Richards, T. Addison.
AMERICAN SCENERY, Illustrated.
310 p. + 32 Plates: steel-engraved frontispiece, title-page, and 30 steel-engraved plates. Plates considerably foxed. Elaborate publisher's red morocco leather gift binding, tooled in blind; With a diamond shaped inset blue leather title piece, elaborately tooled and lettered in gold gilt. Binding worn at the extremities, but still attractive. Inked manuscript ownership of: Mrs. Laura W. Fells, Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA. April 21, 1859. This work was also published under the title, 'The Romance of American Landscape.' Sabin 70958; Wright, II, 2030. "During the first half of the nineteenth century artists fanned out across the northeastern United States to find aesthetic inspiration in nature (and historic architecture). Thomas Addison Richards (1820-1900) was one of the few who traveled extensively in the South. Through his paintings, illustrated magazine articles, and guidebooks, Richards introduced the natural beauty and distinct characteristics of this region to a national audience. Born in London, his family immigrated to America in 1831, moving first to Hudson, New York, and then to Charleston, South Carolina. Around 1837 they settled in the small town of Penfield, Georgia, the original site of Mercer University, where Richards's father, a Baptist minister, served as a charter trustee. In 1838 the young Richards left for Augusta, where for the next two years he offered lessons in painting and drawing and contributed travelogues about his rambles around Georgia to the Augusta Mirror, a local literary magazine. In 1841, sketchbook in hand, he left Augusta to travel around the South in search of picturesque scenes. In 1844 he settled permanently in New York City, where he gave art lessons from his studio and began taking classes at the National Academy of Design. He subsequently became a full academician and served as the institution's corresponding secretary from 1852 to 1892. Many of the paintings he regularly contributed to academy exhibitions were romantic landscapes of the South. Throughout the 1850s Richards penned numerous articles and books. He supplied illustrated articles based on his travels around the Northeast to Graham's Magazine (Philadelphia) and the Knickerbocker (New York). For the weekly Southern Literary Gazette, published by his brother out of Athens, Georgia, and Harper's New Monthly Magazine (New York), he submitted essays on his travels through the South. Richards enlivened his travelogues with personal anecdotes, legendary stories, tips on lodging, and engravings after his on-site drawings. In1854 a series of engravings after Richards's southern sketches appeared in Romance of American Landscape / American Scenery. In 1857 Richards married Mary E. Anthony, an author of children's stories. Thereafter, Richards concentrated on teaching and painting. He served as the first director of the Cooper Union School of Design for Women in New York, a position he held from 1858 to 1860, and taught at New York University from 1867 to 1887. At the National Academy and Brooklyn Art Association he exhibited still lifes and landscapes, often of tranquil southern scenes. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! NW 45 BINDINGS

Robert Frost, with wood engravings by Thomas W Nason
Closed for Good Robert Frost's 1948 Christmas Card one of 375 featuring his Christmas greeting under his name this copy inscribed and signed by Frost
New York: Printed at The Spiral Press 1948. First edition. Paperback. This original Robert Frost 1948 Christmas Card features a trifecta of virtues. This is the first published appearance of this poem which had an unusual text history detailed further below. Of 2275 copies printed for 9 different names this is one of 375 printed for the poet himself. Last but certainly not least this is not only one of Frost's copies but is inscribed and signed by him. Following the first and second printed lines on the presentation page "This new poem brings Holiday Greetings from Robert Frost December 1948" Frost wrote "the Hendersons" and signed "Robert Frost". <br /> <br />Condition is near fine. The gray-green card wraps are clean bright and sharp cornered the binding staple firmly intact and uncorroded. We note only a tiny blemish above the title on the front cover and a trivial hint of wear to the spine heel. The contents are crisp and clean lightly age-toned but with no spotting or soiling. <br /> <br />With the permission of Frost and his publishers in 1929 the Spiral Press began printing an annual Robert Frost Christmas Card featuring one of his poems. The tradition continued until 1962 Frost's final Christmas. Each annual Christmas poem publication was printed with varying names on the title page to accommodate their being sent by various Frost publishers artists and important friends. This copy is one of those printed for Frost himself. <br /> <br />The 1948 Christmas poem "Closed for Good" has an unusual textual history. After it was first printed here it appeared in a number of other Frost collections including in the 1949 edition of Complete Poems and the 1954 1955 and 1963 editions of selected poems. In 1962 a revised version of Closed for Good was published as part of In the Clearing. There the poem is altered; the first stanza lines 1-6 is deleted And becomes They in line 7 and the word brush becomes spread in line 24. <br /> <br />This is clearly how Frost wanted the poem to evolve. In the Clearing was his final new collection and in 1958 Frost told Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant that he was trying out a new version of four stanzas. Nonetheless When Edward Connery Lathems edition of The Poetry of Robert Frost was published in 1969 the poem was presented in five stanzas and the two word changes restored to original. Given both Frosts manifestly deliberative use of words and the fact that the poem is a commentary on Frosts inheritance from the past and his legacy to the future the changes do not seem incidental. <br /> <br />By 1948 when this poem first appeared in his annual Christmas card and he inscribed this copy Robert Frost 1874-1963 had already entered the final decades of his life as the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century with an accumulating hoard of academic and civic honors. Half a decade had passed since he had won his still-to-this-day-unrivalled fourth Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. This is all the more remarkable given that he did not publish his first volume of poetry until he was nearly 40 years old. <br /> <br />References: Crane B19; Tuten and Zubizarreta; ANB <br/><br/> Printed at The Spiral Press paperback

Robert Frost, with a foreword by Edward Hyde Cox and wood engravings by Thomas W Nason
You Come Too: Favorite Poems for Young Readers signed by Robert Frost
New York: Henry Holt and Company 1959. First edition first printing. Hardcover. This strikingly clean jacketed copy of the first edition first printing of Robert Frosts 1959 collection of Favorite Poems for Young Readers is signed by him "Robert Frost" on the title page just above his printed name. <br /> <br />This collection takes its title from the words repeated at the end of each stanza of this book's first poem "The Pasture" first published as the prefatory to North of Boston in 1914. Of this collection the publisher said Frost "has gathered a group of his poems to be read to and by young people. To Robert Frost a great-grandfather with a remarkable number of small friends this was a labor of love. Frost dedicated the volume to his mother Belle Moodie Frost who knew as a teacher that no poetry was good for children that wasnt equally good for their elders. Evoking Frosts famous poem Mending Wall Frosts friend Edward Hyde Cox 1914-1988 who contributes a Foreword to this volume said of Frost that he had never added a single stone to the wall that so often separates age from youth. Prevalent among the 51 poems herein is Frost's gently subversive inclination to write verse that is superficially accessible "lovely dark and deep" upon sounding. <br /> <br />This is a handsome book bound in orange-yellow linen cloth with a vignette of a bird on a fence post stamped in black on the lower right front cover corner and spine print stamped in black with a red acorn and leaf device between at the spine's center. The contents feature wood engravings by Thomas W. Nason and are bound with endpapers of heavy light gray wove paper and red and yellow head and tail bands. The dust jacket printed on beige laid paper features a wood engraving of birches spanning the lower front face spine and extending onto the rear face. The rear face prominently features Yousuf Karsh's famous portrait photograph of Frost. <br /> <br />Condition is truly fine in a truly fine dust jacket. The illustrated cloth binding is immaculately clean and bright with sharp corners and only the most trivial hints of shelf wear to extremities. The contents are likewise pristine with no spotting soiling toning or previous ownership marks. "FIRST EDITION" is so stated on the title page verso. The contents retain a pleasingly stiff feel The dust jacket is crisp bright clean and entirely complete with no loss or tears and retaining the original "$3.00" upper front flap price. We note only a hint of wrinkling to the spine heel and a touch of soiling to the lower rear face. The jacket is protected beneath a clear removable archival cover. <br /> <br />Publisher's statements are often hyperbolic. In this case the dust jacket's front flap description of Robert Frost as "America's beloved poet ageless and for the ages" was and remains more accurate than advertising. Before this volume was published on 26 March 1959 Robert Frost 1874-1963 reached the age of eighty-five. His stature had risen to an apex arguably unequalled by any American poet since. Frost had long-since won all of his still-unrivaled four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry 1924 1931 1937 and 1943. He spent his final years as the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century with an accumulating hoard of academic and civic honors. Two years before his death he became the first poet to read in the program of a U.S. Presidential inauguration Kennedy January 1961. <br /> <br />Reference: Crane A39; Tuten and Zubizarreta; ANB <br/><br/> Henry Holt and Company hardcover

Rukeyser, Muriel and Rudolph C von Ripper (engravings)
The Soul and Body of John Brown: a poem by Muriel Rukeyser and an old song on etchings by Rudolf C. von Ripper
1940. New York: Lee A. Ault & R. C. von Ripper 1940. <br /> <br /> Huge folio 50 pp. text and illustration engraved throughout on folded leaves separated with tissue guards in stiffened wrappers with an additional suite of 22 plates lacking some together in the original cloth portfolio and card slipcase. Together with seven sheets of proof plates and a folder of five related press clippings bearing the printed label of Monica McCall Inc. Wrappers lightly toned portfolio worn and splitting slipcase considerably worn and stained and lacking spine panel plates themselves are very good throughout with only a hint of age-toning to the outer margins.<br /> <br /> § Copy V signed by Von Ripper and Muriel Rukeyser one of three Rives paper with a suite of etchings on Velin de Normandie from a total edition of 67 copies. This copy belonged to Muriel Rukeyser who has extracted some of the suite of prints they now number 22 and added seven proof sheets some showing and annotating alternate inking options as well as a small collection of related press clippings gathered for her by Monica McCall her literary representative and sometime lover.<br /> <br /> An important collaboration between Rukeyser and the Austrian-born surrealist etcher Rudolph von Ripper 1905-1960 on the eve of America's entry into the Second World War. Rukeyser's poem looks to the legacy of John Brown the militant abolitionist of the 1850s and celebrates the possibility of spiritual renewal through resistance to injustice. It first appeared in the June 1940 edition of Poetry Magazine. Here the poem is fully engraved and illustrated with original etchings by von Ripper and interleaved with the etched verses of the old Civil War marching song. By the time Von Ripper was engaged on this project he was only 35 but had already fought for the French Foreign Legion been imprisoned and tortured by the Gestapo and been wounded while fighting on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. His direct physical experience of the rise of fascism is evident in his visceral Goya-like etchings. The series was exhibited in the Bignou Gallery in New York in 1941. A contemporary review described it is "an unusal undertaking brilliantly executed the drawings forming not so much illustrations or decorations as actual parts of the poem. Realism symbolism powerful design and dramatic presentment mark these plates which form a distinguished piece of bookmaking. unknown
