1948Best.-Nr. 144891New York: E.P. Dutton & Company 1948. First edition of this landmark novel from the library of Anais Nin. Octavo original black cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Accompanied by a clipped dedication page that reads "For Anais Nin" boldly signed by Vidal laid in. Gore Vidal and Anais Nin's friendship emerged from their shared commitment to challenging the literary and cultural orthodoxies of mid-twentieth-century America. While Vidal’s incisive social satire and Nin’s lyrical explorations of erotic subjectivity differed in style both writers pursued themes of identity and transgression which created a foundation of mutual admiration. In fine condition. From the library of Anais Nin. An exceptional association linking these two great writers. Stylistically influenced by Hemingway this work "is distinguished by its honesty and lack of self-pity; the central figure is unexceptional in every respect but his sexual choices" Stringer 690. "One of the best novels of its kind. . . . It isnt sentimental and it is frank without trying to be sensational and shocking" Christopher Isherwood. E.P. Dutton & Company hardcover

Williwaw is a quasi-autobiographical novel and its value comprises not merely Vidal's excellent writing but the insight it offers into the author's experiences. E.P. Dutton & Company hardcover

1946Best.-Nr. 16668JNew York: Dutton 1946. First Edition First Printing of the Author’s First Book. With a remarkable extensive signed inscription by Gore Vidal to Dr. William Shelton Gray Jr. written over two pages providing details on the development and history of the novel: “For Bill Gray - Twenty years later; this first and onlyedition was 5000 copies - In time all sold - There has never been a hard-cover reprint - The book was written 1944-45 - Begun aboard F.S. 35 at Chesapeake Bay just before New Year's '44. Finished at East Hampton Shortly after Hiroshima – Gore Vidal Jan 2 - 1967 NYC”. Vidal’s inscriptions in books are notoriously short even to close friends and this book has the longest Vidal inscription we have encountered anywhere. William Gray was the Chairman of the English Department at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland Virginia who edited Tennessee Williams’ only book of poetry In the Winter of Cities and one of W.H. Auden’s last poems “The Aliens” was dedicated to him. Gray met and befriended Vidal through Williams. Hardcover dust jacket octavo 222 pages. The volume is in very good used condition with some rubbing to the cloth edges in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing some aging and light chipping. Williwaw is the term widely thought to be Native American in origin for a sudden violent Katabatic wind common to the Aleutian Islands. The story combines war drama maritime adventure and a murder plot. The book is a World War II novel set on a U.S. ship in the Arctic waters around the Aleutians in the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the local storm season during World War II. The nervousness and tension of the crew and a handful of passengers at the approach of the Williwaw is stretched to breaking point when the Chief Engineer Duval falls overboard in suspicious circumstances.

"English interest in South America flourished after the capture of Buenos Aires by Commodore Sir Home Popham and Colonel Beresford in 1806 .

1820Best.-Nr. 179207London: R. Ackermann 1820. Stunning views of South America First edition a desirable copy with pre-publication watermarks dated 1818 of "the only notable colour plate book in English dealing with the Argentine" Tooley. The hand-painted aquatints offer some of the finest depictions of early 19th-century life customs and architecture in the Río de la Plata region. The English sailor Vidal 1791-1861 joined the Royal Navy in 1808 serving as a purser for the next five decades. The plates in his book were based on drawings he made when he visited South America with HMS Hyacinth in 1816-8 as secretary to the admiral on the South American Station. They constitute "the main source of pictorial information about early Argentina" Speake p. 39 and "possess a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value" Hardie. Some of the scenes included are "Monte Video" "Church of San Domingo" "Beggar on Horseback" "Pampa Indians" "General View of Buenos Ayres from the Plaza de Toros" "Balling Ostriches" "Guachos of Tucman" and "A Horse Race". Vidal depicts the inhabitants of the Pampas and Rio de la Plata Regions outdoor markets and plazas and buildings. "Through E. Vidal's watercolours. you get a sense of the city house facades Vidal never painted any interiors made not of rare stone but of baked adobe bricks called chorizos - sausages" Wilson p. 13. The work was first published in six monthly parts between May and October 1820. The early watermarks here suggest that this volume was possibly bound from the parts rather than from later book-form issues. Ackermann announced 750 small paper and 50 large paper copies. A comparison with the Abbey copy indicates that this example is from the smaller format. Large quarto 325 x 250 mm. With 24 hand-coloured aquatint plates 1 double-page 3 folding. Twentieth-century blue morocco to style spine with raised bands gilt lettering and decoration in compartments covers bordered with blind and gilt frames board edges and turn-ins elaborately gilt grey endpapers edges gilt.

Best.-Nr. 02645London: R. Ackermann 1820. The Great Color-Plate Book of Early Argentina One of Only Fifty Atlas Large-Paper Copies of Ackermann's Magnificent Buenos Ayres and Monte Video VIDAL Emeric Essex. Picturesque Illustrations of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video Consisting of Twenty-Four Views; accompanied with Descriptions of the Scenery and of the Costumes Manners &c. of the Inhabitants of those Cities and their Environs. London: Published by R. Ackermann. Printed by L. Harrison 1820. First edition. One of only fifty Atlas large-paper copies. Atlas quarto 15 5/8 x 12 1/2 inches; 397 x 317 mm. xxviii 115 1 blank pp. Twenty-four magnificent hand-colored aquatint plates including four double-page folding panoramas one incorporating two views. Text and plates watermarked 1818 and 1820. Publisher's original green morocco-grain cloth covers elaborately blocked in blind spine decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt yellow coated endpapers. Very slight wear at the upper joint inner hinges neatly strengthened. Housed in a green cloth slipcase. A beautiful unusually fresh copy. One of the masterpieces of nineteenth-century travel illustration and unquestionably the most important English color-plate book devoted to the Río de la Plata during the formative years of Argentine independence. Issued by Rudolph Ackermann at the height of his publishing career Vidal's Picturesque Illustrations combines superb aquatint engraving with brilliant contemporary hand-coloring to create one of the finest visual records of early nineteenth-century South America. Emeric Essex Vidal served with the Royal Navy in the Río de la Plata between 1816 and 1818 only a few years after the region had broken from Spanish rule. Unlike many travel artists who relied upon second-hand sketches or romantic invention Vidal drew directly from life recording Buenos Aires Montevideo and the surrounding pampas with exceptional accuracy sympathy and artistic accomplishment. His views preserve an emerging nation at a pivotal historical moment before the rapid political and economic transformation of the nineteenth century forever altered its landscape and society. The twenty-four aquatints form an unrivaled pictorial survey of the region. Sweeping panoramas of Buenos Aires and Montevideo are complemented by intimate scenes of daily life: bustling marketplaces churches and public squares gauchos estancias soldiers indigenous peoples horse races ostrich hunts wine mule convoys rural laborers and the famous South Matadero. Together they constitute one of the earliest and most comprehensive ethnographic portraits of Argentina and Uruguay ever published remarkable both for their documentary precision and for their extraordinary artistic beauty. The present copy belongs to the Atlas issue limited to only fifty copies produced on substantially larger paper for the most discerning collectors and institutions. Martin Hardie records that the ordinary edition consisted of 750 copies making the Atlas issue one of the rarest deluxe publications produced by Ackermann. The generous margins dramatically enhance the visual impact of the plates particularly the four spectacular folding panoramas which rank among the finest achievements of the English aquatint tradition. The binding itself appears to represent an unrecorded publisher's variant. Abbey describes only the large-paper issue bound in red cloth whereas the present copy retains its original green morocco-grain cloth decorated with a slightly different spine design omitting the wording "24 Plates Coloured." Such variants are seldom encountered and add further bibliographical interest to an already exceptional copy. Martin Hardie rightly regarded the aquatints as possessing "a subtle charm of their own apart from their historical and geographical value." That judgment has only strengthened with time. Today Vidal's work is recognized not merely as one of Ackermann's greatest travel books but as the definitive visual record of the Río de la Plata in the years immediately following independence - a cornerstone of South American iconography and one of the supreme achievements of the English color-plate book.
