Adams, Ansel: [Original Silver Gelatin Print, Signed]: FERN SPRING, DUSK ... [with:] IMAGES 1923 - 1974. Boston: New York Graphic Society, 1974 Original gelatin silver print photograph (31 x 23 cm), printed by Adams from the negative. Dry mounted on archival board (42 x 34 cm). Fine. Print number 169 of 1000 numbered prints (500 numbered in Roman, 500 in Arabic), signed by Adams on the mount, and with certificate of limitation and technical details on verso. Published to accompany the deluxe, limited issue of Images 1923 - 1974, of which a copy is present, also numbered ‘169’ and signed on the colophon by Adams. The book is blem- ished, as at some point early on a previous owner excised the front free endsheet, quite likely to remove a presentation inscription, taking with it a significant area of the surface of the pastedown. It is otherwise very good and sound in dust jacket, with both enclosed in a somewhat faded and rubbed half calf oblong folio clamshell box, with the two short joints of the top lid at the fore-edge broken. In other words, a beautiful, virtually untouched copy of the signed print, with a flawed copy of the book tagging along. $3850. 2. [Adler, Jankel]: Themerson, Stefan: JANKEL ADLER AN ARTIST SEEN FROM ONE OF MANY POSSIBLE ANGLES. [London]: Gaberbocchus Press Ltd., [1948]. Quarto. Decorated wrapper over stiff wrapper. 12 full-page drawings by the subject. Browned at edges, with some spots to the wrapper fold-ins from now absent “protective” wrapper; just a good copy. First edition. One of 400 numbered copies printed by hand on handmade paper, and signed by Adler and Themerson. This monograph appeared the year prior to Adler’s death. $225. 3. [AIGA Auction]: THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF GRAPHIC ARTS THE FIFTH BOOK AUCTION .... [New York: AIGA], March 1939. Printed wrappers. Spine faintly sunned, oth- erwise near fine. The auction was held at Sardi’s on 21 March, and included 129 numbered lots, including original Bruce Rogers manuscript maquettes, donations from the Black Sun Press, the Grabhorns, Dard Hunter, Random House, and on and on. $25. 4. Aldington, Richard: IMAGES (1910-1915). London: The Poetry Bookshop, [1915]. Small quarto. Pictorial wrappers, with a handcolored design by John Nash. The wrappers are a bit dust darkened (but not foxed), small 1916 ownership signature inside front wrapper, but a very good copy. First edition of the author’s first book. Reilly includes this title, though it predates Aldington’s active service and only one or two poems might be seen as alluding to the War. WOOLMER A12. REILLY (WWI), p.39. $200. 5. Aldington, Richard: A FOOL I’ THE FOREST A PHANTASMAGORIA. New York: Lincoln Mac Veagh / The Dial Press 1925. Gilt cloth. Usual offset on endsheets delimited by the jacket flaps, otherwise a very good copy, in rather tanned dust jacket with a narrow discoloration toward the lower edge of the front panel. First edition, US issue, comprised of the British edition altered solely by insertion of a cancel title leaf. Like its UK sire, denoted a “limited edition” on the front jacket panel. It seems likely that this US issue was even more “limited” than the UK issue. KERSHAW 12n. REILLY (WWI), p.39. $60. 6. [Aldus Manutius]: De Vinne, Theodore: AL- DVS PIVS MANVTIVS WITH AN ESSAY BY ... TOGETHER WITH A LEAF FROM THE ALDINE HYPNEROTOMACHIA POLIPHILI .... San Fran- cisco: The Book Club of California, 1924. Narrow folio. Quarter cloth and boards, gilt pictorial label. Light shelf-rubbing at tips, otherwise a very good or better copy, in folding cloth clamshell box. First edition. Copy #34 of 250 numbered copies printed at the Grabhorn Press on Kelm- scott handmade paper in Poliphilus type. Each of the originally distributed copies included a leaf from the grand illustrated 1499 edition from the Aldine Press. The leaf in this copy is graced by a half-page woodcut. Upon publication copies were offered at a hierarchy of prices: $12.50 for a purely typographic leaf; $15.00 for a leaf with an ornamental border, and $15.00 and up for copies with pictorial woodcuts, as here, with the price increasing for copies with better woodcuts. The narrative, sometimes attributed to Francesco Colonna, and the anonymous illustrations, exerted a powerful influence on readers as diverse as Carl Jung and Aubrey Beardsley. In 1955, fifty sets of remaining sheets were bound up, but included only a facsimile leaf. GRABHORN 67. Sold 7. Alexandrov, A.: USSR IN CONSTRUCTION A MONTHLY ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE [Whole Number 11].

    Pablo Neruda - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series Pablo Neruda - poems - Publication Date: 2011 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Pablo Neruda(12 July 1904 – 23 September 1973) Pablo Neruda was the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean poet and politician Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto. He chose his pen name after Czech poet Jan Neruda. Neruda wrote in a variety of styles such as erotically charged love poems as in his collection Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair, surrealist poems, historical epics, and overtly political manifestos. In 1971 Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Colombian novelist Gabriel García Márquez once called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language." Neruda always wrote in green ink as it was his personal color of hope. On July 15, 1945, at Pacaembu Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil, he read to 100,000 people in honor of Communist revolutionary leader Luís Carlos Prestes. During his lifetime, Neruda occupied many diplomatic positions and served a stint as a senator for the Chilean Communist Party. When Conservative Chilean President González Videla outlawed communism in Chile in 1948, a warrant was issued for Neruda's arrest. Friends hid him for months in a house basement in the Chilean port of Valparaíso. Later, Neruda escaped into exile through a mountain pass near Maihue Lake into Argentina. Years later, Neruda was a close collaborator to socialist President Salvador Allende. When Neruda returned to Chile after his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Allende invited him to read at the Estadio Nacional before 70,000 people.

Dr. Howard Garber, who donated the materials in the Howard J. Garber Manuscript Collection, is a former Clevelander and alumnus of Case Western Reserve University. Between 1979 and 1993, Dr. Garber donated over 2,000 autograph letters, documents and books to the Department of Special Collections. Dr. Garber's interest in history, particularly British royalty led to his affinity for collecting manuscripts. The collection focuses primarily on political, historical and literary figures in Great Britain and includes signatures of all the Prime Ministers and First Lords of the Treasury. Many interesting items can be found in the collection, including letters from Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, King George III, and Virginia Woolf.
