PublishingAfter a gap of many years, Quaritch is pleased to mark its re-establishment in the field of publishing. We have now published several works, details of which can be found below. We also distribute a number of publications for the Roxburghe Club.
4to (250 x 190 mm), pp. [192], with numerous black and white illustrations; blue cloth, pictorial dust-jacket. £50
A hardback reprint, limited to 200 copies, of our 1996 catalogue of books written by Jesuit authors or relating to the Society of Jesus, which has long been unavailable and has become sought after as a permanent reference work.
ISBN-10: 0 9550852 1 7.
8vo (260 x 185 mm), pp. 308, with over 200 illustrations; blue cloth, pictorial dust-jacket. £65
Designed as a practical reference guide to the history of photography in Japan from its beginnings until 1912, this presents the results of important new research and a mass of data gathered from long-forgotten and largely inaccessible nineteenth-century sources.
ISBN-10: 0 9550852 4 1
4to (250 x 190 mm), pp. 112, with black and white illustrations; grey cloth. £35
A revised and illustrated edition of our 1984 catalogue of early books on cabinets of curiosities and collecting, written by Paul Grinke, who has added a new preface and a selective bibliography of books on the subject published since 1970.
ISBN-10: 0 9550852 0 9.
8vo (250 x 145 mm), pp. 68, [4]; blue cloth. £60
Printing in full for the first time five letters from the poet and classical scholar A. E. Housman to A. W. Pollard, Keeper of Printed Books at the British Museum, this explores a friendship that was both intimate and formal. Edited by H. R. Woudhuysen, this edition is limited to 350 numbered copies, letterpress printed, with a tipped-in facsimile of Housman’s last letter to Pollard.
ISBN-10: 0 9519182 7 3.
4to (285 x 250 mm), pp. 308, with over 500 illustrations, including 85 full-page tritones; dark brown cloth, pictorial dust-jacket. £60
Profusely illustrated, this is the most comprehensive survey to date of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century photography of the Middle East and North Africa. Using Orientalist painting as a counterpoint, it primarily relates the extraordinarily rich visual documentation of the peoples and cultures of the ‘Orient’. Many of the photographs reproduced here have never been published before. Biographies of more than 90 photographers are given, with details of their various identifying marks, allowing now the correct attribution of works that have hitherto been anonymous or misattributed.
ISBN: 978-0-9550852-5-3.
Small folio (350 x 255 mm), pp. li, [3], 33, with 10 coloured illustrations and a reproduction of the original Columbus Letter; title printed in red and black; blue cloth, pictorial dust-jacket. £60
Republished here in an edition of 500 copies is the first authoritative study of the unique Spanish Columbus Letter which Bernard Quaritch sold to the Lenox Library in 1892. Besides Felipe Fernández-Armesto’s extensive Introduction, this edition includes an essay by Martin Davies on the printing of the original Columbus Letter at Barcelona in 1493 and, drawing on material surviving in the Quaritch Archive, the story of how Quaritch marketed it in America.
ISBN-10: 0 9550852 2 5.
8vo (220 x 140 mm), pp. xiii, 90, with 21 illustrations (two coloured); title printed in red and black; blue cloth, dust-jacket. £60
Now retired as curator of rare books at Harvard, Stoddard’s interest in the great French bookseller-bibliographer, Jacques-Charles Brunet (1780-1867), goes back to his undergraduate days. A few years later, he writes, ‘I began to collect Brunet for myself and to describe copies of his books when I traveled. I learned a lot that I wanted to share, so I made a bibliographical catalogue . . . ’.
ISBN-13: 978 0 9550852 3 9.
