[Arion Press] Eliot, TS; Vendler, Helen, essay; Marco Livingstone, essay T S
The Waste Land
San Francisco: Arion Press 2007. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. Number 297 of 300 numbered copies of this deluxe edition of Eliot's seminal poem. There were also 26 lettered copies for complimentary distribution. This is the 79th publication from the acclaimed Arion Press. In the prospectus the book is described as the first illustrated edition of Thomas Stearns Eliot's most important work. This is a complex and elegant presentation of Eliot's literary masterpiece that he wrote in the aftermath of the carnage and violence of the first world war and the devastation of a global pandemic. The book is in sections described by the publisher as partitions. There first is an essay on the poem by noted poetry scholar Helen Vendler. The poem is interspersed with in detail and entire the painting "If Not Not" by R.B. Kitaj. Kitaj 1932 - 2007 was an American artist who spent much of his life in England. He had a significant influence on British pop art with his figurative paintings featuring areas of bright color economic use of line and overlapping planes which made them resemble collages but eschewing most abstraction and modernism. Allusions to political history art literature and Jewish identity often recur in his work mixed together on one canvas to produce a collage effect. Wikipedia In an essay by Marco Livingstone describing the poem written by Kitaj in 1975-76 as an ambitious mysterious and haunting work that occupies a key position in his history as The Waste Land does in Eliot's. Kitaj in fact took inspiration from Eliot's poem and stated that his picture bears a certain allegiance to it.<br /> <br /> The Waste Land was edited designed and produced by Andrew Hoyem at his Arion Press. The types are handset 18 point Bauer Bodoni for the poem with larger sizes for display and 12 point Bodoni Book for subsidiary text. Printed on Somerset Book for the text with Mohawk Superfine for the pictorial pages printed by color offset lithography. Bound in gray cloth with the title in brown on the front cover and the title author and artist on the spine. The binding and the text and pictorial pages are all in fine condition. Accompanied by the prospectus. Measures 12 x 12.5 inches. 68 pages. PRI/092024. Arion Press hardcover

Narrative of an Expedition to the Zambesi and Its Tributaries; and of the Discovery of the Lakes Shirwa and Nyassa 1858-1864
London: John Murray 1877. Reprint. Octavo 23cm. Brown cloth stamped in gilt and blind; brown endpapers; xvi60820pp; 20-page publisher's catalogue at rear; folding frontispiece folding map at rear with routes traced in red black and white illustrations. Rubbed lightly sunned at spine front hinge cracked through: Good only. <br /> <br /> An account of the Livingstone brothers' exploration of the Zambesi river based heavily on Charles' journals. The expedition was highly expensive resulted in multiple deaths yielded relatively little new geographical or scientific information and David Livingstone's "plans to check the slave trade had come to nothing" ODNB. Livingstone's activism after his journey did result in the creation of the UMCA. <br /> <br /> Despite the 1865 date on the title page this copy is clearly a much later issue from the original publisher as demonstrated by the 1877 publisher's catalogue and the presence of blind- rather than gilt stamping on the front board first edition copies were stamped in gilt.

Whymper; original red printed pictorial wrappers some small loss to spine else a very good copy.<br /> Rare. The first appearance in book form of any account of Livingstone's travels in Africa the preface is dated January 1857 and his Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa did not appear until November of that year.<br /><br />The preface states that 'in giving to the world the first authentic narrative of the important explorations of the Rev. Dr. Livingstone the publishers have to acknowledge their obligations to the spirited conductors of the British Banner in whose columns in detached portions this remarkable history first appeared. The interest awakened by the return of the Missionary wanderer to his native land after an absence of fifteen years is scarcely second to the anxiety manifested to obtain information as to the actual discoveries which have been made.' It claims the map was revised by Livingstone himself despite the Kalahari being described as the Lahari and the explorer's name is spelt incorrectly throughout.<br /> Mendelssohn 1957 I p.908 and Mendelssohn 1979 III p.430.

Autograph Letter Signed by J. MOFFAT Jr headed "Livingstone" to an unnamed correspondent David 1813-1873 Scottish Missionary & Explorer
discussing the details of a lease on some farmland he says "Mr Spencer says there was no mention in Messrs Cambbell Martin & Boswell's Letter.of the 'very extraordinary clause' in Mr Tusk's lease and so far as he knows there was no mention made of the clause in the papers & extracts which accompanied that letter. In any case he says the lease was arranged before. Mr Tusk has paid his Rent but my Father thinks he should be told to cultivate his farm according to his lease as of course it makes a great difference to the shootings as to Partridges etc." 2 sides 8vo. Rock Park Castle Douglas 7th December Mary Livingstone 1821-1862 was the wife of David Livingstone. Her father Robert Moffat was a Scottish Congregationalist missionary who worked among the Bechuana people at Kuruman. He had 10 children so this letter must have been written by one of Mary's brothers. Presumably this refers to some land left by Livingstone and administered by the family. unknown

[Livingstone, Dr; African]; Stanley Henry M
LIFE AND FINDING OF DR. LIVINGSTONE Containing the Original Letters Written by Stanley
London: Dean & Son Limited ca. 1880. First Edition. Illustrated throughout with full-page plates from cuts on wood. 8vo publisher's original Victorian red cloth beveled edges pictorially decorated and lettered in black and green on the upper cover the spine decorated in black with author and title on two gilt background labels. xxii 335 1 ads. pp. A very good copy bright and clean with light evidence of age. FIRST EDITION. The quest to recover David Livingstone is one of the most famous travel adventures and manhunts in history. By 1870 Livingstone had been missing for long enough that it was generally accepted that he had died somewhere in Central Africa. However James Gordon Bennett proprietor of the “New York Herald†was convinced that Livingstone was still alive and dispatched a richly laden H.M. Stanley to find him. Stanley embarked on his quest on March 12 1871 and after overcoming “innumerable difficulties†he found a discouraged and disheartened Livingstone at Ujiji on November 10. Stanley then uttered the oft-quoted line “Dr. Livingstone I presume†This it is said helped to renew the good doctor’s hope. The two soon set off on an exploration of the north end of Lake Tanganyika and eventually discovered that the Rusizi runs into it and not out of it. Stanley left Livingstone well-provisioned and spiritually inspired on March 15 1872 and came back to England and shortly published this “picturesque narrative†of his experiences helping to secure his reputation as a “leader of men and an explorer of great promise.†<br> Stanley’s travels on this first expedition not only made his literary reputation but also laid the geographical groundwork for his subsequent journey narrated in “Through the Dark Continent†and gave him the tremendous practical experience in African travel that made his third expedition to rescue Emin Pasha narrated in “In Darkest Africa†such a success.

Scottish physician Congregationalist and pioneer Christian missionary and explorer of Africa David Livingstone was one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era. Livingstone's fame as an explorer and his obsession with learning the sources of the Nile River was founded on the belief that if he could solve that age-old mystery his fame would give him the influence to end the East African Arab–Swahili slave trade. His subsequent exploration of the central African watershed was the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of Africa. At the same time his missionary travels "disappearance" and eventual death in Africa†‌led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried forward in the era of the European "Scramble for Africa."
