1915136354London: Published for the Folk-Lore Society by Sidgwick & Jackson 1915. Octavo pp.i-vii viii ix x-xx 1 2-381 382-384: blank note: last leaf is a blank original decorated brown cloth front panel stamped in black and gold spine panel stamped in gold rear panel stamped in black top edge untrimmed black coated endpapers. First edition. A major collection of Romanian popular legends recorded by Moses Gaster 1856-1934 an eminent folklorist and Hebraic scholar which includes Gaster's lengthy highly important introduction pages 1-59 in which he discusses his folk tale migration theory in detail. "In these Romanian popular legends so strikingly in contrast to the fairy tales of western Europe one can see evidences of the stage when 'marvelous and wonder-working animals' were implicitly accepted as part of the popular faith . Paganism and gnosticism mix happily. 'The heathen gods the Christian saints God and the devil legends fairy tales oriental imagery mystical traditions and astrological lore are all inextricably blended together.' In a sense the collection is mis-titled for these are actually creation and biblical folk legends in which birds and beasts play a part." - Dorson The British Folklorists pp. 273-6.

182442478Unpaginated. 30 b/w etchings. Etched title and 29 plates. The images are reminiscent of but more charming than those in Cooke's "Shipping and Craft." Brewington lists Moses as an English etcher who was born in 1782 in London. He worked for the British Museum and died in 1870. Moses published books of drawings of art objects and of historical scenes throughout the first half of the 19th century. However this title is among his scarcest. The present copy contains parts 1-4 in his series of waterfront views. Each image is dated so we can trace the progression from the Thames to Sheerness to the Dockyards. As time went on he issued more prints until he was able to publish an issue with 57 etchings. The edition offered here is rare with only two copies listed on OCLC. Brewington Dictionary p. 268. Scattered foxing some pages rather grubby but still a good copy of a lovely collection of images. Bound in 19th century 1/4 calf over marbled boards with gilt spine decoration.<br /><br /><br /> Henry Moses hardcover books
