SANGORSKI, Alberto, calligrapher and illuminator. RIVIERE & SONS, binders. Francis THOMPSON (1859-1907). The Hound of Heaven. London: [1915].

"I fled him, down the labyrinthine ways / Of my own mind..."

Illuminated manuscript in a fine relievo binding by Riviere incorporating 27 clusters of purple grapes and beautifully fluttering grape leaves. Signed by Alberto Sangorski. The calligraphed certification leaf at the end reads: "This manuscript ... was designed, written out, and illuminated by Alberto Sangorski for Messrs. R. Riviere & Son, Bookbinders and Booksellers by appointment to H.M. King George V., London. The miniature in frontispiece illustrates the third line of the poem. This manuscript will not be duplicated. This manuscript was executed by me," and signed "Alberto Sangorski".

Quarto (256 x 182mm). Illuminated manuscript on vellum, 11 leaves, including manuscript biographical leaf and manuscript colophon, these in red and black, plus four blank vellum leaves, tipped to guards (about four leaves with some pale foxmarks, marginal fingerprint on p.6). Richly illuminated on almost every page including a portrait of the poet on the title-page dated 1915 and signed by the artist in monogram, a full-page frontispiece miniature, many large initials on gold grounds, rich floral borders with flowers, vines and quatrefoils decorations.

Full crushed blue-green morocco by Riviere & Son, morocco doublures, all edges gilt. The upper cover with finely gilt pointillé frame with raised bands and an elaborate carved leather design of grapes and grapevines in seven colors of morocco, the lower cover with a similar design, but in reverse, with a narrower frame and a central panel of carved grapes instead of blue-green morocco; spine in six compartments with raised bands, gilt-lettered in two and with morocco inlay and gilt pointillé in the others; doublures with onlaid morocco gilt-ruled frames and interlocking cornerpieces, blue silk endleaves (touch of rubbing to a few grapes and to corners); original full morocco case lined in silk and velvet, metal clasps. Provenance: Christie's New York, 20 April 1979, lot 500.
