MITTON, Geraldine Edith (text). Mortimer MENPES (illust.). The Thames. London, Adam and Charles Black, 1906.

8vo., Original grey-blue cloth with decorative boards printed in green, white and light blue, lettered in gilt with a gilt top edge; 55 colour-plate illustrations, captioned on the tissue guards and 20 colour printed chapter headings, pull-out map of the Thames and [2] pp publishers advertisements; endpapers far less toned than usual, a very good, fresh, copy with gist inscription, dated 1940 to front fly-leaf.

First edition. 3000 copies. This volume is unusual in that this was the first time such illustrations had appeared as chapter headings on the same page as the text matter. A laborious process, in that the paper had to first be coated (as the three colour process was only successful on art paper), the experiment was not repeated. A previous text written by Menpes' daughter, Dorothy, was rejected for being of an 'inadequate quality'.

‘A & C Black’s Twenty Shilling series of colour plate books, published from 1901 onwards, brought the world into the home at a time when travel, especially overseas, was much more difficult than it is today. For the first time books containing large numbers of colour plates – up to 100 per volume – were made available to the public at an affordable price.’ (Inman)

Our dogs hurt their mouths chewing these bones
Color: Purple & Blue
I don't do a lot of reviews because I realize many are objective opinions. However, in this case I felt it was necessary to warn others. Our dogs are aggressive chewers. Their last rubber bones (not these) which we've purchased before, and recently purchased again, were destroyed quickly. Chunks of rubber came off the ends. Since those didn't hold up like they used to, I found these harder bones hoping they would last longer. They were able to gnaw into the hard plastic within a few minutes. This created sharp edges that cut their mouths. When I saw a bit of blood on the bones, I took them away from the dogs and threw them away. I wondered why they quit chewing on them after being so excited at first. Also, these are hard enough to damage a tooth.
