Title: The Anti-Suffrage Rose
Author: [WOMENS' HISTORY & LITERATURE] HANNA, Phil (words & music)
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: Boston: Women's Anti-Suffrage Association, 1915. First Edition. Quarto (35.75cm); original pictorial wrappers; 6pp. Modest wear and handling, some dust-soil and faint foxing to wrappers, with several small tears and attendant creases to extremities, and a faint tide mark affecting lower right corners; complete, but just Very Good. A key piece of anti-suffrage sheet music - a strident response to the wave of feminist songs proliferating the marketplace in the years prior to the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920. The lyrics encapsulate some of the many reasons that men (and women) were against women gaining the right to vote: "Work for the "cause," No time to pause, Tell all the men that you know, Why should a few, Rule over you, Suffrage is ev'ry man's foe, Beautiful flower, Sign of the hour, If the Jonquil wants to fight, You cannot fall, You're the Queen of them all, Emblem of Truth and Right" Anti-suffrage organizations, like the Women's Anti-Suffrage Association of Boston, cited many reasons for their position, including that women did not want the burden of the vote, that women were already busy with caring for homes and families, and that women were not capable of making astute political decisions. Uncommon, with no examples found in the marketplace, and 11 holdings in OCLC institutions. CREW S-1915-1. 84102.

Title: MORRIS & COMPANY: ESSAYS ON FINE PRINTING
Author: Peterson, William S.
Seller: Oak Knoll Books/Oak Knoll Press (United States)
Description: New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press, 2020. Cloth with dust jacket. 6.25 x 9.375 inches. Cloth with dust jacket. 320 pages plus 8 pages of color plates. "Tasteful, commemorative, and personal- these describe the presentation as well as the substance of the essays collected in this anthology... Peterson's collected Essays on Fine Printing are a fine testament to the craft and the tradition they invoke." - Jessica Terekhov, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, March 2022 "...one is grateful to have a listing of Peterson's numerous publications, dating from 1964. That and the contents of this book make it abundantly clear how much William S. Peterson has contributed to the study of William Morris, particularly on his last great creative endeavor, the Kelmscott Press." -Peter Stansky, Useful and Beautiful (newsletter of the American branch of The William Morris Society) "In Morris & Company (Oak Knoll), William S. Peterson assembles 11 learned and entertaining essays that cast new light on several British and American champions of the 'ideal book.'...When the black printing ink used by Morris's company starts to leave mysterious yellow stains, the resulting horror is palpable and the hunt for an explanation nearly as gripping as a Detection Club mystery." -Michael Dirda, The Washington Post The founding by William Morris of the Kelmscott Press in 1891 was the major episode in the Victorian revival of fine printing but also the culmination of a prolonged attempt to recover the high typographical standards of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Though it is tempting to see Morris, a figure of remarkable energy and influence, as a solitary genius in his attempt to redefine the underlying principles of book design, in fact he was working within a tradition of aesthetic renewal that can be traced throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. . William S. Peterson -- in this collection of essays and lectures originally published over a twenty-six-year span -- argues that Morris's adventures in the book world can best be understood by placing him in this larger context. While the attempt by Morris to reinvigorate the book beautiful (as some of his contemporaries called it) was connected in his mind with Marxist theories about the equitable distribution of goods, the reality is that the Kelmscott Press printed elegant volumes that could only be afforded by prosperous collectors. At a deeper level, however, the Victorian revival of the aesthetics of book production was also linked with the renewal of Anglo-Catholicism in mid-nineteenth-century England and a growing admiration for the Middle Ages. Morris's remarkable achievement was to blend this widespread Victorian nostalgia for the distant past with a theory of bookmaking that still has powerful appeal today. The other figures who appear in this volume, such as Emery Walker, Sydney Cockerell, Daniel Berkeley Updike, William Pickering, and Henry and Emily Daniel, remind us that us that Morris was not alone in envisioning the renewal of the book arts as the key to an understanding of our modern world. William S. Peterson (Professor Emeritus of English, University of Maryland) has written extensively about the Kelmscott Press and other aspects of fine printing in Britain and America. He has also edited three journals -- Browning Institute Studies, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, and Printing History -- and has designed many books (including this one).
