Title: Verses (Presentation copy)
Author: Rossetti, Christina G.
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: London: G. Polidori's, 1847. First edition. Fine. A Fine copy, inscribed on front blank "E.H. Polidori / from Christina Rossetti / July 1847." Small octavo (6 1/4 x 3 7/8 inches; 159 x 98 mm.). [iv], 66, [2, blank] pp. Page 55-56 are in the corrected state: dated 1847 at the end; stanza 5, line 1 reads "And now that thou art gone"; stanza 5, line 3 reads "And see the clouds"; stanza 6, line 1 reads '"Yes, oftentimes I sit beneath it now"; stanza 8, lines 1-2 have quotation marks; stanza 8, line 1 ends with a semi-colon. A superb exhibition binding by Zaehnsdorf ca. 1900. Full green morocco, covers with an elaborate floral decoration in gilt with red morocco inlays. Spine with five raised bands elaborately gilt with red morocco floral inlays and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt-ruled board edges, decorative gilt turn-ins, tan morocco liners and endleaves, all edges gilt. Joints expertly and invisibly repaired. Publishers blue patterned cloth wrappers bound in. With the engraved bookplate of Charles Plumptre Johnson on verso of front endpaper and the armorial bookplate of Dr. Samuel L. Sieger on first blank leaf. Housed in a full dark green morocco clamshell case, spine with five raised bands decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments. A spectacular rare first edition in a beautiful 'Exhibition' binding of Christina Rossetti's first book. Printed by her grandfather Gaetano Polidori's private press in Park Village East near Regent's Park when the author was just sixteen years old, the delicate book contains 42 poems, two of which are in Italian. It includes the first poem Rossetti ever wrote-a birthday present for her mother-as well as the poems The Dead City and The Water Spirit's Song, and several centered around the rose, the author's personal emblem (Marsh, Hayward). A highly important and delightful example of a young poet's talent foreshadowing her creative career to come. This volume was presented to Eliza Harriet Polidori (1809-1893), Christina Rossetti's maternal aunt, a brave woman who worked as one of Florence Nightingale's nurses in the Crimean War and "managed the stores at the Barrack Hospital at Scutari" where injured soldiers were brought from battle to be treated (Bostridge). Christina wished to serve alongside her aunt at the barrack Hospital, but was rejected due to her young age. Dante Gabriel Rossetti took a less favorable view of Polidori, calling her his "maniac aunt" in a letter to William Bell Scott in 1854 (Fredeman). Following Polidori's death by cancer, Christina would inherit her aunt's fortune. Fredeman 44.2; Hayward 267; Ashley IV, p. 99; Tinker 1784; CBEL III, 497; CBEL (3) IV, 659; Marsh pp. 32-41, 72-76.

Author: [Rackham, Arthur] Martineau, Harriet
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: London/New York: J.M. Dent & Sons Limited/E.P. Dutton & Company, 1914. Second edition. Publisher's original blue cloth pictorially and ornamentally stamped in gilt, gilt lettered and ornamented spine with "Dent London" at foot. Onlaid color plate to upper board and blue cloth label with "With Many Coloured Illustrations" pasted over small rectangular panel. Original pictorial dust jacket (with "J.M. Dent & Sons" at foot printed in green at foot). Neat gift signature to front paste-down. With all the plates in color, in an unrecorded binding variant. Octavo (7 x 5 in; 178 x 127 mm). 128 pages. Eight color plates, including frontispiece (all dated 1899). A Fine copy in the very scarce dust jacket (jacket slightly chipped at top and bottom of spine). Both Latimore & Haskell and Riall note binding in red or green cloth but not blue, as here. The half-title reads: Tales for Children from Many Lands Edited by F.C. Tilney. "I have seen a copy that causes a confusion as to which is the 1st edition. The cover has a label pasted over With Coloured Illustrations by Arthur Rackham to change the title to With coloured illustrations , and on the title page there is no mention of Coloured by W. Cubitt Cooke. There may have been a mistake of ommitting the the colouring had been done by another on the title page so the pasted plate was added to the cover until the 2nd. issue" (Riall). Just to complicate matters further - our copy has the label on the front cover AND Coloured by W. Cubitt Cooke on the title-page. In the first edition of 1899 [The Temple Classics for Young People], the twelve plates, with the exception of the frontispiece, are in black and white, and the title page thus lacks the credit to W. Cubitt Cooke. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper (1892). Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Riall 122.

Title: Harvard 1660: Girls in the Dorms, “Lascivious” Conduct, Students Drinking and Carousing
Author: Harvard
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 1660. The earliest document relating to Harvard we have had, and the first we’ve seen on the market about young people partying at the collegeThe Massachusetts Bay Colony was first settled in 1630, when a flotilla of ships sailed from England in April bearing 700 Puritans under the leadership of Governor John Winthrop. The colonists began arriving at Salem in June. Thousands more followed from Old England to New. Nathaniel and Anna Bowman were among them, arriving in Watertown with the earliest settlers in 1630. According to Watertown historian, Marilyn Roach, Bowman “received several grants of plow land and meadow in town and farmed here for decades before the couple and their seven children moved in 1651 to the part of Cambridge that later became Lexington.”Harvard is the oldest institution of higher education in the United States. With some 17,000 Puritans migrating to New England by 1636, it was founded in anticipation of the need for training clergy for the new commonwealth. The new College, an early tract said, was a “first flower in their wilderness,” intended to prevent “an illiterate ministry when our present ministers shall lie in dust.” So Harvard was designed as an institution to promote religion, and in Massachusetts that generally meant the Puritan variety known as the Congregational Church.But it seems that not all Puritans were as puritanical as one would assume, and that young people of every generation have much in common. There was a muster of the local militia in Cambridge, a periodic event that tended to draw an audience. There was one in the summer of 1660, and quite a number of the youths went looking for a good time. On July 24, 1660, court records show that constables were ordered to summon over a dozen young men and women to appear “to answer for lascivious meeting together at the general training last at Cambridge, both in an ordinary [bar] and at the college [Harvard] among some of ye students.” Two of these were 20-year-old Nathaniel Bowman, Jr. and his 18-year-old sister Johanna.Following up on this, on September 24, 1660, the constable of Cambridge was ""required to warn Nathaniel Bowman & Johannah Bowman to appear before me at my house on the last day of this instant week about nine of the clock in the morning then & there to answer for their being at a lascivious meeting of sundry young men & maids at the general training lately held at Cambridge”.Middlesex Court Records now housed at the Massachusetts Archives include a collection of statements by witnesses to the “questionable"" behavior that ensued after the muster when local youths and Harvard students began to carouse. According to records, witnesses encountered “singing and smoking” at the camp in the field,” wine drinking in a tavern, young women perched on a young man’s lap, and unauthorized girls in Harvard dorm rooms. Breaking parietals with girls in the dorms, 1660 style.The community elders were outraged; and the transgressors must be brought to confession or punishment. Document Signed, Watertown, Mass, 1660, a confession and plea for pardon from Nathaniel Bowman. The document reads, in part: ""The humble acknowledgement of Nathaniel Bowman humbly confesseth in answer to what is charged against him by this Honored Court that he desireth heartily to be sorrowful that he was so far overtaken in being in both such company & whereas so much dishonor came to God; and so much cause of offence to his people and trouble to this Honored Court; with thankfullness to the Honored Deputy for his good advice, which through the grace of God I hope will worke a better change in my heart. So craving humble pardon from the Honored Court, for the offenses done.”

Title: Le Champ d'Asile. Le Laurier sous leurs pas y croitra sans culture [caption title]
Author: [Texas]: [Champ d'Asile]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: About very good.
Description: Paris: Jean fils, Quai des Augustins, 1819. About very good.. Aquatint engraving, 14.5 x 11 inches. Tipped in along top edge, partially splitting along plate mark. Mildly and unevenly trimmed along left edge, moderate foxing and dust-soiling, short tear at right edge repaired on verso. About very good. A very rare engraving relating to early Texas, picturing residents of the short-lived and ill-fated French colony in Texas, known as the Champ d'Asile. This print depicts soldiers, exiles of the Napoleonic Wars, establishing an agricultural colony in Texas, with one subject farming and two others smoking next to a barrel in the background - perhaps a comment on Texas' potential for tobacco production. Another colonist, in the foreground, is shown in an embrace with an officer, likely representing General C.F.A. Lallemand (one of the founders of the colony) in an expression of his gratitude for the colonist's hard work. The central image is surrounded by banners representing Napoleonic battles from Moscow to Waterloo, which are identified by name. The caption in the lower margin translates to "The laurel under their path will grow without culture." The image was engraved by "Charon" after the original art by "Aubry." The Champ d'Asile (or Camp Asylum) settlement was founded by General Charles Lallemand and a group of loyalist Napoleonic officers who fled France for America in 1815. Although the settlement was billed as a peaceful one, Lallemand in fact had grand schemes of conquest, and sought to establish himself between the United States and the tottering remnants of Spain's American empire. With this goal, 400 settlers landed on the Trinity River near Galveston in 1818. At the same time, a vigorous propaganda machine in France produced promotional tracts, novels, poems, and songs (for all of which, see Streeter Texas, 1068-77), all celebrating the idyllic proposed settlement and attempting to raise support for it. Streeter refers to the prints produced to celebrate the colony as "an interesting lot." This print was part of that promotional effort, and was among a series of prints showing various aspects of the colony. These engravings of Champ d'Asile are among the earliest graphic works purporting to show any part of Texas, though the present image reveals just a pinched portion of the colony itself. Needless to say, the reality of the colony's health was much grimmer than portrayed in any of the prints or publications. Few of the settlers had any real experience in the kind of work needed to start such a settlement in such a distant and unfamiliar location, and sickness soon reduced the number of working hands. The Spanish mustered enough strength to expel the survivors in 1820, though the short life of the colony inspired a French patriotic attachment to Texas for years to come. "Although Champ d'Asile, a colony of Bonapartist refugees founded on the Trinity River in 1818, endured barely six months, its impact on the future of Texas was strong. The concern aroused among United States and Spanish diplomats over this intrusion into disputed territory caused two immediate results. United States pressure forced pirate Jean Laffite and his men, who had assisted the French colonists, to leave Galveston. And French presence at Champ d'Asile precipitated the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819, which eliminated the Neutral Ground agreement and established the Sabine River as the Louisiana-Texas boundary and the border between the United States and New Spain. The body of thought, art, and literature evoked in Paris around Champ d'Asile also had important long-term effects on Texas" - Handbook of Texas online. This particular engraving is one of the rarer among those produced to advertise Le Champ d'Asile.

Folio (60.5 x 45.4 cm, 44.5 x 34 cm and smaller at platemark). Letterpress title and four lithographed plates after drawings by Billaud, the first ("Plan des Galeries & Rotonde Colbert…Explication du plan") lithographed by Mantoux, the second ("Vue intérieure de la Galerie et Rotonde Colbert, Prise du passage des Pavillons descendant au Palais Royale") by Levelly and Engelman, the third ("Galeries Colbert, Portique de l'entrée principale des galeries sur sur la rue Nve. des Petits-Champs") by Hyppolite Roux and Engelmann, and the fourth ("Vue intérieure de la Rotonde et de la Galerie Colbert, Conduisant de la rue Vivienne à la rue Neuve des Petits Champs") also by Roux and Engelmann. Plates two through four are printed chine-collé and mounted on heavy paper. Browning and soiling on title, and some spotting to plates, mostly marginal but affecting the image area in the second and third plates. Stitched and housed in a contemporary portfolio of red embossed paper over boards, leather corners; covers soiled and worn, spine renewed in grey cloth. Discreet blue stamp of "R. Dardel" (René Dardel, 1796-1871) on upper corner of title and lower margin of fourth plate. Rare publication (no U.S. copy) illustrating the newly built glass-covered shopping arcade, Galerie Colbert, linking the Palais Royal to the Galerie Vivienne and now part of the BNF in Paris. Originally a private residence designed by Louis Le Vau in 1634, the site of the Galerie and Rotonde Colbert has a rich history. Acquired by Jean-Baptiste Colbert in 1665, it was later transformed into stables for the Regent Philippe d'Orléans in the 18th century. After the French Revolution, the building served as a public debt fund. The 1820s marked a turning point for the site, as the speculator company Adam et Cie purchased it with the ambitious goal of creating a covered shopping arcade to rival the prestigious Galerie Vivienne arcade located nearby. Architect Jacques Billaud realized this vision in 1826, preserving the Rue des Petits-Champs façade and constructing a glass-covered passageway. The Galerie Colbert spanned 83 meters in length and connected no. 6 Rue des Petits Champs to nos. 204 Rue Vivienne. Its original interior featured a large and magnificent rotunda topped with a glass dome, with polychrome decor reminiscent of Pompeian houses that exuded a sense of ancient grandeur. A striking painting of Colbert promoting trade graced the front porch. Soon after the opening of the Galerie Colbert, in 1830, Berlioz performed "La Marseillaise" from one of its windows. According to the 1833 edition of the Almanach du Commerce de Paris, an eclectic collection of traders soon occupied the Galerie Colbert, including a bookseller (at no. 3), a shoemaker and Chinese sock manufacturer (no. 6), an umbrella maker (no. 13), a gunsmith (nos. 16-18), the Gabriel Pleyel piano store (nos. 23-25), and a hernia truss supplier and manufacturer of belts for children for the prevention of masturbation (no. 28). To attract customers and amuse youngsters, a Géorama—an aerial trompe l'oeil—was installed at the main entrance. Later in the 19th century, the Galerie Colbert also housed a literary cabinet with a 15,000-volume library. Covered passages like the Galerie Colbert were precursors to modern-day shopping malls. These elegant thoroughfares, built to shelter wealthy Parisians from inclement weather, housed a diverse array of shops and businesses. They were not only for shopping, but also for "flaneries" ( strolling) and were such a cultural phenomenon that they inspired the philosopher Walter Benjamin to write his monumental opus " the Arcade project" representing and critiquing this Parisian bourgeois experience. The first such covered passage, the Passage du Caire, completed in 1799, was the brainchild of American inventor Robert Fulton, who came to Paris to showcase his steamboat and submarine. Most of these passages were constructed during the first half of the 19th century on the Right Bank of the Seine. The covered passages typically connected two streets, were enclosed with glass ceilings, and were pedestrian-only thoroughfares. They were privately owned and lavishly decorated with ornate details. Shops lined the ground floor, while the upper levels often housed apartments. Initially lit by gas lamps, these passages were hubs of social activity and commerce. By 1867, Paris boasted approximately 183 covered passages. However, many were demolished during Baron Haussmann's extensive urban renewal projects. Additionally, the rise of the grand department stores, or grands magasins, in the 1850s gradually led to their decline. After a long period of abandonment, the Galerie Colbert was destroyed in 1975 and rebuilt identically by the architect Louis Blanchet (1927-2010), recipient of the Prix de Rome in 1952, for the needs of the National Library of France, which took over the premises in 1985. In 2004, architects Dominique Pinon and Pascale Kaparis transformed the space into a hub for teaching and research for the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art (INHA). Their renovation project carefully preserved the gallery's iconic Pompeian decor while highlighting the historic elements of the original building. At the entrance to the present-day arcade is the art nouveau style brasserie, Le Grand Colbert, which is listed as a historical monument. Unfortunately, little can be established regarding Jacques Billaud, the original architect of the Galerie Colbert. One of the lithographers, Godefroy Engelmann (1799-1839), born in Mulhouse, experimented with lithography in the early 1810s and relocated to Paris in 1816. "Engelmann was concerned with lithography throughout his life and at his death left a flourishing press to his son. For twenty years he was responsible for most of the major technical developments of the process… Already by 1820 his was probably the leading press in Europe, and certainly so for that branch of lithography in which France has ever since led the work, the production of artists' prints. More than anyone else in Europe it was Engelmann who, by virtue of his technical improvements, clear descriptions, and skillful printing, encouraged artists to draw on stone; and the real growth of lithography as far as the artist was concerned really dates from the establishment of his press in Paris" (Twyman, pp. 52-55). Engelmann is also remembered for his innovations in chromolithography. The identities of the three other lithographers (Mantoux, Levelly and Roux) involved in the creation of this work remain shrouded in mystery. René Dardel (1796-1871), whose ownership stamp appears on the title and the fourth plate, was an architect active in the city of Lyon and responsible for several of the city's major monuments, including the Sainte-Blandine church, the fountain of Saint-Jean, and the Palais de la Bourse et du Commerce, inaugurated in 1860 by Napoleon III. One copy at the Musée de Carnavalet in Paris; no copies traced on OCLC in the U.S. * Michael Twyman, Lithography 1800-1850, pp. 52-55.

Author: [Vietnam War]
Seller: The First Edition Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: 1968. Photograph Album. Hardcover. Very good. Unpublished Vietnam War correspondent photographs, depicting military personnel, prisoners of war, battle zones, and various graphic scenes of Vietnam in the late 1960s.. 123 black and white photographs. Housed in red leatherette three-ring binder with gilt borders and bands, measures 11" x 11" x 2.5". Images affixed to self-adhesive magnetic photo sleeves. Wear and rubbing to binder, secure metal rings. A few loose photos, some mylar peeling on sleeves. Some photographs with war department publication information on verso. Includes numerous captions written for professional publication, reporting on various attacks and military operations throughout Vietnam. Features photographs taken for the United States Army, United States Marines, Royal Australian Regiment, Royal New Zealand Artillery, and the Southeast Asia Pictorial Center. The Vietnam War (1954-1975) is considered the first "living room war" due to its daily appearance on television and in the press. The war's controversial and polarizing nature only further propelled its publicity and detailed documentation, as seen in this example. The majority of these photos are from late 1967 and early 1968, on location in Hue, Nui Dat (an Australian base now a part of Ba Ria), Saigon, and Long Binh/Bien Hoa (outside Ho Chi Minh). Multiple images refer to Operation Coburg, an Australian and New Zealand military action against the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong over the Lunar New Year festivities of 1968. It was the first time the Australian Task Force was deployed beyond its Tactical Area of Responsibility, which set a precedent for later operations that extended beyond the assigned province of Phuoc Tuy.
