II Septemlber 1852 in Biddeford, Maine, the son of Benjamin (a ship owner and sea-captain) and Mary Merrill Mosher (two sisters: Sara Elizabeth and Lila Josephine Primrose). The two trips TBM made to sea with his father in 1862 - the first a daring run down the Atlantic coast to New Orleans, transporting Northern troops, the other with the entire family to England - were a prelude to the grand tour 'before the mast' made in his adolescence that would so dramatically shape his later life. In 1866, after completing grammar school in Boston, instead of continuing with his formal education, he joined his father in Hamburg and embarked on a three-year voyage of literary discovery opened up for him by the 34 volumes of Bell's British Theatre (1792) that his father bought for him in Germany. 1870-1882 Apprenticeship and MIarriage.Returning to Portland in the summer of 1870, TBM enrolled briefly (perhaps for a single day) in Phillips Exeter Academy; afterwards, he took a job as clerk with Dresser and McLellan in Portland, a firm dealing in law reports, stationer's supplies, and textbookts. On to December I870, he secretly married Eleanor S. Dresser; the couple remarried on 4 July 187 I, and took up residence in Portland. Ellie deserted him on 13 September 1879 and moved to New York City; TBM divorced her three years later, on 25 September 1882. In 1875, while on a brief summer vacation in Springfield, Massachusetts, TBM met Leopold Lobsitz (1858-I879), with whom he shared many literary interests and to whom in 9I2I he dedicated his Amphora. During these years, Tax worked at various jobs in Portland, New York, Philadelphia, and, for a longer period, in St. Louis, where he clerked in a bookstore. 1882-1890 Businessman. In December 1882, Tax became a junior partner, with his former employer, Ruel T. McLellan, in the firm of McLellan, Mosher & Co. which gave him both business and publishing experience; in these years, he published a preface to George J. Varney's A Brief History of Mlaine, his first piece of extended writing, and began collecting bookts in earnest. His father died on 12 December 1885. In 1890, his business failed, and BMw, nearly 40, cast his eyes towards publishing. So Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada xxvI 1890- Publisherand Litterateur: Ten launched his publishing career in premises at 37 (later 45) Exchange St., Portland, Maine, and issued his first work, a reprint of Meredith's Modern Love, in October 1891. On 2 July I892, he married Anna M. Littlefield, who bore him two sons (Harrison Hume, b. 8 January I896, and Thomas Bird, Jr., b. 31 March 1907, the year of TBM's mother's death). In 1894, he issued his first catalogue, and in I895 started The Bibelot (which ran till 1914); the same year he was elected to the Grolier Club. In 19ol, he travelled to England, where he met many of his authors. Bowdoin College awarded him an honorary M.A. in 1906. He suffered a stroke in 1909, and died on 3 I August 1923. During the 30 years he ran the Mosher Press, he published nearly 800 separate items. 1923- Postlude. Following TBM's death, Flora Lamb, his secretary since 1897, carried on the business with Mrs. Mosher, issuing reprints and a few privately printed books. The firm was sold to the Williams Book Store of Boston in December 1941. TBM's library was sold at Parke- Bernet Galleries on lo-II May 1948.

  • A Panoply of Acquisitions and Other Updates
    A Panoply of Acquisitions and Other Updates It has been some time since I updated the new acquisitions to the Mosher Collection. It’s not that I haven’t been buying; it’s just that I haven’t taken the time to provide these updates and stories of how some of these items made their way to the collection. So without further ado, here are a few of the books and brief stories of what has transpired since my early 2019 posting. BOOKS FROM MOSHER’S LIBRARY Rose Leaf & Apple Leaf: There have been some really interesting additions for this part of the collection, exciting enough to at least rouse my passions. The first is something which found me rather than the other way around. At the March 2019 NYC Book Fair, Cliff Graubart of the Old New York Book Shop (Atlanta, GA) set up next to me. While we were both unpacking our books, Cliff says to me that he brought along something unusual related to Mosher and that he had trouble deciding what it actually was or what he’d charge for it. Now that’s enough of an introduction to pique my attention any day of the week, so after just about everything was in place, he pulls out this little somewhat shabby looking book without its covers and the remaining book block protected by acetate. The book presented to me for examination was the “edition de luxe” edition of Rennell Rodd’s ROSE LEAF AND APPLE LEAF. With an Introduction by Oscar Wilde. Philadelphia, PA: J.M.

  • Thomas Bird Mosher and the Literature of Rapture: a Chapter in the History of American Publishing Wvilliam E. Fredeman
    Thomas Bird Mosher and the Literature of Rapture: A Chapter in the History of American Publishing WVilliam E. Fredeman It is a curious irony of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which in England dates roughly from the building of Red House and the founding of the Firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. in the 1860s, that its latest endeavour, printing, should be its most lasting legacy. Morris & Co. had been in opera- tion for over thirty years, engaged in the manufacture of furniture, carpets, tapestries, wallpapers, stained glass, and other artefacts, when Morris launched his Kelmscott Press. Its first title, The Story of the Glittering Plain,issued in April 1891, followed two experiments, under the Chiswick Press imprint, and represented, for Morris, the culmination of a long inter- est in publishing. Virtually at the inception of The Earthly Paradisein 1865, he had planned with Burne-Jones an illustrated edition of that work, the history of which is meticulously traced by Joseph Dunlap in The Book That Never Was (197I). That it never was, delayed, perhaps by two decades, the private press movement that burgeoned on both sides of the Atlantic in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Apologists for William Morris argue strongly for the primacy of his influence, but while Morris & Co. had established a showroom in New York as early as 188I, it was only one of several organs promoting the arts and crafts. In 1884, A.H. Mackmurdo and Selwyn Image founded the Cen- tury Guild and issued an abortive single number of the journal the Hobby Horse, which was revived two years later.

  • 'My Dear Miss Brachvogel…' – a Ms Version of A
    ‘My dear Miss Brachvogel…’ A Ms Version of a Yeats Quatrain The friends that have it I do wrong When ever I remake a song, Should know what issue is at stake: It is myself that I remake. (CWVP2, epigraph) Philip R. Bishop On 6 June 1908 Susan Mary (Lily) Yeats Boarded an ocean liner to return to Dublin without her father, John Butler Yeats. Her original plan was to tend a Booth at the New York Irish Exhibition in January,1 But her stay was extended in the hope of convincing her father to return home with her. John Butler Yeats had enjoyed his time in New York too much and resisted returning to Dublin where old perceived failings, both financial and family, awaited him.2 Accompanying Lily Yeats on the return voyage was a slender Mosher Press3 Book given her in safe keeping By a young, well- educated German-American woman she Befriended sometime during her five month stay in the States, Clara Brachvogel. 1 Travel and room & Board arrangements were made By P. T. Power, a show manager and promoter in Irish sales in New York who was familiar with John Quinn. Power not only paid for Lily Yeats representing the Dun Emer Industries (her father using other funds donated By his friends), But also reluctantly Backed the quarrelsome Evelyn Gleeson who represented the Dun Emer Guild. The two segments of the Business were in contention, finally leading to their split in 1907 when Lily Yeats and her sister ElizaBeth (Lolly) Yeats formed the Cuala. See William M.

  • Annotated Bibliography
    The William Morris Collection at the Archives and Rare Books Library, University of Cincinnati By Lilia Walsh Author’s note: This bibliography has been divided into sections by subject. All volumes written by Morris appear in the ‘Translated/written by William Morris’ section, even if they were also printed at Kelmscott. Translated/Written by William Morris Morris, William. The Earthly Paradise, a Poem (Author's ed.). Boston: Roberts brothers, 1868. ARB RB PR5075 .A1 1868 Arguably the most popular of Morris’s written works; this novel made Morris’s name as a poet. It tells the story of twelve Norwegian sailors who flee the black plague and set off to look for the ‘earthly paradise’. They end up on an isolated island, which houses the last vestiges of an ancient Greek civilization. The book is made up of several poems, which are tied to the twelve months of the year, paralleling the 12 sailors. Morris, William. Letter to Aglaia Ionides Coronio. 24 October. 1872. ARB RB PR5083. A43 1872 See attached (or web linked) transcription and annotation. A three and a half page folded letter on one piece of paper with some repairs to original folds. Morris, William. Chants for Socialists. London: Socialist League Office, 1885. ARB RB PR5078 .C4 1885 Bound in red leather and red linen, with gold embossed title. Appears to be an inexpensive ‘propaganda’ pamphlet which has been but in a quality binding. Literally a collection of verse chants, designed to spread the message and dreams of the socialists; “For then – laugh not, but listen, to this strange tale of mine- all folk of England shall be better lodged than swine.
