4to. [19 x 13], (2) ff., 132 pp., 112 (ie 214) (1) f., with one large [49.5 x 34.5] engraved plate of the catafalque signed Camacho after Bexerano 1759, and two woodcut plates of calligrams;[Including:] TAGLE Y BRACHO, Juan Antonio de. Oracion Funebre. (12) ff., 136 (ie 138) pp. Bound in contemporary calf, joints cracked but sound. Some minor staining at extreme edge of title. Plate toned but very fresh, as is rest of copy. Excellent.Rare first edition of the funeral-book of Maria Barbara of Portugal, Queen-consort of Spain and wife of Ferdinand VI, with a large folding plate of her catafalque. As with many books of exequies for European monarchs printed in America, the volume appeared over a year after the Queen's death in Madrid in August 1758, subsequent to her funeral exequies held at the Cathedral of Lima on 4 September 1759.The volume's folding engraving depicts a four-tier catafalque with six pairs of Ionic columns and eight obelisks, of which the four largest are crowned by the arms of the Spanish monarchy: a castle tower and a lion with its paws resting on twin globes. The Queen's casket is shown on a dias in the center of the monument, surrounded by elaborately wrought candelabra and scrollwork—a visible testament to French rococo influence in the court of Spain during the mid-18th C. Below the catafalque are the signatures of its engraver Camacho and its designer and builder, the architect Antonio Bejarano Loayza; a year after Ferdinand VI died in 1759, heartbroken and distraught, Loayza designed his catafalque as well.Among the work's gathering of dedicatory and elegiac verse—sonnets, decasyllables, octavas, décimas, romances, acrostics and other forms popular in Perú at the time—of special note are two unusual folded woodcuts presenting a large, diamond-shaped acrostic, and a self-described "eccentric labyrinth" of décimas in the shape of a spiraling horn. The volume is bound with a separately-titled copy of the funeral oration.OCLC: Indiana, Duke, Yale.*Lilly on-line record; Medina 1162; Vargas Ugarte 1818 Palau 143,659 (lacking first section); Watanabe 2452; Pouncey, "Túmulos of Colonial Perú," The Art Bulletin, v. 67 #1 (March 1985), pp. 18-32.

New York: Random House, 1954 Signed limited edition. One of 1000 numbered copies signed by Faulkner, this being number 996. Publisher's dark blue cloth, with beveled edges, three crosses double stamped in white and blue to the front board, spine lettered in white and gilt, midnight blue topstain, and blue-gray endpapers; in the original tissue dust jacket; in the original blue-gray labeled paper slipcase. Fine book; about fine tissue jacket, with light edgewear and a touch of toning to spine; very good slipcase, with heavy spotting to spine, top edge, and panel margins, and some light nicks to label. Overall, a beautiful and complete copy of the author's Pulitzer Prize winning novel. Petersen A37.2a. Written over the course of nine years from December 1944 through November 1953, A Fable is, as Random House proclaims, "The crowning achievement of William Faulkner's distinguished career." Partly based on the author's experience as a pilot during World War I, the plot is set in the trenches of France. The story takes place over the course of seven days and examines the internal conflicts each man must go through, a point which is emphasized by the parallels Faulkner draws between Corporal Stephan's struggles and the week-long Passion of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. A Fable won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award.. Signed. Limited. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

France, c. 1916-1933. Hardcover. Near Fine. Mottled black cloth over boards, backed in black morocco; oblong 8vo, approx. 8 x 7 inches; pp. 25, with 200 sepia and b/w photographs (silver gelatins and albumens). A little scuffed along spine and edges of boards, else fine. A unique and seemingly homemade family album, containing group portraits and landscape photographs -- cute candid photographs of fat babies in little kitchen pots, women laughing and smoking, people swimming, and in one instance a woman in a fashionable get-up of the times, reclining in the outdoors (a much more conservative version of Manet's earlier controversial painting "Dejeuner sur l'herbe" from 1863). A few albumens a bit faded; some faint silvering on a few of the gelatins, but prettily so.

Near Fine in Very Good dj
Description
New York: Grosset & Dunlap. [1932] (c1896, 1924). First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dj. [nice clean book with the faintest touch of shelfwear, vintage retailer's small label (Elder's) on rear pastedown; the jacket is bright and attractive, despite some edgewear, a few tiny tears and small bits of paper loss at the extremities, and a small but unsightly brown stain near the top of the rear panel (with a few tiny holes in the jacket at that point, probably as an unintended result of someone's attempt to remove the stain)]. (photographic endpapers) "Against a background of depravity, vice, intrigue and cruelty in Nero's court is laid this story of the pure love of a Christian girl and a Roman soldier. It is a thrilling, gripping romance of ancient Rome" that Cecil B. DeMille turned into a sprawling, gaudy epic of pre-Code Hollywood, with Fredric March and Elissa Landi as the pure lovers, but with Charles Laughton and Claudette Colbert stealing the show as the Emperor Nero and the asses'-milk-bathing Empress Poppaea. Orginally an enormously successful play in 1895, it was previously filmed by the Famous Players Film Company in 1914. I'm unclear when this particular novelized version was actually written, and by whom (playwright Barrett died in 1904); the book at hand also bears a 1924 copyright notice, attributed to Alfred William and Frank Andrew Barrett, his two sons. In keeping with common practice for early-Depression-era photoplay editions, the illustrations here are confined to the endpapers, rather than being bound in to the text as they generally were during the silent-film years. .
