Description: First Thomson edition. This copy is in a gorgeous Kelliegram binding, with their signature onlay design on the front cover. "Kelliegram bindings were one of many innovations of the English commercial binding firm of Kelly & Sons. The Kelly family had one of the longest connections in the history of the binding trade in London, having been founded in 1770 by John Kellie, as the name was then spelled. The binding firm was carried on by successive members of the family into the 1930s. The development [during the 1880s] that came to be known as Kelliegram was one of the bindery's most notable, and the popularity continues today" (Dooley, p. 4). Published in time for the Christmas market in 1890, this edition of Goldsmith's novel enjoyed enormous success. Thomson had worked on the illustrations for two years: "He took exceptional pains to study and and realise the several types for himself, and to ensure the correctness of costume. From the first introductory procession of the Primrose family at the head of chapter i. to the awkward merriment of the two Miss Flamboroughs at the close, there is scarcely a page which has not some stroke of quiet fun, some graceful attitude, or some ingenious contrivance in composition" (Dobson, p. 116). Austin Dobson, De Libris. Prose And Verse, 1908; John Dooley, "Kelliegram Bindings", Bryn Mawr College Library Newsletter, number 2, April 1998. Octavo (175 x 115 mm). Early 20th-century Kelliegram binding of brown morocco, spine with raised bands, lettering and decoration in compartments, elaborate foliate and floral borders to covers, multicolour onlay morocco illustration to front cover after Thomson (p. 25), board edges and turn-ins tooled in gilt, orange silk endpapers, all edges gilt, green silk book marker. Numerous illustrations throughout by Hugh Thomson. Annotated by Eugene Field II, with an ownership inscription purporting to be from the library of his father. Old bookseller's description tipped-in to front binder's blank. Spine a little browned, else a fine copy, handsomely bound.
