Henry Holt and Company, New York. First edition. (Title page dated 1920, matching date on copyright page.) [viii], 375 pp. Publisher's blue cloth with dark green titles. About Very Good with cloth faintly mottled and worn away at head, spine lettering dulled, tips worn, private ex libris impression to title page. The first complete book publication of Turner's extremely influential essays including "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" (delivered as a lecture in 1893 and printed in periodicals and an offprint starting in 1894) as well twelve other essays outlining the Frontier or Turner Thesis of history for which he is famous. Rare. [Attributes: First Edition]

[not published], 1920. 17pp. typescript, plus one original painting and five ink sketches/drawings. Typescript in very good condition on onion skin paper, with some crner creases, but overall quite well-preserved. Painting in excellent condition, protected by an onionskin cover, and drawings mostly in excellent condition; a few taps to some corners. 17pp. typescript with some pencil hand-corrections for what appears to be a chapter in one volume of the "Budge and Betty" children's book series, authored by Ernest Protheroe. The typescript has a few corrections on each leaf. There are some maquettes or final pen and ink drawings which depict illustrations of various sized and shapes which were to be used in the book. There are pencil notations with locations for the illustrations, which vary wildly, so we presume that these illustrations may be for the whole book, and not just the single chapter whose typescript is presently included. Most arresting is the vibrant watercolor painting, which measures about 7.5" x 11", and is in a very "final" state, with great detail. Some extra leaves depict these same drawings and the painting, and appear to be proofs for the final illustrations which were likely used in the book. Since there is no title that exactly matches the title of the typescript, we are not 100% sure in which published book these original works ultimately appeared. In any event, a very nice grouping of original art and working text, fit for any great collection of book illustration or children's books.

Still reasonably clean with no major stains. Overall the contents are in good or better condition. Ca. 1915 photograph album dedicated solely to theatre actors and actresses in the St. Louis area, ca. 1915. The photographs are mostly credited to "Murillo" and "Gerhard Sisters", both St. Louis firms of the period.

Some of the photographs are signed (and all that are dated are dated 1915): those of Sarah Edwards, J. Humbird Duffy, Ethel Davies, Elsa Rendel, Isabel Randolph, and Helen Gleason. A search of many of these and other names reveal that they had careers in vaudeville or theatre, but eventually worked in Hollywood on the big screen. All photographs are at least 4" x 4" or so, and most are larger. There are a few wonderful images of whole theatre troupes in full costume. A great piece of pre-cinema performing arts, with a strong local focus. Good.

1920's edition of My BOOKHOUSE THE LATCH KEY by Olive Beaupre Miller. This is a one of a kind book. Here's what i know: A few years ago I was rummaging through an old barn at an estate sale. The barn was packed so full, there was barely still a walk space through it. Full of antiques and treasures of the past. After about 3 hours and quite a struggle I finally made it to the back. The back was full of ornate antique cabinets and furniture. One of the older dressers had several books inside. I love older books and believe in the near future printed books will definitely be a thing of the past. I was able to purchase this and a few others that day. It wasn't until I got home that I opened them. This book had been carved out by a gentleman and inscribed to his son as a gift. The inscription reads: 7/2/28 To: Allen Jr Always Keep Close By You Love Always, Pappy Allen The penmanship isn't the best so forgive me if you read a letter or two differently than i have. I have tried to research what type of gun it may have held, unfortunately it was not still in the book. Someone more educated on older firearms than I am may be able to figure it out. I measured the carving and the measurements are approximately: Length of barrel- 4 1/2" Width of barrel- 3/4" Barrel to End of Stock- 3" Depth of carving: 1" It clearly had a hammer. If you need more measurements message me exactly what you are needing. Carving goes from first cover page to page 266. Besides the obvious carving, the book is in good condition. The cover has been poked repeatedly with something? and has a few small tears. Th … [Click Below for Full Description]

1920. DONALD MENNIE CHINA NORTH & SOUTH A Series of Vandyk Photogravures Illustrating the Picturesque Aspect of Chinese Life and Surroundings Published by A. S. Watson & Co. Shanghai (The Shaghai Pharmacy Ltd.) Second & Revised Edition 1920 Cord bound album with stiff card covers with black lettering and photo pasted on the front.Undated, though 1920s. Title page and 30 leaves each with a tipped on Vandyk photogravure with printed captions. Some spliting along the sides of the spine back strip, and an inch missing from the lower spine, all holding together well enough. Contents and photgravures all very good. Donald Mennie (1875/1876 - 1941) was a Scottish bussinessman and amateur photographer. He arrived in Beijing in 1899; how and why is unfortunately unknown. What is known, is that he first worked as an assistant in the firm of Mactavish & Lehman & Co in Beijing. After this, he joined the company of A.S. Watson & Co in Shanghai and eventually became the firm's managing director. In his photographs Mennie seemed to have tried to capture a romantic vision of 'antique China', featuring dusty caravans of horses or camels, old palaces and authentic street scenes, all in and around Beijing. Between 1914 and 1927 he published several books covering his photographic work, including The Pageant of Peking (1920), Glimpses of China (1920), China, North and South (1922) and The Grandeur of the Gorges (1926). By these publications his work became better known and after 1900 he became proposed as a member of the Royal Geographic Society and Pictures of Peking. Mennie spent the last ye … [Click Below for Full Description]

Belle-Île en mer um, 1920. 16,5 x 12 cm., alt auf Karton (26,5 x 21,5 cm) montiert. Schöne Aufnahme aus den letzten Lebensjahren der wohl bedeutendsten Schauspielerin des 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts. Sarah Bernhardt präsentiert sich stolz neben einer Kanone auf ihrem Sommerwohnsitz einer alten Festung auf der Insel Belle-Île-en-mer vor der bretonischen Atlantikküste. - Bernhardt "gilt als die berühmteste Darstellerin ihrer Zeit und war einer der ersten Weltstars. Ein wesentlicher Teil ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit – und Voraussetzung für ihren weltweiten Ruhm – waren ausgedehnte Gastspielreisen. Mit ihrer eigenen Schauspieltruppe trat sie 1879 in London auf. 1880 folgte eine halbjährige Tournee durch 51 Städte der USA. 1881 gab sie Vorstellungen in Russland, Italien, Griechenland, Ungarn, der Schweiz, Dänemark, Belgien und den Niederlanden. Englands Königin Victoria und der russische Zar Alexander III. gehörten zu ihren Bewunderern. Sie galt als eine exzentrische, oft überspannte und launische Frau und hatte zahlreiche Liebhaber, darunter den Lebemann Charles Haas, den Schauspieler Jean Mounet-Sully sowie den Maler und Illustrator Gustave Doré. Bernhardt schuf sich durch ihre Exzentrik ein öffentliches Image: Sie stieg in einer Montgolfière auf in den Himmel über Frankreich und ließ Fotos verkaufen, auf denen zu sehen ist, wie sie in einem Sarg liegt und ihre Rollen studiert oder schläft. Ihre Wohnung beherbergte eine Menagerie heimischer und exotischer Tiere. Neben Romanen und Lustspielen schrieb sie 1907 ihre Memoiren (Mein Doppelleben). Damit inspirierte sie Marce … [Click Below for Full Description]

1920. A collection of 37 issues, possibly all published, of the irregularly distributed Italian-language anarchist newspaper, edited by Aldino Felicani, as an attempt to raise funds for the defense of Sacco and Vanzetti, each issue devoted to the latest developments in the landmark case, with scattered illustrations, primarily from photographs. Some moderate wear, toning, brittle newsprint with some minor chipping and marginal tears, some issues with splitting along fold, overall good. Folio. Self-wrpps., loose as issued. Boston, 1920-1925. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were two Italian migrant anarchists who were convicted of mudering two employees during the April 15, 1920 armed robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company in Braintree, Massachusetts. After only a few hours of deliberation, on July 14, 1921, the jury convicted them both of first-degree murder, and they were sentenced to death. Anti-Italianism and an anti-immigrant bias were suspected as having affected the verdict. A series of appeals followed, largely funded by the Sacco and Vanzetti Defense Committee, and based on recanted testimony, ballistics evidence, and an a confession from an alleged participant in the robbery. All appeals were denied, but by 1926 the case had become international news. Many suspected the men's innocence. In 1927, protests were held on their behalf throughout North America and Europe, as well as in Tokyo, Melbourne, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Montevideo, Johannesburg, and Auckland. In response, Massachusetts governor Alvan T. Fuller appointed … [Click Below for Full Description]

Due to this item's weight, extra shipping will be required.First editions, first impressions of all five volumes of Fritz Kahn's modernist magnum opus, a rare complete set including the famous poster "Der Mensch als Industriepalast", the poster "Stammbaum des Menschen" (Man's Family Tree), the eight page explanatory text accompanying the posters, the publisher's prospectus, 3D glasses for viewing some of the illustrations, and a broadside apologising for delays in publishing. Kahn, a German gynaecologist, was "arguably one of the most successful popular science writers internationally between 1920 and 1960" (Borck, "Communicating the Modern Body", Canadian Journal of Communications, Vol. 32, No. 3, p. 495). His heavily illustrated books combined science with the zeitgeist of Weimar Germany: new technologies, rapid industrialisation, and the Bauhaus and Dada movements. Das Leben des Menschen was Kahn's greatest achievement, a copiously illustrated five-volume set on human anatomy and physiology which took nearly a decade to complete. "Prolonged by the inflation crisis of 1923 and the economic depression at the end of the 1920s, but also by the difficulties of containing the increasingly extensive material in the initially planned volumes, the book finally amounted to more than 1,600 pages, with the last of its fifty binders issued and distributed in 1931, a decade after the start of the project. More than a thousand illustrations were included in the five volumes, and almost 150 colour plates" (Borck, pp. 501-502). Das Leben "fascinated laymen as well as scientists with its … [Click Below for Full Description]
