02669London: Printed for B. Blake 1815. The First Dr. Syntax Imitation<br /> In a Superb Inlaid Binding by Rivière & Son<br /> <br /> COMBE William after. RIVIÈRE & Son Binders. The Adventures of Doctor Comicus or The Frolicks of Fortune. A Comic Satirical Poem for the Squeamish & The Queer. In Twelve Cantos by a Modern Syntax. London: Printed for B. Blake n.d. 1815. <br /> <br /> First edition. Octavo 8 13/16 x 5 1/4 in; 224 x 132 mm. 2 269 1 pp. Fifteen hand-colored aquatint plates including frontispiece and extra engraved title. <br /> <br /> Bound c. 1925 by Rivière & Son stamp-signed in full antelope brown crushed morocco with gilt fillets surrounding an elaborately gilt frame enclosing a reproduced portrait of Dr. Comicus from the extra titlepage comprised of multi-colored calf onlays. Spine compartments reiterate gilt decoration to boards. Broad turn-ins with gilt rules and corner-pieces. Moire silk endpapers. Expertly and almost invisibly rebacked with the original spine laid down. A very attractive example.<br /> <br /> A clever and now uncommon parodic offshoot of the hugely successful Doctor Syntax series consciously modeled on William Combe's verse and Rowlandson's visual idiom. Although neither Rowlandson nor Combe were directly involved the book trades knowingly on their fame adopting the familiar cantos mock-heroic tone and episodic structure that had made Doctor Syntax a publishing sensation in the previous decade.<br /> <br /> Doctor Comicus follows its hapless protagonist through a sequence of misadventures and social embarrassments using broad humor caricature and topical satire to skewer manners pretensions and eccentricities of Regency life. The hand-colored plates - spirited energetic and intentionally Rowlandsonian - form an essential part of the joke reinforcing the book's role as both homage and spoof.<br /> <br /> "This is the first of many imitations of Dr. Syntax" Tooley. The success of Dr. Syntax "produced a host of parodies and spurious imitations. Among them the best perhaps is the Tour of Dr. Syntax through London.Others were Dr. Comicus or the Frolics of Fortune in 1815 with fifteen plates reprinted in 1820 with only twelve plates.It looks as if Com-icus were a pun on Combe's name to add insult to injury" Hardie.<br /> <br /> Abbey Life 254.

1900177661900. Early African American PHOTOGRAPHY -- RELIGION. silver gelatin photograph of a river baptism featuring a large group of African American subjects. Mississippi ca early 1900s. Photograph size is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in. Original silver gelatin photograph on cardstock mount .A young African American man wearing a hat and suit stands with his back to the camera we see in the foreground on the riverbank a group of African American subjects in light clothing close to the water's edge. A large ship is just visible beyond the dock in the background. Pencil inscription on verso reads "Miss- Colored Baptizing." 9Not: Historical records are evidence of the time in which they were created and often contain language are racist or derogatory and insensitive. This content does not reflect our values. These type of baptism on the banks of the Mississippi River were a public ceremony that attracted many converts in the South to the Delta region. Predominately African American Baptists performed their sacred ritual of outdoor baptisms on the Mississippi River until well into the 20th century in this Baptist-heavy state. Immersion baptisms typically took place in rivers or other natural bodies of water and summer and fall were the natural seasons for these congregational events. This rare photo captures a religious practice that has been integral to African-American Baptists for centuries. Photo has some toning surface soiling spotting and very small tear to right edge. But is still clear and in good to very good condition. unknown

1938180153Jiujiang China: 1938-39. The aftermath of the Battle of Wuhan An appealing group of photographs the unnamed photographer perhaps an oil consultant sent upriver to Jiujiang to evaluate the impact of the Battle of Wuhan a four-month engagement that saw one million Chinese troops defend five provinces. Japanese troops took Jiujiang in summer 1938 and killed almost 100000 civilians. According to the accompanying booklet of captions the images were taken between December 1938 and May 1939 while travelling with Wenchow a steamer built in 1923 for the China Navigation Company. The ship travelled under the protection of HMS Ladybird a British gunboat with experience of clashing with the Japanese on the Yangtze. The images are far more varied than typical travel albums documenting the impact of Japanese aggression. Four show members of the crew dealing with a Chinese mine in the river. After attempts to blow it up with gunfire fail they try TNT. "We didn't get a big bang because it was found to be water-logged and therefore a dud." Other photographs picture one of the many unexploded Japanese destroyer shells encountered during the cruise and ongoing minesweeping activities. Elsewhere they encounter houses destroyed by the Japanese advance. The Jiujiang oil installation of the Asiatic Petroleum Company is visible in the distance of the third image. Heading to the installation they see the village that sprang up around the installation as Chinese residents fled the Japanese advance. The Japanese are suspicious of guerilla attacks and order the village dismantled. "They also accused us of being spies and receiving information about the conditions in Kuling and that wasn't a bad guess either." Wenchow offers refuge to 400 refugees. As a foreigner he can still find escape from the local suffering documenting the sights and sounds of his journey and exploits with foreign friends. On leaving Jiujiang for Shanghai he is seen off "with the usual firecrackers on the end of a bamboo pole. Thought once or twice they were a bit nearer to the seat of my pants than was necessary. However there was nothing singed." But the voyage back to Shanghai is made not by steamer but by gunboat. Landscape quarto album 200 x 260 mm. Original black and silver textured paper 8 card leaves with window mounts on both sides holding 79 gelatin silver amateur snapshots c. 55 x 80 mm or reverse one photograph now lacking. Each image numbered below in pencil corresponding to 16-page booklet of typed captions secured with metal pins and loosely inserted. Album with some wear and rubbing inner hinges sometime strengthened with paper photographs generally bright and well preserved occasional silver mirroring and fading: a very good collection. unknown
