Woodblock Bookplates by Nakata Kazuo
Kazuo, Nakata. Collection of 18 woodblock bookplates. C. 1930s. Each mounted to thin card stock along the top edge only of each plate. Very good.
“Around 1924 Nakata Kazuo was making self-carved and self-printed ex-libris woodblock prints of his own design in Osaka. In 1930 he published a book on bookplates, and in 1931 he participated in the first Nihon Hanga Kyokai exhibition. In the '30s he contributed many prints to a group of Hanga magazines, among which Han Geijutsu and Shiro to kuro. He is supposed to have died around 1945.´- Saru Gallery.

Poems by Robert Browning (Guild of Women-Binders)
London: George Bell and Sons, 1897. First Thus. 8vo (5¾” x 8”). pp. [378].
Signed binding by the Guild Of Women-Binders (see verso of ffep) in gold on contemporary dark green morocco of floral and foliate motifs created from small tools within an overall diaper pattern; simple dentelles repeat the floral motif. Spine with 5 raised bands and compartments decorated with a repeat of the floral and foliate motifs. Purple and white marbled eps., and original dark green silk ribbon marker; t.e.g. includes frontis. and 65 additional illustrations by Byman Shaw, each of which is meticulously hand-colored by Gloria Cardew, with Cardew's printed label also on the verso of the ffep.
The poems are reprinted from the first collected edition of Browning's Poems (Chapman and Hall, 1849) and from the first edition of Men and Women (Chapman and Hall, 1855), and illustrated by Byam Shaw, who, according to the October, 8th 1897 issue of The Bookseller, "has not limited himself to depicting incidents of the poems, but in many of his decorations has made fanciful comment. The elaborate attention to details, and the whole scheme of Mr. Byam Shaw's decoration, recalls the pre-Raphaelite illustrations of the golden decade of British Art."
Gloria Cardew was a talented watercolorist whose agent was Frank Karslake, the coordinator for the Guild of Women-Binders. According to Tidcombe, "many books coloured by her were bound by members of the guild." Cardew's exqusite work was lauded on both sides of the Atlantic, with a contemporary issue of The Literary World, published in Boston, stating that Cardew's work showed "such exquisiteness of taste, such delicacy and precision of touch, such artistic sympathy and truth of feeling, and such technical nicety and care, as to rival the best effects of the old mediaeval illumination."
Fine text block in a very good binding that has tanning to the spine and offset fading of the color on the front and rear boards; a 1½” start to the top of the front joint, and a ½” start to the top of the rear joint; contemporary ownership on the front flyleaf.

Vintage Collection of 855 Cigar Bands
Devine, Isabelle. Vintage Collection of 855 Cigar Bands. Housed in two small flip-style notes books, 10.5 by 17 cm. Very good condition with only light wear, a few bands detached but present, and a tape repair to the cover of one notebook. The first notebook has the owner’s name and address on the front cover, “Isabelle Devine, 466 Potomac Ave., Buffalo,” and is filled with 627 cigar bands, mostly five per page, mounted recto and verso. The second notebook is about two-thirds full, mostly recto only, with 228 bands, 15 of which haven’s been glued in yet. This collection isn’t dated but appears to be from the 1920s. There are five or six bands per page, but some of the larger cigar bands only fit one or two to a page. Most are in very good condition— you can tell these were taken off cigars—but some are well-worn. The graphics are incredible, with world leaders, Abraham Lincoln, Rutherford B. Hayes, George Washington, dogs, lions, Edgar Allen Poe, horses, Native Americans, women, bats, landscapes, Francisco Goya, etc. The variety is impressive, including cigars by Victoria, Chapin & Gore, Harnett, E.A. Kline, Hotel Astor, Senate Club, John Carver, Non Plus Ultra, Belvedere, Girl from Paris, Unico, Anona, El Presidente, Law Club, La Belle Creole, Perfectos, La Flor, Fonseca, E. Regensburg & Sons, F. Garcia & Bros., Old Well, Buck, Hilson, Rothschilds, Smokettes, Geo. W. Childs, Union League Club, Kraus & Co., Sanchez Y Haya, The Ellicott Club (Buffalo), and many, many more.

YCA., Marcelino Perez, Santa Damiana, Bouquet, Henry Clay, King Henry, Belinda de Lopez, Habana Ymperial, Villar, and many more. All in all, Ms. Devine assembled quite a collection. I can only hope that lung cancer isn’t what prevented her from finishing the second volume.

The Wonder-Tube, An Electric Eccentricity
Ivan Frank and Co. New York. c1905. A children's book produced by Ivan Frank & Company, a clothing store manufacturer for boys and young men. The promotional booklet tells the story of a young boy named Wallace Brown who found a 'wonder-tube' in the sand. This 'wondertube' could produce electricity and Wallace wandered around town finding out ways to help people. For example when his mother who is tired from using a pedal sewing machine Wallace hits it with his wonder-tube and it now works on electricity! The same thing occurs with a broken car on the street and a ship in the bay. Wallace even gets a chance to use it on some other children, a group of boys causing ruckus all over the street, who soon learn their lesson. As well as a burglar who gets more than he expected when he sneaks through the window at night. The illustrations themselves are quite humorous as the depict Wallace using the wonder-tube in a variety of ways. The illustrations are shaded using varying shades of black, brown and orange. At the center of the story is a picture advertisement for the clothing company depicting a group of boys in their company's clothing. The book itself is die-cut into the shape of a sitting boy holding the 'wonder-tube'. 12 pgs. Measures 9" x 6 ¼”.

London: Ogilvy and Son; et al., 1806. 18mo, measuring 5.25 x 3.25 inches: vii, [1], 136. Contemporary green roan spine, marbled paper boards, pale grey endpapers, all edges speckled blue. Copper-engraved frontispiece and three copper-engraved plates; wood-engravings throughout text. Illustrated appendix. Light shelfwear; paper flaw to lower corner of page 129, not affecting text or illustration.
Early nineteenth-century edition of this popular introduction to science for young readers, first published in 1761; authorship has been ascribed to both publisher John Newbery and writer Oliver Goldsmith. A country-house party of “young people of both sexes,” looking for amusement, invite the “very ingenious” Mr. Thomas Telescope to come teach them about natural philosophy. He delivers six lectures spanning the laws of physics, the solar system, the elements, geography, natural history, and the limits of human perception. The handsome copper engravings depict Vesuvius in mid-eruption, the Earth’s solar system, an orrery which has been updated with “the Moons which have been newly discovered,” and a combined illustration of the moon and an armillary sphere. At the end, readers encounter as an appendix a catalog of the scientific and drawing instruments mentioned in the book, with prices ranging from a shilling map of the moon to a six-pound air-gun “for experiments only.” A near-fine copy, in a contemporary binding.

MICHAEL LAIRD RARE BOOK & MANUSCRIPTS
Featured item:
By Barker-Moore & Mein Medicine Co.
Philadelphia: Barker-Moore & Mein Medicine Co., 1880. Softcover. Dates: 1880-1890. Together 2 vols. Oblong 6" x 9 1/4". Chromolithographed printed and illustrated cartoon wrappers, stapled as issued, cloth spine. Each 50 pp. Every page with a comic illustration in woodcut, frequently involving African-Americans. Some wear to covers. Very good.
Weird, often racist, occasionally horrific American illustrations, crudely rendered in woodcut for commercial purposes. The Barker-Moore & Mein Medicine Co. not only made lead paint, but "manufactured numerous other semi-related products such as Barker's Vegetable Horse, Cattle and Poultry Powder; Barker's Nerve and Bone Liniment; and Barker's Brazilian Shoe Dressing. Since the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 had not yet been conceived, it was anyone's guess as to the actual composition of these products. [...] As part of their advertising campaign, Barker published a 'Komic Almanac' that could be personalized for other companies with 'your name and business printed on the cover.' Unfortunately, as was common at the time, many of the cartoons contained within depicted extreme racial slurs" [SOURCE: Library Company of Philadelphia blog 6/12/13]. Negroes, Indians, Germans, Farmers, City Slickers, Tramps, the Obese, and others are depicted in gross caricature, all for the glory of Barker's Liniments, Powders, Bitters, and other "medicinal" cure-alls.
A complete set of this advertising series would comprise either 3 or 4 parts. We have seen mention of "4 parts" but in our copy we find the statement: "Revised Edition in 3 parts." There are detailed instructions for sending 2 coupons for 1 Souvenir, 4 coupons for 2 Souvenirs, and 6 coupons for "all 3 parts."

Les Differens Gouts et nouvelles Modes de Coeffures
Augsburg: zu finden bey Joh. Martin Will, [ca. 1780]. 8vo (161x 95 mm). Engraved title, 23 (of 24) engraved plates of extravagant hairdos, all with caption “Coeffures d’Augsbourg” and signed “Joh. Martin Will exc. A.V.” [Augustae Vindelicorum], all except plate 15 with details highlighted in contemporary hand-coloring and grey lead. Lacking plate 14, pl. 13 cropped at fore-margin, slight foxing and creasing to title; the sub-title “II. Theil” effaced and covered by owner’s inkstamp. Contemporary grey embossed floral paper wrappers (rubbed, torn along backstrip, other small tears). Provenance: "G H," circular ownership stamp on title-page.
A model-book for hairdressers, engraved and published by the Augsburg engraver Johann Martin Will (1727-1806), showing elaborately braided hairdos and monumental hair-towers, with ringlets and tresses carefully disposed around teased appendages and interwoven with ribbons, feathers, and a variety of fanciful millenary creations. Augsburg was clearly no backwater; while somewhat less extreme than their French counterparts, these hairstyles were inspired by the latest French vogue for the notorious pouf hair-constructions, allegedly invented in 1774 by the dressmaker Rose Bertin (whose most influential client was Marie Antoinette), in collaboration with a hairdresser named Monsieur Léonard. “The pouf was built on scaffolding made from wire, cloth, gauze, horsehair, fake hair, and the wearer’s own tresses, teased high off the forehead. After dousing the whole edifice heavily with powder, its architect installed amid the twists and curls an elaborate miniature still-life...” (Weber, p. 104).
The engraved plates were cut out from one or two large sheets. This was part II of a series. I locate only one other copy of this part (Augsburg) and one copy of part IV (the Lipperheide copy at the Kunstbibliothek of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin), which has the same title and 23 plates. The Augsburg copy is digitized: it is in wrappers of the same or very similar dark embossed paper. VD18 80238963-001; Lipperheide 1680 (different volume); on Will see Thieme Becker 36:7. Cf. E. Langlade, La Marchande de Modes de Marie-Antoinette: Rose Bertin (1911, digitized on archive.org); C. Weber, Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution (2006).
