Christmas Dreams of Childhood Youth Manhood Old Age
London: Ward Marcus & Co 1880. 8pp. accordion-fold. A New Year's card consisting of a four-panel panorama brilliantly printed in bright colors with gold backgrounds. The card allegorically depicts the year in the stages of its "life": as a child dreaming of pudding and music-filled fun; a young man whose dreams include frolicking with a young lady; in middle age surrounded by phantom bills; and as an old man dreaming of youth. The obverse of the panorama contains poems for each season of life signed with the initials "M.R." The firm of Marcus Ward & Co. began producing Christmas cards as early as 1867 using the technique of illuminated printing or chromolithographic printing in gold and rich saturated colors and employed artists such as Walter Crane Kate Greenaway and Georgie Gaskin to elevate what had been ephemera to the realm of decorative art object. Marcus Ward's fine art aesthetic was instrumental in the rising popularity of Christmas cards during the Victorian period. Minor wear to wrappers else fine in colorfully printed green card wrappers.

The Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms
1942. Schoor Jos. Original painting measuring 29 3/4 by 21 1/2 inches matted and framed. The subject of the painting is the text of the Atlantic Charter a joint declaration made by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on August 14 1941 that provided a framework for U.S. and British war and post-war goals. The Charter formed the basis for the charter of the modern United Nations. The text is written here in fine calligraphy with red and gold initials. The headings for the eight parts are in blue on a pink ground and tiny versions of the flags for each of the Allies who signed the Charter are finely wrought in full color. At the end of the text the title is flanked by excellent miniature portraits of Roosevelt and Churchill. Along the right side of the Charter are four paintings representing the Four Freedoms. In his State of the Union address on January 6 1941 Roosevelt put forward four essential human rights that all people should enjoy: freedom of speech freedom of religion freedom from want and freedom from fear. These fundamental freedoms were incorporated into the Atlantic Charter and entered the cultural zeitgeist inspiring a wealth of artistic expression most famously the series of paintings by Norman Rockwell. Arthur Szyk also produced a quadriptych of the Four Freedoms and murals depicting the freedoms grace government and private buildings throughout the United States. This painting was completed a year before Rockwell's series appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post and was executed by Jos. possibly Joseph Schoor about whom we could find no information but who is certainly accomplished in his craft. The four richly detailed scenes show representations of the Four Freedoms: an orator enjoying the freedom of speech; a crowd entering a house of worship and exercising their freedom of religion; a farmer free from want gathering hay; and an allegorical female figure with a sword ready to defend the innocent from war famine and death guarding the freedom from fear. The striking images feature strong lines and bold colors reminiscent of the paintings of Rockwell Kent and Edward Hopper. The Charter and Freedoms are bounded by a multi-colored triple border also painted by Schoor. The whole has been professionally framed and matted and is in fine condition. Altogether a well-executed response to a world-changing vision of the future. Frame measures 38 1/4 by 30 1/4 inches. unknown

Kirshenbaum Sandra ed.
Five Fine Printers posters with exhibition catalogue
Davis CA: Library Associates University Library University of California Davis 1979. Bigus Richard. Two copies of a poster designed by Richard Bigus announcing the "Five Fine Printers" exhibit and related events at the Memorial Union Art Gallery at the University of California Davis. The exhibit ran from February 22 to April 10 1979 and featured works by Bigus Jack Stauffacher Adrian Wilson Andrew Hoyem and William Everson. Accompanying the exhibit was a panel discussion with the printers moderated by Fine Print editor and publisher Sandra Kirshenbaum. The posters showcase Bigus's affinity for typography with the title in red in the center and repeating text about the events in two sections above and below. The repeating text is printed in black and gray and if one looks closely they can discern the shape of the numeral 5 in the gray portion though with the top half of the number in the lower body of text and vice versa. It is unclear if this was a deliberate choice on Bigus's part or a printing error but the effect is that it encourages the viewer to look twice to see the hidden image. The posters are together with the catalogue for the exhibit which has profiles of the printers and pictures of their work. This too was designed by Bigus. One poster has a pin hole at the top from when it was hung up on campus otherwise the posters are in fine condition. The catalogue is waterstained at the lower spine with some fading of the red ink on the front wrapper and creased along the fore-edge with some edgewear else very good.

Cat alphabet
1986. Blegvad Erik. Original ink designs for an alphabet formed from cats signed and dated by the artist. Blegvad was a prolific children's book artist whose atmospheric ink drawings are often compared to Gorey and Sendak. His illustrations graced more than 100 picture books of which the best known is probably Mary Norton's Bedknob and Broomstick. Each letter of this charming alphabet is composed of cats contorted as is the nature of cats into the shape of the letter. The images range from the humorous K where a cat bites the tail of an unsuspecting feline victim to the endearing E where a mother cat nurses her kittens. These designs were eventually used for a set of rubber stamps. Framed in a simple white mat and black frame. Very fine. Image measures 9 1/2 by 5 7/8 inches 24x15cm; frame measures 13 5/8 by 10 1/8 inches 35x26cm. unknown

To the Queen This Book of Etchings from Papers cut by The Right Honorable Lady Templeton
London: J.F. Tomkins 1790. Tomkins Peltro William. Small oblong quarto. 4ff. 12 plates loosely inserted. Engraved title page with vignette plus twelve plates printed on orange paper etched by P.W. Tomkins after designs by Elizabeth Upton Baroness Templetown. This suite of designs features women and children in pastoral attire performing a wide array of activities including hide-and-seek dancing spinning etc. Most of these scenes include a cherubic Cupid-like figure who in what seems to be the last plate in the series appears lifeless atop a bier before which a woman with a dog on a leash weeps. Baroness Templetown is best-known for her cut-paper figures that were used on Wedgewood jasperware. This is very likely a later issue of this portfolio: despite the orange paper bearing tax stamps with the correct date the paper used in the binding bears an 1840 watermark and the marbling pattern used on the covers best reflects early 19th-century stylistic cues. This is a very fine example of a book that is quite uncommon in commerce showing only a few minor defects to the thin paper on which the colored plates are mounted. J.F. Tomkins unknown

Teague Violet
Night Fall in the Ti-Tree
Melbourne: Sign of the Rabbit 1905. Teague Violet and Geraldine Rede. Small quarto. 32pp. Extremely rare first edition. Illustrated with sixteen woodcut illustrations in the Japanese style six of which are double-page spreads. All but four minor illustrations are hand-initialed in ink by the contributing artist. Set opposite the illustrations the letterpress-printed verse is a cautionary tale warning rabbits in their dens to avoid hunter's traps. The atmospheric images rendered in earth tones deftly capture both the danger lurking in the night as well as the peace of a rabbit's simple life. Entirely handmade by Violet Teague and her friend Geraldine Reed in Teague's Melbourne home Night Fall in the Ti-Tree is the first book in Australia to be produced and illustrated in the Japanese style using colored woodcuts. Teague who was probably introduced to Japanese prints while studying in England and Europe in the late 1800s tried to imitate Japanese production techniques as closely as she could. The illustrations were created using water-based inks brushed directly onto the woodblocks which had been cut along the grain rather than against it as in Western woodcuts. The binding is also in the Japanese style with the pages folded at the fore-edge and stab-sewn through the spine with a green ribbon. Two common techniques in Japanese illustration were also employed to great advantage: asymmetrical illustrations that extend past the edge of the page and the division of an illustration into two parts for a double-page spread. Taken as a whole the work is a beautiful and compelling tribute to Japanese style as well as an important example of Japoniste art in Australia. Teague went on to become a great promoter of Japanese woodblock prints writing articles and giving demonstrations on technique. Reed published her own book of woodcut illustrations with verse in 1909 titled A Little Book of Trees. Very few copies of this first edition of Night Fall in the Ti-Tree were printed or sold although it was exhibited several times in Australia following its production even winning an award at the 1907 First Australian Exhibition of Women's Work. In 1906 it was picked up by English publisher Elkin Mathews for a second edition. Teague re-worked the title page crediting herself as the author changing the year on the rabbit logo and adding Mathews's information under the original imprint. Compared to the 1906 edition this first 1905 printing has lighter tonal printing to the plates and blacker printing of the text. Original ties replaced with green ribbon and protected by a custom-made drop-back box. A fine example of a rare item. Together with the 1988 National Gallery of Australia facsimile of the second edition. Sign of the Rabbit unknown

Handmade toy theater character set
1800. Set of twenty early nineteenth-century hand-drawn and hand-colored toy theater characters mounted on wires. This set of characters is crafted in the tradition of the "penny plain twopence colored" toy theaters sold throughout Europe in the nineteenth century. These ready-made kits would include all the parts for reproducing a pared-down version of a popular play including a script characters backdrops and prosceniums. Printed onto paperboard sheets children or hobbyists could color cut out and assemble the set at home. This particular set was made to emulate these mass-produced toy theater kits. The characters are drawn in ink and hand-colored some showing the original pencil sketches on the backs of the figures. Many come equipped with movable parts attached to wires. While the kits were specific to one particular play this set includes a large cast of characters that could be used to act out a variety of stories. The cast includes soldiers women engaged in household tasks like churning butter complete with movable arms beggars young and old merchants "mon jardinier" pushing a wheelbarrow and a beautiful young noblewoman in gray. One two-figure piece depicts a quarreling couple: the wife attempts to hit her husband with a broom while he brandishes a stool. The cast also includes two different Pierrot clown characters all in white. One is much closer to the original Commedia dell'arte concept with overlong sleeves and a broad-brimmed hat and the other is more akin to later whiteface clowns with an oversized ruff and a conical hat. Characters are stored on three sheets of Bois & C. paper sandwiched in a marbled paper-covered portfolio with green ties detached at the spine. A fine unique set. unknown

Thoreau Henry David
Of Woodland Pools Spring-Holes & Ditches
Petersham MA: Lone Oak Press 2005. Esser Mark. Oblong quarto. 89pp. From an edition of fourteen deluxe copies and 70 standard copies this is one of five deluxe copies chosen to be specially bound for the international traveling exhibit "InsideOUT: Contemporary Bindings of Private Press Books" and as such it does not include the extra suite or block as listed on the colophon. The exhibit organized by British binding society Designer Bookbinders married the works of nine private presses with the artistry of 59 binders from the United Kingdom and the United States. The text consists of selections from Henry David Thoreau's journal which describe the vernal pools of New England that serve as breeding habitats for all manner of amphibians. Accompanying the text are twenty-eight engravings by Lone Oak Press founder Abigail Rorer some of which are hand-colored by the artist. The detailed drawings brilliantly capture the teeming life and varied textures of these small pools. The book was designed by Michael Russem of the Kat Ran Press and includes an introduction by Thoreau scholar Bradley P. Dean. The designer binding specially commissioned for the exhibit is by Mark Esser. The boards are covered in full brown goatskin with leather onlays and gold and blind tooling that depict green reeds entering a rippling pool. The reeds are cleverly refracted as they pierce the water's surface. A repeating yellow leaf design frames the image continuing inside onto the green goatskin doublures. Opposite the marbled paper flyleaves are reminiscent of stones and pebbles. Housed in a brown cloth clamshell box. As a whole Esser's work evokes the deep peace found in nature and the surprises that lurk just below the surface. Esser developed the curriculum and was the first instructor for the hand bookbinding program at the North Bennet Street School in Boston and now works as a private binder in Massachusetts. T.e.g. Extremely fine. Lone Oak Press unknown

Arteaga Abate; Francesco Baroni; Giuseppe de Lama; and Giovanni Gherardo de Rossi
Pitture di Antonio Allegri detto Il Correggio esistenti in Parma nel Monistero di San Paolo
Parma: Bodoni 1800. Bodoni Giambattista. Folio. Three parts in one. 8 xxvii; 14 xliii; 11 xxxiii pp. 35ff. Contains thirty-five stipple-engraved plates all but one in sepia showing frescoes by the famed Renaissance painter Correggio at the Monastero de San Paolo in Parma. The engravings were done by Francesco Rosaspina after the Portuguese artist Francisco Vieira. Text printed in three parts: Italian by De Rossi French by De Lama and Spanish by Baroni and Arteaga. Dedicated to the recently married Louis of Bourbon-Parma and the Infanta Maria Luisa of Spain. Although the Duke of Parma first approved the project in 1790 the artists were not allowed into the Camera di San Paolo until 1795. They spent one full day in the room recording the frescoes. The drawings were to have been sent to Rome for engraving by Raffaello Sanzio Morghen. Much to the dissatisfaction of Bodoni's patron Morghen could not take on the project. Bodoni instead selected his friend Francesco Rosaspina who had been one of the artists allowed into the Camera in 1795. Despite the disparaging comments of his patron Bodoni's choice was a wise one- the finished result is beautiful. In an early twentieth-century binding of half red morocco and marbled boards. Gilt lettering and ornamentation to the spine which is in six compartments. Marbled endpapers. Bottom two inches of upper hinge starting some rubbing and bumping to corners light interior foxing else a fine copy of an elegant Bodoni work printed for Regal Palazzo. T.e.g. This volume is from the collection of Robert Hoe and bears his booklabel to the inside front cover as well as that of his son. One of Bodoni's most sophisticated and exceptional works. Brooks 774; Lester pp. 133-134. Bodoni unknown

Mechanical Perpetual Calendar Postcard
The Netherlands 1890. A late nineteenth-century chromolithographed and embossed Dutch postcard measuring 5 3/8 by 3 1/2 inches 137x88mm. The postcard is made up of two layers between which spin three wheels printed with the days of the week dates and months. The front of the card shows three young fairies and a flower bedecked carriage. Windows revealing the day month and date appear as various parts of the carriage. The obverse of the postcard has a handwritten address in Amsterdam and a return address in Wien though there is no stamp or cancellation so the postcard was likely never sent through the mail. Some wear to wheel edges and minor soiling to card else near fine unknown

Erotic Hold-to-the-Light Picture Cards
France 1930. A group of five erotic optical toys each measuring 5 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches 139x89mm. On one side of each card hand-colored cut-outs show men and women engaged in various activities including dancing and bathing. When held up to a light source and flexed slightly inwards the silhouetted figures move. A woman standing in front of a mirror wearing only stockings and high heels fixes her hair and a man in a robe and slippers sprays perfume on a naked woman stepping into a bathtub. A turbaned belly dancer gyrates and a Lady Godiva-type character rides a donkey nude. The cards are stamped "Faites tourner une lumiere de ce coté / Work a light in this side" on the side to which the cut-outs are affixed. It is likely that these are later piracies of a series of similarly themed cards produced by Lambert in Paris for the tourist market. Faint staining to one edge of belly dancer card else fine in original cardboard box which is partially split along one edge of the top. unknown

Bell Harry S.
Nursery Rhymes Set to New Tunes
Chelsea: Southernwood Press 1915. Winser Josephine. Small quarto. 23ff. One of thirty copies printed on handmade paper. Illustrated throughout by Josephine Winser. The drawings illustrate popular nursery rhymes including Humpty Dumpty Baa Baa Black Sheep Jack & Jill and Sing a Song of Sixpence. Children take center stage in these depictions whether presenting the blackbird-filled pie to the king or herding sheep into the pasture. The images appear on the versos of the pages opposite the music and lyrics for each nursery rhyme. Winser's illustrations show elements of Art Nouveau style with decorative pictorial borders framing each scene and are reminiscent of the work of Walter Crane. Although not noted in the book this title was printed by the Curwen Press for the Southernwood Press. Of exceptional scarcity and perhaps one of the earliest deluxe books combining music and illustrations to come from the Curwen Press. Light offsetting to endpapers else extremely fine in original vellum-backed grey boards with title in gilt on upper cover. Tomkinson p. 231. (Southernwood Press unknown
