1877105851877. Translated by W. H. G. Kingston. Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1877. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt all edges gilt. First British Edition of the tale also known as THE BLACK INDIES and as UNDERÂGROUND CITY. The unusual tale takes place deep in a Scottish mine in which a mysterious "goblin" appears to live. The peculiar wildness of Jules Verne's imagination shows with startling effect when he selects Scotland and its sober-minded people as scene and characters for his latest characteristic extravaganza. He describes a mine of fabulous wonders by and of superhuman powers and then he has a plot that would furnish plots for several exciting novels. from an early promotional piece cited in T&M The pirate publisher George Munro was the first to get out an edition THE BLACK INDIES in English in his triple-columned self-wrappered "Seaside Library" in the Spring of 1877. This first British edition came out in October of that year: "Pictured on the front cover is Jack Ryan kneeling on the twenty-sixth landing down the gloomy shaft. Harfang the bird owl is also shown on the front cover and spine" T&M. This copy is in red cloth; we have also had green and brown no priority. It is an unusually clean bright copy in near-fine condition a discreet repair at the head of the spine rear endpaper cracked. Taves & Michaluk V017; Myers 10. unknown books

20049500Octon France: Verdigris Press 2004. One of 38 copies only all on Hahnemuhle paper each copy hand-numbered and signed by the artist Judith Rothchild and the printer Mark Lintott. Page size: 11-3/4 inches x 5-15/16 inches; 4 leaves colophon printed on gray paper mounted on inside rear cover. Bound by Mark Lintott: leporello style but on the vertical original screen prints by Judith Rothchild in subtle shades of gray on the front and back boards with gray silk ribbon pull at bottom of front board housed in publisher's clamshell box of gray paper title printed in black on front panel lined with screen prints made by Rothchild in shades of gray fine. <br/> Jules Verne's poem was written in 1848 when the author was just 20. The poem literally passes through a storm before reaching safe haven on the other side. The text is superimposed on a series of four of Rothchild's ominous mezzotints which start with a threatening sky go to the complete blackness of the storm and then to clouds quickly moving to sunlight. The text is hand set and letterpress printed in Vendome romain on an Albion press by Mark Lintott. Considering world events of 1848 Verne shows himself to be an optimist with this moving verse admirably served by Rothchild's handsome images which really give a sense of the speed and drama of the storm. Meticulously crafted this is a lovely book. Selected for inclusion in Wellesley College exhibition and catalogue RESONANCE AND RESPONSE 2005. Verdigris Press unknown books
187493521874. With 68 Full-Page Illustrations. I. MERIDIANA. II. A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH. New York: Scribner Armstrong & Co. 1874. 8 pp undated ads. Original brown cloth decorated in gilt and black. First Combined Edition. On the very same day that Scribner Armstrong published the authorized American edition of MERIDIANA May 23 1874 Shepard of Boston came out with a pirated edition; Shepard did the same with the earlier A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH. To combat the cheaper Shepard books Scribner Armstrong came out with this combined volume on July 4th just six weeks later. It borrows the binding from the original Scribner Welford & Armstrong issue of the English MERIDIANA includes a separate title page and other preliminary leaves for each tale and combines all 48 MERIDIANA illustrations with just 20 of them from the other title. The first page of the ad catalogue is a "Caution" against buying these titles by any other publisher which "are PIRATED and cannot fail to be inferior in every particular". This is a very good copy with discreet repairs at the spine ends but quite attractive on the shelf. On the endpaper and title page is the penciled signature of Charles. Harvey. Scribner of Toledo Ohio -- a judge whose son invented the multiple switchboard and who may or may not be related to this book's publisher. See Taves & Michaluk V009. unknown books
