Title in Japanese: Onna reishiki. 9 folded crepe leaves [i.e., 18] pp. total, including front and back cover, 10 full-page color woodblocks in all, including title-page and covers. 7G x 9I inches, To- kyo: Akiyama Aisaburo, [1896]. Sewn. OCLC records only Columbia. $1,000 A fine crepe-paper Japanese color woodblock book from the same period and in the same charming tradition which produced the beloved “Japanese Fairy Tales” published by Hasegawa. According to this publisher, “The object of the present publication is to give insights into those captivating arts which are considered essential to the education of young women” (Preface). The arts, each illustrated with a colored woodblock, include: Flower Arranging (Ike- bana); Miniature Gardens (Bon-seki); The Tea Ceremonial (Cha-no-yu); Poem Composing (Uta-no-kwai); Musical Conversazione (Ongaku-kwai); Needle Work (Hari-Shigoto). James Cummins Bookseller 2. ALKEN, Henry. The National Sports of Great Britain, with Descrip- tions in English and French... Chasse et Amusemens Nationaux de la Grande Bretagne. Parallel titles and text in English and French, text leaves with numerical signatures from 1-50. Hand-colored engraved additional title, 50 hand-colored aquatint plates by I. Clark after Henry Alken. (Final two plates and final two text leaves with silver-fish loss to blank margins). Folio (18I x 12G inches), London: Published by Thomas McLean, 1823 [but later, plates watermarked 1822-1824]. First edition. Contemporary black straight-grained morocco, the covers elaborately panelled in gilt, the spine in six compartments with raised bands, let- tered in the second compartment, the others with elaborate repeat pat- tern built up from small tools, gilt turn ins, cream-glazed endpapers, red morocco inner hinges, gilt edges (scuffed, endpapers and blanks with silver-fish damage). Tooley 41; Schwerdt I, p. 19; Podeschi 111; Litchfield #14. $30,000 A fine copy of “Alken’s most important work... It must always form the cor- nerstone of any Alken collection” (Tooley). The plates and text between them offer a thorough survey of the sports prac- ticed in Great Britain in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The sub- jects covered including riding, fox, stag and otter hunting, beagling, racing, falconry, various types of dogs and horses, shooting grouse, partridge, pheas- ant, snipe, wild-fowl, bittern, pigeon, fishing for pike, and salmon, fishing from a punt, prize-fighting, cock-fighting, badger, bear, and bull-baiting and perhaps most extraordinary of all: “owling.” It is interesting to note that although both the artist and the author of the text felt that it was necessary to record bad- ger, bear and bull baiting, they did not refrain from condemning all three as barbaric. This copy is a later issue/impression. The additional pictorial title is dated 1821 (rather than 1820, as in the first issue), a letterpress title in French has been added (only the English title is present in the first and second issues) and the explanatory text leaves are signed consecutively from 1 to 50 (Podeschi records an intermediate state/issue where only some of the text leaves are numbered). The watermarks suggest a date of 1824 or later. The plates, very carefully hand-colored, are all aquatints by I. Clark, and retain all of the liveli- ness that is such a feature of this work. The artist Henry Thomas Alken was born into what became a sporting artistic dynasty. He studied under the miniature painter J.T. Barber and exhibited his first picture (a miniature portrait) at the Royal Academy when he was sixteen. From about 1816 onwards he “produced paintings, drawings and engravings of every type of field and other sporting activity. He is best remembered for his hunting prints, many of which he engraved himself until the late 1830s ... To many, sporting art is ‘Alken’, and to describe his work or ability is quite un- necessary” (Charles Lane British Racing Prints, pp.75-76). 2 Fall Miscellany Catalogue 107 James Cummins Bookseller alken sporting plates 3.

ARMSTRONG, Louis. Typed Letter, signed (“Louis Satchmo Armstrong”) regarding Jack Teagarden, to Howard Waters, author of Jack Teagarden’s Music, His Career And Recordings (1960). 2 pp., on two sheets of “Satchmo” letterhead, with numerous corrections in pen in the text of the letter. 4to, Corona [Queens], New York, February 6, 1956. Single vertical fold; the two sheets stapled. Very good. $5,000 One of the most resonant statements imaginable from one musician — in this case, the most important jazz musician of the 20th century — regarding another. The irrepressible Satchmo writes with uninhibited enthusiasm of his eminent collaborator and long-time friend, trombonist Jack Teagarden, about whom Waters evidently was preparing an article: 5 James Cummins Bookseller “‘O my Gawd — I do hope that I’ve not gone and missed the grandest opportunity that I have been waiting for years … to have the thrill of telling to the wide wide world the exact way that I feel over Jack Teagarden and his trombone playings … Yea, Jack’s my man … We have so many musical memories in common … I don’t actually know where to start … First, he’s a Human Being … God knows he is … Every time Jack picks up a trombone, you can bet your bottom dollar that something’s coming out of that horn real pretty. No matter if it’s sweet hot jazzy or dixieland … He really moves me whenever he just puts his horn to his chops … the man is just born for the trombone … The trombones were all made to blend with the Jackson first ; And that’s the way it is with Ol Satchmo until some one will prove to me that I am wrong … “When i said Jack’s a Human, what I personally mean by that is, he impressed me, more than just a musician … He’s the type of Ofay Boy that you (a negroe) can work with the rest of your life and there’ll never be any thing but good music and the fondest of appreciation of each other. In other words, he can’t be not a thing but our boy and Idol … “P.S. Out on the south side of Chicago where the Regal and the Savoy used to romp, years ago, a colored fellow who had just read in the evening newspapers where Louis Armstrong and his All Stars are getting ready to make a long long tour, all through the South. This young man made it his business to ask me right away … Is Jack Teagarden going on the southern tour with you, Satch? Immediately I answered him, saying, sure Jack’s going on the tour , furthermore, who am I to tell a white man that he can’t go south …P.S. It slayed that cat … “Am yours musically, and I hope that Jack Teagarden blows his horn for ever. He’s my man, personified. Wow.” “are you ‘loosning???????’ … wow.” 5. ARMSTRONG, Louis and Lucille. Typed manuscript, inscribed and signed (“To Mr. Howard J. Waters | Louis Armstrong”) of his diet booklet “Lose Weight the ‘Satchmo’ Way. 3 pp., on rectos of three sheets. 4to, N.p., n.d. [ca. 1956?]. Outer edges a bit worn, one corner dog-eared, other corner stapled.
