Title: Chaseki okoshiezu 茶席起繪圖 [Folding Drawings of the Famous Teahouses]
Author: TEA HOUSE ARCHITECTURAL POP-UPS
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: A complete collection of 90 intricate architectural models of tea house designs, with dimensions and components printed lithographically, each design housed in a large folding envelope, manuscript titles on outside of each envelope. The two sets of 45 models are each stored in the two original publisher's boxes, with a printed list pasted to the inside of the lid of both boxes, as issued. A total of 90 envelopes (folded: 255 x 172 mm.). [Japan]: ca. 1920s-30s. A remarkable creation, a complete set of 90 elaborate architectural pop-ups of tea ceremony houses and related structures, as well as interior features like benches, shelves, boxes, shutters, ceilings, etc. In Japan, paper pop-up models have been used since at least the 16th century as a primary means of communication between carpenters and their patrons, particularly in the construction of tea houses. Precise notes for carpenters and builders have been lithographed on to the numerous flaps. A symbol of sophistication and wealth, tea houses were in great demand in early 20th-century Japan. It is possible that these pop-ups functioned as a trade catalogue from which clients could pick their preferred size and specifications. Printed labels affixed to the inside of the wooden box lids list all 90 models. The pop-up flaps are attached to floor plans of different sizes and designs. There are notes regarding tea houses designed or favored by famous figures and schools in tea ceremony history. The primary folding flaps consist of exterior and interior walls, ceilings, alcoves, and passageways. The flaps contain detailed drawings on both sides depicting the interior decor, windows and their decorations, passageways, bathrooms, etc. Attached to the wall flaps are more flaps, which show smaller interior objects including boxes, shelves, display alcoves (tokonoma), benches, etc. The purpose of these pop-up plans was to allow an experienced builder to visualize and construct an entire building from the plans themselves. "The okoshi-ezu has no real counterpart in Western drawing...Okoshi-ezu are extraordinary in that they are both easy to understand and extremely comprehensive - a combination that is usually mutually exclusive in architectural drawing, where legibility tends to decline as the density of information increases. This quality makes okoshi-ezu drawings extremely helpful in studying the buildings they represent. Indeed, okoshi-ezu provided such a complete description of the design that they were often used as the basis for the common practice of copying teahouses; the dimensional and specification information they included meant they could be used as construction drawings. These drawings could communicate so much with so little because their representational qualities were so similar to the actual architecture they represented - thin walls wrapped around cubic spaces to create highly refined and specific compositions of material, space, and light."-Andrew Barrie, "Okoshi-ezu: Speculations on Thinness," in Interstices 11 (online resource). The name of Sakata Sakujirō 坂田作治郎 appears on both printed labels on the lids; he was a tea ceremony utensil merchant in Osaka. Our set is in fine condition. A small number of the envelopes have minor foxing; the models are intact and pristine. ❧ See Japanese Architecture and Art Net Users System (JAANUS) for a helpful explanation of the uses of okoshi-ezu and tate-ezu 建絵図.

The fabulous imagination of Edward William Cooke (1811-1880) in a book. Cooke was part of a family of engravers and artists, and a noted landscape and marine painter. He was a contemporary of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and certainly influenced by Darwin's voyage and the writings of his discoveries. With a poke at natural history, he places the word "Entwickelungsgeschichte," (German for "Developmental History") before the title. This humorous collection of drawings of imaginary animals is accompanied by brief, equally humorous, descriptions.

Title: “Cato” (William Smith, first Provost of College of Philadelphia) Opposes Common Sense, and “Cassandra” (Penn’s Professor of Mathematics) Answers
Author: [THOMAS PAINE]
Seller: Seth Kaller, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: "you have only entertained us with some loose declamations upon abuses in the English government; and shocked us, for want of better arguments, by a perversion of things sacred; filling the papers with personal invectives, and calumnies against all who cannot swallow, at a venture, every crude notion, you may cook up as the politics of the day. This will as little agree with the stomachs of others as with mine; although I have declared that, when the last necessity comes, I have no expedient in view but to take my chance with you, for better and for worse." "Liberty or Slavery is now the question. Let us but fairly discover to the inhabitants of these Colonies on which side Liberty has erected her banner and we will leave it to them to determine whether they would choose Liberty tho' accompanied with war, or Slavery attended by peace." [THOMAS PAINE]. Newspaper. The Pennsylvania Ledger: Or the Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, & New-Jersey Weekly Advertiser, April 13, 1776. Including Cato's Letter VI, "To the People of Pennsylvania," attacking Common Sense on political and religious grounds. This issue also prints the first part of Letter II by "Cassandra" [James Cannon]. Philadelphia: James Humphreys Jr. 4 pp., 10 x 16 in. Excerpts -Cato's Letter VI "I charged the author of Common Sense with perverting the Scripture in his account of the origin of the Jewish monarchy.... this matter must be treated more seriously, for the sake of a country, in which (God be thanked) the Scriptures are read and regarded with that reverence which is due to a revelation from Heaven; I must therefore endeavour to rescue, out of our author's hands, that portion of the sacred history, which he has converted into a lible against the civil constitution of Great-Britain...." (p1/c1) "Here our author erects his standard, and here he compliments himself with the mockery of triumph.... 'That the Almighty hath here entered his protest against monarchial government is true, or the scripture is false.'—But I will take the liberty to say, that the scripture is true, and that this author's inference is horribly false.... the Almighty would have as strongly expressed his displeasure against the Jews, had they rejected his government for one of their own appointment whether it had been Monarchial or Democratical—to be administered by one man or a thousand men." (p1/c2) "I contend for this—That where a people are left to chuse their own forms of government as has been the case of all the world for some thousand years, there is no particular denounciation of God's displeasure against any Form whether Monarchial or Democratical, under which such a people may think their civil happiness best secured, and their duty to God best performed… You call on me to shew my plan? I have done it… a safe return to a connection with our ancient friends and kindred, accompanied with all the advantages we have formerly experienced, and perhaps more; which I trust are things yet practicable; or, if it should prove otherwise, we can lose nothing by the exercise of deliberation and wisdom in the mean while." (p4/c2) "although you ought to have counted the cost of your work, and have tried to reconcile with your design, a multitude of interests, commercial, political, and oeconomical—you have only entertained us with some loose declamations upon abuses in the English government; and shocked us, for want of better arguments, by a perversion of things sacred; filling the papers with personal invectives, and calumnies against all who cannot swallow, at a venture, every crude notion, you may cook up as the politics of the day. This will as little agree with the stomachs of others as with mine; although I have declared that, when the last necessity comes, I have no expedient in view but to take my chance with you, for better and for worse." (p4/c2) Excerpts - Cassandra to Cato, Number II "Your talent lies in strong painting and declamation, and you expect to hold up such a terrific picture to the imaginations of the people, as will effectually frighten them into submission...." (p2/c1) "I agree with the Common Man thus far, that some propositions he mentions ought, one day, to be discussed; but as there is one point not only prior to any of them, but of infinitely greater importance that [than] them all, viz, an absolute security for the enjoyment of our liberties… when it shall be fairly proved that our rights can be as effectually secured in a state of dependency as in an independent state, then, and not before, will be the proper time to examine which would be most to our advantage." (p2/c1) "Those freemen who nobly refuse to be ridden by a King, Lords and Commons will scarcely be tame enough to take Cato and his party on their backs." (p2/c1) "Slavery is certainly a much more terrible evil in every respect than war. For the evils of war are both tolerable and temporary, while the miseries of slavery are intolerable and endless… Liberty or Slavery is now the question. Let us but fairly discover to the inhabitants of these Colonies on which side Liberty has erected her banner and we will leave it to them to determine whether they would choose Liberty tho' accompanied with war, or Slavery attended by peace." (p2/c2) "The present contest is a contest of constitutions, and the war a war of legislatures.... it is, in fact, become a war between the people of Great-Britain and the people of America.... so far as the present is a contest of constitutions, the Parliament has evidently won the field; for the whole force of the legislature of Great-Britain has been, from the first day of the controversy, armed against us, but we have in no one instance been able to call forth the strength of our legislatures to oppose, nay, we have constantly had them against us ready to join the foe.... It is because our legislatures are dependent on our very enemy and theirs is independent of us." (p2/c2) "Both the King and Parliament of Great-Britain are the choice of the people of Great-Britain; but tho' our Assemblies are our choice, our Governors are not; they are either nominated by the King of Great-Britain, or some one of his British subjects, which effectually destroys their utility to us in this and every such controversy...." (p2/c2) Additional Content Includes Philadelphia printer Robert Bell's front-page advertisement of Additions to Plain Truth, written by Loyalist James Chalmers (1734-1806). Born in Scotland and now of Chestertown, Maryland, Chalmers, as "Candidus," rebuts Common Sense. (Bell (1732-1784) had published the first edition of Common Sense, but Paine parted ways after Bell claimed there were no profits to divide though the first 1,000 copies sold out immediately.) Also included are a report of the seizure of Governor's Island in New York harbor by patriots (p2/c3); "Plan of the American Compact," reprinted from the New-York Packet, proposing eight points that would preserve the rights of freemen to Americans in continued union with Great Britain (p3/c1-2); notice of the creation of a gun lock factory in Philadelphia (p3/c2-3); a series of resolutions by the Second Continental Congress, including "Resolved, That no slaves be imported into any of the Thirteen United Colonies." (p4/c2); and advertisements and notices, including one offering a $4 reward for the return of a deserter from the ship Reprisal (p3/c3). Historical Background William Smith first published his series of eight letters in the Pennsylvania Gazette in March and April 1776. They were reprinted almost immediately in the Pennsylvania Ledger, and in newspapers in Connecticut, Virginia, New York, and other colonies. Paine responded to Smith's "Cato" letters with a series of four letters signed "The Forester," first printed in the Pennsylvania Journal in April and May. Paine's third Forrester letter dismissed offhand Cato's fourth through seventh letters, "as they contain but little matter..." Paine then asserted that Cato's fifth through seventh letters, "entirely deserts the subject of Independence, and sets up the proud standard of Kings, in preference to a Republican form of Government…. Cato shelters himself chiefly in quotations from other authors, without reasoning much on the matter himself.... Cato may observe that I scarcely ever quote; the reason is I always think." William Smith (1727-1803), born in Scotland, attended the University of Aberdeen and became an Anglican priest. In 1753, his pamphlet on education caused Benjamin Franklin and Richard Peters to persuade him to come to America. Smith became the first provost of the College of Philadelphia (now University of Pennsylvania), serving from 1755 to 1779 despite his attacks on Quakers, the political elite of Pennsylvania. Though he opposed Common Sense, he had served on the Philadelphia Committee of Correspondence in 1774, and was sympathetic to the patriot cause. After being forced to leave British occupied Philadelphia, he helped found Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, in 1782, and became its first president. James Cannon (1740-1782) was born in Edinburgh and educated at the University of Edinburgh and the College of Philadelphia, graduating in 1767. In 1773, he returned to Philadelphia as a professor of mathematics. He was a leader of the city's radical faction campaigning for independence. Although moderates won a majority of the seats in the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly on May 1, 1776, the radicals persuaded the Continental Congress to suppress local governments that derived their authority from the Crown. The Provincial Assembly voted itself out of existence. Cannon was one of the two principal drafters of the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776, which operated until 1790. His three Cassandra letters challenged Cato's conservatism. Cannon didn't attack the monarchy generally (as Paine had), but argued that America should not be governed by a British monarch. The Pennsylvania Ledger (1775-1778) was a weekly newspaper published under variant titles in Philadelphia by James Humphreys Jr. (1748-1810). Accused of being a Tory, Humphreys was driven from town, but he returned to Philadelphia and restarted the Ledger during the nine-month British occupation. When the British left Philadelphia, Humphreys closed the Ledger and left with them. He settled in New York for a time and by 1785 had moved to Nova Scotia, where he published a newspaper and was a merchant. By 1797, he had returned to Philadelphia, where he was a printer.

Within 15 years, the show was one of the biggest, tented, three-ring ones around. The entire family, relatives and children, performed, including the 4-year-old daughter, who began riding the elephants at the age of 4. The Strongs retired and sold the circus in 1983.
