1931rif. 1238081931. Luxembourg: Privately Printed n.d. but Paris: Guibal c.1931. 4to 214 pp. With 53 color pochoir illustrations. Original printed wrappers binding cracked and shaken but just holding wrappers unevenly sunned internally fine. § Privately published in an unknown edition. Worldcat lists copies only at Yale and the Bibliothèque nationale de France although it is not rare in commerce. This copy from the library of Gershon Legman. A collection of fifty bawdy ballads beginning with the venerable and obscene "Les Trois Orfevres a la Saint Eloi." In the forward the compiler under the pseudonym "Vidame de Bozegie" explains the book was demanded by subscribers to his previous work 3 Orfèvres à la Saint-Èloi privately printed in Paris in 1930 who welcomed it as a monument de la chanson étudiant but lamented the lack of printed music. In this volume he presents fifty of "the best songs" in "a luxury edition on beautiful paper illustrated with color drawings worthy of a bibliophile." The music for each song is illustrated by pochoir. The author goes on to state: "I have avoided giving the illustrations an erotic character. They are obviously saucy but do not shock too-puritan eyes. I believe them to be worthy of the text." Puritan eyes would probably disagree in the strongest possible terms but it is true that alongside the lyrics the illustrations are comparatively restrained. Gershon Legman the great bibliographer of erotica erotic folklore and origami attributed the work to Edmond Bernard who was responsible for other significant collections of erotic folksongs. See Legman G. "Erotic Folksongs and Ballads: An International Bibliography." The Journal of American Folklore vol. 103 no. 410 1990: 417-501 referencing his own presumably this copy: "Copy: G. Legman. Edited by Edmond Dardenne Bernard as a supplement to his Anthologie Hospitaliere et Latinesque 1911-13 and its partial reprinting in 1930 as Trois Orfevres a la Saint-Eloi.

1917rif. List38101Boston Massachusetts: Daly Music Publisher Inc 1917. Four-page sheet music measuring 10 ½ x 13 ½ inches. Worn especially at edges wrinkled and with a few areas of tape or tape residue covering tears; good. Sheet music for lyricist Jack Caddigan and composer James Brennan's 1917 novelty song "Mister Edison Is Working On It Now." The song expresses that Americans are unworried about the new technology involved in fighting the First World War because "They're the product of American brains" and that Edison would soon invent a device to "fool the German submarine." It also mentions somewhat incongruously that Edison has "got a plan / To help the married man / That he's found how to keep a woman still." Edison himself was an advocate of preparedness and had stated that new technology developed for war would soon be destructive beyond imagining.1 We find six copies in OCLC across different entries. 1 "Thomas Edison in World War I" Thomas Edison National Historical Park New Jersey National Park Service February 26 2015 https://www.nps.gov/edis/learn/historyculture/thomas-edison-in-world-war-i.htm. .

Wrappers worn with several small stains and tears to edges; upper nearly detached with lower margin of verso repaired with ivory tape. Light uniform browning; occasional minor foxing and small stains; signatures loose. Third edition. OCLC 20912723. A compilation of traditional Swiss folk songs and occasional instrumental selections including music for the Alphorn and solo piano compositions many arranged by Ferdinand Fürchtegott Huber. The alphorn was a "wooden trumpet of pastoral communities in the Alps. . The commonest length of the alphorn is about 185 cm in which case its range extends to the 5th or 6th harmonic as quoted by Beethoven at the end of the Pastoral Symphony. . Alphorns were known best as herdsmen's calling instruments serving also in some areas to summon to church and formerly to war. They may also be numinous: among the Mari of Russia the long wooden trumpet is made for the spring festival and afterwards sacrificially burnt or hidden in a sacred place. Overall likeness in making and using alphorns and their distribution suggest that they possibly may have originated among post-Celtic peoples of the Migration Era. There is no firm evidence of prior existence; 'cornu alpinus' in Tacitus is less than proof of a wooden trumpet of which the earliest specimen from the 9th-century Oseberg ship Oslo Vikingskiphuset supports iconographic suggestions that wooden trumpets of moderate size were used as summoning and military instruments in early medieval northern Europe in addition to their pastoral functions." Anthony C. Baines revised by Max Peter Baumann in Grove Music Online. Rossini evoked the Alphorn in his iconic 1829 William Tell Overture. Of great importance to the preservation of the oral heritage of Swiss alpine herders. J. J. Burgdorfer unknown books

1855rif. List3682Philadelphia: Edward L. Walker 142 Chestnut St. above 6th 1855. Folio sheet music pictorial lithographed cover approximately 13.5 × 10.5 inches. Light edge wear and minor toning; very good with a strong impression of the cover illustration. An antebellum piano dance reflecting the plantation imagery that circulated widely in mid-nineteenth-century American popular music. “Cuba Plantation Dance” was composed by Chas. H. Wilson a little-documented composer whose name appears chiefly in connection with this work and issued in Philadelphia during the early 1850s by Edward L. Walker the predecessor firm to the major publishing house Lee & Walker. A copy is recorded in the Levy Collection at Johns Hopkins which dates the publication to 1855. The cover presents a stylized plantation landscape framed by tall stalks of sugar cane with a small central vignette of a dancing Black figure. The use of Cuban plantation imagery reflects contemporary American fascination with the Caribbean sugar economy and with plantation life beyond the United States. During the 1850s Cuba was one of the largest slave societies in the Atlantic world. By the midcentury the island’s sugar plantations relied on hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans and the enslaved population of Cuba was estimated at roughly 400000 people in the 1840s–1850s working primarily in the rapidly expanding sugar industry. Although Spain formally agreed to end the Atlantic slave trade in 1820 illegal importations of enslaved Africans into Cuba continued for decades supplying labor for the island’s plantations well into the 1850s. American publishers frequently borrowed such imagery for plantation-themed dance music marketed to the parlor trade. Pieces labeled “plantation dances” or “Ethiopian dances” formed part of the broader culture of minstrel and plantation entertainment. The title page bears a dedication to “Miss Arabelle Conrad” typical of mid-century sheet music addressed to amateur pianists. Along with the aforementioned copy in the Levy collection we find copies at Michigan and Temple. Edward L. Walker, 142 Chestnut St., above 6th unknown books
