        &#147;She was driven away, beside herself with joy&#148;

      1910. A Spectacular Original Watercolor Drawing by Edmund DulacDepicting Cinderella on Her Way to the BallDULAC, Edmund (1882-1953). &#147;She was driven away, beside herself with joy.&#148; Original pen-and-ink and watercolor drawing for the color plate facing p. 54, illustrating &#147;Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper,&#148; in The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales from the Old French Retold by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (London: [1910]). This spectacular watercolor drawing is typical of Dulac&#146;s blue period and depicts a wooded scene with a full moon in the background and Cinderella being driven to the ball in &#147;a beautiful coach all covered with gold,&#148; drawn by horses &#147;of a lovely grey, dappled with mouse colour&#148; and accompanied by a coachman and three footmen in &#147;their bedizened liveries.&#148; Signed and dated at lower right. Image size: 12 1/2 x 10 1/4 inches (318 x 260 mm). Matted, framed, and glazed.&#147;&#145;Good-bye, child!&#146; said her godmother. &#145;But of one thing I must warn you seriously. I have power to send you thus to the ball, but my power lasts only until midnight. Not an instant beyond midnight must you stay there. If you over-stay the stroke of twelve, your coach will become but a pumpkin again, your horses will change back into mice, your footmen into lizards, and your ball dress shrink to the same rags in which I found you.&#146; Cinderella promised that she would not fail to take her departure before midnight: and, with that, the coachman cracked his whip and she was driven away, beside herself with joy.&#148;&#147;In November 1910, Hodder and Stoughton advertised Dulac&#146;s newest book, The Sleeping Beauty, as &#145;the most beautiful book ever published at a popular price&#146;. (All 1,000 copies of the de luxe edition had been sold out a month earlier)&#133;In painting the pictures [for this book, Dulac] found inspiration for his fairy tale characters&#146; dress and surroundings in the French 18th century. That of &#145;the period&#146;, as Mr. Quiller-Couch tells us in the preface, &#145;when the literature he illustrates was at the acme of its vogue&#146;. Such historical and artistic accuracy had become Dulac&#146;s habit as he fashioned the details of his gift books&#151;the binding, lettering style, end papers, pictures&#151;integrating all into a unified whole. The result of this effort was appreciated by the Illustrated London News critic who highly recommended The Sleeping Beauty book for adults as well as children (December 3, 1910): &#145;In binding, type, and illustrations, it is all that could be desired&#146;&#133;In the book&#146;s pictures themselves, Dulac&#146;s powerful, zesty and humorous style of the Arabian Nights and the Lyrics is much subdued&#133;Here his technique seems akin to Arthur Rackham&#146;s method of outlining figures in pen and ink and filling them in with colour. The complete illustrations too seem more like Rackham&#146;s than any others of Dulac&#146;s work&#148; (Hughey 23, Comment). &#147;In his painting, Edmund Dulac was ever the experimenter, ever the innovator&#133;From his first to his last picture, Dulac displayed sensational colours, great design impact, orientalism and humor. From among the illustrators of his period, he is known as the outstanding colourist. His special shade of blue was called, with double entendre, bleu du lac. Not only his blue, but his very French talent for unusual combinations of colors, produced stunning effects&#148; (Hughey, Introduction).&#147;After the appearance in 1907 of Stories from the Arabian Nights with fifty plates from his hand, Dulac became Rackham&#146;s chief rival in providing colored illustrations for reproduction by the three-color process for the giftbook trade. His best work, however, is to be found in The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales. His designs for the title story and &#145;Cinderella&#146; have ornate eighteenth-century settings in which some indebtedness to the engravings for Le cabinet des fées can be discerned&#148; (Ray, The Illustrator and the Book in England, pp. 207-209).

        The Importance of being Earnest. A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. Presented by Mr. George Alexander as a Souvenir of his Twentieth Year of Management of the St. James's Theatre, February 1st, 1910. SIGNED BY 'JOHN WORTHING'; 1200 COPIES PRINTED

      [Methuen, 1910]. 8vo., First Edition thus, on laid paper; original green pebble-grain cloth, sides with triple frame border enclosing title, author and presentation colophon all in gilt, gilt back, gilt top, uncut, a near fine copy in unclipped d/w.EDITION LIMITED TO 1200 COPIES.This copy was presented by George Alexander to Mr. Waddington with the former's signed holograph inscription on front free endpaper. A separate slip of St. James's Theatre stationery with George Alexander's signed holograph inscription in loosely inserted.Sir George Alexander (born George Alexander Gibb Samson, 1858-1918) was one of England's foremost actor managers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Beginning in amateur theatricals in 1875, he graduated to professional status in 1880 making his London debut in 1881 and playing a wide variety of roles in many leading companies, including Irving's Lyceum.In 1891 he became actor manager of St. James's Theatre, King Street, in the heart of London's exclusive St. James's quarter, where he rapidly secured a reputation for quality and innovation. He staged the premiere of Wilde's 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892) and in the following year Pinero's 'The Second Mrs Tanqueray' which brought stardom to Mrs. Patrick Campbell. He was to remain manager for the rest of his life.Alexander developed a particular talent for drawing room comedy, staging many of the finest examples of the genre and employing leading artists (including Alma Tadema and others from the Royal Academy) to design and create the famous St. James's backdrops.In 1895 he achieved his greatest contribution to theatre when he produced the first performance of 'The Importance of being Earnest' with himself in the lead role of John Worthing, a part he was to make his own. The first night, February 14th 1895, was perhaps the most memorable in Victorian theatre, with all seats sold and the Prince of Wales as guest of honour. A tip-off had warned Alexander that the Marquis of Queensbury, father of Lord Alfred Douglas, was intending to sabotage the performance; fortunately the Marquis was deterred by a strong police presence and left the theatre in disgust throwing his bouquet of vegetables into the gutter.Alexander reprised his performance in his revival of the production (at the same theatre) in 1909. Its continuing success prompted him to commission Methuen, the play's original publisher, to produce this special edition to mark his twentieth year as actor manager of St. James's Theatre. Robert Ross, Wilde's original dedicatee, contributed an original preface, saying 'The Importance of Being Earnest does not require any introduction, other than can be obtained by seeing it played by Mr. George Alexander and his well-chosen company. Of the many successful roles which he has sustained so brilliantly during his twenty years of management, I may be pardoned for thinking that so far as comedy is concerned 'John Worthing' is the masterpiece..'. Ross concludes his appreciation with confirmation that Wilde's first holograph draft of the play, presented by Ross to the Trustees of the British Museum, has been accepted for inclusion in the National Collection of Manuscripts.Alexander was knighted for services to the theatre in 1911 and remained head of St. James's Theatre until his death in 1918. The theatre itself, a great favourite with London society, was later owned by Laurence Olivier and his wife Vivien Leigh, but changing attitudes led to its slow decline and it was eventually closed in 1957 to make way for commercial development.This edition of Wilde's final and most famous drama, one of the finest and most popular comedies in the language, is notable on several counts. It is signed and presented as a celebration of success by the actor who created the play's leading role, it features a unique preface by Ross, it is tangibly a most attractive and elegant volume, it is inherently very scarce in any condition, and much the more so in this state with the rare d/w. IT IS, IN ESSENCE, A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH THEATRE.

        A New Modification of the Cloud Method of Determining the Elementary Electrical Charge and the Most Probable Value of that Charge.London: Taylor & Francis, 1910. First edition.

      Very rare offprint issue, from the library of Jean Becquerel, of Millikan's famous experiment in which he first provided the definitive proof that all electrical charges are exact multiples of a definite, fundamental value-the charge of the electron. Millikan's experiment is nowadays known as the 'oil-drop experiment' due to a later improvement by Millikan and his student Harvey Fletcher in 1910 - using oil in the cloud chamber - but it was in this paper (although water and alcohol were the liquids used) that Millikan first made precise measurements of the charge on single isolated droplets instead of as earlier just statistical averages on the surface of clouds of droplets.<br/><br/> Although important, the fundamental breakthrough in Millikan's work was not his measurement of the actual value of the electron's charge (in fact he was as close to the correct value in this paper dated October 1909 as he was in the later oil experiment of 1910), but the fact that Millikan was able to produce, isolate, and observe single droplets with electrical charges, and show that repeated measurements of the charges always revealed exact integral multiples of one fundamental unity value. Previous experiments by Thomson and Wilson had in fact revealed the same value of the electron's charge as Millikan's experiment did but their determinations were based on statistical averages on the surface of large clouds of numerous water droplets and repeated measurements on the clouds gave fractional values of the electron's charge. This fact implied to some antiatomistic Continental physicists that it was not the constant of a unique particle but a statistical average of diverse electrical energies. However, in this 1909 experiment Millikan showed that his single droplets could not hold a fractional charge of the electron's but always had a charge that was an exact integral multiple of the electron's (e.g., <i>2e, 3e, 4e, ...</i>). In 1910 Millikan and Fletcher improved and simplified the whole experiment by using oil, mercury, and glycerin as liquids instead of water; they could now observe the droplets for several hours instead of just under one minute and also neglect having to compensate for the evaporation of the water and alcohol droplets. And thus the experiment became known as the 'oil-drop experiment', but the crucial breakthrough had already taken place in this 1909 experiment. <br/><br/> In this paper Millikan emphasized that the very nature of his data refuted conclusively the minority of scientists who still held that electrons (and perhaps atoms too) were not necessarily fundamental, discrete particles. And he provided a value for the electronic charge which, when inserted in Niels Bohr's theoretical formula for the hydrogen spectrum, accurately gave the Rydberg constant-the first and most convincing proof of Bohr's quantum theory of the atom. <br/><br/> <i>'Among all physical constants there are two which will be universally admitted to be of predominant importance; the one is the velocity of light, which now appears in many of the fundamental equations of theoretical physics, and the other is the ultimate, or elementary, electrical charge, a knowledge of which makes possible a determination of the absolute values of all atomic and molecular weights, the absolute number of molecules in a given weight of any substance, the kinetic energy of agitation of any molecule at a given temperature, and a considerable number of other important physical quantities.'</i> (First paragraph of the offered paper). <br/><br/> In 1923 Millikan became the first American-born Nobel laureate for this work together with his1916 determination of Planck's constant on the basis of Einstein's theory of the photoelectric effect..

        THE NORTH POLE: With an introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. One hundred and sixteen illustrations from photographs.

      London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1910.. Limited Deluxe Edition of 500, signed by Peary and Bartlett, this copy is unnumbered; xii, 326 pages, illustrated, 116 illustrations from photographs, included 4 photogravures. All the photographs are tipped in throughout. Full velum bound,top edge of pages gilt,remainder of pages uncut. Original white covers, titled and ruled in gilt with gilt medallion to front and vignette of polar bear to spine and rear cover. Peary's account of his last expedition, in which he claimed to have reached the North Pole. 'The Pole at last!!! The prize of 3 centuries, my dream and ambition for 23 years. Mine at last' (Peary's diary quoted in Fleming, Ninety degrees north p. 363). This assertion, however, has remained subject to doubt as no one in the party on the final stage of the journey was sufficiently trained in navigation to confirm Peary's measurements, at times inaccurate. Also, the speeds which the expedition achieved in its final stages were about three times those made until then. This would only have been possible if no pressure ridges existed but Henson's description of tortured detours suggests otherwise. To Peary's irritation, he returned from the Arctic only to discover that Frederick Cook maintained that he had reached the North Pole the previous year. Frontipiece loosening, page 316 and the map are loose. Covers grubby, shelfware, bumped. Good
