Description
New York: Gotham Book Mart, 1973 First edition, first printing. Signed by Gorey on title page. Publisher's light gray paper wrappers; in the original black paper dust jacket, white paper label with Gorey's illustration of a black armless doll laid onto the front wrapper. Near fine book, with just a touch of wear to spine ends and light soiling to a few pages; near fine dust jacket, with head of spine lightly bumped and rear panel just barely scratched. Overall, a charming copy. The Black Doll is Gorey's screenplay for an unproduced silent film. Like many of his works, the plot is set in a Victorian-esque setting. It tells the story of the black doll, a "PRO," or priceless ritual object, from the ancient Asian city of Glub (or Blug), which is sought after by various groups of people. The black doll figure is a recurring figure in Gorey's books, and makes appearances in The Listing Attic (1954), The Willowdale Handcar (1962), The Tunnel Calamity (1984), and The Raging Tide (1987). Gorey, a film buff particularly inspired by the works of Louis Feuillade, blends his own signature black humor with the tradition elements of silent film, creating a unique screenplay that provides much more insight into the author's thought process than many of his other books, which are hallmarked by their minimal use of text. In 1998, The Black Doll was reprinted along with several color illustrations by Gorey in Scenario, The Magazine of Screenwriting Art. In 2009, Pomegranate published a new, hardcover edition of The Black Doll with the Scenario illustrations, an interview with Gorey, and an introduction by Andreas Brown.. Signed. First Edition. Original Wrappers. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

New York: William Wood & Co., 1872. First edition. 1872 PRACTICING PHYSICIANS' MANUAL FOR PERFORMING AUTOPSIES. 14 x 23.5 cm hardcover, red cloth binding, gilt title to spine, ink signature of "John A. Douglass/ Nov. 8, 1877" to front free endpaper, and top of title page, [i-iii], 376 pp. Wear to corners, spine faded, spine ends frayed, light browning to page edges, scattered marginal notations. Very good in custom archival mylar cover. This was Delafield's first important book, and was later rewritten and enlarged into "A Handbook of Pathological Anatomy and Histology" (1885) that became a textbook for medical education. The first edition, offered here, is divided into 4 parts: the first gives the method of performing autopsies on the bodies of adults and children; the second gives in detail the lesions which have been observed in each organ; the third gives the lesions which are found after deaths from general diseases, from violence, and from poisons (forensic cases); the fourth gives a short classification of tumors. FRANCIS DELAFIELD (1841 - 1915) was an American physician, born in New York City. After earning his MD from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University and further study abroad, he returned to New York and was appointed to the staff of Bellevue Hospital and to the chair of pathology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. He served also as pathologist and attending physician to Roosevelt Hospital and as surgeon to the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. He was the primary physician who was consulted following the shooting of United States President William McKinley in September 1901. He held membership in the New York Academy of Medicine, the Pathological Society, and the Association of American Physicians, becoming the first president of the latter organization in 1886. In 1948, in recognition for his career in medicine, the Francis Delafield Hospital opened as a cancer research center for Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.
