Description:
Leipzig: Insel, 1904. First edition. First edition. Original printed light green paper covered boards with decorative and pictorial front cover in light gold. A scarce and attractive work, with eleven wonderful drawings (plates) by Karl Walser, noted Swiss artist, designer and illustrator. This is the first issue of Walser's first publication, printed on Japanese paper. Karl Walser, the brother of the poet Robert Walser, has designed the cover drawing and the calligraphy of the double title and the chapter headings. Encouraged by Walser's contributions to the magazine "The Island," the publisher had agreed to launch a small collection of previous works. There were 1300 copies printed by Breitkopf & H‰rtel. But the sale was a disaster, after a year, only 47 (!!) copies were sold. The remaining stock is said to have been sold in a department store. The fragile paper spine has been expertly repaired to yield a tight copy, in very good condition. All plates and internal pages clean and bright. A…

Description:
This is the original mosaic pattern maquette for the Walter's magnificent and groundbreaking mosaic binding on Shakespeares, "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark," which was published in 1933. The intricate interlocking design, executed by Walters on a single sheet of light brown art paper(5 x 8 inches), has been impressed in, and then some areas have been colored in light red, light blue and darker blue. Walters has signed the piece at the top, "CW," and "Hamlet," and on the verso (which has a few pencil additions) is also inscribed at top, "Hamlet, 1938." The renowned American bookbinder, Curtis Walters, began bookbinding in about 1900, heavily influenced by George D. Smith, and late studied with Matthews, the Club Bindery, and Stikeman. He conceived his innovative mosaic binding techniques early on, but perfected them much later in his career. Many of his bindings appear in the famous Henry W. Poor Collection and Sale. Original studies for binding designs by famous bookbinders are vanishingly…

Description:
New York: Harpers, 1919. Three-quarter morocco, red cloth. A fascinating bounty of manuscript with a provocative story are packed into this book concerning humorists Artemus Ward and Brett Harte, both icons of mid to late 19th Century American humor. Included in the assemblage by an unknown person, is a wonderful four-page to Brett Harte from Artemus Ward (mounted), describing in detail his feelings regarding his groundbreaking visit the the West Coast, newspaper biases, as well as Harte knocking on "death's door," with an unknown illness, possibly tuberculosis, which led to his death only a few years later. As well, the biography explains in detail the circumstances and goings on of his travels and performances, and even quotes parts of the letter, as well as eluding to Harte's complimentary article published in the newspaper, "The Era," for which Ward thanks him. As well, a long proof sheet (original) of that very article is attached opposite the half-title, with corrections by Brett Harte!…

Description:
A holograph one-page manuscript written by Watts-Dunton (1832-1914), noted English critic and poet and close friend of Algernon Swinburne, whom he rescued from alcoholism, in fountain pen, and signed by him at end. Undated, but possibly a draft or submission manuscript to publisher. The poem appeared in "The Queen's Carol: An Anthology of Poems, Stories, Essays, Drawings, and Music, London, 1905. Interestingly, the holograph poem is a near facsimile, except for the 'stage description' that separates the two stanzas. In the holograph version: "The baby looks up and smiles at a star shining through a hole in the garret roof." But the published version has, "The baby suddenly drops its lips from the nipple, looks up, and smiles at a star shining through a hole in the garret roof." 8 x 10 inches on lightly ruled paper. Very good. Scarce thus.
