Hammersmith: Doves Press, The, 1910. original limp vellum, custom slipcase. Doves Press. 8vo. original limp vellum, custom slipcase. 260, (1); 373, (1) pages. First edition (first part, one of 300 copies on paper; second part, one of 250 copies on paper). From the library of bibliophile and long-standing Grolier Club member David Allen Fraser (1911-2003). Spine of Part Two lightly age darkened. Some discoloration to vellum, as usual. Housed in a finely-crafted custom cloth slipcase with leather fore-edges to protect both volumes. Overall a near fine set of this increasing scarce publication. Tidcombe DP10 and DP20; Tompkinson pp. 55-56, 10 and 20. Bound by The Doves Bindery, with bookbinder's ticket on rear pastedown.
Printed by T.J. Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker in black and red from the 1887 and 1889 Weimar Editions. After establishing the Doves Bindery in 1893, Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson partnered with Emery Walker to found the Doves Press in 1901. Alongside the Kelmscott, Ashendene and Vale presses it is considered one of the cornerstones of the Golden Age of Private Press, drawing heavily on the spirit of the Arts & Crafts Movement that flowered at the turn of the century. The two partners, along with Sydney Cockerell, created type based on Nicolas Jenson's Roman type (1470s), named the 'Doves Type.' Unfortunately, the relationship between the two partners deteriorated, resulting in said type being famously dumped in the Thames, where it languished until 2014, when it was rescued and subsequently digitalised.

Hundreds of black and white halftone plates, depicting the various paintings. On the opposite leaves, printed in red ink, are the painting titles and artists. A front blank contains a tipped-in photograph of Schemm, surrounded by his bounty of paintings. A crisp, clean copy in the publisher's red cloth, stamped in gilt. Very minor dust-soiling to the cloth, and an owner's name on the front free endpaper, else a rather crisp, sharp example; near fine. A very nice production.
