catalogue one The Adirondacks, and Beyond

Catalogue One

Hastings-on-Hudson, NY It seemed ftting to open my frst catalogue as Riverrun’s new owner with material relating to the Adirondacks. That is where I began, and so starting there is a tribute to my origins. I cannot count the hours spent in its waters or on its , and though I have not lived there for a quarter century, the Adirondacks are still home. This catalogue opens with books, manuscripts, and photographs relating to this place and the Park named for it: the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous , greater in size than Yellowstone, the Everglades, Glacier and Grand Canyon National Parks combined.

The small selection of Americana that follows refects my early interests, but the whole of this catalogue embraces my work in the broad world of books, from literature to science, art to popular culture, antiquarian to contemporary.

What you fnd here, then, is Riverrun’s past, present and future. Founded in 1978, I now carry it forward.

Communication from the Governor, relative to the geological survey of the State. — State of New York. No. 200. In Assembly, February 20, 1838. Together two works in one volume, 8vo. The frst: 212 pp. The second: 384 pp. 15 plates and maps as detailed below. Modern calf antique, marbled boards. Some browning and spotting, as often.

“First report describes reconnaissance of east and west portions of the Adirondacks; second report chiefy flled with details of St. Lawrence and Essex counties, also many details about iron mines, with an account of his ascent of Mt. Marcy” (Mary Ellis, Index to publications of the New York state natural history survey and 1837-1902. Albany: N.Y. State Museum. Bulletin 66, 1903).

Comprising: I. EMMONS. “FIRST ANNUAL REPORT. Of the Second Geological District of the State of Hew York.” Pages [97]-153, including Appendix. In: William L. MARCY (1786-1857, Governor of New York 1833-1839). “COMMUNICATION from the Governor, relative to the geological survey of the state.” New York State. Legislature. Assembly Documents. No. 161. Albany, 11 February 1837. 8vo. 212 pages. Emmons’ paper is signed in print from “Williams College, February 1, 1837.” A 3-page appendix follows identifying two new geological species, found at Keene. Consists of reports by Dr. John Torrey, botanist; 3 Dr. James E. De Kay, zoologist; Dr. Lewis C. Beck, mineralogist; William W. Mather, Prof. E. Emmons, T. A. Conrad, and Lardner Vanuxem, geologists of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th districts respectively. Plum/Adirondack Bibliography 2985 (Emmons); Meisel II, p.611.

II. EMMONS. “Report of E. Emmons, Geologist of the 2d Geological District of the State of New-York.” Pages [185]-252, including Appendix. In: William L. MARCY. “COMMUNICATION from the Governor, relative to the Geological Survey of the State.” New York State. Legislature. Assembly Documents. No. 200. Albany, 20 February 1838. 8vo. 384 pages. Large folding table of mineral springs in New York state, illustrations in text. The cornerstone of Emmons’ fve Adirondack reports: including the frst time the Adirondacks are described with that name in print. The prints include the frst published illustration to contain the name “” in its title. Emmons’ paper is signed in print “Albany, Feb. 15, 1838.” Pages 240-250 contain the section “Visit to the Mountains of Essex,” which contains the frst use of the name “Adirondack” on page 242: “The cluster of mountains in the neighborhood of the Upper Hudson and Ausable rivers, I propose to call the Adirondack Group, a name by which a well known tribe of Indians once hunted here may be commemorated.” Page 240, describes the ascent of Marcy for the frst time: “During the month of August last, I visited the mountains of Essex with a view of determining the position and height of some of the most conspicuous elevations at the source of the Hudson… It is not my object to write an account of this tour; this has already been given to the public by Mr. Redfeld, of New-York, in the Journal of Science, and is a valuable document…”

Donaldson notes: “The frst white men to look down upon these splendors from the dome of the State, were a party of friends and assistants with Professor Emmons, who was engaged at the time in his geological survey. This frst ascent on the mountain took place on August 5, 1837. Those who made it were Professor Emmons and son, Edward Hall, W.C. Redfeld [see this catalogue, no. 3], Asa Torrey, Professor Storey of New York, and Professor Miller of Princeton, all geologists; Archibald McIntyre and David Henderson of the iron-works; and C.C. Ingham, artist” (Donaldson, p. 152). Ingham provides two signed illustrations to the accompanying atlas; a third is attributed to him by Barnhill and a fourth appears to be his based on Emmons’ description in the text (p.242). Ingham was one of the founders of the National Academy of Design; his sketches of the Adirondacks were also used by Headley in his Adirondack, or Life in the Woods (1849). Page 241: proposes naming the highest peak (“it was thought that a more appropriate name could not be conferred.” Also named at the time were McIntyre, McMartin (now ), Henderson, Seward and Dix (see Donaldson, p.153 note). Page 244, records height of Mount Marcy at 5,467 feet. Consists of a letter by James E. De Kay, zoologist; reports by Lewis C. Beck, mineralogist; T.A. Conrad, paleontologist; W.W. Mather, E. Emmons, L. Vanuxem, and James Hall, geologists

“New York State commissioned Ebenezer Emmons of Williams College to explore and survey the mountains of the Adirondack region to determine the extent of iron ore deposits. The land Emmons and his party explored was owned by Archibald McIntyre who later formed the Adirondack Iron and Steel Company. One of the artists invited by Emmons to participate in the survey was Charles Cromwell Ingham. Ingham painted the magnifcent Great Adirondack Pass, Painted on the Spot (Adirondack Museum collection, 66.114.1) which was reproduced as a lithograph in the New York State Geological Report for 1837 by Emmons and published by the New York State Legislature in 1838 and again in 1840… The New York State Geological Report for 1837 contains a total of ten lithographs and fve

5 maps. Because they were the frst published depictions of the high peaks area, they constitute a crucial record of the Adirondacks… Ebenezer Emmons was responsible for several views, and the plates were lithographed by the frm of John H. Buford in New York… These prints are also signifcant because they depict parts of the region not yet on the traditional tourist’s route” (Barnhill, p.12). Emmons’ complete report was published in part four of The Geology of New-York issued by the New York State Assembly in 1842 with additional lithographs drawn by John William Hill. Barnhill notes the rarity of early Adirondack views: “Most of the early prints of the Adirondacks, particularly the elegant and expensive portfolios of Wall and Milbert, were published for limited audiences. Although important as illustrations of previously undescribed portions of the Adirondacks, the lithographs accompanying the New York State Geological Survey were likewise seen by a relatively limited audience” (p.13).

According to Gloria Gilda Deák, documenting the copy in the I.N. Phelps Stokes collection at the New York Public Library, the work was originally commissioned to illustrate assembly document 200, and was then also issued separately bound in colored paper wrappers. Deák also notes that it is unclear whether the prints attributed to “E. Emmons” are the work of father or son, both of whom were in the exploring party. RLIN locates only four copies of the atlas when separately issued: American Antiquarian Society, Winterthur, University of Michigan, Yale. Buford’s career is chronicled in: David Tatham, “John Henry Buford, American Lithographer,” Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society 86 (April 1976), pp.47-73. See Georgia B.

Some intermittent foxing.

Amidst these ten papers by renowned meteorologist William Charles Redfeld (1789-1857) is his pioneering paper on the frst expedition to Mount Marcy in 1837. He was the frst to guess that Marcy was the highest of the Adirondack mountains, and therefore the tallest in New York State. Redfeld was not ofcially connected to the Natural History Survey, but had been invited by Ebenezer Emmons to participate in feld explorations. Redfeld’s account is far more detailed than Emmons’, providing observations on discoveries made on the journey. This is a cornerstone work in early Adirondack exploration, and though encountered somewhat frequently in the bound volume of the American Journal of Science and Arts, it is scarce in the ofprint issue. The remaining papers in the volume deal with Redfeld’s major contribution to meteorology: his observations of the directionality of winds in hurricanes. (400893) $1,800

4. MORGAN, Lewis H. League of the Ho-De’-No-Sau-Nee, or Iroquois. Rochester: Sage & Brother, 1851. First edition. 8vo. xviii, 477pp. Half-title. Large folding map, folding table and 22 lithographed plates (one folding), including frontispiece; additionally with 18 colored plates, being variant states of the lithographs, sometimes with plate numbers or headlines not present in the uncolored versions. Original black elaborately blind-tooled cloth, gilt-lettered and -decorated on spine. Folding map separated along fold of one section, skillfully rebacked preserving original spine panel, some occasional toning to plates.

8 A special copy, with the plates in two states. Plum quotes W.N. Fenton in American Anthropologist (Feb. 1957), stating that there were two printings [i.e. issues] of the frst edition, “one of which carried in a few cases colored plates of the illustrations made for Morgan’s reports to the New York State Board of Regents.” The present is of that deluxe issue, which necessated a diferent case binding to accomodate the extra thickness. Field writes: “It is indeed rare that taste and learning so well combine with the experience of a lifetime to favor the researches of a historian in examining the scanty records of the American Indians. In early youth Mr. Morgan was so familiarly associated with the Senecas, that he was adopted as a member of the tribe. Under such favorable circumstances, he was permitted to closely study their social organization, and the structure and principles of their ancient league. Year after year his materials grew, until his copious notes became volumes, and thus the production of the frst systematic treatise, regarding the internal structure of Indian society and government was made easy of accomplishment. The laws of descent among the Iroquois, frst claimed the author’s attention, and his treatise fully exhibits that marvelous and sagacious legislative restriction, by which tribal and national rank was always derived from the mother. Not the least valuable feature of his work, crowded as it is with original investigations and logical deductions, is the map of the territory belonging to, or once occupied by the Six Nations, in which all the localities of their numerous villages are shown, with the aboriginal names of the streams, lakes, valleys, and other geographical features. The Appendix, pp. 465 to 477, is entitled ‘Schedule explanatory of the Indian Map.’ It is a table giving the English names of the localities, streams, etc., on the map, and opposite thereto the Indian name, while a third column exhibits its signifcation. Nearly four hundred geographical names are thus rendered and translated.” Field 1091; Howes M-804 (“aa”); Plum/Adirondack Bibliography 241; Sabin 50666 (“the work of a writer more than ordinarily ftted for the task”).

Bufalo: Jewett, Thomas & Co., 1853. First edition. Small 8vo. 173 pp. Folding frontispiece map, 9 x 11¼ inches; frontispiece and 24 wood-engraved and lithographed plates. Original blind-decorated brown cloth, gilt-lettered on front cover and spine. Binding somewhat soiled, some occasional pale spotting, early unobtrusive pencil inscriptions.

Among the views are: Niagara River, , Fort Henry, Clayton, Ogdensburgh, Montreal. Tables of distance are given at the end, pp.164-174. Sabin 57368. (400830) $250

6. [BENEDICT, Farrand N.]. “The Wilds of Northern New York.” [New York]: Putnam’s Magazine, 1854. Extract from: Putnam’s Magazine, September 1854. 8pp., paged 263-270. In a modern board folder.

Donaldson and Plum attribute this article to Farrand N. Benedict, but the bibliography in the 1898 Forest, Fish, and Game Commission Report lists M.H. Merwin. “Alfred Donaldson in his A History of the Adirondacks called this essay ‘the frst published attempt at a brief but comprehensive review of the Adirondack territory for the general public.’ It puts forth an accurate, yet interesting, physical description of the region’s lakes, mountains, and valleys and their minerals, forests, and game. This stands in sharp contrast to other early Adirondack writings: the rather dry technical State Reports and the romantic travel narratives that added unwieldy ornamentation and language of the sublime to their descriptions of nature” (Sandra Weber, preface to the Purple Mountain Press reprint of the essay, 2001). Though the article is unsigned, contemporary scholars agree with Donaldson’s assertion that the author is Farrand Northrup Benedict, a professor of mathematics and civil engineering at the University of Vermont. Among his many visits to the Adirondacks was an 1839 trip up Mount Marcy that he undertook to verify its height. Benedict’s measurement of 5344.69 not only validated the calculation made by Ebenezer Emmons in 1837 but has proven to be amazingly precise—to within one foot. (400835) $75

7. Nelson’s Guide to Lake George and Lake Champlain. London: T. Nelson and Sons, 1866. 12mo. Lithographed map and 10 hand-colored lithographed plates. Original green blind-decorated cloth, gilt-lettered on spine. Some pale dampstaining to plates, binding lightly rubbed.

One of the plates is folding and depicts Lake Champlain. (400831) $250

10 8. [BUNTLINE, Ned]. — STREET, Alfred B. Wood and Waters or Summer in the Saranacs. Albany: Weed, Parsons and Company, 1870. First edition. 8vo. Frontispiece and one plate by Avery after William Hart; folding map. Original red cloth, gilt-lettered on spine, gilt head of a deer on front cover. Provenance: Anna Fuller (gift inscription from Ned Buntline); Alford B. Tunis (bookplate); R.E. Sylvester (bookplate). Binding somewhat worn at extremities, soiled, identifcation of Buntline in ink beneath his inscription.

Inscribed by Ned Buntline using his given name: “Miss Anna J. Fuller with respects E Z C Judson.” A scarce signature from the “dime millionaire” and discoverer of Bufalo Bill. His sensationalist magazine Ned Buntline’s Own was a major force in perpetuating the highly romanticized image of the American West as the setting for excitement and adventure. His dime novel of Bufalo Bill became a sensation and launched both into stardom. Similarly, Wood and Waters written by the journalist-turned state librarian Alfred B. Street, did much to popularize the idea of the romantic lure of the Adirondacks.

Buntline went to the Adirondacks in 1859 and made them his headquarters for two years. “In his leisure moments he was always writing or – drinking. An extremist in all things, he was extremely fond of the cup that cheers” (Donaldson, II, p.120). His log cabin on Eagle Lake and his Adirondack life were true to type. He fshed and hunted, and hired the famous guide Alvah Dunning for a time, until their famous feud [see no. 43]. (400832) $450

9. COLVIN, Verplanck. Report on a Topographical Survey of the Adirondack Wilderness of New York. Albany: The Argus Company, 1873. First edition. 8vo. 43pp. Lithograph of the Station on Bald Peak and two folding maps: “Specimen of a Portion of a Reconnaisance Map” and “Sketch Showing the Primary Triangulation Together with the Divide between the streams fowing to the Hudson and St. Lawrence Rivers.” Original plum gilt-lettered cloth. Provenance: Ed & Grace Hudowalski (bookplate). Second map with diagonal tear and loose at end, cloth slightly toned along spline.

State of New York Document No. 53, issued in the state senate 10 March 1873. An outstanding presentation copy, inscribed by to Col. John Hay on the front free endpaper: “Col. John Hay / Compliments of Verplanck Colvin.” John Milton Hay (1838-1905) had one of the longest careers in government service of any American statesman. He was frst Abraham Lincoln’s private secretary and assistant, and later served as Secretary of State under Presidents William McKinley and . At the time of Colvin’s 1873 Report, Hay was in his “Wilderness Years,” working as an editorial writer for the New- York Tribune, writing poetry, and lecturing. Also with a fne Adirondack provenance: Grace Hudowalski was the frst woman (and ninth person) to have climbed all 46 High Peaks and

11 she was the frst President of the Adirondack Forty-Sixers club. With her husband, Ed, she formed an important library of early Adirondack material.

The 1872 law that created a Commission of State Parks directed it “to inquire into the expediency of providing for vesting in the State the title to the timbered regions within [seven named Adirondack counties] and converting the same into a public work” (Paul Shaefer, Adirondack Explorations: Nature Writings of Verplanck Colvin, Syracuse, 1997, p.98). Seven commissioners were appointed, with Colvin as secretary. “The commission’s report… was clearly written by Colvin… The order of the report is contrary to most dry, rambling, governmental documents – the main recommendation is ofered frst instead of last, quickly bringing the reader to the conclusion before losing his interest in page after page of facts and fgures…” (ibid). Though optimistically titled the “First Annual” it was the only report ever fled by the commission. This is Plum 1118, scarcer than her following entry, which is the extended work published by Weed, Parsons & Co. the following year. This Senate printing of the frst appearance of Colvin’s Report predates that more common printing. (400891) $1,500

11. LUNDY, John Patterson. Portion of the manuscript for: The Saranac Exiles: A Winter’s Tale of the Adirondacks. Not by W. Shakespeare. Circa late 1870s. Autograph manuscript, 51 pages on 38 leaves, folio, lined paper.

A long portion of Lundy’s sardonic miscellany, made up of half-fact and half-fction, which was privately printed in Philadelphia in 1880. Lundy (1823-1892) was an Episcopalian pastor and writer, who during his diaconate was chaplain of Sing Sing prison. He went to Saranac Lake for his health from his native Philadelphia during the winter of 1877-78. Donaldson describes The Saranac Exiles as “conceived in spite and written in malice.” And although he admired Dr. Trudeau, Lundy denigrated the population of the village as “almost lawless and savage, well-nigh bestial and depraved... of meager ideas, narrow intelligence, rude manners, and bad morals.” The present manuscript includes portions from “Original Names” that concerns the naming of the Adirondack region, including some of the Dutch origins and

13 Native American background and mention of the Jesuit Relations. Other passages relate to natural history, geology, hydrology, the impact of forest fres and tornados, and six pages are comprised of verse. The fnal leaf is signed with initials, dated at Saranac Lake, 16 February 1878, and titled “Modern English Bear-baiting and other Accomplishments.” Further portions of Lundy’s manuscript, and marked proofs, are at the New York State Library, Albany.

12. REED, William. Life on the Border, Sixty Years Ago. Fall River, MA: Robert Adams, 1882. First edition. 8vo. 120pp. Original blue printed wrappers; cloth folding case. Rebacked with portion of upper front cover renewed, front wrapper chipped at lower corner, title with associated repair.

A surprisingly scarce title, about which Goodspeed wrote: “The border referred to was northern New York from the Adirondacks to Canada and the time was 1822-1835. The author tells of the Indians of the region and Indian education, the various backwoods religions and revival meetings, murder and other crimes, and anecdotes of the settlers.” (400833) $300

14 SENECA RAY STODDARD (1844-1917)

Seneca Ray Stoddard spent most of his adult life writing about and illustrating the Adirondacks from his studio in Glens Falls. It is not known when exactly he learned the new technology of photography, but by 1867 he had mastered the process and was advertising his services in the Glens Falls Republican. Over the next forty years he produced thousands of images, and as early as 1876 was ofering “2,000 diferent views” of the area. The Adirondack Museum’s collection contains approximately 5,000 to 6,000 distinct images.

He is undoubtedly the great popularizer of the region, and though his business was aimed at the tourist trade, his body of work is broad and revealing. It blends views of the with portraits of weathered guides and local hotelkeepers, sportsmen with the well- appointed class. He both captured and suggested a world view, one of rustic romance, but also topographically exacting. The majority of his photographs were sold individually, but he later collected images into albums and reproduced select images by photomechanical means. These progressed to his famous guidebooks, which further stimulated tourism. “His images provide a prolifc visual record of the region during a formative period in its history, 1870- 1910, when the area was in a society increasingly dependent on the tourist trade – an economy which still characterizes the Adirondacks. Stoddard encouraged and documented this critical change” (William Crowley, Seneca Ray Stoddard: Adirondack Illustrator, Blue Mountain Lake, 1982, p.12).

Henry Van Hoevenberg sits on horseback next to two young girls. His relationship with the Adirondacks began in 1877 when he camped on Upper Ausable Lake. In the party was a Miss Josephine Schofeld, to whom he became engaged. They decided to climb the highest mountain and from its summit select the most beautiful spot in view as the location for a future home. From the summit of Mount Marcy, they located a plot on Heart Lake and named the nearby peak in honor of Miss Schofeld. Tragically, she died within a year and never saw the great home herself. Built in 1879, this home was the Adirondack Lodge which tragically burned to the ground during the great fres of 1903. Now known as the namesake of the Olympic venue in Lake Placid, Van Hoevenberg’s pioneering days were highly infuential in -fnding and -building, which he carried out with a particular ethos. Rather than fnding the shortest route, he sought routes that went past the most beautiful scenery, and hikers today may still beneft from his eforts. (400883) $65

The local economy in near-by Warrensburg was principally farming, and Stoddard’s photograph shows a farm with several outbuildings at the right. During the middle years of the nineteenth century, hemlock bark from the upper Schroon was shipped to local tanneries. In the spring, the settlement was overrun by loggers, as drives from the upper Hudson and Schroon met at this junction of the two rivers for the fnal rush to the mills at Glens Falls. (400872) $70

Chauncey Hathorn (1826-1891) is considered the frst of European descent to settle at Blue Mountain Lake, where he arrived in 1853. He moved his camp to Golden Beach on Raquette Lake in 1877, perhaps because he did not own his previous site. Hathorn did not own his site on Raquette, either — it belonged to Dr. Thomas Clark Durant and later his son, William. They seem to have allowed him to remain there until he drowned accidentally in 1891.

This image appears to replace an earlier no. 776 in which a woman looks out of the window of the cabin, without the porch seen here, and two men stand at the guideboats. (400875) $125

The Minne-ha-ha was the only steamboat on Lake George when Stoddard arrived in Glens Falls, NY in 1865 and he turned his attention to landscape painting and photography. His photographs did much to share the rustic, romantic view of the Adirondacks and build the tourism industry. (400870) $65 18 19 20

29 HENRY ABBOTT’S BIRCH BARK BOOKS

Henry Abbott’s nineteen “Birch Bark Books” represent some of the best of Adirondack writing: clear, straightforward prose celebrating the woods and its many pleasures. Abbott owned the Calculagraph Company, and among his many inventions he is best remembered for creating the frst really efective device for winding the watch and adjusting its hands to the proper time with one stem. Perhaps that combination of efciency and skillful engineering infuenced the clarity of his prose.

Abbott’s stories bring back an era when one traveled to the Adirondacks chiefy by train and the remote mountain ponds could be reached only on foot or by guideboat. With his guide, Bige Smith, he camped, fshed, and hunted, and, starting in 1914, shared with close family and friends his charming tales of the woods as Christmas presents. It is believed that fewer than 100 copies of each were printed.

Masten / Jan 15, 1924.” Masten’s work on the discovery and development of the McIntyre iron ore mine in Tahawus, NY (Essex County) remains a classic of Adirondack literature. Visitors today to the so-called “Lost Village” can learn here about its vibrant history as one of the major iron mining and smelting operations in the 19th century. Theodore Roosevelt was visiting here in 1901 when he learned that President William McKinley had been shot; he left from Tahawus to return to Bufalo, and ascended to the Presidency upon McKinley’s death. Masten was an eminent New York attorney, and Vice President of the MacIntyre Iron Company, the somewhat dormant successor to the original enterprise. The text was reprinted in a trade edition in 1968. This original frst edition is quite scarce. (400834) $750

A fne presentation copy, inscribed by Shepard to Godrey Haggard, noted United Kingdom politician who at the time was Consul General to Guatemala. Shepard designed many camps and cottages for the Adirondack League Club, a private landowner’s association founded in 1890 in Old Forge (Herkimer County). Included are architectural drawings of private camps, boathouses, outbuildings, interior details, furniture, gates, and freplaces. This work proved infuential in the design of structures in national parks.

Of his own work, Shepard wrote “in the design of these camps we see the structural element logically emphasized. Visible construction may be said to stand as an architectural symbol of nature’s growth, and these camps make their strongest appeal in the fact that their designs are so defnitely based on structure. This is evident in the roof trusses, the peeled log and pole beams and the split pole studs, so frequently used... Every detail possesses some structural signifcance... Simplicity is the keynote of the design as it is in nature.” (400840) $1,000

74. ANSON, George. A Voyage Round the World, in the Years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV. London: D. Browne, T. Osborne et al, 1756. Ninth edition. 4to. 42 folding engravings. Contemporary calf gilt. Rebacked, joints cracked, some chipping to plate edges not afecting images, plate with small tear, contents leaf sprung, some occasional pale staining.

One of the landmark 18th-century English circumnavigations, made not so much for discovery and exploration but as an armed naval expedition to cut of Spanish supplies of wealth from South America after the outbreak of war between Britain and Spain in 1739. Indeed, Anson succeeded in doing this by taking a number of Spanish prize ships and a laden Manila galleon near the Philippines, but at heavy cost. Six of his feet’s vessels were sunk or wrecked on the South American coast or in rounding Cape Horn after their passage through the Strait of Le Maire, many men died of scurvy, and surviving crew were forced to litigate for their share of the prize money. Some of the fame of the expedition lies in the published accounts of survivors of Anson’s ship Wager, wrecked of the Patagonian coast and vividly described by Bulkeley and Cummins, John Byron, Young, and Campbell. Anson’s voyage laid the groundwork for the British voyages of exploration in the Pacifc of the latter half of the 18th century, and Walter produced a masterpiece of descriptive travel that became the most popular book of maritime adventure of the time. Although generally accepted that the work was written by Walter, it seems to have been revised and edited by Benjamin Robins. Cox I p.49; Headland 109; Hill 1817; Sabin 101175. (400579) $500 39 75. UNITED STATES — . Journals of Congress, Containing the Proceedings from Sept. 5, 1774 to Jan. 1, 1776. Philadelphia: R. Aitken, 1777. First edition. 8vo. Original boards, uncut; quarter blue morocco slipcase. Short marginal tear on Qq2 just touching text, portions of backstrip lacking, some pale staining

First collected edition. The Journals were issued by the government’s printers Robert Aitken, John Patterson, John Dunlap and David Claypoole and document the early history of the American republic, minutely recording its progression from an array of disparate and disgruntled colonies to armed resistence and outright rebellion, Independence, confederation, and eventually, unifcation under a remarkable Federal Constitution. The journals record the daily business of the Congress, and contain the most vital documents from the Revolutionary period through the end of the Confederacy, and culminates with the tumultuous adoption of the Federal Constitution in 1788. The bibliographical and textual importance of books preserved in original, unsophisticated state needs no elaboration, especially as some of the edition sizes were quite small (as few as 500 copies). The resolution of 13 September 1786, which was printed in volume 11, directs “That the Secretary of Congress take order for having printed and bound in the usual manner [boards?] fve hundred volumes of the journals of Congress for each of the years 1777, 1778, 1780 and 1781 1782.” The 12-page Index is not present at end of this copy—clearly issued without it at the time of publication.

Soon after the Declaration of Independence, Congress recognized the necessity of publishing and disseminating its proceedings on a timely basis. These volumes appeared in more or less annual volumes, but in variable formats and from three diferent printers: Robert Aitken, John Dunlap, and David Claypoole. A tradition had already been established by the separate publication of the Journals from the First and Second Continental Congress in 1774 and 1775. This, the frst volume in the series, began after the Declaration of Independence, reprinted those journals, and was issued concurrently with the second volume, both appearing from the press of Robert Aitken in 1777.

First newspaper printing of the Monroe Doctrine, in the National Intelligencer. Monroe’s historic message to Congress of 2 December 1823 (found here printed in 6 columns on pages 2 and 3) enshrined as national policy principles suggested by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, condemning European intervention in the Americas and prohibiting all eforts at colonization. Monroe proclaimed that “The American continents, by the free and independent condition they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers,” and that any such intervention would be regarded as “manifestation of an unfriendly disposition towards the United States.” His announcement “represented one of Adams’ fnest contributions to the emergence of the United States as a world power” (Nagel, John Quincy Adams, p.271). “By including the policy statement in his annual message Monroe gave his declaration a character reminiscent of Washington’s well-remembered Farewell Address. He focussed attention upon his utterances as a declaration of national policy...” (Ammon, James Monroe: The Quest for National Identity, p.492). This printing, in the National Intelligencer, is preceded only by an exceedingly rare “extra” issued on 2 December by the same press.

After Ross’s disastrous voyage of 1818, the Admiralty refused to allow him to lead another Arctic expedition until 1829. With assistance from gin magnate Felix Booth and with contributions by Ross himself, he commanded the steam vessel Victory with his nephew James Clark Ross as second in charge. In searching for a passage south from Regent’s inlet, the Victory was stopped by ice, and Ross and his men spent the winter of 1829-1830 in Felix harbor. In the summer of 1830, the ship made some progress and got a few miles further south to winter in Victoria harbor. But there it remained stuck in the ice, and in May 1832 was abandoned. Ross and his men made their way to Fury Beach, where they passed yet another winter in a hut built from the wreck of the Fury and managed to survive by eating an Inuit diet. In the summer of 1833, they succeeded in reaching Ross’s old ship, the Isabella, in Lancaster Sound and used it to return to England. The voyage, remarkable for the length of time spent in the ice, yielded much in the way of scientifc observations, including information on natural history, meteorology, navigation, and ethnology. James Clark Ross was also able to discover the Magnetic North Pole. Abbey Travel 636; Arctic Bibliography 14866; Field 1321; Hill 1490; Lande 1426; NMM 850; Sabin 73381; Staton & Tremaine/TPL 1808.

49 April and traveled by train to the Alabama River and thence to Mobile, Pensacola, and Fort Pickens; back to Mobile, by steamboat to New Orleans and Columbus, Kentucky, and by boat to Cairo, Illinois. Leaving the South, he went to Chicago, Niagara Falls, Philadelphia, and Washington, with various trips therafter. He stirred up hostility in the South by his phobia against slavery, which he denounced time and again as barbarism. Yet he found much to praise in the South, where he met all the principal ofcials, civil and military, thought highly of them, and felt that the South would probably never be conquered. Discounting his bias and highly critical attitude toward all things American, one may get a remarkably vivid picture of life in the South during three months in the early period of the Confederacy” (Coulter 403).

100. DYCK, Anthony van (1599-1641). Icones Principum Virorum Doctorum, Pictorum Chalcographorum Statuariorum nec non Amatorum Pictoriae Artis numero centum. : Gillis Hendricx, ca 1660.

Folio (379 x 281 mm; 14¾ x 11 ¼ inches). Engraved title incorporating an etched self-portrait and 109 etched or engraved plates, including 11 etched by Van Dyck himself (nos. 98-108); the remaining etched or engraved by Jacob Neefs (3), Lucas Vorsterman (26), (30), Pieter de Jode (14), Schelte Adams Bolswert (11), Adriaen Lommelin (2), Nicolaes Lauwers (1), Robert Van Voerst (7), Cornelius Galle (1), Andreas Stock (1), Willem Hondius (2), Willem Jaconszoon Delf (1), and Pieter Clouwet (1). The majority with foolscap watermark; countermark “AH”. Interleaved with wove paper throughout. (Some occasional pale spotting, pl. 44 with 1-in. repaired marginal tear, overall generally clean and fresh.) 19th-century red morocco, gilt-lettered on spine, edges gilt, by Chambolle-Duru (joints rubbed, with top of front joint partly split, board edges somewhat toned, a few scufs and scratches).

Provenance: pierre mariette (1634-1716), from the Parisian family of engravers, booksellers, and print sellers (signature on verso of 103 of the plates, each dated between 1660 and 1693; two-pages notes on one leaf at front, summarizing the life and work of Van Dyck; manuscript index of subjects and plate numbers [inserted in manuscript on each plate, upper right] inlaid in larger sheet after the leaf of notes); with Morgand (stock number on front free endpaper); Robert Schumann; with Bernard Quaritch; John Galvin (initialed gift inscription, 1982); the present owner.

54 55 A fne, tall copy of this important work in the history of portraiture with a superb provenance. Final states of the plates, after the addition of the title-page in 1645 by Hendricx, and after the erasure of the address of Marinus van den Enden, and the erasure of the initials of the publisher (“G.H.”). Of the ffteen plates now ascribed to Van Dyck himself, eleven are present in this copy, with the other four having been re-engraved, as is the case with the Hendricx issue.

“Sir stands out as the solitary great etcher of the school. Portrait etching had scarcely had an existence before his time, and in his work it suddenly appears at the highest point ever reached in the art” (Hind, p.v165). “The plan of this publication took shape after Van Dyck returned from Italy (1626) and before he went to England (1632). He made careful preparatory drawings in chalk and brush for the publication. He directed and revised the work of the engravers, the best of the Rubens circle; he collaborated with his etching needle in some of the plates and himself etched the most beautiful set, mainly portraits of artists. One of the most brilliant in human characterization is the portrait of Peter Brueghel the Younger, son of the great Peasant Brueghel. It is remarkable that the etching appeared in this sketchy form in the book, proving that the master regarded it as fnished. All interest is focussed on the wonderful hand. The frst edition was published in Antwerp in 1635-1636. Yet it was not complete, and the title-page did not appear before the Gillis Hendricx edition of 1645, engraved by Jacob Neels” (Benesch, Artistic and Intellectual Trends, p. 32.) Hofer, Book Illustrations 132.

56 with an important provenance, collected by pierre mariette, second- generation in the family frm of one of the leading engravers, book publishers, and print sellers in 17th-Century Paris. When he bought the business from his father in 1657, it was valued at an astonishing 30,000 livres. His own prodigious stock and collection would pass through the hands of his son Jean, and grandson Jean-Pierre (who catalogued the Crozat collection, considered the frst modern descriptive catalogue). This lineage of experts had access to, and obtained, the fnest Old Master prints and drawings in Europe, and their dispersal after Jean-Pierre’s death included the “Spencer Albums” of prints. They are to this day one of the most important acquisitions made by Harvard University. It is unknown when the present suite of Van Dyck’s important portrait series left the Mariette family, and it is possible that it remained unbound into the Nineteenth Century, and that this is therefore its frst binding.

Joseph Maberly described “Pierre Mariette… [as] an eminent collector and dealer about the middle of the seventeenth century. He was accustomed, whenever he happened to become possessed of an impression of more than ordinary beauty, to write his name in full, and a date, on the face of the print [as well as on the back], and although this is certainly a disfgurement, yet such is Pierre Mariette’s reputation for judgment, that to be thus disfgured, is no disparagement to a print, but the contrary” (Maberly, The Print Collector, An Introduction to the Knowledge Necessary for Forming a Collection of Ancient Prints, Edited by Robert Hoe, New York, 1880, p.81).

The author of “Rock of Ages” and Calvinist opponent of John Wesley

Augustus Montague Toplady’s copy, with his lengthy indices in manuscript on the pastedowns and ownership inscription on a slip pasted above the Dedication: “È

61 Libris Augusti Toplady: Empt. Londini, Maii de 15to 1761.” Annotated throughout on some 72 leaves, often with extensive theological and historical commentary.

This volume provides passage into Toplady’s theology, that began with the vehement anti-Wesley stance he developed in 1758 after reading Thomas Manton’s 17th-century sermon on John 17 and Jerome Zanchius’s Confession of the Christian Religion (1562).

The present volume, annotated by Toplady the year after his graduation from Trinity College, Dublin, provides great insight into the theologian’s early thinking, as he reads and responds – at times with great emotion – to Cave’s lives of the Saints. Toplady wrote his famous hymn “Rock of Ages” two years later, in 1763.

Material in Toplady’s hand is not common on the market: only one letter has sold at auction in at least the last 50 years. That was a one-page letter to W. P. Lunnell meditating on the love of God and the salvation of the Elect, and quoting from Wesley’s hymn “God of all consolation” (sold Bonham’s 2009 in the Ennys collection, £780 [$1,399] hammer).

Provenance: Gilbert East (1793 inscription at title gutter). Covers sprung.

“Defoe again begins with a humorous preface, in which he explains that if anyone was expecting, based on the title, to fnd a work of science, ‘a Book of Rules for Instruction in the Practice, or a Magical Grammar for Introduction to young Beginners, all I can say to such is, that they will be mistaken.’ The work is instead a history of the practice of magic, beginning in ancient times and traced down to the present day. He explains how the Magi frst came to deal with the Devil, and how the Devil has continued to insinuate himself throughout history, appearing to and deceiving men with false signs and wonders” (Lilly Library).

According to Wise: “In 1843, when advertising the present pamphlet for sale, Rodd asserted that it was a facsimile reprint of an alleged original edition of which the author had printed twenty copies in 1816. No example of this mysterious original has ever been unearthed; no trace of it beyond Rodd’s own statement has ever been discovered; and no mention of any kind either of its printing or distribution is to be found in the correspondence of Shelley or any of his friends. My own opinion is that no original ever existed, that the private impression of twenty copies was a myth, and that Rodd’s so-called facsimile reprint of 1843 is in fact the actual princeps of the Address” (Ashley V, p.64).

Original German crimson cloth, gilt-lettered on spine. A shadow on front cover, paper somewhat browned and brittle.

Sir James George Frazer’s copy, inscribed by him with his address on the title: “J.G.

Frazer’s The Golden Bough (frst edition 1890; fnal 12-volume edition published 1906-15) is still one of the most important modern studies of mythology and comparative religion, just as Pseudo-Apollodorus’s ‘The Library’ remains the most valuable mythographical work from ancient times. In 1919, at the time he inscribed this copy, Frazer was preparing his two-volume Loeb edition of Apollodorus and he was no doubt studying Rudolf Hercher’s edition for this purpose. His Loeb edition, published in 1921, provided an epitome of the book by confating two manuscript summaries of the text, including a lost part. Hercher was a renowned German classical philologist who specialized in textual criticism of Greek authors. A fne association copy. (400412) $1,500

The chromolithographic plates feature ornamental designs of Japanese wood block prints, scrolls and other decorative arts. The German-born dealer and collector Siegfried Bing was at the center of the craze for Japanese art in Paris at the end of the 19th Century. His journal used illustrations of objects from private collections to educate the public, and includes essays on art, architecture, painting, woodblock printing, pottery, poetry and theater. Artistic Japan was very infuential, and played a large role in raising awareness of Japanese art in the West. Gustav Klimt acquired a complete run in 1906. (400688) $1,500 71 111. RACINET, Auguste.

“The most important general survey on costume” (Colas). Racinet’s is the most famous of the 19th-century books on dress, and the frst fashion book to use color lithography. It is a wide-ranging survey of costume through time, an encyclopaedic work in the tradition of the costume books that began to appear from the 16th- century in the wake of the age of exploration. Publication was made possible by signifcant developments in color printing technology, and a resurgence of interest in “the other” as a new period of European colonialism gathered pace from the mid-19th century. The emphasis here is on continuity in traditional dress, rather than innovation in fashion, and linking costume to local history, custom and social organization. Racinet was determined to produce a visually appealing book that deployed chromolithography to full efect; to this end, he sometimes embellished on reality by adding color to some of his sources.

His wife, and the future First Lady, was a former Latin teacher and translator of this edition. Hoover 28; Norman 21. (400631) $2,250 115. TROTSKY, Leon. Typed letter signed (“L. Trotsky”) to Max Shachtman, Kadiköy [cosmopolitan district of Istanbul], 23 May 1931. In German. Two pages on one sheet, folio. A densely written letter of some 95 single-spaced typed lines. Some slight darkening along original folds, and light edgewear, but generally in fne condition.

A superb letter from Trotsky to the ablest of his followers at this time. Though Shachtman later split the little Party into “Shachtmanites” and “Cannonites,” he was in 1931 exceedingly close to Trotsky, and this letter gives one a feeling for the immense network of powerless “Trotskyites” (a word he himself deplored), all writing to and about each other while attempting to keep up with Trotsky’s dialectic.

Trotsky divides his letter into 5 sections, each dealing systematically with a particular subject. The frst relates to a request that he write the preface to a book on China. Trotsky refers Shachtman to his arcticle in the Russian Bulletin nos. 15/16, “Stalin and the Chinese Revolution,” and suggests this may be used for the purpose of the preface. His second section notes that “we are glad with Comrade [Jan] Frankel that you came at least half way out of your reserve towards [Kurt]

74 Landau.” Trotsky, in a combative tone, asks if Shachtman truly thinks that Trotsky was trying to instigate a split. Trotsky had sided with the up-and-coming Roman Well, who accused Landau of exaggerating the danger of a possible Nazi takeover of Germany. In May 1931 the left opposition split and Landau formed his own group. Trotsky reveals further factions, especially that led by French Surrealist writer and sociologist Pierre Naville, dividing eforts of the party in Austria, Germany, and America. “Not Landau’s themes of tomorrow are crucial, but the fact that as long as his power is not threatened he approves of everything in China, also in America and all the other countries.” His third section reports his pleasure that copyrights have generated a little money for Shachtman. He discusses his publication negotiations with Boni: “I am afraid that Boni will attempt to also subtract 5% of the Saturday- Honorary. Since on the one hand I have been cheated and... enough by the... I do need the money very urgently now, especially to institute a German theoretical organization, I have decided not to pay out the 5% even if I have to totally break the contract. I have written to Eastman in more detail about this. I would like to have the ‘Militant’ beneft from the 5%, from the book as well as the copy rights, this could be a substantial sum.”

The fnal two sections are cursory and state that he has no idea about some comments in the local press, and that “I don’t have to tell you how pleased I am about the prospect of the change of the ‘Militant’ to a weekly paper. The next step must be a theoretical monthly paper. I am very inclined to express this special ruling to the ‘Militant.’” (400754) $10,000

New York: Coward McCann, 1938. First edition. The play’s leading man Tom Fadden’s copy, inscribed to him by Thornton Wilder, signed by the entire cast, annotated by him for performance, and with an autograph postcard from Wilder laid in. 8vo. Original cloth; original pictorial dust jacket (some fraying and short tears at edges); cloth folding case.

Tom Fadden’s copy, with his ownership name and address on the verso of the half- title. Presentation copy, inscribed by Wilder to Fadden on the half-title: “For Tom: with the gratitude of Thornton Wilder / N.Y. May 1938.” Additionally inscribed by star Frank Craven, and signed by the cast. Further enhancing this exemplary copy are penciled notes by Fadden on 39 pages of the text in which he remarks on performance subtleties or provides himself with visual cues.

Tom Fadden originated the role of Howie Newsome, the young milkman and fxture of Grover’s Corners. Our Town was frst performed at McCarter Theater in Princeton, New Jersey on January 22, 1938. It moved to the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts on January 25, 1938 and made its New York City debut on February 4, 1938 at Henry Miller’s Theatre. It won the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The present copy was inscribed to Fadden after the frst performances of the play, and thus connects its early life on the stage via Fadden’s performance notes to the moment of its great critical reception in New York. Laid-in is an autograph postcard from Wilder to Fadden, 12 July [1942], saying that he mentioned Fadden to Alfred Hitchcock but that it seemed the director had already flled his vacant role. He writes “I hope that you and I can work together on something again when the war’s over.” Also laid in are a promotional photo and a Playbill for the run at the Morosco Theatre. 80 Tom Fadden (1895-1980) had a long career, performing on stage, vaudeville, flm and television. Among his numerous roles, he is perhaps best remembered as the Tollhouse Keeper on the bridge in It’s a Wonderful Life for his reaction to the angel Clarence’s explanation of who he is to George Bailey.

Original printed boards, yellow endpapers, spiral bound. Pale marginal dampstain at end, light soiling to boards.

An important work from two of the great pioneers in the felds of information design and information architecture. “For a wide range of American businesses, Sutnar developed graphic systems that clarifed vast amounts of complex information, transforming business data into digestible units. He was the man responsible for putting the parentheses around American telephone area-code numbers when they were frst introduced” (AIGA National Design Center).

An émigré to America in 1923, Lönberg-Holm was a fundamental correspondent with prominent European architects and their modernist counterparts in the U.S. “Beginning in the late 1930s, Lönberg-Holm was the Director of Research for Sweet’s Catalog Service, a division of F.W. Dodge Corporation in New York. Then as now, Sweet’s was a clearing house for trade and industry catalogs selling common and arcane building, plumbing, electrical, and other construction supplies, to architects, contractors, and craftsmen” (Steven Heller, The Graphic Design Reader, 1999).

128. [LA ROSA, Julius] — HAMMERSTEIN, Oscar II. Lyrics. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1949. First edition. 8vo. Original cloth. Provenance: Julius La Rosa (embossed stamp, his highlighting, underlining, and notes). Pp.125-6 removed, lower corners of preliminaries with soft creases, spine faded, some wear at ends of spine and corners.

Julius La Rosa’s copiously marked copy of Oscar Hammerstein II’s lyrics. Born in in 1930, La Rosa was a celebrated singer in the 1950s on television, stage and nightclubs. He had reinvented himself after a humiliating on-air fring by Arthur Godfrey when he was only 23 years old. It was the moment Godfrey’s avuncular image began to crumble, and far from killing La Rosa’s career, it opened even larger avenues. La Rosa was hired by Ed Sullivan at three times his salary and by 1955 “The Julius La Rosa Show” was on television three times a week.

La Rosa’s annotations to Hammerstein’s lyrics — among the greatest of the 20th Century — reveal the performer’s focus on certain lines, as he highlights in yellow or green, or underlines in pencil. Two pages bear small pencil notes, but La Rosa saved his most insightful note to the end: for the lyric “When I Grow Too Old to Dream” (for the picture The Night is Young) he writes in blue pen: “Only one word has more than 1 syllable / 51 words!’ And his most extensive notes are on the rear endpaper, where he lists pages of songs and tells himself “get Flower Dream song & Sound of Mus.[ic].” And he makes a note to “Get music to song on p.155” [“Now is the Time”].

Original typed title-page, and two styles of mechanical reproduction. Original printed wrappers closed with three contemporary brass clasps; cloth folding case. Wrappers with some chipping and toning at edges

Production manager George Justin’s copy: signed in red pencil by him on the title, and annotated throughout in pencil. Justin numbers each of the shots, crosses out and adds dialogue and production notes throughout the script.

On the Waterfront was a critical and commercial success and received twelve Academy Award nominations, winning eight, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Marlon Brando, Best Supporting Actress for Eva Marie Saint, and Best Director for Elia Kazan. Considered Kazan’s response to those who labelled him a Communist before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1952, the frst screenplay was written by Kazan’s friend and collaborator Arthur Miller. It was originally titled The Hook, and Harry Cohn at Columbia Pictures agreed to make the flm if the corrupt union ofcials in the early version were changed to Communists. Miller refused, in part because he did not like it that Kazan gave friendly testimony before the HUAC. It was then that Kazan turned to Budd Schulberg. Studio rejections from Darryl F. Zanuck lead them to independent producer Sam Spiegel and Columbia Pictures. Schulberg’s script went through numerous changes. In early versions, for instance, Terry Malloy was not an ex-pug dockworker, but an investigative reporter, and an older, divorced man.

In 1937, George Justin (1916-2008) had been the test director for George Cukor on casting Gone With the Wind. His frst credit as Producer or Production Executive was On the Waterfront, and he continued producing movies and television until 1994. He worked again with Kazan on A Face in the Crowd, made three flms with Sidney Lumet, and was part of the production team for The Graduate and 12 Angry Men. This copy of his personal shooting script for one of the undisputed classics of American cinema ofers a unique insight into the making of flm. (400752) $12,000

A great image of a contemplative Williams back stage during a 1953 performance of “Summer and Smoke” (frst performed 1948).

The ensemble cast included Geraldine Page and Nick Sowka, directed by José Quintero.

Saroyan stares down heavily in this three-quarter length portrait, after a rehearsal for “Floydada to Matador”, the collective name for the performance of the three “Americana” plays: “The Hungerers,” “Opera Opera,” and “Hello Out There,” written in 1939, 1940 and 1941 respectively.

136. CARROLL, Sidney; Leonard ROSENMAN; and Ray BRADBURY. Rocket Summer. A musical outline. [New York]: Alert, [1958-59]. 4to. 49pp. Mechanically reproduced typescript, clean and unmarked. Original printed wrappers closed with three contemporary brass clasps. Light toning to edges, old tape adhesion on front wrapper.

Based upon stories taken from Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles, the musical outlined here was never produced. This outline appears to be the earliest attempt to adapt Bradbury’s story into a musical. Bradbury himself, along with seasoned screenwriter Sidney Carroll and Oscar-winning flm director Leonard Rosenman, outline a proposed adaptation in detail.

Attempts to make “Rocket Summer” into a musical thus took place earlier than previously thought. Lerner and Loewe famously were turned down in the 1960s when they asked Bradbury to adapt his story — and it did not reach the stage until 2008, composed by Daniel Levy and with a libretto by Elizabeth Margid.

This copy was that of screenwriter Sidney Carroll: a presumably unique Bradbury item, with no other copies traced. Due to the abandonment of the project, this copy retained by Carroll may well be the only copy extant. (400740) $2,000 92 136 137. BRINBERG, Louis. Quantitative Vectorelectrocardiography.
