Published by Irving Rosenthal at his Carp & Whitefish press. Each card 14 has illustrations by William Heine on one side and text by Marshall on the verso. One of the cards is folded to form a small booklet. The cards reside in a decorated envelope with a cloth string hanging from it. The cards measure 3 3/8" wide x 6 1/4" tall. Cards are in near fine condition. The envelope is a bit soiled and worn. PLEASE NOTE: This copy contains two copies of "A Snort or Rain Broom and lacks the card entitled "The Fool". Sold in as -in condition. Marshall circulated among many different poet groups of the 60's from the Beats to the Black Mountain crew and beyond and never quite settled in any one group. He was anthologized in Don Allen's New American Poetry and later appeared in many small press journals such as Measure Yugen and the Black Mountain Review. No indication of a print run but it is safe to say that not many saw the light of day. Eleven copies held in institutional hands but the book seldom comes to light in the secondary market.

19355422Vienna: Verlag des Institutes für Völkerkunde der Universität Wien 1935. First edition inscribed. Very Good/One of the principal figures of twentieth-century anthropology along with Margaret Meade Franz Boaz and others Edwin Loeb 1894-1966 went to Indonesia with a Guggenheim fellowship in 1926. He continued his field work there on and off through the end of the decade. He then spent several years in Europe organizing his material and collating it with Dutch sources before producing the volume offered here. According to the journal "American Anthropologist" this volume reflects "almost more than any other single publication Dr. Loeb's diligent and careful collection of cultural facts both by observation and from an intensive study of the literature. 25cm; 350 pages and folding map and plates. 80 black and white photo half-tones. Bound in recent cloth with original title labels on spine. Inscribed twice by Loeb "Compliments of." on the front free endleaf and again upside down on rear one.

19210053731921. Hardcover. Very Good. Exquisite and delightful manuscript account of a happy and prosperous marriage made as a commemoration on its Silver Anniversary which occurred in 1921. Folio. 38 by 27.5 cm. 10 leaves on card stock with original watercolored artwork on each page. Blue felt bevelled binding with stalks of tall grass painted in silver on the cover. The grass design repeats on the title page with the addition of cherubs and a highly ornamental painted placard bearing the title -- this placard is suspended from a stalk and held by one of the cherubs. The account begins with a young man Vienna leaving his love behind as he travels to Lyon. We are told how he misses his beloved and so follows their wedding in 1896. A stock market crash then leaves the desperate groom concerned about their future. The young family return to Vienna where he becomes a workaholic as his wife tends to the home filling it with bric-a-brac that speaks to their material well being. Finally there comes the anniversary celebration and the happiness from seeing their children grown and settled. This brief account doesn't do justice to the verse or paintings. The account is really just a few snapshots of their lives using words and pictures which work together to bring a dream-like glow to the reminiscences. Each page is framed by a decorative band of primarily blue set off by a floral festoon within it. Most pages have two illustrations with the verse written by a calligraphic hand. The illustrations are filled with a vigor and energy -- they almost seem to float above or hover over the page. We would guess that the anniversary couple's surname was Labin based on a door sign in the office scene and the company the husband worked for was named Abadie which may have been based in Paris. Beyond that we can not speak more specifically about the parties. Condition: the felt is rubbed and slightly sunned on front. The silver design is somewhat faded. Soiling along the bevelled edge. The contents are clean and bright. <br /><br /> hardcover books
