1924005766Firenze: Casa Editrice G. Nerbini 1924. First edition. Wraps. Very Good. The complete run comprised of 21 installments or fascicoli of an extremely scarce Italian pulp magazine that anthologized supernatural fiction. 4to. 29.5 by 19 cm. No copies on OCLC nor in other catalogues we checked Bibliotheca Italiana etc. The magazine although produced on the cheapest of pulp paper which ages terribly did have striking cover artwork for each of its installments. The stories presented are all translations of works in English or French with the original authors never credited. There is one story per installment and the stories have titles such as "La Valanga Vendicatrice" "La Pietra Fatale" "Il Salto della Morte" "Il Telefono Misterioso" and "La Mummia senza Pollice". Casa Nerbini founded in 1897 was until 1943 a major Italian publisher of fumetti or Italian comic books. After Nerbini folded Mondadori published some of its more popular titles. Condition: the pages are heavily age toned the paper brittle and there have some some discrete archival repairs made on the cover pages. Soiling to the front cover. We would nonetheless grade the volume as being in very good condition as the issues are ones that were inevitable given the paper stock used. <br/><br/> Casa Editrice G. Nerbini paperback books

185020181Italy 1850. Pair of views gouache over faint etched line black gouache border. Period gilt and faux bois frames. Two splendid panoramic views of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore.<br/> <br/>Catering to the foreigners flocking to the region on The Grand Tour this pair of hand-painted prints beautifully depict the famed picturesque lakes with rich bands of blue highlighting the water and sky with the surrounding hills and mountains dotted with luxurious villas.

The paintings are clearly intended as a pair the images being almost identical in size with matching black painted margins. The prints are as issued with black labels covering the original printed titles. unknown books

Provenance: Horace de Landau 1824-1904 bookplate shelfmark no 47854; Vicomte de Cossette armorial bookplate. A rococo binding on a luxuriously printed and illustrated Office of the Virgin from the Salvioni press official printers to the Vatican. The Salvioni press used several workshops sometimes collectively mislabeled as the "Vatican" or "Salvioni" bindery. Those bound for the papal library were finely executed and different binderies can be identified by their tools color of leather and stylistic details. The present pretty but crowded binding decor with its in places overlapping tooling does not seem to belong to the corpus of binderies represented in for example the Vatican Library's 1977 exhibit catalogue of papal bindings. Stylistically it uses types of tools and decoration - the wide "Louis XV" style border and the basketweave cornerpieces - in vogue during the reigns of Clement XIV 1769-1774 and Pius VI 1775-1799. Its decoration is similar for example to binding no. 262 in Legature papali but it is of inferior workmanship and does not use the same tools. It was probably produced in a Roman shop executing many commissions and forced to work quickly although it could even be a provincial binding. Cf.

Provenance: with Gumuchian Catalogue XII/1930/225; Maurice Burrus bookplate purchased from Gumuchian in 1934 purchase notes at end. A striking rococo binding in fine condition on a luxuriously printed and illustrated Office of the Virgin from the official Vatican press.From the mid- to late eighteenth century the Salvioni press used one or more bookbinding workshops that produced finely gold-tooled bindings for their Vatican publications. Although often referred to as the "Salvioni bindery" this appellation is circumstantial: "the Salvioni firm was responsible for promoting the bindings but it is not known which workshop produced them" British Library Database of Bookbindings. Some of these "Vatican" bindings incorporated variously colored or mottled leather. This example with its basketweave cartouches relies purely on tooling for its effect. An example evidently from the same workshop on a book printed at Rome in 1791 by Salomini using analogous cartouches as corner-pieces as well as a similar "spiraling" border design and some of the same leafy spray and star tools is reproduced in Legature papali no. 264."Whereas the . more flamboyant bindings produced by the Salvioni Bindery rely frequently on polychrome enamel heightening these Vatican bindings strike a somewhat more sober note with their very fine dark-red morocco and rich gold-tooling of high quality" Martin Breslauer Catalogue 107/428.Gumuchian Catalogue de Reliures du XVe au XIXe siecle no. 225 plate 68.

197116792Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy -- an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown books
