197014433Poughkeepsie NY ca. 1970. Near fine. Two albums each oblong 4to. Measuring approximately 10.25” x 7” with 155 color photographs loosely mounted rectos only in corners. Album 1: Green faux-leather covers gilt title decoration to front sting bound 59 black paper leaves each with two photographs recto mounted 118 prints total; well preserved near fine. Album 2: Ivory faux-leather covers gilt title decoration to front 20 black paper leaves 19 with recto mounted photographs most two to a page final leaf blank; crease through center of front cover otherwise clean contents near fine. <br/><br/>A fantastic pair of albums capturing 1970 Poughkeepsie NY area regional country music acts venues and patrons. Prints almost entirely uniform in size measuring approximately 3.5” square many date stamped outside the image area. The first album shows spots in and around Poughkeepsie primarily the Brand X Corral bar on Rt. 94 in Vails Gate NY. Acts include Gil Rogers whose albums we suspect these were based on internal evidence The Country Cousins and Country Skyline. The second album follows Rogers down to West Virginia for his performance during the 1970 Eastern States Country Music Convention on the famed WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling’s Capitol Theater. Rogers recorded a handful of honky-tonk singles in the early 1970’s on the Stop label and enjoyed regional success as a performer for decades. These amateur images show the elaborate stage dress music gear and social settings of Woodstock-era country music. That famed festival was held less than a year earlier and some 35 miles from where most of the images shown here were snapped though one could be forgiven for guessing they were taken years and miles apart. An album that demonstrates how this blue collar form adhered to traditions and fans throughout the cultural sea changes of the late 1960s and early 70s and a colorful portrait of a working regional musician. hardcover books
04912Los Angeles: Sutton House 1935. Snickerty Nick with the Music<br/>Near Fine in original Printed Dust Jacket<br/><br/>RACKHAM Arthur illustrator. Snickerty Nick & the Giant. By Julia Ellsworth Ford. Rhymes by Witter Bynner. Music by Charles Arthur Ridgway. Los Angeles San Franciso: Sutton House 1935.<br/><br/>Third edition the first with the music included. Quarto 9 1/2 x 7 3/16 inches; 242 x 183 mm. viii 1-81 1 blank 83-132 pp. Three full-page monotone plates facing pp. 16 20 & 42 eight full-page black & white drawings and two line drawings. Original 'bright yellow' cloth with pictorial stamping in black on the front cover in black. A near fine copy in the original yellow pictorial dust jacket some light chipping to extremities some tiny tape repairs otherwise an excellent example of a dust jacket that we have never seen before.<br/><br/>The differences between this and the 1933 edition are as follows: The title-page of the 1933 edition has the imprint Suttonhouse: Los Angeles 1933 whilst the 1935 edition has Suttonhouse Los Angeles San Francisco and no date the date 1935 is on the verso of the title-page. The text and illustrations are identical but the 'Suggestion for Production' p. 77- 80 in the 1933 edition has now been changed and extended to p. 81. Following p. 81 is an additional title-page for the music which follows from p. 85 through p. 132.<br/><br/>"The idea of the Selfish Giant in this play has been taken from the story of Oscar Wilde's Selfish Giant. Spring would not come to his garden because he would not let the children play in it. It was always winter there. One morning he woke up hearing the music of a linnet singing in his garden. He jumped out of bed and saw a most wonderful sight "flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing" and in every tree was a little child; but one little boy was too tiny to climb the tree and the Giant's heart melted and he helped the little child into the tree. The little child kissed him and forever after the children played in the Giant's garden because his heart had softened through love of the little child. The children never saw the child again. But one day he came to the Giant who saw on the palms of the child's hands "the prince of two nails and the prince of two nails were on the little feet". The little child had come to take the Giant to play in his garden "which is Paradise." My indebtedness to this story is the character of the Selfish Giant. The little play of Snickerty Nick is not a dramatization of The Selfish Giant. <br/><br/>The character of Snickerty Nick is an original character and the play centers around him. The little boy is only a loving and beloved child and Spring and Winter are personified by faeries and gnomes. To Arthur Rackham I tender my most sincere thanks whose magic touch as in Peter Pan Grimm's Faery Tales and Undine making real all faeries and gnomes endears all child life to grown-ups as well as to children." Forward by Julia Ellsworth Ford.<br/><br/>This edition with the music not recorded in Riall<br/><br/>In over fifty-five years of specializing in the work of Arthur Rackham I have never seen the 1933 edition and I have only seen this 1935 edition once before - this copy which I sold in 1989. According to Riall see p. 180 the 1933 edition is listed as a "reprint of 1919 edition with same coloured illustrations. Bound in bright yellow cloth. 3 full page illustrations in full colour. 8 drawings in black and white. This edition has the music added at the end of the book."<br/><br/>OCLC locates just seven copies of the 1933 edition and twelve copies of the 1935 edition in libraries and institutions worldwide - none of the copies cited have any bibliographical details other than the book has 80 pp. 1933 or 132 pp. 1935. Both of these editions are unknown to The Arthur Rackham Society.<br/><br/>The two books were produced in 1933 & 1935 to accompany the first Hollywood production of Snickerty Nick on April 8th 1933. Julia Ellsworth Ford's famous little 'folk' play was directed by Pauline Parker. Los Angeles: Sutton House, 1935 unknown books

Dixon. Abner Kneeland 1774-1844 a pioneer evangelist and minister was a powerful if inconsistent advocate of Universalism for a quarter of a century beginning with the Winchester Convention of 1803. Kneeland Hosea Ballou and Edward Turner combined efforts to compile a new Universalist hymnal with Kneeland contributing about a third of the hymns "most of which have been judged to be inferior." After he left the Universalist fellowship in the 1830s he became the last man to be convicted of blasphemy in the state of Massachusetts. see his brief biography in the Unitarian Universalist Dictionary online <br/>Another tune called "Mount Vernon" comes from the psalms of David and was originally written by Isaac Watts 1674-1748 known as the founder of English hymnody. "This life's a dream an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there" Lyander W. Webb whose name appears in two of the notebooks may be Lyander Westram Webb 1805-1858 who was born in Philadelphia. Rev. Abner Kneeland was pastor of the Lombard Street church in Philadelphia from 1818 until his move to New York City in 1825. Webb later moved to Baltimore Maryland where the 1850 Census lists him as an engineer. <br/><br/> hardcover books

197130702New York and Los Angeles: John Gibson Multiples 1971. First edition. Record LP. Very Good . Double LP audio record in gatefold sleeve. Association Copy INSCRIBED BY REICH TO FELLOW ARTISTS ATHENA TACHA AND RICHARD SPEAR in 1982. The first pressing of this recording was limited to 500 numbered copies and came with a leporello fouldout score as well as 100 Artist Proof AP copies. This copy is not numbered only inscribed and we suspect it to be one of the AP copies. This copy also lacks the leporello score that was issued with the signed/numbered edition. The gatefold sleeve has the title written on it neatly in ink by the recipient but is otherwise in very good to near fine condition with only some minor toning. Both records are also in superb condition very good or better showing only some very faint sleeve wear. A beautiful example of this important record from early in Reich's career and is very scare as an association copy. John Gibson + Multiples unknown books

The man wearing a feathered cap and with a bagpipe strapped over his shoulder is shown playing the violin left-handed holding the instrument against his chest.

The empty bagpipe the man carries is also a veiled reference to sexual prowess.  Hollstein Dutch 6; "Old men in black and white: the imagination of the age in Dutch printmaking 1550-1650" Anouk Janssen p. 283 fig. 188; Amsterdam Rijksmuseum RP-P-1883-A-7212.
