Featured item:
A Grouping of Three Mock-ups for Woodworking Design Books
United Kingdom. c1890. A collection of three woodworking design books featuring pen and ink stencils and applied cuts for layouts. Each of the covers of the books have titles pasted onto them. The titles are: Original Designs Book, Designs for Woodcrafting, and Designs for Chip Carving.
The 'Design for Chip Carving' book appears to have a souvenir blank notebook published by the art department of 'Pure Boots Drug Company' that was then repurposed. The Chip Carving book also features both pasted in printed applied cuts and pen and ink stencils. The stencils are hand drawn of a variety of different filigree - mainly with floral elements- and animals. There are three animal stencils, the first is a flock of birds, the second has dragon flies and goldfish, and the third images features two owls sitting on a branch with two bats flying around the moon. The printed applied cuts feature more traditional geometric designs, as well as some floral designs. These designs were for picture frames, mirrors, brushes, furniture, shelves, and various boxes (ex. cigar box). Two of the books are completely filled, one, Chip Carving, is half filled.
Measures 11" x 8 ½”(largest), 9 ½”x 6 ½”(smallest). The two smaller books have 24 pp each and the larger about 40pp.

Murakami, Haruki. Hear the Wind Sing.
Tokyo: Kodansha International (1987). First English language edition. 12mo. [4], 5-165, [1], [10] (pages of publisher's advertisements in Japanese). Paper pictorial jacket over softcover grey wraps. Includes a bookmark for Kodansha English library. Translated by Alfred Birnbaum. Lacks the "obi" band. Very near Fine in very near Fine dust jacket. Wikipedia, "Hear the Wind Sing". The first novel in Murakami's Trilogy of the Rat, made available in English only by Kodansha International Publishing (until 2015 when the story was published in an omnibus English edition of Murakami's works). Murakami preferred this, as he considered it to be a work from his "immature" period. The novel is concerned with the Japanese student movement, writing as a process, and the ways in which Japanese and Western culture interacted in the latter half of the 20th century.

An American Exodus: A Record of Human Erosion
by Dorothea Lange and Paul Schuster Taylor.
New York: Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939. First edition. Hardcover. One of the best books to come out of the FSA experience, that shows the grim resolve and the conditions in the late 1930's dust bowl. Text by Taylor and powerful black and white images by Lange. A tight close to near fine copy with some very faint evidence of a moisture stain to the base of the spine in an about fair first issue dust jacket that numerous small chips, edge tears, wear, tape repairs to the verso and staining. This is the first issue with with the list of Vital Books for Our Time and an advertisement for Mein Kampf on the rear panel of the dust jacket and in a lighter blue cloth with no topstain. This issue is also slightly heavier than the second issue. Much less common in the first issue. (Roth 102-103, Parr & Badger v1, 142-143).

Hanmer, Karen. Deal Me In, Mona.
Glenview, IL: Karen Hanmer, 1999. Number 4 of 20 copies. Signed and numbered by the book artist. Karen's artist-made books are physical manifestations of personal essays intertwining history, culture, politics, science and technology. She utilizes both traditional and contemporary book structures, and the work is often playful in content or format. She exhibits widely, and her work is included in collections ranging from Tate Britain and the Library of Congress to UCLA and Graceland (from artist's statement).
In this amusing book, Karen utilizes the flag book structure originated by Hedi Kyle to juxtapose and contrast two staples of western art history, "Mona Lisa" and "Waterloo," a poker dogs painting by Cassius Coolidge. Partial images of each work alternate as the flag images are turned. When the book is completely open the full poker dogs picture is seen. The images are reproduced with pigment inkjet prints. No text. The book is 8 x 4.5 inches closed and 8 x 19 inches when open. Housed in archival storage case with Velcro closures. In fine condition.

Featured item:
[ no place ]: [ no publisher ] [ no date ]. Faux leather protective roll with two snap closures, containing three portraits on paper. The whole connected on one end between two large (1 1/2 inch) dowel halves on one end. The salesman could add various portraits to the assemblage by separating the two half dowels, adding additional portraits, and screwing the assemblage together again. This example has a green tinted linen guard laid in to protect the paper portraits as they are rolled and snapped shut. Leather roll is approx 17 1/2 inches wide and two foot long. This portfolio contains three examples - the first a black and white distinguished bearded gentleman, the second a stylized woman in brown tint, and the third a young woman with very nice colored tints. All have some wear and dampstaining, and the faux leather covering is stained and has various detritus attached to it. Very Good. [28017]
Large photographic prints were expensive and difficult to store and transport. This was one solution for photographers - a sample portrait that could be rolled up in a protective cover and taken where-ever needed - the fair, the office, or a client's home.
We find one of these a year roughly so they were in use - rarely do we find the same images used though. This example has three images representing different styles/coloring possibilities, each with a penciled number on the back. These may have been examples of Crayon Portraiture which was a method of using crayons, a solar projector, and crayon paper to hand-draw an enlarged portrait from a smaller image. There are other, competing processes as well, all 19th century inventions. We often see the results in victorian era frames in antique shops so there was some success in promoting and creating these portraits.
An excellent "prop" that takes the holder back to the days of the traveling photographer, here in color!

Featured item:
FIELDING, HENRY., THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING.
(London: The Navarre Society Ltd., [ca. 1900]). 180 x 113 mm. (7 1/8 x 4 1/2"). Six volumes. Edited by George Saintsbury. One of 2,000 copies.
VERY FINE BURGUNDY MOROCCO, HANDSOMELY GILT AND ONLAID, BY THE HARCOURT BINDERY OF BOSTON (stamp-signed on front flyleaf), boards with triple fillet border, EACH COVER WITH AN ELABORATE HERALDIC FRAME OF GILT AND ONLAID GREEN MOROCCO around an empty oval, raised bands, very pretty gilt spine compartments featuring looping tendril frame enclosing a charming flower centerpiece, densely gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt. Six frontispieces by George Cruikshank showing scenes from the book. A VERY FINE COPY, the bindings especially bright, and the text with virtually no signs of use.
This is a very attractively bound copy of Fielding's 18th century classic and a landmark publication, first printed in 1749. Cross says that "No one before Fielding had ever written a novel comparable with his in its reliance upon contemporary facts of human nature, and this brilliant and innovative narrative met with such immediate commercial success that the first printing was sold out before its printing could be finished, and at least four more editions were published in the same year as the first." "Tom Jones" is divided into 18 books, each preceded by an introductory essay (wherein can be found some of Fielding's best prose) on some theme more or less connected with the story, in the manner subsequently adopted by Thackeray and George Eliot. The plot begins with the finding and raising of Tom by Squire Allworthy and his sister Bridget and then follows Tom's adventures, many amorous, after his banishment from the Allworthy house prompted by bad behavior. In the comic ending, mysteries are revealed and relationships set aright. Day says this was the first avowed novel in English (Fielding's precursor, Defoe, claimed his stories were true and Richardson said that his were akin to sermons), and a work that some still call the greatest novel in English because of its attention to characters set against the backdrop of society. Inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement that had spread to New England, the Harcourt Bindery was founded in 1900 to provide hand bookbinding services for the books produced by a burgeoning number of private presses. With plenty of shelf appeal, the present set is an excellent example of their high-quality work.

- Elections and Enfranchisement
Featured item:
[N.p., likely Richmond. 1861]. Broadside, 6¼ x 4 inches. Light edge wear and minor spotting. Very good. A scarce Confederate election ticket for the state of Virginia. The handbill announces the candidacy of Jefferson Davis for president of the Confederate States, and Alexander Stephens for his vice president. It also announces John R. Edmunds of Halifax and A.T. Caperton of Monroe as electors for the state at large, and includes a list of sixteen additional electors for the various districts, along with the name of Roger A. Pryor for the Confederate Congress. Davis and Stephens won the election, as did Pryor, who served only three months in the first regular session of the Confederate House of Representatives before joining the 3rd Virginia Infantry as a colonel. This ticket is very likely a cast ballot, with a small validation pinhole in the center, the Congressional candidate overwritten in ink (casting a vote for William T. Joyner), and with a signature on the verso, a regular practice at the time to curb ballot stuffing, and usually indicating a cast ballot (though they are typically signed in ink). Parrish & Willingham locate only twelve examples of this scarce item. Not in Crandall.

Fine Map of the Ottoman Empire from the Mercator-Hondius Atlas
Striking example of this map of the Ottoman Empire, showing their territories in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and North Africa.
It was published by Henricus Hondius in his Atlas sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi et Fabricati figura, which translates to the “atlas or cosmographical meditations on the fabric of the world and the figure of the fabric.” This was the atlas begun by the famous Gerard Mercator and published by the Hondius firm throughout the seventeenth century.
The border of the Ottoman Empire is marked with a dotted line, demarcating one of the largest land empires in history. Cities and towns are labeled and marked with the characteristic small building symbol that was used throughout the atlas. Mountains and dunes are included, especially on the Arabian Peninsula. Notes indicate extra information about the Caspian Sea, Black Sea, and kingdoms that ring the Ottomans.
A handsome strapwork cartouche holds the title and scale in the lower left corner. At the top is a portrait of Sultan Mahumet Turcorum Imperat. This refers to Mehmed III, sultan from 1595-1603. Mehmed III is known for the fratricide of his nineteenth brothers, the war with Austria-Hungary, the Jelali Revolts, and the reception of Queen Elizabeth I’s envoy in 1599.
This map first appeared in the atlas in 1606, an additional plate added by Jodocus Hondius. It continued to appear there until the French edition of 1639-44.

Collection of ephemera advertising inventions and products by Isaac S. Clough. New York: 1856.
39 broadsides, labels, ads, calling cards, etc. all relating to the business ventures of Isaac S. Clough, a prolific inventor and salesman who concentrated mostly on the invention of novel insect traps, but who also sold ash sifters, pastry boards, spring boot jacks, combined knife, spoon and fork utensils, match safes, hand lanterns, an "automaton dancer" composed of two "negro-dancers" and string, and more. At least six different insect traps are represented, including a Premium Clockwork Pillar & Cage Fly Trap, and a Clock-Work Revolving Light House Fly & Mosquito Trap. The largest item is a broadsheet, 9.25" x 12" with a "Clough's Reporter" newsletter on one side and a large engraved illustration for a Suspension Cage New Fly-Trap on the opposite side.
In addition to his inventions Clough also worked as a manufacturer, distributor, and a door to door salesman. Many of the ads are pointed at wholesalers, and two items are printed calling letters notifying a household of an imminent visit by Clough to sell them fire shovels, for example.
A number of items cite Clough's number of medals and diplomas earned, with the number peaking at 19 and 33 respectively. Aside from this small change in accolades it is difficult to date most of the material. "Clough's Reporter," is dated 1860, one manuscript letter from the then governor of Massachusetts, Alexander H. Rice, congratulating Clough for his success in business, dated 1856. The calling letter from the Iron Clad Can Co. is dated 1876. The majority of the material is likely printed between the late 1850s and the early 1870s.
Also included are a few New York banknotes signed by Clough and a receipt on letterhead for a tombstone ordered by him for Cypress Hills Cemetary. We could find little on Clough's life beside the fact that he appears to have been based in Brooklyn, NY. A few chips and holes in some items, but most generally very good, and an interesting group reflecting the world of late 19th century American industry.

London: Griffith, Farran, Okeden & Welsh (Successors to Newberry & Harris), 1887. Octavo (6¾” by 8⅝”). 78 pp. With frontispiece and three plates printed in red and black; four fullpage illustrations (included in pagination) printed in black; and two pages with text illustrations. Also with charming floral headpieces. Original pictorial boards with lively red-and-black border featuring the silhouettes of dogs, cats, and farm animals. Titled in red on spine. Some soiling to boards. Floral endpapers. Still a clean, tight, nearfine copy of a scarce work on the kindergarten.
First edition. In chapter one of the present work, Emma S. Windsor states that the theories of Friedrich Froebel inspired her to invent her crawling rugs (p. 11). She created the rugs by sewing pieces of fabric cut to resemble animals onto sheets of flannel. Windsor’s idea was that children from birth to age seven could appreciate the rugs in different ways over time: first, they could explore the texture and recognize the animals from picture books; then, with the help of a mother, learn the names of animals and how to mimic their sounds; and, finally, older children would enjoy the images and be inspired to independently learn more about the animals pictured on the rug (p. 13).
Windsor sold her blankets at the Kindergarten Depot of the Soho Bazaar in London. Though she encourages women to follow her designs when making rugs, she also warns that the designs are registered with the patent office and are not to be reproduced for sale (p. 23). Based on information about her business given at the end of the present work, she also seems to have provided lessons to women about how to educate through the principles of kindergarten. Note that some of the illustrations are credited to a “W.F. Windsor,” possibly Windsor’s husband. We could not find any additional information about Windsor in the sources available to us, including dates.
