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

1922réf. 204721922. Full Limp Red Calf. Slipcase -- marbled paper pastedown on all sides other than opening. Chemise or inner folder -- thick glossy card stock all sides other than that has red calf with title label. Emily Swinton. Magnificent illuminated manuscript version of the Rubaiyat or some verses from the Rubaiyat. The illuminated borders are singular -- their design is unlike that we are familiar with and not even vaguely similar to anything we have ever seen produced by a latter-day illuminator professional or amateur. Their tracery is of blues greens reds some yellow in a few instances and not least the all important gilt. The illuminator surely was paying homage to some Islamic and Persian illumination in her palette but overall these sources are but influences; the illuminations are far from merely imitative. The design pulls you in and as one gazes longer one will discover small figurative imagery woven into the lines and swirls of the larger ornamentation. Words are beyond us to come close to capturing their complexity and character -- our photos hopefully will impart something of that. Let us just say the colors are deep and bold. Within these extraordinary borders is the calligraphic text rendered in a stunning easily legible Gothic Fraktur script. And there are four dream-like miniature watercolors as well of scenic Persian villages. N.d. circa early 1920s. 4to. 28.5 by 19 cm. Unpaginated 14 leaves with illumination -- illumination on one side. The back side of the leaf then left blank. Tissue guards for each page with illumination. The first leaf has no text -- it is a rectangular abstract design suggestive perhaps of a spectacular rug and inspired by such illuminated painting as one finds in many an antiquarian Koran. The next leaf is the title page with the words appearing to float on the page. The lettering has a distinctive verticality and the gilt letters are both clearly the letters they are supposed to be but have an abstraction that one can imagine they are Arabic script as well. The last two leaves with a more restrained formalistic illumination has evenly spaced dome-shaped pointers as one finds in Koranic decoration to highlight important passages. The binding slipcase and chemise are functional but don't really do the contents justice. Other than some crease marks on the calf and light wear overall to these protective features the binding and slipcase present no issues. unknown
1953réf. 000662New York: Etting Emlen Self Published 1953. Soft cover. Very Good. 8 1/2 x 11. Etting Emlen. Emlen Etting's unpublished translation original manuscript with his 6 watercolor drawings for that of Rainer Maria Rilke's prose poen The Song of Love and Death of Standard-Bearer Christoph Rilke Cornet Christoph Rilke. Typed manuscript title page 28 pp. dated 1953 with pencil ms. emendations and six original erotic ink and water-color illustrations by noted painter Emlen Etting signed. The manuscript is typed on standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper while the water-color illustrations are on the verso of blank letterhead of the Philadelphia chapter of the Artists Equity Association of which Etting was at the time Chairman that paper being watermarked parchment stationery. Includes original shipping envelope see images. An unpublished translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's prose poem 1899 of war love and sex and the surreal but heroic death of Christoph Rilke in the seventeenth century accompanied by what would have been its erotic illustrations. Slumbering nudes mortally wounded heroes in the buff and love-making couples appear to be thematically revised as proofs. The original manila envelope in which all this was contained is included addressed from Etting at his Philadelphia address to himself in care of Midtown Galleries in New York City and says in part "6 Preparatory Sketches for 'Lovers' / Rilke's Song of Love and Death of the Standard-Bearer". Rilke's singular prose poem published as part of other titles but apparently never separately was by the name Cornet Christoph Rilke's Song of Love and Death and other variants the basis of an opera by Siegfried Matthus a symphony by Viktor Ullmann and other artistic treatments. Etting's translation here carries alternately and sometimes together stark surreal dreamlike melodic and poetic tone presumably true to the Rilke original the reading of which in its original language I am incapable. In any case here it is deeply and strangely moving in its own right. I found myself reading it aloud as if it were a play. Title sheet of manuscript slightly torn at top see scan; some see- through from verso of the water-colors. Overall better than very good. Not bound. A - somehow - spooky feeling pervades this set IMO. Ain't but one like this. LG-1 Etting, Emlen (Self Published) paperback

L'ouvrage réunit cinquante-neuf reproductions en collotype de gravures sur bois réalisées par plusieurs figures majeures de l'école russe et soviétique de la gravure des années 1920-1930, parmi lesquelles Vladimir Favorsky, Dmitri Mitrokhin, Alexei Kravchenko et Pavel Pavlinov. Accompagné d'une traduction abrégée par Chen Jie d'un essai de l'historien de l'art soviétique A. D. Chegodaev, ainsi que d'une préface, d'un catalogue des planches et d'une postface, le volume fut conçu comme une introduction à l'estampe contemporaine soviétique pour le public chinois. Témoignage remarquable des échanges artistiques sino-soviétiques dans le Shanghai républicain des années 1930, il s'inscrit dans le contexte du mouvement de la Nouvelle Gravure (新興木刻運動), alors en plein essor sous l'influence des milieux intellectuels de gauche et des réseaux culturels gravitant autour de la librairie Uchiyama et de la figure de Lu Xun.

ABOUT: Rare anthology devoted to modern Soviet wood engraving and printmaking, published in Shanghai by Sanjian Shuwu and distributed through Uchiyama Bookstore (內山書店). The volume gathers fifty-nine collotype reproductions of woodcuts by several leading figures of the Russian and Soviet printmaking revival of the 1920s and 1930s, including Vladimir Favorsky, Dmitri Mitrokhin, Alexei Kravchenko and Pavel Pavlinov. Accompanied by Chen Jie's abridged translation of an essay by Soviet art historian A. D. Chegodaev, as well as a preface, plate catalogue and postface, the work was conceived as an introduction to contemporary Soviet printmaking for Chinese readers. A remarkable testimony to Sino-Soviet artistic exchanges in Republican-era Shanghai, it belongs to the context of the New Woodcut Movement (新興木刻運動), then flourishing under the influence of left-wing intellectual circles and cultural networks associated with Uchiyama Bookstore and the figure of Lu Xun. The reproductions were assembled from Soviet books, periodicals and documentary sources discovered in the early 1930s, notably through the journal Graphika. /// 中文：三閒書屋出版 — 《引玉集：木刻五十九幅》 — 1935年4月再版 — 32開（19.5 × 15.5厘米）精裝本，黑色書脊，封面貼書名籤 — 68頁 — 收錄蘇聯木刻作品59幅，以珂羅版工藝依據藝術家提供之原拓本複製印製 — 附陳節摘譯 A.

réf. 43935Amsterdam: En Casa de Joris Trigg/ D. Efraim Bueno y Jona Abravanel 5412. Hardcover. g- to vg-. Duoecimo. 7x4.5". 478pp. Original dark brown leather with blind-stamped ruling and tooling on the covers and spine. Raised bands on the spine. Metal clasps. Red-speckled edges of the book block. An early Spanish-language edition of the complete Jewish High Holiday prayer book Machzor based on the original translation by Abraham Usque originally printed in Ferarra Italy in 1553. This edition contains some added material not previously present including most prominently Solomon ibn Gabirol's famed philosophical poem "Keter Malkhut" Royal Crown which over the years has come to be read as part of the Yom Kippur service in some Jewish traditions. Published by Dr. Efraim Bueno and Jona Abravanel to serve members of the then sizable Sephardic Jewish community in Amsterdam. A significant portion of the community were former Conversos Jews who had outwardly converted to Catholicism during the inquisition in Spain who then emmigrated and were able to reestablish their Jewish identity and thus were unable to read Hebrew hence the text's publication in Spanish. As stated in the foreword this edition includes some additions to the text not included in previous versions and omits some material deemed to have been unnecessary. The prayer book starts with the penitential prayers Selichot p.3-47 which includes decorative head and endpeices. This section is followed by the Rosh Hashanah service p.48-195 and then the Yom Kippur service including the "Keter Malkhut" p.254-289. Title page is has a decorative vignette printed in woodblock and is printed with the Hebrew date "5412". Pages 305-352 are misprinted as "321-368" with their correct numbers handwritten above in ink. All text in Spanish. Binding with some rubbing and scratches to extremities and to the covers. Front hinge starting to split slightly at the head and tail of the spine. Missing one of the metal clasps on the back cover. Starting at interior covers. Some minor to light sporadic damp staining and foxing throughout the text. Period signature of the previous owner "Silva" in ink on on the title page and p.200. Name of another previous owner in ink on the interior back cover. Book block tight overall. Binding in good- interior in very good- condition overall. Quite scarce. Dr. Efraim Ephraim Bueno aka Martin Alvarez 1599-1665 was a Portuguese-born Jewish physician in Amsterdam of the famed Iberian-Jewish Bueno medical dynasty and prominent member of the city's Sephardic community. He served for many years as the personal physician to famed artist Rembrandt van Rijn who in fact depicted Bueno in two of his works one an etching and the other a painted portrait. He received his medical education and degree in Bordeaux and was known to have practiced medicine in Amsterdam until the time of his death. In addition to his medical practice Bueno was an accomplished biblical scholar who along with Jona Abravanel published numerous Jewish works the on the bible and Jewish Law. Jona Abravanel 1593-1667 was a Sephardic Jewish poet in Amsterdam from the prominent Abravanel family. He was the nephew of Famed Portueguse-Dutch Rabbi and printer Menasseh ben Israel. Together with his uncle and Dr. Efraim Bueno he was responsible for publishing numerous works of Judiaca in the 17th century. In this edition the title page was mistaken printed with the word "Kuyper" which was then correct via a scrap of paper pasted on top.

réf. 9594New Haven: Editions Wequetequock Cove 2006. Full Leather. Fine binding. Small folio 8.5" x 7". 32 pp. illus. Limited edition number 23 of 50 copies. Signed by Baltazar and Watsky. This copy sewn on meeting guards with silk endbands. Bound in dyed calf and finished with recessed stone veneer over sheep skiver dyed calf inlays and onlays as well as onlays in lizard. Subtly titled in blind across one of the onlays at the spine. Paper doublures with dyed calf hinges. Botehlo writes of this book being "filled with etchings of heavy lined and voluptuous shapes with textures and shade all done in black. The poetry evoked for me the verdancy of rogue plants that spring up between the cracks of concrete. It spoke of the appeal of being a snake allusions to original sin. I wanted the green onlays that have been dyed and embossed to be pillowed the stone inviting touch. I intended to create something that invites a sensory exploration." And here she has succeeded with astonishing grace creating a design that draws and keeps the attention. Wonderfully conceived and executed with exceptional skill. Botelho is among a select group of extraordinary design binders who are graduates from the American Academy of Bookbinding Fine Binding program. Editions Wequetequock Cove unknown
1821réf. 20381Milano: Presso Paolo Antonio Tosi & Comp. Typof Gio. Perottaography 1821. Hardcover. Pebbled cloth spines and corners. Marbled paper pastedown on boards. Very Good. A magisterial work on the immense symbolic and allegorical vocabulary used in painting and sculpture in the early Modern era. While no work could possibly encompass every iconographic essay nor hope to capture the infinite variants on particular iconographic notions this work comes as close as possible and brings order to the subject that probably baffles many a modern museum goer. Plus the illustrations are pleasing in and of themselves. 4to. Vol. 1: xii 17-240 8 pp. Missing pages with descriptions of plates 1 to 8. Vol. 2: 1-240 8 pp. Plate volume: 240 hand-colored etched plates all painted by Pistrucci. Think of a human personality trait or of any allegorical painting's subject and Pistrucci renders a version that captures the typical representation of it. Often times the representation is of a dichotomy such as day and night east and west early and late fertility and sterility. Pistrucci's style befits the mythological tenor of the genre and one can easily imagine the same images as part of the stately decoration of a monument an august public edifice a theater -- the ceiling fresco a frieze a sculpted pediment. Scattered light soiling including occasional foxing. Plates are generally clean and bright. Both volumes rebacked with black cloth spine labels preserved and mounted. Both copies tight. Moderate wear along edges. As mentioned already pages 1-16 missing from the first volume. Presso Paolo Antonio Tosi & Comp. Typof Gio. Perottaography hardcover
