Roth Cecil ed.
The Haggadah: A New Critical Edition with English Translation Introduction and Notes Literary Historical and Archaeological
London: Soncino Press 1930. Rutherston Albert. Small quarto. xl 3 209pp. One of nine copies printed on Roman Vellum signed by the editor Cecil Roth and the illustrator Albert Rutherston. With fourteen full-page stencilled illustrations plus seventy small ornaments all in color. Rutherston's bright depictions of the Passover story including illustrations of the Jews under Pharaoh the parting of the Red Sea the Ten Commandments and the prophets looking over modern children at play bring both joy and gravity to the sacred text. Rutherston collaborated with the Curwen Press repeatedly over his career and this is perhaps one of his most accomplished works possibly influenced by his years in Palestine while serving in the British Army. Set in Roman and Italic English type as well as Hebrew type purchased from Enschedé en Zonen in Holland the edition embraces the tradition of the pictorial Haggadah while imbuing it with modernity. A Western title page appears at the front of the volume when opened left to right followed by a publisher's note and an Introduction by Roth describing the historic and spiritual place of the Haggadah. The rest of the volume reads right to left with Hebrew at the right hand and English translation and glosses at the left. The result is an inviting impressive edition beautiful to the layperson and the intitiated. Bound in full green morocco by Henry T. Wood Ltd. a progressive London firm whose exceptional giltwork is on display here in the tooled depiction of candles and the Torah at the Western lower cover ruling to inner and outer edges and spine bands and spine titles in Hebrew and English. Metal clasps. Some soiling to exterior inconsequential stain to lower corner of text block else fine. A remarkable production. Bookplate of Anne and Robert H. Siskin prominent members of the Jewish community of Chattanooga Tennessee who founded the Siskin Steel Company and whose fortunes established the Siskin Children's Institute and Siskin Hospital for Physical Rehabilitation. A Spirit of Joy p. 28. Soncino Press unknown

Cobden Sanderson T. J.
Letter from T. J. Cobden Sanderson to George Millard
London 1919. Single 9 1/4 by 6 1/2 inch sheet. Dated September 8 1919. Cobden-Sanderson directs Millard on his desired bindings for three copies of the Doves Bible one in blue and two in red. For two the blue and one of the reds Cobden-Sanderson provides one of his patterns which he states he has enclosed as a rubbing. The pattern in question is possibly the one reflected on Tidcombe's DB820 an adaptation of patterns on the 1907 The English Liturgy DB673 and Sartor Resartus DB690. On the other red he asks that Millard move forward with a design of "mirrored ovals and circles which he chose by himself". He also suggests including the initials of Mr. Lloyd a customer on the blue binding but defers to Millard's opinion. In addition to having commissioned two houses from Frank Lloyd Wright -- one in Chicago the other in Pasadena -- George and Alice Millard were prominent booksellers in the early twentieth century. Included with the letter is a envelope addressed to Millard but dated from 1921. Fine. Tidcombe DB820. unknown

Ball Strike Count
1993. Gorey Edward. Watercolor and ink on paper measuring 7 by 6 inches. Matted and framed. This illustration appeared on page 21 of the July 19 1993 issue of Sports Illustrated. The image served as the lead-in to the "Anniversary" section and it depicts an obscure baseball moment from 1893 when former player manager Harry Wright suggested that umpires keep the ball-strike count secret until the at-bat was concluded. While this would have undoubtedly added an element of mystery to the game wiser heads prevailed baseball continued unchanged and Wright whose 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings went undefeated was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1953. An uncommon sports-related commission by Gorey whose pitcher almost seems en pointe in his delivery. Together with a copy of the printed magazine. unknown

The grandeur that infuses Muir's text is ably captured by McCurdy whose style here is reminiscent of Paul Landacre's California Hills.
