Description:
London: Hendersons, 1921. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Austen, John. Octavo size, 68 pp., signed by both Keen and Austen on the half-title. John Archibald Austen (1886-1948), whose style initally was "much influenced by Aubrey Beardsley" became a highly prolific illustrator. He would eventually illustrate approximately eighteen books, with his work finding favour: "His line is always graceful, his drawings vivacious and spirited, very skilful in its arrangement of blacks and whites, and his composition rightly balances..." (n.b., quotes from Horne, p. 80). "The Little Ape" was Austen's first published work, unaccountably scarce in the marketplace; as of this writing, we see only two copies online, neither signed by Austen (as is this copy). This was the first book to be illustrated by Austen, and already showed his promise as an illustration artist. The stories included are: "The Little Ape", "The Judgment", "The Friend", "Block B", "Lolette", "An Unpleasant Incident", and "The Dance of…

Description:
Ausable Forks N.Y.: Asgaard Press, 1968. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/near fine. Kent, Rockwell. One of 250 copies, octavo size, 23 pp., inscribed and additionally signed by Rockwell Kent. Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) was an American painter and illustrator who bridged the artistic gap between Victorian and Modern art; the illustrator of countless books, his appeal has continued to grow throughout the 20th century and he remains highly collectable today. This volume relates, in a fascinating and mostly humorous style, the story of Kent (and family's) short visit to Newfoundland, with Kent being viewed with some suspicion resulting in the officials inviting Kent and family to leave....then, in 1967 ("more than half a century from the events I have recorded") receiving an official invitation for them to return. A wonderful and heartwarming story, with five illustrations by Kent. Inscribed by Kent on the dedication page (printed "To Joseph R. Smallwood") with, beneath the printed dedication:…

San Francisco: The Arion Press, 1990. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Kenna, Michael. One of 400 copies, unnumbered, oblong quarto size, 115 pp., signed by Michael Kenna. The Désert de Retz is a landscape garden in north-central France, known for its lavish architecture in the style of classical antiquity, created by French aristocrat François Racine de Monville (1734-1797) on his extensive estate. This edition by the Arion Press features facsimiles of engravings of the garden's architecture and greenery, reproduced from 1785, as well as black-and-white photographs by Michael Kenna (b. 1953), who uses a long exposure to create haunting photographs with unusual and ethereal lighting; here his photographs capture an eery sense of beauty in the geometric and organic forms of the garden. Diana Ketcham, a prominent writer of architecture whose works have been awarded the Berlin Prize and the American Institute of Architects Book Award, the senior editor at Arion Press since 1993, provides an essay…

London: Grant Richards, 1903. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. First printing, folio size, 94 pp. A charming story of a fantasy trip taken by two little children to the land beyond the rainbow called Dickydidos, where all the children were neat and tidy, with a goose as the magistrate and a prim-looking woman with a cane, "Miss Keepemneat"....and where the "houses were made of barley sugar with chocolate windows and doors..." Per the web site of the V&A: "William Graham Kidd (1874-1955) was an artist, illustrator and designer of Scottish descent. Born in Leith, he was apprenticed to an architect but in the 1890s moved to London to pursue a career in interior design. Around the beginning of the twentieth century he had established a reputation for wall coverings and fabrics featuring themes from popular nursery rhymes and produced work for a number of well-known clients, including Liberty & Co. and the Lancashire wallpaper manufacturer, C. & J.G. Potter." At some point Kidd turned his…

Allahbad, India: A.H. Wheeler, 1890. Hardcover. Good +. Octavo size, 97 pp. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) remains a literary force today through his many stories, including "The Jungle Book" and poems such as "Gunga Din". A recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 at the age of 42, he remains the youngest recipient to date; considered for the British Poet Laureateship and a knighthood, he refused both. This is one of Kipling's earliest published writings, this volume was number two in the "Indian Railway Series", first published in 1888 in wrappers. This volume seems to a variant of the first English edition, with the title page listing "Author of 'Soldiers Three', 'Wee Willie Winkie,' Etc." directly beneath the author's name; however, while showing Messrs. A.H. Wheeler & Co., Allahabad as publisher, it does not also list Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington. Pagination also most closely matches the first English, without the three leaves between the contents and text, and with…

Description:
New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc, 1980. Hardcover. Fine. Klimt, Gustav. Elephant folio size, [92] pp., illustrated, in clamshell box with original shipping carton. A selection of erotic drawings by Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), published from a private collection focused on the nude female form, most in frankly erotic poses. Klimt began his career in a conventional style, but as he developed his work became intensely personal, focusing on the beauty and eroticism of the female form. When he completed the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna in 1900 the paintings were criticised as being pornographic, which led him to no longer accept public commissions; sadly, these paintings were destroyed in 1945 by SS troops when the Nazis were in retreat from the city. While his style is certainly frankly erotic, his talent has been confirmed by the prices recently brought by his paintings, which are some of the highest recorded for individual works of art. ___DESCRIPTION: Cream cloth with author…

North Andover, Massachusetts: Kat Ran Press, 1997. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Gohde, Kurt. Quarto size, 39 pp., signed by Tracey Knapp and Kurt Gohde. The first book published by the Kat Ran Press, an impressive debut volume. The illustrations were created by Kurt Gohde by means of using fire as a drawing medium - the natural pairing for this book of poetry dedicated to fire and its flames. Mr. Gohde uses highly imaginative techniques to create the path of smoke, using "techniques as varied as simply scaring the page with a single match", "to lighting lines of gun powder that had been carefully laid down on the page". Note that each of the eight images in the book "were each recreated over one hundred times. These are not prints, photographs, or offset reproductions. THEY ARE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS". (n.b., above quotes from the book's prospectus.) Our volume is no. 34 of 50 copies (there were another 15 copies NFS), with the 12-page prospectus and original order form loosely laid in; it also…

(Leningrad): (Aurora Art Publishers), 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Konstantinov, Fiodor. Miniature book, [116] pp. Unable to find much information online, we turn to the book's introduction for information about this superb woodcut Russian artist, Fiodor (or Fyodor) Konstantinov (or Konstantinoy). Born in 1910, Konstantinov began his career in the 1930s, having studied under the Soviet engraver Vladimir Favorsky. Konstantinov "contributed woodcuts for editions of Shakespeare and Chaucer, Charles de Coster and Mark Twain, Krylov and Tiutchev, Pushkin, Lermontov and Dostoyevsky, Yesenin and Zablotsky". Apparently at an exhibit in London at which Konstantinov's cuts of "Chaucer" were displayed, the inimitable Lynd Ward said of Konstantinov that he was "an extremely gifted and subtle artist of international range....whole talent and outlook had mingled to produce a truly creative personality." Note that apparently this work was originally issued as one of three volumes in a slipcase,…

The last book designed by Bruce Rogers, printed by Grabhorn-Hoyem and therefore the only miniature book done by one of the Grabhorns. According to the bibliography, "[t]he uncorrected page proofs reached Mr. Rogers on the day of his death. For twelve years the galleys gathered dust until Carroll T. Harris generously turned them over to the printers..." This miniature book is all about miniature books and is a miniature one can actually read - a thoughtful treatise by Harry Koopman (1860-1937), a highly-regarded bookman who served as Brown University's librarian from 1893 to 1930, and an author and poet in his own right. ___DESCRIPTION: Full white vellum, navy blue decorations at the joints, navy blue lettering on the spine, miniature prior owner bookplate with Hebrew lettering, some red lettering on the title and copyright pages, a red initial…
