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.

The First Book of the Authors Club Liber Scriptorum was published in 1891 to raise money for a permanent home for the social club. The second volume was conceived to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first volume but publication was delayed due to World War I. When finally published in 1921 it contained 129 stories poems and essays in a limited edition signedby each author at his contribution. Contributors include: Irving Bacheller George Washington Cable George Wharton Edwards John Erskine Franklin Henry Giddings George Bird Grinnell Rossiter Johnson John Uri Lloyd Brander Matthews George Barr McCutcheon Albert Payson Terhune Carl Van Doren and Henry van Dyke &c but as noted in the table of contents and errata slip not all of the authors were able to sign: eight died before the presses had finished so facsimiles were used for Joseph Alexander Altsheler Julius Chambers William Henry McElroy Charles Augustus Stoddard Stephen Henry Thayer Calvin Thomas James Terry White and William Young; two had gone blind James Thompson Bixby and Richard Rodgers Bowker and could no longer sign their name consistently; one contributor was off traveling Frank Crane while the last was ill William Ordway Partridge. </p><p>BAL 3438. In his bibliography of Mark Twain Merle Johnson notes that though "there are presumed to be 251 copies of the book; actually over 30 of these were not bound but were sold as separate articles." Many copies have also been broken up over the years so the autographs could be sold separately. The majority of intact copies now reside in institutions. <br /></p><p><br /></p> The Authors Club hardcover books

40569This noted Montana-born children's book author and illustrator is remembered for "The Runaway Sardine" her first book 1929 and 35 others most published by Knopf: "The Greedy Goat" "Drusilla" "The Topsy-Turvy Family" "Mr. Wren's House" and others. Offered here is the near-complete original ink and watercolor artwork for an early title illustrated but not authored by Brock: Louise F. Encking's translation of E.T.A. Hoffmann's classic "The Nutcracker and the Mouse=King" published by Albert Whitman & Co. of Chicago in 1930 when Brock was just starting out and hungry for work. Consists of 25 slightly translucent leaves each two sheets either stapled or tipped together at top approximately 13" X 17" 14 containing a large single black ink line drawings six signed by Brock at lower margin and the remainder mostly containing two small drawings per sheet. All 25 have an overlay sheet on top of the ink drawings bearing the hand colored elements. Below each ink drawing Brock pens a caption which often differs from the caption that appears in the published book. Very good overall. Minor occasional soiling most about edges and edgewear. Bold and handsome illustrations for almost the entire book some with pencilled editor's notes in the margins including one or two illustrations omitted from the published book. Front cover art is absent present only in the form of an 8" X 10" glossy black-and-white photograph used for production purposes. The simple rear dust jacket art is present on a 12½" X 16½" heavy card stock board as well along with an 8" X 10" glossy black-and-white production photograph of same. A fabulous and quite scarce archive that shows the creative process at work. unknown books
32921This east coast watercolorist and children's book artist illustrated and often also wrote a wide array of children's books from the 1930s into the 1960s -- including "Wilderness Pet" "Wiggly and Giggly the Little Twin Bears" "Whitetail: King of the Forest" "The Three Puppies" "The Small One" "The Nutcracker of Nuremberg" "The Bluebird" "The Night Before Christmas" "The Enchantment of Santa Claus" "The Christ Child" "Pussy Cat Talks to Her Kittens" "Polly Parrot" "Piccolino" "Is There a Santa Claus" as well as some "Dick and Jane Basic Readers." Offered here is the near-complete original illustration art for Smock's 1937 children's book "Jocko" written by Dorothy Winchell and published by Albert Whitman & Co. of Chicago. Represented here is almost the entire book from front cover art through closing "The End" image -- lacking only 3-4 pages front board graphic frontispiece pages 21 and 31. Most are in the form of ca. 10" X 15" heavy stock art boards most with typeset text blocks pagination and other typeset elements stripped in. All are beautifully inked in black and shaded in pale blue. There is a smaller form full-color title page and half-title page and sixth text page these with the text portions entirely hand lettered. Very good. Stripped-in text blocks are usually slightly discolored from the rubber cement with which they were affixed; occasional light soiling and bit of occasional edgewear. Many original tissue overlays are present and these are generally heavily chipped and sometimes partial given their delicate nature though many contain pencilled coloring instructions etc. Four drawings are present in oversize form two 22" X 15" two 15" X 18½". Overall quite attractive and quite displayable. Jocko the monkey is a fictional character seen in 19th century texts such as the 1875 short story "Jocko the Monkey" by Fanny P. Seaverns. The Steiff company issued a monkey stuffed animal named Jocko in the late 19th century and various other Jocko the Monkey products have appeared over the years from cookie jars to posters. There were a series of silent short films about Jocko in the 1920s etc. -- all interesting predecessors to Hans and Margret Rey's "Curious George" which debuted in France in 1939. "Jocko" is the charming tale of "a bright little monkey" named Jocko and his owner an organ grinder named Rollo. Through no fault of his own Jocko gets lost and causes accidents and chaos all about him. He ends up the center of attention at a circus parade. Jocko is asked to join but luckily Rollo finds him at the last moment and they are happily reunited. A delightful collection from the height of this illustrator's fame. It's most unusual to find the nearly complete artwork from an entire book of this period. unknown books
