An exceptional example with noted provenance as these have been in a private collection since the 1940s. As early as 1805 Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began collecting German popular tales. They published the first and second volumes of Kinder-und Hausmarchen in 1812 and 1814. Its publication brought immediate and worldwide fame to the brothers Grimm and provided the foundation for their influential and groundbreaking studies in German philology and grammar PMM 281. The 1823 edition in English of German Popular Stories was the "first anywhere to be fully illustrated" as well as the first to truly target children Darton 216. Moreover the English translation by Edgar Taylor and his relatives "revolutionized the conventional English attitude to fairy tales and rehabilitated fantasy as generally acceptable reading-matter for the young. The Cruikshank illustrations which the Grimms themselves admired remain inextricably associated with the tales" and are considered among his best works Carpenter & Prichard 230. They have been called "the first real kindly agreeable and infinitely amusing and charming illustrations for a child's book in England" Charles Welsh. Among other famous Grimm tales these volumes contain "Rumpel-Stilts-Kin" "Snow-Drop" Snow White "Rose-Bud" Sleeping Beauty "Tom Thumb" "Hansel and Gretel" "The Golden Goose" "The Frog-Prince" and "Ashputtel" Cinderella.

1833262<p>Lansing Alfred A. Alexander Anderson Jacob Maas Milton F. Harrison <i>Galaxy of Comicalities</i> Philadelphia: Printed by Lesher & Shelly No. 303 Callowhill St. at $1.25 per annum in advance 1833. Twelve Issues: Volume 1: Nos. 1 – 12. These are twelve issues of only forty printed between October 2 1833 and July 5 1834. Galaxy of Comicalities is said to be the first illustrated comic periodical printed in America. Issue 11 December 11 1833 contains a review of <i>Sketches and Eccentricities of Colonel David Crockett of East </i>sic<i> Tennessee</i>. Crockett 1786 – 1836 a consummate self-promoter was the subject of numerous books. <i>Life and Adventures of Colonel David Crockett of West Tennessee</i> a spurious biography not authorized by Crockett was published in 1833 and reprinted later in the same year under the more accurate title of <i>Sketches and Eccentricities of Colonel David Crockett of West Tennessee</i>. <i>Galaxy of Comicalities</i> was a racist publication characteristic of humor during the Andrew Jackson administration. Mocking people of color during their "days off" writing in racial dialect and making sexist jokes about women this short-lived publication was intended for a semi-literate reader or listener sympathetic to the publishers' racist views. The editorial standard is as execrable as the spelling and views expressed. Illustrated with woodcuts of a similarly pejorative nature. </p><p>Condition of this rare worn and dis-bound surviving set: Issue 1 old repairs to page edges tear repair to page 1 slight text loss on p. 2; issue 2 repair to worn margins; issue 3 old tear repair to title-page margin repairs with text loss repair patch with text from another source p. 10; issue 4 margin repairs significant text loss; issue 5 good condition no repairs; issue 6 good condition no repairs; issue 7 text loss of a few words to three lines of one page; issue 8 good condition; issue 9 good condition; issue 10 margin repairs loss of few words on one page; issue 11 margin repairs text loss of a few letters on one page; issue 12 old tear repair.
