Ipswich MA: Privately Printed 1908. One of my favorite old-time customers was artist Leonard Baskin. Every time he'd see me he'd ask if I'd found him a copy of Arthur Wesley Dow's "By Salt Marshes" He reckoned that since I lived near those very marshes I might find a copy at a yard sale for $5 and sell it to him for $10. But even back then we both knew it was a book of legendary rarity. Dow's multiple-woodblock illustrations evoke Japanese design elements techniques for the printing of which Dow invented himself and incorporated into this work. The seven color prints in this book illustrate the poetry of his lifelong friend Everett Hubbard. The book hand printed by Dow was issued in an edition of about 200 copies of which this is #86 noted by Dow in pencil on the half title which also includes a pencil inscription by him. Bound as issued in cloth over boards front board illustrated with woodblock printing and image by Dow. Front cover tanned at edges contents in fine condition. Dow signed and dated most known copies of this book but I know of no other copies inscribed by him as this one is to "Miss Pike with Christmas wishes from Arthur W. Dow. 1908.". 23.5 cm. 32 pp. Seven color wood block prints plus title colophon endpaper and head- and tailpiece vignettes. . Privately Printed hardcover books

1994réf. 40821New York: Cane Hill Press 1994. First edition. Near fine. Inscribed first printing of Brown's second novel exploring the collision of of art racism and violence in 19th-century minstrel performance. A work of historical fiction by the author of TRAGIC MAGIC beginning in pre-Civil War Kentucky and following a Black dancer and minstrel show performer through the fraught and dangerous American landscape of the 1860s. Brown offered illuminating commentary on his second novel in a recent interview: "It could be argued that blackface minstrelsy represented much of the popular culture of the 19th century . When Black performers used burnt cork in minstrel shows it was often a mimicry of White actors using demeaning stereotypes to depict Black people. They implicitly mocked those very stereotypes. The reprehensible 19th century image of blackface was embedded in the ways African Americans were represented throughout the 20th century. The disturbing minstrel mask is the past that still stalks the present." 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original pictorial wrappers. 224 pages. Inscribed by Brown on title page: "For Kay With many thanks for your interest. Wesley / 1/26/94". Minor edgewear with a few small creases to wrappers. Cane Hill Press unknown books
