Highest Possible Medalist in the United Kingdom in Bread-making in 1886
Technological Examiner (1888-89) to the National Association of Master Bakers and Confectioners of
 Great Britain and Ireland
Certificated by Examininations under Government (Science and Art Department) in Chemistry, Mechanics, Machine Construction and Hygiene, and in Bread-Making Under the City and Guilds of London Institute (with “Honours”)
Expert since 1888 to “The British Baker”
Bread Judge at the International Exhibitions
Juror to the Universal Food and Cookery Association
lecturer on Bread-making Technology at the International Exhibitions, at the Borough Polytechnic, and
“The National School of Bakery”
etc., etc.

How to bake a good loaf, in a technological, scholarly and a scientific sort of way.
Illustrated with  “actual size” photographs- 8 black and white, as paste-ons, two superb “silver gelatin” photographs, 11 color photographic prints and 4 black and white photographic illustrations- all of types of bread loaves. In an introductory essay the author explains the difficulty in producing these photographs to illustrate the do’s and don’ts of breadmaking.
Martin Parr and Gerry Badger included this title in The Photobook: A History Volume 1, 2004 and and also mention it in interviews publicizing their book- curiously comparing the book and author to a 1980’s conceptual artist. It has since “risen” in the “sought after” art book and rare book market.
More curious though, is that it not mentioned in Elizabeth David’s bibliography in her comprehensive Bread Book published in 1977- and that bibliography is comprehensive as well.  green cloth hardcover,  rubbed at the corners, stamped title on front and spine, clean pages tight , no cracking,  decorative end pages. several pages of advertising  by millers and of machinery. Bitting 435; not in LOC, at Harvard.     $4500.
