194512833Cummington MA: Cummington Press 1945. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Large octavo unpaginated. A notoriously fragile book and one of only "a few" per Edelstein see below copies bound in rose-colored Japanese Natsume straw-paper over boards. The calf spine is worn at the extremities but less so than is often seen and the binding is sound. Gentle wear to corners but a sharp internally clean example; very good. Lacking as usual the plain glassine dust jacket. This is number 260 of 300 limited copies another 40 were signed by Stevens. Edelstein A10 references an unpublished letter from Harry Duncan publisher of the Cummington Press to Stevens which reads in part: "Five copies will be mailed to you on Monday. One of these is covered with rose paper not with the green . Only a few copies have it all the available green paper not quite being enough for the entire edition." Furthermore of the six locations noted by Edelstein only Holly Stevens's copy is in the rose binding. A desirable copy. Cummington Press hardcover
17383London: The Sophistocles Press. 1929. First trade edition. First trade edition. Publisher's original pink card wrappers with title printed in black. Illustrated with 7 black and white full-page drawings by Beresford Egan. A near very good copy the binding firm with dust soiling to the covers wear to the extremities and chipping to the spine. The contents with a previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown foxing to the endpapers and the occasional mark to page margins are otherwise in good order. The drawings remain clean and bright. Percy Reginald Stephensen 1901-1965 was an Australian writer publisher and political activist first for the Communists and later for far-right groups. In this satirical work he mocks the Conservative politician Sir William Joynson-Hicks who was well-known for his authoritarianism his campaigns against Communism and his attempts to clamp down on nightclubs and what he saw as the indecent literature of the roaring twenties or what he termed "the flood of filth coming across the Channel". Notably he was heavily implicated in the banning of Radclyffe Hall's lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness 1928 as well as in forcing the publication of Lady Chatterley's Lover in an expurgated version. As D.H. Lawrence was a good friend of Stephensen this was perhaps part of the reason for the present satire. Egan's drawings greatly influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley and imbued with the spirit of 1920s decadence provide the perfect riposte to Joynson-Hick's reactionary moralising. Provenance: from the library of Martin Stone. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Japan: ca. 1855-63.<br/> <br/> With the first demonstration of steam power in Japan thanks to Commodore Perry’s visit in July of 1853 the feudal domains immediately began to organize the construction of a fleet of large Western-style warships. By the August 1853 arrival in Nagasaki of the Russian Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin who gave a demonstration of a steam engine on his ship the Palladia. Hisashige Tanaka 1799-1881 the founder of the future Toshiba Corporation and the “Thomas Edison of Japan†promptly copied these models and built Japan’s first steam engine. The first steam-powered warship to enter the Japanese navy was the Kanko Maru given by the Dutch government in 1855. Western naval technologies were quickly assimilated; the earliest Japanese steam-powered warships were based on Dutch shipbuilding manuals and with direct assistance from Dutch representatives. In 1863 Japan completed is first domestically built steam warship the Chiyodagata. Following the humiliations at the hands of foreign navies in the Bombardment of Kagoshima in 1863 the shogunate began to rely more on French and British warship technologies.<br/> <br/> The large drawing of the steam engine and its parts is captioned in trans.: “The steamship’s measurements: length is ca. 50 meters width is ca. 11 meters and depth is ca. 7 meters. Steam engine’s structure and the parts described with measurements.†From right to left we see about thirty of the parts of the steam engine often with katakana labels and measurements the latter written in red ink. On the farthest left of this sheet is a remarkable and fine drawing 770 x 380 mm. in brush with wash in various grays yellow and pink of the assembled engine.<br/> <br/> On the first leaf of the series of 12 numbered sheets of drawings of the naval architecture of the proposed warship a label pasted-on states in trans.: “The 12 sheets of illustrations are copies of red-haired origin of the ship.†These sheets contain hundreds of drawings many heightened with gray wash and many with specific measurements of various aspects of the ship’s design in preparation for construction. Included are numerous depictions of the hull deck bulkheads rudders winches and gears from different viewpoints and of structural and strengthening elements with many manuscript labels in katakana of Dutch terms.<br/> <br/> There is some worming on the sheets which does touch some drawings and characters but it is not offensive. unknown
