Section I: Fine Literature

1. (African American Literature) Corrothers, James D. The Black Cat Club: Negro Humor & Folk- Lore. 264 pp. Silhouette throughout by J.K. Bryans. (8vo), original pictorial red cloth, with black and white decorations on cover and spine. First Edition. New York: Funk & Wagnalls, 1902 Born in Michigan after the Civil War, James David Corrothers (1869-1917) began his writing career as a Chicago journalist; inspired by the writing of Paul Laurence Dunbar, he collected some of his own early work in this anthology, which used so-called “Negro dialect” in its humorous “character studies of Negro life…in the great cities of the North”. This was ironic, considering that Corrothers resigned his first job with the Chicago Tribune when a white reporter rewrote the first article he submitted to the paper using such “dialect”. None of Corrothers other books – which focus on a theme of protest against racial discrimination – were written in similar vernacular, which many Black intellectuals of the time considered racist and degrading; it’s said that Corrothers later regretted writing The Black Cat Club, even though the book was successful and established him, by the time of his death during World War I, as a leading African-American literary figure, who anticipated the protest literature of the Harlem Renaissance. Spine leaning a touch, lightly rubbed extremities; lacks front free endpaper; very good. (100/150)

2. (African American Literature) Dunbar, Alice Moore, editor. Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence: The Best Speeches Delivered by the Negro from the Days of Slavery to the Present Time. 512 pp. Frontispiece of Frederick Douglass. (8vo) red and green cloth. First Edition. New York: Bookery Publishing Company, [1914] An anthology of some 50 speeches, compiled by the widow of poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation – “the birth of the Negro into manhood”. Many of the speakers were famous – Douglass, Prince Saunders, Francis Grimke, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B.DuBois, Henry Highland Garnet, P.B.S. Pinchback, John R. Lynch, Robert Russa Morton, Kelly Miller – but some, found with the assistance of pioneering Black bibliophile Arthur Schomburg – were more obscure and their contributions in this volume are historically, as well as rhetorically, notable – for instance, a 1904 speech on Army training by the Chaplain of a “Buffalo Soldiers” regiment. Mrs. Dunbar, an author in her own right, as well as an active suffragette and political reformer, later edited one of the first literary anthologies of Black writers and poets at the start of the Harlem Renaissance. This earlier work is more scarce. Rubbed and a touch frayed at spine ends and corners, light soiling; very good. (250/350)

Page 1 INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR 3. (African American Literature) Henderson, Elliott B. Darkey Ditties - inscribed by the author. 54 pp. (8vo), original textured red cloth, lettered in gilt. First Edition. Columbus, Ohio: 1915 Inscribed in pencil on front end-paper, “To the distinguished Mr. John Gammeter, one of Nature’s noblemen. Elliott B. Henderson. July 17th, 1918”, with Gammeter printed signature, Akron, Ohio, on front pastedown. A little-known African-American poet of the Dunbar era, Henderson (1877-1944) was born in Ohio, where he lived throughout his life, his grandfather having come north from Virginia (via the Underground Railroad?) long before the Civil War. He published eight other volumes of poems between 1904 and 1915, and several in later life, most of these being in Black dialect. John Gammeter, to whom this volume is inscribed, was an engineer and aviator of Swiss-German descent who headed the experimental division of the Goodrich Rubber Company, producing over 300 inventions, including a dirigible balloon used by the US Navy in World War I, and – his least celebrated but most lucrative - an improved latex condom. Covers lightly rubbed; hinges cracked or starting, last leaf of text and rear free endpaper with closed tear, faint finger soiling; very good. (200/300)

Page 2 7. Bennett, E. A[rnold]. Journalism For Women: A Practical Guide. 98 + 12 ad pp. dated 1898. 6½x5, original blue cloth binding, with striking front cover in the Belle Epoque style, in red, green and white. First Edition. London: John Lane the Bodley Head, 1898 The British novelist’s first non-fiction work - advices for women journalists. Written ten years after “Nellie Bly” paved the way for American women journalists by breaking the fictional record of Jules Verne’s Phileas Fogg with a trip around the world in 72 days, and faking insanity to write an “insider’s” expose of life in a New York Lunatic Asylum, this book offered little encouragement to young ladies aspiring to similar success - perhaps because it was written by an English man, albeit one who was about to find literary fame of his own. Identified on the title-page only as editor of a women’s magazine, this was the first book of non-fiction by Arnold Bennett, future author of “Old Wives’ Tale”, whose first novel had appeared only a week or two before. Lightly bumped at spine ends and corners, spine head with two tiny tears; fine internally; very good. (200/300)

THE LONDON STAGE IN THE TIME OF DICKENS 25. (Dickens, Charles - British Theater) [Manby, Charles]. Archive of 45 Autograph Letters, most written to Charles Manby from London. 45 autograph letters. The majority dated in the 1860s and ‘70s, 2 after his death. London: 1841-87 (mostly in the 1860s-70s) Manby (1804-1884) was one of the most prominent British engineers of the mid-19th cen- tury, his long career beginning when he assisted his father in building and sailing the world’s first sea-going iron steamboat. Moving spirit of the British Institute of Civil Engineers at the height of the era of invention, he was also Samuel Colt’s personal choice to oversee the Ameri- can’s firearms establishment in London – in which capacity, in 1854, he gave a personal tour of Colt’s gun-making factory to his “great friend” Charles Dickens, one of Manby’s many literary acquaintances. Remarkably, while Manby was widely respected for “his intimate knowledge of the most important and gravest paths of the scientific world”, at the same time, he was “associ- ated with the inner circles of the most brilliant theatrical society.” This odd connection came about through his friendship with Frederick Henry Yates, the Shakespearean actor who owned the Adelphi Theater in London. When Yates died in 1842, Manby, being guardian of Yates’ young son Edmund (the future dramatist and novelist) also became executor of Yates’ estate – which inadvertently made him business manager of the Adelphi at the time the theater was staging dramatic adaptations of many Dickens stories, including A Christmas Carol. None of these letters seem to mention Dickens by name (though there are numerous references to Manby in Dickens own papers), but many concern Theater business – from an 1843 letter by “Brown

Page 6 Stout Ale” proprietor Frederick Hodgson about the fate of the Adelphi after Yates’ death; to an 1860 business note by actor Paul Bedford. This archive is largely un-researched and most of the correspondents not identified, but it’s possible that detailed study would provide much historical background about the Adelphi and the London stage in general during the last twenty years of Dickens’ life. Wear to each; mostly very good. (200/300)

26. (Dickens, Charles) 1868 ticket to hear Charles Dickens in New York. Printed ticket stub on salmon colored paper. 4.5x6 cm. (1¾x2¼”). Monday, March 23, 1868 “Mr. Charles Dickens’s READING. Monday, March 23, 1868. To commence at Eight o’clock precisely. This portion of the ticket must be preserved to insure possession of the seat. FLOOR, Right. Row 1, No. 3”. The famous British author’s second trip to America, two years after the Civil War, lasted for five months, from November 1867 to April 1868. It was filled with public readings in Boston, Philadelphia, , Hartford, Providence, Rochester and Baltimore which netted Dickens tens of thousands of dollars, but left him ill and homesick. Many of these recitations from popular works like Pickwick, Christmas Carol, and David Copperfield, were held in New York’s Steinway Hall; one was attended by , who was seated so far back from the speaker, that he could barely hear the words which “fell dead before they reached our part of the house”, Dickens being a “bad reader” who “does not enunciate… sharply and distinctly”, and spoke in an “Englishy” monotone, without “heart” or “feeling”. Nonetheless, whoever held this ticket was fortunate to secure a front row seat at one of Dickens’ last readings before he sailed away on April 23 – these events were in such great demand that a forger printed up thousands of fake tickets which he planned to sell to the unknowing public. The scheme was foiled by Dickens’ lecture manager who had the counterfeits destroyed and the type broken up and devised the stamp which appears on this ticket to discourage further forgery. With some wear, tear and discoloration and a rubberstamp used to prevent counterfeiting; very good. (400/600)

Free Negro Heads of Families in the United States in 1830, Together with a Brief Treatment of the Free Negro. 296 pp. Original green cloth (gilt lettering to spine largely flaked off). First Edition. Washington, D.C.: The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Inc., [copyright 1925] Carter Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D., often acclaimed the “Father of Black History” in America launched the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915 and, in 1920, founded the first African-American publishing company. The first ambitious Rockefeller-funded research project of the two institutions was a 1924 book about Free Negroes who owned slaves before the Civil War – not, understandably, a popular subject for historical inquiry. But it led, a year later, to this book, a geographic list of the names - taken from the larger US census of 1830 – of all “Free Negro” heads of families which comprised a surprising one-seventh of the entire African-American population, some half-million men, women and children. Apart from being a landmark of African-American genealogy which is still in print, the First Edition of this book is one of Woodson’s most rare publications. Spine ends a touch frayed, corners bumped, lightly soiled; very good. (300/500)

French Manuscript draft, unsigned, but undoubtedly in the author’s hand. 2 pp. [Paris]: [c.1838] After 14 years of French diplomatic service in Asia Minor and the Middle East, the Comte de Marcellus (1795-1865) retired to a literary life. While the former ambassador published half a dozen books, his most notable was this 1839 autobiographic memoir, Souvenirs de l’Orient, still cited for its now-controversial account of how, in 1820, on the Greek island of Melos, Marcellus, “rescued” one of the most beautiful sculptures of antiquity, the Venus de Milo. Whether Marcellus, son-in-law of the Curator of the Louvre, in his zeal to acquire the masterpiece for France before it could be shipped off to Constantinople, was responsible for the careless mishandling which led to its arms being severed and lost is still hotly debated. But these Souvenirs, never translated into English, remain the starting-point of historical argument, so it’s ironic that Marcellus himself had no notion of their future significance, instead offering the manuscript in this Prospectus, as an insider’s view of French diplomacy in war-torn Greece, Ottoman Turkey, Syria, Palestine and Egypt. With an unsigned French letter of 1855, commenting on Marcellus’ books and mentioning the Venus De Milo. Creased, some light wear and foxing; very good. (200/300)

179. (Archeology) 18th Century Manuscript on French Archeology Classic L’Antiquite Expliquee. Portion of an unsigned English Manuscript, undated, but ca. 1730-50, based on French Benedictine Monk Bernard Montfaucon’s L’Antiquite Expliquee (Antiquity Explained), which was first translated into English in the 1720s. 17 pages, numbered 2-10 and 15-22. No date [c.1730-50] While titled “from Montfaucon”, this does not appear to be a verbatim copy from the classic treatise by one of the founders of Archaeology and inventor of Paleography but rather part of an original essay based on Montfaucon’s writings by some learned English scholar, discussing the military and religious customs of the ancient Romans. Some wear, including faint dampstains at top edges of a few leaves; very good. (150/250)

Page 38 183. (Art - American) Dearborn, Nathaniel. Autograph letter, signed from a notable Boston engraver to Concord publishers. 1 pp. + stampless address leaf. Boston: Jan 31, 1840 To L.B. & L. Morrill, Concord, New Hampshire: “…the plates have been commenced on already and…by the first of March they will be completed and it will take every day till then to do it in the style expected. I shall then send you a proof from the plates, and pursuant to your offer, I shall expect the Amt of Eighty dollars forwarded on the receipt of the proof. The printing will be done and ready for you in a week afterwards – 500 copies as ordered..” Dearborn (1786- 1852), was one of the leading early wood engravers in Boston, as well as the author of two classic books about that city and its history, and a text-book about lettering by “pen, brush, chisel or graver”. He also produced notable maps of Boston and of the hotly-disputed Oregon boundary. The Morrills of Concord, to whom this letter was written, were bookbinders who had just formed the new book printing company, Morrill & Silsby. They became prolific publishers in the 1840s, one of their first major works being ship-builder Joseph Coe’s True American, a compilation of presidential addresses which contained fine engravings of Washington, Adams and Jefferson. These may have been the plates to which Dearborn refers, though he is not credited as the engraver, which may be true of much of his own artistic work. Small tear from original opening at wax seal; very good. (200/300)

Kennedy, was assassinated. “According to the printer, fewer than 1,000 test copies were printed. The launch date for the presentation of the book to the public was scheduled to be held on November 22, 1963 at Rizzoli’s. Obviously, the assassination brought an immediate halt to the project” from Guernsey’s catalogue description. In March 1998, Guernsey’s (in New York) offered what was then thought to be the only known copy, which went for $5000.00 in their Guernsey’s Auction of Kennedy Memorabilia. In this rare allowance, the Kennedy’s permitted Caroline to be commercialized and showcased in a book, showing the 6-year old in various historical dresses of the former U.S. Presidential First Ladies, as drawn by Charlotte Jetter. “The drawings are accompanied by descriptive narrations of the dresses which portray the styles worn in their respective eras. The book includes children’s poems about Caroline’s favorite dog and pony. Other poems include ‘The Twist’ and ‘The New Frontier.’ Author Arlene Dalton was a close friend of Jacqueline Kennedy who previously worked at Random House. Jacqueline took advantage of this opportunity to offer Arlene Dalton employment. In an attempt to procure a protective hold around her family, Jacqueline Kennedy involved herself at the highest level, personally supervising and approving every level of production, from publication to marketing. However, in an attempt to avoid any suggestion of Kennedy exploitation in this sensitive production, the book was written entirely independently and without any reference of Jacqueline Kennedy’s role” – from Guernsey’s description.

Page 60 274. (Labyrinth Editions) Whitman, Walt. Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking. Oblong elephant folio, 19¾x25½, original beige linen, semi-triangular aperture with typographical inlay, with ten stitched-in paper folders in which are laid the ten recto-printed leaves. No. 7 of 65 copies. Torrance, CA: Labyrinth Editions, 1976-78 Bold and controversial rendering of Whitman’s great poem. Signed by designer Richard Bigus in the colophon. An extraordinary book with a background as complex as its typography. The huge leaves were printed at the International Institute of Experimental Printmaking in Santa Cruz in 1976 and in San Francisco in 1978, and the Institute had planned to publish the edition. It was intended that the finished book also contain a cast paper portrait of Whitman by Garner H. Tullis. Tullis pulled out of the project, deciding that Bigus’s typographical designs had made his work of art superfluous. The book was finally published by Bigus’s own press in Torrance. The work has received high praise, but few fine-press works have been so bitterly vilified. [Printer’s Choice 54.] Offered at auction only twice in the past decade. This copy is in mint condition.

282. (Mining) Skyrme, William. Typed letter, signed to prominent California entrepreneur Asbury Harpending. 2 pp. To A[sbury] Harpending Esq. in New York. Chaparral South America: April 1, 1884 After three months of “thoroughly prospecting” a gold mine in the mountains of Colombia, Skyrme assures Harpending, its owner, that it was “one of the richest gravel mines I have ever seen. It is a Bonanza Mine and will go into the millions…It contains gold in paying quantities from surface to bed rock…The gold is heavy, bright and well worn, will be easily saved..The climate is healthy and the mine can run every day in the year…” He adds considerable detail about water could be brought in for hydraulic mining. The recipient of this glowing report was a prominent California entrepreneur, well-known for his 1913 autobiography, published in San Francisco, The Great Diamond Hoax and Other Stirring Incidents in the Life of Asbury Harpending, which details the spectacular 1872 fraud which was prelude to the financial ruin of banker William Ralston. Harpending’s memoir of how he became a multi-millionaire ends with the collapse of the “diamond bubble”, after which he decided to leave California for Wall Street. But he adds a few pages of sequel about the venture described in this letter – when “money- making intoxication” moved him to sink all his wealth into Colombian mining, including the “fabulous” gold mine hailed by Skyrme, which promised “inexhaustible” gold – until water brought in by a 23-mile long ditch collapsed the mountain above the mine and “millions of tons slid down”, burying the mine forever. “My fortune”, Harpending wrote in his book 30 years later, “was not lost. It is still intact, buried in the mountains” of Colombia. “I have no doubt that some adventurous speculator of the future, under happier conditions, will dig it out.” A few tiny holes and small tears to pages, much light soiling; very good.

296. (Occult) Bibliotheque du Magnetisme Animal [Library of Animal Magnetism]. Pages numbered 189-284 (complete). In French. (8vo), original blue printed wrappers. 6th Issue, December 1817.

This periodical appeared, two years after the death of Franz Anton Mesmer, when the flamboyant German physician’s practice of “Animal Magnetism” – what we now call Hypnosis – was still considered as much in the realm of the occult and paranormal as medical and scientific, though the last essay in this issue hails the “magnetic cures” of maladies like tumors and paralysis by a French priest and Mesmer devotee.

Page 65 297. (Occult) Melchael (probably a Cabbalistic pseudonym). Autograph letter, signed “Melchael” to Eugene Vintras, the exiled prophet of a banned French satanic cult. 1 page + stamped, postmarked address leaf. Paris: June 19, 1859 To “Monsieur Eugene” [Eugene Vintras], 33 Road Mary-le-Bone, London. In French, untranslated, but writes to “my dear father, friend and brother” about work on the “unfinished sanctuary” with the “help of my brothers and sisters at Carmel”. The recipient, Pierre Michel Eugene Vintras (1807-1875) was a Normandy peasant who saw mystical visions which led him to organize a French cult which believed that the son of Louis XVII and Marie Antoinette did not die in prison but would be restored by heaven to the French throne. His followers considered this strange visionary, who suffered from “bloody sweats”, to be a prophet, if not a new Christ; detractors claimed he was in league with the Devil. After a disenchanted adherent published allegations that the cult’s private chapel was the scene of Black Masses which Vintras, a homosexual, conducted in the nude, masturbating while praying at the altar, as well as “horrible obscenities” and “unspeakable abominations”, Vintras was condemned by the Pope, arrested for fraud, and imprisoned for five years, after which he found refuge in England, where he was living when he received this letter from a diehard supporter in France. Described by historians as a “king of black magic” in the Cagliostro tradition, and “one of the most extraordinary of the many bizarre figures” of a mid-century French occult revival, Vintras’ “Church of Carmel” came to enjoy “a modest prosperity” with branches in England, Spain, Belgium and Italy, and persisted after his death, drawing “many Grand Masters of the Arcane Orders” who “continued to move in the shadows of the ongoing mystic and esoteric movements” of the late 19th century. Some tearing from original opening at wax seal, a bit yellow at address; very good. (250/350)

Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500. The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is sent within 20 banking days of an auction.
