Travels Into Several Remote Nations Of The World (Gulliver's Travels)
by Swift, Jonathan
- Used
- Hardcover
Waltham Saint Lawrence, Berkshire, [England]: The Golden Cockerel Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1925. Limited/Numbered Edition. Hardcover. Common to this edition, both volumes have a sun-darkened spine, and the cover cloth has overall soiling. Volume 1: The paper band has two scrapes and an area of abrasion with surface loss to the front, an area of abrasion loss to the back, minor chipping to edges, and the cloth has light reddish staining to the back. Volume II: The paper band has an area of abrasion with surface loss to the front, a scrape and an area of abrasion loss to the back, and minor chipping to edges.; One of the finest works of fiction in English literature, it's a once a fantastic, imagined voyage and a biting, on-target satire of English politics, customs, and society. The stupidity of war is illustrated by Lilliput going to war with Blefuscu in a dispute over which end of an egg should be broken. In this first-person narrative by Lemuel Gulliver, surgeon and sea captain, the nautical content, mapping, and realistic descriptions give the book accuracy, but don't get in the way of this fictional masterpiece. This 2-volume set from The Golden Cockerel Press is set 142 of the limited edition of 450 sets. Written by Swift in 1726, this 1925 edition reproduces the text from the Henry G. Bohn edition of 1864. Includes forty, strongly-styled, wood engravings by David Jones, the majority are hand-colored, and all are present. An additional engraving, presumably by Jones, is the colophon's chanticleer device of the Golden Cockerel Press. He created some, not all, of the book's decorative capitals. A polymath, Jones was a painter, modernist poet, and wood engraver. This book was his first work for Golden Cockerel Press. Volume I: Begins with The Publisher's Note to the Reader, by Gulliver's fictional cousin Richard Sympson, then A Letter From Captain Gulliver to his Cousin Sympson. The following text is in a First Part and Second Part, each beginning with a hand-colored, engraved Plate. Has, in total, 2 hand-colored plates, 14 hand-colored cuts, and 6 monochrome cuts. Volume II: Text is in a First Part and Second Part, each beginning with a hand-colored, engraved Plate. Has, in total, 2 hand-colored plates, 7 hand-colored cuts, and 9 monochrome cuts. Ends with a colophon. Both Volumes: Within Parts, each chapter begins with a decorative, monochrome capital. On laid, watermarked Antique De Luxe paper. All leaves are unopened at the head, fore and tail edges untrimmed. Bound in half, cream buckram with a wide, vertical band of matte black paper. From the colophon in Volume II: This edition of Gullivers Travels was printed by Robert Gibbings at Waltham Saint Lawrence in Berkshire, and completed on the XVII. Day of November, MCMXXV. The text is taken from the Bohn edition, the illustrations are designed and engraved on wood by David Jones. Compositors: F. Young and A. H. Gibbs. Pressman: A. C. Cooper. CCCCLXXX. copies have been printed, of which nos. I. to XXX. are on hand-made paper. This is number [142, hand numbered]. Not pristine, as typical, it is internally clean and sound, in about Very Good condition, and examples are scarce in the trade.; Wood engraving; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall .

East Aurora, New York: The Roycroft Printing Shop. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 1896. Limited/Numbered Edition. Hardcover. A light mark to the front cover, spine tail slightly bumped, bruise or dent to the head edge of the rear cover. Occasional, foxing to the pages, some pages foxed in the gutter at the head. ; In a periodical, Roycroft printed the first US appearance of George Bernard Shaw's essay on the institution of the church, primarily the Catholic Church, and churchgoers' reliance on organized religion. Although Shaw, via a postcard, had given Elbert Hubbard permission to publish this work, Shaw was horrified to find that Hubbard had taken liberties and edited the essay instead of printing it as it stood. Thereafter, Shaw disassociated himself from the Roycroft version, treated it as a piracy, and did not miss an opportunity to vilify Elbert Hubbard. From the essay, Shaw's thoughts on how drink, smoke, drugs, or the lack thereof, produce creative works, including…

Description:
London: for Benj. Motte,, 1726 & 1727. I winked at my own littleness, as people do at their own faults Third edition, Teerink's B edition, published only a couple of months after the first, together with the spurious third volume published the following year. This is a remarkably attractive set, uniformly bound in a well-preserved unrestored contemporary English binding. The first edition was published on 28 October 1726. Two superficially similar but distinct octavo editions followed in quick succession: the second (designated AA by Teerink) sometime in the middle of November, and the third edition (Teerink B) in December. A third volume, in two parts, appeared later in 1727; the first part is an original imitation of Swift's work, the second is an adaptation of Siden's The History of the Sevarites or Sevarambi (London, 1675-9). Gulliver's Travels "is the book by which Swift is chiefly remembered, and it is the record of his own experience in politics under Queen Anne as an Irishman in what G. B.…

Description:
New York: Continuum, 2006. 8vo size trade paperback with black and white photo illustrated cover; 414 pages From back: "Cinema, which first arrived in Japan in 1896 with the Kinetoscope prototype, came at the very time that Japan was transforming its economic base and society into that of a major international power. The first cinema, the Asakusa Denikikan, was opened in Tokyo in 1903 and within 13 years 300 cinemas had sprung up throughout the country... (The author) focuses on the historical development of Japanese film, illustrated by a series of typical Japanese film posters. She details an industry and an art form shaped by the competing and merging forces of traditional culture and of economic and technological innovation."
