Title: Gæsteporten
Author: [Restaurant guest book – Old Denmark Restaurant (New York City)]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: [New York], 1993. Wooden guest book in the shape of a door, wooden metal hinges, 50 leaves sewn with pink cord, with seventy-five holograph signatures, nearly forty of which we have been able to identify. The Old Denmark was a casual restaurant, at 135 East 57th Street, and later, 113 East 65th Street on New York’s Upper East Side. A 1964 review gave the restaurant one star, and described it as “first and foremost a purveyor of Scandinavian delicacies for the retail trade, but it also boasts one table where customers may dine on Danish salads. There is a seating capacity for eight guests at a time and the table is shared by other customers. The food served consists primarily of salads such as cucumber, mushroom, crab, beet and herring, but there is also liver paté and smoked salmon…” Identified amongst the signators are: Ingrid Bergman, Louise Allbritton, Virginia Field, Mario Lanza, Groucho Marx, Marlene Dietrich, Carl Brick, Helen Traubel, Miriam Hopkins, Elsie D. Alexander, Ruth Bryan Rohde, Eleanor Roosevelt, Robert St John, Edward Arnold, Princess Revé de Bourbon, Lillian Gish, Joel Grey, Lillian Hellman, Faye Dunaway, Bill Murray, Sergio Franchi, Ron Howard, Shirley Hazzard, Gary Maddox, Garrison Keillor, and Camilla Roos. Some light soiling to pages, scuffing to the wooden doors, lacking the original "doorknob". Generally near very good.

Seller: Black Swan Books, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Very Good binding
Description: London: Published and printed variously by C. Bathurst, C. Davis, C. Hitch and L. Hawes, J. Hodges, R. and J. Dodsley, W. Bowyer, L. Davis C. Reymers, W. Johnston, T. Davies, R. Davis, H. Woodfall, W. Strahan, J. Rivington, W. Owens, R. Baldwin, T. Longman, and J. Hardy, 1768. First Edition Thus. Full Leather. Very Good binding. Volume I: [2], 8, 43, xviii, 184, [2], viii, 4, 286; Volume II: [4], 231, [4], 176, (restarting at 157)-182; Volume III: [2], vi, iii, 38 [inserted half title] 39-191, [6], 253; Volume IV: [8], 318, [2], ii, 237; Volume V: [4], 258, [4], 144 (printer error in pagination skipping to) 153-232; Volume VI: [4] 210, [2], iii, 218; Volume VII: [lacking half title], iii-viii, 230, iv, 49, 58-221; Volume VIII: xxiii, 278, vii, 196, 195-279, publishers advertisement on verso; Volume X: xxxi, 288; Volume XI: [2], viii, 322; Volume XII: viii, 295; Volume XIII: viii, 320. This is the first of the important Hawkesworth editions, lacking Volume IX and the supplementary Volume XIV which were published in 1775 and 1779 respectively, the last of the volumes printed. Given the nearly 25-year span over which the printing took place it is remarkably difficult to find sets of this edition complete. Volumes I-VI (1755); VII (1763-4); VIII (1765); X-XI (1766); XII-XIII (1768); [lacking Volumes IX (1775) and XIV (1779)]. Full bound in contemporary mottled calf with morocco title and volume labels (through numbered I-XII) with some chipping and loss. 19th century rebacks to some volumes; more recently, damage to spines and boards have been repaired; though there is cracking and tenderness to some spines, they are now relatively stable. All volumes offered are from the First Quarto Edition except the Letters X & XI which appear to be a reprint dated the same year as the First Edition. Volume X states “New Edition,” and both X & XI have a variant collation from what Teerink suggests; both appear complete. All volumes complete but for Volume VII which is lacking a half title. All 26 full-page copperplate engravings plus 4 pages of Cantata are present as called for by Teerink. Notably, the same engravings were used for the octavo editions. Only the quarto edition has a large frame around the image to make it congruous to the page size. This copy belonged to Sir John Frederick, Baronet of Burwood House and bears his very tasteful engraved bookplate in most volumes. (Teerink 87). Very Good binding.

Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: DUFRESNE, –, restorer & painter)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 38 pp. 8vo (209 x 138 mm.), loosely stitched, disbound. Paris: Olivier & Henry, 1814. The very scarce catalogue of a Parisian painting restorer’s intriguing collection of pictures. Dufresne, whose first name is unknown, resided on rue Taitbout and then on rue Saint-Lazare. This catalogue’s foreword mentions that he has worked as a tasteful and able restorer for the past 15 years. The catalogue describes 124 lots of paintings, including work of Albani, van Asch, Boilly, Bidault, J. Brueghel, van Bloemen, Marguérite Gérard, Drolling, van Goyen, de La Hire, Lantara, Poelenburgh, Swagers, Taunay, D. Teniers, Zurbarán, etc. The subjects in many of the pictures are detailed at length, and each entry provides measurements and the type of support. Henry, the expert, even offers comparisons and critiques of the work in his descriptions. A good copy of a rare catalogue. Some dampstaining to the margins, and the stitching is nearly gone. ❧ Lugt 8622. See N. Etienne, The Restoration of Paintings in Paris, 1750-1815 (2017), p. 285, for the entry on Dufresne. Oxford Art online (Henry)–“He studied under Charles Landon and Jean-Baptiste Regnault. In 1793 he began to deal in pictures and until 1812 spent part of his time travelling abroad (mainly in Italy) to increase his knowledge of art. In October 1816 he was appointed Commissaire-expert des Musées Royaux, a post he held until his death. Between 1810 and 1830 he assembled an eclectic collection, purchasing either privately or at sales, among them the posthumous sales (1826 and 1827) of Vivant Denon. His tastes in Italian art ranged from the work of Fra Angelico to that of the 17th-century Bolognese masters…In 1834 Henry offered a large part of his collection to the town of Cherbourg, and on 29 July 1835 a museum to house his works was opened on the second floor of the Hôtel de Ville; it was later named the Musée Thomas-Henry.”.

Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques

Title: Bunny Rabbit's Pranks
Author: Ken (?)
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Otley, UK. NA. Loose. Very Good. Charming animal story manuscript, in the tradition, if not inspired by Peter Rabbit, with a strong kinship to Bugs Bunny. In this story, the rabbit prankster manages to get the best of all the other, mostly bigger and stronger animals, even when at first the rabbit appears to be in a bind. It bests a fox, a bear, a lion, a wolf and turtle in various ways. If there is a moral to this tale of a manipulative rabbit, it is that brains can beat out brawn, and do so consistently. N.d., but our sense is circa 1940s. As far as we know, this story was never published, but this manuscript was definitely already well along in the publishing process, with intended color plates set up for the several steps required of printing them. 16 sheet manuscript, all of card stock. Two sizes: the two versions of the title, 22.5 by 15 cm, all others, 17.5 by 13 cm. One title fully colored, other title, pen and ink with color wax paper overlay. Six other pages similar -- intended as plates, with pen and ink on card, with coloring on wax paper overlay. Eight text sheets, all handwritten, four with illustrations on them as well. Condition: some chipping to the wax paper, and a few of these overlays are loose. Light soiling and wear besides.
