1884139081884. With an Introduction by Al. G. Spalding of the Chicago Base Ball Club. New York: E. P. Dutton and Company 1884. 1 page undated ads for Spalding baseball goods. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt beveled. First Edition of "the first novel devoted exclusively to baseball" Grobani 12-2c. The first book about baseball was 1859's THE BASE BALL PLAYER'S POCKET COMPANION nonfiction -- there are only about ten known copies the most recently-exchanged of which was priced at $39500. There was an 1877 volume in the "No Name Series" THE GREAT MATCH which could also lay claim to "first baseball fiction" but which is not entirely about baseball. About these two books Strecker et al. have written Both THE GREAT MATCH and OUR BASE BALL CLUB highlight tensions between the country and the city. More importantly they reveal the baseball team's central place in local communities and feature insight into nineteenth century baseball debates about participation versus competition and amateurism versus professionalism. This is a hefty large-format quarto volume with ten handsome illustrations. OUR BASE BALL CLUB was issued in two different bindings -- paper-covered boards with a front cover lithograph or full pictorially-decorated cloth either grey or blue or as here bright red. This is a bright very good-plus copy with a small damp-mark on the rear cover and very minor shelf-wear at the spine ends. unknown books

Après le Siége Cham 113<br/><br/>"Particularly to be noted are his bitter reflections on the legend which Charlet Bellangé Raffet and their imitators had helped to create. The desolate battleground of "The empire means peace" no. 26 offers an ironic commentary on an epigram uttered by Napoleon III in 1852. His "Square Napoleon" no. 14 displays the gravestones of those for whose death the Emperor has been responsible beginning with the Boulevard Monmartre in the winter of 1851 and ending with Sedan in 1870. In Cham's "The reverse of the Saint Helena medal" no. 30 indeed the country's disaster is attributed specifically to Napoleon Bonaparte as well as to Napoleon III. Daumier's first plate for 1871 showing France "Appalled by her heritage" no. 17 is bleak indeed but a later design offers a gleam of hope: "Poor France!. The trunk blasted but the roots hold fast" no. 33.<br/><br/>It should be mentioned that Cham's contributions to this album though trivial in comparison with Daumier's monumental compositions are by no means negligible. He provides the detail that Daumier omitted. The horrors of the bombardment are recorded in his plates but so too is the black humor of Parisian life during the siege. For example he shows the population pursuing food in any form - horses cats rats even a large woman regarded with speculation by an impudent boy: "No more meat! - Let's go then!" no. 20.<br/><br/>The plates included in Album du siège were transferred to zinc for engraving by Gillot's process rather than printed directly from Daumier's lithographic stones."
