Description:
Tokyo: Unsoudo, 1918. Two octavo vols. (54)pp. each. Both volumes begin with introductions printed in Hiragana, and then present across subsequent pages color woodblock prints of toys from around the world, with captions. The global scope of the toys, among which are Parisian and Taiwanese masks, Matryoshka dolls, Hungarian and Burmese carvings, and puppets of all kinds, subtly engages with the greater political agenda of the Japanese government, which was at the time bent on positioning Japan as a significant world power. Volumes stab-bound with illustrated paper labels to upper covers. Both with library markings, rubs to edges, stray foxing to outermost leaves, and expected occasional offsetting. Near fine, with only one copy in OCLC. An earlier edition was published in 1914 but lacked forty-two of the prints in the present edition.

Description:
Seattle: Aubergine Atelier, 2019. Fenton, Jodee. Oblong 24mo. 36(ff)., + 14 Japanese kozo-paper leaves painted on both sides in gouache, tempera, watercolor, and polyacrylic varnish. From an edition of thirty copies, this is one of ten bound in half leather with decorative paper over boards. Each copy in the edition contains unique paintings by Jodee Fenton. These, distributed throughout as full leaves, cutouts, and paste-downs, encourage a new perspective on Yeats' seminal poem. Originally composed as a reaction to the pain of the early twentieth century-the aftermath of the First World War, the onset of the Irish War of Independence, and the 1918-1919 flu pandemic-Yeats' verses use apocalyptic allegory to capture the fear, brutality, and destruction of the era. Here, Fenton presents the poem as a series of images, mirrored on both sides of each painted sheet, and verses, broken apart by line and by word. The arrangement thus asks the reader to pause and draws insistent parallels between Yeats'…

Description:
Northampton: Ariosto Press, 1965. Young, Elaine. Octavo. (25)pp. One of 100 copies, signed by the artist. A student of Leonard Baskin, Young riffs on his dynamic and mythical style to create her own fanciful beasts, emblems of particular ornamental characters (the "Bulla" as a Papal Bull "known for its dogma," the "Homo litterarum" as an airy academic, the "Avis invulgaris" as an aristrocrat who "is habitually performing acts of charity and voting against antipoverty legislations"). Young's preface describes the contents as "hallucinogenic material...the result of a diverse program of cognitive meanderings." The first book of the press. Young's name pops up as a contributor on other Baskin-circle projects, including the Apiary Press' Certain Elizabethan and Jacobean Playwrights. Bound in full tan paper over boards with paper label at upper cover. Mild rubbing to exterior, else near fine. Bookplate of Harold Hugo, then president of the Meriden Gravure Company.
