On the Portraits of English Authors on Gardening, by Samuel Felton. Published 1830.

What an odd book. The title says exactly what it is, but yet it doesn’t. The author 1) makes a list of English authors who have written (or published) books about 2) gardens and gardening (including horticulture), lists them and discusses 3) portraits that have been made of them. These are not “word picture” portraits, but engravings of paintings, etc. that can be found in the various books. Oh, and 4) they were deceased at the time of writing.

“He Giveth His Beloved Sleep”, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Illustrated by Miss L. B. Humphrey, engraved by Andrew. Published 1882, ©1880.

One of my oldest clearances — it took a while for us to figure out that the best way to present this heavily illustrated book is the simplest way: as illustrations.

The Knickerbocker, or New-York Monthly Magazine, Volume 23, Issue 6.

The last one of this volume. It took a very long time — January’s issue was posted in September 2006; June’s just this month. I think I’ve got to get faster at producing them, because I’ll never get through 60 volumes at this rate…
