197014433Poughkeepsie NY ca. 1970. Near fine. Two albums each oblong 4to. Measuring approximately 10.25” x 7” with 155 color photographs loosely mounted rectos only in corners. Album 1: Green faux-leather covers gilt title decoration to front sting bound 59 black paper leaves each with two photographs recto mounted 118 prints total; well preserved near fine. Album 2: Ivory faux-leather covers gilt title decoration to front 20 black paper leaves 19 with recto mounted photographs most two to a page final leaf blank; crease through center of front cover otherwise clean contents near fine. <br/><br/>A fantastic pair of albums capturing 1970 Poughkeepsie NY area regional country music acts venues and patrons. Prints almost entirely uniform in size measuring approximately 3.5” square many date stamped outside the image area. The first album shows spots in and around Poughkeepsie primarily the Brand X Corral bar on Rt. 94 in Vails Gate NY. Acts include Gil Rogers whose albums we suspect these were based on internal evidence The Country Cousins and Country Skyline. The second album follows Rogers down to West Virginia for his performance during the 1970 Eastern States Country Music Convention on the famed WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling’s Capitol Theater. Rogers recorded a handful of honky-tonk singles in the early 1970’s on the Stop label and enjoyed regional success as a performer for decades. These amateur images show the elaborate stage dress music gear and social settings of Woodstock-era country music. That famed festival was held less than a year earlier and some 35 miles from where most of the images shown here were snapped though one could be forgiven for guessing they were taken years and miles apart. An album that demonstrates how this blue collar form adhered to traditions and fans throughout the cultural sea changes of the late 1960s and early 70s and a colorful portrait of a working regional musician. hardcover books

2010CNJL1030Monmouthshire: The Old Stile Press 2010. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Gill Eric. No. 11 of 60 numbered copies folio size ca. 24 pp. in each volume. An innovative two-volume publication by The Old Stile Press reprinting the original Golden Cockerel Press edition in one volume and printing for the first time an "alternative version" using Eric Gill's alternate illustrations from his copper engravings. Of the five illustrations in the original Golden Cockerel edition - "God Sending" "Earth Waiting" "Earth Inviting" "Dalliance" and "Earth Receiving" - Gill made alternative plates of four although only three were advertised in the note to subscribers laid in at the rear of that edition. <br/><br/>These alternative illustrations "basically follow the composition of the published versions but the male and female figures already naked in the published versions are presented in a state of realism which would clearly have been unexpected and in many quarters unacceptable at that time" per the Preface. Both volumes follow the pagination of the Golden Cockerel edition but employ a larger page size and Gill's Ariel typeface. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Patterned paper over boards gilt stamped spine in a matching slipcase.
