4671PORNOGRAPHIC WATERCOLORS. Album. 9pgs. 7 x 5. No date circa 1950s. Cleveland. A scrapbook of nine pornographic watercolors probably dating from the 1950s. On the back of the last page is a pencil note Drawn by an artist named Ganzman of Cleveland. Without giving away too many details the illustrations concern a relationship between Elsie May and Zeke and the drawings get more obscene as the book progresses. Finally Elsie Mays father a farmer shows up with a shotgun on the last page. Based on the misspellings the artist either wasnt a native English speaker or a poor speller. I do not believe this is the work of a teenage boy. The scrapbook is held together by two clasps and the edges have some wear and folds. unknown

1784ABC_46946The Netherlands 1784. Large folio 52 x 33.5 cm. Contemporary richly gold-tooled red morocco over boards sewn on 8 supports each board with a round gold-tooled green morocco inlaid centre piece gold-tooled board edges 2 pairs of green cloth ties gilt edges and block-printed paste-paper endpapers in red and yellow. The spine is also richly gold-tooled with 2 different rolls to frame the compartments and underline the leaf and flower stamps. The front and back boards match except for the gold lettering: on the front board "konst tekeningen" and on the back board "anno 1784". The tooling shows 4 different rolls used for multiple frames and numerous stamps of leaves flowers vases birds and other decorative elements. With 18 large beautifully hand-drawn and coloured illustrations of birds. 90 ll. Splendidly bound drawing book containing 18 unsigned detailed watercolour and gouache drawings of birds. The colourful birds appear to be drawn after the plates in Edward Donovan's The natural history of British birds first published in instalments between 1794 and 1819. If so the present drawings must have been added to the drawing book at least 10 years after it was bound.The blank drawing-book was bound according to the gold lettering on the back board in 1784 and the tools identify it as the work of the most important and arguably the best bindery in the 18th-century Netherlands dubbed the First Stadholder Bindery by Storm van Leeuwen. Since the names of the binders remain unknown the name now used alludes to the fact that it produced many bindings by order of the Stadholder Willem V and presumably his father Willem IV. Its great importance rests on the number of its surviving bindings the diversity of the work it produced the quality of the tooling the exceptionally large number of binding tools it must have owned and the length of time it must have been operating from at least 1722 to 1793 Storm van Leeuwen. The paper is laid with no watermark and appears to be quite consistent.Occasional minor foxing but otherwise internally fine and clean. The binding shows only slight signs of wear so both the album and the binding are in very good condition. A sumptuously bound album of attractive illustrations of British birds.l For the binding: Jan Storm van Leeuwen Bookbinding 18th century IIA pp. 67-101; for images of the rolls etc.: Jan Storm van Leeuwen De achttiende-eeuwse Haagse boekband pp. 388-395.

1815G4JCUY01U79OFrance 1815. 20th-century red goatskin morocco sewn on 5 cords with the title "Gouaches érotiques" in gold in the 2nd of 6 spine compartments double-combed marbled endpapers pasted over the original marbled pastdown; spot pattern curled. 4to 26 x 21.5 cm. A matching set of 12 erotic drawings image area about 20 x 16 cm in coloured gouaches each showing a man and woman engaged in manual vaginal or oral sex in a richly furnished interior with furniture lamps clocks vases drapery mirrors books clothing architectural ornamentation etc. Each is drawn on thick paperboard and mounted on the album leaves. A matching set of 12 skilfully executed erotic gouache drawings in numerous colours each showing a naked or more often partly undressed young man and woman engaged in manual vaginal or oral sex. Each is set in an interior in at least most cases domestic most of them richly furnished. Though the drawings depict several different men and women some of them seem to appear in more than one drawing. One drawing appears to show a home library another includes a case full of books and two others have an open book lying on the floor. Another has the woman sitting on the man's lap before a writing desk with a quill pen in her hand. These may be intended to suggest that the man is the young lady's tutor and they got distracted from their lessons. The clothing suggests couples from fairly high social standing. The clothing architectural decoration furniture clocks lamps vases etc. much of it in Empire Style suggest a date around 1815 perhaps in France.The drawings are in good condition and the binding fine. unknown

9779Newark VT: Janus Press 2018. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 2 24 ll. illus. Limited edition of one hundred numbered copies. Signed by Dawes and Gregg at the colophon. In a glued leaf binding in printed Canal paper covers. Gregg's drawings have been digitally printed here with Dawes's holographic poems letterpress printed from polymer plates around the drawings. Accompanying this is a smaller french-fold chapbook printed with matching foliation all housed in clamshell with maple wood sides in a slipcase with printed paper label. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> The chapbook offers a transcription of the holographic poems in the main work—though Dawes's handwriting is plenty legible. Additionally a short "Poet's Note" at the beginning of this chapbook describes his process of writing these poems in response to Gregg's drawings of Vallarta. He writes: "The poems collected here represent the most exciting part of making poems for me which is writing the first draft in that breakneck pace of someone in search of what a poem is offering and doing so with faith that it will eventually reveal itself to me." And of this particular collection of poems Dawes makes a fascinating observation: "I write to understand how I have been moved by the art." A beautiful idea searching for understanding through writing. A wonderful and accidental or perhaps inspired collaboration between the founder of the Vermont Studio Center and the Ghanaian poet.

Early to mid-20th century black varnished bevelled wooden frames each measuring 38.0 x 47.5 cm. = A suite of eight uniform-sized paintings each depicting a hunting scene and all in uniform frames. The animals including a cat or lynx and a white rabbit may be of a symbolic nature; two paintings however showing falcons depict a genuine hunting method. One frame differs slightly from the others in being thinner without bevelled edges. Some wear to the frames the varnish partly abraded; silk irregularly spotted as if it has been painted on the versos too. Colouring vivid and strong. A very nice unique ensemble. unknown
