Seller
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description
1867-2011. Comprising 220 separate line items.. Most in publisher's bindings or original wrappers, several in limp leather, limp suede, or stiff vellum, a few nicely bound in half or full morocco, and TWO PICTORIAL MOROCCO BINDINGS, one by RIVIERE (with inlaid frame of brown stems, green leaves, and purple grapes), and the other by BAYNTUN (with a reclining figure in a turban under a moonlit sky, the scene framed by titling at top and bottom and a very handsome panel on the left and right with brown stems, green leaves, and purple grapes set against a densely stippled ground). Much of the collection with bindings showing light (and in some cases moderate) wear, contents with occasional minor foxing, soiling, and similar issues, the two fine bindings rejointed; but a good portion of the books in excellent condition, with only trivial issues. Amassed over the course of many years by a passionate collector of the Rubaiyat, this is a very substantial and wide-ranging group of 220 items that attest to the work's enduring popularity more than 150 years after Edward FitzGerald introduced it to the West. Son of a wealthy Irish landowner, FitzGerald had enough money to pursue a rather desultory literary career as a "genteel gipsy" (in Terhune's words) before beginning to study languages in middle age. He started his translation of the quatrains ("rubáiyát" in Persian) attributed to "Umar Khayyam" in 1856; according to DNB, about half of FitzGerald's final work paraphrases (rather than directly translates) portions of the 11th century poem, while the rest is original verse inspired by Omar. "The result is generally seen as being in some ways an original English poem, one that is much better known than Omar's poem is in Persian." (DNB) In Jewett's opinion, it certainly earned FitzGerald "a prominent place among the immortals of English literature." In 1858, FitzGerald submitted 25 of the "less wicked" verses to "Fraser's Magazine," only to be rejected. He had 250 copies published, anonymously, at his own expense, but had no luck selling them. Admitting defeat, he gave 200 copies to Quaritch; these sold so poorly that they were relegated to the penny bin, where Potter says they were discovered--and soon celebrated--by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Swinburne. Those copies that remained unsold when Quaritch moved to Piccadilly in 1860 were either lost or destroyed, but by 1861, Rossetti and his Pre-Raphaelite brethren, along with Celtic scholar Whitley Stokes, were evangelizing for the work, embracing the lush, lyrical verse that would move English poetry away from Victorian orthodoxy and convention. According to Day, by the end of the 19th century, "a copy of the 'Rubaiyat' upon an Oxford table was a symbol of sophistication. Today . . . it remains the most popular single poem of the Victorian era." The present collection contains a large number of editions with FitzGerald's text (the earliest examples being a Third Edition (1872), a Fourth Edition (1879), and the First Published American Edition (1878)), but it also contains a number of other important translations that followed thereafter, such as those by Justin Huntley McCarthy (First Edition, one of 60 copies on Large Paper), Eben Francis Thompson (First Edition, one of 485 copies signed by the translator), and Elizabeth Alden Curtis (First Edition, one of 600 copies), as well as translations into languages other than English, examples of which here include the First Edition in French (1867) and the First Edition in Yiddish (1926). The collection is especially strong in illustrated editions, with more than 40 different artists represented, including Edmund Dulac, Elihu Vedder, Willy Pogany, Florence Lundborg, Adelaide Hanscom, Gilbert James, Edmund J. Sullivan, Arthur Szyk, and Stephen Gooden. It also contains an impressive selection of fine press material, including limited editions issued by the Vale Press, Gregynog Press, Thomas Mosher, Essex House, the Roycrofters, and the Shakespeare Head Press, as well as rare and important examples by lesser-known presses such as the Philosopher Press of Wausau, Wisconsin, and the Blue Sky Press of Chicago. While most of the books here come in their original bindings, there is a small group of fine bindings that include two sumptuous examples of pictorial morocco by Riviere and Bayntun. Satirical adaptations with titles like "The Rubaiyat of the Egg" and "The Rubaiyat of a Persian Kitten" inject a little humor into the group, and demonstrate the work's broad influence. Finally, there is useful reference material, including a special copy of Potter's bibliography (one of 50 signed and numbered copies on special paper), providing important context and scholarly resources. There are no duplicated editions in this collection, and there are no trade paperbacks. A full list of the collection's contents is available upon request..

Description
New York: Published by John S. Taylor, 1836. Second edition. Good. Following the Boston edition of 1833. Octavo. 216 pp. Lacking flyleaves, otherwise complete. Contemporary teal cloth with spine titled in gilt. Foxing and some wear to corners. Contemporary paper numerical label to upper board. Some foxing throughout. A Good+ copy of one of the cornerstone works of the abolitionist movement, in which Child exposes the violence of chattel slavery in the South as well as the violence of systemic racism in the North. "When Lydia Maria Child issued her Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans, she had been enjoying dizzying popularity for almost a decade. Child had burst upon the literary scene at the age of twenty-two, with her novel Hobomok, whose double violation of the taboos against miscegenation and divorce had simultaneously scandalized and titillated her contemporaries...North American Review ranked her highest among women writers of the day, and the most prestigious publishers vied for her favor" (Karcher). This work of overt social activism made sense for a writer with an elevated platform. She now had the ability to voice her views about the stories of women and of enslaved people being intertwined, with both groups defined by white men "in terms of ownership" whose positions within "economic transaction reveal the perversion of paternity into the profits of bondage" and the denial of human dignity (Sanchez-Eppler). Within the work, Child forces her readers to confront the horrors of the Middle Passage and the ongoing violence of hereditary chattel slavery; but she does not only take the South to task. The North, too, participates in systemic racism; and she argues that equality can only come by ending anti-miscegenation laws; eliminating the segregation of public spaces such as churches, schools, theaters, and transportation; providing equal access to education and employment; and addressing all levels of racist attitudes. Outrage among white readers was loud and widespread, and some predicted the end of Child's career. The Boston Athenaeum revoked her library card to prevent future research; additionally, "her Boston benefactors, scared off by their association with a newly born radical abandoned her, and family and friends who did not share her abolitionists stance avoided her" (Bergren). Yet her work sparked among activists a new dialogue about abolition and white supremacy; and it drew a number of influential people including Charles Sumner and Wendell Phillips to a cause that would continue to build strength. "From this point on, Child's career was defined by her participation in the anti-slavery movement" (Bergren). BAL 3116. Sabin 12711. Good.

Description
London: Jonathan Cape, 1965. First edition. Fine/Fine. First printing. Second state binding without the gilt gun to the upper board. A Fine copy in like dust jacket. Pinpoint smudge to closed edge of text block, otherwise an excellent example. Price-clipped dust jacket clean and vibrant. A very attractive copy. Published a year after Ian Fleming's death, The Man with the Golden Gun is the final James Bond novel written by its original creator. Fleming's health rapidly decreased while writing the book and though he finished a draft of the novel in 1964, he never fully re-worked it. After Fleming's death, the novel was published in the United Kingdom and then serialized in The Daily Express and Playboy. Ironically, in this novel, Bond is presumed dead before returning to London. He's been brainwashed by the Soviet Union and attempts to assassinate "M." After regaining his senses, Bond is sent to the Caribbean to assassinate Francisco Scaramanga, known as "the Man with the Golden Gun.". Fine in Fine dust jacket.

Description
Park Place, New York: Knapp & Company, 1890. Very good. Lightly toned. The occasional minor short tear, some rubbed. Scrapbook residue and/or lacking litho on verse some booklets (removed from album?). A partial set of miniature chromolithographed biographies (44 present here), published as part of an advertising campaign for Duke Brand Cigarettes. Each was issued in a box of cigarettes in a "collect-them-all"-type marketing ploy. Each measures approx. 3" by 1.5", is approx. 16 pp., and stapled in original chromolithographed illustrated wrappers. The wrappers are particularly well-designed, and feature a portrait of the subject on the upper wrapper, and an allegorical/metaphorical illustration on the lower wrapper that matches that figure's accomplishments. For example, the lower wrapper on the biography of Gen. U.S. Grant shows union soldier charging to victory beneath the stars and stripes. Facsimile signature inside cover. 13 pp. each. This set is lacking six: Forrest, Ewell, Butler, Hood, Sherman, and Rosencrans as well as several of the women figures, such as Sarah Bernhardt.

[Utrecht, 1857. Illustrated broadside, 17 x 13.75 inches, with large illustration at top printed in black, and title and body text printed in gold in three columns. Old folds, minor toning around edges, a few short closed tears, two small repairs on verso to short line separations, light surface wear and soiling. Overall very good. A rare lamplighters' address, akin to the American postal carrier's address, issued by the "Lantaarnopstekers" of Utrecht on New Year's Day, 1857. The illustration at top shows a lamplighter in the midst of his work, carrying a ladder and basket of tools to the next street lamp in a handsome Utrecht neighborhood. The remainder of the broadside, consisting of the lengthy title and three-column poem in six eight-line stanzas, is printed entirely in gold. The poem is, naturally, almost entirely a celebration of light, the sun, and fire. The work is dedicated to the mayor, aldermen, and residents of Utrecht, located in the central part of the Netherlands. OCLC reports two slightly later examples of New Year's addresses by night watchmen, but nothing from lamplighters.

Vellum shows moderate creasing and foxing throughout. Shelved at Rockville Room J (MW Shelf). Drew Female Seminary (often informally called "Drew Female College") was a 19th-century Methodist-affiliated girls' school located in Carmel, New York, established in the 1840s to provide advanced education for young women at a time when female academies were expanding across the Northeast. Named for benefactor Daniel Drew, the seminary offered instruction beyond basic schooling, including literature, languages, music, moral philosophy, and other subjects designed to prepare women for teaching, refinement, and intellectual development within the era's social expectations. Like many female seminaries of the period, it combined religious instruction with academic coursework and operated during a time when women's higher education was gradually gaining acceptance prior to the rise of coeducational colleges and women's universities later in the century. 1409581.
