191848652London.: Christie Manson & Woods. 1918. Original publisher's printed paper wrappers stitched as issued titles to front cover in black. 8vo. 246 x 155 mm. Title to front wrapper conditions of sale verso and the details of 215 lots. A fine unsophisticated copy of the important catalogue of the sale of this highly significant collection of William Blake material.The sale was held on Friday March 16th 1918 at Christie's 'Great Rooms' in King Street St. James's. In 1818 John Linnell 1792 - 1882 met William Blake 1757 - 1827 with whom he remained friendly until Blake’s death in 1827. Linnell became an important patron to Blake in the final years of his life commissioning among other works a set of engravings illustrating the Book of Job and buying the watercolours that Blake had made for John Milton’s 'Paradise Regained'.The first portion of the sale was made up of works by Linnell himself as well as works and prints by other artists. Lots 148 to 215 all relate to Blake and include among sketches watercolours and letters the 98 drawings for Dante the drawings for the 'Illustrations of the Book of Job' the drawings for Milton's 'Paradise Regained' the illuminated books 'America A Prophecy' 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' two copies 'There Is No Natural Religion' 'Vala' and more; notable are also the eleven sets of Blake's engravings for Dante and the 68 copies of the 'Illustrations for the Book of Job'.Four of the lots are priced in sepia ink in the catalogue: a note records that '148 Dante's 'Divina Comedia'' sold for 7300 Guineas; '149 The Book of Job' i.e. the original drawings sold for 3000; '151 Paradise Regained' fetched 2100; and '215 . 'Songs of Innocence and Experience'' achieved 700 Guineas.The catalogue a remarkable survival shows some toning to the wrappers and has been folded at some point a few chips to the rear wrapper and some dog ears do not detract from a well-preserved and unsophisticated example. Although well represented and widely held in institutions the catalogue is very scarce in commerce. Christie, Manson & Woods. unknown
1939167693London: Published on behalf of the Government of Transjordan by the Crown Agents for the Colonies 1939. Aqua-politics and the Middle East First edition first impression of this exhaustive report on the water resources of the Jordan Basin intended to "determine their adequacy to support the resettlement of population in the context of creating two states" Jewish and Arab Haddadin p. 237. Although well represented institutionally this important publication is scarce in commerce. The Emirate of Transjordan ruled over by the Hashemite dynasty was established as a British protectorate in 1921 and endured until 1946. In 1936 the Peel Commission was set up to investigate the causes of unrest in neighbouring Palestine following a six-month Arab general strike. The commission's report published the following year concluded that the mandate was unworkable and recommended partition. Here Michael George Ionides 1903-1978 concludes that existing water resources cannot support both a Jewish state growing through immigration and the Arab state recommended by the Peel Commission. This finding is based on his being the first person to estimate the available water resources and irrigable land of the Jordan Valley. He recommends a development plan "based on water availability from the Jordan River and Lake Tiberias" ibid. p. 237. "The Ionides plan came to nothing as the British subsequently rejected partition as impractical but the proposals - storage in Lake Tiberias and large-scale irrigation in the East Ghor - were taken up in subsequent plans and have been partly realized today. The leaders of the Yishuv vigorously opposed the Ionides plan In their view the water resources available within the borders of Mandate Palestine were not enough to sustain the big new population of Jewish immigrants from Europe but also for the agricultural economy of the co-operative settlements the kibbutzim that were beginning to dot the land in an N-shaped swathe" Ward et al. p. 49. Ionides was a civil engineer and highly regarded irrigation expert whose papers are held at the National Archives. The appended geological report was compiled by the polyglot George Stanfield Blake 1876-1940 who had a deep understanding of the region having worked there since 1922 and included Palestinian and Levantine Arabic among his languages.

Very good album with near fine photographs.<br/><br/>A photo album and scrapbook kept by Betty Blake while serving with the British & American Ambulance Corp. and the American Theatre Wing during World War II. Both were humanitarian organizations created to aid in relief and fundraise during the war. They were frequently used together and often put on events for war charities. Betty worked for both organizations as an actress and includes 8" x 10" photos of headshots and performances throughout. She also worked as a "Hospital Hostess" and can be seen stuffing envelopes making calls and painting a "V" on a vehicle. Two photos show a group of women wearing British & American Ambulance Corps sashes posed by a truck. Betty's scrapbook also includes a typed note signed by actress Antoinette "Toni" Perry inviting her to tea. A program and newsletter from the New York Theatre Critics' Review is laid in at the end of the album.<br/><br/>The American Theatre Wing had originally been founded during World War I in 1917 as the Stage Women's War Relief by playwright and director Rachel Crothers. By 1939 Crothers brought the organization back through the British War Relief Society. This time members included Mary Antoinette "Toni" Perry Helen Hayes Lynn Fontaine and Tallulah Bankhead among others. They set out to fundraise and organize donations of clothing for European refugees displaced during the war. During World War II they opened the Stage Door Canteen in New York to entertain servicemen. After the war many of the actresses continued on with the organization to help with post-war relief. <br/><br/>An interesting collection documenting a young actress' service during World War II. hardcover books
1999CNJL1299London: Enitharmon Press 1999. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Rego Paula. Number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition folio size 46 pp. signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego. Paula Rego b. 1935 a native of Portugal studied art at the Slade School London where she now mainly lives and works. This work is based almost unbelievably so on factual history: "the Children's Crusade of 1212 remains an enigmatic historical episode recorded in only a few contemporary accounts but it captured the imagination of the acclaimed painter Paula Rego as a story steeped in imaginative possibilities and contemporary relevance. It touches not only on children's love of adventure but also on darker issues including fears of the unknown incipient sexuality and exploitation. In his introduction Blake Morrison brilliantly illuminates Rego's twelve hand-coloured etchings and their relation to the crusade and the scene is set by two passages from medieval chronicles. The book concludes with an extensive and revealing interview with Paula Rego in which she explains her fascination with the subject." N.B. from the website of the publisher.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original gray linen covered boards with the illustration "Voices II" inlaid to the upper board fore- and tail-edges uncut color printed reproductions of the original etchings tipped in; text has been hand-set in Monotype Caslon printed on Arches Vélin paper folio size 12.75" by 10" pagination: 1-6 7-45 1 colophon limited edition this number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition total edition 190 signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego.

2 vols., roy. 8vo., First Edition thus, LARGE PAPER, with engraved title-vignettes and 110 fine full-page engraved plates; handsomely bound in contemporary full brown diced calf, boards with triple frame border enclosing decorative frame all in gilt, backs with raised bands ruled in gilt, second and fourth compartments lettered and numbered in gilt, all other compartments elaborately tooled in gilt with a geometrical floral flourish, marbled edges, gilt doublures, marbled endpapers, expertly rebacked with old backstrips laid down, a splendid, crisp and remarkably clean copy in sympathetically restored period binding. WITH THE FINE ENGRAVED ARMORIAL BOOKPLATE OF RAWSON BODDAM CROZIER [1775-1849] ON FRONT PASTE-DOWNS. FIRST EDITION OF THIS SELECTION. Large Paper copies are invariably [as here] the first issue with uncorrected page numeral [891] on p.198, and issued without Stockdale's later advertisement leaf for his edition of Gay's Fables. This selection comprises 110 fables, each illustrated with a superb full-page engraving by Blake, Clarke, Eastgate, Grainger, Landseer, Stothard and several other artists. Croxall compiled his translation (first published in 1722) to rival the well-known version of Roger L'Estrange (first published 1692, many times reprinted and prior to Croxall the well-nigh 'standard' text). Croxall accuses his predecessor of Jacobite tendencies, but has himself not resisted the temptation to incorporate political overtones into what is primarily a children's book. A SPLENDID COPY OF THE FIRST STOCKDALE EDITION AND SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.

This copy is from the Trianon Press Archive from the estate of Trianon publisher and founder Arnold Fawcus. Blake scholar Geoffrey Keynes 1887-1982 the brother of Maynard provides a commentary and bibliographical history. He summarizes the gnomic intent of Blake's early tractate: "Blake identifies the Poetic Genius that is God with 'Divine Humanity'. Man is therefore uniform yet with infinite variety in the individuals. All men thus derived from a universal Poetic Genius have but one religion though each nation has its difference beliefs according to its needs". Quarto. Facsimile plates thoughout achieved by collotype some with watercolour washes applied by hand. Original green full morocco titles to spine gilt. With the original marbled slipcase. Slight darkening to spine otherwise a fine copy. unknown
