        Louis Wain&#39;s Animal Book

      1928. first edition. &#39;Cats and Dogs&#39; in BethlemWAIN, Louis. Louis Wain&#39;s Animal Book. London & Glasgow: Collins&#39; Clear-type Press, [Collins Bumper Books, 1928]. First edition. Small quarto (8 7/16 x 6 7/16 inches; 215 x 164 mm.). 128 unnumbered pages. Full color title-page, full color frontispiece and one full color plate. Profusely illustrated throughout with two-tone color illustrations and black and white line drawings. Original color pictorial yellow boards. Some minor [old] worming to to last leaf and rear paste-down, otherwise an exceptionally fine copy of this rare Louis Wain title.At the end of the nineteenth century, Louis Wain (1860-1939), the Edwardian cat artist who went mad, became a household name as an illustrator of cats, whom he depicted in all sorts of activities, from skating and playing cricket to driving motor cars, attending dances, and playing musical instruments. &#147;He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world. English cats that do not look like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves&#148; (H.G. Wells).&#147;From 1883, Wain began to draw cats as they had never been drawn before, cats in humorous guises, in human situations, but always beautifully handled&#133;although he was sometimes forced to draw dogs before he became well-known!&#148; (Houfe, The Dictionary of British Book Illustrators and Caricaturists 1800-1914).It is well known that Louis Wain did some of his best work after he was declared insane. He had suffered the loss of his wife Emily in 1886, just three years after they were married. In 1914 he had invested money in his porcelain &#39;Futurist Cats&#39; but within two months of the launching of the cats, the Great War broke out. It is said that a ship carrying a cargo of them was torpedoed, and with it sank all Louis Wain&#39;s hopes of a financial return from the project. This was not the worst of Wain&#39;s misfortunes&#133; On Wednesday October 7th, 1914, Louis Wain "slipped on the stairs" and fell off a London Omnibus (open-top bus) which had swerved and braked to avoid &#39;a cat&#39;. For more than a week he lay unconscious in St. Bartholomew&#39;s Hospital. When he came round, Wain moaned something about "The cat! The cat!" Not very long passed before he had to go to a mental hospital. Cats had indeed robbed him of his wealth, his health and his reason. When his sisters could no longer cope with his erratic and occasionally violent behaviour, he was finally committed, in 1924, to a pauper ward of Springfield Mental Hospital in Tooting. A year later, he was discovered there and his circumstances were widely publicized, leading to appeals from such figures as H. G. Wells and the personal intervention of the Prime Minister. In the Autumn of 1927 Wain was transferred to the Bethlem Royal Hospital in Southwark, and again in May 1930 to Napsbury Hospital near St Albans in Hertfordshire, north of London. This hospital was relatively pleasant, with a garden and colony of cats, and he spent his final fifteen years there in peace. While he became increasingly deluded, his erratic mood swings subsided, and he continued drawing for pleasure. His work from this period is marked by bright colours, flowers, and intricate and abstract patterns, though his primary subject remained the same.Dale, 105

        A Book Of Words - World First Impression

      Macmillan 1928 - The youngest ever Nobel Prize For Literature winner, and the first English language recipient; as if that was not enough, Kipling was, of course, a vastly popular writer all over the world. This Near Fine first edition and world first printing of the collected speeches and addresses from 1928 is in exceptional condition, although it lacks its jacket. The corners are undamaged, the binding unblemished, the spine is not faded and the gilded elephant on the red cover is bright. But the most important aspect of this copy is, of course, the signature of Rudyard Kipling, beautifully signed on the front end paper, which was often his chosen signing page. The signature is in ink, which has faded over the years. This copy was bought at Batemans, the home of Rudyard Kipling, and now administered by the National Trust. It is in the familiar scarlet cloth livery of Macmillan, and the title page is in two colours. A very rare signature indeed, on an uncommon book, in great collectable condition.

        MYTHOLOGIE ASIATIC ILLUSTREE

      Paris: Le Librairie de France, 1928. Limited edition, number 22 of 100. Beautifully illustrated with color and black and white photographs of the art and antiquities of Asian cultures. Folio, superb Art Deco binding by Paul Bonet with the original paper wraps bound in. Richly grained black morocco with the spine in Deco design incorporating finely gilt tooled multi-coloured onlays, designed titling gilt surrounded by a spray of gold, the covers with large central panel in pedestal design, surrounded by gold lines and tools, and with multi-coloured onlays tooled in gold. Gold and black marbled endpapers, t. e.g., others uncut. Housed in a black morocco backed chemise over marbled boards with black morocco edges. 432, plates A very fine copy. RARE BONET BINDING ON AN ESPECIALLY INTERESTING AND WELL ILLUSTRATED TEXT. A superb example of an Art Deco custom binding design by Paul Bonet. Bonet first rose to prominence at the auction of the library of a renowned Parisian book collector in 1930. The sale included 52 bindings of the relatively unknown designer Bonet. Book connoisseurs realized that a new genius had arisen. <br> Born in 1889, Bonet began to bind books as a hobby in 1920. Five years later examples of his designs were included in the exposition L&#146;Arte Du Livre Francais and again later in the year at the Salon d&#146;Automne. Unlike other designers, Bonet left the construction of his bindings to skilled artisans, of whom he demanded the highest standards. His early designs between 1925-1929 were in a thoroughly modern style executed in a strictly traditional manner with blind and gold tooled fillets and inlays of leather. Later he would begin to incorporate less traditional materials like metals and woods. By 1931 Bonet was firmly established as a respected leader in the world of French binding design. <br> Bonet and his patrons were very particular about the books they chose to bind. This limited edition was no doubt chosen for the beauty of it&#146;s illustrations and the exotic subject matter.

Beggars Can Choose, by Margaret Weymouth Jackson. Author of Elizabeth&#39;s Tower. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Publishers, [1928.] 319p. Ernestine Briceland, daughter of a wealthy Chicago family, and Will Todd, artist for the Chicago Sun, meet after twelve years of separation, and the friendship that they had known as children quickly blossoms into love. Ernestine&#39;s parents disapprove of the union, wanting her to marry someone who can offer her security, but she perseveres in her love, and the Bricelands eventually accept her choice in a husband. Will thoroughly enjoys his work; Ernestine delights in the freedom and new horizons formerly inaccessible in the stately family home and the exclusive girl&#39;s school; and together they savor the pleasure of living, working, and planning their future. Through their efforts they reach a measure of affluency, but choose to sacrifice their savings and adjust their ambitions when more pressing needs arise. Set in Chicago during the 1920s, Beggars Can Choose challenges the concepts of social inbreeding in a charming warm-hearted novel which avoids the old clichÃ©s prevalent in the early love story, as it contrasts marriage for security with marriage for love.

        [Original Dust Jacket Art]: Spider Boy

      [New York: Alfred A. Knopf. 1928]. First. Original tempura painted art for the dust jacket of Carl Van Vechten&#39;s novel Spider Boy. 6.5" x 7.5". Unsigned (as is the finished dust jacket). Matted and framed. Fine. Hollywood star waves to the adoring multitudes as her entourage looks on, and a flash camera goes off in the left foreground. The painted lettering was changed to an entirely different font for the finished jacket, and the rest of the image shows minor variations, mostly in color. A very nearly final draft, and the only extant painting of the jacket of which we are aware. An iconic and wonderfully evocative image of the Jazz Age. The satiric novel featured a mildly successful playwright, Ambrose Deacon, who is lured to Hollywood where he is pressed into service as a screenwriter for an egotistical superstar. Ambrose has no clue about film but rapidly discovers that no one in Hollywood cares, as long as he lends his modest prestige to the film colony&#39;s pretensions. With a second printing of the novel, very good in very good dustwrapper. .

        Decline and Fall.

      London, Chapman & Hall 1928. - First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Original red and black marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt, all particularly clean and bright. Page edges rather foxed, endpapers with only a couple foxing marks, rather foxed on early and late pages (though the paper is high quality and sound), bookseller's small stamp on the bottom hinge corner of the fly-leaf, o/w very good in the exceeding rare dustjacket designed and illustrated by the author. The jacket is very good, with very little soiling or wear,spine slightly darkened, title label faded a bit (as usual), but still clear and light red, with a few very small chips and a few small tears repaired/restored professionally. The price of 7/6 is intact on the front flap. This copy has, as do all first printings, the noted "issue" point (on pages 168 & 169, respectively), the names "Martin Gaythorne-Brodie" and "Kevin Saunderson", later changed in the second printing (sometimes called second "issue") to the names "The Hon. Miles Malpractice" and "Lord Parakeet". This was Waugh's first novel (preceded by a poem and an essay on the Pre-Raphaelites, both privately printed), and was a remarkably assured fictional debut, marking the author as a vigorous new comic talent. It remains one of the funniest novels of the twentieth century. Waugh contributed the wonderful dustjacket and five interior drawings, and dedicated the book to his Oxford contemporary, Harold Acton. It is quite simply the scarcest of the five classic novels the author published before 1940, and aside from some age showing at the page edges, after 85 years truly rare in intact original condition.

        Der Grosse Gatsby

      Th. Knaur Nachf, Berlin 1928 - illus. yellow & black card wraps with price of "1 Mk" printed on front, the digit 9 is printed at the base of spine (now faint) to indicate number 9 in the series. Light shelf wear and reading crease, light dirt marks and spots of foxing to edges, small bump to both ends of spine, v.light creasing to one rear corner, pp218-219 have spots of foxing to one corner away from the text, some tanning to stiching holes, 254pp This is the first German language edition published in 1928; and is one of only three non-English translations published before the author's death in 1940. The scarcity of this edition is seemingly due to two factors: firstly, the novel didn't really attract much attention on release; secondly, the programme of book burning by Nazis during the 1930's. From WorldCat searches, our copy seems to be one of only five that are locatable including a copy in the library at Princeton University. [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover]
