Wheat Books 63. George Horatio Derby 1823-1861 also known as John Phoenix or John P. Squibob or just Squibob was an 1846 West Point graduate. As a Lt. in the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers he participated in the Mexican-American war and was assigned to California in 1849. Under General Riley Military Governor he explored and mapped of California and Oregon during the early years of the Gold Rush. To supplement his army income he wrote humorous articles and this book on the irreverent side of California life.

18843276New York: Appleton and Company 1884. Twelfth edition. Very good. 8vo. Frontispiece engraved by Bobbett-Hooper 274 pp. 2 pp. advertisements. Original publisher's brown cloth gilt decorated endpapers. Cloth covers with some minor blemishes lower corner of back cover inexplicably abraided. Overall in excellent condition the gilding glowingly bright without any cracks to the inner hinges or inscriptions or markings of any kind. NOT ex-library! "Phoenixiana" is one of the earliest collections of California humor. However to be perfectly honest we don't really care much about the contents: we know that humor ages very badly whereas tragedy transcends the ages. Physically the present volume has not aged badly at all. We are naturally attracted to it for the following admittedly shallow reasons: <br/><br/>1. the condition is really quite good; 2. the weird demonic figure on the frontispiece reappears on the front cover and the spine features an elaborate design of a demon dipping a quilled pen into an anthropomorphic ink-well which we absolutely ADORE.<br/><br/>We cannot identify the artist with certainty. The frontispiece is signed "Bobbett-Hooper" who were extremely prolific engravers and color printeres in New York City and Brooklyn during the second half of the 19th century. Alfred "Albert" Bobbett was born in London in 1824 and died at his NYC work desk in 1888. His partner Edward Hooper 1829-1870 predeceased him but the firm continued and prospered as Bobbett-Hooper.
