1874Best.-Nr. 54483New York: Stroefer and Kirchner 1874. First English edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Folio. 148 1pp. Brown-burgundy illustrated cloth boards over leather spine. The front cover and spine are lavishly tooled and ruled in gilt with landscape imagery and period floral designs. Glossy textured endpapers. This is the English version of the original German work Rhododendron: Bilder aus den Schweizer Alpen Pictures from the Swiss Alps first published in 1872. The text of the original work was written by German political activist writer and publisher Hermann Alexander von Berlepsch 1813-1883. Here the English text is written by British geologist and mountaineer Thomas George Bonney 1833-1923 who doesn't so much translate from the original German text but rather uses it solely for reference. As stated in the preface Bonney mainly used his own notes and recollections from his experiences in these locations as the basis to create a mostly original text. Like the German edition accompanying and inspiring the text are a total 24 plates of mounted albumen photographs reproducing original paintings of various locations and landscapes of the Swiss Alps by Gustav Paul Closs 1840 - 1870 and Otto Frölicher 1840-1890. Also included are numerous smaller in-text engraved images including historiated initials and tailpieces by artist Gustave Roux 1828-1885. Table of contents at the back. Binding with minor rubbing to corners. Spine lightly rubbed with minor cracking to the front hinge. Minor scratches to the back cover. Book block tight overall with starting at p.33. Interior mostly clean with only minor age toning to the very edges of pages as well as a few sporadic instances of minor to light water staining and/or smudges. Images all clean throughout. Period inscription to a previous owner in pen at the top of the front free endpaper. Binding in very good- interior in very good condition overall. Stroefer and Kirchner hardcover

1977Best.-Nr. 85163Dublin Ireland: Dolmen Press 1977. Limited Edition 1/650 copies. Limited edition 1/650 copies. Quarto. Black cloth over boards 10 5/8 in. x 7 1/4 in. with striking painting by Louis le Brocquy of a rook in flight to front board. White lettering to spine. Housed in Black and Red on White dustjacket. 78 pp with red and black lettering to dustjacket spine. It is interesting to note that while creating the images for this book the artist le Brocquy was healing from an injury which encased his primary drawing/painting hand in plaster. He writes: "In my present task I have not had the use of my right hand which is immobilised in plaster. With my available left hand I cannot write nor do any precise operation at all. It is encouraging therefore to note that this clumsy left hand produces illustrations as well as paintings which are not less articulate than those formerly made with my right. It would seem to show that no predictable skill whatever is involved and that images emerge not by imnposition on my part but as it were automatically -- jerked into coherence by a series of vaguely directed accidents discovered rather than executed. In illlustrating THE GODODDIN I discovered nothing but rooks. This would be less disconcerting were I preoccupied with Ted Hughes's CROW. As it is I have had to accept their persistent presence in THE GODODDIN as a kind of counterpoint to its own repetitive and compassionate insistence and in renewed irony as a recurrent image of the unscathed victor" "Aneirin the sixth-century Welsh poet is reputed to have been one of a handful of survivors from the battle of Catraeth which inspired his epic poem THE GODODDIN.Desmond O'Grady's belief is that what Aneirin wrote of his war is true of all wars and informs the purpose of his version which is to give a 'reading' of the poem as one way in which it might have been written today." Louis le Brocquy executed magnificent brush drawings for Thomas Kinsella's version of the Irish epic THE TAIN.has provided a series of ink paintings to accompany Desmond O'Grady's text.
