Abbey "Life" 265; Tooley 434. ◆Spine sunned to maroon bottom corners a bit rubbed frontispiece cropped close at foot with much of the imprint trimmed away otherwise quite a fine copy--the plates in excellent impressions and pleasantly colored without the typical offsetting from these kinds of illustrations and the binding lustrous and with scarcely any wear. With charming illustrations by one or more of the 19th century's leading caricaturists this work is an imitation of the popular "Tour" books of Doctor Syntax featuring a pedantic clergyman and schoolmaster meeting with an onslaught of amusing misfortunes in the course of his wanderings. The original "Tour" published in 1812 was conceived of as a parody of the books of picturesque travels then enjoying a considerable vogue and when it met with a great popular response itself two more tours followed in 1820 and 1821. Even this could not sate the public and a number of imitations of the Syntax books including the present work were issued. There is some disagreement as to whether Thomas Rowlandson 1756-1827 or Isaac Robert Cruikshank 1789-1856 created the illustrations here; as Tooley notes "Both Rowlandson and I. R. Cruikshank are credited with the designs for the plates the balance of opinion favoring Cruikshank but according to the advertisement . . . more than one artist was employed or at least a different engraver to the artist." Either way the amusing illustrations of the follies and faux-pas of the good Doctor Syntax do not disappoint. Aside from being in pleasing condition our copy also stands out for its particularly attractive contemporary binding. J. Johnston unknown

1924réf. 170069Hong Kong.: The South China Morning Post Ltd. circa1924. A fund raising poster in aid of World War I war orphans and children's charities organised by the Ministering Children's League at the Cercle Sportif Shanghai or Saigon Saturday April 12th at 3pm. 1924 76 x 50.5cm. The original art work is in pencil and ink on tracing paper with some art work pasted down. It is fascinating to see the work in progress compared with the finished poster which is printed in black - on fragile paper but in very good condition. Original works from East Asia at this time are extremely scarce because of their ephemeral nature. Even though we have extensively researched this poster published by the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong there remains the possibility that this event could have taken place either in Cercle Sportif in Saigon or in Shanghai. Cercle Sportif Français- Shanghai. 1926 Rue Cardinal Mercier French Concession. Known universally as the "French Club" this building was the home of Shanghai's most popular social and sporting clubs. Unlike the stuffier Shanghai Club and the American Club this was the most cosmopolitan club in town even extending its membership to women quelle horreur!; although to balance this madness female membership was limited to 40. The club featured a roof-top terrace for summer dances restaurants a ballroom restaurants bars billiards room and games room. For the more active there was a huge swimming pool and twenty tennis courts. The clubhouse was designed by Shanghai's leading French architects Alexandre Leonard and Paul Veysseyre of Leonard Veysseyre et Kruze in the French Renaissance style. Cercle Sportif Saigon: The rebuilt Cercle Sportif Saïgonnais at 55 rue Chasseloup-Laubat was inaugurated on 5 December 1925 at “a brilliant reception attended by the Governor of Cochinchina and key notables of the colony.” According to a press release issued on 31 January 1926 by the Agence économique de l’Indochine the Cercle’s upgraded facilities included “10 tennis courts a football field with spectator stands which may rarely be found in France and comfortable buildings with rooms for fencing billiards games and reading a dance hall and vast changing rooms.” It concluded: “Saigon now has a club worthy of the colony which can easily be compared with those in Shanghai Hong Kong or Singapore.” The Ministering Children's League was founded by the Countess of Meath in her London house 83 Lancaster Gate February 10 1885. It owed its inception to the deep impression made upon Lady Meath about a child by M. L. Charles-worth's delightful story "Ministering Children." The idea of the book haunted her and she determined to form a society under that name. A small children's league thus started in a London parish would spread until it encircled the globe. It travelled quickly through the parishes of England was welcomed in Scotland and Ireland and crossed the Atlantic and rooted itself in the United States and in Canada. It had flourishing branches in Australia South Africa New Zealand and Tasmania and has penetrated to India China and Japan. As an international organisation it had no distinction of race colour or creed. . The South China Morning Post Ltd. unknown

réf. MP161661. First State of 2. Arthur Hind refers to Nanteuil as "the master of pure engraving" and "the undisputed head of the French school of portraiture". "At its best his work possesses a noble directness of expression and a complete freedom from all the attractive mannerisms by which a spurious reputation is so lightly gained." Hind A History of Engraving and Etching p. 144 This print was made two years after Nanteuil's appointment as portrait engraver to Louis XIV. It was largely due to Nanteuil's influence that the King granted the edict of 1660 by which engraving was pronounced free and distinct from the mechanical arts and engravers were declared to be entitled to the privileges of other artists. Nanteuil engraved portraits of many distinguished personages including the King Cardinal Richelieu and Queen Christina of Sweden. Le Tellier became Secretary of State for War in 1643 and Chancellor of France in 1677. He played a major role in transforming the French army into a much larger and more professional force dependent on the King and helped draft the revocation of the Edict of Nantes which had granted a large measure of religious freedom to Protestants. The previous owner paid $1800 US plus premium at auction in 2000. Adamczak 159. Pettijean & Wickert 64. copper engraving. 334 x 254 mm. sheet. signed in the plate.

1929réf. 0001973CHICAGO ILLINOIS IL. Good. 1929. On offer is a fascinating original manuscript Depression Era 5 year diary handwritten by a girl named June b. November 6 1909 whose surname is likely either Hluegner or Kandles as she has mention two Grandmothers with those names. June is a sad girl lonely for friendship even while a member of a sorority and it seems her happiness depends on her self image and body weight: 'Went to sorority. They all talk about their fellows. Oh lord! A perfect body!' Her sadness is also reflected in her nostalgia for a few moments of happiness in her past: 'in 1927 two years before this time I was seeing David Filerman. Wonder what he's doing now.' Home life is difficult too: 'Chas and Yi came over after Church. Dad certainly is unscientific. He's right. The world's crazy. Such a tirade of abuse I never heard. Too glad to go to Helen's.' She has one older sister Ruth who is 25 in 1929 and doesn't get along with her. Ruth seems to get all the guys eventually to get married in 1933. June is interested in gardening studies botany and music. Her basic premise is to find love marriage and to lose weight. In these 5 years she achieves nothing in that regard although she learns to drive a car on July 5 1929. June wonders Feb. 20 1930 "why I shouldn't act like other girls Why keep myself clean No fun like others." June is in turmoil about being able to go to college primarily The Principia A School and College for Christian Scientists to which she was accepted July 8 1929 but her attendance seems delayed due to financial difficulties. She does begin to attend in 1932 and also joins the school Glee Club. Besides attending school June works in an office. June does not have an aptitude for studies i.e. October 20 1931 E-French D-European History C-Geology and English and B-Botany. Every so often June laments the fact that she has no boyfriend no money nothing! She does not get along with her father but loves him dearly. Sometimes there's a reprieve and they have a lovely time together. June loves her mother though her mother has expectations of June i.e. her mother would have a fit if she learned she gained 10 lbs. She hates Chicago and often mentions taking grandparents and going shopping in Chicago. She might be living on the outskirts because one entry observes July 20 1931 that the grain is all cut and stacked. This Depression era diary notes on May 11 1930 "most of the furniture gone from the house couldn't give mother anything for Mother's Day". On March 9 1931 "not much food in the house but will manage - so hungry and cold". Then later that year March 26 the family receives a check for $8870.44 and they in turn are very happy. Some miscellaneous observations include: March 4 1933 President Roosevelt elected and March 8 1933 "House meeting on Death" and May 30 1933 "went to Art Institute and saw period rooms and painting exhibit" and June 22 1933 "Went to World's Fair - Marvellous". The approximately 395 page book is well filled and for researchers and historians of Chicago area Depression Era or women's studies will be hard pressed to find a more interesting peek into the world of this young woman.
