        Seven Hundred Chess Problems [together with] The Twentieth Century Retractor,

      London: Henry Sotheran & Co.,, 1902 & 1907. Chess Fantasies, and Letter Problems. 2 volumes, octavo. Blue and red cloth, titles to spines, triple line border and chess roundel to boards gilt, patterned endpapers, all edges gilt. Tipped-in portrait frontispiece to each volume, text and board Spines a little faded, light rubbing to ends and corners, some light marking to boards, light spotting to some early and late leaves in both volumes, but a very good set. First editions, first impressions of "two of the most elegant chess books ever to appear" (Hooper & Whyld 27), each a superb association copy with an inscription from Baird herself. Seven Hundred Chess Problems is inscribed on the front free endpaper verso, "C. S. Kipping, a well earned prize in the solution competition of the Chess Amateur, Edith E. A. Baird, August 4th 1923". C. S. Kipping (1891-1964) was a renowned chess writer and problemist, he went on to edit The Chess Amateur periodical, and The Problemist, and was Problem Editor of the well-known magazine Chess. He is estimated to have composed over 7,000 problems of all types, and was probably the most prolific composer of all time. As such this inscription presents a highly compelling instance of Baird, the elder doyenne of chess problems, passing the torch to the young Kipping who would go on to outreach her. The Twentieth Century Retractor also bears an interesting chess association, with a tipped in compliments slip bearing an inscription, dated July 3rd 1907, from Baird, "With Mrs W. J. Baird's compliments" and a note concerning a book review. On the verso of this slip, the recipient and owner of this volume has signed his name "H. F. L. Meyer". Meyer (1839-1928) was himself a noted German problemist and chess author, and has added to this slip his list of the problems of Baird's that "I solved (in 1906)". Edith Baird was a well-known figure in the chess world during the early twentieth century. She was a regular contributor to British Chess Magazine and the leading newspapers of the day, and established herself as a problem composer of the highest calibre. In her career she "composed more than 2000 problems which... were noted for their soundness" (Hooper & Whyld 27, with remarkably few errors detected in her body of work. The first volume of this set presents 700 classic chess problems, each handsomely presented and finely printed with a board diagram in red and blue. Baird was also one of the first to create multi-move retractor problems, chess puzzles in which the solver must work backwards, taking back a specified number of moves before a forward mating move can be performed. The second volume in this set, The Twentieth Century Retractor, is one of the first known collections of such problems. Each of the three hundred problems in this book is handsomely presented and introduced by a number of Shakespearean quotations designed to enrich the solving experience as well as provide hints towards the solution. Copies of Baird's beautiful and excellent books are very scarce in themselves, and pleasant to have offered in tandem - inscribed copies of either are genuinely rare, and no signed or inscribed copies (or even copies with tipped-in inscriptions) are recorded at auction. These facts, combined with the fine chess associations pertaining to both copies, must make this set a highly compelling proposition for any top-notch chess library.

        The Hound of The Baskervilles: Another Adventure of Sherlock Holmes

      London: George Newnes, 1902 . Illustrated by Sidney Paget. First edition, first printing. Publisher&#39;s decorative red cloth binding designed by Alfred Garth Jones, with poster-style hound illustration in black and gilt to the front board, Art Nouveau decorative tooling to the front board and spine, lettered in gilt. An unusually fine copy, with only a hint of wear to the extremities, spine almost completely unfaded, bright gilt, a hint of spotting to the endpapers, otherwise bright and fresh pages. A bright and striking unsophisticated copy. Originally published serially in the Strand Magazine between August 1901 and April 1902, The Hound of the Baskervilles is Doyle&#39;s third novel to feature his detective character Sherlock Holmes. Like his previous two Holmes novels, The Hound of the Baskervilles is illustrated with black and white illustrations by Sidney Paget. The author had intended his second Holmes novel, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1894), which concludes with "The Final Problem, a story that ends with Holmes falling to his death at the Reichenbach Falls after fighting with his arch nemesis Professor Moriarty, to be the final appearance of Sherlock Holmes." After much public demand, Doyle revived his character with The Hound of the Baskervilles, the most popular of the Holmes cannon, which purports to be an episode earlier in the detective&#39;s career, chronologically prior to "The Final Problem." The story tells of a murder mystery at the Baskerville Hall country house that involves the Baskerville family&#39;s superstition surrounding a hellhound myth. The plot was largely inspired by Doyle&#39;s golfing holiday at Cromer in Norfolk in the spring of 1901, where he spent time with a young journalist friend named Bertram Fletcher Robinson, who told Doyle a legend about a haunting ghost hound in the moors of Dartmoor. The success of The Hound of the Baskervilles directly contributed to Doyle&#39;s resurrection of Holmes in The Return of Sherlock Holmes, in which Doyle explains how the master detective survived such an enormous fall. Alfred Garth Jones (1872-1955) was a British artist, illustrator, and book designer. Known primarily for his woodcuts, pen and ink line drawings, and watercolors, Jones&#39; style is hallmarked by his bold, thick lines and his Art Nouveau aesthetic. Trained in both Manchester and Paris, Jones created many types of book art, including illustrations, bookplates, binding designs, and page decorations.. Illus. by Paget, Sidney; Jones, Alfred Garth. 1st Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

        Autographed Letter Describing Dawson City and Its Inhabitants Dated September 1902

      Dawson City 1902. () Very good. Original signed letter on 4 sheets of letterhead from Occidental Hotel in Skagway, Alaska. Writing on 6 of 8 pages. Two vertical and three horizontal folds. Some light edgewear and wear to folds. Top edge lightly age-toned. A fascinating letter, written in a clear, steady hand, wherein Mrs. Dubell relates her detailed impressions of Dawson City to a friend in New Jersey. Mrs. Dubell and her husband had recently moved to Dawson City, and Mrs. Dubell is clearly impressed and surprised by Dawson&#39;s relatively metropolitan feel. She writes: "I see as fine dressed ladies on the street here as you will see in any large city and I think I have seen the finest looking men here as I even saw." She also notes that the Presbyterian Church cost "80,000 to build... And the music is as good as you will hear in any church." Mrs. Dubell then describes her house across the river from Dawson and remarks that "in the evening the city looks fine all lighted up with electric lights." She also details the wonderful vegetables she can grow in her garden and relates a wedding she attended of a gentlemen who moved to Dawson 4 years ago (at the height of the Gold Rush) and who just brought his intended to Dawson from California days ago for the wedding. The Dubells ran a greenhouse service in Dawson which grew produce. All in all, a great letter with detailed observations of a young and bustling Dawson City..

        Durch den Indischen Archipel. Eine KÃ¼nstlerfahrt

      Stuttgart: Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, 1902. Quarto; profusely illustrated including eight tipped-in colour plates; fine in original bevelled gilt boards. A lavishly-illustrated deluxe publication of the Danish artist Hugo V. Pedersen&#39;s sketch-journal of his five-year journey through the East Indies. Pedersen was born in Copenhagen in 1870, and trained as an artist in Denmark and Germany. In the mid-1890s he sailed to Sumatra, and then on to Penang and Singapore, which is described and illustrated in detail. However the bulk of his stay was spent in the Dutch East Indies, which afforded him the material for most of the sketches in this work. Pedersen&#39;s drawings reflect his fascination with the exotic culture of the East.

        The Life of a Bold AB on his Ship in the Rolling C

      London: Dean & Son, circa, 1902. Small folio rag book with 16 illustrated pages; some fraying to edges otherwise in very good condition. First edition: an unusually good copy of this attractive children&#39;s book with a wonderful naval theme. Tall and well-printed, this copy has almost none of the unravelling or "cropping" sometimes seen in a work which dates from before the introduction of pinking shears to strengthen the edges of each page. This alphabet book is the first of Henry Samuel Dean&#39;s famous rag books. It was Dean who popularised the format in the early twentieth century as a perfect introduction to reading for small children, chiefly because the material was so sturdy and, indeed, washable. His success with the format led him to establish "Dean&#39;s Rag Book Company", initially exclusively making rag books, but later expanded to produce a variety of toys. The illustrator, Will Kidd, published several children&#39;s books, including Baa Baa Black Sheep, also published by Dean. Here, Kidd&#39;s theme is the British Navy at the turn of the twentieth-century. Although most of the pages give rollicking images of Jacks and Tars enjoying life on the "C", there is also an interesting depiction at "K for the King", a silouhette of Edward VII. A particularly good page accompanies "V for the Victory", the British flagship of the Battle of Trafalgar, here immortalised in the lines: "V for the Victory / A relic of the past, / Although her timbers may decay, / Her fame will ever last." Interestingly, OCLC only lists electronic copies of this rare title; copies of the third edition of 1903 are known at the British Library and the Bodleian.

        Autograph letter signed in full to "Herr Levy"

      . 2-1/3 pp. of a bifolium. Dated [Berlin]-Charlottenburg, January 23, 1902. In German (with transcription and translation). &#11;&#11;Regarding a recommendation for the director of the Berliner TonkÃ¼nstlerorchester, Herr Strunz, and mentioning Strauss's "Singgedicht," Feursnot. &#11;&#11;Strunz "is looking for some patrons enthusiastic about the arts who could help him materially... Is it very outrageous of me to bother you with this? Since, however, I myself, too, am only guided by purely artistic interest in this enterprise, to which I contribute the greatest sacrifices of time and effort myself, perhaps you will forgive me... I am going to travel to Vienna tomorrow for the premiere of my opera..."&#11;&#11;Creased at folds and very slightly overall; slightly defective at inner fold, with four small file holes to blank areas filled in with matching paper, slightly affecting several letters. . We have been unable to identify Strauss's correspondent with certainty, although it is possible that he is the German composer and patron of the arts, Martin Levy (1836-1911). &#11;&#11;The Berliner TonkÃ¼nstlerorchester, an ensemble devoted to contemporary music, was founded by Strauss. &#11;&#11;Feuersnot ("Fire-Famine"), a "Singgedicht" or "sung poem" in one act to a libretto by Ernst von Wolzogen, was first performed at the Hofoper in Dresden on November 21, 1901; it had its Viennese premiere on January 29, 1902. "Strauss&#146;s second operatic essay was a ribald exercise in snook-cocking. His first opera Guntram had suffered a painful fiasco in Munich, his home town, and Feuersnot was his jovial revenge... That Feuersnot should be appreciated only by scholars was the last thing Strauss intended: for the sake of the dewily attractive, well-shaped score, there is a strong case for reinventing its text in terms as rudely up to date as need be."

        Peryshko Finista Yasna-Sokola [The Feather of Finist the Falcon]

      St. Petersburg: The Department for the Production of State Documents [Expeditsii Zagotovleny Gosudarstvennukh], 1902. First Edition. Wraps. Very Good Plus. Hauntingly beautiful chromolithographic images by Ivan Biliban. 4to, measuring 32 by 26 cm, and 12 pp., featuring seven chromolithographs in addition to front cover and the rear cover vignette. Two of the chromos within are full page. In addition, there is the chromo decorative borders, very much a part of the integral whole. This work is part of a series of indigenous fairy tales the Russian government commissioned Bilibin to illustrate. To do so Bilibin paid meticulous care to actual traditional costume, architecture and decor. The work cemented Bilibin's renown, which was also built on stage design. The front cover is lightly soiled. Minor flake loss along the joint. Still a lovely copy.

        Five months after the publication of his latest book, ?The First Men in the Moon,? H.G. Wells will not present his book to a library because <i>?to write a book of this sort in the place of ?popular? fiction means a direct loss to me of several hundred pounds ? I think it is for some one else to buy & distribute the book??</i>

      Autograph Letter Signed ?H.G. Wells,? three pages, 4.5? x 7?, front & verso on two conjoined sheets. On stationery embossed ?Spade House, Sandgate,? [England], March 17, 1902. To Miss Mary Rawlings. Toning with white discoloration. Mounting remnants. Fine condition.In part, ?I am very sorry that I am unable to present my book to the South Place library. The number of applications of this kind is very considerable ... To write a book of this sort in the place of ?popular? fiction means a direct loss to me of several hundred pounds & a grave invasion of the prospects of those who are dependent upon me. I think it is for some one else to buy & distribute the book. I must also point out that any copy purchased through a bookseller stimulates the publication & sale of other books of the same class, as against fiction...??The First Men in the Moon,? published in late September 1901, was H.G. Wells? latest work at the time of this letter.
