This collection and the extreme care and expertise William Morris poured into his edition of the poems of John Keats (1795-1821), is a testament to the high regard in which this second-generation romantic poet was held towards the end of the 19th century, and particularly by the Pre-Raphaelites. "This was, arguably, the most popular of the titles published by the press, and the supply… Read More

Description:
London: Bernard Quaritch, 1872. Third Edition. Near fine. 8vo, 8 1/4 x 6 inches (210 x 153 mm); xxiv + 36 + (xiv) pp. Beautiful dark maroon morocco binding by Club Bindery 1892 (gold stamped on bottom of inside cover), gilt titling and gilt fillets on turn-ins and board edges, marbled endpapers, t.e.g. Pictorial bookplate of John A. Spoor 1921 on inside front cover by Emery Walker. Elegantly printed with text within decorative frames on each page. Spine lightly rubbed, small tear to the inside front endpaper. [Potter, 137]. Edward Fitzgerald continually revised and rearranged his version of the Rubáiyát, which was first published privately by the author in 1859, through four distinct editions during his lifetime. This third edition settled on 101 quatrains (as opposed to 75 in the first edition and 110 in the second), which is how it solidified. 500 copies were printed. A RARITY. In this third edition the translator is not credited on the title page, nor is the introductory text. Fitzgerald said… Read More

Description:
1972. Pen and black ink on watermarked Ingres laid paper, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4 inches (234 x 310 mm), signed, dated and titled in brown ink, and initialed and titled in black ink in the lower right corner. Light to moderate age tone and mat tone, and with the signature and notations in brown ink having become quite attenuated, although legible.

The son of portrait painter Alfred Partridge Klots, and Agnes Boon Klots, Trafford spent his childhood and much of his life near Loire, where his parents established an art colony in the medieval village of Rochefort-en-Terre around 1922. Klots escaped occupied France and moved back to America where he was active in Maryland and New York for several years, but returned to France after World War II with his wife, Isabel, to restore the… Read More

Description:
Tokyo, 1851. Set of 12 woodblock prints in colors on handmade, laid mulberry paper, 6 3/4 x 10 1/4 inches (170 x 258 mm), printed in Ka-ei 4 (1851). Each print with minor handling wear, otherwise in excellent condition with bright and fresh color, and with details printed in silver ink. The images themselves contain several illusive characters indicating the publisher which are obfuscated by figures, as intended. Presented loose, as issued. A fine set. The astrological commentary print has a large and meandering blind stamp with a bird and palm frond motif. This print lists various phrases concerning the Twelve Zodiac Animals as historically counted in Japan, and appears to include erotic commentary on the traits of people born under each of the twelve signs. These Shunga images were issued in books that paralleled (in an erotic fashion) the 52 chapters of Genji Monogatari, or Tales of Prince Genji. From the series, Seishi Ai-oi Genji, Genji refers to the protagonist in a 10th century classical… Read More
