19205313<p>Large quarto 27.5x22.5 cm. wrappers 10 pp. The Omanut or Omonuth publishing house Moscow-Odessa-Frankfurt-Tel Aviv and its Gamiliel Library of children's literature was founded by the scion Shoshana Persitz 1894-1969 funded by her father Hillel Zlatopolskii and her husband Iosif Persitz. Shoshana was 24 when she began the press. Omanut is the Hebrew word for "art." Shoshana was deeply involved already in the Tarbut group which in 1917 vowed to restore Hebrew language and she wanted Hebrew to be the mother tongue of Russian Jews who were historically prosecuted and Hebrew was confined to religious texts. Persitz was inspired by the esthetics of the Mir iskusstva group of artists and to print children's books with fine works of renowned Western authors --- Lewis Carroll Jules Verne Charles Dickens and printed as beautifully as possible. Jewish children would thus be able to partake of best children's literature in their own language. This would be a <em>hidur Mitzvah</em> --- a sanctification of the world through beauty inculcated into young Jewish readers. Originating in Moscow in 1918 Persitz was unable to print the first titles there because the Bolsheviks nationalized her equipment. She with her family together with the entire Tarbut group relocated in a special train provided by a German diplomat to Odessa where the press found temporary quarters. In Odessa the artist group Havarut Tzavarim was formed and connected with Omanut. It consisted of four Jewish artists who provided graphics for most of the books issued under the Gamiliel Library imprint. They decided not to attribute work to any one member acting as a single <em>bunt</em>. After Odessa fell to the Soviets and the revolutionary government posed the same threat to the press there Persitz exiled to Germany at Homburg vor der Höhe near Frankfurt where Omanut continued to publish and release the largest number of titles of the Gamiliel Library which were twelve in all. In 1925 the press moved from Europe to Tel-Aviv and Shoshana became a member of the Knesset. The Omanut publishing house continued to 1945 with a strong emphasis on educational texts. But the Gamliel Library was discontinued after leaving Europe and received scant attention thereafter. A beautiful chapter of Hebrew children's literature deserves to be more widely known and honor paid to this wonderful series released in small quantities and currently held by institutions. The present work The Nightengale has rtwork by Heorhyi Narbut 1886-1920 Ukrainian master graphic artist for this famous tale of Hans Christian Andersen. One of the early releases of this series from Odessa by the Omanut Press which originated with Knebel's Russian language printing. One institutional holding found worldwide LOC.

182939136Kjøbenhavn Reitzel 1829. Small 8vo. Original blank wrappers.A few scattered brownspots but a very good copy in completely original condition as it was issued. <br/><br/><em>First edition of Hans Cristian Andersen's third publication in book form and his first dramatic work. This seminal publication marked his stage-debut and was not only the first work that he wrote for the theatre but also the first of his works that was performed on the stage. It is with the present work "Love in Nicolai Tower" that Hans Christian Andersen inaugurated his dramatical production a genre that came to define much of his literary production for the next forty years over the cause of which he produced about as many plays - i.e. ab. 40. The question as to acceptance from the theatre and the the set-up of the plays however -especially at the beginning of his career - would often postpone the actual theatre debut by many months sometimes years. Thus many of his early plays were only performed on the stage much later. "Kjærlighed on Nicolai Taarn" however was accepted almost immediately and was performed already the following year marking his theatre debut. </em> unknown

1846158671846. "The Emperor's New Clothes" Translated by Charles Boner with Numerous Illustrations by the Count Pocci. London: Joseph Cundall 1846. Original blind-stamped blue morocco-grain cloth.<br/> <br/> First Edition in English of this group of fairy tales -- one of three different groups of Andersen tales accomplished in 1846 by three different translators and three different London publishers. The nine tales in this edition are "The Nightingale" "The Buckwheat" "The Fellow-Traveller" "The Resolute Leaden Soldier" "The Flying Trunk" "The Garden of Paradise" "The Wild Swans" "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Ole Lucköie." The first-published of the three earlier in 1846 was Andersen's first book in English -- Chapman & Hall's WONDERFUL STORIES FOR CHILDREN translated by Mary Howitt though misspelling the author's last name; it did not do well largely because both this Cundall group of tales and William Pickering's DANISH FAIRY TALES AND LEGENDS translated without credit by Caroline Peachey came out soon after. The C&H group generally did not include any of the tales for which Andersen is known today; the only C&H tales reappearing in this Cundall volume are "The Constant Tin Soldier" sic "The Garden of Paradise" and "Ole Lucköie." "The Wild Swans" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" first appeared both in the Pickering volume and in this Cundall volume the precedence between those two is unknown. Included are four plates plus numerous chapter head-pieces and tail-pieces by "the Count Pocci" Franz Graf von Pocci an artist writer and composer who was also an official in the court of King Ludwig of Bavaria. This volume is still in the original blue cloth and is in very good-plus condition little soil or wear though the volume is recased preserving the original pale-yellow endpapers with reinforcing strips at the gutters. In our experience this Cundall edition is the scarcest of the three 1846 collections of tales. See Quayle CHILDREN'S p. 40. unknown

192434141New York: Doubleday Doran 1924. First Edition and a copy with Excellent Provenance. Presented by Henriette Wyeth Hand to Anne Wyeth McCoy. With 12 very fine tipped-in color plates numerous black & white illustrations as frontispieces to each tale and additional decoration throughout all by Kay Nielsen. 4to in the original black cloth featuring a black metallic silver and orange pictorial pastedown on the upper cover the spine lettered and decorated in silver with decorative endpapers. 280 pp. the upper pastedown pristine the silver lettering and decorations on the spine with some flaking as is unfortunately the norm. FIRST EDITION OF THE QUARTO PRINTING. This collection of sixteen tales was initiated by Nielsen in 1912 though it was not published until 1924. Andersen's beloved tales were an excellent inspiration for Nielsen who produced some of his finest images for this title.<br> Sixteen of Andersen's tales are included. Interestingly 'The Little Mermaid' is not included among them. In 1937 Nielsen went to work for Walt Disney. He was renowned at the Disney studio for his concept art and he contributed artwork for many Disney films. Around 1940 he produced concept paintings for a proposed adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid'. The film however was not made within Nielsen's lifetime. The paintings however would remain with the studio for over 40 years and did not go unused they provided much of the look and style of Disney's 1989 film. That film is given credit for breathing life back into the art of animated feature films and remains one of the studios most popular features to date. Doubleday, Doran hardcover

All edges gilt. Excellent clean and well-preserved set w. numerous beautiful illustrations. W. both half-titles and frontispieces. <br/><br/><em>Two first editions both containing the first French translations of the present works by Hans Christian Andersen. With original handwritten and signed presentations in both volumes from the translator Ernest Grégoire for Robert Watt.Robert Watt 1837-94 was a leading figure in the Danish modernist breakthrough 1870-90 and a famous figure in Danish cultural life in the second half of the 19th century. In spite of the age difference he became closely connected with Hans Christian Andersen and it was he who accompagnied Andersen to the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867. He was also the one to encourage Andersen to have his fairy tales translated into and published in French and he is the one who made this translation happen. Thus this particur presentation copy is of great interest.In his diaries from 1873 and 1874 Andersen fairly frequently writes about the preparation of this translation about Watt and Gregoire. On the 31st of March Vol. X p. 54-55 he writes: "Besøg af Watt der havde faaet Brev fra den franske Journalist Gregoire der vilde oversætte og lade illustrere mine Eventyr med Undtagelse af dem Soldi havde udgivet." "Visit by Watt who had received a letter from the French journalist Gregoire who wanted to translate my fairy tales and have them illustrated except for the ones that Soldi had published." own translation . On several occations Andersen worries about the rights to the French translations and he is not happy with the fact that Gregoire apparently claims them. On the 13th of April Vol. X p.64 he writes: "-Hele Dagen Hoste og mit Nerveuse Middag hos Eduard Collin der skrev for mig en Skrivelse til Gregoire efter min Opfattelse og ikke som Watt havde givet mig til Underskrift. Strax paa Aftenen kom Watt og blev ilde stemt ved at jeg ikke vilde underskrive hans Skrivelse sagde at MIN havde ikke Betydning for Loven i Paris jeg forstod ikke hele hans Forklaring og da han vedblev kom jeg i saadan nerveus Stemning at jeg brast i Graad og sank om paa Sophaen." - The entire day cough and my nerves dinner at Eduard Collin who wrote for me a letter for Gregoire according to my conception and not like Watt had given me to sign. As soon as evening fell Watt came and became ill disposed because of me not wanting to sign his letter said that MINE had no significance according to the law in Paris I did not understand all of his explanation and when he kept on going I became so nervous that I broke down crying and collapsed on the couch." own translation .Robert Watt later 1886 became the director of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen where he among many other things installed the famous rollar coaster. </em> hardcover
