Description
1901. SAND, George. The Masterpieces of George Sand Now for the First Time Completely Translated into English. Printed Only For Subscribers. Philadelphia: George Barrie & Sons, (1900-02). Twenty volumes. Octavo, publisher's three-quarter dark blue morocco, elaborately gilt-decorated spines, raised bands, top edges gilt. $8800.""Japan Vellum Edition"" of Sand's most famous works, number 42 of only 1000 sets printed on Japan vellum and profusely illustrated with 125 photogravures, each illustration in two states: one in black on India proof paper and mounted, and one in bistre on Japan etching paper (frontispieces finely hand-colored). With an intriguing three-page autograph letter signed by Sand tipped in.Several of the works included are here translated for the first time into English. Many of the author's introductions to first and important later editions are included, as well as a memoir of Sand by J. Alfred Burgan. This exquisite set includes 125 illustrated plates by noted artists of the day, including Adrien Moreau and J.B. Graff. ""French illustration of the Belle Epoque had an international vogue… the most spectacular example of this French influence was the firm of George Barrie and Son of Philadelphia… Robert Barrie scoured Paris in the 1890's to find illustrations for the thousands of plates which his firm employed in its editions"" (Ray, The Art of the French Illustrated Book, 377). The illustrations in each volume are presented in two suites: one ""India proof"" printed in black, mounted on Japanese vellum paper; one on Japanese etching-paper, in bistre; the frontispieces feature the latter state finely hand-colored.The letter, dated in Nohant, June 16, '62, reads, in full: ""Vous avez publié dans l'ami des sciences, un bon et charmant travail sur les formes que s'appellerais primitives et que vous appeles plus exactemens geometriques. Ce travail est il publié en volume avec planches? Si oui, voulez m'en faire expedié une douzaine d'exemplaires en faisant suivre le remboursement pour votre editeur. J'ai une autre grâce a vous demander. Ma jeune belle fille qui est italienne et qui sait plusieurs langues, et qui voudrait traduire en italien des ouvrages utiles à la jeunesse, a pensé a traduire celui-ci. Au cas où elle réaliserais ce project, voulez-vous lui en accordé l'autorisation exclusive? Il vas audire que vos droite seraient réservis comme vous l'entendez. S'il y a ___. La chère enfant ne cherche l'a aucun autre profit pour elle-meme, que la satisfaction d'occuper ses loisirs au service de son pays. Agréez, Madame, avec mes felicitations pour le bon emploi que vous faites de votre coeur et de votre intelligence, l'expression de mes sentimens affectueux, [signed] George Sand."" Translated: ""You have published in the Friend of Science a good and charming work on the forms which would be called primitive and which you call more exactly geometric. Is this work published in volume with plates? If so, please send me a dozen copies and forward reimbursement to your publisher. I have another favor to ask of you. My young daughter-in-law, who is Italian and who knows several languages, and who would like to translate into Italian works useful for young people, thought of translating this one. If she does this project, do you want to give her exclusive permission? He will hear that your rights would be reserved as you see fit. If there is ___. The dear child seeks no other profit for herself than the satisfaction of occupying her leisure time in the service of her country. Accept, Madam, with my congratulations for the good use you make of your heart and your intelligence, the expression of my affectionate feelings, [signed] George Sand."" In this letter Sand is clearly referring to her only daughter, Solage Dudevant, also a writer and novelist. A beautifully illustrated and bound set in fine condition, desirable with a signed Sand letter.

Description
1902. (SLOAN, John; GLACKENS, William; LUKS, George) DE KOCK, Charles Paul. Works. Boston, Paris, London, New York: Frederick J. Quinby, (1902-05). Thirty-three volumes. Octavo, contemporary three-quarter crimson morocco, marbled boards and endpapers, raised bands, spines inlaid with Art Nouveau flower motifs, top edges gilt. $3800.Thirty-three volumes from the Memorial Edition of De Kock's Works, number 250 of 250 sets, illustrated with more than 300 original etchings, aquarelles, photogravures, and reproductions of watercolors and pen-and-ink drawings by John Sloan (32 original etchings), William Glackens (14 original etchings), George Luks (3 original etchings), and others—a number of which are hand-colored—with richly illuminated initials, head- and tail-pieces throughout each volume, beautifully bound by the Harcourt Bindery. ""Joy—such was in fact the gift, marvelous and rare, which was possessed… by the inexhaustible romancer, Charles Paul de Kock… It is through this that he has in his laughter something of the mighty laugh of Rabelais. It is through this that he has in his veins a drop of the blood of Molière"" (Theodore de Banville). In 1902 John Sloan, best known as a painter of the streets of New York, obtained a major commission to create 53 paintings and etchings of ""raucous behavior and silly plot twists"" (Huntington Library) as illustrations for this edition of the comic novels of Charles Paul de Kock. In all, Sloan produced 53 original works for the series. ""The De Kock commission honed Sloan's abilities as an etcher and earned him praise as an illustrator"" (Heather Campbell Coyle). William J. Glackens' early training began at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, along with Sloan, Everett Shinn, George Luks, and Robert Henri, all of whom in 1908 founded the group called ""The Eight,"" later known as the Ashcan School. ""His illustrations, particularly those involving animated crowds of people, exhibit brilliant and expressive draftsmanship, as do a smaller series of etchings of urban subjects"" (Gale Encyclopedia). George Luks studied briefly at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before traveling to Europe to study the Old Masters. Upon his return he found work as an illustrator for the Philadelphia Press before receiving a commission to contribute original artwork to this edition; he also created illustrations for Vanity Fair and The New Yorker. Other artists include Louis Meynell, Elmer Boyd Smith, William Sherman Potts, and Albert de Ford Pitney. ""All the illustrations, etchings, title pages and decorations are original, and were conceived and executed expressly for this work"" (from the publisher's statement in Volume I of Sister Anne). These original artworks are exemplary of the Ashcan School's distinctive style of illustration. This set includes 33 of 50 volumes; full sets of the Works are quite scarce. Original artwork and text clean and fine; bindings near-fine with only some very light rubbing. A lovely production.

Description
New Jersey, n.d.. Very Good. Thin brown paper somewhat unevenly trimmed on sides but generally about 10 x 14 cm. It appears to have been franked in upper right corner by J. C. Ten Eyck, a Republican Senator from New Jersey. The name "B. F. Wade Ohio. is written along bottom edge. Neither Senatorial frank seems exactly like the signatures for those Senators found online. The recip[ient. Rev. Hale, who graduated from Williams College in 1831 and later from Princeton Theological Seminary was pastor of a Presbyterian Church in Pennington, N.J. The Fort Pillow Massacre, so-called in the North, which occurred in 1864 involved the death of almost 300 Union soldiers, about two thirds of whom were African American. Many of the dead were shot after they had surrendered. The Confederate forces were led by General Nathan Bedford Forrest. The report was published in quantity by the U.S Government. We do not think that we have seen this partial stamped envelope or wrapping before.
