Description
Chicago: Geo. M. Hill Co, 1901. First edition. Fine. Small quarto (8 5/16 x 6 3/8 inches; 211 x 162 mm.). [viii], [13]-225, [226], [2, blank] pp. Inscribed on recto of advertisement leaf "To the coming man if / not already came) / Harold McGrath / with the most obstinate / admiration of his friend / L Frank Baum. / Chicago / September / 6th 1901". Publisher's pictorial tan cloth. Front cover pictorially decorated in red, black and gilt, rear cover pictorially decorated in red and black, spine decorated in red and black. Original pictorial endpapers in red, black and tan, front free endpaper chipped at edge. The front hinge and the spine extremities and corners have been expertly restored. Affixed to the verso of the front free endpaper is a folded page of the original manuscript containing the first twenty lines of page 196. Housed in a felt-lined quarter black morocco over black cloth clamshell case, spine with five raised bands decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments. A fantastic presentation copy to a fellow major author where L. Frank Baum has included a fine page of his original manuscript. Affixed to the verso of the front free endpaper is a folded page of the original manuscript containing the first twenty lines of page 196. "I am sure of that, Mr. Split," answered / the Queen. Dot and Tot had been so astonished / at all this that they had stood / perfectly still[without speaking,] / and (without) noticing this Mr. Split came / toward them [and,](with his key raised) raising his key, / (and said) he asked, briskly: / "Where are your key[-] holes[,] my dears? / You must have run down." "Oh, no!" cried Dot, shrinking back; / "We're--we're alive!" / "Oh, that is different," returned the / man, with a laugh. "I'm glad / you are not to be wound up, for I / am so busy now that there ought / to be three or four of me instead / of two." / "You're funny," remarked Tot, who / had been staring at Mr. Split. / "Thank you, sir," replied the man, / bowing politely. / "What are you made of?" asked the / [boy, curiously.] p. 196 the first twenty lines. Dot and Tot of Merryland was written after Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The story follows the adventures of a little girl named Evangeline "Dot" Freeland after she is sent to her rich father's country estate Roselawn to improve her health. She befriends gardener's son "Tot" Thompson, and the two are accidental transported to the magical country of Merryland. Merryland is made of seven valleys, arranged in a circular pattern connected by a river running through them, and each valley is populated by different magical beings (cats, dolls, candy, etc). Unlike The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dot and Tot of Merryland contained no tipped in color plates, but was filled with colored text illustrations, including four full page pictures, all by W. W. Denslow who had illustrated the three previous Baum books. The book is inscribed to Harold MacGrath (1871-1932), a best-selling and American novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter, who began his career as a reporter for the Syracuse Herland. MacGrath was Harold MacGrath writing across genres--including romance, mystery, and adventure--to popular success." MacGrath was one of the first nationally-known authors to write directly for the movies when the American Film Company hired him in 1912 to do the screenplay for a short Western. Eventually, eighteen of his novels and three short stories were made into films (three more were made into Broadway plays)" (Syracuse University). Fine.

Description
London: Robt. Riviere & Son, 1928. Special edition. Octavo (8 x 5 3/8 inches; 204 x 137 mm.). [ii, blank], [iii-viii], 75, [1, imprint] pp. With twelve illustrations by Gilbert James hand-colored and heightened with gold, and printed with blue initials for each stanza. Caslon Old Face type on Studio hand-made paper, some light marginal foxing to plates, otherwise fine. Bound ca. 1928 by Rivière & Son (stamp-signed on front turn-in) in full blue crushed levant morocco. Front cover with a central oval panel with an onlaid brown-spotted serpent twining around a large gilt chalice. This central panel is surrounded by a floral border of inlaid green flowers on orange stems with bunches of grapes in purple. Inside a double-ruled gilt border on each cover is stanza number fifty-eight "Oh, Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make, And who with Eden didst devise the Snake: For all the Sin wherewith the Face of Man Is blacken'd, Man's Forgiveness give - and take." Rear cover with a similar oval panel also surrounded by a floral border of inlaid green flowers on orange stems with bunches of grapes in purple, and with a single onlaid green flower and a central inlaid bunch of purple grapes. Spine with five raised bands decoratively bordered in gilt with inlaid purple morocco bunches of grapes in five of the panels and gilt lettered in the other, double gilt ruled board edges, elaborate gilt turn-ins, featuring a vine motif, marbled paper doublures and endleaves, all edges gilt. Upper joint expertly and almost invisibly repaired otherwise a near fine example of a late twenties Rivière 'Inlaid' binding. Engraved bookplate of Willsherr Lodge, the home of Samuel Clay Williams (1884-1949) lawyer and tobacco magnate, on front pastedown. "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" (Princeton). Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939, transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery," which is still in existence and family owned. A similar binding (but without the quotations on the borders of both covers) was sold in the Chevalier sale at Christie's New York, Friday November 9th, 1990, lot 63; it had been previously sold to Paul Chevalier by David Brass and then later to another private collector. Loosely inserted in the Chevalier copy was a pencilled note, identified by a second description as being in the hand of George Napier, an Edinburgh collector who commissioned a number of bindings. Napier explains his purchase of the book from Rivière in 1932 and that he commissioned the special border now decorating the book. He adds that "George" at Rivière's explained that the chalice and serpent motif was designed by Alberto Sangorski, brother of George Sangorski the binder, and concludes with the mention of the "Great Omar", which sank with the Titanic. Fitzgerald attributed the original work to the famed astronomer and mathematician Omar Khayyum, and this collection of quatrains rapidly became a favored text of the Pre-Raphaelites. "Like the Odyssey or the Vita Nuova [it] was once the most widely known and quoted work of Victorian poetry in the world," and its place in Western culture at the time was secured by Fitzgerald's "epigrammatic, sophisticated, often mordant verses [that] display Fitzgerald's adroitness in handling this stanza form" (Warner). Yet with rise of Modernism, the Rubaiyat fell out of style for a time, its lush and romantic orientalism considered out of step with the concerns of those who were living through a devastating World War. But the beautiful surviving copies in exceptional vellum, silk, and leather, alongside recently released critical editions, have helped draw attention back to the Rubaiyat's beauty and its role in inspiring so many monumental pieces of Victorian art and literature. Here illustrations by Gilbert James (1865-1941) illustrate the dramatic and sensorial prose.

Description
14 3/8 x 18 3/8 inches. Fine original hand color; slight split at centerfold, fine condition. A brilliant example in rich original hand color of the rare (and only) English language edition of the earliest printed, folio-size western map specifically of China and "the first to show the Great Wall"(Nebenzahl). "This map remained the standard type for the interior of China for over sixty years" (Tooley). Although 2 pocket-sized English language editions of an abbreviated version of Ortelius' Theatrum entitled Epitome were published previously in 1601 and 1603, with brief texts in English, the English text in the present edition runs to 2 large folio pages printed on the back of the map, giving an extensive description of China drawn from recent publications of observations by European travelers to the area, particularly Jesuits. With its three lushly designed cartouches and many illustrations of indigenous shelters, modes of transportation (i.e. the famous wind wagons) and animals, this is one of Ortelius's richest engravings and among his rarest. *Nebenzahl, Mapping the Silk Road and Beyond 4.6; van der Krogt 8410:31:051; Tooley, Maps and Mapmakers, p. 106, pl. 78 (p. 108); Walter, Japan: A Cartographic Vision 11F, p. 186.

Description
New York: Wm. Cobbett, 1800. First American Edition. 18mo, 155mm x 100mm. Contemporary paper-covered boards; vi,[1]-68pp. Boards worn, with losses to paper at spine ends; slight darkening to text, with faint tide-mark visible on rear endpapers; text complete and fresh. A Good, sound copy. A virulent anti-Jacobin, antifeminist tract that first appeared anonymously, in London, in 1798. It is the best-known (or at least most-cited) work by Richard Polwhele (1768-1838), an Anglican minister of Cornish birth who became a leading voice of reactionary moral conservatism during the Industrial Revolution. He was a frequent contributor to John Gifford's Anti-Jacobin Review, the leading Tory journal of the period, and, not surprisingly, a close associate of William Cobbett, under whose auspices the present volume was published in America. The poem is a vicious, heavy-handed attack upon a cadre of progressive British women authors that included Charlotte Turner Smith, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Ann Yearsley, and others, all of whom Polwhele accuses of having been infected with foreign (i.e. French) revolutionary ideas, and with trying to spread them among a susceptible British working-class. But the primary target for Polwhele's animus is Mary Wollstonecraft, whose Vindication of the Rights of Women had been published in 1792 to the general consternation of Anglican conservatives. Given existing attitudes towards Wollstonecraft among Tory commentators, it is no surprise that her death in childbirth in 1797, followed by the appearance of an intentionally scandalous biography by her husband (the philosopher William Godwin) a year later, spurred a cottage industry of anti-Wollstonecraft character assassination. The Unsex'd Females, published the same year as Godwin's Memoirs, fits precisely into this context, and does so in the most scurrilous ways imaginable, painting its subject as not only irreligious but as practically sub-human, a creature driven by animal instincts without regard for law whether human or divine: "...Nature is the grand basis of all laws human and divine: and the woman, who has no regard to nature, either in the decoration of her person, or the culture of her mind, will soon 'walk after the flesh, in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government." In what is perhaps the most alarming passage in the work, Polwhele implies that Wollstonecraft's death was a just reward for "...A woman who has broken through all religious restraints, will commonly be found ripe for every species of licentiousness...I cannot but think, that the Hand of Providence is visible, in her life, her death, and in [Godwin's] Memoirs themselves. As she was given up to her "heart's lusts," and let "to follow her own imaginations," that the fallacy of her doctrines and the effects of an irreligious conduct, might be manifested to the world; and as she died a death that strongly marked the distinction of the sexes..." That Polwhele's work would find its way to an American audience through the agency of the pugnacious pamphleteer and rabble-rouser William Cobbett is hardly a surprise. Cobbett had fled England for Philadelphia in 1792, and quickly established his reputation in America as a political pamphleteer of great skill and prolificity (his American writings, published under the pseudonym Peter Porcupine, were collected in twelve volumes in 1801). During this period, Cobbett's and Polwhele's political instincts were closely aligned (though Cobbett would make an about-turn to populist reform later in life), and there is some evidence that the two were directly acquainted (see Polwhele's Reminiscences, 1836, for examples of correspondence between Cobbett and himself). Cobbett's edition of The Unsex'd Females appeared in 1800, shortly before his return to England, and includes an essay by Polwhele - "A Sketch of the Private and Public Character of P. Pindar" - that is not present in the British editiion. All editions are uncommon in commerce, with no examples at auction in this century (and only two since 1966). WING W8134. EVANS 38293.

1968. [Propaganda][Counterculture] Ты / Uncle Sam Wants You! New York: International Poster Corp., 1968. Offset lithographic poster in red, black, and cream tones, measuring 21 x 29 inches. A striking Cold War-era visual pastiche that fuses Soviet revolutionary imagery with American military propaganda, this poster was issued during a peak moment of political unrest in the U.S., amid the Vietnam War and domestic resistance movements. This design is a bold recontextualization of the iconic 1920 Soviet recruitment poster "Ты записался добровольцем?" ("Did you volunteer?") by Dmitry Moor, repurposed here with the English slogan "Uncle Sam Wants You!" emblazoned below in tall, confrontational type. The juxtaposition of Soviet iconography-complete with red army uniform, factory smokestacks, and Cyrillic lettering-with a phrase universally associated with U.S. enlistment efforts, delivers a searing critique of militarism, nationalism, and ideological doublespeak on both sides of the Cold War divide. Produced by the International Poster Corp., a commercial publisher in the late 1960s known for distributing countercultural and revolutionary imagery, this poster was marketed to radical bookstores and student groups across North America. It exemplifies the era's politically charged appropriation of state propaganda styles as a vehicle for anti-war, New Left, and student movement critiques. The figure's accusatory point, lifted directly from Moor's original, underscores a shared visual vocabulary of coercion that transcended ideological boundaries. Very good condition, with strong color retention and no visible tears, small surface abrasion on recto not affecting images. Printed copyright and publishing line along bottom margin. An evocative artifact of 1960s countercultural print culture, merging international iconographies of enlistment and resistance.
