Description
London: np, 1963. First edition. Very Good. Vintage 8x10 glossy photograph by Dezo Hoffmann from 1963, SIGNED BY ALL FOUR BEATLES. The image is one of several taken by the Czech-born photographer Dezo Hoffmann on July 2, 1963 – the day after the band recorded She Loves You / I’ll Get You. Hoffmann met The Beatles in 1962 and, as the first professional photographer they hired, played a pivotal role in documenting their early years. Hoffmann preferred photographs that showed the members of the band in candid, spontaneous, or unguarded moments, both on and off the stage, and consequently his photos made the public feel like they connected with and knew the band on a more intimate level. His timing was perfect: he helped shape the image of The Beatles just as their popularity began to grow. In this photo, The Beatles are posing together in the gardens of London’s Russell Square. It is signed on the back “To Carol, love” and then the signatures of the band members in full: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Star. (The “To Carol, love” appears to be in McCartney’s hand.) The McCartney, Harrison, and Lennon signatures are very strong, in deep black ink, while Ringo Starr’s signature (signed with a different pen) has faded (but is still legible). Size: 8x10 inches. London: 1963. Some light creases, visible mainly in raking light; Ringo signature with fading (as noted above). Housed in custom presentation folder. A important signed image at a critical moment in the history of The Beatles.

Description
Ruled paper, 8 columns per page (or panel). Manuscript in orihon (accordion) format. One full-page diagram. Small 4to (179 x 160 mm.), orig. silk brocade over limp boards, gold front endpaper. [Japan]: on final leaf: 1615, but this is probably a slightly later copy. Manuscript album with incantations and instructions for the Shinto “ritual of the original source” (sōgen gyōbō 宗源行法) by Shinryūin Bonshun (1553-1632), a major religious figure at a pivotal moment in Japanese history. The “ritual of the original source” was one of the major ritual cycles of so-called Yoshida Shinto, a religious movement named after its founder, Yoshida Kanemoto 吉田兼倶 (1435-1511). Yoshida contributed to establishing Shinto as a religious system on a par with other intellectual currents then present in Japan. However, in the Shinto rituals of his school, as exhibited in our manuscript, the Japanese belief in kami remained intertwined with Chinese yin and yang cosmology as well as Buddhism. Shinryūin Bonshun was trained as a Buddhist monk. The temple that he directed, “the kami shrine temple of Toyo Province” (Toyokuni jingūji 豊国神宮寺) — today’s Toyokuni Shrine in Kyoto — reflected this syncretism (“temple” being a Buddhist institution). Our album was written at a critical moment in the history of this temple and, indeed, of Japan. After the Japanese warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in 1598, Bonshun was involved in enshrining him in the new temple. However, after the destruction of the Toyotomi clan at the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1615, the temple was ordered destroyed, and its buildings were left to dilapidate. Ieyasu’s siege of the Toyotomis’ Osaka Castle began on the 26th day of the fourth month of 1615. The Preface to our manuscript is dated just two days later, on the 28th. Osaka fell early in the following month, and the days of Bonshun’s temple were numbered. This ritual manual promises to give insight into religious practice at this important temple on the eve of its demise. The classical Chinese text contains Japanese reading marks and glosses in red. Final two leaves with dampstaining. References Scheid, Bernhard. Der Eine und Einzige Weg der Götter: Yoshida Kanetomo und die Erfindung des Shinto.

Description
128 pp. 8vo, cont. tree sheep (some browning due to the quality of the paper), red morocco lettering piece on spine. Alexandria: Printed by Cottom & Stewart, 1803. First collected edition and a very nice copy. The Young and Sinclair letters were originally published separately in 1801 and 1800, respectively. This is the first edition to contain both, published in Virginia within a few years of Washington’s death. These letters offer perhaps the best picture from his own pen of Washington as an agriculturist and plantation owner, seeking to improve both his own lands and those of his country through this correspondence with two of the leading British agricultural theorists. Fine copy. Stamp of the George Sverdrup Library, Augsburg College on paste-down endpapers. ❧ Church 1296. Howes W138.
