Title: Tout ce Qu'on Voudra [As you like it]
Author: DAUMIER, Honoré
Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Paris: Chez Aubert & cie., 1847. Honoré Daumier's 'As You Like It' DAUMIER, Honoré. Tout ce Qu'on Voudra (As you like it). Paris: Chez Aubert & cie., [1847]. Folio ( 13 1/4 x 9 7/8 inches; 336 x 251 mm.). Nineteen fine lithograph plates of which seventeen are hand colored and heightened with gum arabic. Publisher's dark blue diaper-grain cloth, covers ruled in blind, front cover decoratively lettered in gilt, smooth spine. This remarkably rare album, containing the first nineteen plates of the series Tout ce Qu'on Voudra, essentially constitutes a publisher's "sampler" or early issue collection, with the added distinction that seventeen are hand-colored and heightened with gum arabic-a luxury not typically afforded to ordinary subscribers. (Plate numbers 2 and 18 are uncolored). Near fine. This series comprises a broad range of social types and caricatured scenes drawn from Parisian life. Rather than focusing on a single theme, like Daumier's earlier series on lawyers (Les Gens de Justice) or doctors (Médecins et Malades), Tout ce qu'on voudra is a free-ranging collection in the spirit of improvisation-satirizing bourgeois manners, social pretensions, urban spectacles, and eccentric characters. It is sometimes considered a late echo of his Types Parisiens and other physiologie-inspired work. "Tout ce Qu'on Voudra. (As you like it). This series consists of 94 lithographs published between March 28,1847 and November 30, 1852 in the Charivari. Some of the plates carry no numbers. We are adding another 4 unpublished prints (DR 1717 to 1720) which might have belonged to this series. Similar to the series "Les bons bourgeois" the prints of the present series are dealing with numerous small misfortunes in the life of the Parisians. They were especially impressed by the possibilities opened by the railroad. Travels to the surroundings and the French province were both exciting and startling experiences. Apart from these drawings, this series also offers beautiful observations like the elderly couple remembering youth; memories and transience with a pensive humour, and never offending." (The Daumier Register). According to the Daumier Register and OCLC/WorldCat, institutions typically only hold odd prints from this series, not publisher's albums. Daumier Register Nos. 1647-1665.

Author: Stillé, Charles J.
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: Philadelphia: U. S. Sanitary Commission, 1864. Stillé, Charles J. (1819-99). Memorial of the Great Central Fair for the U. S. Sanitary Commission, held at Philadelphia, June 1864. 211pp. 3 albumen photographs by Robert Newell mounted on inserted plate leaves. Philadelphia: United States Sanitary Commission, 1864. Original gold-stamped cloth, light wear at extremities and corners, spine a bit dulled. Fine. First Edition. Philadelphia's Great Central Fair, held at Logan Square from June 7 to June 28, 1864, was the largest and most successful of the "sanitary fairs" held to raise funds for the U. S. Sanitary Commission, a volunteer organization founded at the beginning of the Civil War to provide medical care for Union soldiers. "In final form the fair had close to a hundred departments and booths offering a broad range of appeal: Arms and Trophies, Children's Clothing, Horse Shoe Machine, Fancy Articles (homemade), Turkish Divan for Smokers, Fine Arts, Brewers, Wax Fruit, Trimmings and Lingerie, Button-Riveter, Horticulture, Art Gallery, Umbrellas and Canes, Curiosities and Relics, and Steam Glass Blower . . . "The structures housing these wonders were no less spectacular than the contents. Built in just forty working days by volunteer craftsmen, the 200,000-square-foot complex featured Union Avenue, a 540-foot-long, flag-festooned central hall over which soared Gothic arches. The Avenue was flanked by rotundas to the south and north and other outbuildings, all interconnected by bustling exhibit corridors. Presiding over the entire Fair site was the Stars and Stripes, unfurled on a 216-foot flagpole" (Bryan). The book's three photographs depict the entire fair complex from a high vantage point, the 540-foot long central hall with Gothic arches, and the elaborate 40-inch high solid silver "Union Vase" incorporating figures of Liberty and the American eagle.

Condition: Very Good+ in Good dj
Description: Hollywood CA: Murray & Gee, Inc.. Very Good+ in Good dj. (c.1948). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [solid copy, lightly shelfworn with slight bumping to lower corners; the jacket is a bit raggedy around the top of the spine, with modest wear along the top and bottom edges and small tears at several corners, including a short diagonal tears at the upper left and lower right corners of the front panel]. (B&W photographs) A colorful and engaging book about one of that special breed of Hollywood he-man directors -- "not a biography, but an engrossing narrative revealing 'behind scenes' passages" in the life of Woodbridge Strong Van Dyke II, aka W.S. Van Dyke II, aka Woody Van Dyke, aka "One-Take Woody," who ground out MGM classics at the rate of five or six a year throughout the 1930s, some of them pure sausage but also including classics like TRADER HORN, TARZAN THE APE MAN, THE THIN MAN, MARIE ANTOINETTE, and a whole slew of Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy musicals. The book, apparently begun by his "intimate friend" Cannom while Van Dyke was still alive, wasn't published until five years after his suicide (due to ill health) in 1943, at the age of 53. Per the jacket blurb, the book was completed "with the continuous and encouraging support of Laura Winston Van Dyke," Woody's mother (who thoughtfully retained the copyright). Foreword by Adela Rogers St. Johns. .
