Jean and François Clouet, father and son, were Renaissance artists active in the 16th Century and were both French court painters. This collection of drawings is thought to have been put together by Catherine de Medici [Queen of France] and was purchased by the Earl of Carlisle in Flanders towards the end of the 18th Century. They were acquired from Castle Howard by the Duc d'Aumale in the late nineteenth century [subsequent to the publication of this book] and can now be found at Chantilly were they could be seen in a major exhibition during 2011.

Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire: Seven Acres Press, 1929.
1st and only edition. Title page printed in red, green and gold, top edge gilt. Full morocco, blind stamped with arts and crafts style decoration and with the letters E.C.T. and N.C.T. respectively in gilt on the front and rear covers. The inner top margin of the binding has the inscription blocked in gilt "FOR NORAH AND JOE/ WITH HAB'S LOVE I GO." Obviously a personalised binding. Emery Walker, a co-founder with Cobden Sanderson, of the Doves Press was a great influence on Haberly who first learnt his skills at the Central School of Arts and Crafts whilst in England on a Rhodes Scholarship to study law at Oxford. Haberly later briefly headed the Gregynog Press, although his tenure there was not a success. This is one of the scarcest titles from The Seven Acres Press's output of 21 titles, published in an edition of only 60 copies, this one numbered 26, additionally signed and dated by the author/illustrator/printer/binder. The covers just a little spotted otherwise a Fine copy.
