1940rif. 14049San Francisco: The Colt Press 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Small 4to. Pp. 115. Frontis. reproduction of a portrait of Omai by Sir Joshua Reynolds. Bound in half linen over batik boards; paper label on spine. Clean and fresh throughout with many leaves unopened. One of 500 copies. Omai embodied that cliched tiresome concept of "the noble savage" which was very much in vogue during Omai's tenure in London. He was the darling of fashionable society. In 1938 Jane Grabhorn founded the Colt Press; the press ceased activity once WWII was underway and co-founder William Roth joined the Office of War Information; this was likely Colt's last publication before operations concluded.

1940rif. 260827024San Francisco: Colt Press 1940. First and Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. One of five hundred copies small quarto size 119 pp. Mai ca.1751-1780 was mistakenly known as "Omai" in Britain and that is how many still think of him today. He was a young Polynesian priest who was brought to England in 1774 on the British ship HMS "Adventure". He was introduced to London high society by the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks who invited Mai to dine with imminent personages of the day such as the First Lord of the Admiralty Lord Sandwich the notorious and boisterous Mrs. Thrale the erudite Fanny Burney and the stubborn skeptic Samuel Johnson. After two years he was returned to Otaheite; this is the story of both his visit and retreat told by the University of Hawaii professor Thomas Blake Clark with a reproduction of Omai's portrait which was done by the eminent portraitist of the day Sir Joshua Reynolds. This is the second book of Jane Grabhorn's Colt Press's "South Sea Series" and was so successful it was reprinted the following year with a more recent reprint being issued by the University of Hawaii; the author Thomas Clark was a scholar of eighteenth century literature who served as a professor at the University. ___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter batik cloth with patterned tapa cloth covered boards printed label strip affixed to backstrip fore-edge uncut plain endpapers monochrome frontis after a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds most signatures remain unopened; handset type rag paper small quarto size just under 9 3/4" by 7 3/4" pagination: i-iv 1-114 115 first and limited edition of five hundred copies. ___CONDITION: Near fine the binding is clean and bright text block is strong with solid hinges internally clean with no foxing and free of prior owner markings; some light foxing to the cloth backstrip and some very minor rubbing to the corners and bottom board edges else fine. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
