La Vie de Notre Seigneur Jésus Christ: trois cent soixante-cinq compositions, tirées des Quatre Evangiles avec des notes et des dessins explicatifs par J. James Tissot. 2-vol. set with 2 volumes of extra suite (Unique copy) Alfred Mame et Fils 1896-97, Tours - 1/980. Folio. 272, 279 loose pages (text) + 36 loose plates, as issued, with an additional suite of 333 in-text plates (Volume I, 173; Volume II, 160) not called for in the collophon. Text volumes: Original publisher's decorative cloth. Portfolios housed in their marbled paper covered slipcases. Ornamental head, tailpieces and initials. Plate volumes: Full gilt-stamped brown leather with gold lettering on spines. Raised bands. Dentelles. Moire endpapers. All edges gilt. Original decorative wrappers bound in. Volumes housed in brown cloth clamshell boxes with gold lettering on spines. This stunning illustrated life of Jesus is divided into five sections (The Holy Childhood, the Ministry, Holy Week, The Passion, The Resurrection) and contains no less than 365 compositions from the four gospels. The numerous in-text illustrations are in full color, sepia, and monochrome. The text volumes are printed on grand velin paper with 36 tissue-guarded full-page hors-text plates in duplicate (color and green or sepia-tone lithographs). Leafs of color plates (first state) are stamped and each bears a facsimile of Jacques-Joseph Tissot's handwritten caption and signature. Leafs of second state plates are watermarked. Paper size 15 3/4 x 12 3/4 inches; image size varies (ca 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches). Our copy is complemented with a 2-vol. set containing a special suite of remarkably high quality gravure plates reproducing all of the in-text illustrations. The first volume reproduces the 173 in-text illustrations contained in the first text volume. The second volume reproduces the 160 in-text illustrations contained in the second text volume. This suite is not noted in the collophon. Paper of engraved plates is watermarked and measures appr. 15 1/2 x 12 inches. Image size varies (ca. 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches). A distinguished Pre-Raphaelite artist, Tissot's inspiration for his remarkable biblical illustrations comes from his transformative religious experience in the Parisian church of Saint-Sulpice in 1885. It caused him to abandon his successful life as a painter of British and French society life to travel to Egypt, Syria, and Palestine in 1886–1887, and again in 1889 where he visited all of the Holy sites. The ultimate goal of these travels was to produce a series of paintings for an illustrated biography of Jesus, and his later illustrated monumental Bible. Illustrated text volumes: Slipcases rubbed along edges and partly split. Spines of portfolios sunned. Both side flaps detached but present. Chemise of second portfolio partly damp-stained (not affecting leafs inside). Title page of second volume slightly foxed at lower margin. Moderate and sporadic foxing on a few tissue-guards. Plate volumes: Minor rubbing along edges of clamshell boxes. Text in French. Slipcases in overall fair, portfolios in good-, interior in very good, clamshell boxes in good, bindings and interior in fine condition.

In 1854 Harte left New York for California and went into mining country on a brief trip that legend has expanded into a lengthy participation in, and intimate knowledge of, camp life. In 1857 he was employed by the Northern Californian, a weekly paper. In about 1860 he moved to San Francisco and began to write for the Golden Era, which published the first of his Condensed Novels, brilliant parodies of James Fenimore Cooper, Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, and others. He edited the periodical Californian, for which he engaged Mark Twain to write weekly articles. In 1868 Harte was named editor of the Overland Monthly. For it he wrote "The Luck of Roaring Camp" and "The Outcasts of Poker Flat." Following The Luck of Roaring Camp, and Other Sketches (1870), he found himself world famous. He furthered his reputation with the poem "Plain Language from Truthful James" (1870), better known as "The Heathen Chinee." On it he based his best play, Ah Sin (1877), a collaboration with Twain" (Merriam-Webster’s Encyclopedia of Literature).BAL 7384. [Bookseller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc.]

Aktuelle Herausgeber sind Hans-Joachim Gehrke und Bernhard Zimmermann. Das Handbuch erscheint unregelmäßig im Verlag C. H. Beck in München. Anders als die zur selben Zeit konzipierte und begonnene Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft (RE) wollte das HdA das Wissen der Zeit über das Altertum im systematischen Zusammenhang darlegen. Jedoch beschränkt sich das Handbuch nicht wie Handbücher im Normalfall auf die Darstellung des aktuellen Wissensstandes; im HdA wurden auch eigene, originäre Forschungsleistungen publiziert. Wie die RE ist das Werk ein Jahrhundertprojekt. Anders als bei dieser wurden viele Bände des Handbuches aktualisiert und auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Das geschah durch Überarbeitungen oder durch völliges Neuverfassen der Teilbände. Das Handbuch der Altertumswissenschaft erscheint in zwölf Abteilungen, Abteilung elf ist jedoch nicht besetzt."

Autograph musical quotation signed ("G Verdi") from Falstaff 2 measures, with text commencing "Tutto nel mondo è burla l'uomo." With "Falstaff" in Verdi's hand to head and a date of "Milano... 1896" to lower left, the signature with the composer's customary flourish. Notated on card stock, 119 x 149 mm. Slightly worn and browned at extreme right edge; upper edge slightly smudged. In very good condition overall. . Composed in 1889-1892, Falstaff was Verdi's last opera. In 3 acts with a libretto by Boito after Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor and King Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, the work was first performed in Milan at La Scala on February 9, 1893. "Falstaff leads off the final ensemble, a comic fugue to the words ‘Tutto nel mondo è burla’ (‘Everything in the world is a joke’). The ironic reference to an academic form, the polyphony and confusion of voices and, most of all, the constant, driving energy of the piece is a fitting end to Verdi’s final opera."

COSTUME]. Katalog der Freiherrlich von Lipperheideschen Kostumbibliothek Verlag von Franz Lipperheide, 1896 - 1901 und 1901 - 1905 1896 - 1901 and 1901 - 1905, Berlin - Thick 4to., 2 vols. (COMPLETE). xxi, [3], xvi, 645 pp., with 310 illustrations; xii, 840 pp., with 293 illustrations. Altogether 4818 tems described. WITH: Lipperheide's 12-page "Desiderata" printed on blue paper (inexplicably bound in Vol. 1 between pp. 48-49). Bound for Martin Breslauer in somewhat later maroon half morocco over purple cloth, spines faded to chestnut brown, one cover with unusual vertical stripes (sunned). Paper very slightly toned as is true of all copies of the first edition. Overall in excellent antiquarian condition. Very nice copy of the First Edition, now scarce: ours is the only complete copy on the market. This is the indispensible catalogue of the greatest Costume book collection ever formed, in which are meticulously described, with full collations and plate counts, more than 5000 titles, and which is illustrated by no less than 603 illustrations in the text. Our copy contains a signed letter from the collector to Martin Brelauser (see below). Franz Joseph and Frieda von Lipperheide were at that time the foremost publishers of fashion journals in the world (e.g. "Die Modenwelt," "Die Dame," "Illustrierte Frauen-Zeitung"). At one point their fashion magazine empire required a staff of more than 400 workers. Franz Joseph von Lipperheide (1838-1906) begin forming his costume collection in about 1870, systematically acquiring primary sources and secondary literature about fashion and traditional costume; civil, professional and religious costumes; weapons and uniforms; masks, dance and theatrical costumes, and much more. He also collected books related to weaving and knitting, tailoring, embroidery and other crafts, fashion magazines and illustrated newspapers, almanacs, etc. In 1899 Lipperheide gave his very important library to the Prussian State Library where it resided in a large and beautifully appointed room, the stately bookcases surrounded by choice paintings and miniatures. Among Lipperheide's collection of ca. 5,560 costume books, 45 MSS, and 840 fashion Almanacs are numerous treasures and great rarities. To these we must also add approximately 2,750 drawings, 23,700 individual woodcuts, etchings, and lithographs, plus ca. 2,500 photographs. Lipperheide's 686 paintings and 200 portrait miniatures are now in the Gemäldegalerie Berlin. -- Our copy contains a signed note (text secretarial), dated 29 July 1895, to Martin Breslauer while he was in Paris. Breslauer was to become one of the greatest European booksellers, although tragically he was ruined by the Nazis and was forced to flee with his family to London, in 1937. He died of shock on 16 October 1941, the result of one of many German bombing compaigns on London. REFERENCES: Besterman 1504; Colas 1880; Hiler p. 547. NDB.

The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer. Now Newly Imprinted Hammersmith: Kelmscott Press, 1896. Folio (11-1/2 x 16-1/2 inches), [i]-ii, (1, title page), [1]-554, (2) pp. Printed on paper. Modern full blind-stamped pigskin, gilt edges, clasps, after the design of the original Cobden-Sanderson binding. Tiny spots of rust where the clasps attach to the boards inside, otherwise a perfect copy in a suitable binding. 425 copies were printed on paper and 14 on vellum. The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer was nearly 4 years in the making from conception to completion, with ÒCockerell recording in his diary on 11 June 1891 that Morris Ôthinks of printing a Chaucer from a blackletter fount which he hopes to designÕÓ (Peterson, 106). Printing began on 8 August 1894; December of the same year saw the designs for the original pigskin bindings; and the first two copies of the book were delivered on 2 June 1896 with Morris writing that he was Òvery satisfiedÓ (Peterson). Very satisfied indeed -- The Works is without question the grandest production from MorrisÕ workshop and one of the great books of all time. 87 woodcut illustrations by Edward Hooper after Burne-Jones designs; 14 large borders; 18 different frames around the illustrations; and 26 initial words designed for the book by William Morris (Peterson). Colin Franklin (The Private Presses, Second Edition, 1991) writes that Òfrom the first appearance the Chaucer gained a name as the finest book since Gutenberg. It has held its place near the head of the polls ever since. Booksellers take its current price for an index of the state of the nation. The terms which critics used in the eighteen-nineties to welcome it simply show what an impression MorrisÕs printing made upon late-Victorian bookmen.Ó Clark Library, Kelmscott and Doves, pp. 46-48.

CYNTHIA. In Two Volumes. (Very Fine Copy, Almost as New, in Custom Morocco Slipcase) London: Chatto & Windus, 1896. Merrick, Leonard. CYNTHIA. A Daughter of the Philistines. Two vols. Orig. cloth. London: Chatto & Windus, 1896. First edition. A very fine, fresh set in original publisher's blue decorated cloth, gilt. One couldn't possibly hope for a finer copy. Leonard Merrick (1864-1939) was born Leonard Miller, one of the few Jewish writers to make it in late Victorian and early Edwardian literary circles. Although largely forgotten today, he was highly regarded during his lifetime; both George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton praised CYNTHIA and J. M. Barrie called Merrick "a novelist's novelist." Barrie, Chesterton, and H. G. Wells joined forces to help issue a collected works of Merrick, fifteen volumes published during 1918-1922. Despite the misleading subtitle which seems to suggest a historical novel, CYNTHIA is the modern story of a struggling writer and a struggling writer's wife who live a middle-class version of the kind of working class author's nightmare beautifully exemplified by George Gissing's NEW GRUB STREET. A superb copy of a lost Victorian classic. Housed in a blue half-morocco slipcase. Sadleir 1709. Wolff 4746. First Edition. Decorative Boards. VERY FINE. [Bookseller: Lakin & Marley Rare Books]

Journal, etc., of the Horn Scientific Expedition to Central Australia (with plates and plans). 1894 Adelaide: C.E. Bristow, Government Printer, October, 1896. Foolscap folio, 32 pp., with 13 full page photogravure plates and four larger folding maps and sheets bound in (including the large map measuring 1290 x 1290 mm., and a plan of the Hermannsburg mission measuring 822 x 587 mm.); a fine copy in polished brown half calf by Sangorski, spine label. The report suppressed by Horn. First edition of 1896 publishing the results of the Horn scientific expedition and completing the series of inland exploration accounts published by government printer Charles Edwin Bristow in Adelaide throughout the 1890s. The verso of the title page lists the cost of printing, revealing that 650 copies were published (of which a significant proportion were withdrawn). The expedition was privately financed by wealthy Adelaide speculator and philanthropist William Austin Horn. When this report appeared by order of the parliament of South Australia, Horn personally requested that it be withdrawn given his rights of ownership of the cartographic and scientific data collected during the expedition. His request was granted, leaving a limited number of copies in circulation. Winnecke published the results the following year against Horn's wishes (see catalogue no. xxxx) using the four maps and sheets lithographed for this parliamentary report, including the enormous and impressive map of central Australia. This is an excellent copy of a scarce book, one of the last nineteenth-century milestones in inland exploration and scientific research. Given the acrimony surrounding the publication of the expedition's findings, this first edition is significant for the inclusion of two images of the members of the expedition. The first portrait is a formal sitting with Horn alongside Winnecke, Baldwin Spencer and the scientists. The second image depicts Horn with his men at the Alice Springs camp, interestingly the group includes two turbaned (and presumably Afghan) cameleers and an Aboriginal companion.
