S. Franciscus Serap. Saint Francis of Assisi
n.p.: n.a. 1800. Painting on vellum 3� by 4� inches. Finely detailed depicting St. Francis of Assisi the Seraphic Doctor in great detail. St. Francis complete with stigmata is accompanied by a crucifix thorns a flagellum a book resting on a skull and a flowering plant supported by a decorative border. There is no signature that we can discern. The miniature is mounted on card with a hinged mat of brown cloth. Dimensions of the mat are 5� by 8 inches. A collection label is pasted beside the miniature not visible when the mat is closed " Collection of A. & C. Rub Hollywood California.". On the reverse in ink and an unknown hand is inscribed "A gift from Christian Rub Moving Picture Actor. 1935." Christian Rub whose wife's name was Amy was an Austrian actor with over 100 movies to his credit. His career spanned from silent films until 1952. He was the basis for the animation of Gepetto and also Gepetto's voice in Walt Disney's 'Pinocchio'. The vellum is lightly age-soiled but still bright and vibrant; the reverse of the mount has some old staining but overall this gives a very good appearance. n.a. hardcover

Miniature 2.6" x 4.5" rebound in full brown leather with gold stamping and labels 5 hubs engraved frontispiece of Dr Saml Johnson engraved title page 160 pages. Rare Miniature of the larger original published in 1759. Rasselas is Dr. Johnson's version of a morality tale about what constitutes True Happiness that rivals Voltaire's Candide. The volumes' working title was "The Choice of Life." The name "Rasselas" means "The Chief" of a tribe in exotic Abyssinia. The Great Cham & Lexicographer was pro-emancipation and had a black manservant whom he treated very well. This minor classic was supposedly written by the good Doctor to defray expenses expected with his mother's funeral. In fact there are signs of extensive revisions in early editions that suggest greater literary intentions. Rebound in fine brown morocco with gilt stamped title and author on the spine. Foxed engraved frontispiece and title page otherwise pages bright and legible with a tight binding tight. Lower margin of page 7 roughly torn away but not affecting the clear text.
