1910159737New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. 1910. Pogány's masterpiece Signed limited edition numbered 125 of 525 copies signed by the artist. Pogány's illustrated edition of Coleridge's famous long poem is one of the artist's most lavish undertakings and was clearly inspired by the grand medieval tradition of book illustration. The book was co-published by George Harrap in the UK and Thomas Y. Crowell in the US. As noted by Richard Dalby "Willy Pogány was Dulac's most successful European contemporary during the highest peak of the Golden Age of book illustration. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was his most ornate and impressive production with hand-scripted text full-page black and white drawings and colour plates tipped-in on grey matte paper. This combination of illustration and calligraphic text by the artist was rarely repeated". Quarto. With title page 20 tipped-in colour plates other full page illustrations each page of text within decorative borders all by Willy Pogány. Original brown calf spine and front cover lettered and illustrated in gilt top edge gilt others untrimmed. Some abrasions to covers; a near-fine and bright copy with uncreased plates.

195505614HISTORIC LETTER TYPED LETTERS between Willy Ley & Mrs. Fritz Lang the former dated 7-11-1955 one page over 200 words and SIGNED & the latter dated 7 -25 -1955 one page about 175 words and SIGNED respectively concerning the origin of "The Countdown" in rocket launches. It seems that in the former letter Ley realizes that the first time he encountered such a thing was in Lang's film FRAU IM MOND a silent film released in 1929. He writes to ask Lang if this was an original thought on his part. Mrs. Lang answers for her husband who is on vacation after many weeks work on NEWS IS MADE AT NIGHT in the affirmative! A seemingly historic correspondence. N.p. unknown
