1949rif. 191673Paris: 1949. These be my genteelican arms." Finnegans Wake Joyce's posthumous bookplate engraved with the same arms the author used during his lifetime. His father John Joyce based the family arms on those of the Joyces of Galway as described in the 1884 edition of Burke's General Armory. However Burke described them inaccurately leading the writer to inherit armorial deviations such as the eagle not being twin headed. In James Joyce and Heraldry 1986 Michael J. O'Shea argues for the significance of heraldry throughout Joyce's works. "The Joyces had no official grant of arms; moreover no genealogical link has been demonstrated between the armigerous Galway Joyces and the author's Cork ancestors. Nevertheless John Joyce apparently treated his heraldic legacy with care and his son James was known to have a version of the arms hanging on the wall of his various residences in Paris" O'Shea p. 49. It was commissioned from the artist Johnny Friedlaender by La Hune bookshop Paris following their sale of the author's library in 1949. Bookplate engraved with the Joyce coat of arms an eagle gules displayed and charged on the breast with a bar gemel ermine; crest: a demi wolf rampant ducally gorged proper; motto: "Mors aut honorabilis vita". Sheet size: 199 x 150 mm. Couple of spots and creases else fine. unknown

1939rif. 140930New York: Modern Language Association of America March 1939. The truly rare original offprint with only two copies listed by WorldCat worldwide Harvard and National Library of Israel of this groundbreaking early article on James Joyce published two months before the final release of Finnegans Wake. Joseph Prescott was to become a major voice in Joycean studies in particular through his book Exploring James Joyce 1964. A contemporary reviewer of Exploring James Joyce vaunted him as a pioneer "in the American academic study of James Joyce as author of a scholarly article in 1939 and of the first PH.D. thesis six years later. For two decades Joseph Prescott has been recognized as the man who knows most thoroughly the text of Ulysses." Kain pp. 253-6. James Joyce: A Study in Words was published two months before the final release of Finnegans Wake appraising Joyce's development through Dubliners the Portrait and Ulysses to the "Work in Progress". Notably unawed by his subject Prescott sensitively weighs Joyce's relationship to language opening wryly: "The writings of Joyce show a progression from an early interest in words through a mature use of them to the excessive fondness of old age". His final paragraph constitutes a striking satire on the logical conclusion of Joyce's development: "To such writing there is one final conclusion. Joyce will call his next work something like Tabula Rasa and regale the reader with hundreds of pages of closely bound paper each one of which will be innocent of printer's ink a commodity so ubiquitous and domineering in the past that no literature has yet escaped it. Disciples will swarm to the defence of the Master and learned commentaries will be spun out to show how superbly how flawlessly how incomparably James Joyce has rendered for all time the picture of the mind at that obscure moment in our embryological past before we are ushered in the world of sensation and idea - in short the perfectly blank mind. The era of technique will then not be at an end but at its culmination and all men will follow the Master varying perhaps only in the number of pages or again according to the intensity of their artistic vision in the degree of the whiteness of the page. And it shall come to pass in that day that the great writer shall consort with the little and wolf shall dwell with the lamb and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall read them." Octavo. Original light brown wrappers stapled within titles printed in black to front wrapper. Some rust marking showing through wrappers from staples some light creasing around wrappers small perforation to front wrapper and title page not affecting text. Good condition. Richard M.

Six commercial photographic postcards round out the collection which depict scenes in Japan with English printed captions beneath the images. unknown
