Marge inférieure gauche on lit Ger. Audran sculpt 1672. Gravé par Ger. Audran sur le tableau de M. Le Brun premier peintre du Roy. Le tableau est dans le cabinet de sa Majesté. Il a 16 pieds de hault sur 30 pieds de long. Marge inférieure et pliures renforcées, avec traces de mouillures, plus visibles au verso. Belle épreuve bien contrastée, sur vélin fort RARE« Alexandre traversant le Granique à la tête de son armée en vue des milliers d’hommes de cavalerie et d’infanterie qui couvraient le rivage opposé, parut le premier à l’autre bord. Les ennemis se précipitèrent sur lui et sur ceux qui l’avaient suivi, sans leur laisser le loisir de se mettre en bataille. Alexandre fut d’abord frappé d’un javelot qui ne traversa pas sa cuirasse. Deux capitaines Perses : Roesaces et Spithridates l’attrapèrent à la fois, s’apprêtant à lui fendre la tête d’un coup de hache, lorsque Clytus détourna le coup fatal et le tua. Alexandre, l’épée à la main, vient frapper Roesaces derrière Clytus, armé d’une hache par le coup que Spithridates va asséner sur le casque d’Alexandre. On aperçoit dans le fond l’armée Macédonienne qui traverse le fleuve à gué »

1930ref. 304924Los Angeles: Solomon Hodes 1930. Softcover. Near Fine. Modern portfolio with 30 loosely inserted mounted platinum prints and a mounted hand-lettered title page "Photographic Sketches by Sol Hodes". Affixed to the title page is the cover of a small photographic periodical The Developer of the Los Angeles Camera Club dated in 1928 with a clipping presumably from this issue mentioning Hodes in an account of a photography expedition of the Club to Malibu Lake. The images vary in size but are all relatively large most being approximately 7.5" x 9.5". Most are captioned below the image a couple are captioned within the image. The images show a fair amount of talent and the subjects are various: bewitching costumed or semi-costumed women bucolic landscapes prosaic studies of gnarled older gentlemen buildings and cityscapes etc. All are very much of the period. We can find little about Hodes beyond the bare mention of his existence and that he was born in Russia in 1880 and immigrated to the U.S. around 1916. A complete list of images is available upon request. Solomon Hodes unknown

ref. CNAP067San Francisco: The Arion Press 2003. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. LeWitt Sol. Square 10 7/8" by 10" 128 unnumbered pages. The type is 24-point Deepdene handset with smaller sizes in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris for subsidiary matter. The drawings were scanned to make negatives for photopolymer plates. The paper is Pescia a mould-made sheet from the Magnani mill in Italy. The binding done in-house is hand-sewn in full gray cloth printed by letterpress with a design that is an enlarged reference to elements in the artist's drawings and titled on the front back and spine. The volume is enclosed in a darker gray cloth slipcase that features the same front and spine titling as on the book. The volume is signed by both the poet and the artist. This was the first of two volumes of Heaney's poetry published by Arion Press the second being "Stone From Delphi" 2012. Seamus Heaney 1939-2013 was lecturing at the University of California Berkeley in 1999. Through Helen Vendler we invited him to come to San Francisco to visit Arion Press and have lunch with us on South Park. On February 9 he arrived bearing a present a copy of the manuscript of a translation he had just made of a Pushkin poem about the legendary poet Arion who in Ovid's "Metamorphoses" is saved from the sea by a dolphin. We printed the poem as a keepsake for Arion subscribers in 2002. Hoyem proposed to Heaney that Arion Press publish a deluxe limited edition of his forthcoming translation of "Beowulf" with facing Old English. His publishers Faber & Faber and Farrar Straus & Giroux had intended to use only the translation. Heaney took the idea back to his publishers and they agreed to add the Old English text which obviated the rationale for the limited edition. Vendler prevailed upon Heaney to allow us to instead produce a limited edition of his most important series of poems "Squarings". Hoyem approached Sol LeWitt 1928-2007 to do four prints for the four sections of twelve poems each. Instead the artist offered to do forty-eight drawings one for each of the poems as squares with underlying patterns and overlying scribbles.

1930ref. 5130Lovedale South Africa: Lovedale Press. 1930 1930. First edition. 8vo. 185x120mm. pp. 12 225 1bl. Green cloth lettered in gilt to upper cover and spine. Original illustrated dustjacked chipped and a little torn along top and bottom edges but overall very good and rare in any condition. Internally there is some foxing. An excellent copy in the scarce dustjacket of an important work of African fiction and one of the earliest attempts by an African writer to give an account of pre-colonial Africa and the first novel in English by a black South African. Sol Plaatje 1876-1932 took his name from the Boer family who employed his family on their farm. A brilliant student Plaatje mastered seven languages including Dutch and English which gave him the right to vote although this would be taken away when the new Union of South Africa was created. Throughout his life Plaatje was a leading figure in the struggle for black liberation and was a founder member and first General Secretary of what would become the ANC. Plaatje wrote Mhudi in 1919 although it would take him eleven years to get it published. During this long gestation the book was revised and altered some critics suggesting that it went through a process of censorship and bowdlerization. Whether or not that is so is a matter of scholarly dispute but what is not in doubt is that this novel now firmly established in the African canon represents a brave and early attempt to preserve and regenerate native South African tradition in the face of colonialism.
