Description
28 folding engraved plates. 74; 86; 60; 35 folding leaves. Four vols. Oblong 8vo, orig. patterned wrappers, orig. block-printed title labels on upper covers, new stitching. Tokyo: Government Publication issued under the Author’s name [Yosoda Masayoshi, a pen name for Tanabe], 1869. First edition in Japanese, translated from an unidentified French text, which, according to the Preface, was issued in 1863, with a sequel in 1867. Tanabe also states that this work includes information gained from the French military mission of 17 men (four officers, ten non-commissioned officers, and two soldiers, led by staff captain Charles Sulpice Jules Chanoine), who came to Japan in early 1867 at the request of the Japanese Shogunate for training in Western warfare. Several of these men became deeply involved in Japanese politics, unsuccessfully fighting on the side of the Shogunate. Tanabe wrote several works on military subjects, including military formations (1865), a glossary of French military terms with Japanese translations (1867), military gymnastics and training exercises (1868), and our work. This is a complete work on infantry drills and tactics, including training of new soldiers, how to form tactical units and deploy them effectively, how to operate a variety of weapons, etc. The fine copper-engraved plates depict military formations, tactical positions, military stances, etc. Fine set.

Description
N.p.: N.p., 1948. Carbon typescript copy of the play, "An American Tragedy," with spirit-duplication copies of the plays, "Hippolytus" and "The Critic" bound in. Working copies belonging to actor Wesley Lau, with pencil annotations of Lau's name and the plays' titles on the front wrapper, and manuscript marker annotations of "W. Lau" on the top left of the title page as well as listed in the annotations of actors' names adjacent to the character list on the title page, with manuscript pencil and marker annotations throughout all three by Lau. The working copy of the three plays found here are all from July 1948 Beloit College (Beloit, Wisconsin) performances of the three plays, which Lau, while on summer vacation from Yale Drama School, performed in during the college's summer theatre workshop. Lau played the lead, Claude Griffiths, in Erwin Piscator and Lena Goldschmidt's 1932 adaptation of the the 1925 Theodore Dreiser novel, Theseus in Euripide's "Hippolytus," and Plagiary in the 1779 satire "The Critic" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (noted as "acting version" by Beloit College theatre director and designer Kirk Denmark). Beloit's 1948 summer season, including the "successful" production of "An American Tragedy" and upcoming performances including "Hippolytus" and "The Critic," were the subject of a July 13, 1948 article, "Janesville Student has Role in Next Beloit College Play," in the Janesville Daily Gazette, which notes that director Denmark was assisted in the productions by "Wesley Lau of Yale University." Noted character actor, Wesley Lau received a Masters of Arts degree from Yale Drama School and studied at The Actors Studio in New York with the intention of becoming a playwright, having taken up acting only after finding more work as an actor than a playwright. Lau is best known for his 81 performances as Lt. Andy Anderson in the 1957-1966 CBS television series "Perry Mason," but made memorable appearances in numerous television series including, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1958-1959), "Peter Gunn" (1959-1960), "Gunsmoke" (1959-1960), "Bonanza" (1960 and 1966), "The Twilight Zone" (1961-1962), "The Big Valley" (1965), "Mission: Impossible" (1969-1972), and "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1975), among many others, as well as appearing in the films "The Alamo" (1960), "The Venetian Affair" (1967), and "Panic in the City" (1968). An American Tragedy: Green untitled wrappers.

Carbon typescript copy, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound internally with three silver brads. Hippolytus: Bound in following "An American Tragedy."

Description
Mill Valley, California: Sunflower Press, [1994]. One of twenty-five deluxe copies specially bound by D'Ambrosio (in a total edition of sixty). Also signed by Cunningham on the colophon and by D'Ambrosio on the lower pastedown. Specially bound by Joseph D'Ambrosio in quarter white Masonic sheep over white cloth boards hand-shaped to resemble wings. In the original orange cloth clamshell case, with the original prospectus. . 6 in. x 10 in. . With twenty-one illustrations by Gene Holtan: frontispiece, ten mounted full-page illustrations, and ten large vignettes. Printed by Carol Cunningham in handset Centaur, Arrighi, and Mistral types on Shadowmould paper. A fine copy inscribed by Carol Cunningham to scholar Henry Snyder. In his Memoir of Book Design D'Ambrosio writes: "[Muses is] I believe the first larger book that Carol did…This was not an easy book for Carol to produce. The information about the Greek Muses seemed to be scattered everywhere. So, complete with all the information in one volume, this book belongs in every research library in the country as a reference work. The illustration of each Muse, done by Gene Holtan in the lighthearted and satirical style of Arthur Rackham, adds to the delight of this entire work…. The binding is another matter…Every facet of the design had to convey the lyrical lightness conveyed by the concept of the Muses," (pp. 157-157) Joseph D'Ambrosio (1934 – 2009) printed, bound, typeset, and illustrated hundreds of artist's books, broadsides, posters, art prints, and other material over the course of his career. Some of his other publications in striking bindings include editions of Olympe and Henriette by Villiers de l'Isle-Adam (1992) and Al Aaraaf by Poe (1995).
