Title: Roll, Jordan, Roll (Signed limited edition)
Author: Ullman, Doris; Julia Peterkin
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: New York: Robert O. Ballou, 1933. First edition. Fine. One of 350 copies (327 for sale) signed by Julia Peterkin and Doris Ullman, with an additional photogravure signed by Ullman. 341 pp. Complete, with all ninety copperplate photogravures and accompanying tissue guards. Publisher's half buff cloth over blindstamped brown paper boards. Spine titled in gilt. Slight bubbling to cloth at spine. Some faint scuffing to boards.

Roll, Jordan, Roll is a photographic account of the Gullah people, the descendants of enslaved Africans living in the coastal areas of the southern United States. Begun in 1929, Ullman's project spanned several years, producing a series of portraits that are "rich in tonal range and unified in soft focus...[and] reveal a distinct photographic account, attuned to the dignity and grace of Gullah people" (MoMA). Roll, Jordan, Roll is now regarded as one of the finest photography books of the twentieth century and is praised for its portrayal of Black subjects as dignified individuals rather than stereotypes. Julia Peterkin, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1929 for her novel Scarlet Sister Mary, provided the text for the book. Fine.

Title: Poems by Robert Bridges
Author: [Fine Binding - Zaehnsdorf]; Robert Bridges
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: London: Basil Montagu Pickering, 1873. First edition. Fine. A Fine copy. Octavo (7 3/8 x 5 inches; 187 x 127 mm.). 9, [3], 125, [3] pp. Printer's Aldine anchor device on final leaf, decorative woodcut headpieces and initials. Bound ca. 1900 by Zaehnsdorf in full dark green morocco, stamp signed in gilt on front turn-in and with the 'blind' exhibition stamp on rear paste-down. Covers with gilt fillet border, inlaid violet morocco frame, central panel of upper cover with inlaid bouquet of five pink morocco flowers on curving gilt stems, this surrounded by an animated frame of gilt latice-work, pointille, and curling vines bearing a gilt blossom in each corner, lower cover with central panel outlined by gilt vines and flowers in similar style, smooth spine with inlaid bar of violet morocco at head and foot, with a volute emitting a spray of leafy branches above and below the central gilt title, double-ruled gilt board edges, gilt turn-ins with similar volutes at either side of drawer-handle corner-pieces, dark green silk endleaves, top edge gilt. Small rectangular bookplate of Joseph Manuel Andreini on front blank. Green cloth chemise housed in a green cloth slipcase. A very fine example of a Zaehnsdorf 'Exhibition' binding. The late-Victorian poet Robert Bridges was driven to create poetry and music that moved the soul. This book is his first book of poetry; which was quickly withdrawn from circulation by Bridges, thus making it quite scare. It includes one of his most famous poems, "Elegy on a Lady Whom Grief for the Death of Her Betrothed Killed." Bridges was still working as a doctor when this volume was published, and it marks the beginning of what would become a significant and acclaimed career. He would become poet laureate in 1917. This is an extremely pretty Exhibition example of the Zaehnsdorf workshop's outstanding craftsmanship. The Austro-Hungarian -born, Joseph Zaehnsdorf (1816-1886) trained with binders in Stuttgart and in Vienna, before moving to Germany, Switzerland, France, and eventually settling London. He worked for various shops before opening his own bindery in 1842. In the face of industrializing production Zaehnsdorf embraced craft and eventually gained recognition for his talent. He was known for his precise finish and elegant design. The firm would continue in his son John William's capable hands; it employed binders like Louis Genth, Roger de Coverly, and Sarah Prideaux. Family run until 1947, it was eventually acquired by Asprey of London in 1983 (Gertz). The present binding combines delicate inlay work with exuberant gilt, demonstrating the expertise of its finishes, led by Genth. Provenance: From the library of Joseph Manuel Andreini (1850-1932), a writer and printmaker, who wrote about etched and engraved book plates as well as about Cuban postage stamps. Fine.
