examines the counterfeits, and the men who created them in 17th and 18th century Pennsylvania. Another, expanded edition of this title, authored by Kenneth Scott, was published in 1955. Softcover. 4.5"x6.5", 52 pages, 2 b/w illustrations.

Gillingham first published on this topic in 1926 and 1934, and this study is based on records and manuscript material which came to his attention after his 1934 periodical publication. This includes copies of many itemized invoices and bills from a number of silversmiths. This copy was presented by Gillingham to Mrs. J. Amory Haskell, one of the most famous and outrageous collectors of American antiques of the 20th century. Her collection was disposed of in six magnificent sales at Parke-Bernet in 1944 and 1945. A wonderful association copy of an important, rare book. Hardcover. 6.5"x10", 26 pages plus 4 b/w illustrations on 2 plates.

Gillingham, Harrold E. Lotteries in Philadelphia Prior to 1776. Reprint from Pennsylvania History, Vol.V, April, 1938. The vast majority of lotteries held in Philadelphia prior to 1776 were for property, houses, roads or church improvements. However, there were a few trades-related lotteries, including one for the Flint Glass Manufactory in Richmond, and one for Steigel's "Flint Glass Manufactory at Manheim". In 1727 there was a lottery where the prizes were silver and gold work made by New York silversmith Simeon Soumain, and several area silversmiths are mentioned as managers of lotteries for civic and private improvements during this period.

Girl Scout Loan Exhibition. Loan Exhibition of Eighteenth Century and Early Nineteenth Century Furniture & Glass... Portraits by Stuart, Peale and others, for the Benefit of the National Council of Girl Scouts, Inc. New York; American Art Galleries:1929. The importance of the Girl Scouts Loan Exhibition cannot be overstated, although sometimes it seems it has become something of a cliche. Simply put, it was the most important and richest loan exhibition of American antique furniture and other decorative arts ever staged to be drawn in large part from private collections; although it did not start the popularization of American antiques, it contributed largely to its continued success and gave both scholars and collectors new focus; it brought a large number of prominent dealers and collectors together in a way which had not been accomplished since the Hudson-Fulton exhibition of 1909; it provided the first broad popular showing of American Federal-period antiques; finally, it inspired an enthusiasm which gave impetus to new books, catalogs and research. The Girl Scout Exhibition is seen by many as the starting point for all serious modern scholarship in the fields of American decorative arts. The catalog features illustrations of fine furniture, textiles, glass, ceramics and paintings, drawn from noteable collections from across the country. 7.5"x11", 926 items, numerous b&w illustrations.

This book covers the factory between the years 1768 and 1782, the methods by which ornaments were designed, made and marketed and Boulton's own keen interest in promoting the business. It is a comprehensive account of the range of vases, candelabra, clock cases and other ormolu ornaments and of the customers who bought them. The author has once again combined meticulous research with a narrative style that makes the book a pleasure to read. Most of the photographs have been taken especially for this study, and the ornaments are described and illustrated in greater detail and in larger numbers than ever before." Hardcover. 8.5"x11", 432 pages, 276 color and 116 b/w illustrations, dj.

The catalog is nicely printed on cream paper with clear monochrome photos. A pity they only printed 1000 copies, but hey, here is one... Hardcover. 7.5"x9", 255 pages, 175 b/w illustrations, color illustration tipped onto the title page.
