Brand, Max (pseud. of Frederick Faust)
        Trailin'
      New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1920 - The author's second novel, combining mystery and western themes in a superb narrative of pursuit. In the book, Brand introduces a motif he would return to in many of his subsequent works. As one critic summarized it, "the hero's Oedipal search for his father [as] his trailin' becomes The Quest of all young men on such journeys." It was filmed as TRAILIN' (1921) starring Tom Mix, and as A HOLY TERROR (1931), with George O'Brien. Spine lettering faded; a very good copy in a very good example of the excessively rare dustwrapper, with a few chips and thins, and some staining to the spine. [Attributes: First Edition]

[RUSSIAN REVOLUTION - LITERACY] Artist unidentified
        Original lithographed poster: ??????? ??????. I. ????? II. ???????? III. ??????? ???? ["Read Aloud! 1. Newspapers 2. Literature 3. Science Books"]
      Moscow: Izdatel'stvo "Doloi negramotnost, [1920]. Lithograph in colors, 67cm x 102cm (ca 26" x 40"). Private ownership stamps to three blank portions; faint vertical and horizontal fold lines, with brief splits at extremities; minor rubbing at extremities, not affecting text or image; an excellent, unrestored example, Grade A-/B+. Unbacked. & & An early, large and colorful poster in the "lubok" style, urging upon all literate citizens the responsibility to read aloud and educate their less fortunate brethren. The upper panels offer suggestions for what to read -- "Newspapers," "Tales" (i.e. literature) and "Science Books." The bottom panels enumerate the best places for a reader to draw an audience -- the social club, the school, the tea room, the farmyard, etc. & & Such posters derived their visual language from the traditional Russian lubok, a pictorial, narrative broadside, often block-printed, which, beginning as early as the seventeenth century, served as "a sui generis encyclopedia, newspaper, satire sheet, book and entertainment" (O.D. Baldina, Russkie narodnye kartinki p.3, quoted in Stephen White, The Bolshevik Poster, New Haven: 1988). During the Revolution, the form was revived by such artists as Bilibin and Mayakovsky to present visual propaganda to a generally illiterate or semi-literate audience. These modern lubki generally had a straightforward pedagogical intent and were intended for distribution in rural areas where literacy rates were lowest (see White, The Bolshevik Poster, p.3). Given this tendency to far-flung distribution, the fragile paper used in production, the rather ephemeral nature of the message, and the unsophisticated visual style of these posters, we find very few of them in commerce. The current example is a splendid representative of the genre, and in unusually fine condition.

      1920. Mr. Rackham Breaks New Ground in the Illustration of Irish Literature…"One of 520 Signed Copies[RACKHAM, Arthur, illustrator]. STEPHENS, James. Irish Fairy Tales. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. London: Macmillan & Co., 1920.Deluxe Edition. Limited to 520 copies, signed by the artist. Large quarto. [2, blank], [2, limitation leaf], x, 318, [2, blank] pp. Sixteen color plates (including frontispiece) mounted on cream paper, with descriptive tissue guards, and twenty-one drawings in black and white.Original quarter vellum, ruled in gilt, over parchment boards. Front cover and spine decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt. Top edge gilt, others uncut. Covers very lightly browned and some light offsetting to end-papers. A couple of very light marks on upper cover and a tiny and almost unnoticeable amount of (insect) damage on the lower-edge turn-ins. Armorial bookplate of Agnes Marion Armitage on front pastedown. Overall an excellent copy of one of Mr. Rackham's best titles."Rackham's books for the English market in the early post-war years included Flora Annie Steel's English Fairy Tales Retold (1918)… and his friend James Stephen's collection of Irish Fairy Tales… In the latter book, Rackham broke new ground in the illustration of Irish literature. He had been persuaded to tackle Stephens's stories by Walter Starkie, who had vowed to give his uncle 'no peace' until he had agreed to illustrate them. In writing the stories, Stephens had attempted to create an Irish equivalent of The Arabian Nights, his own poetic retelling of the stories which existed in the oral tradition and in Gaelic texts, but which had not appeared accessibly in print. Rackham rose to the occasion, and his nephew's haunting of him was justified. The Dublin Independent was particularly warm in welcoming the collection, remarking: 'We read English tales with appreciation because pictures have familiarised us with English imagery. A Fenian tale lacks imagery because we have no art to give it colour and shape to what are presently only names. Some of Mr. Rackham's pictures are pure poems - they set you dreaming." (Hamilton, p. 128)."Rackham's two great books of the twenties were James Stephens' Irish Fairy Tales of 1920 and Shakespeare's Tempest of 1926... Beyond the softness of style and inventiveness, the most striking thing about the colour plates for Irish Fairy Tales is the felicitous and appropriate use of celtic borders" (Gettings, p. 143).Lattimore and Haskell, p. 52. Riall, p. 138. Gettings, p.179. Hamilton, p. 185.

      Paris: Grenelle. Very Good with no dust jacket. ca 1920. Hardcover. Chromotype; 4to 11" - 13" tall; ca4800 pages; The Book of the thousand nights and one night. Literal and complete translation of Dr. JC Mardrus. French language text. Original attractive 1/2 morocco leather and marbled boards; crubbed extremities. Plates and illustrations. Page borders. Light browning to pages. Handsome large volumes weighing in at about 60 pounds. Large frames varied colors and 156 color plates reproducing miniatures of ancient manuscripts Persian and Hindu. Apparently Mardrus' French translation could be seen as an interpretation more than a translation. Mardrus's version of the Arabian Nights is racy, elegant, and highly readable. It is mentioned explicitly in the pages of A Remembrance of Things Past . Mardrus inserted a lot of imaginative material of his own, and his translation is therefore not wholly authentic, even though it is very well written and developed. As a doctor for the French government, he worked throughout Morocco and the Far East. He produced other translations. Fine binding. .

Winston S. Churchill
        Memorandum of the Secretary of State for War Relating to the Army Estimates for 1920-21
      Offered here is a scarce official government publication from Churchill's period as Secretary of State for War and Air - a Memorandum to Parliament regarding his Army Estimates for 1920-21 - meant to accompany his speech to Parliament of 23 February 1920. In January 1919, when he became Secretary of State for War and Air, Winston Churchill was only in his early 40s. Nonetheless, he was already a polarizing national figure who had already held several important Cabinet positions and been a force in national politics for nearly two decades. And he was already steeped in the politics, strategy, tactics, and realities of war. As a young man, he had seen and fought in wars on several continents, as both an insightful war correspondent and a professional soldier. In the First World War, Churchill's experience was truly singular, having served both in the Cabinet and on the front. Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty until 1915 and then, after assuming questionable blame for the Dardanelles tragedy, served as a lieutenant colonel leading a battalion in the trenches, before being politically rehabilitated and returned to the Cabinet, before the war's end, as Minster of Munitions. As the new Secretary of State for War and Air in January 1919, Churchill immediately faced two overarching challenges: to demobilize the army that had fought the First World War, and to replace it with the army that would be prepared to fight future wars. On 23 February 1920, Churchill presented "The Army Estimates for 1920-21" to the House of Commons, announcing the final phases of demobilization and the replacement of the WWI army with "an entirely new Volunteer Army". The original government document offered here is Churchill's memorandum to Parliament "Issued in Amplification of the Speech of the Secretary of State introducing the Army Estimates for 1920-21." The two paragraph introduction by Churchill is dated 21 January, two days prior to Churchill's speech to Parliament. The Memorandum is intended to prepare the Parliamentary ground for the budgetary plow with what Churchill calls in his page 2 introduction "the interesting details". Churchill's speech to Parliament made the case for a very different army, bolstered by Churchill's assessment of major evolutions in strategic realities and the nature and mechanics of warfare itself. Churchill's memorandum offered here substantiates with details his requests and considerations, summarizing lessons of the war, the requirements of "the Future Army", and discussing a broad range of training, personnel policies, and organizational priorities. By all accounts, Churchill handled the mammoth task of demobilizing nearly 3.5 million British soldiers with success. Creating and sustaining a modern army proved more frustrating for Churchill, who found himself: "in charge of a War Office without a war, committed to economies". (See Martin Gilbert, Official Biography, Volume IV, p.506.) This very scarce document encapsulates much of Churchill's effort with respect to the army and offers a unique and substantial window into his time at the War Office. By 1921, he would be eager to leave the War Office, frustrated the lack of outlet for his talents and by differences with his Prime Minister. He would become Secretary of State for the Colonies in February 1921 and would not return to a military Cabinet post until the onset of the Second World War in 1939. This original Memorandum is in superlative, virtually mint, condition. There is absolutely no wear, no soiling, and no age-toning to either the covers or contents. Even the original string at the binding is bright, clean, and perfect. The only markings are official-looking ink stamped pagination (159-177) at the top right corners, indicating that this publication was likely once bound, which would explain the superlative condition. Bibliographic reference: Cohen B21.

Also a noted pacifist, activist supporter of the League of Nations and the National Council for the Prevention of War, all things Lewis believed in. Lewis wrote the introduction to her famous pacifist manifesto, Between War and Peace: A Handbook for Peace Workers (1928).

MOOR, Dmitri

      Moscow: Litizdat, 1920. First Edition. Lithographed poster in two colors, 103cm x 35.5cm (ca 40" x 14"). Moderate overall soil; repaired tear with a tiny (1/16") loss at left margin, else a bright, complete copy. Archivally backed on linen. Grade B+. & & A classic, early, and much-reproduced poster by Moor, one of the major artists of the revolutionary era. The image depicts the three fallen armies of the counterrevolution - identified as Yudenich, Denikin, and Kolchak - lying on a bed of bayonets, while two new enemies of the revolution - Wrangel and Pilsudsky - surge forward to a similar fate, spurred on by their masters Entente, Bourgeois, and Landowner. Moor adopted this somewhat novel oblong format for a number of other works, most notably his 1921 poster celebrating the end of Civil War, "The Bloody Path of Struggle is Over." An uncommon and highly desirable example of Moor's civil-war era work.

Grazia Deledda won the 1926 Nobel Prize in Literature for "her idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general". One of Italy's greatest and most popular authors, she was the second woman of any nationality to win the Prize (following the 1909 winner, Selma Lagerlof). In his presentation speech Henrik Schück, President of the Nobel Foundation specifically cited "La Madre" and stated: "It is rather difficult for a foreigner to judge the artistic merit of her style. I shall therefore quote one of the most famous Italian critics on this matter. «Her style», he writes, «is that of the great masters of the narrative; it has the characteristic marks of all great novelists. No one in Italy today writes novels which have the vigour of style, the power of craftsmanship, the structure, or the social relevance which I found in some, even the latest, works of Grazia Deledda such as La Madre (1920) [The Mother] and Il Segreto dell'uomo solitario (1921) [The Secret of the Solitary Man].» Signed copies of Grazia Deledda's works are quite scarce, and copies of "La Madre" in the first edition are exceedingly so. Our search of the auction records reveals only one signed copy of any of Grazia Deledda's works having come to auction in the last 42 years. A Very Good copy of an exceedingly scarce book, SIGNED BY GRAZIA DELEDDA. RARE.
