The Day of the Rabblement

1901réf. JCFA11652Dublin: Gerrard Bros. 1901. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Original staple-bound pink printed wraps; pp. 8. In original mailing envelope from Michael Papantonio First Editions and Rare Books 509 Madison Ave. New York c. 1939 addressed to R. H. Pitney. One of only 85 copies printed. This is the first edition of Joyce's second published work and his first appearance in a book. His first published work was a review of Ibsen's "When We Dead Awaken" published in the Fortnightly Review the previous year. Joyce's essay written when he was a nineteen-year-old student at University College Dublin is an attack on the Irish Literary Theater and its founders -- Yeats Moore and Martyn. He accuses them of abandoning the high ideals of the Theater's founding and catering to popular tastes becoming "the property of the rabblement of the most belated race in Europe." Issued in "Two Essays" along with "A Forgotten Aspect of the University Question" by F. J. C. Skeffington Joyce's school friend advocating for equal university rights for women. Both essays were first rejected "refused insertion by the Censor" by St. Stephen's the newspaper of the University College Dublin at which point Joyce and Skeffington gather the 2 pounds 5 shillings necessary to have the essays printed at a local stationery shop. /// The provenance is also interesting. Michael Papantonio 1907-1978 enjoyed a long history in the rare book trade beginning at the Brick Row Bookshop at the age of seventeen. Twelve years later he opened his own shop specializing in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English literature and Americana. WWII interrupted his career. After his discharge from the Army Medical Corps Papantonio formed a partnership with John S. Van Eisen Kohn launching the Seven Gables Bookshop. Papantonio's expertise in English literature complemented Kohn's knowledge of American literature. Together they built an antiquarian book business recognized for the quality of its stock and the integrity of its operations. Among the private collectors who bought from Seven Gables were Robert Taylor William E. Stockhausen Clifton Waller Barrett H. Bradley Martin Gordon Ray Mary Massey Folger Library Pierpont Morgan Library Yale Harvard Columbia and Princeton. Papantonio was also an expert in early American bindings and curated a travelling exhibition of them -- the catalogue for it is still a respected reference on the subject. Papantonio was a founding member of the ABAA. Gerrard Bros. paperback books

Ulysses

1935réf. 241728New York: Limited Editions Club 1935. Signed Limited Edition. Publisher's brown cloth decorated in gilt top edge speckled in glassine jacket housed in publisher's plain pale yellow slipcase spine titled in brown. Fine in toned and lightly chipped original glassine jacket in near fine publisher's slipcase. Illustrated by Henri Matisse in six etchings with accompanying preliminary sketches on blue and yellow transparent overlays. i-iii-xv 3 363 3pp. 12" x 9.5" NOT EVERY PICTURE TELLS THE STORY In October 1929 the stock market crashed and the twenty-nine year old George Macy 1900-1956 introduced the first book in his publishing venture The Limited Editions Club. Subscribers paid an affordable monthly price for editions de luxe of literary classics illustrated and signed by notable artists often designed by Macy in a limitation of 1500 copies. At the time the idea was groundbreaking and surprisingly well-received and Macy displayed an unflagging all-American spirit of purpose driven by risk-taking that would keep his publishing passion afloat through the Depression and onward. As its centenary approaches it appears that LECs have also survived the quirks and whims of book collectors thanks to Macy's unbridled instinct for matching artists with texts. Take for example the strangest marriage of them all Henri Matisse meets James Joyce's Ulysses the most valuable blunder in LEC history. An indignant Joyce finding out that Matisse had never read the book dropped out of the project at the eleventh hour signing only 250 copies sparking endless gossip and criticism and making it the most desirable of any of the LECs. Our copy may not have Joyce's imprimatur but it is otherwise complete and in spectacular condition making it a special offering from our Spring acquisitions. Limited to the standard 1500 signed and numbered copies of which this is number 364 signed by Matisse in pencil on the limitation page--preserved here in incredibly scarce original glassine.

Selected by the Independent Curators for the Franklin Furnace exhibition "Contemporary Illustrated Books" as one of the 50 best illustrated books from 1966-1988 it was also featured in the Boston Athenaeum exhibition "Artists of the Book 1988: A Facet of Modernism." This important book was sold out within six months of publication and is now infrequently available on the secondary market. It is hard to overstate the importance of this book in contemporary book arts. It is one of the first if not the first to entice the reader / viewer with texts and images that they must manipulate to fully see - something now a relatively common occurrence in book arts.

Stonier called Joyce ‘one of the very few great writers of our time’ who deserved ‘not a little admiration.’ Haveth Childers Everywhere he thought ‘a collector’s piece beautifully printed and bound but to me at least almost completely unintelligible’" Bowker p. 398.
