19539703New York: Hammer Creek Press 1953. Unbound. Very Good binding. Portfolio. 6.5" x 4.25." 4 folded leaves. Limited edition number of copies unknown. As issued 4 bifolium leaves laid into portfolio with printed paper label on the cover. Light rubbing to the portfolio including some separation starting at the spine; leaves are fine. <br /> <br /> Comprises as title page with printing on the recto of the first page only; and three engraving on three bifolium with title of engravings in red on the recto of the first leaf and the engraving occupying the recto of the second leaf. Engravings are of "The Hell-Box Press" "The Hammer Creek Press" and "Along the Hammer Creek." An additional pressmark by DePol on the title page. As is frequently the case with Fass's small print runs frequently there are difference with an edition; in this instance the portfolio differs from others we've seen and what Cohen describes this with a printed label using DePol's pressmark we have seen others that are stamped in gold using a turtle pressmark designed for the Press by Burton Carnes. Additionally the title leaf is set in upper and lower case italics and is within a border and without a date we have see it set in all capitals without border and is dated 1952—though Cohen suggest the date is actually 1953. This is a very good example of the experimental nature of Fass's work at the Hammer Creek Press. A wonderful issue from the Press. Cohen 24; DePol Catalogue Raisonne p. 41. Hammer Creek Press unknown
pp. 432 + 8 [Publisher's Advertisements] + Eight plates; and over 40 charming woodcut text illustrations by Cruikshank. Foxed. 8vo. 215 mm. Original leather backed boards binding, worn. A collection of humorous and satirical short stories with West Country, Irish and legal settings (the 'Three Courses') together with a more miscellaneous selection (the 'Dessert'). The book makes wonderfully entertaining reading, and the illustrations are frequently quite delightful. Though the author is un-named, he was readily identifiable in early 19th century England. William Clarke (1800-1838), was also the author of `The Boys' Own Book' and other various works of light literature, which obtained a considerable measure of popularity. He also brought out a humorous periodical, called `The Cigar' and he was for some time editor of the `Monthly Magazine' For the last three or four years of his life he devoted himself to an elaborate work on natural history. This does not appear to have been published, nor are any of his other writings extant. While working in his garden, near his house near Hampstead, he died of an apoplectic fit. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

19518728Lexington KY: Gravesend Press printed by Philip Reed 1951. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Small octavo. 8 vii 1 16 2 pp. illus. Limited edition one of 500 copies. As issued in paste-paper over boards bound by Elizabeth Kner with printed paper title label on the front cover; partially unopened. 16 in-text engravings from Bewick's blocks printed in brown grace the pages of the charming volume. Light rubbing to the extremities of the binding including a scuffed spot on the front board; interior is fine. <br /> <br /> Designed by Joseph C. Graves this is the second issue with his imprint though Graves's friend Philip Reed executed the presswork at his Chicago print shop. Graves ran the Gravesend Press as a sideline from about 1949 through to the end of his life in 1960 issuing scarcely more than half a dozen books. While less known that some of his contemporaries he took his place amidst a vibrant mid-century printing and illustrating scene—friends with Victor Hammer Carolyn Reading Philip Reed Fritz Kredel John DePol John Fass and others. H. Richard Archer in a history of Graves and his press published in The Kentucky Review Spring 1987 summarizes Graves's work thus: "All of the books whether pamphlets or bound books reflect the taste and high standards of a true amateur craftsman and as such they certainly qualify as choice examples from one of this generation's most distinguished private presses.

18108165Philadelphia: Johnson & Warner printed by J. Bouvier 1810. Hard Cover. near Very Good binding. 16mo 32 pp. frontis plates. Early reprint. As issued stitched into stiff paper covers with frontispiece and 5 additional inserted plates. Cover is light rubbed; some separation where the cover hinges at the stitching but the cover remains fairly stable; light foxing throughout. <br /> <br /> This is one of two 1810 imprints of this title the other Shaw & Shoemaker 19993 is self styled the "First American from the Second London Edition" and is sold by Wm. Charles and printed by W. McCullouch in 1810. While both Welch and Shaw & Shoemaker list this present edition by Johnson & Warner first it would stand to reason that the Charles edition is in fact first as this present edition has a title page dating publication at 1810 but the cover title is dated 1811. Nevertheless an early edition of this scarce title by Dorset who was "the younger daughter of Nicholas Turner and the sister of Charlotte Smith also a famous author. She wrote several books for children which were all published anonymously" Rosenbach 438. Shaw & Shoemaker 19992 & 22717. Welch 297.1; Cotsen 1813. Johnson & Warner | printed by J. Bouvier unknown

300 pages. Index. Bibliography. Illustrated with colour photos, black and white photos and images of the petroglyphs discussed. "Describes, among many other things, the solitary spiritual meditations of young people in the mountains, a form of education once essential to all those who wished to succeed in life with their particular talents... Opens a discussion of some of the issues in rock research that relate to 'notating' and 'writing' on the landscape, around the world and through the millennia. This landmark publication presents a well-researched hypothesis to explain the evolution of symbolic or iconic writing from sign language, trail signs and from the geometric and iconic imagery of the dreams and visions of shamans and neophyte hunters." - from dust jacket. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. A beautiful copy of this interesting work. Book
