- Used
Łódź: Wolna drukarnia MSW, [1988]. Single sheet, xerox-printed to recto, measuring 36 × 25.5 cm. About very good; old creases. Apparently unrecorded poster for a series of "manic" political happenings slash performances held at the Galeria Działań Maniakalnych in Łódź, a branch of the Pomarańczowa Alternatywa (Orange Alternative), an originally Wroclaw-based anti-communist artist group. The movement was born out of the student protests at Wroclaw in the early 1980s, and its leader was Waldemar Fydrych (born 1953). It is perhaps best known for painting little orange gnomes over Solidarity and other anti-State graffiti that had been painted over by the authorities. Never an explicitly political movement, the Orange Alternative instead fused elements of surrealism and dadaism with urban protest in the tradition of Dutch Provo and the kabouters. DIY xerox punk aesthetic, with a drawing showing a bearded male making love to a five-pronged star. As of November 2019, we are unable to trace other copies. See also: Happening Against Communism by the Orange Alternative, Kraków: International Cultural Centra, 2011.

Publisher's blue cloth, upper cover panelled in black and letter in gilt Scarce journal of the travels of the HMS Narcissus to South America, South Africa, India, Singapore and the China Sea.

Description:
London: Dent, 1912. Hardcover. Fine. Robinson, Charles. Large 8vo, full ivory cloth stamped in pictorial gilt, illustrated with 17 mounted full page color plates with captioned tissue guards and mounted color chapter head art by Charles Robinson. Top edge gilt. Mild toning to pictorial endpapers else a lovely bright copy with tiny bumps to tips, no previous ownership markings. Each plate is mounted with a gold border. Amongst an abundance of beautifully illustrated books of Robinson's, this stands out. The spine gilt with the full title and a large gnome is a delight; the cover, also all in gilt, is a delicate work with a princess and elaborate borders filled with more characters. The endpapers feature trolls with mining tools, all in gilt. The title page is again elaborately drawn. Vignettes are everywhere throughout the text. It's a charmer and one of our favorite Charles Robinson books.
