A new, unread book in excellent condition. Full red cloth boards with gilt titles and pasted-down illustration. Gray linen endpapers. Text in Japanese. 6"w x 9"h. 126 pages. A collection of the pop surrealist master's work. "Blending themes of pop culture with techniques reminiscent of the old masters, Mark Ryden has created a singular style that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. His work first garnered attention in the 1990s when he ushered in a new genre of painting, "Pop Surrealism", dragging a host of followers in his wake. Ryden has trumped the initial surrealist strategies by choosing subject matter loaded with cultural connotation." [Ryden website]

pp. (16) [Publisher's catalogue], 348 + Large folding map of Egypt. Illustrated with full page engravings. Early inked ownership of Anna Ridgely, Nov. 26, 1856. 12mo. Original full cloth binding, inked stained. Hardbound. Harper's Family Library. No. XXIII. The young Anna Ridgely who owned this book was probably the daughter of Nicholas H. Ridgely, a prominent banker and one of the wealthiest persons in Springfield, Illinois. Father Ridgely was a former Whig who became a Democrat. He did not vote for home-town boy Lincoln in the presidential election. After Lincoln's election, Anna confided to her diary, "We were disappointed, for we had hoped that such a man as he, without the great knowledge of state affairs, without any polish of manners, would not be sent to be the representative of this great nation." Three months later, she and her family came to the Lincoln home for the family's farewell reception. Having earlier expressed her displeasure with Lincoln's election, she now wrote in her diary her impressions of Lincoln. "Mr. L really looked handsome to me his whiskers are a great improvement and he has such a pleasant smile I could not but admire him." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! HOLY LAND BOX 2
