Description
London: Privately printed [by the Chiswick Press] for Beatrice Lowry and Her Friends, Minneapolis, 1910. ONE OF 100 COPIES (according to Howes). 215 x 147 mm. (8 1/2 x 5 7/8"). 31, [1] pp., [1] leaf (colophon). With a foreword by Mrs. Lowry. PLEASING EMERALD GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT IN AN ARTS & CRAFTS STYLE, BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE (stamp-signed on rear turn-in), upper cover framed by multiple rules, entwined heart and trefoil tooling at corners, gilt lettering accented with floral tool above and below the central panel, which has three dots at each corner, raised bands, spine in gilt-ruled compartments, gilt titling, gilt-ruled turn-ins, pale green endpapers, top edge gilt. In contemporary green cloth drop-front box lined with felt. With a frontispiece portrait of Lowry. Howes L-541. Trivial offsetting to free endleaves from turn-ins, a couple of tiny spots of foxing, otherwise in nearly pristine condition, with no signs of use inside or out. This is an exceptionally well-preserved copy of a work that was specially compiled, printed, and bound to honor the memory of both the author and the subject. Prominent Minneapolis attorney, businessman, and philanthropist Thomas Lowry (1843-1909) grew up in Illinois, and Lincoln had assisted his father with several legal matters when he was practicing law. Young Lowry attended all of the Lincoln-Douglas debates and became a devoted admirer of the man who would go on to preserve the Union. After a successful career that included establishing the street car system in Minneapolis, Lowry contracted tuberculosis and spent the last four years of his life as an invalid. With excess time on his hands, he began writing down his memories of Lincoln, in a "fragmentary manner," as Mrs. Lowry explains in the preface. After her husband's death, Beatrice Goodrich Lowry (1854-1915) compiled these memories and some Lincoln letters in her husband's effects into the present volume, which she had printed and bound to distribute to her husband's friends. Edmund Brooks, a Minneapolis bookseller who specialized in fine bindings, helped her to arrange for printing by the esteemed Chiswick Press and binding by the one of the most eminent English workshops of the day, Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe met as boys attending Douglas Cockerell's bookbinding classes at the L. C. C. Central School. Cockerell was so impressed by their skill that he hired Sutcliffe as a finisher and Sangorski as a forwarder. In 1901, Francis and George went into business for themselves, and before long, they had become two of the most renowned English binders of the 20th century. Preserved over the years in its clamshell box, our binding looks virtually the same as it did the day it left the bindery. Copies of this work do appear on the market, but their condition is seldom as good as seen here..

Description
San Francisco: Adrian Wilson, 1984. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Killion, Tom. One of 226 copies, elephant folio size, 25 pp., inscribed by Everson to Michael Neilson and signed at the colophon by William Everson, Tom Killion, and Adrian Wilson. William Everson (1912-1994), also known as Brother Antoninus, a name he adopted during his sixteen years serving as a Dominican monk, is considered an essential force of the San Francisco literary Renaissance that would become the Beat movement. Everson's poetry is deeply autobiographical and inspired by the California landscape; he is known for his observations of both the beauty and violence of the natural world as it clashes with man's progress. "In Medias Res" is the first canto of an autobiographical poem (which was never completed), printed by Adrian Wilson (1923-1988), who ran The Press in Tuscany Alley. Although he and Everson had kept in "close printerly contact" as they both worked as printers in the San Francisco Bay Area, this publication is their first full collaboration (n. b., quote from Everson's Note in the book). This volume contains woodcuts by American artist and author Tom Killion (b. 1953), whose illustrations display exquisite detail of line and shape; Killion learned printmaking and bookbinding from Jack Stauffacher of the Greenwood Press, another prominent printer in the Bay Area. The book inscribed by Everson on the half-title page "for Michael Neilson / with best wishes / William Everson / Oct. 26, 1986 / San Francisco"; Neilson had been at the time with the San Francisco Post. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter blue leather with natural linen boards, leather inset with gilt illustration of the ouroboros on the front board, gilt lettering on the spine, all edges uncut, frontispiece a woodcut by Tom Killion, inscribed by Everson on the half-title (as set forth above) in sepia ink, title page in blue and black, woodcut of the ouroboros by Tom Killion on the first page of sectional title page; Centaur and Arrighi types, handmade paper by Barcham Green & Company, elephant folio size (16" by 10 1/2"), pagination: [1-6] 7-24 [1 colophon], No. 124 of 226 copies, signed by William Everson, Tom Killion, and Adrian Wilson on the colophon. ___CONDITION: Overall a fine copy; the leather shelfback and onlay smooth and supple, the linen covers clean, the corners unrubbed, the binding tight with solid hinges, the interior clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a hint of wear to the head and tail of the spine, else fine, with the leather shelfback very slightly sunned. ___POSTAGE:  Please note that due to size additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
