Dalton Emmett. In collaboration with Jack JungemeyerABAA

When the Daltons Rode.

1931Best.-Nr. 112417Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc 1931. First edition of Emmett Dalton's autobiography. Octavo original cloth with smoking gun vignette to the front panel pictorial endpapers frontispiece portrait of Emmett Dalton after a photograph taken in 1892. Signed by the author on the half-title page "Sincerely yours Emmett Dalton." Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light rubbing. The Dalton brothers led one of the last gangs of horseback outlaws. Ironically three of them - Bob Grant and Emmett - started their careers as deputy marshals. They soon decided that more money could be made from horse rustling and in 1888 they organized a band that carried on a thriving trade. When they came under suspicion toward the end of 1890 the brothers went to California where on February 6 1891 at the small station of Aila they held up a Los Angeles-bound passenger train. The robbery failed when the baggage clerk excaped and the Daltons were unable to break into the safe. Grat was captured and sentenced to twenty years in prison but escaped from the train carrying him to Folsom. The gang resumed operations in Oklahoma where during the next two years they robbed three trains before turning to the more lucrative trade of bank robbery. Modeling their plans on the James brothers the Daltons struck the two banks at Coffeyville Kansas on October 5 1892 hoping as Bob said "to beat anything Jesse James ever did - rob two banks at once in broad daylight." However the identical fate that befell the James gang at Northfield Minnesota awaited the Daltons. Confronted with a large crowd of armed townsfolk the gang attempted to shoot its way to safety; in the battle Bob Gat and two other gang members were killed and Emmett was severely wounded and captured. It is the basis for the 1940 film directed by George Marshall and starring Randolph Scott Kay Francis and Brian Donlevy. Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc hardcover books

The slipcases show minor wear marks scuffs and scratches except the slipcase of volume 3 which shows a bump at the top right side of the back. The dust jackets show minor edge wear scuffs and scratches. Except volume 2 which shows a scratch on the left side of the front cover from below the title until almost the bottom the scratch created a tiny punch without creating a hole the punch is seen from the rear of the dust jacket only if it is removed. The front cover of volume 3 show signs of have been slightly bent. Interior with minor signs of wear except for volume 2 which shows tiny wear marks on a few pages.; OUT OF PRINT SCARCE REFERENCE CATALOGUE. LIMITED EDITION OF 1500 COPIES OF WHICH THIS IS NUMBER 168.; The Topkapi Saray Museum collection of Chinese Ceramics is one of the largest and most important in the whole world yet comparatively little of it has ever been published. The wares assembled here present a continuous review of porcelains made for export from the 13th century to the 19th century which in its range of styles and designs is without equal in any other surviving collection. With some 4500 pieces dating from the Yuan and Ming dynasties and a further 5500 from the Qing the present three-volume work covering the entire collection constitutes the most extensively illustrated book on Chinese ceramics yet published and provides an unrivaled source for dating and the study of design. The main part of the work consists of a complete and definitive catalogue in which every piece is itemised. Each entry is accompanied by one or more monochrome illustrations scaled in size according to importance and many are also shown in colour. The work contains 5000 illustrations in all of which 200 are large-size colour plates. The volumes divide the catalogue into three major sections "Celadon Wares" "Yuan and Ming Porcelains" and "Qing Porcelains". These sections and their sub-divisions are arranged chronologically and are prefaced by extensive introductions by Regina Krahl and John Ayers. Virtually all the celadon wares are products of the famous Longquan kilns and the majority date from the 14th and 15th centuries; numbering in all some 1350 pieces they comprise the most extensive body of such material in existence. In blue-and-white and white wares of the 14th and early 15th centuries too which are widely regarded as the finest products of the Yuan and early Ming the group of 125 pieces has no rival in size or quality while the representation of later Ming export blue-and-white is rich in the extreme; the polychrome and monochrome classes of Ming ware also including some notable rarities. As for the Qing wares of all categories these two comprise a uniquely extensive range of designs still virtually unpublished and of great value to students of Chinese porcelain. The first volume is introduced by a series of essays surveying the background to the collection and various aspects of the ceramics themselves. Dr. Unsal Yucel and Dr. Julian Raby throw new light on how porcelains both entered and left the palace in what quantities and at what dates; Dr. Raby also contributes a penetrating examination of the nature of Ottoman taste in this field showing how porcelain was regarded at the Court and for what purposes and on what occasions it was used. Further important articles examine in detail the use of Chinese and Arabic marks on the porcelains. A full working bibliography a concordance and a thorough index complete the work.

Flaherty Robert J. in collaboration with Frances Hubbard FlahertyABAA

My Eskimo Friends: "Nanook of the North" SIGNED

1924Best.-Nr. 25607Garden City NY: Doubleday Page & Company. Good. 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket sound but worn copy bumping/exposure of boards at all corners light dampstaining to spine; the tipped-in folding map between pages 10 and 11 is present and in excellent condition. 3 color plates 6 halftones 9 photogravures INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "To Paul Bern / with the good wishes / of the author / Robert Flaherty / New York City / Jan 4th 1927." Flaherty's 1922 film NANOOK OF THE NORTH was the most acclaimed documentary of its time -- a time before "documentary film" even existed as a defined genre. Although the passage of time and the revelations of scholarship have diminished and somewhat tarnished Flaherty's reputation NANOOK itself remains an impressive cinematic achievement even if OK some scenes were staged. Three of the book's four sections deal with Flaherty's earlier expeditions into the Hudson Bay region as an explorer and prospector in the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway during which time he learned about the lands and people and conceived the idea of capturing them on film. Parts I-III are: The Discovery and Exploration of the Belcher Islands; Winter on Wetalltok's Island; The Exploration of Northern Ungava. Only Part IV entitled "Films" is specifically about the making of NANOOK which began in 1913 but was beset with difficulties including the destruction by fire in 1916 of 30000 feet of Flaherty's already-exposed film. His account here is somewhat thin on specifics like dates as he chose instead to concentrate largely on his interactions with the Eskimos specifically Nanook himself whose name wasn't actually Nanook at all but never mind. The book's inscribee Paul Bern 1889-1932 has misfortunately gone down in Hollywood history as Jean Harlow's suicidal husband but prior to that he was one of Irving Thalberg's right-hand men his personal assistant in fact and later a producer at M-G-M. In January 1927 Bern was nearing the end of a two-month sojourn in New York on assignment for Thalberg; per a contemporary press report he "saw every current Broadway play during his visit conferred with many noted writers and entered into negotiations for the screen rights of several stories and novels." Flaherty for his part had been in demand following the great box-office success of NANOOK then as now nothing quite caught Hollywood's attention as strongly as an unexpected money-maker and had dipped his toe in the movie colony's pool turning out a South Seas-set narrative documentary MOANA for Paramount; by the time of its release in January 1926 he had moved to New York where he was working when presumably Bern came calling. Whether or not securing Flaherty's services for M-G-M was a specific agenda item it's quite possible that one of the novels to which Bern nailed down the rights was Frederick O'Brien's 1919 book "White Shadows in the South Seas" and it was that very project later in the year for which Flaherty did indeed return to Hollywood -- albeit briefly before M-G-M shipped him off to Tahiti to shoot the film from which production he was later fired but that's another story. Whether these events actually link up neatly in a single chain is open to speculation but in any case the inscription in this book represents a notable crossing of paths by one of the cinema's towering figures -- the father of the documentary film more or less -- and one of Tinseltown's most tragic figures who would a few years later die by his own hand purportedly after just two months of marriage to the luminous Jean Harlow. Bern was known to be a cultured and well-read man with an extensive library; this particular book ended up probably after Bern's death in the hands of his friend and fellow M-G-M producer Carey Wilson from whose estate we obtained the book.
