1917135061917. London: Martin Secker n.d.1917. 8 pp undated ads. Original grey paper-covered boards with brown cloth spine and printed spine label. First Edition. This was the first of Sabatini's three series of fictionalized historical events -- followed by other series in 1919 and in 1938. The thirteen episodes all have "The Night of." titles -- specifically: ".Holyrood" ".Kirk o' Field" ".Betrayal" ".Charity" ".Massacre" ".Witchcraft" ".Gems" ".Terror" ".Nuptials" ".Stranglers" ".Hate" ".Escape" and ".Masquerade." In his Preface Sabatini says he chose "more or less famous events. which were in themselves bizarre and resulting from the interplay of human passions." This is a near-fine copy top edge of spine label scuffed away barely affecting the first word of the title. This UK edition of the first series is rather scarce being a wartime book published before Sabatini found his stride after the war with books like SCARAMOUCHE and CAPTAIN BLOOD. <br/><br/> hardcover books

17868168London: Published by J. R. Smith No. 83 Oxford Street 1786. Coloured mezzotint. In good condition with the exception of some faint soiling in upper margin. Bottom margin outside platemark is coated with white paint. Water stains on verso of sheet not noticeable on front of sheet. Image size: 14 3/4 x 17 inches. Plate size: 17 7/8 x 19 5/8 inches. Sheet size: 19 5/8 x 20 inches. A wonderful mezzotint after Rev. Matthew William Peters by one of the finest eighteenth century engravers.<br/> <br/>This charming print is engraved after a painting by Rev. Matthew William Peters and is a fascinating example of this period in British printmaking. Matthew Peters was trained in London under the portraitist Thomas Hudson. He quickly became a prominent member of the Society of Artists exhibiting portraits in oil and pastel and attracting a number of prominent aristocratic patrons including the Duke of Manchester the Marquess of Granby and Lord Grosvenor for whom he painted some of his most controversial pictures. Urged by his patrons Peters painted a series of quasi-erotic character studies of courtesans which at that time were quite unusual in Britain. These controversial pictures were eagerly reproduced by industrious printmaker/publishers such as Smith and caused a flurry of curious customers to hurry to London print-shops. Following his ordination in 1781 Peters quickly denounced his early erotic pictures as immoral. Upon being appointed Honorary Chaplain to the Royal Academy Peters expressed a profound regret "that he ever devoted his talents to such subjects". With this in mind this picture becomes extremely interesting. In this work Peters continues to observe and appreciate charming subjects in fancy costumes but eliminates the erotic overtones present in his earlier works. Instead he has chosen to depict an age-old moral subject fortune-telling an institution in western art since the Renaissance. This print which is expertly engraved by one of the finest eighteenth century printmakers is a fascinating view into a turbulent period in Peters' life when he struggled to produce images that would appeal to his viewers while remaining true to his moral beliefs.<br/> <br/>D'Oench Copper into Gold: Prints by John Raphael Smith 1751-1812 p. 224 No. 274; Smith Catalogue No. 135 & 136; Ackermann 1802 p. 9 described as companion prints; Chaloner Smith British Mezzotinto Portraits Ward 97 Smith 186; Frankau An 18th Century Artist and Engraver: John Raphael Smith 146.

1996145258New York: Tor 1996. Octavo boards. First edition. "THE FORTUNATE FALL 1996 which -- though its basic premise derives from D. G. Compton's THE CONTINUOUS KATHERINE MORTENHOE 1974; rev vt THE UNSLEEPING EYE 1974; vt DEATH WATCH 1981 -- intensely presents a cyberpunk world two centuries hence; the female protagonist a news reporter with a computer-driven camera wired into her sensorium finds herself deeply involved in an ancient conspiracy involving zombie Russian soldiers and mean streets. The world she inhabits is described with color and verve." - John Clute and David R. Langford SFE online. "Carter's brio and inventive spin on all the cyber tropes apparently exhausted in the 1980s and early 1990s is fun speedy if never quite as wrenchingly moving as the writer clearly wishes it to be . But the artificial life speculations are exactly right in their quicksilver detail: species and genera and entire phyla of viruses and grander alife creatures that prey on each other in grayspace the realm of virtual reality." - Broderick and Di Filippo Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels 1985-2010 #45.
