        [Jugendstil Classic] Bilderbucher Band Tiere

      Koln: H. & F. Schaffstein, [1906]. Second edition. Oblong quarto. Original color pictorial paper covered boards, beautifully patterned endsheets in color. The classic Jugendstil book, marvelously illustrated by the great Freyhold, with twelve full-page color pictures. "Freyhold's picture books are marvels in the early development of the picture book of the 20th century" (Klaus Doderer). -The pictures, "freyholding in their unspeakably immovable untouchedness and childhood" (ER White 1902 to Richard Dehmel) show us the animals of the rural environment (cows, sheep, pigs, pigeons); only the last illustration with parrots puts the viewer into an exotic mood. The watercolor paints were applied using stencils. "These books found no mercy before the great crowd. But the children were extremely fond of these books, unfortunately they were not made accessible to them by their parents "(Julius Schaffstein, quoted from cat. Cologne). In 1905 the publishing house opened the series with this title, but great expectations remained unfulfilled: "The books were not a commercial success, despite their extraordinary artistic design" (Roland Stark, Schaffstein Verlag, page 66). A very nice copy, corners slightly worn, near fine, one plate repaired at very end.

Rossetti (1830-1894) is known for her melancholy love poems, originally drafted in Italian. Her early verses for her mother, written between the ages of twelve and sixteen, were printed privately at her grandfather Gaetano Polidori's press, and are here beautifully reprinted from Polidori's 1847 edition of Verses. Lucien Pissarro and his wife Esther founded the Eragny press in 1894, inspired by the arts and crafts movement and the work of William Morris of the Kelmscott Press. "Lucien Pissarro brought foriegn and unfamiliar sensibilities to his books. The distinctive use of color wood engavings which explore the Impressionist sensation endow Eragny books with a vital character unlike any other revivalist private press" (A History of the Eragny Press 1894-1914, p. 12)." ***DESCRIPTION: Contemporary red morocco with gilt floral medallion stamped on the upper board, gilt lettering to the backstrip, top-edge gilt, fore-edge and tail-edge uncut, gilt dentelles, marbled endpapers, woodcut title-vignette and initials, illustrated title printed in black and orange, Brook type, Arches paper, 8 1/2" x 5 1/4", (i)-v, (1)-75, (1 colophon), (1 errata), limited edition of 175. ***CONDITION: A near fine copy, sumptuous red morocco completely unscathed, leaves are very bright except for faint age-toning to the outer page margins, ex-library copy with minimal evidence thus, with Bancroft Library bookplate inlaid to recto of the title-page, otherwise a beautiful copy, near fine. ***CITATION: Genz, EP27. ***POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ***Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

        Moon-Face and Other Stories

      New York: The Macmillan Company, 1906. 8vo. 273, [4] pp. ads at end. Original blue decorated cloth with designer's initial's "RR," top edges gilt. Slightly cocked, light wear at extremities. FIRST EDITION. Idah Meacham Strobridge's copy, signed by her in Los Angeles, 1907 on front free endpaper. Strobridge (1855-1932) was a native-born California writer and bookbinder, best known for her trio of novels about the Great Basin. Her bindery, Artemesia Bindery, at 231 East Avenue 41 also held her "Little Corner" gallery, and was a popular meeting place for writers, artists and craftsmen. London considered himself close to Strobridge. In a 1902 letter to Lurline Lyons, he wrote: "Oh, by the way, look up Mrs. Idah Meacham Strobridge. Tell her I sent you and she will make you very welcome. She is out in the 'Lummis Colony,' and lives in a famous house, or rather, in a house she has made famous by her own personality (Letters, vol. 3, p. 296). WITH A PAGE FROM A TYPED LETTER SIGNED BY LONDON TIPPED IN on the half-title: a quarto page of a typed letter (lacking earlier portion of letter): "... But I am learning, slowly. The great difficulty is to get the proper co-ordination of the various parts so essential to good photography... Of course I like beautiful things, but as you hint, I am too busy to be able to spend much time upon them ----as a creator or even as a collector ... the aesthetic should simply be ... one of the many things for the raising of the human." It ends poignantly: "O that the days were forty-eight hours! Then might I paint, or play, or bind beautiful books, or collect, or do the thousand and one beautiful things, but alas!" London adds in autograph: "Only a little while and I am not. Jack London." BAL 111895; Sisson & Martens 23.

        LIBERIA. With an Appendix on the Flora of Liberia by Dr. Otto Stapf

      London: Hutchinson & Co., 1906. 2 volumes. First edition. Complete with 28 colored illustrations by Sir Harry Johnston, 24 botanical drawings by Miss Matilda Smith, 402 black & white illustrations from the author's drawings and from photographs by the author and others, and 22 maps, 4 folding. Thick, tall 8vo, publisher's original dark plum cloth lettered in gilt on spines with gilt emblematic tooling on upper covers, beautifully illustrated endpapers, t.e.g. xxviii,520;xvi,1160,index. An unusually nice set, scarce in such pleasing condition, textblocks very clean, bright and tight, all maps in good order.. Very well preserved indeed. RARE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE CORNERSTONES OF WEST AFRICAN TRAVEL LITERATURE. Johnston produced here an exquisite set of books. He was early on an explorer and traveller to the Liberian state and these volumes are typical of the very best produced for writings in travel and exploration of the period. They are among the earliest books written on the new Liberia and present original and comprehensive studies of the landscape, peoples, flora and fauna of the region as well as its political history. Johnston began his travels in Africa at the age of 21 with his 1879-1880 journey to the interior of Tunisa as a student of painting, architecture, and languages. This trip sparked the passion for travel and exploration in the wilds of the African continent that he would spend the next several decades fulfilling. His journeys and his leadership potential were first brought to the attention of the Royal Geographical Society and the British Association in 1883 when he met H.M. Stanley and traveled with him to the remote river above the Stanley Pool in the Congo, a virgin territory little known to other Europeans at that time. From there his travels and responsibilities expanded rapidly; he was commissioned to lead a scientific expedition to to Mount Kilmanjaro beginning in Zanzibar in 1884, the success of which led to his apopintment as British vice-consul and eventually acting consul in Cameroon and the Niger Delta. He held a number of government positions through the next 20 years, perhaps best known for his "Cape-to-Cairo" scheme, a phrase coined in the London Times in August of 1888. The plan entailed having British influence in an unbroken line from Alexandria to Cape Town, but was foiled in July of 1890 when the British were forced to give up their sphere of influence north of Lake Tanganyika to the Germans. His later days were spent organizing British administration in Uganda and Liberia as well as writing about his life experiences in Africa. This set of books arose out of his extensive experience with negotiations in the Liberian republic, a state of 43,000 square miles created in the Western forests of the African continent, and his culminating efforts to organize its administration, finances, and methods of interior development.

        John Dorn Promoter

      Chicago: Monarch Book Co., 1906. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. Illustrations by August Abelmann. Original brick-red publisher's cloth, blocked in gilt, ochre, and black. A sparkling copy. A thrilling romance of the timber industry, featuring a swindling Count, a heroic Indian Chief, a Rabbi, weird "thought-elfs," and telepathy. Is this the start of a bad joke? It only gets better. The author is clearly concerned with renewable forestry, the perilous state of Native American Indians and their lands, the absence of business opportunities for women, and the plight of American Jews during the first decade of the 20th-century. And of course, this couldn't be a "real" romance without sexual tensions, and a subplot of good vs. evil. The novel commences in the South after the Civil War when a young man returns home to find nothing left, and no one remaining. The once grand Virginia estate is in shambles and the tobacco fields are overgrown; the young man stares at the ruins, turns, and says farewell. The young man goes to Yale, gets married, and decides to return and fix up the estate; the scheme fails of course (how could it be otherwise). The couple and their daughter, Helen Chadbourne, move north to Chicago. Although adept at business, Helen finds few opportunities for women and wants to dedicate her life to helping others. However, she does find the love of of two men: John Dorn and Ned Danvers, and she inspires each of them to have chthonic spiritual experiences (sic). Helen's uncle is negotiating for the lumber rights to Indian lands on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Helen identifies with Chief Eagle Wing's plight of wanting to aid his impoverished tribe, while not wanting to destroy their land. Her uncle believes only clear-cutting timber will be financially viable; Helen convinces Dorn and Danvers not only to aid the Indian tribe with money, but ensure that they will still be able to live in a forest. Dorn comes up with a plan to create the Lumber Securities Company, a syndicate of the leaders of the timber industry, who would agree to a renewable forestry plan. Helen inspires Dorn to help impoverished Jewish immigrants by creating a lending library and a savings bank. She then inspires Danvers to become a writer, and through the aid of Chief Eagle Wing, Danvers is able to reveal his deepest thoughts to Helen telepathically (sic!). But there are evil forces at work in Chicago that seek to destroy the Lumber Securities Company through stock manipulation. At a crucial moment, the two spiritual adepts Eagle Wing and his side-kick Rabbi, whom Helen has aided, combine forces to defeat evil men. "The forces of spiritual enlightenment win, Danvers writes a play with a spiritual theme that is a great success, Dorn wins Helen for his bride, and everyone involved with the Lumber Securities Company stands to make a fortune" (SOURCE: James A. Kaser, The Chicago of Fiction: A Resource Guide, no. 86 and pp. 30-31). Our copy is many times more expensive than the two shabby copies we've seen on the market, and we invite interested parties to buy them, but be assured that the present one is in "museum quality" condition, and is likely to be the finest in private ownership.

        The Voyage of the "Scotia".

      Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons,, 1906. Being a Record of a Voyage of Exploration in Antarctic Seas. By Three of the Staff. Octavo. Original grey cloth spine and front board lettered and illustrated in black and white, top edge gilt, purple coated endpapers (Rosove's binding variant b, "less common" than the blue endpapers usually encountered). Photographic frontispiece, 58 similar plates, 3 maps, one full-page, 2 folding and coloured (one of these to the rear). Extremities lightly rubbed, and the spine as usual (Rosove: "The white lettering on the spine has stood the test of time poorly and is variably lost on virtually all copies"), light wear to head of front joint, occasional spotting to text-block, the folding map to rear somewhat foxed, two short closed tears to gutter, sometime partially tape-repaired verso, some resultant browning recto, one shallow chip along top edge. A very good copy. First edition. Presentation copy, inscribed by the expedition leader, "George Esslemont Esq., M.P., with compliments from Wm. S. Bruce, Edin., 1910", on the half-title. The recipient was Liberal MP for Aberdeen South from 1907 to 1917. Bruce (1867-1921), despite being one of the most experienced polar scientists in Britain, was offered only a junior post on Scott's Discovery expedition, so decided to organise his own voyage. "With the blessing of the Scottish Geographical Society, Bruce raised funds for the Scottish national Antarctic expedition in the well-equipped Scotia (19024). The entire crew and scientists were virtually all Scottish, and the funds came from Scottish subscribers  Two summers were spent in biological and oceanographical work in the Weddell Sea and the south Atlantic. New coastline was discovered and named Coats Land, and the intervening winter was spent in Scotia Bay and on Laurie Island, South Orkneys, where an observatory, Omond House, was built, which remains as the oldest of all scientific observatories in Antarctica. This highly successful expedition returned to Scotland with large scientific collections which formed the basis of the Scottish Oceanographical Institute, founded by Bruce in Edinburgh in 1907" (ODNB). Bruce maintained that the voyage was a purely scientific enterprise and left the writing of a popular account to three of his colleagues, which one of them, Brown, later reflected deprived him of full recognition for his achievements.

        Kak ja spassja ot vernago razorenija v igornom vertepe v Monte-Karlo . . . [transliterated from the Cyrillic; translates into English as, How I saved myself from certain ruin in the gambling den of Monte Carlo].

      Vilnius [but printed in St. Petersburg]: n. p., [ca. 1906]. First edition.. Wrappers a bit rubbed and browned; faint residue of a small decal on the inside rear wrapper; a very good copy.. 8vo, original pictorial drab wrappers, 23 pages. 7 plates (including one printed in red and black, and a double plate showing a view of the casino floor with the house spies marked), illus. A detailed firsthand exposure of (as the subtitle would have it) the supposed ìschemes of croupiers and spies in the casinos of Monte Carlo,î Astromís description of an elaborate conspiracy on the part of the casino to cheat its clientele, in part through an elaborate system of surveillance. Includes an illustration in the text of Astromís casino pass, dated 14 11 05, which in part suggests the publication date. A search of the standard catalogues turns up only a copy the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich (catalouged as ca. 1902) and a record in the catalogue at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin with the note ìKriegsverlust mˆglichî (ìwar loss possibleî) suggesting their copy is unlocated; a 32-page German edition published under the title Wodurch ich gerettet wurde vom sicheren Ruin in der Spielhˆlle von Monte Carlo (catalogued as ca. 1906) is noted at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin only. Several of the illustrations appear to have been done by the Dresden postcard publisher F. S. Jahn. Attractive red ink private library device stamped on the verso of the title page and at the foot of the final page; small faint ink number stamped at the head of the front wrapper.

        Yeats, Elizabeth Corbet- ALS with Scarce Dun Emer Title] A Book of Saints and Wonders Put Down Here by Lady Gregory According to the Old Writings and the Memory of the People of Ireland

      The Dun Emer Press, Dundrum 1906 - Original holland backed gray paper covered boardds, label on spine, printed in red. With wonderful autograph letter signed by Elizabeth Corbet Yeats laid in to the recipient, a publisher or close associate, and mentioning Emery Walker, co-founder of the Doves Press: "63 Longready Road, Earl Court, London. July 27, 1905. Dear Sir- Your letter and cheque has been forwarded to me here- I am of course very sorry that you do not wish for more than two copies of each of my books in the future- I had a long talk with Emery Walker of the Doves Press yesterday and we went through the M.S. Lady Gregory's book, "Saints and Wonders" and he think it will make a very god book indeed. " etc. One of 200 copies printed upon paper made in Ireland, and published by Elizabeth Corbet Yeats at the Dun Emer Press, in the house of Evelyn Gleeson at Dundrum in the County of Dublin, Ireland. Text printed in black and red. One engraved illustration printed in red. A monumental copy, almost no signs of wear. Rarely seen thus. Interestingly, an old clipping laid in at end dated and annotated in an unknown hand, "Boston Herald, March 9-18," with the caption: "Lady Gregory's Son Killed in Air Duel. The Dun Emer Press (1902-1908) was an Irish private press founded in 1902 by Elizabeth Corbet Yeats (1868-1940) and her brother William Butler Yeats (1865-1939). Part of the Celtic Revival, the press was named after Emer, a legendary figure in Irish mythology. In 1908, after the press had produced eleven titles, the different elements of the Dun Emer studio separated completely and the Yeats sisters left Dundrum and Elizabeth established the Cuala Press at Churchtown, Dublin.
