Artist book in folding concertina format: double-page manuscript coloured title; 5 double-page manuscript coloured text openings each with a colored etching accompanying text. 1 vols. Oblong folio. Exceedingly rare early work by Isaiah Zagar b. 1939 visionary vernacular artist who is most widely known for his mosaic installation the Magic Gardens site on South Street in Philadelphia. One of four copies of illustrations to the familiar nursery rhyme a work produced while the artist studied under Fritz Eichenberg at Pratt. Visual elements expressed during his later career can be discerned here at the outset. From the artist's mission statement : "It is true to a certain extent; I have been copying Clarence Schmidt my whole career trying to make a total encyclopedic vision that has no parameters and no end. My work is marked by events and is a mirror of the mind that is building and falling apart having a logic but close to chaos refusing to stay still for the camera and giving one a sense of heaven and hell simultaneously."

1888réf. 1125San Francisco: Isaiah West Taber ca. late-1880s; negative earlier. Boudoir card 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches. Albumen photographic print mounted on card captioned "B 3. Chinese Restaurant S. F. Cal. Taber Photo. San Francisco" in the negative. Minor wear at edges of mount. Near fine A striking view of Woey Sin Low 會仙樓 one of the longest-running and most celebrated restaurants in nineteenth-century San Francisco's Chinatown. Located at 808 Dupont Street now Grant Avenue Woey Sin Low was in operation by at least 1871 and remained at the same address until the destruction of Chinatown in the earthquake and fire of 1906. Its unusually elaborate façade and balconies made the restaurant a recurring subject for photographers of the neighborhood including Taber who later photographed both the building and views from its upper balcony. The photograph itself appears to have a somewhat complicated production history. An example in the Bancroft Library has been attributed to San Francisco photographer Oscar V. Lange and the image is reported also to have been published by the short-lived photographic firm of MacDonald & Dowe before being issued by Isaiah West Taber. The present example is Taber's boudoir-card issue with his credit and the number and title "B 3. Chinese Restaurant S. F. Cal." in the negative. Taber was offering the image by about 1889 when No. 3 "Chinese Restaurant Chinatown" appeared among the 5 x 8-inch "Boudoir Photos" listed in his CATALOGUE ALASKA TO MEXICO. The photograph probably predates substantial alterations to the restaurant's upper façade visible in later photographs although the date of the original negative remains uncertain. Beyond its architectural interest the photograph provides an unusually detailed early record of a specific Chinese business otherwise presented to Taber's largely non-Chinese market simply as a generic "Chinese Restaurant." The large characters "會仙樓"visible on the façade identify Woey Sin Low by name while the image preserves the restaurant and surrounding Dupont Street streetscape well before the destruction and rebuilding of San Francisco's Chinatown in 1906.

réf. 06549London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897. The Grand Banks - Where Boys Become Men" A Classic of the Sea KIPLING Rudyard. 'Captains Courageous' A Story of the Grand Banks. With illustrations by I. W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897. First edition. Small octavo 7 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches; 184 x 121 mm. viii 245 1 blank 2 advertisements pp. With twenty-two full-page illustrations by I. W. Taber. Publisher's blue cloth front cover and spine pictorially decorated in gilt dark gray coated endpapers all edges gilt. Minimal rubbing to extremities small bookseller's description neatly affixed to front paste-down. A touch of very light foxing otherwise a near fine copy the notoriously fragile endpapers remarkably fresh and intact. One of Kipling's most enduring and widely read novels Captains Courageous stands apart within his canon as a pure sea story drawn from his own experiences aboard fishing vessels off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. First published in 1897 it tells the story of Harvey Cheyne a spoiled American boy transformed by hardship discipline and camaraderie after being swept overboard and rescued by a Gloucester fishing schooner. The novel's vivid depiction of life at sea - its dangers routines and moral code - owes much to Kipling's gift for observation and his admiration for working seamen. The result is a narrative at once adventurous and deeply humane often compared to the great maritime traditions of Dana and Melville but with a distinctly Kiplingesque emphasis on character and duty. Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 is a slightly deceptive figure in this context - he was not primarily a book illustrator but one of the leading American photographers of the late 19th century based in San Francisco. That explains why the plates in Captains Courageous feel unusually "real": they are derived from photographic studies not traditional drawn illustration. The publisher's pictorial gilt cloth binding with its bold maritime design is particularly attractive and increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition especially with the delicate coated endpapers intact and the gilt still bright. A handsome and increasingly scarce first edition of one of the great literary evocations of the sea. London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1897 unknown books

2004réf. 2319102Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 2004. Hard Cover. Very Good/Near Fine. 6x2x9. Remainder mark ink mark on half-title page some ink underlining. 2004 Hard Cover. xlviii 755 pp. Isaiah Berlin is one of the towering intellectual figures of the twentieth century the most famous English thinker of the post-war era and the focus of growing interest and discussion. Above all he is one of the best modern exponents of the disappearing art of letter-writing. 'Life is not worth living unless one can be indiscreet to intimate friends' wrote Berlin to a correspondent. This first volume inaugurates a long awaited edition of his letters that might well adopt this remark as an epigraph. Berlin's life was well worth living both for himself and for the world. Fortunately he said a great deal to his friends on paper as well as in person. Berlin's letters reveal the significant growth and development of his personality and career over the two decades covered within them. Starting with his days as an eighteen year old student at St. Paul's School in London they cover his years at Oxford as scholar and professor and the authorship of his famous biography of Karl Marx. The letters progress to his World War II stay in the U.S. and finally his trip to the Soviet Union in 1945-6 and return to Oxford in 1946. "Emotional exploitation cannibalism which I think I dislike more than anything else in the world." To Ben Nicolson September 1937 "Valery delivered an agreeable but dull lecture here. He said words were like thin planks over precipices and if you crossed rapidly nothing happened but if you stopped on any of them and stared into the gulf you would get vertigo and that was what philosophers were doing." To Cressida Bonham Carter March 1939 "I never don't moralize." To Mary Fisher 18 April 1940 "I only feel happy when I feel the solidarity of the majority of people I respect with and behind me." To Marion Frankfurter 23 August 1940 "Certainly no politics are more real than those of academic life no loves deeper no hatreds more burning no principles more sacred." To Freya Stark 12 June 1944 "Nobody is so fiercely bureaucratic or so stern with soldiers and regular civil servants as the don disguised as temporary government official armed with an indestructible superiority complex." To Freya Stark 12 June 1944 "My view on this is that you will not find life in the country lively enough for persons of your temperament. Life in the country in England depends entirely on a motor cars b rural tastes. As you possess neither it is my considered view that apart from a weekend cottage or something of that sort life in the country would bore you stiff within a very short time." To his parents 31 January 1944 "This country is undoubtedly the largest assembly of fundamentally benevolent human beings ever gathered together but the thought of staying here remains a nightmare." To his parents 31 January 1944 "I am a hopeless dilettante about matters of fact really and only good for a column of gossip if that." To W. J. Turner 12 June 1945 "England is an old chronic complaint: every day in the afternoon in the left knee and the left leg below the kneecap tiresome annoying not bad enough to go to bed with probably incurable and madly irritating but not necessarily unlikely to lead to a really serious crisis unless complications set in." To Angus Malcolm 20 February 1946. Cambridge University Press hardcover books
