WAIN, Louis. Days in Catland with Louis Wain. Father Tuck's Panorama No. 8595. London: Raphael Tuck & Sons, Ltd, n.d. [ca.1912].
First edition. Oblong quarto (10 5/8 x 11 15/16 inches; 271 x 304 mm.). Four full-color lithographed panels forming a panorama with fourteen color lithographed slot-in figures (depicting twenty-seven cats).
Front panel with full-color lithographed image of "Five cats in a Theater Box". Hinges and pouch-flap (to store the fourteen figures on lower panel expertly strengthened. Minimal rubbing to extremities.
The four panels form a panorama, each panel depicts the interior of a different room in the cats' house with humanized cats and furniture. The panels have fourteen numbered slots into which the reader inserts the corresponding figure(s) to complete the scene. There are fourteen wonderful color cat cut-outs (actually twenty-seven cats) by Louis Wain showing this family of cats at "At Bath-time and Bed-time"; "Helping Mother in the Kitchen"; "The Cat's Tea Party"; and "In the School Room". The fourteen color cut-outs are in remarkably fine condition.
An excellent copy that appears to have been hardly ever played with. Housed in a felt-lined half black and red morocco over gray cloth clamshell case, spine with five raised bands, ruled and lettered in gilt in compartments.

Description:
New York, 1903. Original illustration by American artist Arthur Keller (1866-1924) for William Dean Howells's 1903 collection of essays, Heroines of Fiction. In that work, Howells considers the Victorian clergyman Charles Kingsley's 1853 novel Hypatia, a fictionalized life of the pagan philosopher, set in fourth-century Alexandria. Hypatia was one of the first women to study mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. Murdered by a Christian mob for her outspoken Neoplatonist teachings, she became a symbol for feminists and a martyr for pagans. In Keller's striking portrait, Hypatia's open pose and concentration on her manuscript convey classical self-possession, but her pale skin and tousled ringlets reflect Kingsley's Victorian vision. Howells remarks: "Hypatia is really a young lady of the early eighteen-fifties, of the time when young ladies of her type were crudely called strong-minded. She was a sort of Alexandrian Margaret Fuller." A source of inspiration across centuries, Hypatia most recently…

21 double-page (one with a "trick" fold-out) & four full-page color-printed woodblock illus. 17; 12; 15 folding leaves. Three vols. 8vo, orig. semi-stiff wrappers (rubbed), orig. block-printed title labels on upper covers (not present on the first vol.), orig. stitching. [Japan]: Preface dated 1826. A remarkable and unusual shunga, which depicts a hermaphrodite (three scenes), a ménage à trois, scenes of voyeurism and masturbation, a childbirth scene, a deity with the face of a vagina, and a nun having sex with a man (two scenes). The color printing and embossing are exquisite throughout, fresh and highly detailed. The third volume begins with two extremely rare images. The first depicts a husband praying for a baby girl, while his wife prays for a male child. The following scene depicts a midwife assisting the wife, who is bearing a hermaphroditic baby. There is much to be studied in this book; we have only suggested some of the complex subjects. There is some debate regarding the…
