1876ref. BK0124Portland Oregon: Himes the Printer 1876. Illustrated broadside printed in red blue and black 12 ½ x 7 inches trimmed at edges and mounted to an album leaf. Tears to paper on verso from mounting with scattered soiling staining and handling wear; quite good overall. An Oregon Centennial broadside issued by Portland printer and later historian George H. Himes printed for the centennial of American independence. The sheet is headed "1776 Shake with 1876!" above clasped hands and a large "JULY FOURTH!" flanked by American flags. A portrait of Benjamin Franklin appears above Himes's enormous trade name while the lower half incorporates the Declaration of Independence within the outline of the Liberty Bell surrounded by thirteen stars and the slogans "THE HOPE OF THE WORLD" and "The Century Just Turned." The broadside repeatedly connects the history of American independence with the printer's trade. Verses surrounding Franklin celebrate him as the archetypal "printer boy" while Himes presents himself as his professional successor. The piece concludes with an optimistic request that customers retain his advertisement for another century: "Please preserve this sheet for reference in 1976 at which time the above named printer will endeavor to provide you with something more elaborate." Himes 1844-1940 had established himself as a printer in Portland by the 1870s advertising under the memorable name "Himes the Printer" at the same No. 5 Washington Street address printed here. He subsequently became an important figure in the preservation of Oregon history serving as a founder of the Oregon Historical Society and for decades as its assistant secretary and curator. An example of this broadside appears to be preserved in the George H. Himes papers at the University of Washington cataloged as a "Patriotic broadside used as printing sample by Himes 1876."

Elenchum interpretum, qui in had comoedias docte simul & erudite scripserunt, proxima subinde pagina demonstrabit. Eorum qu in his interpretum commentarijs annotata sunt, index amplissimus. pp. [22], 154 [i.e. 308], 117 [i.e. 234, [8]. Lacks two leaves of front matter (*2 & *3). Various errors in pagination as recorded in other examples. Folio. 320 mm. Old full vellum binding. Double and triple column Latin text in Italic and Roman. Great many bold woodcut illustrations of the scenes appear throughout the volume, and add to its charm. The various early paper 'repairs' to the title probably cover up old ownerships. Written some time after these repairs is an ink manuscript notation: Della Libreria de S(an) Vincenzo (in Tuscany). CEdit Iniquos - which seems to identify the text and/or editing as unjust, evil, and/or wicked. not too unusual for pagan works. On the front flyleaf is the 18th or 19th century autograph ownership of A. Wallis (unidentified). Publius Terentius Afer (195/185-159 BC), better known in English as Terence, was a playwright of the Roman Republic, of North African descent. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170-160 BC. Terentius Lucanus, a Roman senator, brought Terence to Rome as a slave, educated him and later on, impressed by his abilities, freed him. Terence apparently died young, probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. He only wrote six plays. All survived, and are printed here. In this famous 1545 edition of Terence, Scoto, provided three summaries for the action of each scene by different humanist scholars of note. The innovation was immediately popular. The basic layout problem in the case of Terence was that the text consists of short scenes with much back-and-forth badinage while the apparatus was typically very lengthy. Early printers of these texts arranged the commentary for each scene all around the base text, creating a window or windows for the words of Terence. The resulting window-and-frame layouts are visually very lively, with each spread slightly different from the last, depending on the length of the commentary with respect to the text. As the sixteenth century progressed, however, it became more usual to employ a simple two-column format that placed the base text of each scene first and the commentary afterwards, alternating but running continuously from column to column. The four columns on a spread owned variety and visual interest because the text of Terence was set in larger type and more generously leaded than the commentary, but the result was rarely as handsome as the older layouts. This two-column format took over because it was much easier to set, correct, revise, and reprint than a window-and-frame. Similarly, fewer and fewer options were exercised in ornamenting and illustrating the folio text as the century wore on. Virtually the only ambitious editions from this point of view are this 1545 Scoto and the 1553 Cesano. These books preserve something of the grace of earlier folios, with scene-by-scene illustrations that characterized some folio editions in the fourteen nineties. Illustrations of individual scenes disappeared entirely after the 1555. The wonderful woodcuts are valued mainly for what they tell us of the Italian stage in the 15th and 16th century.

Two volumes, complete. The "goig" is a typical Catalan art form ("gozo" in Spanish), dating back to the 16th century. It is a broadsheet with a printed poem dedicated to a specific saint, and illustrated with woodcuts or metalcuts. During the 20th century Ricard Vives Sabate was the only artist who kept this tradition alive. These two portfolios contain ten of his goigs, dedicated to those saints most venerated in Catalonia: Sant Jordi (St. George), La Nostra Senyora de Montserrat (Our Lady of Montserrat), Santa Eulalia, Santa Cecilia, Sant Ricard, La Mare de Deu de la Merce, Santa Anna, Sant Josep Oriol, Sant Oleguer, and Sant Lluis. Each of the goigs is printed by hand and illustrated with several metalcuts. From a total edition of 255 copies, each of these portfolios is one of only FIVE copies with the goigs printed on parchment and beautifully hand-illuminated in color and heightened with gold. Furthermore, each of the goigs is signed by the artist. Folio, hand-made paper wraps (also decorated with hand-illuminated metalcuts). Fine and bright, with no defects.
