John J. Slocum's copy with a lengthy and extraordinary chain of ownership written in three different hands on the preliminary blank with the concluding remarks in Slocum's hand: "Stolen by Henry Miller from Caresse Crosby / Given by Henry Miller to John J. Slocum / Given by John J. Slocum to Emily Sweetser / Given by Emily Sweetser to Sherman Conrad / Traded by Sherman Conrad to Nancy Starrels Herz / Purchased by John J. Slocum from a piratical bookseller December 1955 sixteen years later." Spine ends worn some very light surface rubbing to cloth spine gilt lightly rubbed and dulled with some flaking to cloth at corners and lower board edges; contents fresh with hinges sound; Very Good. A collaborative work between these two prominent Surrealists in which Ernst produced 19 illustrations for the first chapter of Crevel's 1927 novel Babylone translated into English by Kay Boyle and published by Caresse Crosby's Black Sun Press. "The white-on-black images do a fine job of representing the dark visions of death and desire that come to the young girl in Crevel's story: "What is death What is a whore Death is something like Cousin Cynthia." Ernst chose quotations from the book to appear as titles under the prints. He also collaborated with the book's binder A.J. Gonon to produce the black binding with gold tooling that is reminiscent of the bindings on old nineteenth-century sentimental fictions" Roth 101 p.66. Slocum 1914-1997 was an American diplomat literary agent and bibliophile whose collection of James Joyce material supplied the basis for the now standard bibliography by Slocum and Herbert Cahoon and whose contributions to scholarship on Joyce are inestimable. A copy with distinguished provenance having passed variously from its publisher to the hands of Henry Miller two poets and a prominent bibliophile while cycling through the rare book trade over the last seven decades.

VIRGIL : THE WORKS OF PUBLIUS VIRGILIUS MARO

1663réf. 195824London: Thomas Roycroft 1663. First folio edition of Ogilby's translation of Virgil's works. Fine Binding. First Folio Edition of Ogilby's translation of Virgil's works magnificently illustrated with frontispiece portrait of Ogilby double-page map of Greece and Italy and 100 splendid full-page copper-engraved plates. With a frontispiece portrait of Virgil by Cleyn after Lombart engraved portrait of Ogilby by Faithorne after Lilly folding map opp. P. 117 and 101 full-page engravings by W. Hollar W. Faithorne and P. Lombart after designs by F. Cleyn. Folio 392 x 257 mm bound in near-contemporary French brown morocco spine gilt à la groteque marbled edges a. E. G. London: Roycroft 1663. One of the very few notable English illustrated books of the Restoration period "a great folio with plates dedicated to noble patrons by Pierre Lombart" Pollard Great Books p. 289. This elaborate English production was much admired by the French: "Belle édition exécutée en gros caractères. Elle est recommandable par le grand nombre et la qualité des gravures dont elle a été ornée. Ces gravures on été faites par le plus habiles artistes de ce tems Hollar et autres au depens de différens Seigneurs d'Angleterre." De Bure no. 2686. Thiscopy was no doubt bound in France at an early date possibly for "Claude Le Muet Lemuet Tresorier de Legle d'Auxerre" whose name is inscribed on p. 95 it was erased from the title-page. Ogilby's Latin edition of Virgil was first published in 1658; the illustrations first appeared in his second English translation of Virgil in 1654. The above work which is described by Brueggemann as a "Splendidum opus forma augusta contains the Bucolics Georgics and Aeneid. As Lowndes has shown copies of Ogilby's Latinedition of Virgil were prized by such noteworthy collectors as Towneley the Marquis of Townshend La Valliere Count MacCarthy Reagh Hibbert and the Duke of Roxburghe. The engravings were executed by Wenceslaus Hollar William Faithorne and Pierre Lombart after designs by Franz Cleyn. Cleyn 1590 Rostock- 1658 London was for some time in the employment of Christian IV King of Denmark. He worked as an artist in Rome for four years after which time he embarked to London where he served as an artist in the court of James I and until the Civil War Charles I. This is a choice copy all the more remarkable owing to the fact that seventeenth-century English books almost never survive in tolerable condition. Furthermore very few English books of the period were so grandly illustrated as here. Frontispiece mounted; inscription on lower blank portion of final leaf excised. An extremely attractive copy from the Ambrose Firmin Didot collection with leather book-label.; Folio - over 12" - 15" ta. Thomas Roycroft unknown
