1992DEMO006065IStatesboro GA: The Boxwood Press 1992. First Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine. In a mahogany and copper scroll case with vertical slot and hidden crank handle; with a protective velvet cloth <br/><br/>Only 16cc.Remarkable bilingual presentation / re-interpretation of this Biblical work placing it in the the Reagan / Bush era. Illustrated with 16 color etchings by Bernard Solomon the translator and etcher. He realized there were remarkable parallels between the Biblical story of Esther and that of Anita Hill Clarence Thomas and the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. This interpretation unfolds sequentially as each leaf is unrolled from the 33 in. high scroll holder. The body of the scroll holder is one of the original copper plates used for the etchings which is why it is limited to an edition of only 16. The top and bottom of the handcrafted minaret-style case is finely shaped and polished mahogany by Anthony V. Mann. Designed with a hidden crank to rewind the scroll into the case. Altogether remarkable! The Boxwood Press hardcover

A very good copy with clean plates in a beautiful magnificent binding complete with the folding plate of the Diet of Augsburg often lacking. Housed and protected in a modern custom red cloth slipcase.<br /> <br /> Final edition of the sumptuously illustrated Kurfürstenbibel Electors' Bible with a full apparatus of introductory and historical materials. Also known as the Weimar Bible it was compiled under the auspices of Ernst I Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg. Beginning in 1641 all editions were published by the prominent German printing dynasty of Endter. The maps views and illustrated divisional titles by Jacob van Sandrart and others made their first appearance in the edition of 1686. In this latest version the illustrated sectional titles are signed by Johann Chrisopher Claussner and most of the other views lack the signatures found in the 1686 edition. The earlier forewords by Salomon Glass ed. 1641 and Ernst Solomon Cyprian ed. 1736 are reprinted in the present edition.<br /> <br /> The preliminaries feature eleven full page engravings of Saxony's Electors from Friedrich III to Bernhard der Große followed by an engraved portrait of Martin Luther. Often lacking the final fold-out engraving depicts the Holy Roman Emperor and representatives of the German states in a large reception hall during the Diet of Augsburg. Participants are identified in the legend on the facing page. The conference was assembled by Charles V so that the Princes and Free Territories in Germany might explain their religious convictions in an attempt to restore religious and political unity in the Holy Roman Empire and rally support against the Turkish invasion. The consensus of the assembly is expressed in the Augsburg Confession the primary confession of faith of the Lutheran Church and one of the most important documents of the Reformation era. Written in both German and Latin the Confession was presented at the Diet of Augsburg on 25 June 1530; it is the fourth document contained in the Lutheran Book of Concord.

Gessner 1730-88 was a painter and poet from Zurich who hoped to renew the ancient genre of the eclogue. According to Britannica he was "the most successful and typical representative of a literary rococo movement. His pastorals were translated into 20 languages including Welsh Latin and Hebrew." He was also an equally talented artist and the preface to this book is quick to note that all the etchings are of his own imagination and executed by his own hand. Gessner's close attention to detail and liberal use of dense crosshatching give each plate an intensity that is almost tactile with the pale figures in high relief against the deeply etched dark backgrounds. <br /> <br /> The binding is an excellent imitation of the work of German émigré binder Christian Kalthoeber "considered during his day to be the finest binder in the world" according to Maggs Catalogue 966. One of Kalthoeber's most recognizable designs used on at least seven bindings employed a roll-tool border enclosing a central panel with garlands and pateras across the top palmettes along the sides and at the foot two mermaids with curling tails flanking an urn. Examples of this can be seen in the sources cited above. Here the mermaids are thicker and less refined in form and the tool has been applied at a very slight angle rather than with the precision characteristic of the master. The urn and palmettes too are less expertly engraved and applied and the complex pateras of varying sizes are replaced with simpler one-size starburst ornaments. Our binder was talented enough to produce an imitation that would stand up to all but the most careful scrutiny; until one sees the binding side-by-side with a genuine Kalthoeber it is hard to register the differences. Perhaps our binder had apprenticed with Kalthoeber for he had certainly had the opportunity to study the tools very closely and he had been trained in a workshop that schooled its apprentices in fine workmanship--if not in professional ethics. <br /> <br /> The inscription notes that this copy once belonged to Henry H. Evans 1836-1917 a member of the Illinois House and Senate who made a name for himself in the ice cream and restaurant business and eventually went on to found two railways following the Civil War. The present item is appealing for its internal and external aesthetics and for the light it sheds on the binding industry and its practices at the turn of the 19th century. Chez l'auteur unknown

1967461782Rio Grande N.J.: Jumbo Discount Music Center 1967. Unbound. Fine. Flyer. Measuring 8½" x 11". Printed on yellow paper. About fine. The West Philadelphia-born Burke despite being one of the greatest transitional figures in the history of gospel R&B and soul was overshadowed by other stars but remains both one of the most important and least recognized figures in rock and roll despite his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Presumably he had to make many personal appearances in order to both promote his music and earn his living. Rio Grande is a small town at the Jersey Shore near Whitesboro which was founded as a planned residential community for African-Americans. This is a scarce and perhaps unique ephemeral documentation of one of those appearances. Jumbo Discount Music Center unknown

For the binding: Culot "Jean Claude Bozerian" roulette #18. ◆Just a hint of rubbing to upper joint of first volume small indent to front cover of volume II occasional mostly marginal mild foxing more frequent in volume II but QUITE A FINE SET clean and fresh internally with beautiful impressions of the engravings and enormous margins in lustrous bindings with few signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This is a sumptuous set approaching 20 inches tall that epitomizes the best in 18th century French book arts: a Large Paper Copy of a book that in Ray's opinion "represents one of the happiest of all collaborations between artist and writer"--all of this in a graceful binding by the preeminent Paris atelier of the day. Gessner 1730-88 was a painter and poet from Zurich who hoped to renew the ancient genre of the eclogue. In his imagined neoclassical world all the shepherdesses are beautiful virtuous and sensitive and the shepherds are always honest and respectful. This struck a chord with illustrator Jean-Jacques-François Le Barbier 1738-1826 who wrote in the dedication "the charm of Gessner's poems filled my imagination and transported it to the happy centuries of the world's innocence." It also inspired him to collaborate with Gessner on this present work. Le Barbier 1738-1826 was one of the first great French neoclassical illustrators and this work is both an important early success in that style and in Ray's words the "most sustained and accomplished series of illustrations" by the artist. Most of Le Barbier's designs for this work are set in the classical world--the exception being "Le Mort d'Abel" based on the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible. There are nymphs fauns and other fantastical creatures mingling with humans in bucolic settings. While Le Barbier illustrates many love scenes they are romantic and wistful rather than passionate; he was a master of nudes but those depicted here seem innocent rather than erotic. As Ray says "Le Barbier's emphasis is on simplicity and naturalness. We are in a different world from the witty gallantry and sophisticated sentiment of the rococo pastoral illustrations." The engravings are characterized by the clarifying use of softly radiant light and by a restrained animation and the book as a whole is "a work of harmonious distinction which admirably realizes the ideals of its author and illustrator." Ray The elegant binding by Bozerian is notable for its refinement and it continues the motif of noble simplicity set by author and illustrator. Jean-Claude Bozerian 1762-1840 was the elder of the Bozerian brothers François is referred to as "le jeune" and was active in Paris from 1795 to about 1810. He began his career in Lyon as an apprentice bookseller printer and bookbinder eventually deciding to focus on the latter craft. Marriage to the widow of binder Pierre Boulier allowed him to establish a binding workshop in Paris where he was joined by his brother. His bindings were soon much in demand by French bibliophiles who appreciated their superior materials tasteful design and flawless execution. A rich man by age 50 he decided to retire and enjoy his leisure turning his business over to his nephew Lefebvre. Gessner's "Oeuvres" typically appears in quarto; Large Paper Copies like this one are very rare especially with all of the plates in first state which according to Cohen-de Ricci is recognizable by the lack of numbering to the plates and their appearance on bluish paper. It would seem next to impossible to imagine a book with margins as wide as are seen here. Chez l'Auteur, V[eu]ve Hérissant et Barrois, l'aîne unknown
