FABLES CHOISES DE FLORIAN

1895Best.-Nr. 830091895. EHON - FAIRY TALES BARBATOU P. FABLES CHOISES DE FLORIAN. The first volume only. Paris: Librairie Marpon & Flammarion; Tokyo: Shueisha Meiji 28 1895. Fukuro toji cord-bound in printed paper covers. This first volume is 26.6 X 19.8 cm with 14 full page color woodcuts by Kano Tomonobu and Kajita Hanko. #167 of 200 from a deluxe edition on Japanese hosho paper. Covers soiled and a bit edgeworn one cvorner chipped. The contents are very good and the impressions and colors are quite lovely. This work despite its French text may be seen as squarely in the tradition of the Japanese ehon and it shares many characteristics of the revival of picture book printing in mid to late Meiji demonstrated by other works: an emerging Nihonga style skilled printed increasingly restrained coloration etc. In that context the large scale of its illustrations renders it particularly interesting. The first volume only of two. unknown

La Fontaine, Jean de; Fermiers General.MareMagnum

CONTES ET NOUVELLES En Vers. [Vol. I only].

1762One volume (of two). pp. xiv, [2], 268, [2], 8 [Directions to the Binder often lacking] + Plus a remarkable group of (40) elegant engravings, including two duplicates and a portrait frontis. Lacks the plate at p. 87. Many fine vignettes. Most of the plates are after Charles-Dominique-Joseph Eisen (1720-1778). 12mo (in 8s). 185 mm. Some age stain, but generally clean. All edges gilt. Attractive contemporary French dark green morocco bindings, with only slight defects. Hardbound. Very Good. First Edition. The world famous tales and fables of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695), neatly printed in verse, are joined by the best work of the great illustrators & engravers Charles Eisen (1720-1778) and Pierre-Philippe Choffard (1730-1809). Justly considered one of the greatest examples of French rococo illustration. The Fermiers Generaux, an entrepreneurial financial association responsible for gathering and banking certain kinds of taxes, commissioned this edition of La Fontaine's zesty tales. Determined that the book should be the best of its kind, they allowed their agent, the Chevalier d'Agincourt, unlimited resources. It is still provocative to consider that patronage of the arts by this new plutocracy produced the greatest monument and triumph of this renowned age of illustration. See: Cohen-de Ricci 558-571; Ray. 'Art of the French Illustrated Book' p. 54-56; Holloway. 'French Rococo Book Illustration' pp. 21-24; & Etc. By offering this one volume we give you an addordable opportunity to acquire part of THE IMMORTAL FERMIERS GENERAL EDITION OF THE . TALES OF LA FONTAINE. Please check our other entries for the full set of this great work in fine condition. CHEST 2/1

Wright, Farnsworth & Long, Frank Belknap ( Weird Tales )Biblio.com

A MOST HISTORIC TYPED LETTER SIGNED dated March 28th 1924 to Frank Belnap long

1924Best.-Nr. 19001TYPED LETTER SIGNED dated March 28th 1924 on RURAL PUBLISHING CORP. stationery to author and famous member of the Lovecraftian Circle Frank Belknap Long about 375 words stating that Long's story THE DESERT LICH has unfortuantely been delayed as it was decided that one man namely Edust-wrapper in Baird could not possibly have the time to be editor for WEIRD TALES DETECTIVE TALES and their new venture GHOST STORIES and thus he "will assume the editorial helm of WEIRD TALES & GHOST STORIES" that he has "read several thousand manuscripts when he was a reader for Baird and that he knows the thrill that comes of discovering a distinctively written story" that he "wishes to use DESERT LICH Long's accepted tale in the combination summer issue for June July & August which we are making triple size and putting out to clear the deck for the issuance of GHOST STORIES" "that their rates are not yet as high he would like them to be and that by summer he hopes we can pay on a pay on acceptance basis" and that "Our rates at present are one cent a word". He finishes with these plaudits for Lovecraft: "Please thank Mr. Lovecraft for me for turning THE DESET LlICH our way. And I want to thank you also for telling me of other Lovecraft stories that I have not yet seen. I would as soon think of changing a line or a word or a title of Mr. Lovecrat's work as I would rewriting an Edgar Allen Poe story. He is to my way of thinking the supreme master of weird tales whose mastery is not accidental but the result of careful and directed thought. So far I have seen Mr. Lovecraft's works only in print for I have not had the thrill of reading them in manuscript. I have not even read HYPNOS but I am looking forward to reading the page proofs of the May Weird Tales which contains the story. But those that I have read in the magazine-----THE HOUND THE RATS IN THE WALL DAGON----are marvels of writercraft." Letters from Wright the acknowledged foremost editor of Weird Tales are notoriously scarce and I know of none earlier. They rarely surface on the market place. Indeed letters with a full strong signature of Wright are rarer still as he was virtually unable to sign anything due to Parkinsons disease by 1930. So here's your chance to snatch a piece of history from one major player in the Golden Age of Science Fiction and Weird Tales specifically to another. The earliest letter I have seen by Farnsworth Wright. N.p. unknown

Contemporary red morocco richly tooled in gilt and blind lettered in gilt 'Tales and stories' to upper board A.E.G. A trifle rubbed and marked. Internally clean and crisp. An attractively bound sammelband of sixteen diminutive chapbooks intended for a juvenile readership. The titles within all illustrated with crude yet charming wood-engravings include staples of the Victorian street literature market; compendious retellings of perennially popular nursery rhymes such as Cinderella Little Red Riding Hood and the Children in the Wood. An exception is a remarkably rare version of a recherché didactic verse curiosity The Waggon Load of Gold. Issued in two seemingly separately published parts; the work is comprised of a total of sixteen unassociated stanzas calculated to amuse the young reader and each - unusually for chapbook fare of the era - accompanied by illustrations which actually relate to the text; for example the opening couplets of the second part a celebration of the library is partnered with a depiction of a bookcase: 'The chief prize of the whole Here you now may behold 'Tis a library of choice books From the Waggon Load of Gold.' OCLC records a single copy of The Waggon Load of Gold. Part II. at Richmond Public Library Virginia Part I. is apparently unrecorded. The copy retains the original publisher's wrappers bearing the imprint 'London: Printed and published at 60 St. Martin's Lane' with the date recorded as '1820'. This would suggest that the other titles contained within this sammelband - all printed on similar paper stock and some reusing woodcut ornaments - where issued contemporaneously from the same location. .
