1839rif. 50727New York: Samuel Colman 1839. Very good. Early edition of the book that made the Rollo series big intended to instruct the novice American reader by combining a mature vocabulary with a lively series of animal metamorphoses and moral lessons. The hapless and ungrateful Rollo made his first cameo appearance in the rare THE LITTLE SCHOLAR LEARNING TO TALK: A Picture Book for Rollo by His Father reissued in 1839 as ROLLO LEARNING TO TALK. ROLLO LEARNING TO READ is thus technically the second Rollo book but the first "devoted wholly to Rollo" Blanck and is the title responsible for the series's popularity and influence. 6.25'' x 4''. Original gilt-lettered blind-stamped green cloth. Illustrated with black and white frontispiece and full-page wood engravings. 180 pages. Moderate edgewear and scuffing to boards sometimes exposing bits of board. Pencil to front free endpaper. Mild foxing throughout. Samuel Colman unknown books

Original lithographed poster with text and illustrations printed in dark red and black on thick cream laid paper measuring 48cm x 66.25cm 18 7/8" x 26 1/8". Mild handling a few faint creases from being rolled with a half-dozen foxed spots; unbacked; Near Fine. A striking poster by Lawrence designed to promote his first solo exhibition at Terry Dintenfass Inc. in New York. The illustration was derived from Lawrence's 1963 tempera painting "Two Rebels" "showing four white policemen carrying two black men. The heads of some fifteen witnesses crowd in. In the poster that number was reduced to ten heads that float like moons of light above a protester and his police handlers with their billy clubs dangling from their wrists" Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence pp.174-175. Paintings like "Two Rebels" "Soldiers and Students" and "Four Students" were almost certainly triggered by news photos and television images of the immediate events of 1960-62 in the South. The poster is not separately listed in OCLC though a signed and numbered lithograph of the image edition of 50 is held at the LC. 82862. Terry Dintenfass unknown

An outstanding salesman sample photo album recording the use of Shope’s patented brick facades for homebuilding apartment buildings commercial buildings and interiors in the Pacific Northwest during World War I. The album opens with a 1914 award certificate from the Manufacturers & Land Products Show which remained on permanent exhibit at the Pacific International Exposition Building for over 10 years. This is followed by photographs shot of such buildings as the newly completed Aetna Apartments Printing Office at 21st & Sandy; the Utah-Idaho Motor Co. Maxwell dealership in Pocatello ID; the Golden Rule store in the Morris Block in Lewiston ID; the Miller Wood Fuel Co. in Portland OR with Chief Gasoline pump in front; the King Albert Apartments in Portland OR finished in 1918; together with many splendid examples of PNW Arts & Crafts homes. The featured homes include a stately residence on 49th & Belmont the Dr. Tamiesie House porch piers and tile floor in Laurelhurst now the Sisters of Social Services Home; the Nash home on Sunnyside; Armstrong residence on Council Crest; striking residences in Rose City Park Irvington and Alameda. Also featured are Craftsmen homes in Walla Walla Pocatello Corvallis Spokane and in other areas of Portland. Fourteen of the photographs depict the ornamental Arts & Crafts brick facades for fireplaces with interior shots. The main fireplace in the furnished Dr. Tamiesie home the DeKeater residence the fireplace finished in 1916 for the East Side Business Men’s Club in Portland and others. Founded originally in 1910 in the City of Portland by David Shope 1862-1948 having developed his specialized brick-making machinery for clay & concrete bricks as featured in the final photograph the company’s products quickly proved popular with Arts & Crafts architects in the Pacific Northwest. Shope used a patented process to achieve what he termed the “Red Wire Cut” and “Old Gold Rough Texture” for commercial facades and also used concrete cast stone to achieve special effects and sold his licensed machinery to contractors as well. By 1922 he heavily marketed the fact that the Shope facades were the only ones to mostly survive the 1922 Astoria fire. He also aggressively protected his patents suing competitors on a regular basis. After 1923 he sold out to the Eugene Concrete Pipe Company and returned to Lake City MN where he lived with his daughter Birdie. Gensler 1873-1968 was a German-American photographer in San Francisco CA who operated Columbia Commercial Studio from about 1915 through World War II before moving back to Alameda CA and in two of the photos he has proudly displayed his 1915 Harley-Davidson V-Twin motorcycle in the foreground. We could find no similar album or collection of photographs in any holdings for the Shope Brick Co. Shope Brick Co., [Columbia Commercial Studio, 167 Fourth Ave.], unknown
1652rif. 5476Antwerp 1652. 4to 18 x 14.5 cm. Jan Huyssens Later 17th-century mottled calf sewn on 4 double cords gold-tooled spine and board edges. With a double-page letterpress title-page with a frame built up from typographic ornaments and 39 unnumbered double-page engraved maps of the northern and southern Low Countries by Jacob Aertsz. Colom each map coloured in outline. Interleaved with 38 blank leaves and with a manuscript table of contents 3 3 blank pp. at the end. Double-page title-page and 39 double-page maps. Second known copy of a pocket-atlas published at Antwerp but containing a selection of the maps of the Low Countries originally published by Jacob Aertsz. Colom at Amsterdam in 1635 with the title De Vyerighe Colom the title Colom had first used for his famous pilot guide in 1632 and the name he had given to his Amsterdam printing office where he worked from 1622 to his death in 1673 as a bookseller printer and mapmaker. The only other copy known is at the Royal Library in Brussels. The Vyerighe Colom with 47 maps and 3 plates and with extensive text in Dutch and French went through several editions in the 17th century but it was once thought that all editions before his death in 1673 had been published at Amsterdam by Colom himself. The Royal Library copy like the present one contains 39 maps but each contains one map not in the other so there are forty in total: the present copy includes Drentiae not in the Royal Library copy which includes Le terres entre la Meuse Vahal et Rhin not present here. The maps are also bound in a different order.The present edition is of great interest and gives cause to review Colom's activities. It is printed from Coloms plates so Colom may have licenced the Antwerp publisher to produce a variant edition of his Vyerighe Colom to broaden his market possibly reacting to the signing of the Peace of Münster in 1648 which finally ended the Eighty Years War and opened trade and communication between the northern and southern Low Countries. Jan Huyssens made an entirely new and practical atlas out of Colom's Vyerighe Colom. He omitted all text and the three plates that do not show maps and selected only maps of general interest leaving out the map of the ancient Low Countries and such typical Dutch maps as the separate maps of the polders De Zype Beemster Wormer Purmer Byllemermeer and Waterland also - at least in the present copy - completely rearranging the maps more in order of their geographical sequence. The title suggests that Huyssens originally planned to include a text so the present extremely rare edition may be the only surviving result of an abandoned project.l Koeman & Van der Krogt 365.23 IIIB pp. 644-645 2 copies: the present & Royal Library Brussels; UniCat 99095764 Royal Library Brussels only; cf.

1772rif. 46993Mannheim: Churfurstl. Hof-und Academie-Buchdruckerey 1772. Rare Account of Lower California by a German Jesuit First printing of this rare and important account of Lower California by the German Jesuit Jacob Baegert. Baegert lived in Baja California for seventeen years 1751-68 and spent most of his time at the Mission of San Luis Gonzaga leaving after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. He provides some important details on the culture of the Indians of Baja California including the Pericues Guiacuras and Cochiemes. Part one is an overview of California its climate and products; part two describes the inhabitants; and the third part contains an account of the introduction of Christianity to California. Wagner states that the German Jesuits were especially dissatisfied toward the end of the Jesuit regime in California and Baegert's bitterness is evident in his book: ".it was a land full of ferocious beasts and even more ferocious Indians the soil was poor the water undrinkable and there was no fuel to be had." The fine and important map was made by fellow Jesuit Ferdinand Consak and is described by Streeter as "most helpful in giving the location of the many Jesuit missions in Lower California. It also shows the route along the west coast of Mexico followed by Baegert in going to California in 1751 and his route out in 1768 after the expulsion of the Jesuits." The top right corner of the territory present-day Arizona is labeled rather ominously "Los Apaches Barbari." The excellent plates which were apparently not issued with all copies depict male and female California Indians. A prime early account of Baja California with an important map and plates of the region. 163581pp. plus two engraved plates on one sheet and folding map. Small octavo. Modern half vellum and marbled boards spine gilt. A bit of light age toning an occasional light fox mark. Three small purple ink spots in lower portion of map. Near fine. HOWES B29 "b." HILL 46.
