‎THE OUTSIDER AND OTHERS - TWO INSCRIBED COPIES WITH RELATED CORRESPONDENCE‎

‎Sauk City WI: Arkham House 1939. First Editions. The first major collection of Lovecraft's weird fiction and the first production by the legendary Arkham House - a landmark in 20th century genre publishing. The 32 stories written for various pulp magazines were gathered and preserved by Lovecraft's friends August Derleth and Donald Wandrei who founded Arkham House in 1939 to preserve and publish the best of Lovecraft's fiction. The stories "range from early exercises in Dunsanian pastiche to the mature and highly distinctive tales of the Cthulhu Mythos which construct a horrific cosmological and historical context for human history. Luckless protagonists who stumble upon various dire intrusions of Cthulhu and his kin or who unwisely pursue dangerous inquiries in the appropriate revelatory tomes are inevitably brought to repulsively stick ends. Lovecraft became the consummate master of the confirmatory ending in which what has been suspected all along finally becomes manifest" Barron Horror Literature: A Reader's Guide 3-132. It took Derleth and Wandrei nearly five years to sell through the modest print run and The Outsider has not been reprinted since. <br /> <br /> Enclosed with the present copies are a five letters written between May 10 1937 - November 26 1939 between the Arkham House principals detailing both the publication history of The Outsider as well revelatory background information concerning the dustjacket design by Virgil Finlay 1914-1971. In his time Finlay was among the most in-demand illustrators of fantasy science fiction and horror literature in the United States and his panoramic composition for The Outsider's dustjacket remains among the best executed and most desirable examples in the genre. According to a letter to Derleth from Adolph J. Hyson of the George Banta Publishing Company proofs for the dustjacket were struck in three colors - black bronze blue and a dark olive green. Both the black and green versions of the dustjacket were vetoed by all involved – the black on account of having "a strangely flat and monotonous effect without depth or life. Second and more important certain of the figures such as the monkey-like and ass-like creatures to the right of the topmost star containing the woman's figure behind the lettering "By" faded away to almost absolute imperceptibility in black but stood out with fairly well defined clarity in the blue" DW to VF Nov.14 1939. The green jacket was dismissed right out and described by Wandrei as being "a peculiarly detestable and odious color." It is not clear how many examples of either the black or green trial state dustjackets survived after being scrapped though all of the predictably few extant examples originated with the personal collection of Donald Wandrei sold close to four decades ago. Joshi 15. First Printings one of 1268 copies. Two octavo volumes 24cm; black cloth with titles stamped in gilt on spines; dustjackets; xiv5535pp. The present offering consists of two unique copies:<br /> <br /> - Copy 1: Trivial wrinkling to cloth at crown else Fine. Dustjacket is unclipped priced $5.00 gently spine-sunned and lightly edgeworn with shallow loss to base of spine and some light dust-soil and waviness to rear panel; Very Good. Inscribed vertically along the left margin of the rear flap by dustjacket designer Virgil Finlay: "This jacket is a photographic composite of early Weird Tales drawings probably only one or two were for HPL stories - I wish I might have found time for more of his work which I did admire / Virgil Finlay." Housed in a custom half-morocco clamshell case. <br /> <br /> - Copy 2: Trivial wear to lower board edges faint dust-soil to upper edge of textblock with mild offsetting and some faint scattered foxing to endpapers; Near Fine. Inscribed by Arkham House co-founder Donald Wandrei on front endpaper: "For Priscilla – and the goon – Donald Wandrei / Christmas 1939." In the apparently unique trial dustjacket printed in green instead of blue with the flaps and rear panel without text; light wear and a few tiny tears to extremities hint of sunning to spine with a faint vertical fold along rear joint and some mild dust-soil to rear panel; holograph printer's measurements in ink across base of spine panel; Very Good. For the sake of completion offered together with a Fine copy of the replica dustjacket produced in the 1970's by specialty publisher and collector Gerry de le Ree from Finlay's original plates. Folded and laid into this copy are examples of the publisher's original prospectus measuring 7.25" x 7.75" as well as an earlier mimeographed announcement letter measuring 8.5" x 11". Housed in a custom half-morocco clamshell case. Arkham House unknown‎

‎CZECH TYPOGRAPHY AND GRAPHIC ARTS Typographeum vivum. Žívá tiskárna aneb lis myÅ¡lenky The Living Printing Shop or the Press of Thoughts.; Edice Bohemia‎

‎Prague: ÄŒeskoslovenský spisovatel 1968. Quarto 29.5 × 18 cm. Original blind wrappers with typo-illustrated dust-wrappers; accordeon-bound leaves; 69 pp. With four full-page color lithographs "graphic labyrints" by ZdenÄ›k SklenÇŽÅ• and numerous pages of typographic compositions by Hlavsa. A very good copy. Bilingual edition with text in Latin and Czech of John Amos Comenius' treatise "Typographeum vivum" "The Living Printing Press" a lengthy metaphorical comparison of his pedagogical approach to the means of producing printed books. The book was published to celebrate the five-hundredth anniversary of the appearance of the first printed book in Bohemia in 1468 The Trojan Chronicles. From the English-language resume: "the great seventeenth-century Czech humanist Jan Amos Komenský . had faith in the grandiose possibilities open to the printed word that can spread life-giving ideas. And finally it is to the second half of the twentieth century that the book owes its graphic design. This is the work of two contemporary Czech artists who have many times already shown themselves to be outstanding masters of book design and illustration -- the graphic designer and typographer OldÅ™ich Hlavsa and the painter graphic artist and illustator ZdenÄ›k Sklenář. It is no coincidence that this bibliophile publication is designed and illustrated in a way that enables the artistic aspects of its typography to create new meanings." Parallel Latin and Czech text with Czech editorial notes and English Russian German and French summaries. Striking large-scale typographic design by Hlavsa incorporating fonts such as Bodoni Times Roman an eighteenth-century Prague specimen Verdi Frutiger's Univers and Menhart's Figural. One of 1000 copies printed. unknown‎

‎The Connection Original poster for the 1959 play at the Living Theatre designed by Inkweed Studios‎

‎New York: Inkweed Studios 1959. Vintage poster for the 1959 off-Broadway play which opened on July 15 1959 at the Living Theatre. Poster designed by Inkweed Studios with a label affixed to the recto stating showtimes. Presumably either unique or produced in very small quantity. Mounted on art board as issued and used.<br /> <br /> Founded in 1951 by Beat poet Kabbalist and Lower East Side underground luminary Lionel Ziprin with his wife illustrator and dancer Joanne Ziprin Inkweed Studios was originally created to produce "studio cards"—greeting cards to rival the mass-produced cards produced by the Hallmark Company. While not financially successful Inkweed did produce many outstanding graphics such as the poster on offer here. The company also served as the launching pad for the graphic work of artists such as Harry Smith Jordan Belson Bruce Conner Barbara Remington and William Mohr. <br /> <br /> Jack Gelber's landmark play within a play observes a producer and writer attempting to stage a production using "real" heroin addicts largely jazz musicians waiting for their score interspersed with jazz music. Notable not only for its honest depiction of addiction the play also radically re-imagined the relationship between audience and actor with actors utilizing the theatre's aisles as performance areas an actor presented as an audience member and actors remaining in character and panhandling during intermission. A key play in the history of American jazz and an evocative portrait and product of the Beat era. Winner of three Obie Awards including Best New Play Best All-Around Production and Best Actor for Warren Finnerty. Made into an equally groundbreaking and largely unrecognized motion picture in 1961 directed by Shirley Clarke and starring Finnerty and William Redfield.<br /> <br /> 13.75 x 21.75 inches archivally framed to 16.25 x 24.25 inches. Very Good plus with some light corner and edgewear a small chip to the bottom right corner and a small bruise to the mid-right edge. Inkweed Studios unknown‎
