A fine copy. 2,000 Herman's inspiration for this work is well-described in his own words :'It must have been ten or more years ago that we began to spend summer weeks in the fishing village of Dunwich on the Suffolk coast, halfway between Aldeburgh and Southwold. The spell of that great sweep of shingle under its dome of East Anglian skies draws one back irresistibly, and there I spent hours on the beach drawing boats and the men. It was there that began my fascination with sea gulls, the aura of something near mythical that they brought to the scene. Back in my London studio, as I worked on the drawings in mixed media there, over the years I developed a concept of an abstract bird. The line of text under each bird grew out of wider, random reflection and was in no way intended as an illustration of the image. 47.(High House Press) Rymes of the Minstrels selected from a manuscript of the fifteenth century.

Original parchment binding, marked 'Cupid' across the spine. Pictorial bookplate of Francis Edwin Murray by W. R. Kean.. 2,250 Francis Edwin Murray ( ) was a Uranian poet and publisher of the late 19th and early 20th century. Almost totally forgotten today, his books of verse include Rondeaux of Boyhood (1923), limited to 300 copies, and From a Lover's Garden: More Rondeaux and Other Verses of Boyhood (1924), limited to 225 copies. The former was written under the pseudonym A. Newman. The latter contained an introduction by fellow Uranian John Gambril Nicholson. Murray also wrote a

13 bibliography of Austin Dobson, published in Murray worked as a printer, bookseller and publisher in the Brompton Road, London. He printed the works of other Uranians, including John Leslie Barford. Murray was born in 1854 into a dynasty of booksellers and it would have been no surprise to anyone that he would go on to become a bookseller and publisher himself. In fact, he was extremely good at it and surpassed his grandfather and father in the scale of his business operations. By the time this bookplate was created in 1893, at the age of 39, Murray had shops in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and his own publishing business. It is worth spending a moment dissecting some of the iconography within this image. Aside from depicting himself in medieval costume, there are roundels which show the arms of the towns in which he had his shops - and much else. Most fundamental, however, to Murray's position in the bookselling world, and indeed central to the design of the bookplate is a copy of a bound volume of The Clique which sits under Murray's hand. The Clique was a trade magazine that Murray founded and which placed him right at the heart of the bookselling establishment in Britain. The Clique continued for decades and was run for some time by Murray's son, it was also, from 1907, the official organ of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association. 59.
