16 Black Flag Flyers
16 Black Flag Flyers
PETTIBON, Raymond and Black Flag
California, 1982. Unbound. Near Fine. Sixteen original flyers for the American punk rock band Black Flag, various sizes, in very good to near fine condition with some tape abrasions, slight creasing, and tiny chips from removed staples. Eleven of the flyers are confirmed as having artwork by Raymond Pettibon. Black Flag, widely regarded as one of the first hardcore punk bands, was formed in 1976 by its only continuous member, guitarist Greg Ginn. They were innovators of the West Coast punk sound and were influential in the counterculture of punk both in the U.S. and overseas. From 1981-1984 they were fronted by singer Henry Rollins, arguably their most notorious member. Raymond Pettibon, a highly collected American artist, is noted for his comic-like drawings, ink on paper, and his association with Black Flag and the mid-1970s to late 1980s punk scene. Pettibon, Ginn's younger brother, started as a bass player for the band. He suggested the band's name (changed from the original name, Panic, in late 1978) and also designed their logo of vertical bars, with which the band gained notoriety by spray painting it all around the Los Angeles area. Pettibon was also the unofficial artist for Ginn's record label, SST Records, which released influential recordings from other alternative bands such as the Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr. Details of the collection available upon request.

McCarthy, Cormac
- Publisher: Random House
New York: Random House, 1965. First edition of McCarthy's first book. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author in a contemporary hand on the front free endpaper, "To John Sheddan Cormac McCarthy." The recipient, John Sheddan was a close friend of McCarthy's. "Some of McCarthy's friends claim that the character Gene Harrogate (a character in McCarthy's novel, Suttree), or at least his watermelon venture, was based in some way on John Sheddan, "scholar, schemer, hustler, melon paramour" (Gibson 23)... However in a letter of response to Gibson's article, Knoxvillian Buzz Kelley writes that Sheddan was "probably McCarthy's best and most loyal friend from the Knoxville crowd," holder of two master's degrees, and not at all "a violator of vegetables nor one to fornicate with fruits" (Dianne C. Luce, Reading the World: Cormac McCarthy's Tennessee Period). Near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Muriel Nasser. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. An excellent association. The novels of Cormac McCarthy owe much to William Faulkner, especially in their "use of dialect and concrete sense of the world— a debt McCarthy does not dispute. ‘The ugly fact is books are made out of books,’ he says. ‘The novel depends for its life on the novels that have been written.' "Cormac McCarthy is expert in generating an emotional climate, in suggesting instead of in stating, in creating a long succession of brief, dramatic scenes described with flashing visual impact" (The New York Times).

Cook. 12mo, tooled and gilt-stamped leather with four hubs, engraved frontispiece of Dr. Johnson by Cook, frontis. & t.p. + [iii-iv] advert. + 284 pages. Very Rare! [Edited by Rev. Joseph Hamilton.] Handy edition of the redoubtable Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary with its marvellous definitions. Published in 1800 during the raging Napoleonic wars with France (see also the somewhat later inscription to a French ship's captain below). Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), or more commonly "Dr. Johnson" or "the Great Cham," was a brilliant English writer, devout Anglican and Tory, who made his reputation as a poet, essayist, moralist, literary critic, biographer, editor and most lastingly as a lexicographer. His Dictionary of the English Language is noteworthy for its extent, comprehensiveness, and use of pithy definitions. James Boswell, of course, memorialized the life and sayings of the great doctor. So uncommon, it has NOT been identified by Courtney & Smith, Johnson Bibliography with Supplement, e.g., pp.57-59. The eighth edition of A Dictionary of the English Language appeared in 1799; the ninth edition in 1805. The upper cap of the spine is missing and the volume is rubbed with wear evident along the hinges and corners, but the sewing is strong and the pages are clean with minimal toning. Minor brown offset from the fine engraved frontispiece of Dr. Johnson onto the title page. Bookstamp of bookseller "E. Desbois, Bordeaux"; marbled endpapers.

- Publisher: Crown Publishers, New York
- Format: Hardcover
Signed limited edition of President George W. Bush's "loving testimonial" to the life and legacy of his father, President George H.W. Bush. Octavo, original cloth, with 26 pages of color and black-and-white illustrations including two color frontispiece portraits. Signed by both George Bush and additionally signed by George H.W. Bush. Fine in a fine slipcase. Rare signed by both Presidents. Forty-five men have served as President of the United States. Countless books have been written about them. But never before has a President told the story of his father, another President, through his own eyes and in his own words. A unique and intimate biography, the book covers the entire scope of the elder President Bush's life and career, including his service in the Pacific during World War II, his pioneering work in the Texas oil business, and his political rise as a Congressman, U.S. Representative to China and the United Nations, CIA Director, Vice President, and President. The book shines new light on both the accomplished statesman and the warm, decent man known best by his family. In addition, George W. Bush discusses his father's influence on him throughout his own life, from his childhood in West Texas to his early campaign trips with his father, and from his decision to go into politics to his own two-term Presidency.

- Publisher: Chapman & Hall
London: Chapman & Hall, MDCCCXLIII (1843); London: Bradbury & Evans, 1846; London: Bradbury & Evans, MDCCCXLVI (1846); London: Chapman & Hall, MDCCCXLV (1845); London: Bradbury & Evans, 1848. 5 vols., 8vo, illustrated with engravings see below for the discussion of states and pagination. All volumes in full dark green morocco extra, covers with gilt holly sprigs at corners, backstrips faded to rich brown, lettered and stamped in gilt, all edges gilt, each book with its original cloth covers bound in at the end. In uniformly very good condition with just a hint of rubbing to the bindings. Each volume with the bookplate of the famous minister Henry Sloane Coffin, by descent to a private collector in San Francisco. A lovely set perfect for reading or handling without fear of damage. § First editions of all five of Dickensâ??s Christmas books. With engravings by D. Maclise, R. Doyle, C. Stanfield, J. Leech, J. Tenniel, and F. Stone, Thompson, G. Dalziel, E. Dalziel, T. Williams, Swain, and Groves. A Christmas Carol is the high point and the crucial component in any set of Dickensâ??s Christmas Books. Dickens kept its production on a short leash and anecdotes abound about his pleasure or displeasure with the differently colored endpapers, the color of the cloth for the binding, the typography and so forth. Oddly enough, despite Dickensâ?? personal attention to this edition, it is not a particularly well-made title. Coupled with the legions of fans who often read their copies â??to death,â? it comes as no surprise that original and well-preserved copies of this book, in its correct state, seldom appear on the market. The Chimes, written in Genoa, Italy, was commercially more successful than A Christmas Carol and Dickens worked hard to make this second Christmas book a worthy successor. The Cricket... grew from the idea to begin a weekly periodical which would have been called â??The Cricket,â? though was abandoned quickly for a more important venture and the founding of The Daily News. The Cricket was wildly successful, doubling in circulation of both its predecessors. Dickens wrote The Battle of Life during a period of recuperation needed after illness attributed to overworking; despite being seriously indisposed he managed to complete the work, while working on Dombey and Son, though it was not as successful as his other Christmas books thus far. The Haunted Man... was the last of the Christmas books, and despite requiring a final rally from the author to avoid disappointing the public, the book is considered the least interesting and lowest grossing of the Christmas books; the issue of 20,000 had not completely sold when the author died. All books are in their most desirable states, as follows:A Christmas Carol...: [i-viii], [1]-166, [2, ads] pp. First edition, first issue. Green endpapers; â??Stave Iâ? on pp. 1; uncorrected text throughout; red-and-blue printed title page, with four color etchings and four woodcuts, full-page color etchings. The Chimes...: [i-viii], [1]-175, [1, imprint; 1, advert.] pp. First edition, first issue. The name of the publishers is a part of the the vignette title page as per the first issue. 11 woodcuts in text and steel engraved frontis and titlepage.The Cricket on the Hearth...: [i-viii], [1]-174, [lacks 2pp. ads] pp. First edition, first issue. With steel engraved frontis and titlepage, and 12 woodcuts in text. The Battle of Life...: [i-viii], [1-3], 4-175, [3, imprint and ads]. First edition, second of four states of the engraved title. Terminal ads announce the publication in parts of Dombey and Son, and the bound volume of Oliver Twist. In addition to the engraved frontis and titlepage there are 11 woodcuts in the text. The Haunted Man and the Ghosts Bargain...: [i-viii], [1]-188 pp., with engraved frontis and title page, and 15 woodcuts in the text. Smith II 4, 5, 6, 8, 9. Eckel 116-134. See

A previously unknown and unpublished 1925 autograph letter from T. E. Lawrence referencing his work on the subscriber's edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom and motorcycle riding at Cranwell, accompanied by copy #50 of the publisher's 1935 quarter
T. E. Lawrence, Richard Knowles, and Marc Kuritz
- Publisher: Jonathan Cape Ltd., Rickaro Books, and Churchill Book Collector 1925, 1935 & 2019, London, Horbury & San Diego
- Format: Hardcover
This previously unrecorded 1925 autograph letter by T. E. Lawrence is accompanied by copy "50" of the 1935 British limited issue of Seven Pillars of Wisdom in which the letter was discovered, and the specially-bound copy "Number One" of the 2019 book about this letter. Lawrence wrote this letter while posted to the Royal Air Force (RAF) Cadet College at Cranwell, where he completed the famous 1926 "SubscriberÂ?s" or "Cranwell" edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. This letter consists of 164 words in 22 lines on the blank verso of an RAF "Application for Mechanical Transport." Four lines at the upper right read: "All this is my present name & | address. IÂ?m one of the CadetsÂ? | slaves: not a cadet: God be | praised. Life is v. good, up here." The body of the letter reads: "Dear Goslett | A bit slow in the reply: but better than last time, | I think. What? | Lowell Thomas? Curses on L.T. What? | Your bet with Makins will have to be declared "off". They | sent me up here, to a fresh station, where I | have no leisure after the dayÂ?s work. So | my proofs only receive treatment on half-days | and Sundays: and then usually only if it | rains: for I love the road: and my bike. | Consequently the book will not be ready till the | new year: | You and Makins each get a copy of the complete | (but un-illustrated) text. Remember me to him. | Tell him Darracqs are slow (compared with my | Brough). Yet IÂ?ll accept one of the three Brooklands | T.D.Â?s, if he will offer me one. It would do | for a run-about, when I felt lazy & peaceful." The letter is definitively in LawrenceÂ?s hand, though both the upper right, ostensibly bearing a date, and the signature at the lower right, have been excised. A plausible explanation is the considerable monetary value of LawrenceÂ?s signature Â? even as early as the late 1920s. "Goslett" is Captain Raymond Goslett M.C. (1885-1961), "the supply wizard of Al Wajh and Al Aqabah," a key figure in the Arab Revolt and wartime friend of Lawrence who inadvertently played a role in facilitating his fame. "Makins" is Arthur Dayer Makins, D.F.C., R.R.G.S., F.I.M.T. (1888-1974), a Royal Flying Corps flight lieutenant with X Flight in Arabia who after the war was associated with the motor trade. Lawrence cited both men in his acknowledgements for the 1926 subscriberÂ?s edition of Seven Pillars and each was gifted a copy. A remarkable First World War odyssey as instigator, organizer, hero, and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire transformed Thomas Edward Lawrence (1888-1935) from an eccentric junior intelligence officer into "Lawrence of Arabia". This indelible experience and celebrity, which he spent the rest of his short life struggling to reconcile and reject, to recount and repress, became Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The short letter is compelling. Lawrence references many of the disparate, competing threads that skeined his life Â? complicated feelings about fame, attempted retreat to the comparative anonymity of the RAF, personal conflict about publication of his literary masterpiece, the famous 1926 subscriberÂ?s edition, love of motorcycles, the sensibility for comradeship that made him, however reluctantly, a leader of men, and even a glimpse of the personal peace he always seemed to want but seldom seemed to find. A Fresh Station publishes an essay sketching LawrenceÂ?s life writing and riding at Cranwell specifically through the prism of this letter. Of 150 numbered copies, "Number One", so numbered and also signed by the authors, now houses and accompanies this letter. Alone among the 150 copies, "One" is bound by the Fine Book Bindery in blue-grey morocco (evoking the RAF) and housed in a custom cloth solander. Copy "50" of the limited 1935 UK issue of Seven Pillars, in which this letter was found, was published on 29 July, following LawrenceÂ?s 19 May death from a motorcycle accident. This was the first time that LawrenceÂ?s 1926 subscriber's text was available for sale to the general public. First, limited, numbered, and finely bound editions.

SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM
SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM
Lawrence T. E
- Publisher: Doubleday, Doran and Company
Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran and Company, 1935. First Trade and First Published Edition for general circulation, the American issue by Doubleday from the English setting. Illustrated as the English issue, with the 48 full page illustrations reproduced from the privately printed edition in black and white. Thick, royal 8vo, publisherâ??s original polished gray/brown buckram lettered and decorated in gilt, upper cover with crossed swords motif in gilt. IN THE ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET, illustrated with pencil sketch style portrait of Lawrence and lettered in red and black, the back cover blank as in earliest states. 672 pp. The book is a fine copy, the jacket very handsome and especially well preserved with only slight edgewear or evidence of age. SCARCE FIRST EDITION IN DUST-JACKET OF ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST PERSONAL MILITARY BIOGRAPHIES OF THE CENTURY. Lawrence, in relating the history of his involvement in the Arab revolt against Ottoman rule during the First World War, produced a true literary classic. Winston Churchill said of the book, "[It] ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language." Its fame was further secured by Hollywood: "Lawrence of Arabia," starring Peter O'Toole, was based upon the book. This is a splendid, handsome copy of an enduring masterpiece. A personal narrative of the revolt of Arab armies against the Turks during the First World War, SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM stands as a monument of modern literature and history. Bernard Shaw described the book as one of the greatest of our time. Any earlier printing of SEVEN PILLARS was done either for private distribution, or printed in a very small limitation primarily for copyright purposes. Any of these issues is now very scarce. This is the first edition that was printed for general circulation.

THE PERPETUAL ORGY: FLAUBERT AND MADAME BOVARY
THE PERPETUAL ORGY: FLAUBERT AND MADAME BOVARY
Vargas Llosa, Mario (Translated by Helen Lane)
- Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux
- ISBN: 9780374230777
New York City, NY: Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1986. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1986. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 240 pages. Book-length account on subject. One of Mario Vargas Llosa's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Mario Vargas Llosa's "La Orgia perpetua" in a felicitous English translation. The culmination of the author's lifelong obsession with Flaubert and his masterpiece. "Deals with the story the novel tells and the sources it uses, the way in which it transforms itself into time and language. Examines the 'added element' Flaubert joined to his perceptions of reality: His humanizing of objects, obsession with pairs, and manipulation of fictional time and narrative. Finally, focussing on such issues as the anti-hero and interior monologue, the author discusses the place of 'Madame Bovary' in the development of the modern novel" (Richard Kuczkowski) . Mario Vargas Llosa is the writer/intellectual/philosopher par excellence among the Latin-American geniuses of the so-called Boom: He refuses to be categorized, labeled, and reduced by ideology, whether it is Fascist conservatism, political correctness, or Leftist academicism, what he has condemned as "authoritarianism of the Left and the Right". He considers himself an heir to the great European cultural tradition yet his work is firmly grounded in Latin America's (not just his native Peru's) history and mythology. His aesthetics and literary practice - Vargas Llosa has embraced and appropriated every literary genre - prompted Roberto Bolano, his greatest successor, to consider him an inescapable influence, among a handful of others, on contemporary Latin-American literature. That is to say, to be a Latin-American writer is to become a Classical master of language and a Modernist artist, writing in language of the highest quality and reinventing literary form and convention at the same time. Literary genres are inventions of a particular culture's idea of imagination and storytelling, "templates" that Vargas Llosa transforms into "poetic tales" (in Harold Bloom's brilliant phrase) . An absolute "must-have" title for Mario Vargas Llosa collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Mario Vargas Llosa. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws yet are priced as though they had collectible value. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Cervantes Prize, awarded to the greatest living writers in Spanish by the Spanish Government, in 1994. Winner of the Jerusalem Prize in 1995. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARIO VARGAS LLOSA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0374230773.

- Publisher: Saxon & Co.
London: Saxon & Co., 1886. Octavo, pp. [i-ix] x-xxiii [xxiv] [1] 2-421 [422: tailpiece] [423: ad] [424: blank], original blue bevel-edged cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold, top edge untrimmed, floral patterned endpapers. First printing of this edition. Probably the first edition in English, a different English translation was published in Paris by Vizetelly in the same year. This edition has a fifteen-page historical and critical introduction by Edward King. An exotic novel set in ancient Carthage, originally published in French in 1862. "... the action of this book, a product of vivid and imaginative writing, is colorfully romantic," but the historical detail was the result of painstaking research. "Before writing it, Flaubert made a voyage to Tunisia, thus carrying out his artistic theories of precise and accurate documentation literally." - Benet, Reader's Encyclopedia (1965), p. 891. A major work by Flaubert, not far behind MADAME BOVARY (1857). Spine ends and corner tips lightly worn, a very good or better copy with fine interior. (#161519)

NARRATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES EXPLORING EXPEDITION. DURING THE YEARS 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842
Wilkes, Charles
- Publisher: Printed by C. Sherman
Philadelphia: Printed by C. Sherman, 1845. Philadelphia: Lea & Blanchard, 1845 (last two volumes). Five text volumes, with the five folding maps (two colored) called for in the atlas volume bound into the fourth text volume. Engraved portraits, plates, and maps, with original tissue guards intact. Thick quarto. Contemporary green morocco stamped in gilt, expertly rebacked with original backstrips preserved (except second volume, which is rebacked in matching style), spines in six compartments, richly gilt, gilt inner dentelles, a.e.g. Slight offsetting on the large folding maps, several neatly repaired along folds. A very good set. One of the great rarities of Pacific voyages, here in a mixed set of the true first edition and the first quarto edition of the narrative of the first great scientific expedition sponsored by the government of the United States. The first three volumes of the present set consist of the special Sherman edition of 100 copies, which is the true first edition and was issued for private distribution. The final two volumes are of the Lea and Blanchard printing, which was limited to 150 copies and was preceded only by the Sherman edition. The Lea and Blanchard edition is on the same format as the Sherman edition, and differs only in the preliminary material. The United States Exploring Expedition circumnavigated the globe under the command of Charles Wilkes between the summer of 1838 and the summer of 1842 (for a detailed account of the voyage, see the sources cited below). In July 1842, almost immediately upon his return, Wilkes began work on the narrative, drawing on all of the data and logs assembled by the members of the expedition. This took two years, but by August 1844 the first volume was in the press, and the whole set was ready for binding by the end of the year. The first "Sherman edition," in large quarto format, consisted of only 100 copies for the use of the government, and is easily distinguished by the Sherman imprint of 1844. The "Lea and Blanchard" quarto edition soon followed, and was probably off the presses before the end of 1844 (even though the volumes carry an imprint dated 1845). In fact, the verso of the titlepage of the two Lea and Blanchard volumes notes that the text was in fact printed by Sherman. Both the Sherman and the Lea and Blanchard editions present the text in five volumes, accompanied by an atlas volume of five maps. Those maps are here bound into the front of the fourth text volume. Of the 100 copies printed of the Sherman edition, twenty- five were later destroyed in the Lea and Blanchard fire, sixty-three copies were distributed to foreign governments and federal or state libraries in the United States, and only three were distributed to private individuals. Haskell, in preparing his bibliography of the publications of the expedition, was able to locate over thirty sets in libraries in the United States, but the Sherman edition virtually never appears on the market. The only sets we know of on the market in recent years are one from the Carlsmith collection, acquired from Howell, sold in 1985, and now in an Australian library, and two other sets sold by us in the past ten years. Of the 150 copies printed of the Lea and Blanchard edition, twenty-five were reserved for private distribution by Wilkes, and the remaining copies were offered for sale to individuals at sixty dollars per set. Haskell was able to locate only seven sets in libraries in the United States. A prime opportunity to obtain a set consisting of the two rarest printings of the most important American naval expedition of the 19th century. HASKELL, UNITED STATES EXPLORING EXPEDITION 1, 2A, 17A.

Plan of the City of Washington, Andrew EllicottÂ?s 1792 Revision of the LÂ?Enfant Plan of 1791.
ELLICOTT, Andrew (1754 Â? 1820).
- Publisher: Engraved by J. Thackara & J. Vallance: Philidelphia, 1792.
Single sheet; full margins with the plate mark (12 ¼ x 15 ¼ inches sheet; 22 x 25 inches framed) (General age tone, light staining in margin). FIRST PRINTED EDITION OF L�ENFANT PLAN This excellent rare map portrays the final version of Pierre Charles L�Enfant�s plan of the City of Washington; and it is one of the EARLIEST printed maps of Washington D.C. It is now known as the official city plan. Andrew Ellicott was an U.S. surveyor who helped map many of the territories west of the Appalachians; surveyed the boundaries of the District of Columbia; and continued and completed Pierre L�Enfant�s work on the plan on Washington DC. He also served as a teacher in survey methods to Meriwether Lewis. Ellicott was born into a small Quaker family in rural Pennsylvania. When the Revolutionary War broke out, he enlisted as a commissioned officer in the Elk Ridge Battalion of the Maryland militia despite his Quaker upbringing. During the course of the war, he rose to the rank of major, a title he would keep as an honorific throughout his life. After the war, Ellicott returned home until he was appointed, in 1784, a member of the survey group tasked with extending the survey of the Mason-Dixon line that had been abandoned in 1767 and then been stalled during the war. In this survey, he worked alongside David Rittenhouse and James Madison, making first connections with the scientific society of Philadelphia. When he was well into his career around 1791�92, Ellicott also surveyed the future city of Washington, which was located within a relatively small area at the center of the Territory of Columbia. Ellicott also served under the Commissioners' supervision in this effort. He first worked with Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who had prepared the initial plans for the capital city during the early months of 1791 and had presented one of these early plans to President Washington in August of that year. During a particularly contentious period in February 1792, Ellicott informed the Commissioners that L'Enfant had not been able to have the city plan engraved and had refused to provide him with an original plan that L'Enfant was then holding. Ellicott, with the aid of his brother, Benjamin Ellicott, then revised the plan, despite L'Enfant's protests. Ellicott's revisions realigned and straightened Massachusetts Avenue, eliminated five short radial avenues and added two others, removed several plazas and straightened the borders of the future Judiciary Square. Shortly thereafter, Washington dismissed L'Enfant. Ellicott gave the first version of his own plan to James Thackara and John Valance of Philadelphia, who engraved, printed and published it. This version, printed in March 1792, was the first Washington city plan that received wide circulation. After L'Enfant departed, Ellicott continued the city survey in accordance with his revised plan, several larger and more detailed versions of which were also engraved, published and distributed. As a result, Ellicott's revisions became the basis for the capital city's future development.

LOUIS XV ET MARIE LECZINSKA
LOUIS XV ET MARIE LECZINSKA
(BINDINGS - DURVAND). NOLHAC, PIERRE DE
- Publisher: Goupil et Cie
Paris: Goupil et Cie, 1900. No. 97 of 1,000 copies. 326 x 246 mm. (12 7/8 x 9 3/4"). 4 p.l., 189 pp., [1] leaf. No. 97 of 1,000 copies. FINE RED MOROCCO, ELEGANTLY GILT, BY DURVAND (signed at foot of frame on covers), boards with ornate gilt Rococo frame enclosing central arms of Louis XV and Marie Leczinska, raised bands, spine gilt in compartments with either titling or central fleur-de-lys within a lozenge of small tools and corner volutes, turn-ins with leafy gilt roll, marbled endpapers and flyleaves, top edge gilt. Original paper wrappers bound in. With engraved head- and tailpieces and 41 engraved plates, as called for, all with original lettered tissue guards. Foot of upper joint just beginning to crack, some noticeable wear to edges, with the leather at three corners worn through (though the appearance improved with refurbishing); the elaborately gilt binding still lustrous and generally pleasing, and entirely clean, fresh, and bright internally. This binding by one of the great Parisian ateliers is encrusted with elaborate gilt and emblazoned with the coat of arms of Louis XV and Marie Leczinska, queen consort of France for 42 years--the longest tenure of any queen of that nation. The couple married when Marie was 22 and Louis only 15 years old, and by all accounts, their early relationship was quite happy. Whereas Louis would go on to engage in numerous affairs (including with the notorious Madame de Pompadour and the Mailly sisters), Marie (1703-68) was known for her deep sense of piety and royal duty. Although she never gained any real political influence, as a model of Christian generosity and modesty, she won respect at court as well as popularity among the people. Historian Pierre de Nolhac (1859-1936) led the efforts to restore the Palace of Versailles to its former glory and open it as a museum. He was an author of a number of works on the ancien regime, focusing especially on the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI. Our binder Durvand (1852-1924) operated one of the finest workshops in turn-of-the-century Paris, and trained a number of talented artisans. In 1900 he was awarded a silver medal for his bindings at the Universal Exhibition, and, according to Flety, he was devoted to improving the craft of binding right up to his death.
