Description
Paris: Un Bureau du Journal Les Modes Parisiennes, 1865. Parisian High Society" COMPTE-CALIX, Francois-Claudius. Six Tableaux de Compte Calix. Scènes Coloriées de la Bonne Compagnie Parisienne. Paris: Un Bureau du Journal Les Modes Parisiennes, [1865]. Oblong folio (10 5/8 x 15 inches; 270 x 381 mm.). Lithograph title-page and six fine hand colored engraved plates by A. Portier after Compte-Calix. Modern half dark red morocco over marbled boards, smooth spine lettered in gilt. A very fine copy of this very uncommon title. OCLC & KVK locate just two copies in libraries and institutions worldwide: Bibiliotheque d'Art et Archeologie (Switzerland) and the Biblioteca Nacional de Espana (Spain). Interestingly the Bibiliotheque d'Art et Archeologie give two dates of publication, 1840 and 1865, whilst the Biblioteca Nacional de Espana give the date of publication as 1860. Colas and Lipperheide both give the date of publication as ca. 1865. Francois Claudius Compte-Calix (1813-1880) was a French painter, illustrator, and lithographer best known for his refined genre scenes and fashion illustrations, particularly those portraying elegant life in 18th- and 19th-century France. He Studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, a notable center for academic and decorative arts in the 19th century. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1840 to 1878, gaining attention for his delicate, romanticized depictions of aristocratic and bourgeois life. "Six Tableaux de la Bonne Compagnie Parisienne" (c. 1865), is one of his most notable suites with hand-colored engravings showing Parisian high society in stylish settings. The plates: 1. Le Traineau (The Sleigh) 2. L'hotel du Faubourg St. Germain (The Hotel Faubourg Saint-Germain) 3. La Visite de Voisinage (The Neighborhood Visit) 4. Le Salon de Loge à l'Opéra (The Dressing Room at the Opera) 5. L'Exposition d'Horticulture (The Horticulture Exhibition) 6. Une bonne Action (A Good Deed) Colas 676; Lipperheide 1173; Not in Bobins.

Description
1897. With Illustrations by I.W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co., 1897. 2 pp undated ads. Original blue cloth pictorially decorated in gilt, all page edges gilt. First English Edition, published about a month after the American. This is Kipling's great novel about the cod fishing fleet of Gloucester Massachusetts, written while the newlywed Kiplings lived in Vermont. Kipling freely acknowledged that the book owed much to Dr. James Conland of Brattleboro, who brought the Kiplings' elder daughter into the world -- for Conland had been a member of the Massachusetts fishing fleet, and it was he who took Kipling to explore the wharves and quays of Boston and Gloucester. (The American edition, in fact, is dedicated to Conland; this English edition bears no dedication.) This is the only book of Kipling's which is set entirely in America. All the characters are American. Not only that, but the heart of the book -- its moral in a single sentence -- is one of Kipling's main beliefs of this period expressed in terms essentially American, or perhaps more particularly New England. He put it later in verse: "...If you don't work you will die!" It is a saga of hard physical work in conflict with natural forces. It is a book which could hardly have been written by anyone who did not admire Huckleberry Finn; it is a book whose claim to survival rests mainly on detail, and it is all American detail [Mason]. CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS was the fourth and last volume to be bound in Macmillan's attractive gift binding style used for the JUNGLE BOOKs in 1894-1895 and for SOLDIER TALES in 1896. In 1937, forty years after publication, this tale was made into a film starring Freddie Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy (who won an Oscar), Lionel Barrymore and Mickey Rooney. This is a near-fine copy (spine less than bright, slight rubbing at the extremities, light foxing); the original black-coated endpapers are not cracked. Richards A103; Stewart 163.
