Description
Nov. 3, 1905. Not matted; not mounted.. Very good.. A watercolor on grey paper meas. appx. 127 x 178 mm. Pencil note across the back: Burial at Sea / by H. Bacon / [Nice large?] painting / from this original / sketch is in one of / the museums I have / forgotten where [which?]. Initials HB appear on the lower front left corner; dated in the right front corner. Henry Bacon was an American artist who worked for the Frank Leslie Weekly as a Civil War illustrator. He was badly wounded at the Second Bull Run. He spent most of the rest of his life in Paris and after 1900 in Egypt during winters. This accomplished watercolor served as the preliminary sketch of a larger, unidentified work and is uncharacteristic of the French genre scenes he is known for.

From the dust jacket- "Joy Adamson is known to millions by her books describing the story of Elsa, the Kenya lioness, and her cubs. This volume tells of another and equally remarkable experience. It reveals her gift as an artist and shows that she is as interested in people as she is in animals. A talented painter of flowers, when she first came to Kenya she made many paintings of the flora of the country. But soon she wanted to portray also the African tribesmen, with their traditional ornaments. The undertaking demanded courage, endurance, tact, and a great capacity for work. She would need to spend a long time in isolated places, often among people not immediately willing to pose as models... "After she started off on her own financial risk, the Kenya authorities commissioned her to make a comprehensive pictorial record of the traditional costumes of the African tribes. She spent six and a half years traveling and living among the different peoples of Kenya. During that period she created a unique record of ornamental costumes fast disappearing under the impact of modern life.

Octavo, slick brown boards (hardcover), gilt letters, ribbon marker, 496 pp. Former-owner bookplate; otherwise, Fine, in a Very Good+ dust jacket with sunned spine. From dust jacket: From Emperor to Citizen is the autobiography of the man who was the last emperor of China and later, puppet emperor of “Manchukuo,” Japanese imperialism’s pseudo-state in China’s Northeast. The book begins with the author giving a vivid picture of the last, decadent days of the Ching court. He reveals ho, after the overthrow of the dynasty, he and other feudal forces plotted with foreign powers to restore the monarchy, and how he became the Japanese imperialists’ puppet. He then goes on to describe his life as “Emperor of Manchukuo” and tells how he came into the hands of the Chinese people’s government. He gives a lively account of his remoulding through labour and study in prisons for war criminals, relating how his thinking changed. The final chapter tells about his new life after his pardon as an ordinary citizen of People’s China.
