Edward McKnight Kauffer although an American is considered one of the most important graphic designers in Britain in the first half of the 20th century. He had come to Europe to develop a career as a painter but stranded in England with the onset of WW1 he decided to stay. In need of an income he tried his hand as a graphic designer and was lucky enough to get commissions from Frank Pickof London Transport. He became its most prolific poster designer. Although best known as a designer of advertisements and posters - a neglected but not at all insignificant part of his output - both when he was in England and after he returned to America in 1939 was his designing book jackets. One of the first artists to work in this media he produced challenging modernist designs which stood out from others particularly when compared with the realistic often romanticised images then current in the States. This book is the first on this aspect of his work including illustrations of some 250 jackets and an account of the publishers who commissioned them.

In it we can see the hotel with the pusher biplane in front of it on the sand with people and cars surrounding it. Ruth Law was the pilot. Old crease hard to see. Framed and glazed. Very good.Ruth Law enrolled in Burgess Flying School in Boston in late June of 1912 and made her first solo flight on August 1st. After receiving her pilot's license she took a job with the Clarendon Hotel for the Winter of 1912. There she made daily exhibition flights and carried tourists for brief flights. By the summer of 1913 she had her own plane and signed up for the same kind of employment at a Newport Rhode Island resort. The photographer Richard LeSesne was mainly noted for his photography of land speed record attempts on Daytona Beach Florida in the 1920s and 1930s although he was active as early as 1897.

ONE OF 60 COPIES. 65 x 45 mm. 2 1/2 x 1 3/4". 20 pp. 1 leaf. <br/> Quarter red leather over patterned paper boards flat spine lettered in gilt Dutch gilt endpapers.<br /> With a leaf from the Kleine Print miniature bible containing an excellent engraving of Jezebel and Jehu from 2 Kings 9. DeHamel and Silver "Disbound and Dispersed" 196.5. See also: Welsh 938; Spielmann 280. The book in mint condition the inserted leaf just slightly browned at edges but fine and fresh.<br/> <br/> This charming little leaf book pays tribute to a very rare miniature Bible published around 1750 in The Hague. Composed entirely of engravings printed on one side only the work is a masterpiece of small-scale printing. In the words of the Spielmann Catalogue "Many of the scenes depicted in the original Bible are of astounding beauty considering the tiny scale upon which the artist had to work." The genesis of the present leaf book was the acquisition by the noted miniature book collector Ruth E. Adomeit 1910-96 of a fragment of 61 leaves from this Bible which she obtained during a European trip in 1953. Our copy contains an engraving showing the meeting between the military commander Jehu and the wicked Queen Jezabel which ends with Jezebel's being thrown from a window by her eunuchs. We see her mid-fall and upside down in the present image while Jehu watches triumphantly from his chariot. Not surprisingly given its small print run this item is not commonly seen for sale.

Two copies of the same work sold separately. <br/> Deep brown half morocco over marbled paper boards flat spine lettered in gilt. WITH A LEAF FROM the Newberry Bible. De Hamel and Silver "Disbound and Dispersed" 168.5. As new; one copy with the inserted leaf a bit browned with a small open tear to the margin not affecting the text but still excellent; the other with a very fine leaf just a bit browned at the edges.<br/> <br/> These two copies of this delightful publication feature a leaf of the famed 1780 Newberry "Thumb Bible" accompanied by an essay written by one of the 20th century's most noted collectors of miniature books. It is a charming tribute on the bicentennial of the publication of one of the world's smallest Bibles. The Newberry Bible fully titled "The Bible in Miniature or a Concise History of the Old & New Testaments" was produced by Elizabeth Newberry the niece of John Newbery pioneering children's book publisher and the namesake of the Newberry Medal. Ruth E. Adomeit 1912-96 was a lifelong miniature book enthusiast: along with being known for her personal library she wrote the leading bibliography of thumb bibles was editor of "The Miniature Book Collector" from 1960-62 and was active in the Miniature Book Society. This publication is made especially charming by its size which perfectly fits the tiny leaf it contains. Dawson's Book Shop unknown

(MATRIARCHY) VAN SAUN, Ruth
The Honey-Comb: Or Nine Months.
Los Angeles: Privately Printed 1920. Limited Author's Edition copy 414. Thick octavo. 529 7 index pp. Publisher's red cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering front cover with a gilt device of a snake encircling an egg. Minor Extremity wear. A very good copy.Inscribed by the author as no doubt all copies were. A very early prophecy of the coming to power of a worldwide matriarchy. From the anonymous introduction - Never before-as far as I know-has Woman's exalted place in God's creation so graphically and powerfully been portrayed; her potentialities for the re-generation of the race set forth. After showing the importance of woman's place in the processes of natural generation the writer proceeds with inexorable logic to demonstrate that man's re-generation is is in Woman's power that Re=Generated Woman is the manifestation of the Great-Ovum of the Virgin Mother and that Woman holds the Spiritual-unfoldment of the race in her hands.Or as Ruth Van Saun puts it: What a joy to dream of and a greater joy to be privileged to live in the coming Woman-Rule Age. The Wise Ones teach; We are now outgrowing the fifth-root race of the Patriarchate -Age which unmasked means the Man-Rule Age or "The Iron Age" - the age of the so-called Hierarchy the Savants the Lords and Rulers who have suppressed the mass-people and kept them in ignorance; the age that established a false standard of the inferiority of woman which has robbed woman of her God-given rights. We are now evolving into the sixth-root race or the Matriarchate-Age which unmasked means the Woman-Rule Age. or The Golden Age. Wise ones teach that the golden or woman-rule age will last for over 2000 years until the year $041. Privately Printed hardcover
