He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon. His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, some narrative poems and other verses. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories and these works remain regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres even today. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608. Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the 19th century. The Romantics, in particular, acclaimed Shakespeare's genius. His plays remain highly popular today and are constantly studied, performed, and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world.

Interior also in marvellous condition. Exlbiris / Bookplate of film critic Leonie Graetz (Exlibris was made by the artist Hermann Westphal) to the front pastedown. Very Rare in this condition !. Later Edition of the First Edition [7th printing of June 1899]. London, Leonard Smithers, 1899. 8°. 31 pages. Original Hardcover (Quarter vellum with mustard boards). Unusually excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Interior also in marvellous condition. Exlbiris / Bookplate of film critic Leonie Graetz (Exlibris was made by the artist Hermann Westphal) to the front pastedown. Very Rare in this condition ! The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a poem by Oscar Wilde, written in exile either in Berneval-le-Grand or in Dieppe, France, after his release from Reading Gaol (pronounced "redding jail") on 19 May 1897. Wilde had been incarcerated in Reading, after being convicted of homosexual offences in 1895 and sentenced to two years' hard labour in prison. During his imprisonment, on Tuesday, 7 July 1896, a hanging took place. Charles Thomas Wooldridge had been a trooper in the Royal Horse Guards. He was convicted of cutting the throat of his wife, Laura Ellen, earlier that year at Clewer, near Windsor. He was aged only 30 when executed. Wilde spent mid-1897 with Robert Ross in Berneval-le-Grand, where he wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol. The poem narrates the execution of Wooldridge; it moves from an objective story-telling to symbolic identification with the prisoners as a whole. No attempt is made to assess the justice of the laws which convicted them, but rather the poem highlights the brutalisation of the punishment that all convicts share. Wilde juxtaposes the executed man and himself with the line "Yet each man kills the thing he loves". Wilde too was separated from his wife and sons. He adopted the proletarian ballad form, and suggested it be published in Reynold's Magazine, "because it circulates widely among the criminal classes ?- to which I now belong ?- for once I will be read by my peers ?- a new experience for me". The finished poem was published by Leonard Smithers on February 13, 1898 under the name C.3.3., which stood for cell block C, landing 3, cell 3. This ensured that Wilde's name ?- by then notorious ?- did not appear on the poem's front cover. It was not commonly known, until the 7th printing in June 1899, that C.3.3. was actually Wilde. The first edition, of 800 copies, sold out within a week, and Smithers announced that a second edition would be ready within another week; that was printed on February 24th, in 1000 copies, which also sold well. A third edition, of 99 numbered copies "signed by the author" was printed on March 4th, on the same day a fourth edition of 1200 ordinary copies was printed. A fifth edition of a 1000 copies was printed on March 17th, and a sixth edition was printed in 1000 copies on May 21st, 1898. So far the book's title page had identified the author only as C.3.3., although many reviewers, and of course those who bought the numbered and autographed third edition copies, knew that Wilde was the author, but the seventh edition, printed on June 23, 1899 actually revealed the author's identity, putting the name Oscar Wilde, in square brackets, below the C.3.3.. It brought him a small income in his remaining lifetime. The poem consists of 109 stanzas of 6 lines, of 8-6-8-6-8-6 syllables, and rhyming a-b-c-b-d-b. Some stanzas incorporate rhymes within some of all of the 8-syllable lines. The whole poem is grouped into 6 untitled sections of 16, 13, 37, 23, 17 & 3 stanzas. A version with only 63 of the stanzas, divided into 4 sections of 15, 7, 22 & 19 stanzas, and allegedly based on the original draft, was included in the posthumous editions of Wilde's poetry edited by Robert Ross, "for the benefit of reciters and their audiences who have found the entire poem too long for declamation".

        STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO

      - BANNERMAN,HELEN. LITTLE BLACK SAMBO. Lond:Grant Richards 1899. 16mo (3 1/8 x 5"), green striped cloth, vi-viii, 57p., spine faded and very slightly soiled, 2 pages printed close to margin else near fine, tight and clean. THIS COPY INSCRIBED BY A BANNERMAN FAMILY MEMBER, DATED NOVMBER 1899! First edition of this fourth title in the Dumpy Book series with color illustrations engraved on wood and printed by EDMUND EVANS. Written by Bannerman during a long train ride, it was immediately successful and went into several editions within the first year of publication. Aside from creating the now controversial characters of Sambo and his parents, the books was also revolutionary for its small size designed for small hands and may very well have influenced Beatrix Potter in designing her small format books. This is a nice copy of a rare children's classic. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

        Avant-projet de tramway sur la Commune de Saint-Médard-en-Jalles (Avril 1899) Ligne de Saint Médard au Camp. Plan des Traverses manuscrit déroulant au 200e [ Avec : ] Profil en travers schématique [ Avec : ] Profil au point métrique [ Avec : ] Plan général au 10.000e

      1899 - Lot de 4 plans déroulants, détaillés ainsi : Plan des Traverses manuscrit : 1 plan manuscrit déroulant format 31 x 1313 cm, encre et aquarelle ; Profil en travers schématique : plan manuscrit déroulant format 31 x 76 cm, encre ; Profil au point métrique : plan manuscrit déroulant format 31 x 57 cm, encre et aquarelle ; Plan général au 10.000e sur papier calque Bel avant-projet établi en avril 1899 pour une ligne de tramway qui aurait relié sur 2225 m le Bourg de Saint-Médard (à la jonction de la ligne de tramway Bordeaux-Saint-Médard-en-Jalles) au "Camp de Saint Médard" (approximativement partant de la Mairie, puis longeant la Jalle par le Nord, apparemment dans l'axe de l'actuelle rue Clémenceau, jusqu'à l'actuelle rue Berthelot). D'une extrême précision, l'impressionnant plan des traverses de plus de 13 mètres de long (échelle d'un centimètre pour 2 mètres.) précise l'identité de chacun des propriétaires de parcelle limitrophe. Ce projet ne semble pas avoir abouti, et si le tramway reliant Bordeaux à Saint-Médard-en-Jalles est bien inauguré en avril 1900, cette extension n'aurait jamais abouti. Durant les deux guerres mondiales, un embranchement conduira le personnel de la poudrerie par l'actuelle rue du Docteur-Alcide Castaing, donc par le sud, mais non par la ligne prévue dans cet avant-projet. Le plan général établi sur papier calque, est fortement abîmé en tête, mais les autres documents (qui faisaient partie de tout un dossier de géomètre), dont l'impressionnant plan des traverses sont en excellent état (un accroc sans manque n'affectant pas le tracé au plan des traverses).

        THE ROUGH RIDERS

      1899 - Illustrated. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1899. Original olive cloth with Rough Riders medallion in gilt on the front cover. First Edition of Theodore Roosevelt's own book about the volunteer regiment he organized for the Spanish-American War -- possibly the most famous regiment in American history, made up of college boys and cowboys, socialites and hunters, athletes and Indians, clergymen and policemen. Roosevelt had resigned from his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to embark on this mission. Upon his triumphant return from Cuba, Roosevelt campaigned successfully to become governor of New York -- at which time he wrote his own account of his experience with the Rough Riders -- this book. The following year he would become McKinley's vice president; the party bosses had figured it would be a job where he would disappear for awhile -- but, upon the assassination of McKinley in 1901, he would accede to the presidency.~The book is profusely illustrated, mostly by photographs, but also with an image of Frederic Remington's famous painting "Charge of the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill."~This is an unusually fine copy, without wear -- though as always with this color cloth, the spine is a bit faded (less than usual). Provenance: 1899 title page penciled signature of W. Hinckle Smith, the broker and financier who became wealthy from his involvement with fellow-Philadelphian Meyer Guggenheim's copper interests -- and who in 1907 would create the mansion "Timberline" in Bryn Mawr (architect Charles Platt, landscaping by Olmsted Bros.) -- which estate would crumble into decay after Smith's death in 1943, and ultimately be demolished in 1977.

        Red Star Line / New York - Antwerp (circa 1899)

      Sackett & Wilhelms Litho & Ptg. Co., New York - Vintage Poster, in a large format, by Henri Cassiers. "The Red Star Line", an American-Belgian shipping company founded in Philadelphia, 1871, had become the third largest transatlantic passenger carrier by 1906. Cassiers worked for the company over 25 years, designing their advertising posters, postcards & menus. His distinguished theme of brightly dressed peasants is clean and precise; the colours are flat and bright. This poster has never been folded and has had several edge tears professionally repaired.(see photos) The largest repaired tear extended about 4.5 inches into the center left border,is difficult to see in the photos. Small chips & creases remain around the border outside of the framing area and there are several amateur tape repairs along one edge on the back. Overall, an excellent example of early 20th century lithography and 'shipping art' by this noteable Belgian artist. It must be said that the paper used with this poster is now, somewhat fragile. Every caution will be taken to ship this delicate item securely. Gentle handling and proper archival framing is recommended. Other photos available if required. Inquiries welcome.

        Portraits of Native Americans.

      Chicago: Privately Printed, 1899. - 32 fine colortypes of portraits of Native Americans (7 portraits each 8 4/8 x 5 4/8 inches; and 25 each 11 x 8 inches), each SIGNED AND INSCRIBED on the verso by Burbank. Preserved in a modern pocket binder. Provenance: with Swann Galleries, 16th of June, 2005, lot 271 A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF BURBANK'S PORTRAITS OF NATIVE AMERICANS, SIGNED AND INSCRIBED AT LENGTH BY HIM ON THE VERSOS, including Series A, 1-21, published privately in 1899 as "The Burbank Indian portraits; a collection of portraits of noted Indian chiefs and warriors". Burbank was the nephew of Edward Ayer, historian of Native-American cultures and owner of one of the largest libraries on the subject. The bibliography of his collection became the first comprehensive treatment of the literature of Native Americans. As president of the Field Columbian Museum he commissioned his nephew to create portraits of the leading Native Americans of the time. Burbank became one of the most prominent painters of Native Americans and it is said he produced the only painted portrait of Geronimo taken from life. The paintings are ethnographically correct and are often the only surviving record of the sitter. Beginning in 1897, Burbank lived and painted among the tribes, eventually completing more than 1200 works documenting at least 125 of the nation's tribes in a variety of media. The reproductions offered here are significant for the autograph notes added by Burbank on the versos of the prints. He humanizes his subjects and makes them real. In a lengthy description of Geronimo he notes that "he was most kind to animals and a kindly husband to his sick wife." He goes on to describe how Geronimo took on some his wife's duties, including keeping the house in order."With his first commission to paint Geronimo from life, Burbank travelled to to the reservation of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Once a feared warrior, Geronimo was no longer a threat but was becoming a symbol of the plight of the Indian, by then relocated and confined to reservations. When he met Geronimo and asked to paint his portrait, Geronimo replied "one dollar" and offered Burbank a photograph of himself. Burbank had to explain through an interpreter that he wished to paint the chief, not purchase a photograph of him, and after several compromises between artist and subject, Geronimo conceded; thus began a friendship that allowed Burbank to paint several portraits of Geronimo from life; he was the only artist ever allowed to do so" (Waechter "The Art of Elbridge Ayer Burbank from the Harold and Bonnie Julsen Collection" page 8). In speaking of Chief Kicking-Bear of the Sioux tribe he says, "He wanted me to live with him the remainder of my life. When he was in Washington D. C. the Smithsonian took a plaster cast of his whole body on account of the perfect form of it." Together, an important archive containing insights on the American Indian by one the greatest portraitists of the time. Burbank's portraits now reside in some of the most august institutions in America: Art Institute of Chicago American Museum of Natural History Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library - Yale University Butler Institute of American Art C.

        Tennen Moyo Kagami

      1899. TENNEN, Kaigai. Tennen Moyo Kagami (A Mirror of Patterns by Tennen). Edited by Yamada Geiso (Yamada Geisodo Zoban). Five volumes. Contains a total of 187 full-page colour plates. Folio, 370 x 255 mm, original and/or early stitched Japanese wrappers, laid into protective chemise and beige cloth folding box with tan title-label on spine. Kyoto: Unsodo, [1899]. $ 15,000.00 The Tennen Moyo Kagami is a celebrated "pattern book" which was extremely popular from around 1890 to 1930. The "nishiki e" style woodcuts offer polychrome Kimono designs and motifs meant for use on other textiles, etc. There are several portrayals of complete kimonos, folded over a hanging pole, or stretched flat across the page. However, most of the coloured woodcuts offer traditional motifs for kimono sleeves or lower parts of the kimono. The subject matter includes: small animals, flowers, bamboo, birds, butterflies, Japanese fans, maple leaves, landscape river and mountain scenes, and abstract geometric designs. Japanese Pattern Books encompassed everything from "source books for artisans, commercial concerns manufacturing textiles, pottery, lacquered goods, fusuma and the like, to the fine-art book produced with lavish colour prints" (Hillier p. 978). Hillier refers to Tennen as "one of the most adept of pattern-designers" apart from Sekka. The Moyo Kagami by Kaigai Tennen and Kamisaka Sekka's Momoyogusa represent the most outstanding types of their kind ever issued. Both books are virtusoso examples of colour woodblock printing, produced by the most prolific and, according to Hillier, the most expert publisher of the Japanese "pattern book." Some soiling to covers, several of the interleaved protective tissues torn, a few missing. A few creases to ca. a dozen pages, otherwise, a finely preserved, subtly coloured, copy of a book normally found in heavily used and worn condition. Few copies survive intact and in nice condition. Hillier, The Art of the Japanese Book, pp. 978, 982.

First edition, first impression, first or second state - Cohen is ambiguous about the status of the point, a minor typographic error (second inverted comma missing after THE 'LONDON GAZETTE[']) corrected on p. 459 of volume II - of Churchill's second book, preceded only by The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898), "2000 copies published on 6 November 1899" (Woods). It includes, of course, his account of the charge of the 21st Lancers, to whom he was attached, at Omdurman on 2 September 1898, described by the Dictionary of National Biography as "that last cavalry charge of the dying century". DNB also considers The River War a "superb" history; whilst Churchill himself more graphically called it "a tale of blood and war".
