Large folio: 12 by 17 inches. 104pp. Finely printed letterpress by Juan Pascoe with the Washington hand press on Castilla Gvarro paper. One of 100 copies for sale, from a total edition of 135 copies. This copy is numbered 87. Signed by the printer on the last page. Finely bound by the Thorn Bindery in quarter warm brown morocco, double marbled paper boards by Pam Smith in shades of tan and brown, white leather lettering pieces on the spine and upper board tooled in blind, and medium brown Cave handmade paper as pastedowns. The text by Alexandre Stols is taken from the Boletín de la Bibliteca Nacional, 1957. Pp. 45-104 are facsimiles of César's printing, generally examples of his title pages. Pp. 12 through 43 contain detailed explanatory notes of the facsimiles. An impressive work, finely printed and finely bound. Cornelio Adrián César was a Dutch printer, born in Haarlem in 1574. At the age of 8 he was apprenticed to a printing house in Haarlem. Later, he enlisted as an artillery constable and sailed for New Spain. On his arrival he made the acquaintance of Pedro Ocharte's widow and was welcomed into the printing business. After serving a prison sentence imposed by the Holy Inquisition, which declared him a heretic, he found work in other presses and during his long life printed an impressive amount of work of the highest quality and made great contributions to the bibliography of the printing press in the Americas. .

Description
Nine full-page & one double-page woodcut illus. and one vignette. Four vols. 8vo, orig. wrappers, old stitching. [China]: Dun hua tang 敦化堂, 1718. A commercial edition of the Confucian Document Classic, probably intended for candidates for the civil service examinations. The Document Classic, or Venerated Documents, “was recognized during the Han dynasty as one of the ‘Five Classics’ and has served for more than two-thousand years as the foundation of Chinese political philosophy. The text contains the earliest writings in China’s traditional literature, with some chapters dating nearly a thousand years before its recognition as a classic” (Edward L. Shaughnessy in Michael Loewe, ed., Early Chinese Texts: A Bibliographical Guide, p. 376). As a Confucian classic, our book was studied extensively by elite males, and familiarity with it was expected by candidates sitting for the civil service examinations. On its own, the Document Classic was difficult to understand for readers in imperial China, who nevertheless invested it with great importance and meaning. Commentaries on the text thus accrued. In the 12th century, the great Neo-Confucian synthesist Zhu Xi (1130-1200) entrusted one of his disciples—Cai Shen—to produce an edition combining the available commentaries. “Chu Hsi [Zhu Xi] moved freely between the Four Books and Five Classics, treating them holistically as the basis for the thought-world of the classical age. Chu’s efforts culminated with Ts’ai Shen [Cai Shen] 蔡沈 (1167-1230), his student, who used the ‘human and mind of the Tao’ passage for a holistic interpretation of all the chapters in the Documents, a view that became required in the Ming examination curriculum” (Benjamin A. Elman, A Cultural History of Civil Examinations, p. 436). Thus our book became very influential in the Ming period and into the early Qing. Each page of our book is divided into two panels, a common format in Ming and early Qing commercial publishing. The lower panel contains the text of the Document Classic along with Cai’s commentary. The upper panel contains additional commentaries assembled by one Zhu Yun, about whom we find no further information. Zhu is also the author of the book’s list of “Editorial Principles.” Fan Zideng, who is said to have proofread the text, wrote the Preface. Like Cai, Fan stressed the unity of the mind of the ancient sage rulers, which was accessible through the reading of the Document Classic with Cai’s assembled commentary. Our book, in which an earlier reader has made notes, is a good example of commercially produced didactic books. In addition to the Classic itself, it contains supplementary material for students of the text, consisting of mnemonics for memorizing the geographical divisions of ancient China. Very good set; somewhat browned and frayed and with some dampstaining. Thumbing and tears to a few leaves with some loss of text. Preserved in the original hantao.

Description
Cleveland, Ohio, 1928. Hardcover. Very Good. Oblong octavo measuring 8" x 5.5". String-tied black leather over stiff paper boards with "photographs of Cleveland" handwritten on the front board. Contains 138 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 2" x 3" and 3.5" x 6" with some captions. Very good album with rubbing and edgewear with near fine photographs. A photo album kept by a primary school teacher in Cleveland, Ohio beginning in 1928. The photos are compiled by a young woman and show her with her friends outside of the school as well as events with her class. The album begins with a photo captioned "The Gang!" and shows the woman and her friends all posed together on a roof top. This is followed by a photo captioned "the male quartet and the Ford" and shows a group of young men hanging out of their new ford. Her "beginner sewing class" is photographed here and a group that was performing "Children of Old Glory" in 1929. She taught cooking and sewing classes and is seen here teaching and posed for class portraits. The classes are seen around a school house, on a picnic, and playing out of doors. Also included is an envelope with loose photographs and negatives from around the same time with one photo of a nurse from 1943. An interesting collection of photographs detailing a young woman's teaching career and time with her friends in Ohio in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
