c. 1920. Early 20th Century French Empire Dor'e bronze inkwell featuring prominently a large bronze eagle flanked by two bronze inkwells on clawed feet. Sited on a green marble base atop two bronze winged lions and two rear feet. The entire piece measures 15.25 inches long, 7.25 inches deep, and 8.5 inches tall. In fine condition. A handsome library decoration. Inkwells became popular after the Romans invaded Egypt in the first century B.C.E., where the earliest examples were used in a highly restricted quantity by Egyptian scribes. The practice of using inkwells to write fell out of primary use in the mid 20th century when fountain pens were developed and nibs were first mass-produced by Josiah Mason in Birmingham England in 1828.

The Clason Map Company, [1920]., Chicago, Denver. Original color, pictorial, stiff wrappers, two folding maps (each affixed to the front and rear inside covers), 32 pp., illustrated. Rare pocket map and guide to Wyoming, published by Clason Map Company. The front map gives an overview of Wyoming state roads and distances, and on the verso is printed a mileage map of principal roads across the United States. The second map is slightly larger and much more detailed, shows not only roads and towns, but also outline counties and national forests, and delineates major geological features as well as significant oil fields. The text, in addition to providing traveler's information, indexes of significant towns, locations of services, contains an effusive promotional essay about Wyoming that touches on many of its major attractions and praises its growing agricultural and oil industries, with several photographic reproductions. We locate three institutional examples, at the University of Wyoming, the University of Idaho, and the Colorado School of Mines. Light wear and a light corner crease to top edge of front cover panel, two tiny areas at top margin of a few pages of a faint old water stain, a short separation at the head of the rear map, but both maps are generally in fine condition.

There are several pictures of beaches as well as pine plantations, limestone quarries, churches, farms with cattle, and boiling houses for sugar cane. There are also pictures of homes and people riding in horse driven carriages. Most of the photographs are of the young children in the family.

The pictures of the children usually are posed shots of them in groups or single shots of the children in formal attire. Several shots are of "Jessie" dancing and posing.

Standard Slide Corp, 1920. Collection of seven (7) lantern slides hand-colored in transparent dyes on glass. In original tape casings. Well preserved, each about near fine. An uncommonly well-preserved and beautiful collection of silent-era movie-house marketing slides, ca. 1920. Intended for projection as movie-goers made their way to seats, and during intermissions, reel changes, film repairs, and the like, the slides are colorfully executed in a striking Deco style. Messages vary from announcements of coming attractions to pleas for quiet children. Slide titles include: "Complete Change of Program Tomorrow," "The Management of This Theatre Will be Glad to Hear from Anyone Who Has a Just Criticism..." etc. While slides promoting upcoming attractions produced by movie studios are relatively common, in-house slides such as these are decidely more ephemeral. A scarce survival and an attractive relic of the silent-film era and early American cinema.

[Los Angeles, 1920. Overall, very good.. 137 maps cards, each 10.5 x 3.75 inches, plus folding map index. Light tanning, occasional light wear. Set numbered 1-221; lacks cards 6, 19, 32-35, 70, 88; cards numbered 135-199, 205-214 not present but not shown in index. A substantial collection of over 135 strip maps that delineate the principal automobile routes in California during the 1910s, published by the Automobile Club of Southern California. The cards are accompanied by a folding map index, which shows the overall chart of the routes in the state, with roads numbered to match the individual cards on which they appear. The routes depicted are particularly plentiful and thorough for the Los Angeles area and the region stretching east to San Bernardino and Redlands and south to Balboa and Laguna, but they provide direction for motorists throughout the state. The versos of many cards list hotels and garages officially approved by the Automobile Club which are noted on the maps themselves. The present group of maps is nearly complete, lacking eight cards for routes numbered on the index. We locate sizable collections of these maps, similar to the one present here, at Claremont, Berkeley, UC San Diego, and the University of Chicago. All are incomplete to some degree. A collection with approximately half the maps indexed is at Yale. A group of this size and near completeness is quite scarce.

When Bohla began his second portfolio, Neue Motive, it was meant to become an inspiration for the viewer and entice him or her to be active and creative in this field. The backdrop for this work is stated in the introduction by the author: "The study of nature serves as foundation from the outset. Not to copy nature, as a trained eye sees it, was the intention, something different could be created only when considering the form of the presentation. The objective is to create studies in a beautiful rendition, the extraction of decorative forms while applying complete freedom, recording the essence while omitting all ornateness is the general guideline. Starting with the choice of motifs diligence has to be applied. Useful native plants and animals are plentiful in nature.

c1920. This handmade photography guide, called, Kodakery, contains a series of drawings, photographs, and printed photographs, used to illustrate the art of photography. Made from a photo album, it contains 23 pages of written text, 5 pages of drawings, 26 individual photographs, and 16 printed photographs. Kodakery is a term that was derived from the camera name "Kodak", and according to this guide it meant "the taking of pictures, developing and finally printing to show the picture." The guide starts off with a description of the camera itself, its various parts and 6 different types of lenses (miniscus, concave, convex, meniscus achromatic, rapid rectilnear, and anastigmatic lenses), and more specifically how light enters the camera through the different lenses. The guide continues on to provide in-depth explanations of a fixed focus camera and of that of an adjustable focal length, and what that means for the camera's depth of focus, even discussing what F-stops are best for different types of pictures. Next the guide discusses the film itself and its different parts: a strip of celluloid, a gelatin, and a silver bromide, before continuing on to instruct the reader on how to develop the film and how make prints from the negatives. This section is rather in depth, as it goes into the room requirements, the chemicals needed, how to enlarge prints, and different contrast filters that can be used. The guide ends with a series of quick tips for the reader to remember, such as "be sure the temperature of the developer and fixing is below 70 degrees" and "fixed focus cameras … [Click Below for Full Description]

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1920. #47 of sixty SIGNED copies of the first edition of this play, written as sort of a joke, says Mencken, mostly by him with some embellishments by Nathan; they tried to get it produced under a pseudonym but failed, then decided to publish it: they intended that it should contain no new ideas. There were 60 signed copies produced, 50 for sale; an "Acting Edition" of 200, none of which were for sale; and a numbered trade edition of 2000, unsigned. (Adler, pages 25/6). Hardcover, vellum spine over black speckled boards. Edges worn, vellum spotted & stained; no jacket. Text clean; 183 pages. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Octavo.

1920. One of a series of five photographs known as The Cottingley Fairy pictures -- one of the great photographic hoaxes. Two young girls cousins, Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wright, produced the five pictures (two in 1917 and three more in 1920) using the camera which belonged to Elsie's father and taking them while playing in the garden of Elsie's home in Cottingley. In 1919 Elsie's mother took the first two pictures to a meeting of the Theosophical Society where all assembled were enthralled. They came to the attention of one of leaders, Edward Gardner, at the society's annual conference, who had them "authenticated" by photographer Harold Snelling who declared them "genuine unfaked photographs of single exposure". The images began circulating among the English spiritualist community, which included Arthur Conan Doyle. It was Doyle who urged the girls to take more photographs in 1920 -- this image is from that group. Some years later Gardner published Fairies: The Cottingley Photographs and Their Sequel. He described this image #4 as taken August 1920. Camera: Cameo Quarter. He explains why Elsie does not seem to be looking directly at the fairy: "With fairy lovers the habit of looking at first a little sideways is common". The seriousness of this description underscores the importance of these photographs to spiritualists of the early 20th century, and the absurdity as well. The photographs are sometimes found on cardstock mounts with printed captions underneath. This silver gelatin print, with a darkened caption, we believe to be a bit later, and probabl … [Click Below for Full Description]
