Publisher's full dark green cloth with gilt lettering on spine embossed publisher's medallion on front cover in gilt t.e.g. fore-edge and bottom edge deckle. Illustrated with two portraits of the author. So many pioneer stories were written at the request of a child or grandchild. What makes Christiana Tillson's humorous memoir different was her background. Tillson's story records the reactions produced upon a refined New England woman by an environment at once predominantly southern and wholly frontier. Her youth in 1822 and her parting from all that she had known in the East were common of many later Western migrants. But when she and her husband went out to try their fortunes the "West" was what we today call the Midwest. It was still a wild dangerous and uncertain place to try to make a future. .

‎Gilbert, Sir William Schwenck‎

‎The Bab Ballads: With Which are Included Songs of a Savoyed‎

‎London: Macmillan and Co. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1926. Sixth Edition. 1. Leather. Bound in full red leather by Riviere & Son gilt borders on covers gilt medallion on front cover spine in six compartments separated by raised bands gilt lettering in two compartments elaborate gilt tooling in remainder a.e.g. gilt dentelles marbled endpapers. Illustrated with B&W drawings by the author. In red cloth-covered slipcase. Sir William Schwenck Gilbert 1836 – 1911 was an English dramatist librettist poet and illustrator best known for the 14 comic operas known as the Savoy operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan. The most famous of these include H.M.S. Pinafore The Pirates of Penzance and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre The Mikado. The Bab Ballads are a collection of light verse by W. S. Gilbert illustrated with his own comic drawings. Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads Gilbert developed his unique "topsy-turvy" style where the humour was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humour. They became famous on their own as well as being a source for plot elements characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname and he later began to sign his illustrations "Bab". Nothing else quite like the Ballads has ever been produced in the English language. They contain both satire and nonsense as well as a great deal of utter absurdity. The Ballads were read aloud at private dinner-parties public banquets and even in the House of Lords. The ballads have been much published and there are even recordings of readings of some of them. . The volume is in excellent condition unmarked tight square and clean. The leather on the spine only is very mildly sunned some mild wear to slipcase else fine. A very beautiful book. NEAR FINE. .

‎Jackson Pollock‎

‎NY: The Museum of Modern Art. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1998. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Soft Cover. 0870700693 . Publisher's glossy wraps. Profusely illustrated with 227 color and 198 duotone reproductions. Jackson Pollock is widely considered the most challenging and influential American artist of the twentieth century. In his revolutionary paintings of the late 1940s he dripped or poured paint into complex webs of interlacing lines rhythmically punctuated by pools of color. With their allover composition seemingly total abstraction and gestural but remarkably controlled handling of paint these powerful works announced the emergence of Abstract Expressionism. This sumptuously illustrated book accompanies the major Pollock exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art New York in 1998-99 and then at the Tate Gallery London-America's first full survey of the artist's career since the 1967 retrospective also organized by the Modern. An essay by Kirk Varnedoe explores Pollock's life the mythology that so quickly grew up around him as the prototypical "action painter" and the critical interpretations of his legacy. It traces the development of his work from European and American models and discusses his powerful impact on later artists. Pepe Karmel's innovative study of Hans Namuth's photographs and films of Pollock at work offers new insight into the genesis of Pollock's paintings. .
