“Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be…”
Illuminated manuscript specially commissioned for the Grolier Society in a handsome Sangorski & Sutcliffe jeweled binding. With a very fine and delicately painted portrait of Rabbi Ben Ezra. The text of the poem is followed by an essay on Rabbi Ben Ezra by Furniwall and Kirkman, originally published in the papers of the Browning Society. The calligraphed certification leaf at the end has an illuminated headpiece with “GS” monogram and reads: "The poem of Rabbi Ben Ezra executed by the Grolier Society London, London" (recto) and "This copy of Rabbi Ben Ezra by Robert Browning, was especially written out, illuminated, and bound by hand and will not be duplicated. The Grolier Society London. Secretary C. Seaman Howell (signed)" (verso).
Quarto (242 x 177mm). Illuminated manuscript on vellum, 22 leaves, plus 6 blank vellum leaves. Pictorial title with a large portrait of Rabbi Ben Ezra, signed in monogram by Alberto Sangorski, surrounded by a fine patterned border in colors and tooled gold, the title in gold on a pink ground, large initial with foliate extensions; text on pp. [3]-41 with large opening illuminated initial in colors against a burnished gold ground with full-border extensions similarly decorated; 6 pages with three-quarter or full borders incorporating decorated initials against burnished or tooled gold grounds, other illuminated and penwork initials in the poems.
Full crushed caramel-brown pictorial morocco and jeweled binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, cream morocco doublures, silk flyleaves, all edges gilt. The covers richly inlaid with varicolored morocco, central panels of peacock feather design surrounded by a border of dark blue morocco strapwork and a floral design, corners with a quartrefoils design, each corner SET WITH AN OPAL; the lower cover identical to the upper except the cornerpieces with inlaid lighter blue morocco rather than opals.
