Description
Portland, ME, 1886. No Binding. Near Fine. 16 ¾ x 25 inches.. Two-stone lithograph. Few marginal mends; small duplicate stamp lower right margin; excellent to fine of this kind. A rare and beautiful view of Bar Harbor and Mt. Desert Island, evoked at the time when it was a favored summer resort of the elite of the Gilded Age. It was only one of three views of the area produced in the 19th century according to Reps and the only one published in Maine. Bar Harbor's sprawling hotels, clubs and mansions are prominently seen in the view, which depicts the town from the south from above Bar Island. The view also effectively portrays the town's dramatic natural setting with its promontory-like location and with Cadillac Mountain in background. There are, in addition, charming period details such as a locomotive chugging near the top of the mountain and an arriving paddlewheel ferry fully laden with passengers. G.W. Morris was a Portland publisher of books, postcards and other images depicting the many charms of northern New England. Reps attributes to him just the present view and one of Peak's Island, Maine, also printed by George Walker and issued in 1886. Walker's firm was established in 1882 and operated well into the 20th century. An advertisement in the 1882 Boston Business Directory describes the company as "publishers and lithographers," doing "engraving in all its branches, map engraving and photo-lithographing." Among other things, Walker issued an important atlas of Massachusetts, separate maps of Boston and its metropolitan area, and birds-eye views of tourist destinations such as Bar Harbor, Edgartown, and Lake Sunapee. This example of the view has a most interesting history. Apparently it was one of the copies deposited for copyright with the Library of Congress and was de-accessioned in recent years as a duplicate. The duplicate stamp is visible in the lower right corner, and with a lens one can just make out traces of the original deposit stamp. Reps, M.Views and Viewmakers, #1180 lists four examples of the view (Library of Congress, Bar Harbor Historical Society and elsewhere). OCLC #5447748 identifies two additional examples at the University of Illinois and Penn State.

Description
[London]: Unique, ca 1900. Full contemporary gilt stamped leather.. Very good. Some modest, occasional, offset. The binding exhibits wear - the joints are cracked and covers just holding; some chafing to the edges and backstrip. This was a well executed binding (gilt dentelles, raised bands etc.) and would benefit from a careful rebacking.. Oblong folio. An album of 21 original humorous pen & ink sketches (with some color heightening) meas. appx. 250 x 310 mm. that are spot mounted to heavy, gilt edged card stock and signed lower right (on the illus.). The mounts, all on linen hinges, measure 340 x 390 mm. Each mount has autograph lines of pencil verse. This is replicated in a fine, two color, calligraphic hand on the verso of each previous mount so that the original verse passage is facing it's paired drawing. Each of the drawings and verse express a wry, understated humorous vignette of Edwardian England. The bookplate of the author H H Harrod mounted on the front pastedown. Gilt stamped on the front cover lower left in large type: Mr. M W O'Brien / "RULES" Lance Thackeray, artist and illustrator, died of illness in 1916 after having volunteered, at age 40, for the Artists Rifles - a volunteer light infantry regiment - during WWI. He seems to have been constantly employed for his illustration skills and "cartoons" on social life in Edwardian England. Celebrity, however, eluded him. What is known about his life is found in his biography by Askey. The drawings are charming moments presented in subdued renderings. An exceptional assemblage.

New York: Dial Press. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. 1952. First Edition. Hardcover. [good sound copy, very slight bumping to lower corners, light spotting to top edge of text block, one-time owner's name written at top of front pastedown and her address label at top of rear pastedown (in both instances mostly concealed by the jacket flaps); the jacket shows a bit of wear at edges and corners, very minor chipping at top of spine]. (endpaper maps) "In a strange way, they were twins -- though one of them was a commoner, and the other an Emperor, though they shared not one drop of related blood. Pietro di Donati, son of a blacksmith, and Frederick the Second of Hohenstaufen, Holy Roman Emperor, were born on the same day, at the same hour, in the same Sicilian town. Thereafter, linked by their stars, they became brothers, bound by a bond of the spirit, of temperament, of their curious, alert intellects, in a way that transcended the usual kinship of the flesh." Source for the 1954 film of the same name, directed (uncharacteristically) by horrormeister William Castle. (NOTE that this is NOT the much more common book club edition; the original $3.50 price is present on the front flap of the unclipped jacket.) .

[top front corner slightly bumped, one-time owner's name and date written at top of front endpaper; jacket shows just a bit of wear at extremities, tiny surface scrape at both ends of spine, itsy-bitsy paper loss at top rear hinge]. (endpaper maps) This "pulsating novel of adventure, revenge and exotic love in the West Indies of the seventeenth century, when the might of imperial Spain was making its last great stand to retain its conquests in the New World" tells the story of Kit Gerado's "lifelong search for the revenge on Don Luis del Toro, the Spanish grandee who had killed his mother and touched his life with unspeakable horror. It was a search that was to take Kit from the Old World to the New, from the buccaneer harbors of Sainte Domingue, Porto Bello and Cul-de-Sac to the gray, grim-walled city of Cartagena in Spanish South America." (I wonder if, when he finally catches up with Don Luis, he delivers the line: "My name is Kit Gerado. You killed my mother. Prepare to die.") This was Yerby's third novel, and the second of his books to be made into a movie (with the same title); released by Columbia Pictures in 1952, it starred Sterling Hayden and Rhonda Fleming. .

Description
After 1867. Acceptable. Silver albumen photograph on paper. 275 x 215 mm. Signed and titled in plate. Toned to sepia. Edges a bit chipped in places. Crease across lower right portion of image. Number 149 in the photographer's "Souvenirs d'Orient" series. Felix Bonfils (1831-1885) was an active and prolific pioneer of photography in the Middle East, yet details of his life and work remain obscure. "All we know of Bonfils", said photographic historian Beaumont Newhall, "is that he was a genius." Recent information gathered under the direction of Harvard Semitic Museum curator Carney Gavin shows that Bonfils, a French bookbinder and printer, moved to Beirut with his family in the 1860s. His training in photogravure in France prepared him for his career as photographer in the Middle East, where, together with his wife and son, he enterprisingly produced souvenir photos and books for European travelers. The books were all hand-made, each photograph printed from the original glass negative and pasted into place. This print of a single photograph, never mounted, must have been made for inclusion in a bound volume that never reached completion.

Honolulu, Hawaii: Tongg Publishing Company, 1941. Softcover.

First appearing as "forty-five weekly installments in the Honolulu Advertiser, September 11, 1939 to July 15, 1940," the chapters of the book comprise a remarkable reference source on American Polynesia including, interestingly enough, several islands which are decidedly not American.
