Among the Hills

Among the Hills: A Book of Joy in the High Places. - First Edition. Dedication Copy With Beautiful Original Ink Drawing. Headley Brothers, London, [nd] 1911. 8vo., [vi], 326 pages, and 1 page of publisher's ads. Illustrated with photographic plates as well as 14 colour plates of paintings by two artists, the latter mounted to teal-grey linen leafs with tissue guard. Publisher's original teal cloth, gilt title to front and spine. [Later editions were printed on ordinary paper rather than the finer production mounted in this first edition; tissue guards were also omitted.] Slight shelf wear to spine, otherwise in very good and original condition, a pleasing volume with a splendid drawing. The front end paper features a charming ink drawing of two birds fluttering over a river, by a skilled artist. The artist is identified only as A.J., who dedicates the volume to E. Horace Walpole, 1-10-1912. The recipient is perhaps the illegitimate son of Horatio Walpole (1813-1894) 4th Earl of Oxford (second creation) and Lady Susan Hamilton Douglas (1814-1889) wife of the 5th Duke of Newcastle. Research to this effect is warranted to substantiate. Farrer's narrative recounts a six week exploration in the Gratian, Cottian and Maritime Alps looking for particularly rare and precious plants, so stated in his first chapter. Written for the cultivator and lover of plants who share his passion, as opposed to the collector of samples, his work is a beautifully written and highly detailed account of the plants' features, habitat, preferred conditions for growth, and so forth. At the end of the work he evidently felt it necessary to dispel an accusation of having devastated regions in the valleys of the Alps, a charge which contradicted the very essence of his work.

Handwritten and Illustrated Family History

1950D7341Worsthorne Lancashire c. 1950. Hardcover. Fine. Black white red and gilt decorative Christmas paper over boards; 185 x 273 mm; pp. 83 handwritten in ink with more than 20 drawings and watercolors including vignettes decorative flourishes and full-page scenes. A florid orderly feminine hands records a very personal account of her childhood memories and family history composed in hindsight and lamenting "the present world. of H. Bombs Nuclear Tests Atomic Secrets Radioactivity planes hurling through the air with deafening noise. The levity of my sketch Wordsorth forgive for like you 'Have I not reason to lament what man has made of man'" She also references "peace time" making it clear that she has some familiarity with war and this is perhaps why the entire volume is a careful balancing act between a retreat to the past told cheerfully as though to a child and a more somber rumination on her present. The artwork is invariably accomplished -- ranging from lovely floral themes animals portraits of children and one of Queen Elizabeth landscapes and family houses to somewhat fantastical renderings of human forms floating in the air. She also carefully draws and colors two pictorial maps of locales she recalls from her youth and tips on 2 photographs b/w silver gelatin prints of her grandmother's shawl and bonnet and 1 photograph of a broadside advertising the auction of her uncle's John Crowther sheep and sheep dogs. John her fathers younger brother died in 1887 after being struck by lightning. The family sells his home Jacksons House in Worsthorne in 1888 and moves north leaving their convent education for the Home Farm of Ormrod House belonging to her great grandmother. Photographs were printed in Cheriton Folkestone. Locations on her maps include the River Douglas Rufford Parbold Lathom House Ormskirk Scarisbrick Hall Ainsdale Birkdale Crossens Greeves Hall and more.

First edition in book form one of 205 copies quarto size 22pp. signed by Brother Antoninus with prospectus. A heart-wrenchingly beautiful paean by one famous poet Brother Antoninus William Everson 1912-1994 to another John Robinson Jeffers 1887-1962 upon his death. "The great tongue is dried. / The teeth that bit to the bitterness / Are sheathed in truth. / For the poet is dead." For those who may not know the Auerhaun Press was founded by Dave Haselwood who relates its beginnings in the opening pages of the "Auerhahn Press Bibliography" thus: "During the Summer of 1958 I drifted around San Francisco talking endlessly with painters such as Robert LaVigne and Jesse Sharpe & poets Lamantia McClure Wieners and reading all the live poetry & prose I could get my hands on. It was at this time that it occurred to me that the press could mean a great many things some personal some in a larger context: - I had reached the point where complete physical involvement in something important to me was absolutely necessary. The press could fill that requirement" pp. 5-6. Andrew Hoyem joined the Press and became a partner; his meticulous attention to detail and skill at design and layout are evident here which would become hallmarks of his work at the Arion Press. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter purple leather over ivory paper-covered boards white paper spine label with gilt lettering title page in purple and black the introduction "Note" and poem both with a two-line purple initial capital each stanza of the poem interspersed with a small purple circle signed by Brother Antoninus on the blank following the last page of the text; binding quarto size 10 3/4" by 8 1/8" unpaginated with twelve leaves; one of 205 copies unnumbered. The dust wrapper of plain white the prospectus a single sheet folded once to four pages an illustration on the front page in purple by Philip Van Aver text on the third page with purple initial capitals the second and final pages blank measuring 8 9/16" by 5 1/2" when closed. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine and could likely be deemed fine the boards clean other than light offsetting where the paper meets the leather and a tiny speck at the fore-edge bottom corner of the front board straight corners without rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; some light offsetting to the paste-down endpapers and a few very small spots of foxing to the same else fine. The dust wrapper a bit better than very good mostly clean other than a few light stray marks light edgewear mostly at the head and tail but with a fair amount of sunning to the spine and back panel; the prospectus fine clean utterly without wear or soil. ___CITATION: Auerhahn Press bibliography no. 24; Bartlett and Campo no.

Born in Syria in 1907 as Karnik Zouloumian into an Armenian family the artist was first educated in Cairo Egypt before moving to Paris where he studied art and architecture. Carzou like his contemporaries Dali and Picasso was part of a generation that witnessed many wars. Haunted to the point of obsession by the horrors he had witnessed Carzou's style went through a period where the artist seemed to be desperate to remind the world of the horrors of the past. Today his works have permanent homes in America Great Britain Egypt Japan and his adopted homeland France." Mourlot Editions. André Sauret unknown

Latvian manuscript: 17 Drawings of Gorillas and other Apes

D5274c. Paperback. Fine. 8 loose leaves folded once to create 32 pages each page about 7-by-9 inches; contains 16 extraordinary drawings of gorillas rendered in bright blue or black ink frequently in an etched or cross-hatched style reminiscent of woodcuts. With handwritten captions in Russian Latvian and German and dated from 1925-1959. Studies of the animals in the wild or captivity drawn perhaps from life but also copied from other images collected from a variety sources. Though the source of the original image is frequently noted the image itself is never included. All drawings are remarkably bold and adept the bright blue in particular lends an air of pop or modern art while others are more formal or refined. All are surrounded by equally bold perfectly legible handwritten text. Unique and simply wonderful with some haunting images on the faces of the apes. paperback
