Description
Moscow: I. D. Sytin, 1894. First edition. 284 pp., 2 leaves. Contemporary Russian half calf with pebbled black cloth sides, spine and corners worn, hinges neatly repaired. The spine is lettered in gilt with the title only. The rare original front and back printed wrappers are preserved. An abrasion on the title page affects three letters. Inscribed on the front free endpaper "D. Zhook. Purleigh 1899. (Book sent me by Anton Chekhov)." This collection of eleven short stories was actually printed in January 1895, and that is the date on the front wrapper. Dora Zhook (Dora Wess Zuk) translated Tolstoy and others around that time, and her husband translated and published various other writers, notably Kropotkin. She corresponded with Chekhov in 1899 concerning her desire to translate his stories, but as far as we know, none was ever published. Among the stories included here are "The Black Monk," "Rothschild's Fiddle," "The Student," and "The Teacher of Literature

Description
1899. Bannerman, Helen. London: Grant Richards, 1899. Original light green cloth decorated in dark green. First Edition, issued as the fourth volume in Grant Richards's diminutive series "The Dumpy Books for Children" -- of which the first three are long-forgotten. The Preface briefly describes how the Scotswoman Helen Bannerman (1863-1946), who married an army doctor and spent much of her life in southern India, came to write and illustrate this book: Once upon a time there was an English lady in India, where black children abound and tigers are everyday affairs, who had two little girls. To amuse these little girls she used now and then to invent stories, for which, being extremely talented, she also drew and coloured the pictures. Among these stories Little Black Sambo, which was made up on a long railway journey, was the favourite; and it has been put into a Dumpy Book, and the pictures copied as exactly as possible, in the hope that you will like it as much as the two little girls did. LITTLE BLACK SAMBO passed through five editions in its first year, and was quickly a household fixture in both the U.K. and the U.S.; its author tried to follow up on its popularity with several other similar books (for example LITTLE BLACK MINGO in 1901, LITTLE BLACK QUIBBA in 1902, LITTLE BLACK QUASHA in 1908 and LITTLE BLACK BOBTAIL in 1909) -- but only SAMBO was a big hit. (Incidentally some, like Schiller, have suggested that the success of this book prompted another series of books for children in this diminutive format of alternating text and color illustrations: Beatrix Potter's many titles, beginning with PETER RABBIT just two years later.) For decades now, of course, LITTLE BLACK SAMBO has become synonymous with racist literature, and "Sambo" has become a slur word for Africans and African-Americans. To a degree this is a bum rap: the tale has nothing to do with Africans, but rather with the Tamil people who were Helen Bannerman's neighbors in southern India; furthermore, the tale itself celebrates the intelligence and ingenuity of these children. However, it is the names (and it gets worse: Sambo's parents are Black Mumbo and Black Jumbo), as well as the minstrel-show style of the author's own (amateur) color illustrations, that have taken (and deserve) especial flak. (In fact, for these reasons an edition was published in 1976, which retained the uplifting story while changing the names and replacing the illustrations, to show decidedly Indian people and clothing.) LITTLE BLACK SAMBO is very scarce in its original binding in decent condition. It is easy to see why. Of course it was a book intended for children; yet because each leaf bears a colored plate, the book could not be bound conventionally with string. Instead, it is similar to what is today termed "perfect bound," with the stub of each leaf glued (with old gutta percha) to its neighbors and to an inner spine cloth. This means that in addition to the natural drying out of the gutta percha, it would take just one child trying once to lie the book flat to completely break the book at that juncture. This is a very good-plus, perhaps near-fine copy. The flexible cloth binding has very little wear, though there a few faint wrinkles at the fore-edge of the front cover, and a couple of small inkmarks on the rear. The endpapers are tight but show some cracking; the leaves inside are quite clean, with the colored illustrations bright. The old glue (undoubtedly invisibly reinforced with new glue, as with just about all copies) continues to hold this copy together well. Quayle CHILDREN'S pp 101-102. Housed in a handsome morocco-backed clamshell case.

1922. Forrest, A. S.. London, Edinburgh, and New York: Thomas Nelson and Sons, (1922). Original tan-grey cloth pictorially decorated in black, green, red and yellow. First Edition. This is a retelling of a dozen historical events that involved "escapes and hurried journeys" all over the world (Scotland, South Africa, Turkestan, Australia...), illustrated with eight plates by A.S. Forrest. The book was subsequently reprinted as a textbook, with additional questions and exercises not by Buchan. This is a handsomely bound book: the five-color pictorial scene carries over from the front cover onto the spine (the American edition would copy this binding, but without the yellow). This is a near-fine copy, with minor rubbing of the spine pigment. Blanchard A54.

He supported William Jennings Bryan's anti-imperialist campaign in the 1900 presidential election. Schurz lived in a summer cottage in Northwest Bay on Lake George, New York which was built by his good friend Abraham Jacobi. Isaac Townsend Smith (1813 - 1906) was one of the incorporators of the Metropolitan Savings Bank of New York and was for many years its president.

London: Printed by T. Plummer … for G. and J. Robinson, 1802. First edition. 8vo. Uncut in publisher's pink boards; fine, in a custom green cloth chemise Fine first edition in boards of Lamb’s first play, a presentation copy from Fanny Holcroft to fellow author Catherine Hutton. Holcroft (1780-1844), a translator and novelist and friend of Charles and Mary Lamb, was the author of the anti-slavery poem “The Negro” and such novels as Fortitude and Frailty and The Wife and the Lover. Her father was the dramatist and radical Thomas Holcroft (1745-1809), who published several of her translations in his Theatrical Recorder. Catherine Hutton (1756–1846) was a novelist (The Miser Married, The Welsh Mountaineer, Oakwood Hall) and prolific letter-writer. A letter from T. Harral, editor of the periodical La Belle Assemblée, to Catherine Hutton, May 20, 1827, records a gift of a Lamb title, presumably the present volume: "Miss Holcroft has given me a little volume for you, the production of a particular friend of hers, Mr. Charles Lamb, whom you will probably recollect as the author of some admirable paper signed 'Elia' in the London Magazine …" (Reminiscences of a Gentlewoman of the Last Century: Letters of Catherine Hutton, 1891, pp. 194-5). Following the blank-verse tragedy John Woodvil, which was rejected by Drury Lane and never performed, are several short works and the poem “Helen,” Mary Lamb’s first appearance in print. PROVENANCE: Catherine Hutton (contemporary presentation inscription from Fanny Holcroft on title-page); Robert S Pirie (book-plate) REFERENCE: Roff, pp. 47-52

His little book met with a cold reception, while a French translation by Rozière de la Chassagne in 1770 attracted little notice. But Auenbrugger lived to see the appearance in 1808 of J. N. Corvisart’s classic translation of the book, after which the value of percussion was universally recognized. It should be noted that recognition did not occur until nearly 50 years after Auenbrugger first published" (Garrison-Morton).

New York: Limited Editions Club, 2001. A handsome illustrated edition of Wright's 1938 story. In Wilson's own words "I chose to illustrate this story because of Wright's vivid dramatic setting. Etching techniques like aquatint and spit biting were ideal to interpret the dark brooding, murky atmosphere. Above all, the river with its powerful currents and its violent energy . . . seemed to symbolize basic forces of nature. I wanted the blue translucent shapes and flowing rhythms of the water to carry the figures from one episode to the next." One of an edition of 300 copies, signed by Wilson.

First edition of the first book illustrated by BALTHUS (aged 11) and of the first book written in French by RILKE, large in-8 in sheets. In 1919, RILKE met Baladine KLOSSOWSKA and her two sons, Pierre and Balthus, in Geneva. He was so struck by the drawings made by the latter that he decided to have them published with an accompanying text. This mythical book has become very difficult to find. This copy comes from the printer's reserves and comes in sheets, unfortunately with the lack of the 6th of the 40 illustrations by BALTHUS.

Second Story Books is honored to offer this item from the personal collection of Neil and Susan Sheehan. Neil Sheehan (1936-2021) and Susan Sheehan (born 1937) were a distinguished husband-and-wife team whose careers helped define American literary journalism in the second half of the twentieth century. Neil Sheehan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times, is best known for his role in bringing the Pentagon Papers to public attention and for his landmark book "A Bright Shining Lie", while Susan Sheehan built a parallel reputation as a leading voice at The New Yorker, crafting deeply reported narrative nonfiction on subjects ranging from mental health to social institutions, earning her own Pulitzer Prize in 1983. Their longstanding ties to major publications, particularly The New Yorker, placed them at the center of an influential cultural and intellectual network, and artwork from their collection carries added provenance through this close connection to the magazine's editorial and artistic community. 1411738.

Noted Mexican muralist and painter José Clemente Orozco created between 1947 and 1948 the painting series "Los Teúles" an artistic narrative of historical character inspired in the relation "Historia verdadera de la Nueva España" written by conqueror chronicler Bernardo Díaz del Castillo. The series includes recurring scenes of battles, heroic deeds, dismembered bodies, and Pre-Hispanic rites and sacrifices. Painter Roberto Cortázar (b. México 1962) for over a year studied "Los Teúles" while also creating a series of abstract and figurative paintings that are a variation of 3 of Orozco's paintings from the series: El desmembrado, Cabeza flechada and Indias, all dated 1947. The book comprises a critical homage by a contemporary artist to one of the greatest exponent of 20th century Mexican art. Published on the occasion of the homonymous exhibition held Oct., 2009 at the Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico City. ENGLISH AND SPANISH. Este libro muestra el catálogo y textos a propósito de la exhibición "Los desmenbrados según Orozco, por Roberto Cortázar" La obra e intervención curatorial y de instalación permite una reflexión y diálogo sobre la interpretación de la obra personal del muralista José Clemente Orozco y la propuesta del artista contemporáneo Roberto Cortazar. Esta exposición permite una defragmentación de la sociedad mexicana a través del discurso de artista plástico, que es a la vez narrativo y atemporal.
