19231344Heine Heinrich. 1799-1856. <b>Der Rabbi von Bacherach</b> mit Originallithographien von Max Liebermann. Berlin: Im Prophlaen Verlag 1923. #279 of 400 with signed frontispiece and limitation page by Liebermann and 17 full or partial page lithographs in black. The first 100 were printed on Japan Vellum. <br /><br />Folio. Publisher's half-morocco with title in gold with yellow board sides bearing a lithograph on the upper cover. Printed on laid paper. Original open slipcase with paper label joints split. 58p. Fine copy with a touch of wear to spine ends. <b>The Rabbi of Bacharach</b> set in the middle ages is Heine's unfinished novel that describes the ordeal of Rabbi Abraham and his wife in the small town of Bacharach Germany . <br /><br />Gentiles come to the Passover Seder in order to secretly plant a body of a Christian child. They will accuse the Rabbi of ritual murder. Then when he is taken away they will rob his home. The rabbi and his "schönne" beautiful Sarah manage to leave their home during an interval in the seder and run to the river docks. They are then transported for a fee down the Mainz to Frankfurt where they enter into the Jewish quarter without incident. In that quarter life is fully described with all its variety and color. <br /><br /> This unfinished story remains popular because it pictures life in the medieval Jewish community with detailed description of worship customs and pecking orders as well as dress manners and a variety of activities within the Jewish quarter. Liebermann's realistic sketchbook style depicts scenes with a charcoal drawing like simplicity. The stark flat depiction creates an atmosphere of dark foreboding. <br /><br />The 19th century poet Emma Lazarus wrote a biographical sketch of Heine that includes commentary on The Rabbi of Bacharach: "During the period of his earnest labors for Judaism Heine had buried himself with fervid zeal in the lore of his race and had conceived the idea of a prose-legend the Rabbi of Bacharach illustrating the persecutions of his people during the middle ages. Heine one of the most subjective of poets treats this theme in a purely objective manner. He does not allow himself a word of comment much less of condemnation concerning the outrages he depicts. He paints the scene as an artist not as the passionate fellow-sufferer and avenger that he is. But what subtle eloquence lurks in that restrained cry of horror and indignation which never breaks forth and yet which we feel through every line gathering itself up like thunder on the horizon for a terrific outbreak at the end!" <br /><br />Refer: Lazarus Emma 1849-1887 From the Biographical Sketch of the life of Heinrich Heine reprinted in The Rabbi of Bacharach by Heinrich Heine.

185642599New York: G.P. Putnam & Company 1856. Tinted lithograph on proof paper tipped onto a bristol board with glossy back as issued with additional hand colouring. A quietly revealing image from Heine's Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition: the American encounter with the Ryukyu Islands in Japan where diplomacy observation and coastal movement preceded the better-known landings in Japan.<br/> <br/> This plate is one of the more understated images in Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition and that restraint is part of its appeal. Lew Chew was the period Western name for the Ryukyu Islands and On-Na corresponds to Onna on Okinawa. The scene shows a kung-kwa or village rest house set back behind a low wall and gate its tiled roof partly screened by trees. Heine gives the building a strong sense of place: the whitewashed wall shaded yard garden growth and open path all suggest a local administrative or stopping-place outside the more formal diplomatic centres of Naha and Shuri. In the foreground one figure sits with a portfolio or sketchbook while another stands nearby. Ryukyuan figures appear closer to the building absorbed into the architecture and enclosure of the scene. The print therefore records more than a picturesque stop on the route to Japan turning a coastal village structure into evidence of landscape architecture custom and access. Within the Perry visual record Kung-Kwa at On-Na is valuable precisely because it shifts attention from treaty ceremony to the quieter geography of the voyage. It places Okinawa within the wider American itinerary through the China Seas the Ryukyus and Japan and preserves a carefully observed view of a Ryukyuan public building at the moment when the islands were being drawn into the diplomatic and commercial mapping of the Pacific. Wilhelm Heine was the official artist on Commodore Matthew C. Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-54. On returning to the United States he produced several series of prints commemorating the trip. A group of six elephant-folio prints appeared in 1855 and the following year a second volume was issued in a smaller format with different images and with explanatory text. Both projects employed the New York lithographic firm of Sarony among the best lithographers in the United States at that time.<br/> <br/> Bennett p.53; McGrath American Color Plate Books 123. G.P.

185642582New York: G.P. Putnam & Company 1856. Tinted lithograph mounted on support sheet with printed letters as issued with small stab holes where previously bound. A mid nineteenth century view of Macao China from Penha Hill published as the first topographical scene in Heine's Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition showing the city's harbour churches fortified heights and waterfront at a moment when Macao's older role in the China trade was being overtaken by Hong Kong.<br/> <br/> Heine's view looks down from Penha Hill across Macao's semi-circular harbour with the town rising in terraces from the waterfront toward its churches gardens and fortified heights. The composition places Macao's maritime and religious identity in a single prospect: small vessels fill the inner harbour larger ships lie farther out and the built town gathers around the shoreline beneath prominent ecclesiastical and defensive structures. In the foreground porters carrying shoulder poles and a seated group of robed women animate the hillside road giving the view a local and social immediacy beyond its topographical function. Macao had developed from the sixteenth century as the principal Portuguese settlement on the South China coast occupying a narrow peninsula near the entrance to the Pearl River system and serving as a crucial intermediary point in trade between China Japan India and Europe. Its urban form is clearly legible in Heine's image. The waterfront known as the Praia curves around the harbour below the elevated town while Penha Hill provides the high vantage from which Macao appears as an amphitheatre of houses churches gardens and forts descending toward the water. By the time Heine's view was published Macao's commercial standing had changed substantially. Hong Kong occupied by Britain in 1841 and rapidly developed as a free port drew away much of the foreign trade that had once passed through Macao. Heine's print records the older Portuguese city in this altered commercial landscape: still picturesque densely built and socially important as a resort and residence for foreign merchants connected with Canton but no longer the dominant European entrepôt on the China coast. Seen from Penha Hill Heine's Macao appears as a harbour city where Portuguese civic and religious landmarks Chinese geography and nineteenth-century treaty-port commerce meet in a single prospect.

185642598New York: G.P. Putnam & Company 1856. Tinted lithograph on proof paper tipped onto a bristol board with glossy back as issued with additional hand colouring. A fine plate of Shimoda harbour in Japan showing the Benten temple on a rocky tree-covered rise above the water from Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition.<br/> <br/> Shimoda or "Simoda" in the period spelling used here had particular importance for Perry's expedition. Under the Treaty of Kanagawa signed on 31 March 1854 it was one of the two ports opened to American vessels for supplies and refuelling. Heine records the harbour as a coastal landscape of daily movement local religious architecture and practical maritime activity. In the foreground Japanese boatmen haul a long narrow boat through the surf while a second boat lies angled on the beach at right. Beyond them the temple rises from a small rocky promontory half hidden among trees and reached by a stepped landing and gate with low mountains and a heavy cloud filled sky in the distance. The titles "Ben-Teng" refers to Benten or Benzaiten a deity often associated with water and shoreline shrines. This gives the image a specificity beyond its topographical interest: Heine presents Shimoda through a recognisable local sacred site placed directly within the harbour that had become newly significant in American and Japanese relations. The composition balances picturesque scenery ethnographic observation and the physical geography of a newly opened treaty port giving equal weight to topography and local life.

Recent paper-covered card binding; part of front wrapper affixed to front board; 5 109 pp. Internally very good. First complete Russian translation of Heine's "Das Buch Le Grand" 1927. The work had been previously published in Russia but as the translator notes with significant cuts by the censor which greatly distorted Heine's humor and wit. Originally published in 1927 "Das Buch Le Grand" was the second of Heine's "Reisebilder". It is a work which embraces the spirit of Napoleon and the French Revolution and it served to cement his reputation as a witty leader among liberal German writers. It was This new edition was published in Bern Switzerland using a fictitious imprint at the printer's shop of V. I. Bakst founded in 1862 to satisfy a growing need for revolutionary and other illegal materials which could not be printed in Russia. Bakst was also instrumental in setting up a St. Petersburg illegal typography in 1862. A somewhat censored and shortened edition of Mainov's translation appeared in Moscow the same year. Ironically given Heine's own issues with censorship and his literary fate in nineteenth-century Russia this translation reproduces the fictitious censored passage in the original in which Heine composed a paragraph of dashes leaving only the words "The German censors. Idiots." KVK OCLC only show the copies at Humboldt Universität SLUB Dresden and Universitätsbibliothek J. C. Senckenberg. Not at the Russian State or National Libraries. unknown books
