The lot commences with a t.l.s., 20 January 1976, from Jonathan Williams, 1/3 page on Jargon letterhead, relating to the arrangements for Bunting to appear at Yale during his proposed spring tour. This is followed by a 7 March 1976 t.l.s. from Bunting, on personal letterhead, to Harrison, reading in part: “It seems to me that the poem I enclose is the least unfitted of my making to be set up as a broadsheet. It has been printed more than once in magazines, but I have nothing new at all to offer you. I am not fond of broadsheets and posters, but since you find it necessary to raise fund[s], go ahead. Yours faithfully B Bunting.” Accompanying the letter is single sheet unidentified uncorrected rough proof printing of the poem, signed in ink by Bunting and dated 1971. The proof exhibits at least one typo (corrected in ink by Bunting) and some setting irregularities. It is set in sans serif type, thus perhaps distinguishing it from the poem’s appearance in the Autumn/Winter Pound issue of Agenda. The lot concludes with a [2 June] 1977 t.l.s. from Jonathan Williams, discussing a number of things, but also acknowledging receipt of some copies of the broadside (“...Looks good and that paper was obviously a great temptation to print on. Only wish there had been room for the woodblock. I liked it ... I kept #1, greedily, and #s 11 through 19...”). Accompanied by Harrison’s retained copy (also #1). $600.

Crosby served with the American Field Service and the Ambulance Corps during the Great War, experiences which left an indelible mark on his personality and world-view. The letters are preceded by a chronology and brief Preface by Henrietta Crosby. While not a particularly scarce book, the binding of this, the last Paris Black Sun imprint, is particularly vulnerable to wear and deterioration to the joints and this is an unusually nice copy. MINKOFF A43. $2000.

163. [Black Sun Press]: Joyce, James: COLLECTED POEMS OF JAMES JOYCE. New York: The Black Sun Press, 1936. Decorated white paper boards, ribbon marker. Portrait by Augustus John.

Bollingen Series I 175. [Bollingen Series]: King, Jeff; Maud Oakes, and Joseph Campbell: WHERE THE TWO CAME TO THEIR FATHER A NAVAHO WAR CEREMONIAL. New York: Pantheon Books / Bollingen Series, [1943]. [8],84,[4]pp. Quarto book of text, in printed wrappers, accompanied by printed cloth portfolio (62 x 47 cm) with ribbon ties, containing eighteen original color pochoir prints. The upper and lower paper folding flaps enclosing the plates are a bit rumbled and snagged, slight bumps to extreme lower corner of a few plates, some occasional isolated marginal smudges or tiny spots (some inherent in paper), otherwise an unusually nice set, very good to near fine.

The uncommon and beautiful first edition of the first publication in the numbered sequence of the Bollingen Series, and one of the most elaborate productions to appear under its imprint. Jeff King (Hashkeh-yilth-e-yah; 1865-1964) lived on the Pinedale Navaho Reservation, and performed this ritual on the occasion of the departure of Navaho men to serve in the US Army during WWII. Oakes, who was then living on the reservation, was allowed to record the two day ceremony, and kept a record of the elaborate sandpaintings that are integral to the ritual. Based on his service as an Army scout from 1891-1911, King was the first Navaho to be interred at Arlington National Cemetery. The Bollingen Series, published under the auspices of the Bollingen Foundation with the support of Paul Mellon and his first wife, Mary, has to be reckoned one of the most ambitious and significant publishing enterprises of the 20th century. And it was highly appropriate that it was inaugurated by this beautiful production incorporating commentary by Joseph Campbell, who was long associated with the Series as author and editor. $1750.

An illustrated leaf from the Cranach Hamlet, one of a number of leaves evidently removed by a former owner from an imperfect copy. One of the masterworks of 20th century fine printing, illustrated with original woodcuts by E. Gordon Craig, Hamlet was published in an edition of three hundred numbered copies printed under the direction of Count Harry Kessler on Maillol-Kessler handmade paper (with an additional twenty-two deluxe copies). The present leaf is the half-title with a woodcut of a seated figure, with knees drawn up, holding a book, leaning against a pile of grain sacks, with the verso bearing the single line copyright notice. The text was edited by J. Dover Wilson from the 1604/5 second quarto edition, and was accompanied by “the Hamlet Stories from Saxo Grammaticus and Belleforest and English translations therefrom.” A German language printing appeared in 1928. “Together with the Maillol Virgil, this is one of the most ambitious and successful books of the Cranach Press, with a fine harmony between the type page and the illustration” - Artist and the Book.

Inscribed: “Robert Gregory from WB Yeats September 1903.” William Robert Gregory, Lady Gregory’s only child, was born in 1881. An accomplished artist, he prepared stage designs for several of the Abbey Theatre productions, and came to represent for Yeats a personification of the admirable qualities attending aristocratic grace. In late 1913, he enlisted in the Connaught Rangers, and later transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. On 23 January 1918, Lady Gregory was notified that he died after being shot down over northern Italy. While their relationship was not always tranquil, particularly in terms of Robert Gregory and his wife’s feelings about Yeats’s frequent lengthy stays at Coole, Yeats immortalized him in “An Irish Airman Foresees His Death,” and “In Memory of Robert Gregory,” collected in The Wild Swans at Coole (1919). Presentation copies from Yeats to Robert Gregory are rare, and this item, formerly in the Gilvarry Collection, may be the only one to appear in the marketplace in the last three decades. WADE 49.

Yeats inscribed John Quinn’s copy: “Red Hanrahan is an imaginary name - I saw it over a shop, or rather part of it over a shop in Galway village - but there were many poets like him in the eighteenth century in Ireland. I wrote these stories first in literary English but I could not get any sense of the village life with the words.

“The troubling of my life began....” - Inscribed to Maud Gonne 405. [Dun Emer Press]: Yeats, William Butler: DISCOVERIES; A VOLUME OF ESSAYS. Dundrum: Dun Emer Press, 1907. Linen-backed boards.

Corners bruised, edges shelfworn, boards a bit soiled with two small ink spots on upper board; a good copy, internally, apart from some light foxing to the final gathering, near fine. With the book label of John Sparrow. First edition. One of two hundred copies printed. Inscribed on the title-page: “Maud Gonne from her friend WB Yeats.” Almost from their first meeting in January of 1889, until their last in 1938, Yeats’s love for Maud Gonne was inextricably woven into both his life and his work to a degree that raises their relationship to the level of one of the greatest literary romances of the modern age. Margery Brady’s The Love Story of Yeats & Maud Gonne (1990) is but one of the many treatments, in whole or in part, of their relationship, and she quotes from Yeats’s Memoirs his recollection of the resonance of their first meeting: “I have never thought to see in a living woman so great beauty. It belonged to famous pictures, to poetry, to some legendary past. A complexion like the blossoms of apples and yet her face and body had the beauty of lineaments which Blake calls the highest beauty because it changes least from youth to age, and a stature so great that she seemed of a divine race ... she brought into my life ... a sound of a Burmese Gong, an overpowering tumult that had yet many pleasant secondary notes.” Discoveries was formally published on 15 December, and that month, Gonne wrote Yeats from Paris about this book: “’Discoveries’ I like very much. I don’t always agree with your philosophy, but it is very living...” (Gonne-Yeats Letters, 191). Among potential Yeats associations, there is very little (if anything) better that one can aspire to own. Physical relics of the relationship have generally been elusive: in the summer of 1905, Gonne’s volatile husband John MacBride made off with her copies of Yeats’s books, “for their presence had always annoyed him considerably” (Gonne-Yeats Letters, pp.208-9), and in 1923, her home in Dublin was ransacked by forces for the Free State and her papers burned. During the two decades in which the former owner’s collection was either actively or passively maintained, this was the sole Yeats presentation to Gonne known to him to appear for sale, until the copy of The Book of the Rhymers’ Club, bearing Yeats’s 9 Feb. 1892 inscription to her, and the stamps of “L’Irlande Libre / 6 Rue Martyn / Paris” (almost assuredly tying it to the 1905 action by McBride) was sold in the first session of the Neville sale (Sotheby’s, New York 13 April 2004, lot 262, $27,600).

[Elder Imprint]: Maybeck, Bernard R.: PALACE OF FINE ARTS AND LAGOON PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, 1915. San Francisco: Paul Elder and Company, [1915]. Narrow small octavo. Publisher’s forest green leather, stamped in orange. Frontis and plate in photogravure. Spine a shade sunned, with rubbing at tips, but an otherwise fine copy, partially unopened. First edition of this monograph by Maybeck on his design for the Palace, amplified from a speech he delivered to the Commonwealth Club, with an introduction by Frank M. Todd. One of the two photogravures is directly attributed to William Hood, the Southern Pacific RR Chief Engineer and amateur photographer, and it is likely the frontispiece is by him as well. This copy is in the publisher’s rather uncommon deluxe binding, and is accompanied by an original silver print (165 x 90 mm) of a photograph of a different view of the Palace and Lagoon, at night, with fireworks, tipped to a larger sheet of stiff card. While there is no way to confirm that it originally accompanied this book on publication, it is of appropriate vintage, and sympathetic in style to Hood’s photo of the Palace and Lagoon on “A Foggy Night” which is the basis for the second photogravure in the book. The silver print is oxidized toward the edges, but the image is not obscured significantly. This slim publication is the highly important and influential Bay-area architect’s only book. $650.

Britannica. “... Authoritative [and] rare ... printed in Paris probably by Le Gras” - Rostenberg & Stern, The House Of Elzevir, 27 (referencing this edition in their offering of the 1661 edition). “Jolie édition, dont les exemplaires grands de marge et bien conservés sont fort recherchés” - Brunet.

The second collective Elzevier printing of the first two parts of the Contes et Nouvelles en Vers, with the addition of the “Dissertation sur la Joconde, A Monsieur B***.” Brunet describes the first printing of this edition, which appeared in 1668, as an “Édition plus jolie et plus compléte que la précédente en ce qui concerne La Fontaine.” It was reprinted again in 1673. La Fontaine’s Contes et Nouvelles en Vers were published in successive editions, with additions, from 1664 through 1674, and consist of “tales drawn from Ariosto, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, and other sources, mostly light licentious tales ... devoid of serious thought, told with grace and charm. They have been gravely censured on the score of immorality, but they did not offend contemporary readers ... La Fontaine, when converted in his old age, made a public disavowal of the Contes” - OCFL. This printing, as well as that of the preceding year, are institutionally rare, with two locations of this printing in OCLC: at Princeton and at the Morgan Library. TCHEMERZINE VI:372.

Inscribed by the author, most likely ca. the late 1970s: “For Lee Nobody knows the truth about this book - Larry.” The sentiment expressed in the author’s inscription remains appropriate today, in light of several descriptions associated with copies of the uncorrected and corrected printings currently listed online. In fact, copies of the uncorrected printing did enter trade distribution, although genuine efforts were made by the publisher to retrieve them, and a good number of other copies were distributed through other channels. $1500.

[London: Essex House Press, 1901]. Drab wrappers, printed in black. Pictorial title and initials by George Thomson. Textblock browned, and a few early leaves neatly detached, else good and sound. The “Stereotype Edition” of the first book printed at the press in the ‘Endeavour’ type, printed on a rather poor quality laid paper. The limited edition on handmade paper consisted of 350 copies, and this more humble and (presumably) unlimited edition for the common folk replicates it except for the modification to the colophon. This printing is not recorded in Tomkinson, Ransom or Ridler, and does not turn up in OCLC. $275.

453.

One of 400 copies on paper and ten on vellum, printed in the Endeavour and Prayer Book types designed by Ashbee. Tomkinson asserts that only fifty copies of the insert were printed, specifically to accompany those copies sent to America. The selection of the pigskin for binding was not necessarily wise, as without careful attention, the joints dry and crack (as here). A special adapted reprint was eventually prepared for American distribution by M. Walter Dunne. GRIFFITH 1904.1. RANSOM (ESSEX) 37. TOMKINSON (ESSEX) 37 & 39. $1650.

The eight original etchings by Louise A. Moss are intaglios printed by hand on Rives heavyweight papers, each numbered and signed by the artist. This copy bears the artist’s signed presentation inscription on the colophon. A rather attractive and uncommon book. The selection of text paper, however, appears to have been unfortunate, as a couple of gatherings are affected by a very light flecking inherent to the stock. $400.

Apart from his lavish 1987 limited edition of the Barcelona Columbus letter of 1493, with additional material featuring lithographs and etchings by Juan Antonio Roda and co-published with the New York Public Library, Ferrer’s work is poorly represented in American institutional collections. $800.

May 28th 1924.” Graves had two poems accepted for publication in the December 1922 issue of The Fugitive, of which Ransom was co-editor. The two poets embarked on a path of mutual admiration and assistance, Ransom asking if he might dedicate a book to Graves (“...because you represent as I see it the best tendency extant in modern poetry”), and Graves seeking a British publisher for Ransom’s work, a task he completed with the editing of Grace After Meat, to which Graves also contributed an introduction. As a side note, Ransom was instrumental in forwarding Graves’ interest in, and acquaintance with, Laura Riding, who was then publishing in The Fugitive and had recently been making life complicated for certain members of the Vanderbilt circle. He sent to Graves some of her unpublished verse, and described her as “brilliant,” and in a fine example of understated diplomacy, as “very fine personally, but very intense for company.” WOOLMER 46.

The text consists of three previously printed pieces by Gertrude Stein on Pablo Picasso: “Picasso” (1909); “If I Told Him: A Completed Portrait of Picasso” (1923); and Picasso (1938).

The CD of the performance by Suzzan Craig, pianist, was recorded at Steinway Hall, New York City, 1992. The CD is fitted into a specially designed compartment within the box, but the execution of the compartment, involving Velcro tabs to hold the CD, was flawed: at least one of the tabs does not adhere well to the cloth board, and consequently the adhesive side comes into contact with the CD, leaving a residue on the data side of the CD, rendering it unplayable. Consequently, offered at less than publication price: $400.

One of Twenty Copies 737. Knowles, Alison, and Amanda Degener [designer & printmaker]: TAMASHI. [Minneapolis: Cave Paper, Inc., 2002]. Continuous circular 12 section accordion fold paper construction. Fine, enclosed in a decorative paper over boards clamshell box (24.5 x 21 cm) with inset.

First edition. Copy #2 of twenty numbered copies signed by Knowles and Degener. The content includes texts from George Quasha and Chie Higaswa’s book, Ainu Dreams, and William Romains book, Mysteries of the Hopewell, along with “o” words selected from a dictionary. Fashioned into the work is a CD of a performance by Knowles and Degener recorded by Robert Hughes. The accordion folded circular construction was screen printed on walnut dyed handmade flax paper, with assistance by Michael Braman. The box was made by Wilber Schilling of Indulgence Press. Artists’ statement: “ Tamashi the book is inspired by the native Japanese word for spirit, Tamashi. D.T. Suzuki’s text contrasts Tamashi with the Chinese word for spirit, Jing Shen. The Chinese word sets the material against the spiritual and therefore projects duality. By contrast the Japanese word suggests a sense of spirit that is finally non-separable from the material. This book explores the balance of our material and spirit world. The book holds words and an image in kallitype form of the Hopewell Serpentine Mound. From what we know of the Hopewell people who made the Mound they paid attention to their ecosystem. They had feelings towards the natural world that we more typically reserve for other humans: empathy, compassion, and care. Tamashi is coordinated and composed into a 28-inch handmade flax paper circle. Using natural dyes the earth is a walnut brown and the night sky, indigo blue. Where the walnut and indigo overlap a third color is created, deeper and richer than the other two could be alone. Roundness, as opposed to square or triangular seemed the proper shape to express this concept of the inseparable nature of spirit/idea and material. The goal was to make no distinction between the idea, and the expressive quality of the work materials, they become one. The cyclical nature of breathing is essentially round, to inhale to exhale and then inhale again over and over. Nature also is cyclical with the passing repeating seasons: earth, seed, spirit, plant and back to earth again are the words that circle the sphere. This book is a wheel, a turning wheel that transforms to fit in the hand.” $500. 738. [Koch, Peter (printer)]: Sparks, Drew, and Sally Kellman: A SALON AT LARKMEAD.
