The Lazy Lays and Prose Imaginings Inscribed to American Medium Mary Hollis Billings

187730067London: William H. Harrison 1877. Very Good. London: William H. Harrison 1877. First Edition. Octavo 18.5cm.; publisher's purple pictorial cloth designed by Florence Claxton elaborately embossed in gilt and black all edges gilt black glazed endpapers; iv5-156pp. Cloth a bit scuffed and worn along extremities with brief exposure at corners and spine ends spine cloth faded brief split to rear joint rear hinge cracked but holding textblock slightly shaken in binding else a Very Good bright example. Inscribed on front flyleaf to the American medium "Mrs. Hollis Billing With the kind regards of The Author / November 1879. London." Scarce collection of humorous poems and vignettes by the British author and editor of The Spiritualist. Running in the London Spiritualist circles Harrison would presumably have made the acquaintance of the inscribee American medium Mary Hollis Billing and her husband who served on the 1877 Committee of the Theosophical Society in London. Contents only glancingly Spiritualist though true to form the imprint provides the publication date based on different calendars: A.D. 1877 Popular Chronology; A.M. 5877 Torquemada; A.M. 50800077 Huxley. Like many Spiritualists of the day Harrison was especially interested in photography and several pieces in this volume relate to the art and science of the form. Notably "The Lay of the Photographer" describes in nineteen stanzas the chemical transformations of pyroxylin iodine and silver to develop photographs. Needless to say the poem is not very good. Advertisements for the present work attribute the cover design to British illustrator cartoonist and fringe Pre-Raphaelite Florence Claxton 1838-1920. One contemporary reviewer aptly describes the book as "handsomely-bound and griffin-guarded" Liverpool Daily Courier. William H. Harrison unknown

The Golliwogg's Bicycle Club.

18965682London: Longmans Green & Co. 1896. First edition. A nice copy of this uncommon first edition. Follow the adventures of Golliwogg and his old companions a group of Dutch peg dolls as they pedal their handcrafted bicycles across the globe. Their journey takes them through the streets of Paris beneath the iron arches of the Eiffel Tower and onward to Japan where they discover the thrill of riding in a rickshaw. The trip continues through Turkey across vast desert sands on camel back until a dramatic encounter with a tribe of cannibals brings their expedition to a most unexpected halt. Original hardback boards with green cloth spine. There is a touch of darkening to the boards and bumping to the corners but still an attractive copy. Gift inscription in pencil to the inside front board. The title page is moderately darkened. The rest of the book is clean with a few finger marks to some pages. There are a couple of very small closed tears to the edges not affecting text. Lovely full page and vignette illustrations. Curiously the copyright notice and date are printed on each full page illustration. 63 pages. 215 by 280mm 8½ by 11 inches. . Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de cette première édition rare. Suivez les aventures de Golliwogg et de ses vieux compagnons une bande de poupées à tige hollandaises alors qu'ils parcourent le monde à vélo sur leurs vélos fabriqués à la main. Leur périple les mène dans les rues de Paris sous les arches de fer de la Tour Eiffel puis au Japon où ils découvrent le plaisir de se faire conduire en pousse-pousse. Le voyage se poursuit à travers la Turquie à dos de chameau à travers les vastes étendues désertiques jusqu'à ce qu'une rencontre dramatique avec une tribu de cannibales mette un terme inattendu à leur expédition. Couverture rigide d'origine avec dos en toile verte. Les plats présentent un léger noircissement et les coins sont un peu abîmés mais l'exemplaire reste très attrayant. Dédicace au crayon sur la page de garde intérieure. La page de titre est modérément jaunie. Le reste du livre est en bon état avec quelques traces de doigts sur certaines pages. On note deux très petites déchirures fermées sur les bords qui n'affectent pas le texte. De ravissantes illustrations en pleine page et vignettes. Curieusement la mention de copyright et la date sont imprimées sur chaque illustration en pleine page. 63 pages. 215 × 280 mm. Florence K. Upton. Longmans, Green, & Co. hardcover
