Broadside n. d. ca 1860; 6 1/2 x 10; single sheet recto only; chips to top edge with small loss of paper and a few spots to upper margin; ornate engraved border; good to very good. Called broadside ballads and a sub-genre of "street" literature these poems or narrative songs most often with scores sold separately were printed on cheap fragile paper sold by vendors and hawkers in the streets and tended to reflect sensational news of the day. In the early to mid-19th century the ballad printing market was dominated by just a few publishers including H. De Marsan publisher of the current broadside in New York Wehman Brothers and Magnus. Though many of the ballads were not illustrated De Marsan used series of stock engravings to form elaborate eye-catching ornamental borders. New York: H. De Marsan paperback books

196021470np ca. late 1960s. Hardcover. Very good. Oblong 4to. Boards. Likely commercial scrapbook but possibly ad-hoc. Containing 66pp. plus covers and one fold-out all mounted both recto and verso with color collages consisting mainly of magazine models with occassional textual elements in German many typed. Spine appears persished. But otherwise sound and apparently complete. Very good. Housed in custom Talas archival clamshell box. <br/><br/>An extraordinary and unique handmade artist's book elaborately assembled by an anonymous artist. A kinky but lighthearted celebration of female flagellantism the book appropriates quintessentially 1960s fashion models and recontextualizes them in dozens of original collages so that they are weilding whips switches and various similar tools. Paired with self-referential and irreverant texts as well as black-and-white hand-penned drawings presumably by the assembler of bondage spankings and other S&M-themed scenes the book humorously imagines Mod Girls as doms — a perhaps intentional visual pun. The collages many spanning across page spreads and including one fold-out exhibit a strikingly skillful and stylish retraint suggesting an ambition and audience beyond the merely pruriently personal. An outsider book of rare sophistication and wit: the Swinging Sixties meets Dada. Yeah baby. hardcover books

191025010Prague: Druk H. Mercy 1910. 8vo107 pp stab-stapled and glue bound into violet printed wraps. Front and back panels of wraps detached but present with the paper covering the spine mostly perished. Marginal annotations in pencil throughout. The second edition of this privately published and circulated utopian proposal to create an organized intelligentsia and foster human creativity against capitalism. Published around Whitsun in Prague it includes reactions from readers who had received the first version of the text. A third publicly published edition would follow later this same year. The work was written by Viktor Hueber a former Austrian captain who became a member of the circle which published the short-lived magazine Der Anfang in which Benjamin published his first poems and essays. Hueber was later associated with Franz Pfemfert's better known periodical Die Aktion and early issues of the magazine bore the subtitle "Publikationsorgan der Organization der Intelligenz" a reference to this work though subsequent efforts to create an actual organization based on the book's principles failed due to infighting Portner p. 140. Benjamin discusses the book in a September 15 1913 letter to Carla Seligsohn the first person he'd met who had also read the book. "Those of us who understand Hueber feel our youth complete only in the presence of his ideas- the others who feel noth- ing are not young. They have simply never been young. They took pleasure in their youth only when it was over just a memory. They did not know the great joy of its presence which we are now feeling and which I sense in your words . But in every individual who is born no matter where and turns out to be young there is not 'improvement' but perfection from the very start. This is the goal that Heuber so messianically feels is near . " McCole analyzing this same letter notes that this appears to be Benjamin's first use of the term "Messianic" in his writings McCole p. 61. The idea would haunt Benjamin's subsequent works on history and reach its conclusion in the second thesis in On the Concept of History written just before his march into the mountains. "The past carries with it a secret index by which it is referred to its resurrection. There is an agreement and an appointment between us and the generations of the past. For we have been expected upon this earth. Like the generations before us we have been given a weak messianic power which the past can lay claim to. This claim is not to be settled lightly. The historical materialist knows why." Rare. OCLC locates only two holdings and none in North America. The preceding edition is not located in OCLC. <br/><br/> Druk H. Mercy paperback books
