Horae in Laudem Beatissime Virginis Marie. Secundum Consuetudinem Ecclesiae Parisiensis
Paris: Simon du Bois for Geoffrey Tory 1527. Tory Geoffrey. Octavo. 140ff. With twelve woodcut illustrations from thirteen blocks Tory's "pot cassé" device on title page and colophon and each page with a four-piece border in twenty-six distinct combinations. The lower blocks of several borders feature coats of arms including those of the king François I; his mother Louise of Savoy; Henri d'Albret the King of Navarre; and d'Albret's queen the sister of François. Text in lettre bâtarde printed in red and black. With Almanac for 1528-1548. Bound in eighteenth-century crimson morocco with triple gilt rules on both panels gilt turn-ins flat spine gilt in four compartments with two green morocco lettering pieces. Few light stains to both panels some light rubbing to corners and outer hinges. A.e.g. Housed in a modern morocco-backed folding case. With the monogram stamp of noted Prussian collector Karl Ferdinand Friedrich von Nagler on bottom title-page margin. Leather booklabel of Paul Harth on front pastedown. This Book of Hours by Tory is significant on a number of levels foremost in that it represents his first use of a set of borders known as "moderne." These differ completely from those used in Tory's Roman Book of Hours printed two years earlier by Simon de Colines. These borders which feature detached flora and fauna mainly in outline complement the outlined woodcuts which offer another unusual feature of the edition. The format has led to the suggestion that they were intended to be filled in by an illuminator. Of the woodcuts themselves Tory's use of a two-page spread to depict the Annunciation which achieves the effect of the angel facing Mary from the opposite page is an unusual and noteworthy treatment. Much has been written about the king in the Adoration of the Magi and the crow and horse in the Triumph of Death each figure appearing fully inked rather than in outline: Mortimer notes that "this particular technique represents a departure from the line-for-line transfer of a preliminary drawing into an exploration of the creative possibilities of the woodblock itself." Ultimately the importance of Tory's French Book of Hours is that it exemplifies a more innovative approach to the incorporation of Italian Renaissance printing techniques in France. Small stain on title and colophon leaves repaired fore-edge tear to three leaves otherwise bright and crisp with strong impressions.

Wood-engraved title page by Reynolds Stone and 114 woodcuts from the Epistole et Evangelii 1495 newly cut by Bruno Bramanti and Italo Zetti.

Kent Rockwell
Original painting: "Sailor's Farewell" together with autograph book
1935. Kent Rockwell. Measuring 13 by 9 1/4 inches this watercolor bears Kent's signature along with the inscription "to his friend Charly Mortensen 1935." Mortensen was the telegraph operator aboard the Hans Egede the ship on which Kent made two of his three celebrated voyages to Igdlorssuit Greenland where he would live off and on between 1929 and 1935. His life and work among the native Greenlanders during these years resulted in two of his greatest books: Greenland Journal and Salamina. The present painting a moving somber work executed in the artist's typically realistic style depicts a European sailor presumably preparing to depart Greenland for home comforting a native Greenlander who is weeping into her hands at the prospect of their parting. The watercolor is accompanied by Mortensen's autograph book which contains numerous drawings and inscriptions by friends and Hans Egede passengers including two drawings by Kent both signed. One drawing a charming informal pen and ink scene of the Hans Egede en route from New York to Greenland under a starry sky bears an inscription by Kent thanking Mortensen for being a "considerate and obliging friend." The other item a landscape appears to use a combination of pen and ink and watercolor and is inscribed by Kent "This is a genuine drawing by me -- only drawn all over again and much improved by Mortensen fair wireless operator better artist and best of fellows. Sworn to this day July 3rd 1935 by Rockwell Kent . so help me God!" Mortensen's replicated drawing does not appear in the book although another of his drawings does: a depiction of a native Greenlander signed "CM after RK" apparently meaning the piece was executed by Mortensen in the style of Kent. Of further interest is a drawing contributed by Kent's teenaged son Gordon who accompanied his father on one of the Greenland excursions. Bound in full red leather which shows some cracking and general wear the book is a unique item that offers an intimate glimpse into a key period in the life of one of the most important illustrators of the twentieth century. Laid in are seven black and white photographs including one of the Hans Egede docked at Igdlorssuit where it has been met by native Greenlanders in sleds and canoes. Watercolor double-matted and in a handsome Art Deco-style cherry frame. Johnson Fridolf. Rockwell Kent: An Anthology of His Work pp. 161-179. unknown
