Six original puppet designs
1938. Jerry Cherry Barr. Six original paintings all signed by the artist Cherry Barr Jerry. This set of paintings vividly depicts six different puppets each with caricatured features reminiscent of the traditional style of Punch and Judy: rosy cheeks mitten-hands and large eyes and mouths. The six images display a nurse with an infant a jester Santa Claus two boys and an African-American woman. The artist worked with a variety of media throughout her career delving into embroidery sketches with charcoal and other forms of decorative art. Her efforts grew out of her role as an art instructor in Racine Wisconsin operating under the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project program. Jerry's husband acted as director of the Racine Art Museum then known as the Wustum Museum of Fine Arts. The paintings represent the beginning of a period in which art was a relief effort rather than a cultural touchstone. Each piece is housed in blue and beige matting and framed in gold. Some soiling to edges of images minor wear to frames else fine. Three paintings measure 16 by 13 1/2 in. 406x343mm in a 24 1/2 by 22-in. 622x559mm frame. The other three measure 17 by 12 in. 432x305mm in a 25 1/2 by 20 1/2-in. 648x521mm frame. unknown

Khayyam Omar
Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám the Astronomer-Poet of Persia. Rendered in English Verse by Edward Fitzgerald with an Accompaniment of Drawings by Elihu Vedder
Boston: Houghton Mifflin and Company 1884. Vedder Elihu. First deluxe edition. One of 100 copies printed on Japanese paper and signed by the artist Elihu Vedder on the limitation page. The fifty-seven Art-Nouveau illustrations drawn in pencil ink chalk and watercolor over ten months from May 1883 to March 1884 are here printed on Japanese paper using a then-new photographic printing process which could accurately reproduce the subtle gradations of the originals. Each image is mounted on a larger folded sheet for binding leaving large margins to frame the image at the center. Vedder's design work is not just limited to the illustrations but includes everything from the hand-written text to the design of the binding and endpapers. Eight pages at the end of the book have printed notes and an index of illustrations. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam a loose collection of quatrains was first translated from Persian to English in 1859 by Edward Fitzgerald over 700 years after the death of the author. It is clear that one of the most celebrated manifestations of Fitzgerald's translation is this 1884 arrangement by Elihu Vedder. Born in America Vedder was one of the first artists of his generation to train in Paris. This training in the Academic style with its emphasis on the classically proportioned female nude combined with his penchant for mystical imagery and "visionary" style created the perfect style for the Rubaiyat blending grounded accurate reality with the excesses of feeling and emotion. Perhaps the emotion so evident in his drawings stems from the fact that the Rubaiyat was intensely personal for Vedder. After twice experiencing the loss of one of his children followed by the birth of another child within the year he sought and found answers in Khayyam's message that the meaning of life was life itself and that death and renewal are part of that cycle. Vedder's rearrangement of the stanzas to fall into three sections-joy death and rebirth-echoes this revelation. Vedder also channels this conception into his art which combines Christian and Classical figures with mystical imagery like the "cosmic swirl" which he describes as "gradual concentration of elements that combine to form life; the sudden pause through the reverse of the movement which marks the instant of life; and then the gradual ever-widening dispersion again of those elements into space." The first edition of Vedder's interpretation which comprised both this deluxe edition and a regular edition with a printed cover and typeface text was released in Boston on November 8 1884 and sold out within six days. Later editions were smaller and used a half-tone screen process meaning that only this first edition has truly fine renderings of Vedder's work. Interestingly this is the text block that was used in Sangorski and Sutcliffe's legendary but unlucky jeweled binding The Great Omar. Folio. 57 viiiff. In the original gilt-tooled morocco binding with decorated silk doublures and large elaborately gilt dentelles. A.e.g. Housed in a custom drop-back box. Foxing to the paper used to mount the illustrations but rarely on the illustrations themselves else a near fine copy of Vedder's masterwork. Smithsonian American Art Museum online Vedder Exhibition.
