John Hoyer Updike (1932-2009), one of only three authors to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, is probably best known today for his "Rabbit" series. He often wrote about "everyday life", and this poem, originally published in 1958 (in "The Carpentered Hen"), touches upon the little things which make the city of San Francisco so memorable to so many. With four blue line-drawing vignettes by Valenti Angelo (1897-1982), a highly regarded designer, illuminator, and decorator of books during a career which spanned decades, doing much of his early work for the Grabhorn Press and The Book Club of California. He also printed books in extremely limited editions under the imprints of "The Golden Cross Press" and "The Press of Valenti Angelo". This lovely broadside was printed by the inimitable Andrew Hoyem, founder of the Arion Press and keeper of the flame of the Grabhorn Press, for Gale Herrick, Stan Speck, John Borden and Jack Aldridge to present to their fellow members of The Roxburghe Club of San Francisco in May, 1976, in an edition of only 150 copies. ___DESCRIPTION: Broadside printed on laid paper with the watermark of "T H Saunders", four line-drawing vignettes in blue by Angelo (a view down a SF street showing alcatraz in the Bay; Coit Tower; a cable car; and the Golden Gate Bridge) which surround the poem, printing in black; quarto size (11 7/8" by 8 15/16"). ___CONDITION: Near fine, clean, free of markings; some light toning along the left margin, a few very light creases along the bottom, and a speck or two of light foxing. ___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.

Title: Photograph of Ruth Hale, Possibly at the Pendleton Round-Up, C. 1922-1923
Author: [Women’s History] Hale, Ruth
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Oregon, 1923. Silver gelatin photograph mounted to cardstock measuring 6 ¼ by 4 ⅞ inches. Press marks verso. Some wear, very good overall. Very Good. An image of the women’s rights activist and author Ruth Hale, likely taken at one of her well-publicized trips to the Pendleton Round-Up in Oregon in 1922 or 1923. Hale is shown on horseback in western attire. Hale was very active during this period in efforts to allow women to keep their names after marriage. The verso identifies her as “Ruth Hale / Mrs. Heywood [sic] Brown.” Hale traveled with a group of Eastern writers to the Pembleton Round-Up in 1922 and 1923, though she appears to have gotten lost in 1922, a trip that was covered widely at the time. We find no other record of this image, which was found in the Brown Brothers archive.

Condition: New in shrinkwrap
Description: New York: Gagosian Gallery, 2011. First edition. New in shrinkwrap. 12.5 x 9.5 inches. 300 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket. "Pablo Picasso's endless fascination with his lover's character and form led to radical shifts in his conception of portraiture and the mystical metamorphoses that the act of creation entails. Picasso's secretive love affair with Marie-Therese Walter, which began in 1927, inspired a radical shift in his conception of portraiture. The exhibition and catalogue present Marie-Therese as a primary vehicle for his experimentation during the period, including several works never before seen in the United States as well as previously unpublished personal letters and photographs. Picasso and Marie-Therese sheds new light on the interpretation of one of the most creative relationships in Picasso's rich and varied oeuvre" (the publisher).
