Octavo original pictorial wrappers pictorial endpapers frontispiece of Sailor Jerry illustrated with tattoo flash throughout. In fine condition. Introduction by Donald Edward Hardy. Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins 1911–1973 was a seminal figure in the history of American tattooing renowned for elevating the craft through technical innovation bold stylistic synthesis and an uncompromising artistic ethos. Operating primarily out of Honolulu Hawaii Collins fused traditional American tattoo motifs—such as eagles ships and pin-up girls—with Asian influences particularly Japanese design principles creating a distinctive and enduring visual language. His contributions to the medium include the development of safer pigments custom needle configurations and a commitment to hygiene standards that helped professionalize tattooing in the mid-20th century.

1777rif. 10110London: F. Vivares in great Newport Street 1777. Colour-printed mixed method engraving. Printed on laid paper. In excellent condition with the exception of being trimmed within the platemark. Small tear in lower left corner and another small tear on bottom margin. Image size: 10 9/16 x 8 1/4 inches. A lovely impression of this famous print by Louis-Marin Bonnet one of the most celebrated masters of French colour-printing. The son of a Parisian stocking manufacturer Louis-Marin Bonnet 1736-1793 trained with the engravers Louis-Claude LeGrand and Jean-Charles François the latter the inventor of the chalk-manner technique of printmaking. Throughout his career Bonnet developed Francois's printing technique producing some of the most beautiful prints of the period. Bonnet's chalk-manner prints became immensely popular with collectors seeking images that imitated the subtle effects of drawing but he also experimented with various forms of colour printing as seen in this charming print of a young lady playing the guitar. During the late 1770s and 1780s Bonnet's success as a color printmaker was unrivaled and hence he counted among his patrons the wealthiest Parisian collectors of the time. This spectacular print exemplifies the single plate colour printing technique developed in England but quickly adopted by French engravers. The effect is achieved by inking a single plate with several different colours by using a rag stump this process is known as a la poupée. These English colour prints became very popular in Paris and threatened to affect the market for French prints. In an effort to capitalize on this vogue for English prints a few clever French engravers printed their own colour prints with London addresses. This charming image is just such a print; Bonnet published it with F. Vivares's address in London although it was probably published in Paris. He also uses a different variation on his name and lists himself as L. Marin instead of Louis-Marin Bonnet. This is not only an exquisite image from one of the most renowned French engravers but a fascinating glimpse at the practices of the print market in France.

After working in Manila for a month or two he then sails to Hong Kong. During his trip he describes: EVERYBODY BEING EXTREMELY HOT HOMESICK AND SEASICK - DESCRIBES RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL IN MANILA - HAVING A JAPANESE MASSAGE THAT HE WILL NEVER FORGET - GETTING A TATTOO - STAYING ON A STEAMER AND BOSSING 200 MEN REPAIRING BARGES - SNEAKING INTO AN INVITATION ONLY HIGH LEVEL MEETING WITH WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT SETTING UP THE PARLIAMENT OF MANILA AFTER THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR HE DESCRIBES THE SPEECH AND DECORATIONS - TELLS OF ENTERING AN ATHLETIC RACE DURING A LARGE CELEBRATION FOR TAFT - FAKING A FEVER TO BE ABLE TO STAY IN SICK BAY ONLY TO BE FOUND OUT BY THE DOCTOR AND BEING KICKED OUT OF THE INFIRMARY PERMENANTLY - DESCRIBES GUAM - DESCRIBES MANILA HARBOR PEOPLE SIGHTS - MUCH MORE ABOUT MANILA: PARTYING DANCING ENGLISH CHINESE AMERICAN RESIDENTS SIGHTSEEING - DETAILED AND GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF A COCK FIGHT - MEETS MANY 1898 AND 1899 SPANISH AMERICAN WAR VETERANS LIVING IN MANILA AFTER THE WAR - DESCRIBES HONG KONG AND IT'S PEOPLE - etc. There are too many stories descriptions and anecdotes to list!

1665rif. AQ31353London: Printed by T.R. for Thomas Dring at the George in Fleetstreet neer Cliffords-Inn 1665. 32 330pp 14. With extra-engraved title A1v included in the pagination. Contemporary gilt-tooled calf. Rubbed cracking to joints lacking lettering-piece and chipped to spine with neat repair to upper board at foot. Small paper flaw to D1 with loss of catchword to recto and two words of text to verso. Philip Bliss' copy with one line of manuscript notes identifying the author of 'Address to the translator' to a blank-fly leaf and his usual ownership marks the addition of a manuscript initial 'P.' before the printer's register B to leaf B1 followed by '35' indicating his year of acquisition. Earlier inscription 'M. Cowper. Fellow of A: S: Coll. Oxon' to head of title with partially erased note regarding ownership by his grandfather; later inscriptions of Robert and May Montagu to blank fly. With a manuscript note in an early hand to margin and foot of V7r with repaired paper excision/cuts to margins of V7-8. An interesting copy with double Oxford provenance and a curious eighteenth- century manuscript note of John Davies of Kidwelly's 1625-1693 English translation of L'art de connoistre les hommes Paris 1659 by French physician and philosopher Marin Cureau de la Chambre 1594-1669. A vaguely philosophical work on human character with diversions into astrology chiromancy metroscopy and physiognomy the extra-engraved title depicts scholarly study of human heads with both European and African examples displayed on a shelf. Evidently acquired by Oxford University Registrar antiquary and book collector Philip Bliss' 1787-1857 in 1835 this volume also bears the earlier inscription of 'M. Cowper' Fellow of All Souls Oxford. The curious inscription to the foot of pp.235 apparently in the same hand relates at a point of the text referring to weaknesses at times of eclipse the annotators experience of being seized with a 'death like coldness' at the time of 'a great Eclipse of the Sun in the year 1753.or 54' which could not be cured until the said eclipse had passed.
