Description
1970. Signed. SENDAK, Maurice. Print inscribed. No place, circa 1970. Color print measures 12 by 18 inches; handsomely matted and framed, entire piece measures 16-1/2 by 22-1/2 inches. $2800.Original print with a scene from In the Night Kitchen, inscribed by Sendak beneath the image to a close friend, ""For Elizabeth—with great pleasure!—Maurice Sendak. June '78.""This print features Mickey flying atop the giant milk bottle as the bakers look in hope for him to get the milk for their batter, set against the iconic kitchen-themed skyline. See Hanrahan C3 and C4. The former owner of this inscribed poster was Maurice Sendak's neighbor, Andrew, from Ridgefield, Connecticut. Sendak bought a home and studio in Ridgefield in 1972 with his longtime partner, Eugene Glynn, and lived there until his death. Andrew first encountered Sendak in 1975 during one of his daily dog walks. (Sendak owned many dogs throughout his life, and they often starred in his books.) Andrew was immediately taken with Sendak, who reminded him of his recently deceased father. One day, Andrew called Sendak at home and asked if he could join him on his walks. Andrew and Sendak thus embarked on a 37-year friendship that also included the Andrew's mother, Betty, as well as Andrew's brother. Sendak went on long walks and hikes with Andrew and his family regularly, discussing general life events, opera, and books. He also invited them into his studio to show off works in progress. Andrew's mother, Betty, was an avid reader and collector and she and Sendak would talk late into the night about books. Sendak offered Betty advice about how to find and authenticate rare children's books, which she used to build her collection. Additionally, he frequently bartered for autographs (i.e. a cake for an inscribed drawing featuring the cake). Sendak often referred to Betty as ""Elizabeth"" in inscriptions as he felt that ""Betty"" was too common a name. The many inscribed drawings, along with first editions, signed books, and other valuable items grew into one of the country's premier Sendak collections.Fine condition.

Description
late-19th century. Hardcover. Very Good+. Paper-covered boards, backed in red morocco; 11.25 x 14 inches; contains 75 grey heavy cardstock leaves, each with a drawing in pencil or black ink mounted to the recto. Boards scuffed; binding shaken; slight wave to text block. Artwork, however, is in fine condition, suitable for display. A remarkably accomplished collection of drawings, in pencil or black ink, usually one per page (average size is about 7 x 10 inches), with one page offering 7 small sketches mounted together. The landscapes in this volume seem to be located around Illinois, and include bridges, barns, "View Near Sanger and Moody's Quarries;" and it includes portraits of people known and unknown (Abraham Lincoln, a little black girl named "Topsy"). The portraits of famous people are likely drawn from statues or paintings, as the artist also includes architectural ornaments and details. In addition to the tranquil landscapes and portraits, the artist also includes some lively scenes, like a preacher at his pulpit, a couple dancing, men watching a yacht race.

Description
Washington DC: Library of Congress, 1961. First Edition. Tall 8vo. 123 pp., with 13 plates. Original light-brown cloth (front cover a little stained, spine somewhat darkened). NOT ex-library! ONE OF THE EARLIEST PUBLISHED READING LISTS. Rosenwald, the great benefactor of the Library of Congress, here compares two copies of the "Libro delli Comandamenti di Dio," perhaps the oldest recommended reading list, printed in Florence in 1494. Naturally both copies belonged to Rosenwald. ¶ The title of the present work, "The 19th Book - Tesoro de Poveri," comes from the fact that the number of "recommended" books varied between the two copies; in the first there were 18, in the second there were 19. The name of the 19th book is the "Elthesauro de poueri in medicicina" or "Tesoro de poveri." Rosenwald gives transcriptions of the original texts, translations into English, appendices and useful notes. ¶ From the famed Bibliotheca Bibliographica Breslaueriana (sale at Christies NY, 2005, lot 1255) and with B.H. Breslauer's circled accession number in pencil inside front cover.
