About This Item
London: The Kelmscott Press, 1898. First Printing. Printed paper book label, 1 inch by 2 ½ inches, FROM THE LIBRARY / OF EMERY WALKER / NO. VII THE TERRACE / HAMMERSMITH". Printed in Golden Type. This is the second issue of Walker's bookplate; originally printed at The Kelmscott Press in 1898 with Walker's earlier address of No. 3 Hammersmith Terrace; this No. 7 Hammersmith Terrace label is later and perhaps printed by line-block (see below). A fine unused example. Peterson, A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE KELMSCOTT PRESS, See Item D10.3.
¶ "Sir Edward Burne-Jones label for his own use was one of a series printed at the Kelmscott Press on 25th February, 1898, in Kelmscott Golden Type. Others printed at the time were for Emery Walker (at No. 3 Hammersmith Terrace; his No. 7 Hammersmith Terrace label is later and perhaps printed by line-block), Charles Fairfax Murray, May Morris, Laurence W. Hodson, H. C. Marillier, John and Margaret Mackail (she was Burne-Jones daughter), and a posthumous label for William Morris own books." - from Brian North Lee, "British Bookplates - A Pictorial History", London, 1979. Wikipedia: "Sir Emery Walker (2 April 1851 22 July 1933) was an English engraver and printer. Born in London, Walker took an active role in many organisations that were at the heart of the Arts and Crafts movement, including the Art Workers Guild, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. In the late 1870s Walker frequented William Morris, with whom he shared both Socialist beliefs and a keen interest in printing. Walker's collection of 16th-century typefaces inspired Morris to create the Kelmscott Press. After Morris' death, Walker set up his own printing enterprise, the Doves Press, with bookbinder T. J. Cobden Sanderson which in turn inspired the private presses of the 20th century."
