192674065New York: George H. Doran Company 1926. First Thus. Leather bound. Near fine. The trade edition of this illustrated classic from Kay Nielsen with 22 full-page plates 12 in color. The fairy tales include the title story Rapunzel Rumpelstiltskin and nineteen others.<br /> <br /> Nielsen 1886–1957 was born in Denmark. He is best known for his work in the United States. He worked for the Walt Disney Company on the animated films Fantasia The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty.<br /> <br /> xii 13–310 pages. First trade edition first printing with the B date code on the copyright page. A near fine copy; for this version the plates are not protected with tissue guards and there is offsetting to the facing pages as a result. There are a couple of leaves with spots at the bottom margin. This copy has been rebound in full burgundy morocco with all edges gilt. The covers are delicately decorated with a wavy gilt border. The spine is divided into six panels with false bands; each panel is stamped in gilt. The endpapers are marbled paper with metallic gold ink highlights. The original cover and spine are laid down at the back.<br /> <br /> Doran issued a 600-copy signed limited edition in 1925 with the text printed in two colors contemporaneous with the UK signed limited. That is the first US edition; this trade issue followed the next year based on newspaper reviews and therefore I assume does not have the publisher's logo on the copyright page—which is how Doran usually denotes a first printing. It is not technically the first edition. George H. Doran Company unknown

194339198Sainte-Hélène Morbihan Brittany France 1943. A marvelous signed autograph letter from Max Jacob 1876-1944 to his close friend and protégé Maurice Morel "l'abbé Morel" 1908-1991. 2 pp front and back of a leaf measuring 27 x 21 cm about 400 words written neatly in ink. Jacob had encouraged Morel to paint in 1925 when the latter was only 17 and had organized his first exhibition. Morel became a successful painter. In 1934 Morel was ordained a Roman Catholic priest. The present letter begins with a meditation on communication and friendship as Jacob forgives Morel for not having written for some time: "Le silence est proportionnel à la sécurité en matière d'amitié. Mes meilleurs amis sont ceux qui m'écrivent le moins : c'est un fait. Les relations veulent être cultivées les amitiés s'assurent elles-mêmes sans certificat épistolaire. Je ne suis nullement surpris de trouver les plus silencieux de mes amis quand l'ai besoin d'eux ou qu'ils ont besoin de moi." The letter is dated August 18 and the envelope included is postmarked August 20 1943 several months before Jacob's arrest by the Gestapo and his death. A bit of toning but in very good condition. An outstanding item. <br/><br/> unknown
194139312Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire Loiret France 1941. A signed autograph letter written during the Occupation from Max Jacob 1876-1944 to his close friend and protégé Maurice Morel "l'abbé Morel" 1908-1991. 2 pp front and back of a leaf measuring 27 x 21 cm about 400 words written neatly in ink. Jacob had encouraged Morel to paint in 1925 when the latter was only 17 and had organized his first exhibition. Morel became a successful painter. In 1934 Morel was ordained a Roman Catholic priest. The present letter begins with a discussion of a manuscript Jacob is considering having published so that he can sell copies to tourists we can assume he's joking. He moves on to spiritual matters: "Je suis de votre avis sur le manque de respect envers Dieu plus grand que le manque d'amour : c'est une preuve de crise de l'intelligence car pour respecter il faut comprendre ou comprendre au moins qu'on ne comprend pas. Prenez garde en luttant contre le sentimentalisme de dessécher complètement ces coeurs déjà tellement arides : pour la métaphysique je vous la livre. Le symbolisme est à la base de toutes les religions parce que le signe est l'idée et que l'idée se confond avec la réalité. C'est pourquoi il est dit : "que votre nom soit sanctifié." car le nom est le signe de la personne." The letter is dated February 28 1941 as is the postmark on the envelope included. In excellent condition. An outstanding item. <br/><br/> unknown
193559294New York: The Daily Worker 1935. First Edition. First printing. Limited issue; no. 50 of 100 clothbound copies signed by Burck. Quarto; tan buckram with titles and decorations stamped in brown on front and rear covers; 247pp. A lovely fine copy free of soiling or wear. There was a simultaneous trade issue in pictorial wrappers.<br /> <br /> The very scarce limited issue of this compilation of Burck's Depression-era cartoons most originally published in the Daily Worker and The New Masses. Burck trained at the Art Students' League under Boardman Robinson; became the full-time editorial cartoonist for the Daily Worker in 1929 and worked as a political cartoonist for the rest of his life though following a 1936 trip to the Soviet Union he renounced Communism and began working for mainstream periodicals including the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the Chicago Daily Times. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1941; survived a period of persecution during the 1950s Red Scare and continued to produce new work until shortly before his death in 1982. This volume quite scarce and the few copies we have seen previously were well-worn. The Daily Worker unknown

194650723Munich cancel imprint in English: Rabbinical Representative by Central Commitee sic of Liberated Jews in the American Occupied Zone 1946. First edition thus. Hardcover. Good. Elephant folio 15-3/4" x 11". 2 192 32 28pp. Rebound in modern tan soft leather with blind-stamped star of David on the front cover. Gilt and blind-stamped tooling and gilt lettering on the spine. Raised bands. Decorative endpapers. Pictorial title page printed in black & red against a yellow the color Jews were forced to wear background. It depicts both the suffering and the hope for redemption of the Jewish people. The bottom shows life in the concentration camp and the top shows the yearning for a new Jerusalem. The images are attributed to the artist Grisha Rosenkranz who was active in the DP camps. Text in Hebrew states: "As afflicted prisoners there we sat learned and prayed in secret."<br /> <br /> This volume of "Keddushin" the first of the two printed was the precursor to the famous full 19-volume set known as the "Survivors' Talmud" or the "US Army Talmud" so-called because it was the first complete Talmud printed in Europe after the Holocaust. At the end of the war Jewish survivors and residents of the DP camps had few or no books. The efforts to provide resources to Jews without access to Talmud study in the direct aftermath of the war fell primarily upon the shoulders of two Lithuanian Rabbis Samuel Abba Snieg chief rabbi of the US occupied zone and Samuel Jacob Rose both survivors of Dachau. It was accomplished utilizing two odd volumes of the 1886 Romm edition of the Talmud printed in Vilna tractates Keddushin and Nedarim found at the monastery in St. Ottilien. Printing plates for these volumes were created using a photomechanical offset process. It should be noted that when the full set of the Talmud was eventually published it was derived from the later Vilna editions which contain additional rabbinic commentary not found in the earlier editions.<br /> <br /> The rabbis' intent from the very beginning was to print a complete set of the Talmud however these two tractates were the only ones found in good enough to reproduce. Later with the assistance of Rabbis Philip S. Bernstein and Abraham Klausner they were able to print a complete set in Heidelberg in 1948 The Survivors' Talmud. <br /> <br /> There is some dampstain rippling to the lower fifth of the text with an attendant tidemark that is mostly in the blank bottom margin but occasionally extends into the text readability is not affected. Scarce. Alternate title: Survivors' Talmud<br /> <br /> Grisha Rosenkranz aka Gregory Rosenkranz was a Lithuanian-born Jewish artist and Hebrew teacher. In addition to his work on the illustrations for these volumes of the Talmud he was an active artist in the DP camps after the war and was known to have designed a theater sets for a play produced in the camps. Later he emigrated to the United States eventually settling in Miami where he taught Hebrew Jewish studies and art. He also created art for the PBS TV program 'Living Hebrew'.<br /> <br /> With thanks to Jackie Ben Efraim for her research on these Talmuds.

19149391914. J. Pharm. exp. Ther. 5/3. - 1914 pp.275-316 orig. Broschur. PRECURSOR TO THE MODERN DAY DIALYSIS MACHINE! Rare Offprint "Reprinted from The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics."! "Received for publication December 18 1913". "Together with Leonard George Rowntree 1883-1859 and Benjamin Bernard Turner 1971-1945 John Jacob Abel 1857-1938 devised what they called a "vividiffusion" apparatus consisting of a series of tubes surrounded by fluid. They first demonstrated the apparatus at the Physiological Congress in Groningen in 1914. By allowing arterial blood to enter at one end of the connection and later return to circulation through the venous connection after dialysis they were able to demonstrate the existence of free amino acids in blood. By isolating these amino acids from blood circulation Abel conducted various subsequent researches on the structure of proteins in the blood. Not only did Abel use the apparatus for his research work he also realized the great clinical potential such dialysis machine would have on managing the damaging effects of renal failure. The vividiffusion apparatus Abel devised is the precursor to the modern day dialysis machine." He summarized his work in a paper published in 1913 "On the Removal of Diffusable Substances from the Circulating Blood by Means of Dialysis" by Transfusion Science. John Jacob Abel 1857-1938 was an American biochemist and pharmacologist. He established the pharmacology department at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1893 and then became America's first full-time professor of pharmacology. During his time at Hopkins he made several important medical advancements especially in the field of hormone extraction. In addition to his laboratory work he founded several significant scientific journals such as the Journal of Biological Chemistry and the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.
