Seller: Swan's Fine Books

Title: Mr. Gilhooley
Author: O'Flaherty, Liam; Austen, John (dust jacket illustrations)
Seller: Swan's Fine Books (United States)
Condition: Near fine
Description: London: Jonathan Cape, 1926. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/very good +. Austen, John. First printing, octavo size, 288 pp., signed by Liam O'Flaherty. Liam O'Flaherty (1896-1984) is considered by many to be one of the "foremost socialist writers in the first part of the 20th century". After serving in WWI (and being badly injured) he became involved in Irish politics and was a founding member of the Communist Party in Ireland. In his novels he could generally be seen as "a caustic, indeed corrosive, critic of the social pressures which shaped early twentieth-century Ireland and, in particular, the new Ireland which emerged with the founding of the Irish Free State." This work, "Mr. Gilhooley" is one of his "morbid" novels, with the story set in a "murky Dublin"; upon publication, it caused an "uproar over its 'indecent' content" (which has as a character a "girl of the streets"). The dust jacket with two illustrations by John Austen (1886-1948), a well-known illustrator whose style was at first influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and later by the Art Deco movement. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full brick-red cloth over boards, gilt lettering and rules on the spine, publisher's device blind-debossed on the back board, signed by Liam O'Flaherty on the front free endpaper, publisher's device on the title page; octavo size (7.75" by 5.5"), pagination: [1-4] 5-288. Publisher's dust jacket shows the original price of 7s. 6d., illustration of Mr. Gilhooley on the front panel by John Austen, another illustration (likely by Austen but unsigned) on the spine of a girl under a streetlamp, undoubtedly meant to be a "streetwalker", black lettering on front and spine, back panel publisher's ad for other works, front flap with a short summary of the book and the printed price, back flap blank. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, with clean boards, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a hint of sunning to the head and tail of the spine, some dustiness to the top edge of the text block, else fine. The unclipped dust jacket just shy of near fine; entire and free of tears, some overall soiling, minor overall edgewear, and a mark on the front panel crossing the left-hand shoulder of Gilhooley. Overall a wonderful example of this work of Irish literature, signed by the author. ___CITATION: Information above and quotes from the online Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; 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. Please contact us with any questions you may have, we are here to help.

Title: Four (4) Original Pen Drawings and Rhymes
Author: [Mabel Rebecca Noyes]
Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Description: [Nashua, New Hampshire], 1920. A charming set of four (4) original pen drawings with accompanying rhymes (perhaps once meant for a friendship album?), pasted onto a single sheet of 8.75" by 3.75" paper. Each is sweet with a sense of humor, and seem to be attributed to "Mabel Rebecca Noyes"-- of whom we can find no information, save that she attended Wellesley College in 1923. An example of the kind of sweet humor: "There was a young lady Rebecca / Whose brain was a good double-decca / She'd a great saving head / For both boxes and thread / She'll make a good housewife, by hecca". The rhyme is accompanied by a drawing of a woman balancing a stack of boxes.

Attractive unclipped, (9/6), wrapper has some edge-wear with a few short closed tears and a shallow crease on the bottom front panel. Short tears at the heel and some soiling to the bottom of the spine and a small portion of the rear panel.

Ms. Wade had been a missionary in India and for a longer period in Burma where she probably worked among the Karen people. Wade had traveled around the country with two Burmese converts, seeking to encourage and inspire those supportive of missions among the "heathens." The Philadelphia speech was given in 1833 or 1834. Ms. Allen's attempt to reconstruct Wade's had gotten the speaker's sanction as to the correctness of facts before Wade returned to Burma.
