1931rif. 171519New York: Sheftel Press 1931. First Edition. First Edition. INSCRIBED by the author on the dedication page: "To my excellent friend Charles A. Toompas / with compliments of author / E.A. Bartlett." Toompas has added his own signature just below with the date July 23 1935. With black-and-white photographic illustrations. An early work of true crime describing the life crimes and psychology of Dutch-American serial killer Harry F. Powers. Powers was the subject of much contemporary media fascination and was widely known as the "Bluebeard of Quiet Dell" due to his tactic of luring his victims using "lonely hearts" advertisements. His crimes served as the basis for Davis Grubb's 1953 novel "Night of the Hunter" adapted for film by Charles Laughton in 1955. Very Good plus lacking the dust jacket. Front hinge shaky slight lean spine ends and corners lightly rubbed with an additional owner name in manuscript ink possibly a variation on Toompas' name to the front endpaper. Rare.

As usual the engraved titles with a bit more of the spotting. Generally a very clean and handsome set in unusually nice condition. AN ESPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL WORK FILLED WITH PICTURESQUE STEEL ENGRAVED SCENES OF IRELAND. William Bartlett traveled extensively throughout Europe and the East with his good friend Dr. Beattie and brought home over a thousand drawings. Eventually they were engraved and published into volumes with descriptive text. Here we find one of one of Bartlett's best works partly attributable to the magnificent scenery of the country described. Each engraving combines attention to detail subtle use of lighting and shade and romantic portrayal of the landscape. Scenes are rendered from virtually every corner of the country and include both natural and architectural compositions. The text focuses heavily on the history of each locale but also includes local customs sights and first hand travel impressions. A somewhat elusive title in the Bartlett oeuvre these illustrations of Ireland are typical of his best and most famous work. George Virtue hardcover
