Seller: Boreas Fine Art

Title: Zayin
Author: Wilfried Adams
Seller: Boreas Fine Art (United States)
Description: Limited edition letterpress printed book with 13 screenprints by Luc Tuymans. Luc Tuymans is a contemporary Belgian painter whose work is concerned with the mediation of images. He typically re-photographs his source material to degrade the image before using it to make a painting. Like his paintings, the thirteen screenprints in this book are grainy and indistinct images of ordinary objects and places, such as lamps and corridors, executed in faded colors. These, however, can be seen as an attempt by Tuymans to atone for the complicity of his countrymen during World War II. Tuymans' illustrations match the somber tone of Wilfried Adams' Dutch language poems. The book's binding was created by Luc Jansen in Edegem, Belgium. It is a hardcover sewn binding covered in tan-colored cloth, with the title stamped in gold on the cover. This work is numbered 28 and signed in pencil by the author and artist at the colophon.

Title: Adventures in the North of Europe [Scandinavia] [Two Volumes] [1836]
Author: Landor, Edward Wilson (1811-1878) [Traveler & Lawyer]
Seller: Blind Horse Books [ABAA - FABA] (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: London: Saunders and Otley, 1836. Good/No Dust Jackets As Issued. A foundational mid-19th-century examination of Scandinavia that bridges Enlightenment inquiry with Romantic-era travel philosophy. Edward Wilson Landor-who would later become a significant figure in Western Australian colonial law-here provides a sophisticated critique of the traditional 'Grand Tour' model. By focusing on Sweden, Denmark, and Norway as spiritual and intellectual alternatives to the European Continent, Landor argues that the purpose of travel is the moral and philosophical improvement of the observer. This set, despite its institutional history, preserves the essential narrative of a work that Fjågesund cites as a primary document in the British 'discovery' of the North. A critical early Victorian travelogue that rejects the 'Grand Tour' in favor of the rugged, philosophical landscape of Scandinavia. Though previously held in the historic Wadsworth Library, this complete two-volume set remains a vital primary source for the 'Poetry and Philosophy of Travel.' It is an essential acquisition for scholars of Romantic-era exploration and the early British cultural fascination with the Nordic wilderness. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Two engraved frontispieces by F. Rosenberg from drawings by J. Coleman. +++ Binding: Period half leather over textured green cloth; spines feature raised bands, gilt-lettered labels, and antique paper library tags. Marbled edges and endpapers. +++ Content: Comprehensive chapters on Swedish and Norwegian social structures, including the influential 'Poetry and the Philosophy of Travel' essay. +++ Imprint: Saunders and Otley, London. 1836. First Edition, First Printing. +++ Specs: 12mo; 19 cm. Two volumes complete. CONDITION - Good. Former library copies with typical external wear, including light soiling and mild rubbing to the cloth and leather. The front hinge of Volume I is starting, while Volume II remains structurally sound. Defects Note: Volume I lacks its title page; the title page of Volume II is present but features a 'Atheneum' blind stamp and ink numbering. Library bookplates are affixed to front pastedowns with attachments to rear endpapers. Internal pages exhibit occasional light foxing, though the text remains clear and readable. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ The Anti-Grand Tour: Landor's work is a primary document for the shift in travel literature from aristocratic leisure to middle-class intellectual pursuit. +++ Scandomania: Documents the early 'Scandomania' movement in Britain, where the North was viewed as a site of ancient Teutonic virtue and uncorrupted nature. +++ Institutional History: The Wadsworth Library provenance provides a secondary layer of interest for collectors of American library history and the distribution of European travelogues in 19th-century New York. +++ Philosophical Depth: Moves beyond mere description to explore the 18th-century concept of 'self-improvement' through travel, making it a crossover item for both history and philosophy collectors. +++ Nordic Pioneer: One of the few contemporary English accounts to prioritize a contrast between Scandinavia and the Continent during the 1830s. +++ The Landor Legacy: Written by Edward Wilson Landor before his career in Australia; a key 'pre-colonial' work for researchers of his life and legal influence. +++ Historical Provenance: Bears the bookplates of the Wadsworth Library of Geneseo, NY-one of the oldest public libraries in the United States, established in 1869. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Landor's 'Adventures' appeared at a pivotal moment when British travelers were beginning to look past France and Italy toward the Arctic and the Baltic. His focus on 'improvement' mirrors the educational reforms of the 1830s, positioning the traveler as a student of foreign cultures rather than a mere consumer of sights. Despite the physical flaws of this set, it remains an uncommon survival of a work that significantly influenced the British Romantic view of the 'North' as a philosophical destination.
