Seller: Bauman Rare Books

Title: Zuleika Dobson
Author: BEERBOHM Max
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1911. First Edition. BEERBOHM, Max. Zuleika Dobson or An Oxford Love Story. London: William Heinemann, 1911. Octavo, original russet cloth, uncut. Housed in a custom cloth chemise and half morocco slipcase. $1250.First edition of the caricaturist and essayist's only novel and his most enduring prose work, an ""Oxford love story"" about a ""beautiful young woman whose visit to Oxford occasions the suicide of all the undergraduates.""""By the time Max had married, retired from London, and settled in Italy, his position as one of England's foremost essayists was firmly in place. As early as 1898 Shaw had, famously, pronounced Max 'incomparable.' As a writer he had progressed towards a relaxed natural style Max's writing attained even greater success with his next four books: in 1911 he published to great critical acclaim his only novel, Zuleika Dobson. This fantasy about the beautiful young woman whose visit to Oxford occasions the suicide of all the undergraduates has proved his most popular prose work; it has been the most continuously in print of all his books Zuleika Dobson was included in the 1998 controversial Modern Library list of '100 best novels' of the 20th century, ranking 59th (New York Times, 20 July 1998)"" (ODNB). ""Although purportedly set in the Edwardian era, Beerbohm's only novel owes much to the author's memories of Oxford in the 1890s, where he was an undergraduate at Merton College. Indeed, he began to draft this 'Oxford Love Story' shortly after he had gone down In a note for the 1946 reissue of the book the elderly Beerbohm denied that it was 'intended as a satire on such things as the herd instinct, as feminine coquetry, as snobbishness, even as legerdemain.' It was, he claimed, 'just a fantasy,' and its dandified style, its air of elaborate, frothy artifice, and its apostrophes to classical gods and muses reinforce the author's definition"" (Parker & Kermode, Reader's Guide to the Twentieth-Century Novel, 44-45). Without scarce original dust jacket. Light foxing, chiefly to text block edges; rear inner paper hinge cracked but quite sound. Light dust soiling to cloth. Still a lovely, near-fine copy.

Title: Right Over Wrong. Coming Right Along. Song & Chorus
Author: [Music – Hutchinson Family – Abolition] Hutchinson, Jesse; The Hutchinson Family
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Foxed with wear to edges; very good to excellent.
Description: New York: Horace Waters, 1855. Sheet music measuring 10 ¾ x 14 ¼ inches, 6 pp. Foxed with wear to edges; very good to excellent.. A scarce Hutchinson Family sheet, published in 1855, with an abolition theme. The song goes, in part: “The captive now begins to rise and burst his chains asunder, While Politicians stand aghast in anxious fear and wonder. No longer shall the bondman sigh beneath the galling fetters, He sees the Dan of Freedom nigh, and reads the golden letters…” It also discusses alcohol, within a larger theme of good triumphing over evil. The song is included in some songsters but this standalone version is quite uncommon, with one copy held at Dartmouth. In 1855 the Hutchinson Family Singers continued extensive touring across the northeastern United States, presenting concert programs that combined abolitionist songs, temperance material, and political commentary aligned with reform movements. They had embraced abolitionism as a cause about a decade earlier with a string of compositions including “Get Off the Track” and “The Bereaved Slave Mother.”.

Cocktail-Themed Toile Fabric

Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques

Title: Cocktail-Themed Toile Fabric
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: 1930. Very Good. An Art Deco toile fabric that captures the glamour of alcohol during Prohibition -- cocktail shaker, martini glasses, snazzily and elegantly dressed people, a door with a sign saying "Private House" -- this an explicit nod to Prohibition, we believe -- a background repeat of stars, this evoking the night and all its frolic and forbidden pleasures, a flying stairway -- is that a reference to a speakeasy, or a "stairway to Heaven", or both? -- and not least,the bottles of gin. We don't know the make of this fabric, and our dating, which is really circa 1930, has to be on the mark. It is possible that it was made in England, where one could drink freely, but there was plenty of awareness of Prohibition, and the effect on culture of Prohibition had freshet of spillover on culture outside the US. We have two pieces of the fabric. The larger piece, 152 by 43 cm, has two columns, and we are of the thinking this captures the entirety of the toile design -- or put another way, represented are all the motifs, which are then just repeated. But we can't guarantee this. One column shows people drinking and some of the settings where they do it suggested. The parallel column is entirely of the objects associated with drink -- bottles, glasses, cocktail shakers. The second piece is just of the column with drinkers. It is 99 by 20 cm. We can't imagine an aesthetic more appropriate for the subject than Art Deco, which was then the prevailing Modernist style, but also, the most immediate imagery of the era for many of us is from innumerable Hollywood films depicting sophisticates, Art Deco is everywhere, from the lettering and decoration of the film credits to the decor of the apartments, the clubs and other settings. The fabric design also has a levity as well, such as the branding of the gin as "High & Dry" Gin. These light touches go along with the sophisticated aura that drinking had inspired, as epitomized by Nick and Nora Charles. (The novel was first published shortly after the repeal of Prohibition but the glamour of drinking and all its associations lingered long after.) The Art Deco style manifests itself in many ways, among them, the streamlined illustration, not abstract, but economical and minimal in its depiction of people and objects. Also the simplicity of ornamentation -- ruled lines, stars -- not to mention the color choices. The smaller piece has a number of small holes, and spots where the fabric has worn thin. The larger has considerably less deterioration, butit too has a hole, a tear, etc. That said, these flaws really don't affect how one might display the pieces, we believe.

Title: Golden Apple of the Sun [Signed]
Author: COLE, Teju
Seller: Riverrun Books & Manuscripts (United States)
ISBN: 9781913620219
Description: MACK, 2021. First edition, signed (he signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and bound into the inside back cover). 25 x 19 cm. 136 pages. Color photographic reproductions. Hardcover. In the period leading up to the November 3, 2020 elections in the United States, Teju Cole began to photograph his kitchen counter in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Working in the still life tradition of Chardin, Cezanne, and the Dutch masters, as well as such contemporary photographers as Laura Letinsky and Jan Groover, he photographed every day over the course of five weeks. Unlike those illustrious forbears, Cole left his arrangements entirely to chance, “the bowls and plates moving in their unpredictable constellations.” What emerges is a surprising portrait, across time, of one kitchen counter in one home at a time of social, cultural, and political upheaval. Alongside the photographs is a long written essay, as wide-ranging in its concerns—hunger, fasting, mourning, slavery, intimacy, painting, poetry and the history of photography—as the photographs are delimited in theirs. The text and photographic sequences are interspersed with an anonymous handwritten eighteenth century cookbook from Cambridge. Golden Apple of the Sun is a luminous and humane work, presented with the formal boldness and oblique intelligence we have come to expect from Teju Cole.
