Les 16 conseils de Radiola Paris: Editions d'Art Risacher et Cie.. Wraps. Very Good. Short inscription and signature of Bellaigue on FFEP. Scarce, with no copies located anywhere. N.d., circa 1920s. 4to. 24 by 16 cm. 16 leaves, with color plates and humorous captions and text bubbles all on rectos. This was a humorous promotional publication of Radiola, a French maker of radio receivers in the 1920s. J. C. Bellaigue (1893-1931), son of belletrist Camille Bellaigue, was a French book, magazine and poster illustrator known especially for his depictions of early aviation. He also was a designer for the French national carpet and tapestry manufacturer of Beauvais. The humor is all about preposterous accidents, frustrations and screw-ups relating to radios from when radios were a real novelty. Much of the same humor might with slight variation be applied to our PCs, iPhones, iPads, etc. The caricatures in the drawings are funny even without the specifics of the particular situation. Light use. [Bookseller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques]

BINDING: Cloth backed Marbled boards. === Baron Frederic Derlanger: Anglo-French composer. His father was a German and his mother an American. He began his musical studies in Paris under Anselm Ehmant, his only teacher. His first work, a book of songs, was published during the composer's twentieth year, and shortly afterwards he took up his abode in London as a banker, becoming a naturalised Englishman. His compositions include works of all kinds, notably the operas: Jehan de Saintre (Aix-les-Bains, 1 Aug. 1893; Hamburg, 1894), 'Inès Menso' (produced, under the pseudonym of Ferd. Regnal, in London at Covent Garden on 10 July 1897, and subsequently in Germany); 'Tess' (after Thomas Hardys 'Tess of the Durbevilles'), produced at the San Carlo Theatre, Naples, on 10 April 1906 and at Covent Garden on 14 July 1909; and 'Noël', produced at the Paris Opéra-Comique on 28 December 1910. Among d'Erlanger's other works are a string Quartet, a Sonata for violin and pianoforte, an 'Andante symphonique' for cello and orchestra, a Quintet for pianoforte and strings, a 'Suite symphonique' for orchestra (1895), a violin Concerto, Op. 17 played by Kreisler at the Philharmonic Concert of 12 March 1903, and a 'Concerto symphonique' for piano and orchestra (1921). More recent is a Requiem for solo voices, chorus and orchestra (1931). Clearness of form and elegance of idea and expression are the distinguishing marks of D'Erlangers music, whether in his operatic work, in his chamber and orchestral music, or in his songs.

THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE SACRAMENTS AND OTHER RITES AND CEREMONIES OF THE CHURCH ACCORDING TO THE USE OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TOGETHER WITH THE PSALTER OF PSALMS OF DAVID. New York: Printed for the Convention, 1893. - [28],566,[2]pp. Folio. Original heavily gilt decorated vellum over boards, with brass fore-clasps, t.e.g., others untrimmed, ribbon marker. Printed in red and black, with floriated borders by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, title in black letter. Binding somewhat soiled and rubbed, brass clasps tarnished, upper forecorner of rear board stained, with corresponding tidemark affecting the upper forecorner of the last 80 leaves of the textblock; still a reasonably good, perfectly sound copy. Small manuscript bookplate on preliminary blank. The limited issue of the revised Book of Common Prayer, overseen by D.B. Updike, and with facsimiles of the signatures of many of the principals associated with the revision approved at the 1892 General Convention on the verso of the title. The limited edition was prepared in two forms, one being the Canonical Edition, intended for distribution to each diocese and jurisdiction within the Church, with the text and borders enclosed within red rules, and with original signatures on the verso of the title. This standard limited edition of 500 copies on handmade paper does not feature red rules, and has the signatures of the principals in printed facsimile. Updike comments at length on this project in his introduction to NOTES ON THE MERRYMOUNT PRESS, and about his role in the attempted rescue of an ill-conceived effort to produce a decorated edition from the plates of the 1892 printing: "The best things about the book were the cover and charming end- papers which Goodhue designed for it. Sad to relate, the edition had an immediate and resounding success! We were congratulated, and we blushed. Our shame was taken for modesty and we were congratulated more! While the book is indeed a strange one, it is by no means so strange as the designs originally made for it" (see pp. 9-10). Nonetheless, the experience was an important prelude to the production in 1928 of Updike's own edition, widely regarded as his finest work. GRIFFITHS 1893.7.

Spectacular 1893 Illustrated Advertising Cover for A. A. Vantine & Company Promoting their Wholesale Goods to Retailers New York: A. A. Vantine & Company, 1893. Envelope. Very Good. The envelope, made from sparkling Japanese paper, measures 3" x 5" when folded and 10" x 13" when unfolded. It is filled with multi-color images of Japan (Mount Fuji and seaside scenes), a wide variety of Asian merchandise sold by Vantine, and Japanese and Chinese men celebrating Christmas. A. A. Vantine's was one of the first and largest importers of Asian goods in the United States and dominated the American market well into the twentieth century. Vantine opened his first "Oriental Store" in New York City in 1866, after years of selling trade goods to gold miners in California where he first became captivated by Asian ceramics and textiles. After a slow start, his sales exploded, and by the 1870s, Vantine stocked thousands of items and had branch offices located throughout the United States. This very scarce postal advertisement is truly spectacular in size, illustration and content. [Bookseller: Read 'Em Again Books, ABAA]

24 Chromolithograph Prints from Our Navy, Its Growth and Achievements Hartford: American Publishing Co, 1893. Print. A complete set of 24 attractive chromolithographs on heavy paper showing 75 different U.S. naval vessels. Prints vary slightly in size but are approximately 11" x 14"; image size is approximately 8" x 12". Each print is numbered and labeled on the reverse. The images are all in excellent shape, however they have some marginal soiling and edge wear including chipped corners and short marginal tears. All would mat and frame well. These prints were prepared from Cozzens' watercolors and used to illustrated Our Navy, Its Growth and Achievements by J. D. Jerrold Kelley. The illustrations range from early American ships, like the Constitution, through those of the Civil War, like the Kearsarge, to those of the 'New Steel Navy" including all of the ABCD (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and Dolphin) ships launched in the mid-1880s. Few intact examples remain as the prints were frequently removed for display. In 1916, a stash of almost 100 sets of the prints were found and sold under a new title, Old Naval Prints. It is likely this set came from that stash. Cozzens was an important turn-of-the-century maritime painter whose most famous works illustrated the racing yachts of the 1880s . Individual prints from this scarce set retail for $175-$350. [Bookseller: Read 'Em Again Books, ABAA]

Stonehenge: Its Probable Origin, Age, and Uses Edited and compiled from the most authentic sources Maddington, Wiltshire: William A. Judd, 1893. First edition. Wrappers. Very Good. A Very Good copy of the first edition, first printing, in the Publisher's original pale blue printed wrappers, with the front wrapper being decorated and lettered in blue (some modest toning and handling soil to the wrappers, a short split to the upper portion of the wrapper where it joins the spine). In 1870, Geologist William A. Judd established a business taking and selling photographs of Stonehenge from multiple views. Judd became, in effect, Stonehenge's official photographer and custodian and by 1878 Stonehenge had become an national obsession. [The oldest photograph of it known to us having been taken by Prince Albert in 1853.] Judd ultimately was appointed the official custodian by the site's private owners and acted as a guide and photographer at the stones for many years. While Judd both photographed the Site and sought to determine the origin of Stonehenge's stones, part of his job as custodian was to keep visitors from knocking chunks out of the stones and carrying them away as memorabilia, forcing Judd to live out on the plains with the stones themselves. This 1893 booklet is one of the earliest guidebooks to Stonehenge published. [The first guidebook was written in 1823 and Judd's guidebook and photographs without doubt had a strong effect on the growing popularity of the Site.] A Very Good copy of the first Guidebook to Stonehenge, perhaps the best-known prehistoric monument in the world --and forming the core of a World Heritage Site -- produced by William A. Judd, one of the earliest important figures in Stonehenge's modern history and in the popularization of the Site. This little booklet is itself a rare artifact now, and we have not been able to locate any auction records for it. Its age and ephemeral nature have conspired to produced its great scarcity. A Very Good copy of a RARE AND IMPORTANT ITEM IN THE HISTORY OF ONE OF THE EARTH'S GREAT SITES. RARE AND NOTABLE INDEED. [Bookseller: Allington Antiquarian Books, LLC]

Firmò le sue opere o con la sigla N.F.P. o come Giovan Paolo d'Alfiano, l'antico nome del paese natale. Fu amico di Giacomo Puccini e in un'occasione ne fu anche l'avvocato difensore.
