Description
1933. First Edition. Signed. ULMANN, Doris and PETERKIN, Julia. Roll, Jordan, Roll. New York: Robert O. Ballou, (1933). Large quarto, original gilt-lettered three-quarter linen, brown paper-covered boards with imprinted image of an African-American woman on the front cover, top edge gilt, uncut. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $25,000.Signed limited first edition, number 115 only 350 copies (327 of which were offered for sale) signed by both photographer Doris Ulmann and writer of the text Julia Peterkin. With 90 superb tissue-guarded full-page copperplate hand-pulled photogravure plates—this copy with the scarce extra photogravure plate signed in pencil by Ulmann laid in.""Ulmann's photographic collaboration with Julia Peterkin… focuses on the lives of former slaves and their descendants on a plantation in the Gullah coastal region of South Carolina… Peterkin, a popular novelist who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1929, was born in South Carolina and raised by a black nursemaid who taught her the Gullah dialect before she learned standard English. She married the heir to Lang Syne, one of the state's richest plantations, which became the setting for Roll, Jordan, Roll… Ulmann's soft-focus photos—rendered as tactile as charcoal drawings in the superb gravure reproductions here—straddle Pictorialism and Modernism even as they appear to dissolve into memory"" (Roth). This deluxe edition should not be confused with the trade edition which was issued in a significantly smaller format and with fewer plates which were printed in half-tone as opposed to photogravure. The extra signed photogravure plate that was issued only with this deluxe edition replicates the image that appears opposite page 28. Few copies of this deluxe edition had been distributed at the time of Ulmann's death in 1934; most were donated by her heirs to the Tuskegee Institute to be sold for that school's benefit. Without scarce original slipcase. Plates and text fine, minor foxing and staining to boards. A nearly fine copy of this beautiful work.

Description
New York, 1982. First Edition. Very good +.. Arguably the most important document to emerge from the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E movement, Andrews and Bernstein's journal published some 16 issues (13 issues proper, plus various supplements, as well as a final volume issued as OPEN LETTER, Fifth Series No, 1) from 1978 through 1982. With its austere production and design (by Bernstein's wife Susan Laufer/Bee), in many ways the clearest expression of the aesthetic and the moment the movement fully matured. Contributors include: Lyn Hejinian, Ray DiPalma, Larry Eigner, Bob Perelman, Ron Silliman, Kathy Acker, Rae Armantrout, Jackson Mac Low, Bernadette Mayer, Rosemary Waldrop, Douglas Messerli, Dick Higgins, Clark Coolidge, Jerome Rothenberg, Barrett Watten, Susan Howe, among many others. With fewer than 200 copies printed for each of the earliest issues, complete runs are quite uncommon. [Clay and Phillips 235]. Wraps. First 16 issues large 8vo. printed stapled self-wrappers. Final volume, 8vo. perfect bound printed stuff wraps. Offset printed. Generally very good overall with some toning.
