Osaka Edo & Kyoto: Yamatoya ShirÅsaburÅ 大和屋四郎三郎 et al. 1823. First edition of this beautifully illustrated guide to making ehon 画本 or picture books. It is rare especially outside Japan and no copy is found in WorldCat. The work opens onto early modern printing culture book distribution and the popular pleasures of reading and consumption. As its title suggests it is a handbook tebiki 手引ã for producing ehon 画本 or "picture books." Ehon covers any book in which illustration plays an important role from fine-art portfolios to illustrated fiction poetry collections travel guides and popular books such as kusazÅshi. Together with the rise of commerce and urban life and a popular fervor for pleasure reading ehon became one of the most influential forms of printed content. The illustrations are alive with humor. The subjects include cheeky scenes of everyday life "behind the scenes" bribery between merchants and politicians armies sojourning across the countryside and festivals. There are also fictional scenes from the classics such as the sage conversing with fish for wisdom along with depictions of nature the changing seasons and personified animals such as traveling frogs. Housewives blacksmiths and Edo contractors are shown at their crafts. Each page carries a short prose text some in the lyrical structure of tanka. The result is an invitation into the imaginative world of early modern Japan carefully portrayed to highlight its essence. The illustrators are of particular interest. The first volume was illustrated by Niwa TÅkei 1760-1822 a prolific Osaka-based painter whose artistic range extended from landscape and refined painting to comic and satirical drawings. He died in the winter of 1822 and his pupil Suga ShÅhÅ 1790-1851 completed the second volume. On the colophon leaf in the second volume we learn the name of the carver: JuryÅken 壽良軒. Very good copy. Unimportant mostly marginal worming carefully repaired. unknown

1917ref. 001174Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Vincent Rene; Leonnec Georges; Giris Cesar et al illustrators. Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. The Decembre 29 1917 Issue 55e annee No 52. Illustrations by Rene Vincent Cesar Giris Georges Leonnec et al. Text in French. Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 19 pp. 1159 through 1177 for the 1917 year plus 1 unnumbered ad leaf and covers. Slender but at folio size a bit too large for full scans. Some cover soiling wrinkling wear and small scale chips; contents sharp bright Very Good overall. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations by Leonnec Giris Vincent et al front cover "Est-ce vous le grand enfant qui veut.une poupee pour son jour de l'an" which I believe means roughly "Are you the Big Baby who wants.a doll for your birthday" featuring a winter-clad but nonetheless fetching young lady pointing at us and Giris' "Petite Secousse au Vieux Marcheur" on the rear cover. Mild nudity sporadically in these issues but quite soft. All of the full page efforst are eminently frame-able and at this time of a sensibility midway-evolved between nouveau and deco as is much of the uncredited b&w illustration. An original - and of course first and only edition - of the 12/29/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent luminaries named above are what what really "make" this issue as was generally the case through the era but cartoons serial fiction and around-town pieces nicely compliment those. Gorgeous oversized large color illustrations are what you collect these for. l-lng1 La Vie Parisienne paperback

A nice run of this official monthly publication "Issued by Industrial Workers of the World to promote the solidarity of labor." Illustrated with many cartoons drawings and black and white photographs. Issues contain a variety of IWW reporting editorial organizing efforts and other literary contributions. This "New Series" or "Second Series" of The One Big Union Monthly was the official monthly periodical of The Industrial Workers of the World which ran for eighteen issues from January 1937 to June 1938. This publication was preceded by The Industrial Pioneer which ran February 1921 to September 1926 though publication was suspended for fifteen month from February 1922 through April 1923 and by the "First Series" of The One Big Union Monthly which ran March 1919 to January 1921. It is immediately noticeable how many of the contributors and artists signed their work using pseudonyms their IWW card numbers or simply chose to remain uncredited more than likely due to the repression and fear of retribution that unions especially IWW members faced during this time in American history. Furthermore it seems as though the canons and biographies of many of the highly accomplished cartoonists and illustrators featured in this publication artists such as Pashtanika Dust Wallin Fred Jerger among several others uncredited or unidentifiable to us remain surprisingly under-documented and/or inaccessible to our online research attempts while cataloguing. Although we must note here that the website "Cartooning Capitalism" created by Michael Mark Cohen does provide some good coverage on the subject https://www.cartooningcapitalism.com/. Franklin Rosemont's 1987 essay "A Short Treatise on Wobbly Cartoons" sheds good light on the subject as well - Rosemont's essay is reprinted in more recent editions of Joyce L. Kornbluh's classic work "Rebel Voices: An IWW Anthology" PM Press 2011. Miles 4778. Industrial Workers of the World [IWW / I.W.W.] unknown
