1929005218New York: The Longacre Press Inc. 1929. First edition. Hardcover. String ties. Paper pastedown. Fine. Promotional souvenir program for a transitional Griftith film -- shot originally as a silent re-shot with some sound including most notably songs by Irving Berlin. 4to. 31 by 22.5 cm. Unpaginated 18 leaves. This Griffith film was not a success at the box office despite the talent associated with it. The story is one in which the male lead William Boyd is cast aside by his girlfriend and resolves that he could find a more suitable lover off the street which he does when he connects with a singer at a sleazy bar played by Lupe Velez. Boyd a popular Silent Era romantic lead would suffer a setback in the early sound era but resurrect his career and fortune in a series of Westerns in which he played Hopalong Cassidy. "Lady of the Pavements" may have been a disappointment commercially but one would not know that from this souvenir which is an object of real beauty with its textured wallpaper-like pastedown on the front cover its thick glossy leaves and its lavish photos and Art Deco illustrations and decoration. <br/><br/> The Longacre Press, Inc. hardcover books

1846SW476-7257England 1846-1891. Hardcover. Near Fine. Contemporary full dark green morocco lavishly stamped in blind and gilt on boards and spine; 4to 210 x 265 mm; approx. pp. 200 nearly full with handwritten poetry and prose original artwork albumen photographs and ephemera -- sometimes adhered to the page direct on the page or loosely inserted via corner slots. A little scuffing along spine and edges of boards else fine.

Decades in the making and with contributions from numerous hands this is a rich and remarkably accomplished volume -- one wonders if it was perhaps created by a circle of artists. Landscapes and landmarks of England appear in the original artwork such as a finely detailed drawing of the house where Sir Isaac Newton was born and photographs St. Mary's Church; New College from the Gardens as well as the ephemera numerous engraved illustrations of castles neatly clipped from unknown sources. Far-flung locales are also represented: View on the Medina River pencil drawing Martaban at Sunrise beautiful watercolor of Burma an architectural drawing that suggests India. Prose and poetry contributions mostly original offer religious sentiments thoughts on love and friendship and a bit of humor in particular a piece entitled "Georgy on Shakespeare" argues that the Bard is greatly over-rated. Ephemera includes holiday greetings numerous illustrations extracted from unknown sources and the occasional die-cut. Landscapes birds flowers -- all the hallmarks of a typical album of the period -- though this one is particularly nice. <br/><br/> hardcover books

Title page preface table of contents followed by 20 plates depicting the Italian navy and sailors during the First World War. All leaves loose as issued. Nine of the plates depict the Italian navy in one way or another and 11 plates relate to the Serbian retreat during the war. Eight of the plates are portraits the remainder being action scenes.
