001956Bruges and Ostende: J. Buffa. Half Morocco . Very Good. Cham Victor Eeckhout H. Borremans van Cuyck Gerlier F. Stroobant J. Van de Putte Baldisseroni de Nestele spellings of these names somewhat elastic. N.d. circa 1860. A fabulous collection of hand-colored plates of the popular Belgian beach resort with a mix of character studies mostly of the local non-fashionable citizenry humorous genre scenes and views of the beach the architecture the beachgoers the sea. 52 plates in all all but one of which is hand-colored the final plate is a folding tinted panorama of the beach looking in from the sea . Some of the beach scenes are evocative of Boudin. The mix of humor and more sober portraits lends a balance from which we can better approximate the culture and atmosphere at this early destination resort. And through the pictures we can sense the uneasy embrace of the vacationing bathers with the sea. The colored plates are all 13.5 by 10 inches or 34 by 25 cm including their margins. The plates are mostly clean but there is some finger soiling and the like in the margins and a few plates have chips and small chunks of card missing never affecting the images. Rebacked with attractive green morocco. The contemporary cloth boards are soiled with a few minor edge dings. No title and no evidence there ever was one. <br/><br/> J. Buffa unknown books

005029Esslingen and München: Verlag von J. F. Schreiber. Hardcover. Front board: pictorial paper pastedown. Cloth spine. . Near Fine. An exceptionally clean and bright copy of this juvenile audience plate book depicting geography and domestic and work life. N.d. circa 1870s. Small folio. 32 by 21.5 cm. 5 7 1 pp followed by 30 double-sided hand-colored plates. Each plate measures 32 by 40 cm. The plates depict the home rural and urban the city the farm a vineyard tools a church interior a city market a winter skating scene a mountain landscape a railroad station a forest etc. The point was to educate children about the features of all these places and spaces and incidentally impart the vocabulary -- the many nouns -- associated with them. Nowadays the plates are simply wonderfully decorative with their bright chromolithography and evocation of a lost world. And the great Meggendorfer was responsible for three of the plates! Light wear to the cover. One of the plates has a minor closed tear by its fold. But as we indicated an unusually appealing copy. <br/><br/> Verlag von J. F. Schreiber hardcover books
19043810London: John F. Shaw 1904. First edition. Publisher's quarter decorated cloth over full-color glazed pictorial boards corners a little worn.Small quarto 9 5/8 x 7 1/8 in; 245 x 180 mm. A few illustrations hand-colored by a child. Closed tear to bottom edge of page. 17. Early ink presentation dated "Christmas 1905" on front paste-down. Illustrated throughout in black and white and color with fifteen drawings by Louis Wain and an unrecorded text drawing by Arthur Rackham so initialed on page 40. Unrecorded and scarce with no copies noted in the Wain or Rackham bibliographies.<br/><br/>Anytime an unrecorded book illustration by Arthur Rackham comes to light it's an item for collectors to note. Buried within this book unheralded on page forty is a black and white text illustration of four chickens in various states of distress as they observe in high dudgeon and with no little annoyance a cat within their food bucket chowing down the chicken feed. And at the lower left of the bucket as small as can be are Rackham's initials as typically drawn. Latimore and Haskell and Riall make no mention of this illustration in their Rackham bibliographies and the Arthur Rackham Society expressed no knowledge of it when we inquired. A true scarcity -- a previously unknown Rackham during his transitional period when his fairies and goblins were emerging but had not yet fully vanquished the simple pay-the-bills work of his early years.<br/><br/>Cf. Dale 34 and 35. John F. Shaw unknown books

Antson 1899-1945 was an Estonian teacher journalist and writer who participated in the "Aktsioon" "Action" literary group and co-published the eponymous series of almanacs 1926 1927 and 1929. In addition to his travel writing Antson was known for his plays which were often leftist and pacifist in orientation. Much of his work was influenced by expressionism and detailed the horrors of war and revolution. This collection of satirical epigrams in three volumes published over six years a final fourth volume appeared in 1946 takes sharp aim at the literary cultural but also political establishment not only in Estonia but in Europe at large witness the "Hitler" epigram in the 1933 collection!. The set also represents a striking cross-section of Estonian modernist design of the late 1920s with one wrapper each designed by Peet Aren 1889-1970 Märt Laarman 1896-1979 and Jaan Vahtra 1882-1947. Laarman was one of the outstanding followers of cubism and constructivism in Estonia. His "numerous book-covers and illustrations present the possibilities of applying such a method in the field of book graphics that is based upon the constructive rhythm of simple and expressive planes. Moreover Laarman was the first to apply the principles of Elementary Typography new at that time in the design of architectonically expressive and homogeneous books" Rein Loodus 21. In addition to his own work Laarman was also instrumental in furthering public awareness of avantgarde art: "Laarman edited and published The Book of New Art 1928 the group's programmatic almanac which helped the public develop a better understanding of the avant-garde" Art of the Baltics 38.
