A LIST OF PRE-1891 EXAMPLES OF BRITISH AND AMERICAN
PUBLISHERS' PRINTED BOOK-JACKETS, SLIP-CASES, AND
OTHER DETACHABLE COVERINGS
THIS list does not attempt to be a census of all surviving examples; it is simply
a record of those that have come to my attention over a period of
more than thirty-five years. But because it is a sizable list (with nearly four
hundred entries), it provides a reasonable body of evidence for generalizing
about the history of publishers' detachable coverings through 1890. (A list
covering the next decade will be published later.) It also gives one a basis
for extrapolation: by noting which publishers are known to have used jackets
or slip-cases in particular years, one is in a better position to conjecture
whether any other book from the same period was likely to have had such a
covering at the time of its publication. (In the case of series, one can be nearly
certain that the other titles in a series, in addition to those listed here, had
jackets; but the list records only the specific titles known to have survived in
jackets.)
Entries are arranged chronologically, and within each year they are ordered
alphabetically by publisher (then author). The year of each entry is the
date of the copy cited, which may be later than the date of the first printing.
I have generally repeated the dates given in my sources without further investigation
(which would in any case probably be inconclusive without the
copies at hand); but when I have reason to suspect that the year assigned by
a source is based on a copyright-page date and that the book may possibly be
from a later printing, I have placed an asterisk after the citation. Copies that
have been assigned approximate dates are listed separately at the end. The
serial numbers assigned to the entries consist of the last two digits of the year,
followed—after a period—by consecutive numbers within the year. (For the
two eighteenth-century entries, all four digits of the year are used; and for
entries in the "Approximate Dates" section, an "X" replaces the year-digits.)
The amount of information in the entries varies considerably, depending
on what was available in my sources and notes. Each entry normally has four
parts (though the third is lacking in some instances). (1) Publisher and city
(usually excluding the names of any secondary publishers or cities mentioned
in imprints). (2) Author, title, and (if applicable) series or edition (with the
names of editors, illustrators, and translators selectively added). (3) A brief
description of the jacket and/or slip-case, indicating (when my information
allows) the color (if other than white, gray, tan, or cream), the surfaces containing
printed matter (with unusual features of the content mentioned),
and the color of the printing (when other than black). (4) Source(s), including
institutional libraries, private collections (with years signifying the latest
date when to my knowledge the books were in those collections), dealers'
or conversations; when the citations (in all these categories) are brief,
they are usually identified more fully in the index. Published illustrations
are referred to in the following entries: 03.1, 23.1, 24.3, 26.2, 27.2-3, 28.1-2,
29.1, 30.2, 32.1, 44.1, 46.1, 57.2, 60.3, 61.1, 65.1, 69.4, 70.2, 73.1, 76.3, 78.2,
78.6, 78.9, 82.8, 86.5, 86.13, 88.5, 89.24.
The following symbols are used to signal entries for detachable coverings
other than jackets of the now conventional type:
§ | envelope or all-over wrapping |
¢ | cloth jacket(s) |
† | sheath or box |
‡ | box and paper jacket(s) |
†¢ | box and cloth jacket(s) |
The index to the list is subdivided as follows: (1) Authors, editors, illustrators,
and translators (plus personal-name subjects, and titles without named
authors). (2) Publishers and series: British (London); British (other than
London); American (New York); American (other than New York). (3) Libraries.
(4) Collectors. (5) Dealers and auction houses. (6) Scholars (and other
persons who have provided information, not covered under previous headings,
in published or unpublished form).

¢ 19.1. | Richard Phillips (London; printed by William Lewis for Richard Phillips, and sold by J. Souter and "all booksellers"). "David Blair" [Richard Phillips], The Universal Preceptor. 10th ed., 1819. Black limp roan jacket with black paper backing, stamped in blind on front and back (a two-line border around the edges) and in gold on spine (title). One's first thought about this jacket is that it was made by an owner of the book, and it very well may have been. But three pieces of evidence (furnished to me by Selwyn H. Goodacre, the owner of the book in 1982) suggest at least the possibility that the jacket was supplied by the author-publisher or by the bookseller named in the imprint (or another bookseller) at the time of original sale: (1) at the foot of the title-page, the price is stated as "4s. 6d. bound"; (2) the front paste-down endpaper has an inscription dated "October 13 1825"; (3) the binding has no lettering whatever. Thus the binding dates from before 13 October 1825, and in light of the title-page notation (indicating that copies were sold bound) it may date from 1819; and perhaps the reason that the binding has no lettering is that it was to be provided with a jacket carrying a spine-title. This reasoning leads me to include the jacket here with a question mark. [Collection of Selwyn H. Goodacre, 15 October 1982.] |
