INTRODUCTION?' ^ ; n-'ORl'^i

The object of the ensuing compilation is to place
on record a list of the many Bookplates executed
during the all too-brief career of an artist whose
early training at the Heralds' CoUege enabled him.
to specialize so successfully in these fashionable and
fascinating revivals of the present day.

With that training, It is not remarkable that the
majority of his bookplates were armorial, nor that
several years elapsed before a "pictorial" was at-
tempted. Indeed, not until 1907, when he began to
work in conjunction with Mr F. G. House, did the
latter become at all numerous. Even then they
were almost invariably etched from Mr House's
designs, but commissions executed prior to that date,
and notably for Mrs Eimington "Wilson, Lady War-
wick, Lady Jersey, and Miss Bostock, afford a suffi-
cient indication that the success of the artist did not
depend upon heraldic interpretation alone.

Criticism has been freely expended upon Mr Eve's
preference for the omission of heraldic "tinctures,"
and it must be admitted that the omission adds con-
siderably to the difficulty of identifying his anony-
mous armorials, and, as a matter of course, all un-
named "coats" and qnarterings also. But it was
ever his object to achieve broad effects, ajid to get
away from that over-minute finish of detail which in
any but the most skilled hands has done so much to

weaken the virility of heraldic charges, and to de-
tract from the .effectiveness of heraldic compositions
as a.whtil?:'! ■'./

. . .Writing himself upon this very subject in his Her-
atdr^ dir ^W;'-he-'^ves these reasons for his prefer-
ence, \iz :

On flat spaces, if the lines are sufficiently pro-
noonced to be legible, they may lead the eye in a
direction whic^ is not helpful to the composition, and
on modelled charges or crests they have a flattening
and confusing effect that is very disagreeable.

Such were his views, and whether they be accepted
or not in their entirety, I venture to think that few
will dissent from the verdict, that in his case, at any
rate, the end did justify the means.

I think also it will not be denied, that the most
striking features of his work are vigorous drawing
coupled with a perfect sense of balance and propor-
tion. If there be anything to add, it is consommate
skill in the modelling of lettering, and in displaying
it to full advantage of space and effect.

That Mr Eve's work should have appealed as
strongly, as it undoubtedly did, to one who belonged
to so different a school of artistic expression as the
late Mr GHeeson White, is no littie remarkable, and
suggests the expediency of quoting the dictum to
which he gave expression when pablishing the spedal
Bookplate Number of The Studio some years ago.
This is what he said :

Employing etching usually, he gains a certain
force which copper-plate engraving rarely, if ever,
achieves. His drawing is crisp, his floral forms re-
call the best examples of Gothic carvings, his sense

INTBODUCTION 7

of composition and spatong leaves nothing to be de-
sired. In short, wil^n the lunits of the armorial
plate be is in tbe very front raxik ; to say more wonld
be needless, to say less wonld be ungradous in face
of the plain facts evident to any observer.

If such be the considered judgment of one so well
qualified to give an opinion, bnt whose predilections
as regards bookplate art must have been all in favour
of "bla(^ and white" methods, what must be the
judgment of his brother-experts of the etched line,
those of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and
Engravers? Surely, the answer is supplied by the
fact that upon being graciously accorded the Boyal
Charter, they selected Mr Eve of their number to
execute the new Diploma — their own, so to speak,
"Insignia of Office."

Second only to Sherbom, his work remains to give
pleasure to the numbers who value it, and to genera^
tions to come, for an almost complete collection, not
only of his bookplates bnt of his other etdiings, has
been stored in that treasure-house of wonders, the
British Museum.

It was originally intended to omit from the list
those bookplates whi(^ bear other than his own or
the signature of Mr F. G. House, but a wish having
been expressed that the whole of Mr Eve's book-
plate work should be recorded, they have been in-
cluded. Nevertheless, it will be noticed that when
working under another signature, the artist, more
often than not, showed a disposition to modify or
disguise his customary characteristics both of ex-
pression and design.

Concerning the majority of the anonymous book-

plates, believed to have remained nneigned, enquiry
has faUed to elicit information. Several were exhib-
ited at the "B. E." in 1908, and the catalogue noti-
fied that they were for sale. That they were ulti-
mately finished and now bear the names of owners is
at least probable, search for the copper plates having
proved unavailing.

My thanks are due to Mr F. G. House for inform-
ation courteously and ungrudgingly afforded con-
cerning the bookplates which bear his signature, and
others which were executed for Messrs Tmslove &
Hanson through his mediation. Without them, as
will be evident enough, the catalogue would have
been sadly deficient. To him also, and to Mrs Eve
I am indebted for two of the copper plates used for
illustrating this volume, and to Mrs Loring, Mrs
Sharp, Mrs Tempest, and Lady Stamfordham for
having so kindly placed their copper plates at my
disposal (at Mr House's solicitation) for the same
purpose.

I must also express my obligations to Mrs Eve for
the loan of the admirable likeness from which the
frontispiece has been reproduced, and for the oppor-
tunity of examining a number of the original draw-
ings and sketdies, and thereby ascertaining the dates
of several "plates" which otherwise could not have
been assigned to the years to which ihey rightly be-
long.

For the style and production of the volume I can
claim no credit ; all that is due must be assigned to
Mr Alfred Fowler who, to my great satisfaction,
has relieved me of any trouble and responsibility in

that direction. At the same time, I tender him my
grateful thanks for having lent a eympathetie ear
to one or two snggeBtions upon which, in my ignor-
ance of details essential to the proper creation of a
book, I have been bold enough to venture.

A BRIEF SKETCH OF MB. EVE'S CABEEB

AND A FEW NOTES UPON SOME

OF HIS WORK

Couoeraing Mr Eve's private life and career I am
not in a position to speak at any length or with
anthority, and for the purposes of this voltune (which
makes no pretence of being more than a ^mple rec-
ord of that branch of his work best known to the
collector), l^e information contained in the obituary
notice, which appeared in the Morning Post of the
26th December, 1914, must suffice, as follows :

By the death of Mr G. W. Eve the art-loving
public loses one who in his own particular line was
the most distiugoished since Sherbom. Though
known to many priuoipally for the excellence of his
bookplates, Mr Eve was also one of the chief au-
thorities on heraldry, his "Decorative Heraldry"
(1897) and "Heraldry as Art" (1907) being too weU
known to need more than mention. In recent years
he gave a number of lectures on the art in which he
was so' great an authority, among them the Cantor
Lectures at the Society of Arts, 1906, as well as lec-
tures in London, Manchester, and Bradford. Bom
fifty-nine years ago, he early in life entered the Her-
alds' College, where his father had been before him.
There he acquired the knowledge that was after-
wards to stand him in such good stead when he struck
out as free lance. As a Fellow of the Eoyal Society
of Painter Etchers bookplates showing bis excellent
technique and successful spacing of design and let-
tering were regularly seen on the walls of their gal-

U A BBIEF SKETCH

kry and aUo apon those of the Academy. He was
also represented at other exhibitions of note, inelad-
ing the many international ezhibitionB that have
been held abroad from time to time. He was also a
member of the Art Workers' Qnild. Among his
best-known works may be mentioned the bookplates
for Qneen Victoria, King Edward, and King Q^orge ;
invitations for the Civic banquets, the work for the
Welsh Investiture, as well as a large amomit of Gov-
ernment designing, among it uie higher value
postage stamps, the nationaJ insorance Btanvffa, and
the new notes. He also executed the fine set of
shields and other gesso decorations for Alloa House,
Clackmannanshire, and latterly received nmnerons
oommissions from America. He married Mary El-
len, yoxmgest daughter of Dr Benjamin Hopewell,
of Chelsea, and leaves one son.

This was written, for the most part, from partitm-
lars provided by Mrs Eve, and I can add thereto but
Uttle.

No mention, however, is there made of his studies
at the City & Q-nilda Technical College, Finsbury,
where the art section was then under the direction of
the late Mr A. F. Brophy, and where under the
tuition of Mr Alexander Fisher, that master crafts-
man, he soon became sufficiently expert in the art of
enamelling to be able to use it to considerable ad-
vantage. One example of his proficiency is illustrat-
ed on page 179 of the Heraldry as Art already re-
ferred to, but in monotone only, so that colour effects
(upon which the more compelling beauties of an en-
amel chiefly depend) are completely lost, and must
needs be left to the imagination.

In the same volume will be found small photogra-

A BBIEF SKETCH 16

phio reproductions of one or two of Hie fifty-two
shields showing the matches of the Earl of iia.T and
KelUe's family, which were modelled in low retief
in gesso and coloured for use in the decoration of a
newly panelled hall at Alloa House. Here again the
colour effect is lacking, but an estimate may readily
be formed of the elegance of the designs, and tbe
daintiness, with no suspicion of weakness, of the
modelling.

It may he added, tliat as a lecturer, Mr Eve ex-
perienced no difficulty ia holding and interestdng his
audience, and that as a raconteur he invariably met
with sympathetic attention.

There is little doubt, judging from the few speci-
mens which are extant, that he could be entertaining
also with bis pencil, and those who remember the
menu-card of a feast provided for wielders of crayon
and quill (upon which he depicted the beast whidi
gives a name to the place of gatheiii^), and the card
of invitation which he designed for a Yorick Club
dinner in 1903, will readily endoree these remarks.
In the latter, an insinuating humour was portrayed
by virile pen-work, and accompanied by beautiful
letter most happily displayed.

In addition to the series of royal bookplates men-
tioned in the obitnary notice, Mr Eve was commis-
sioned to design and etch the Earl Marshal's com-
mand invitation to the coronation of their Majesties
King Edward VH and Queen Alexandra, and, witii-
oat doubt, it was this work which led to the several
cards of invitation to the Civic banquets which, were
executed in 1902, 1908, and 1910. All of them are

of considerable size, and contain more ihan a little
heraldry depicted in the artiet's castomary masterly
style.

Another fine piece of work was the heading for the
policies of the now absorbed "Pelican & British Em-
pire ' ' life OfiBce. In it he reproduced as the leading
feature, a gronp of figures of life-size until recently
to be seen over the doorway of No. 70, Lombard
Street, in the City of London, and said to have been
taken from the "elegant pencil'.' of Lady Diana
Beanderk.

Last in order, bnt far from last in merit, mention
must be made of the Diploma of the Boyal Society of
Painter-Etchers and Engravers toached upon in the
introdnction. No description is attempted, for to be
appreciated to the full it most .be carefully examined,
as mnch by reason of the riidiness and dignity of the
design as the excellence of the technique. For Lon-
doners, the opportunity occurs at regular intervals,
for it is invariably "on show" during the Society's
Annual Exhibition.

Mr Eve has left no bookplate of his own, and it
would be idle to attempt to surmise what apophthegm
or motto he would have selected for himself. That
being so, may not the choice be onrsT

A CHEONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE OF THE
BOOKPLATES WITH DESCKIPTIVE NOTES

The following points should be remembered in
making nse of the Catalogue :

The work of each year is arranged in alphabetical
order, the exact sequence of completion being un-
known.

The term "Full Armorial" denotes the whole
achievement including the motto, and in the ease of
Peers of the coronet of rank in addition to the helm.

All the armorial bookplates have a background,
unless there is a statement to the contrary.

The vertical measurement of the plate-marks al-
ways precedes the horizontal.

An asterisk against the number indicates that the
bookplate was executed for Messrs Tmslove & Han-
son.

It is convenient to add, that the copper plate writ-
ing to be found upon a nnmber of the bookplates
executed for Messrs Tmslove & Hanson is not Mr
Eve's work.

It will be noticed that there is an interval of five years
between this and the next "plate" which, likewise,
was engraved by another hand. Not until 1892 did
the artist produce a "plate" onaided, and no doubt
no little portion of the interval was devoted to the

two, as the bookplate of John H. Leveson Oower al-
ready entered and described under the heading of
1906.

As pointed ont in the Introdnetion, the coppers of
Beveral which, possibly, have never been finjabed,
cannot be traced. There is reason to believe that
they belong, approximately, to the same period as
the Wyons, and this belief is substantiated to some
extent by three of them being entered as for sale in
the Catalogue of the 1908 Exhibitioii of the Royal
Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers.
A drawing which Eve made of a bookplate for Mr
Briscoe has since been slightly modified and engraved
(to the complete satisfaction of the owner), by that
ac(x>mpli8hed yonng craftranan, Alfred J. Downey,
who is so rapidly coming to the front. It is interest-
ing to note, that whereas one of the earliest of Eve's
designs (see No. 2) was engraved by the father, one
of the most recent has been ^graved by the son.
