Boston: William D. Ticknor privately printed 1843. JOHN NEAL'S COPY with his lightly-penciled annotations OF THE FIRST AMERICAN EDITION OF ANY PART OF DANTE'S DIVINE COMEDY. 83 pp. an engraved portrait frontispiece of Dante by David Claypool Johnston. The translator Thomas William Parsons 1819-1892 was a leading Boston dentist ! poet and intellectual. A contemporary and acquaintance of Longfellow Oliver Wendell Holmes Emerson Thoreau and James Russell Lowell this is his first published work. Although he was only in his early 20s when he composed this translation he demonstrates a highly-developed poetic sensibility and the work has considerable literary merit and doubtless played a role in encouraging Parsons' friend Longfellow to translate the entire Comedy a few decades later. Still Dante was relatively unknown in America during the early 19th century and so very few copies of this privately-printed edition were issued. This is AN OUTSTANDING ASSOCIATION COPY with a presentation inscription from Parsons to JOHN NEAL ESQ. Neal 1793-1876 was an intellectual who traveled in the same literary circles as Parsons. He is considered the first American author to use slang in his writing and was an early proponent of women's rights and a lawyer boxer and architect as well. Neal read this book carefully as attested by several brief lightly-penciled marginal annotations. Published by William Davis Ticknor 1810-1864 who went on to found Ticknor and Fields. Printed on fine wove paper. Large 8vo. BOUND IN THE ORIGINAL CLOTH-BACKED BOARDS WITH THE ORIGINAL PAPER SPINE LABEL INTACT. Some wear to extremities of binding but structurally solid.

Pasadena: Clinker Press 2014. ONE OF 25 COPIES WITH A BROOCH FROM SEVEN FINGERS JEWELERS signed by the printer and jeweler this copy lettered "A. P.". Text: 230 x 130 mm. 9 1/8 x 5 1/4"; Box: 270 x 245 mm. 10 1/2 x 9 1/2". 18 leaves first blank. Edited and with an introduction by Andre Chaves. ONE OF 25 COPIES WITH A BROOCH FROM SEVEN FINGERS JEWELERS signed by the printer and jeweler this copy lettered "A. P.". Dark grey leather by Mariana Blau silver title emblem on upper cover marbled endpapers. In a matching velvet-lined clamshell box with compartment for brooch. With wood engravings based on Rossetti's art printed in purple and an engraving based on a photograph of the poet printed in blue. WITH A BEAUTIFUL HAND-CRAFTED SILVER BROOCH in a design based on Rossetti painting SIGNED on the back by the jeweler and numbered 6 of 25. In mint condition. This unusual book-and-brooch combination features a finely printed volume of Rossetti's best-loved poems and a delicate silver brooch depicting one of Rossetti's Pre-Raphaelite beauties in silver and carved tagua nut also known as "vegetable ivory". The production is the result of a meeting in 2007 at the Grove Park Inn Arts and Craft Conference between Andre Chaves who designed and executed the book at the Clinker Press and jeweler Tom Herman. The pair has produced seven such combination packages all strictly limited. One of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood the poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1828-82 was an early and profound influence on William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones and through them on the Arts & Crafts Movement that among other things revived letterpress printing. Day tells us that Rossetti is "almost unique among English poets as completely the artist a type more familiar on the Continent. He had no genuine interest in political social or scientific movements of his era. Watts-Dunton listed Rossetti's loves as: poetry painting Medieval mysticism and women all of which might be summed up as the search for ideal aesthetic beauty." Chaves founded the Clinker Press in 1996 and is especially interested in printing works relating to the art of printing and the Arts & Crafts Movement. The press takes its name from the "clinker" bricks used on the garage in which the press first operated but Chaves notes that "clinker implies something not very important and keeps things in perspective." In 1982 master jewelry maker Herman established Seven Fingers Jewelers the name deriving from Herman's own handprint missing three fingers lost in a childhood farming accident. He has since become renowned for his talents at working with precious stones metal carving and unique designs. Clinker Press unknown
