Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: Frogs and Snakes (Original artwork)
Author: Greenaway, Kate
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: London, 1870. First edition. Original watercolor (8 x 9 in.), sympathetically matted and framed. One of six watercolor designs for Diamonds and Toads (Frederick Warne & Co., 1871), a children's toy book in the Aunt Louisa's Toy Books series. This fantastically vivid and full watercolor drawing from early in Greenaway's career depicts a young woman holding in her right hand a large tankard and looking horrified as two huge frogs and two snakes jump and slither out of her mouth. At the left is an old woman, who, in the story, has cursed the girl to drop snakes from her mouth when she speaks. Greenaway used her sister, Fanny, as a model for the young woman in the illustration. Kate Greenaway (1824 - 1901) was commissioned to illustrate Diamonds and Toads, an entry in the Aunt Louisa's Toy Books series, in 1869. The toy book incorporates six of her illustrations: an "ambitious project" that took her over a year. She earned her "£36 from the color printer, Kronheim, for her watercolor designs" for the book (Engen). It was her first illustrated book and marked the beginning of a long and prolific career as one of the most beloved children's illustrators of the nineteenth century. Diamonds and Toads was first published by Charles Perrault, who initially titled the story "Les Fées" ("The Fairies"). It was also eventually included in Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book (1889). See Spielmann & Layard, pp. 49, 285.

Author: JURINAC, Sena 1921-2011
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: From the Fayer studio in Vienna. Ca. 140 x 90 mm. In German (with translation). Slightly worn. "Although best known early in her career for Mozart, [Jurinac] built up an extensive repertory covering a wide range of parts. She appeared at most of the world's leading opera houses, maturing from roles such as Cherubino, Octavian, Marzelline and Ilia (Idomeneo) to the Countess, the Marschallin, Leonore and Electra. Among her other notable roles were the Composer (Ariadne auf Naxos), the two ladies in Don Giovanni, Elisabeth (Tannhäuser and Don Carlos), Jenůfa, Cio-Cio-San and Tosca, Desdemona, and later Marie (Wozzeck), Poppaea and Iphigenia (Iphigénie en Tauride). Jurinac's voice was beautifully pure, rich and even throughout its range, and although she did not always sound to best advantage in her numerous recordings, the finest of them faithfully convey the integrity, eloquence and commitment that made an unforgettable impression on two generations of opera-lovers. The ardent, youthful singer of the 1940s and 50s grew into the sensitive, reflective artist of the 60s and 70s. Although she appeared frequently as a concert and lieder singer, she will be remembered as one of the outstanding operatic sopranos of her time, generous of voice and radiant of personality. This is reflected in her recordings of Ilia, Marzelline, Leonore and Octavian." Peter Branscombe in Grove Music Online.
