Seven volumes; large octavos (27.5cm); publisher's full blind-embossed brown morocco, gilt-lettered spines in six compartments, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers; five hundred (500) hand-colored plates lithographed by J.T. Bowen, collated complete. Leather a bit scuffed and scratched, especially along spines, some rubbing to joints, spines uniformly darkened, scattered foxing to textblocks and plates, else a Very Good set. Contemporary ownership ex libris of R.E. Carr to front pastedowns. "The legacy of Audubon's work must be judged by a dual standard - as art and as science...Where Audubon was interested in a bird he would lavish its representation a microscopic detail satisfying to the most critical scientist...His passion for representing birds in violent action had obvious advantages and defects, but it bears witness to the fact that he studied and painted birds in life, not stuffed in museum cases" (Dictionary of American Biography).

Description
Mainz: druckts Franz Behem, [Arnold Birckmann (I) (heirs of)], 1558, 1559. FIRST EDITION. 320 x 205 mm. (12 5/8 x 8"). 6 p.l., CCCCCI [501] leaves; 4 p.l., CCLXII [162] leaves. Contemporary blind-stamped pigskin over bevelled wooden boards, covers with concentric frames containing a palmette roll and roll featuring half-length portraits of King David (signed K D), St. Paul, Christ the Savior, and St. John the Baptist (dated 1549), each of these with abbreviated Latin mottos beneath the figures, central panel with botanical tooling, raised bands, inked shelfmark G 73 in bottom panel, brass catchplates and remnants of straps (corners of boards and head and tail of joints repaired with pigskin some decades ago). Title pages with printer's device, *6 with woodcut of the Crucifixion, verso of title page of second work with woodcut arms of the archbishop of Mainz. Front pastedown with FULL-PAGE HAND-PAINTED EX-LIBRIS OF JOHANNES SALICETUS [WIDENER]: his ink inscription at head of page above a shield painted yellow with curling ink leaves around the perimeter, dominated by a bearded young man in red shirt and tights standing astride three brown hillocks, one hand on his hip, the other holding three stalks of wheat, a ink-drawn homunculus at the foot of the page, his head sprouting what appear to be two antennae, the later blue ink stamp of F T E beside this. First work: USTC 694128; VD16 694130. Second work: 694130; VD16 For the binding: EBDB workshop w002792; EBDB roll r001326 (similar to saints roll, but dated 1547 and with slightly different Latin mottos). Pigskin somewhat soiled and rubbed, title page of first work tipped onto *2, leaves lightly browned (due to paper quality), with intermittent foxing and occasional (mostly trivial) stains and smudges, final leaf with a two-inch to half-inch triangular piece torn away from the upper half of the fore edge, affecting a total of perhaps 80 or 100 words. Still, a copy featuring a binding with antique appeal and considerable interest in terms of provenance (see below). Offered in its original blind-stamped pigskin binding, this imposing collection of Counter-Reformation sermons by an influential preacher is of special interest because of the impressively large hand-painted ex-libris at the front. The two groups of sermons bound together here were written by Johann Wild (1497-1554), a Franciscan who was educated at Cologne and who served as the Domprediger (official cathedral preacher) at Mainz Cathedral. Wild's sermons were very popular, and it has been suggested that they played a significant role in keeping Mainz Catholic at a time when many surrounding cities were converting to Lutheranism. Despite his being a Catholic hero for a time, Wild later became a controversial figure in the Church: many of his works eventually faced posthumous censure, even being placed on the Vatican's Index Librorum Prohibitorum on the grounds that they might invite scriptural misinterpretation. Our copy was owned by a second German Counter-Reformation figure, Johannes Salicetus (i.e., Johann Wideman), whose exuberantly large hand-painted ex-libris takes up nearly the entire front pastedown. Salicetus was rector at the University of Ingolstadt, which had become a bastion of Catholic thought in Southern Germany under the leadership of theologian Johann Eck (1486-1543), an outspoken Luther opponent. A relative and very close friend of Eck, Salicetus composed Eck's eulogy (USTC 698476) as well as a marital poem for his son Oswald (USTC 2213477). The enormous bookplate is apparently a coat of arms, and features a particularly proud central figure posing staunchly in a very red suit with a prominent codpiece and holding three stalks of wheat. While this peculiarly emphatic expression of ownership is surely not unprecedented, we have never owned a book with provenance shown in quite such a dramatic fashion..

Nueva York, 1833. About very good.. 254,iii pp. 16mo. Contemporary mottled calf, spine ornately gilt, edges marbled. Minor wear to binding, library ink stamps on edges of text block. Contemporary presentation inscription on front flyleaf. Moderately foxed. A scarce Nueva York imprint describing travel through the region in and around the Holy Land. Juan de la Granja (1785-1853) was a Spaniard who emigrated to Mexico in 1814, fleeing to New York in 1827, after Mexico had gained its independence and Spanish citizens were somewhat out of favor in the country. He founded a newspaper and established a cultural community for Mexican expats; he was eventually made Consul General of Mexico and subsequently returned to Mexico at the outbreak of the Mexican-American War. He is best known in his adopted country for founding the first telegraph line in Mexico. The present work is inscribed to a young woman by Granja: "A la Senorita Da. Anna Copcutt, Su mas atento y respetuoso servor., Juan de la Granja." American Imprints 19090. Palau 361558.

London: Printed for the author, etc., 1783. First edition of this translation.. Good. Octavo (23 cm). Five volumes. Engraved frontispiece with tissue guard in each volume, after Angelica Kauffman, Thomas Stothard (engraved by William Blake), Gertrud Metz, and William Hamilton. Engraved portraits of Hoole and Ariosto in volume 1. Illustration of Ariosto's chair and inkwell in volume 1. Errata and subscriber list bound in at end of volume 5. Complete collation upon request. In roughly contemporary tree-calf marbled leather over pasteboard, gold garlanded borders made with a roller tool. Spines decorated in gold with stars within roundels. Recent black leather title labels. Volume labels not present. Spine ends worn, with fissure visible along spine of volume IV. Light wear to edges. Scattered foxing. Tender joints reinforced with Japanese paper. Ownership inscription on front blank. The19th-century literary historian Henry Hallam called Ariosto "Europe's second-favorite poet after Homer." Indeed there was an appetite for a modern English translation to replace the Elizabethan version by John Harington. John Hoole assumed the enormous task, and produced this very popular version in rhymed couplets with extensive annotation and a biographical essay. The publication is notable for the commission, in volume three, of a frontispiece plate engraved by William Blake, as well as for plates after Angelica Kauffman, Gertrud Metz, and William Hamilton.

Very Good
Description
1930. NA. Very Good. 53 wallpaper samples representing eleven, or arguably a dozen, different patterns, all striking, and all Modernist, and Art Deco-ish, in their sensibility. Patterns are geometric -- lines, circles, parallelograms, etc. -- or abstracted foliage and other floral elements, or vaguely suggestive of marine life. While there is no date, nor even evidence of the wallpaper company for whom these were done, we are of the conviction these date probably to the 1930s, although they could be from the twenties, or the forties. The paints on the wallpapers have an actual palpability that comes from hand-brushwork. We assume that a stencil process was used to create these samples. Within the designs, there can be differences from one to the next besides their coloring. In a leaf pattern design, for example, some of the samples have a superimposed pattern of short lines, while others have none of this --thus our question mark about the number of different designs. Each pattern is shown in multiple color combinations, per typical for wallpaper sample books. The samples are mounted on black paper, these undersheets measuring 32.5 by 26 cm, and the samples are mounted with modest margins and are close to uniform in size, but not completely so. Typical would be dimensions of about 28 by 24 cm. Over each of the samples is a spider web patterned thin and translucent vellum tissue guard, such as we associate with photo albums from the early to mid-20th century. It is our educated guess that these samples were part of the drafting process, and not meant to be presented to customers. In other words, pre-catalogue. But since we don't know the manufacturer, we can't know for sure. Since by this time the design market was international, we also can't be sure of the nationality of that company -- it could be French,German, English or American.

Philadelphia: A.Hartung & Co. Wraps -- textured paper. Stapled. Very Good. White doesn't mean vanilla! the diverse world of paper whiteness here demonstrated, with 25 samples, each with a different embossed pattern or style, some mimicking other materials, some, geometric, some, indescribable. Oblong, 12.5 by 20.5 cm. 27 leaves, with two leaves serving as a key. The inside front cover has pricing info printed. The samples are arranged into two groups, the first, with a diagonal cut-away. In both groupings each succeeding sample is slightly taller so that one can at a glance see a sliver of all the samples in the group. We find the arrangement quite singular. Yale holds a catalogue from this company with color samples, so obviously a very different catalogue. Otherwise no institutional holdings of the company's publications listed on OCLC First Search. One sample has a chunky chip, but most of the sample is intact. The cover shows light to moderate use.

Brian Cassidy Bookseller at Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Description
n.p., 1968. Collection of five explicit gay-themed Stonewall-era cartoons presented as mock holiday cards and posters, all signed "Chic." "Chic o' Frisco" is listed as an author in the Online Archive of California's collection of San Francisco LGBT Business Ephemera, and is also mentioned by that name (as designer of a parade float) in the October 1970 issue of "Vector: A Voice for the Homosexual Community," the official publication of the Society for Individual Rights (SIR). Cards are reminiscent of vintage novelty kitsch-erotica for the heterosexual market, with an added subversive political edge; some drawings are self-consciously retro in style and repurpose patriotic/jingoistic iconography or ad-copy language for satirical or pornographic ends. Shares some visual sensibility with the work of Tom of Finland, whose style at the turn of the decade likewise traded on a pre-established vocabulary of masculine tropes. Rare and ephemeral. Five holiday cards and posters in original 12.5'' by 9.5'' pictorial envelope, all with original mail folds as issued. Envelope ragged along edges with some tears, otherwise very good to near fine. Four of the cartoons are 18'' by 12'' (9'' by 12'' folded); one is 9'' by 12'' (9'' by 6'' folded). The contents of this collection are as follows: 1."'Tis Tyme Ye Shude Offer'th Up Thine Thanks." Pictorial mailing envelope printed in gilt; 12.5'' by 9.5'' 2. "Kampik Stripz, or Brown Nosein' Thru 'Fairyland.'" 1968. Poster depicting six homoerotic cartoon vignettes printed in black on orange background. 18'' by 12.'' 3. Labor Day Sport: Have a Ball! or Two." Bifolium printed in black on yellow stock; pp. [2-3] feature an illustrated poem: "Septembers [sic] 'Golden' Song." Celebrating "Happy, Gay Labor Day Preversions..." 9'' by 12'.' 4. "Uncle Needs You! an All the Gang for a Bangin 4th of July." Bifolium, exterior printed in white on red background, interior printed in blue on white background. 18'' by 12.'' 5. Happyness [sic] Is a 'Dad' Called Peter!" 1969. Bifolium "Father's Day" card printed in brown and yellow. 18'' by 12.'' 6. "'Coming' of the Pilgrims..." 1968.

With the flyer is two envelopes, the first one originally held the flyer and is emblazoned with the word "Important!".
