El Comancho [pseudonym for W. S. Phillips]
        [Manuscript] The Adventures of Little Jack Rabbit, [together with] a specification letter by author and note from publisher relating thereto Based on nature and the actual habis of the Jack Rabbit. Scenes and surroundings are those under which the Jack Rabbit actually lives. Not a nature fake but a true to life story
      Seattle. Cloth . Very Good. A lovely mock-up manuscript of a chidren's story, with many original watercolored drawings, and generally several takes on each drawing. N.d., circa 1920. Oblong quarto, 35 by 28 cm, 14 by 11 inches. Unpaginated, 118 ff. Phillips was a published author who wrote several successful children's books about the West, including "Indian Tales for Little Folks". It is unknown why this particular manuscript was never published, given how far he got in the process. (It would seem doubtful that the concerns related to copyright, since the story is easily distinguishable from Peter Rabbit, from which the author expressly did draw inspiration, and which he explicitly cites as a template in his "specifications". The most significant difference is in this story's ambition to depict the animals more realistically and as true animals, not animals dressed in human clothes. Indeed, this conceit would set this story apart from most anthropomorphic juvenile literature of the day. In this story, the young rabbit, defying his mother's warning about coyotes, ventures out into the sagebrush and has close calls with not just a coyote but also an eagle, meets several other burrowing animals and has to escape from an irrigation ditch as he desperately seeks to find his way home. Effortlessly the author educates us in the process about the lifestyle of Jack Rabbits. The drawings are mounted on heavy stock and interleaved with pages of tracing paper and a light weight paper upon which variants of the drawings are rendered. Throughout are maginal notes covering details of the book's production, in addition to the letter of instructions. Heavy foxing on some leaves. A half-title or cover sheet somewhat chewed up. The binder is loose by the front joint, and the title label on the front board is heavily rubbed.

        Pra Malai: Thai Manuscript with Twenty Paintings.
      - An accordion-folded Thai manuscript measuring: 5 1/2 inches x 25 1/2 in. x 3 in. (thick) written on a thick paper in black ink, the pages without paintings are written in double columns with the words widely spaced. The text from the front is ninety-five pages, with a title on the reverse of the front cover, and ninety-six pages on the reverse side. There are a total of twenty paintings, arranged as ten sets, with one of each set on the sides that the paintings are displayed on. These are painted in colors with some gold highlighting, and include a set of seated monks in yellow robes; a set of facing divinities with different faces, colors, with gold; another set of similar facing divinties, with gold; a third set of differing, facing divinities with gold; a scene with a man being speared by a hunter with a dog, with a bleeding figure in a tree, and facing this the standing figure of the monk Pra Malai, with a male and female figure surrounded by flames; a set with a figure of the standing monk with a kneeling figure offering a steaming bowl, while two figures also bring food as an offering; a set where the standing monk is offered a flower by a blue-loinclothed man, and the man gathers flowers before mountain scenery; a set with the seated monk with offerings at a shrine, with a seated figure, three divinities with gold against a blue background; a set of two differing divinities seated before a shrine, with two other divinities facing, all with gold details; a set with a standing monk with figure in a blue loincloth, figure in a yellow loincloth with a kneeling, robed figure in attitude of reverence. These paintings illustrate the Pra Malai story, including the monk's visit to hell, and the offering of flowers to the monk by a peasant of the Himalayas. The covers are made of a thicker, folded paper, which has been folded and covered with a black lacquer. The outer covers show some chipping away of the paper, and general wear from use. The left-hand margins of the pages show some damp, with a few scattered spots, wear of the pages. This manuscript shows signs of being actually used for the traditional readings of the Pra Malai legend, and has not been restored. It was purchased by a Cleveland, Ohio based book collector, who was then attached to the American Consular Service in Bankok, in what was then Siam, in the early 1920's, and appears to have been made in Thailand in the 19th century. The scan shows one of the seated divinities, with a sample of the text and inner border. Weight: 6 lbs. Postage and packing is extra on this item. [Attributes: Soft Cover]

        Reliefpanorama mit der Umgebung, die Orte als Vogelschauansichten.
      . 3 Blatt Bleistiftzeichnungen, z.T. blau aquarelliert, von J. Ruep, um 1920, je ca. 31 x 45 cm.. Die vorliegenden drei Blätter dokumentieren sehr schön die Arbeitsweise des Künstlers Josef Ruep. Der erste, auf Transparentpapier ausgeführte Entwurf beschäftigt sich mit der Konzeption des Bildes, zeigt den Gesamtblick ohne jedoch die Details schon auszuarbeiten. Die Bergkette im Hintergrund ist nur in Umrißen angedeutet, während z.B. Reit im Winkl schon weitgehend ausgearbeitet ist. Im zweiten Blatt sind Walm- und Reitberg, Weitsee und Winklmoos, Fellhorn und Kössener Tal schon detaillierter dargestellt und auch beschriftet. Das letzte Blatt zeigt eine noch genauere Gestaltung der Berge, die Gewässer sind hier aquarelliert, z.T. mit Weißhöhung, und die Beschriftung sehr exakt. Das ganze Blatt ist bildmäßig mit gekonnten Schraffuren, exakten Konturierungen und schönen Hell-Dunkel-Effekten gestaltet. - Zwei Blätter auf festem Zeichenpapier, eines auf Transparentpapier; sehr gut erhalten.

Rackham illus.] The Brothers Grimm
        HANSEL AND GRETHEL & OTHER TALES
      New York E.P. Dutton and Co. 1920 - First separate edition, American issue. With 20 tipped-in colour plates and numerous black and white illustrations by Arthur Rackham. 4to, original red cloth with gilt pictorial vignette and lettering on upper cover and black lettering on spine, t.e.g. x, 160. A very nice copy. The cloth only lightly mellowed, internally clean and fresh. SCARCE. It was FAIRY TALES OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM, first published in 1909, for which Rackham had the most affection, perhaps because it was the first book to bring him success. Constable, during and after the war, reissued the stories in three separate books (LITTLE BROTHER, LITTLE SISTER; SNOWDROP; and HANSEL AND GRETHEL) to rekindle interest in fairy books in general and Rackham's work in particular. The American edition was published by Duttin the same year. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Josef Von Eichendorff
        Von deutscher Seele.Musik Hans Pfitzner
      Vienna - A series of poems by Joseff von Eichendorff written in white ink on grey hand made paper and bound in a custom binding. The work is entitled The German Soul and features a selection of romantic songs and poems which had been set to the music of Hans Pfitzner. Pfitzner composed his cantata based on Eichendorff's poems in 1920 and it was first performed in 1921. Pfizner wrote the work as Germany was losing Alsace-Lorraine to France. Although the book is neither dated nor signed it comes from the library of Hertha Rosenbaum who was previously married to the calligrapher Rudolf von Larisch under the name Hertha Larisch-Ramsauer although she continued to exhibit her work under the name Hertha Sladky (ate least according to the catalogue of the Internationale Ausstellung Moderne Kunstlerischer Schrift held in honour of von Larisch's 70th birthday in May 1926, he, Hertha Sladky and Hertha Ramsauer all lived at the same address). Rudolf von Larisch (1856-1934) was a founder member of the Austrian Werkbund in 1912 and the Wiener Werkstatte, teaching calligraphy to Hertha (1897-1972) when she was his student. She also taught book-binding and calligraphy in her own right. The text is written in a fine (although difficult), modern, cursive hand on 16 sides, each leaf followed by a white blank leaf, all bound in a concertina format gathered at the spine with white silk cords and with hand-made paper covers. Poems include Der alte Garten, Nachtgruss, Die Norne und der Ritter. The handwriting most closely resembles that developed by von Larisch although it may also be by Sladky/Ramsauer.Hertha Ramsauer produced another illuminated edition of Eichendorff's poems for the 1926 exhibition (no. 35). Please ask for more images if required. [Attributes: Soft Cover]
