1945D7489likely Germany 1945. Paperback. Very Good. Heavy cardstock leaves oblong 325 x 250 mm bound with thin blue rope tassled along spine; pp. 54 with text handwritten in black ink in German and English with original illustrations in ink or ink and gouache both in text and full-page. Created from 32 leaves some of them glued together along the edges creating a new page when the author/illustrator wanted to change her lay-out text or illustration -- these have since become detached offering an interesting look at the author's creative process. Binding broken and leaves loose but in excellent condition suitable for display. The artwork is extraordinary -- showing cute little chicks as their adventure takes them from fields full of flowers to lakes brimming with colorful fish. It tells a story of 3 little chicks who find a mysterious blue egg which they are told not to play with but they do and learn some valuable lessons from the consequences. Though little is known about the author she appears in a tiny b/w photograph on the ultimate full-page illustration. More of her unrelated artwork is laid-in at rear including pastels of trees floral arrangements in gouache -- lovely suitable for framing. <br/><br/> paperback books
51-2639Murphys California: 1960s-1980s. About 60 letterpress flyers and other ephemera and metal type.Quyle started printing in the 1950s when he and his wife Joyce needed labels to put on items for sale in their Murphys shop. He acquired a simple hand press and set to work quickly realizing that the work activity was going to become a hobby that would morph into a passion.His press made in 1825 was for a time the oldest iron press in the United States until an acquaintance of Quyle’s found one that was one year older. Between the two printers and their presses hand-press scholars were able to solve what had been a mystery: The bar that pulls the press was attached to one side in 1825 and on the other side a year earlier so now it is known when that change was made.In addition to the Columbian Quyle had 27 other hand presses in storage. He is a member of the Moxon Chappel a group of printers who meet to share printing projects. Quyle has been a member for 35 years and said the group consists of amateurs and professionals who have held meetings all over the United States and in Egypt and Mexico.
