1905009031Spooner Wisconsin 1905. Card. Very good. Four card-mounted photographs each measuring approximately 7" x 5". One of the cards is blind-stamped "L. L. Richardson Spooner Wis." and one has a later annotation on the reverse "Shell Lake Lumber / Spooner Wisconsin." The photographs are in nice shape; there is some wear and soiling to the cards; one card has a marginal dampstain. The photographs show: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Seven lumberjacks posed on a small dock with an axe adze and two-man crosscut saw <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Five lumberjacks resting on a large log in front of what appears to be a very large hoist or crane <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Two lumberjacks posing in front of a 15-foot high log pile taking a break from stripping bark and <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Two lumberjacks posing with a two-horse team in a snowy clearing. <p>L. L. Richardson was a Walworth County photographer who worked from a shop in Spooner between 1905 and 1906. <br /><br />Shell Lake Lumber was the largest lumbering company in the region during the early 1900s. The rivers and streams in this area of Wisconsin were not suitable for transporting logs so the area's forests remained virtually untouched until the arrival of the railroad in 1880 after which a large sawmill was built. The company operated a number of mobile logging camps throughout the region that moved from place to place to harvest new stands of timber. The yellow pine harvested by Shell Lake was highly prized and commanded a significant premium for its superior girth height and exceptionally straight and clear bodies. <br /><br /> books
1782263934London: J. Stockale; R. Faulder 1782. First Edition. Half Leather. Very Good binding. Ritson's first book in which he attacks Thomas Warton's History of English Poetry in such vitriolic tones -- Warton is a preternder a cheater and a liar -- as to cause quite a contretemps in late 18th century English literary circles. One assumes this actually pleased Ritson as he went on the next year to attack Samuel Johnson and George Steevens. Eventually Ritson went complete mad barricading himself in his rooms at Gray's Inn and setting fire to a pile of manuscripts. In an attractive later binding in red half-goat over marbled board with raised bands. We assume the binder was charged with binding a group of different books to a uniform size -- the title page is trimmed and mounted and all the other leaves are folded neatly to fit the bottom edge and then the leading edge over it. Rather astonishing actually. Very Good binding. J. Stockale; R. Faulder unknown books

17971002815Cambridge: J. Burges Printer to the University 1797. First editions of these historical Shakespeare studies by James Plumptre 1771-1832 a young playwright and fellow at Clare Hall Cambridge later a clergyman. Plumptre argues through an elaborate series of parallels that the character of Gertrude in Hamlet is intended as a critique of Mary Queen of Scots who like Gertrude remarried hastily under a cloud. Plumptre characterizes Hamlet as an effort by Shakespeare to secure the approval of Elizabeth I "to flatter his mistress by adding his drop to the flood of calumny poured out against her rival." The final page of the Appendix advertises Plumptre's first two plays The Coventry Act: A Comedy 1793 and Osway: A Tragedy 1795 as well as a forthcoming two-part drama entitled Mary Queen of Scots which was apparently never published. Bound in a single volume these presentation copies of Observations of Hamlet and its Appendix are both inscribed to literary scholar William Richardson 1743-1814 at the University of Glasgow. Richardson's Philosophical Analysis and Illustration of Some of Shakespeare's Remarkable Characters appeared in 1774 and featured a chapter on Hamlet. These Plumptre essays are uncommon. I have been unable to locate an extant presentation copy of either work and neither title has appeared at auction since 1973. A near-fine pair of presentation copies handsomely bound in period style by Philip Dusel. Two octavo volumes bound in one measuring 8 x 5 inches: 6 44; 2 85 1. Recent full polished calf boards tooled in blind with a floral border spine decoratively tooled in gilt red morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Bound without half-title for Appendix. Inscribed by Plumptre to William Richardson on half-title of Observations and title of Appendix. Publisher's advertisement on final page of Appendix. J. Burges, Printer to the University unknown books
