18997426New York: Benj. R. Tucker; Blumenberg Press 1899. Duodecimo 18.5 x 13.5 cm. 8 44 pages. Second American Edition. Preceded by the Brentano's edition circa 1898 though often considered the first American edition. This edition was published in two states the first in which the text appears on rectos only and some leaves are untrimmed; in the second the text is printed on rectos and versos: "Both editions that printed on one side and that printed on both sides are from the same type. It is therefore clear that they are not two independent editions but the one-side issue constitutes merely a kind of de-luxe variety while the two-sided is a cheaper popular version of the same edition" Horodisch pages 76-77. This copy comports with the first state with text printed one side only. A printer's binder's issue is extant as at least one leaf is hinged at the top edge. Is it possible that what Horodisch thought a deluxe issue is merely error some of which made it to the wild Issued by Benjamin R. Tucker the noted anarchist publisher and editor of the journal Liberty in which Tucker published the essay "The Criminal Jailers of Oscar Wilde" in 1895. Tucker and Emma Goldman were two of the few Americans to publicly defend Wilde during his trial George Haggerty Encyclopedia of Gay Histories and Cultures 2013 page 52.

1938148844Culver City CA: RKO Radio Pictures 1938. Vintage double weight photograph of Katharine Hepburn Howard Hawks and a resting Cary Grant on the set of the 1938 film. <br /> <br /> One of the foundational entries in the canon of American screwball comedies. Based on the short story by Hagar Wilde which originally appeared in Collier's Weekly magazine on April 10 1937.<br /> <br /> Zoologist David Huxley Grant develops a wary interest in the niece of dowager Mrs. Carelton Random Hepburn which as in all great screwball comedies is not finalized as a romance until about the last ten seconds of the film. But what makes this film singular is that the story is built around the maintenance aspects of raising a pet leopard creating a rapid-fire blur of events and dialogue that doesn't let up for the entire 102-minute running time. The film bombed upon release causing RKO to drop both of the stars but today ranks as one of the best films made by either. <br /> <br /> 8 x 10 inches.
