Description
London: Published for the Florence Press by Chatto & Windus, 1910. ONE OF 250 COPIES ON PAPER (12 additional copies were printed on vellum). 250 x 185 mm. (9 7/8 x 7 1/4"). 5 p.l., 120 pp., [1] leaf. ANIIMATED DARK GREEN INLAID CRUSHED MOROCCO, ELABORATELY GILT, BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE (signed on front turn-in), covers with inlaid border of russet ribbon laced at each corner through a blue heart from which is suspended a pair of bells in inlaid brown morocco, an inner border of red inlaid hearts alternating with small gilt floral tools, front cover with centerpiece medallion of five inlaid flowers in green, white, and yellow on a densely stippled ground within a red inlaid circle with a gilt collar of oak leaves and acorns, rear board with centerpiece inlay in brown and pink of Pan pipes suspended on a ribbon, the whole enclosed in a gilt garland; raised bands, spine gilt in compartments featuring floral cornerpieces and knotwork centerpiece with red heart and dot inlays, very ornate gilt inner dentelles, silk pastedowns and endpapers, all edges gilt. In a (slightly marked) quarter morocco fleece-lined clamshell box with gilt titling on spine. 12 fine color plates by Norman Wilkinson. With the binders' typed description of the binding on Sangorski & Sutcliffe letterhead laid in at front. ◆Tips of joints and corners almost imperceptibly rubbed, one leaf with small faint stain, a few minute marginal adhesions, otherwise INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY IN VIRTUALLY PERFECT CONDITION. This is a finely bound and finely printed edition of a group of essays, short stories, and autobiographical and travel sketches, originally published in various periodicals and first printed as a collection in 1881. Founded in 1908 by the London publishers Chatto & Windus and operated by Philip Lee Warner, the Florence Press had as its expressed intention the production of "beautiful books in the choicest types . . . in larger editions, and at [lower] cost than [was] usual with such monuments of typography as the issues of the Kelmscott [and other] presses." Florence books are readily distinguishable by their special type, designed by Herbert P. Horne after 15th century Italian faces that are elegant, simple, and easily readable. Binders Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe met as boys attending Douglas Cockerell's bookbinding classes at the L. C. C. Central School. Cockerell was so impressed by their skill that he hired Sutcliffe as a finisher and Sangorski as a forwarder. In 1901, Francis and George went into business for themselves, and before long, they had become two of the most renowned English binders of the 20th century. We can date the time of our binding to the decade of the 1910s because there is a letter from the binders laid in with an explanation of the decoration on stationery with the printed date "191__." The letter indicates that "250 different pieces of various colored leathers are used as inlays," many to suggest the contents of the essays: "the wedding bells and heart border are suggestive of the first essay, 'Virginibus Puerisque.' The front centerpiece composed of spring flowers surrounded by a wreath of oak [suggests] 'Crabbed Age and Youth,' and the back centerpiece [suggests] 'Pan's Pipes.'" In terms of its design, quality of execution, and condition, the binding is simply beautiful..

Seattle: Edward Curtis, 1913. First edition. nb. Very Good. STUNNING GOLD-TONED SILVER PRINT OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE BY EDWARD CURTIS, SIGNED BY BOTH TAGORE AND CURTIS. An outstanding union of photographer and subject: Edward Curtis, one of America's most sensitive and accomplished portrait photographers, and Rabindranath Tagore, the great Bengali poet, composer, playwright, and painter, "generally regarded as the outstanding creative artist of early 20th-century India." Edward Curtis, known primarily for his lifelong project to document and preserve the traditions of Native Americans through photography, became a master at representing people who were unlike himself. Striving for more than a just a flat visual record, he tried (in his own words), to take "a picture that will show the soul of the people". Through his creative composition and innovative photographic techniques, Curtis helped his subjects come alive in the images. In fact, "frequently Curtis's human subjects are so powerfully present in the picture that they seem to return the observer's gaze." (Mark Gidley, Britannica). In Curtis's photograph of Tagore, the celebrated poet indeed has an intense "returning gaze" while at the same time appears somewhat ethereal and unquestionably noble. It's a beautiful image that endures as a work of art as well as a profound portrayal of its subject. Tagore was awarded the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature - the first non-European to do so - and subsequently spent "long periods out of India, lecturing and reading from his work in Europe, the Americas, and East Asia and becoming an eloquent spokesperson for the cause of Indian independence" (ibid.). This photo, c.1913, was taken at Curtis's studio in Seattle during Tagore's visit to the United States. Signed "Rabindranath Tagore" in strong dark ink on original mount beneath the photo and "Curtis" on the lower right of the mount. With Curtis's studio stamp at the bottom left of the image. Size: Image = 6x8 in.; with original mount = 8x10 in. Seattle: c.1913. Some spots of oxidation in black background. A remarkable photograph with tones extraordinarily rich; extremely rare signed by both Tagore and Curtis.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), "American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher who is best known for having lived the doctrines of Transcendentalism, recording his experience in his masterwork Walden (1854)...Early in the spring of 1845, Thoreau, then 27 years old, began to build a home on the shores of Walden Pond, a lake two miles south of Concord on land Emerson owned. From the outset the move gave him profound satisfaction. When not busy weeding his bean rows and trying to protect them from hungry woodchucks or occupied with fishing, swimming, or rowing, he spent long hours observing and recording the local flora and fauna, reading, writing A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849), and making entries in his journals, which later he would polish and include in Walden, a series of 18 essays describing his experiment in basic living. Thoreau stayed for two years at Walden Pond" (Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature). Allen pp. 52-53. HBS 69494. $4,000.

Description
viii, 185 pp. Small 8vo, attractive antique calf-backed paste paper boards, spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Paris: Muzier, 1772. An uncommon catalogue describing the famed collection of the Crozat dynasty of collectors. Louis Antoine (1700-70), a general and sophisticated collector in his own right, was the son of Antoine Crozat (1655-1738), and the nephew of Pierre Crozat (1665-1740), both wealthy merchants — though Pierre was ironically known as “Crozat le Pauvre,” compared to his brother who was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Paris. Together, they patronized Watteau and other Rococo artists, and amassed one of the most important private art collections of the 18th century. Upon Pierre’s death, the art passed to Louis Antoine and his two brothers, who all considerably supplemented the family’s collections. Finally, with the death of Louis Antoine, who had no male heirs, the Crozat collection was put up for sale. Diderot and François Tronchin, one of the first collectioneurs-marchands, acted as the agents for the sale of about 400 paintings to Catherine the Great for the enormous sum of 460,000 livres. The rest of the collection is described herein, including a formidable collection of prints, illustrated books and books of prints (nos. 672-865), ceramics, sculpture, scientific instruments, and various curiosities, such as a telescope, microscopes, a bronze moving sphere, and a machine pneumatique devised by Abbé Nollet. 1125 lots, of which 194 are important illustrated books and bound collections of prints. Lot 672 is a thoroughly described ensemble of the works of Jacques Callot bound in red morocco. Nice copy. ❧ Lugt 2004. N.B.G., Vol. 12, cols. 552-55.

Signature of the printer, P. Bassand, trimmed. A small repair at top of the print. Generally, very good.[with:]CLEMENT, Alexandre after BOILLY, Louis Léopold. Réunion d'artistes. [Paris, 1804]. Lower center, below image: Messieurs [followed by a numbered list of the names of the 29 artists depicted in the print]; bottom center: Deposée à la Bibliothèque en l'An 13. Etching in outline technique (39.5 x 34.1 cm). Trimmed inside the platemark, with loss at top edge, torn and wrinkled with some loss of image and text; several repairs to the print. A stipple engraving and a related print in outline technique by Alexandre Clément (c. 1775 - c. 1808), after Réunion d'artistes dans l'atelier d'Isabey ("A Reunion of Artists in Isabey's Studio"), a painting by Louis Léopold Boilly (1761-1845), which enjoyed great popularity at the time. Shown for the first time at the Salon of 1798, the painting brought Boilly considerable success and was subsequently acquired by the Louvre. The print portrays only the heads of the men featured in Boilly's painting, assembling them in a peculiar constellation, surrounded by clouds--a snapshot of the French artistic scene in the late eighteenth century. The portraits belong to 29 men, prominent in the arts at the turn of the century, most of whom were part of the circle of Joséphine Bonaparte. Among others, they include the composer Etienne Nicolas Mehul (1763-1817); the Romantic painter Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758-1823), Josephine's favorite painter; the court painter Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1767-1855); French architects and interior designers Charles Percier (1764-1838) and Pierre François Léonard Fontaine (1762-1853), who were crucial in developing Napoleon's iconic Empire style with their numerous building and decorative projects; and the actor Nicola-Pierre Baptiste Anselme (1761-1835). The simultaneously printed etching in outline technique accompanying the engraving was intended to help art collectors identify the 29 artists depicted. The "artistes" are numbered 1-29 in the print and named in the explanatory key below the image. Several institutions in the U.S. own the engraving, but only a few appear to have both the engraving and the accompanying etching, including the Met, the Blaffer Art Museum (Houston, TX), and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. *Weigel 3529; BM 2012,7027.1 & BM 1882,0311.1242; Clifton, A Portrait of the Artist, 1525–1825: Prints from the Collection of the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation (2005), cat. no. 29, p. 78; DeLorme, Joséphine and the Arts of the Empire (2005), pp. 10-13.

Description
Paris: J.G. Dentu, 1811. FIRST EDITION. Contemporary calf, spine label (a bit worn); interior fine. First edition of one of the first important studies on artificial and natural somnambulism. The author reaffirms that the major difference between artificial and natural somnambulism lies in the dependence of the magnetized (hypnotized) subject in relation to the magnetizer in the case of artificial somnambulism. He observes the changes in consciousness in a state of magnetic sleep, which will open the way to the notion of “unconscious”. He also provides an actual description of the magnetizing process. In detailing various cases he reveals manifestations of patients, abilities of practitioners, and discusses the dangers of the use of magnetic somnambulism. Puységur (1751-1825) was a disciple of Mesmer and known as the discoverer of magnetic somnambulism. Despite no formal medical training, he taught himself and thereafter practiced magnetic therapy. “It was while working with mesmerism that he discovered what he called somnambulism which eventually evolved into today’s hypnotism ... [He] recognized that the trance provided an opportunity to muster the mind’s power to aid the patient.” Even after Mesmer decided that a trance was an unwanted phenomenon, Puysegur continued to collect data and developed a therapeutic regimen which involved what today we would call posthypnotic suggestion.

Between the front endpapers are two letters of correspondence between Wilson and Gardiner: a carbon copy of Gardiner's letter to Wilson and Wilson's reply, written entirely in his hand. Shelved in Rm. A. The Nuremberg Chronicle (also known as the "Liber Chronicarum") "is, after the Gutenberg Bible, probably the most celebrated of early printed books. It is a compendium of history, geography and the wonders of the world as viewed from medieval Nuremberg, with some 1800 illustrations provided by the multiple use, for different subjects, of 645 beautiful woodblocks..." (n.b., quote from "The Nuremberg Chronicle Designs" by Adrian Wilson, printed for The Roxburghe Club of San Francisco and the Zamorano Club of Los Angeles, 1969). Wilson became renowned for his printing and book design work at his San Francisco printing operation, The Press at Tuscany Valley, throughout the 1960s and 70s. In 1967, he released influential title in the genre of Books on Books, THE DESIGN OF BOOKS. Book making perforated the entirety of Wilson's life. With the help and interest of his wife, Joyce Lancaster Wilson, Wilson invested his attention in studying the entire production process of THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE, the first known book to include a rudimentary map of Europe, a plethora of woodcuts, and a history of the world beginning at creation. The book that came out of it, Wilson's THE MAKING OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE, is an astute and thorough study on one of the earliest examples of exemplary book making. This particular copy includes correspondence between William Gardiner, an English author, and Adrian Wilson. 1395292. Special Collections.

1958. [with wraparound band] London: The Hogarth Press, 1958. Original blue cloth, with dust jacket and "Book Society" wraparound band. First Edition of this collection of 27 essays -- 13 on "The Art of Fiction" and 14 on "The Art of Biography" -- most of which had appeared as unsigned reviews, now brought to light by VW's biographer and by her bibliographer (as noted by Leonard Woolf in his "Editorial Note"). Authors covered include Sterne, Raleigh, Johnson, Burney, Walpole, Austen, the Brontës, Poe, Holmes, Whitman, James, Mansfield -- even Hemingway ("Men Without Women"). This volume is in fine condition except for some faint darkening and foxing in the page margins. The jacket (designed by Vanessa Bell) is lightly browned on the spine and has a few short closed edge-tears; there is a "British Book Centre" sticker covering the price on the front flap. Included is the scarce red "Recommended by The Book Society" wraparound band (which recommendation is also noted on the front flap of the jacket) -- likewise faded at the spine. The front paste-down bears a lightly-penciled signature dated 15 September 1958, three months after publication. Kirkpatrick A34a.

Description
New York: Benj. R. Tucker, 1897. Second Edition. Octavo. Publisher's blue-gray cloth boards, lettered in gilt on spine; blind-stamped decorative borders to front board; red edge-stain; frontispiece portrait; x,[1]-512,[1]pp. A slightly worn copy; boards evenly rubbed and soiled, with board exposure at upper corner-tips and rubbing to cloth at spine ends; both hinges thinly cracked (but holding); text clean and unmarked. A sound, Good or better copy. Perhaps the clearest exposition ever published of individualist anarchism, written by the movement's foremost exponent in America. The work is comprised of selections from Tucker's voluminous, incisive, often acidic articles in his long-running journal Liberty. These are arranged thematically, in chapters such as "The Individual, Society, and the State;" "Money and Interest;" "Land and Rent;" "Socialism;" "Communism;" etc. Tucker, who had a reputation for not questioning the fallibility of his own ideas, clearly intended the book to be used as a sort of "Bible" of anarchism, a notion alluded to in Paul Avrich's 1973 interview with Tucker's daughter Oriole, who stated, "...the whole family lived an anarchistic life. When I asked a question - like how in the world would we get along without police - Father would say look it up on page so and so of Instead of a Book..." (Avrich, Anarchist Portraits. Princeton: 1988 p.151). This second edition is on noticeably inferior paper (the 1893 edition bulks a full quarter inch thicker) and is rather more commonly seen in commerce than the moderately scarce first. Still, a presentable copy of a cornerstone work in the American anarchist canon. NURSEY-BRAY (Anarchist Thinkers & Thought: An Annotated Bibliography) 928.

Minor storage wear, slight curling at top and bottom, minor corner creasing. Near fine. Mega-talented Connie Francis hit her stride in 1960 when she was recognized worldwide as the most successful female singing artist. It was her album of Italian favorites in 1959 that broke all chart records. Because of this Hollywood called and she made her film debut in this well-remembered musical comedy. For a few years MGM did their best to make her a star, but the musical genre that she was expert in lost audience interest as the '60s became an entirely different time. Large format montage photos such as this kept her front and center with the fans.

Description
[Paris]: Éditions du Seuil, 2001. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. Two volumes (complete), octavo size, approx. 1530 pp., all text in French. Paul Celan (1920-1970) was born Paul Antschel in Romania to a German-speaking Jewish family, his surname was later spelled Ancel and he eventually adopted the anagram Celan as his nom de plume. Celan lived in France and was influenced by the French surrealists but wrote his poetry in German (he was well versed in at least six languages, and also translated the work of many notable poets). In 1952, Celan married the artist Gisèle Lestrange (1926-1991); many of the works she produced after they met had links to the poetry of Paul Celan. This work, "Correspondance", publishes letters between the two, as well as some letters from Paul to his son, Eric (b. 1955). Please note that this entire work is in French. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in grey (Volume I) or black (Volume II) paper over boards, blind-debossed lettering on the spines, ribbon markers in corresponding colours; binding octavo size (9" by 5 3/4"), pagination: Vol. I, [1-6] 7-718 [1, colophon]; Vol. II, [1-6] 7-786 [14]. In dust jackets with a graphic design in grey on the front panels and spines, red and black lettering. Housed in a cardboard slipcase with a wrap-around black-and-white reproduction of a photograph of the couple. ___CONDITION: Volumes fine overall, the boards clean, straight corners without rubbing, strong, square text blocks with solid hinges, the interiors clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; note that the text block for Volume I was bound into the boards upside down, very minor bumping to the heads and tails, else fine. The jackets are near fine, clean, with corresponding light bumps to the heads and tails and a modicum of edgewear, including a short (approx. one-third inch) closed tear to the bottom of the front panel of Volume II. The cardboard slipcase near fine to fine, clean, without noticeable wear other than a corresponding bump to one of the top corners. ___POSTAGE: Please note that this is an unusually heavy set and additional postage may apply; 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.
