Description
SENDAK and CALDECOTT A watercolor in homage of his muse Original ink and watercolor drawing depicting Moishe "Wild Thing", Sendak's avatar, mimicking the artist Randolph Caldecott's self-caricature drawing from his period of sketching in Brittany (1870s), now given a garden backdrop and including "The Cat and the Fiddle", Caldecott's dog, and a blackbird aloft – with a Wild Thing to bring home the sentiment. The design was commissioned by The Horn Book Magazine, a Boston based publication which since inception in 1924 used the "Three Jovial Huntsmen" Caldecott image (1880) on horseback blowing their horns, until in 1985 when the publication decided to invite a different illustrator to design new covers for a year – Maurice Sendak was their first choice, and Maurice continued their honoring Caldecott by his "Moishe and Randolph" interpretation. The ink and watercolor drawing measures 9 x 6-1/4 inches on larger paper, Signed in full at bottom right, the initials "R.C." and "M.S." are on Caldecott's sketchbook pages. Aside from the image being used as the magazine cover, a poster limited to 300 signed and numbered copies was also produced. Maurice Sendak was a Brooklyn-born artist, best remembered for his iconic book "Where the Wild Things Are" published in 1963 and winner of The 1964 Randolph Caldecott Medal for the "most distinguished American picture book for children" given annually by the American Library Association's Children Services division. Sendak has written and illustrated numerous children's books, created designs for posters, prints, book covers, advertising campaigns and also many costume and set designs for opera and ballet. This particular design honors Randolph Caldecott, one of the major illustrators of his day and one of the many major influences in Maurice's canon of work.

Description
1986. CLEMENTE, Francesco. The Departure of the Argonaut. By Alberto Savinio. [102] ff. With 49 photolithographs, 46 in color and 3 in black on cream paper. Elephant folio, loose in original wrappers and beige linen box designed by Rudolph Rieser. London: Petersburg Press, 1986. Clemente's images are extraordinary and elevate this work to one of monumental bookmaking in conception, design, and production. The artist's designs range from monochromatic and brooding to intensely imaginary and vividly colourful. The text itself, first issued in 1917, is the travelogue and wartime diary of Alberto Savinio, one of the seminal figures in 20th-century Italian arts and letters. It is translated here from the Italian for the first time. This is the rare portfolio edition, limited to 50 copies signed by the artist. Johnson, Artists' Books in the Modern Era 1870-2000, No. 169. Castleman, A Century of Artists Books, p. 217.

Description
1840. With Illustrations by George Cattermole and Hablot Browne. London: Chapman and Hall, 1840/-41/-41. Original blind-stamped purple-brown cloth with gilt-decorated spines and front covers. First Editions in book form of THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP (all of Vol I plus pp 1-223 of Vol II), and of BARNABY RUDGE (pp 229-306 of Vol II plus all of Vol III). After NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, Dickens decided that all his future novels would be issued as loosely-connected tales presented by one Master Humphrey; furthermore, serialization would be weekly, and with illustrations printed within the text rather than on separate plates. MASTER HUMPHREY'S CLOCK was initially issued in 88 weekly parts (each being one folded leaf, with no stitching) -- with every four or five parts also grouped into 20 monthly parts (stitched, within wrappers); the three volumes in cloth were accordingly published separately, at intervals of about seven months. Simultaneous with the publication of Vol III, MASTER HUMPHREY'S CLOCK was divided and issued as two separate one-volume novels -- at which time Dickens gave up on the experiment, and reverted to the old formula (monthly serial parts, with separate plates) for MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT and subsequent novels. This set is in the primary (and usual) binding, with the gilt front cover clock whose hands point to the appropriate volume number. Subscribers to serial parts could have them bound into this "original publisher's cloth" at a multitude of places, so variations of endpapers and edges are many. We have seen copies of MASTER HUMPHREY'S CLOCK with several variations of endpapers: light coffee-brown, plain white, pale yellow, and (as here) white with blue and red marbling. As with some but not all copies with marbled endpapers, this copy has the same marbling on the page edges -- perhaps the most sought-after variant. The condition of the volumes is near-fine, the only notable defect being very slight wear at most of the spine ends; there is minor fading at the top of the Vol III front cover (where a shorter book undoubtedly once stood), but the spines themselves exhibit less than the usual amount of fading. The delicate endpapers are intact, and there is scarcely any foxing within. Each front paste-down bears a 1912 Dickens Centennial stamp that collectors -- led very publicly by the Royal Family -- were encouraged to put into their Dickens books; priced at a penny each, the purchase of these stamps provided income to some Dickens descendants who, it had come to light, were eking by on tiny government pensions (since Dickens's works were no longer providing copyright income). Smith I pp 44-57.
