The Studio - An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Arts . Volumes 1 to 71 London: Offices of the Studio [magazine] 1893. volumes 1 to 71. Together with the General Index vols. 1 to 42 republished in 1979. Volumes 1 to 33 are in the original publisher's cloth. Volumes 34 to 71 were bound from the parts 35 year ago in full dark green cloth, with gilt lettering. These later volumes have been bound from fine original copies, and they are not only bound with the adverts and incredibly clean, they also still have present many of the original inserts and prospectus that came with the magazine when it was issued. A very good run, that sadly lacks some of the supplement plates from early volumes (as is often the case) - notably the Whistler plates. There is also an article on D Y Cameron removed from volume 5 . Very Good. Cloth. 1893. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. [Bookseller: Stephen Foster Books]

Old & Rare Scottish Tartans with Historical Introduction and Descriptive Notices Edinburgh: George P. Johnston 1893, 1st edition, 68 of 250 numbered copies.. () viii, 61, 45pp. Very good. Large quarto. Original dark indigo blue cloth boards with gilt lettering on title and spine. Two large intricate gilt decorations on front, one small on spine. Gilt top foredge, others untrimmed. Scottish crests decorative endpapers. Previous owners signature on verso dated 1893; signed by publisher on half-title verso. Dutch, handmade paper. Square sepia image on title, offset onto half-title verso. 45 tartans described, each with a large cloth samples mounted on seperate opposite page. Cloths have offsetted onto description page. A historically significant reference for its subject matter and innovation. Most Scottish references of the time focused on clans with illustrations of tartans, but Stewarts book focused on the tartans themselves. The idea of mounting actual tartans, woven in silk, had never been done before. It provided an exact record of sett patterns. These 45 tartans were specifically chosen for either their rarity or their age. This is a great copy of a brilliant tartan reference.. [Bookseller: Aquila Books]

Stricker / Secy,? 8.5? x 11?, transmitting the letter, on Roosevelt?s personal Metropolitan magazine letterhead, with original 5.5? x 3.5? stamped postmarked envelope. Fine condition.Miss Josephine M. Stricker (1893-1988) was Roosevelt?s private secretary. In ?Talks With T.R. ?" From the Diaries of John J. Leary, Jr.? (Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1920), Leary recalls an event that occurred as 1920 approached: ??Why not?? Colonel Roosevelt asked this question one day when a visitor jokingly remarked that in the event of his returning to the White House, he might have a woman private secretary. The woman in question was Miss Josephine M. Stricker, who became attached to his staff in the Bull Moose days and was his secretary to the end. ?Miss Stricker is a perfectly good secretary,? he went on. ?She is competent, faithful, loyal. If she is to be criticized at all, it is because she tries to do too much herself. Should I by any chance return to the White House, I should be glad to have a secretary of her attainments. Some of the politicians might not like it, it might be somewhat embarrassing to them, and it would be a precedent, but I am sure that if I could stand it, and she could stand the politicians, we are about the only persons who would have to be considered.??"

ORIGINAL watercolor of Barbadoe's Park, Kilmarnock, Scotland, signed "G. Ross 1893" Kilmarnock, 1893. 21 x 14-1/2 inches. On verso is written in Ross's hand the title and "painted by Gordon Ross, St. Andrew's House, Kilmarnock." Also pasted on the verso is a page from the book Rambles Through Kilmarnock, reprinting a poem that evidently inspired Ross's work: "A wild, weird look has the 'Lady's Walk', / And the trees are stripped and old...". Unframed, on board; some wear and minor repair to corners or margins, overall very good . A very early work by Ross, then age 20, done in Scotland before his removal to the United States. Gordon Ross (1873-1946) was a prolific artist, working mostly in watercolor, from his early days in his native Scotland. As a book artist he tackled everything from Dickens to Shakespeare, including a number of titles for The Limited Editions Club. He is also noted for his sporting work, which included illustrations for The Derrydale Press, Surtees's Jorrocks Jaunts and Jolities, and several large prints of notable sportsmen, including Sir Thomas Lipton, Hugo Meynell, Peter Beckford, and Surtees himself. The eminent collector A. Edward Newton, who wrote the introduction to the Surtees edition, praised Ross in his book End Papers: "No one now living in Great Britain and doing work in his line can compare with Gordon Ross, now living in New York...He has no living superior; I doubt if he has his equal for the very quality needed to illustrate a humorous classic." A superb draftsman, with a gift for portraiture, Ross's work has an ingratiating quality of lively elegance; his originals very seldom come on the market [Bookseller: James Cummins Bookseller]
