Two volumes containing the complete two years' monthly issues plus the penultimate issue, "Epilark". Each issue ran 16pp and included a wonderful collection of creative writing, cartoons, and miscellany and widely considered the American equivalent to the British, "Yellow Book". Printed on handmade paper variously described as Chinese rice paper, Chinese bamboo fiber paper, and just bamboo paper, the sure thing is that the stock is untrimmed at bottom edges, appears in various weights, and occasionally is so thin that pages appear to be printed on doubled paper, sometimes uncut. Gelett Burgess was the creator and chief contributor to The Lark, writing some of the issues nearly single-handedly. Issue One contains Burgess' famous nonsense poem, "The Purple Cow". It was perhaps fitting that when The Lark ceased publication with issue 24 in 1897, it included the follow-up, "Yes I wrote the Purple Cow, I 'm sorry now I wrote it, but I can tell you anyhow, I'll kill you if you quote it." Issue Two contains a photo of Robert Louis Stevenson, whose poem was part of the Dedication of this issue. Many lovely woodcuts by Ernest Peixotto, Florence Lundberg and others. A very nice set of this important contribution to American prose and bibliography.

A renowned classic in exceptional condition. Finely bound in signed Root binding. "[I]t has seldom been our good fortune to rise from the perusal of three volumes so much instructed and amused. The editor speaks of his labors with diffidence, although it is obvious that these must have been considerable. He has availed himself of the best sources of information, in addition to his own recollections and those of his friends, for forty years, to render his work pleasing and useful. It is avowedly nothing more than a collection of biographical notices of the most idstinguished musicians and amateurs of music, interspersed with interesting and humorous anecdotes of these persons in public life and in retirement, amid the misfortunes that too often attend the spring-time of genius..." [The Monthly Review, Vol. CVIII, Sept-Nov., 1925]. A very handsome set.

Household Edition. In two sections with a "frontisportrait" for each. From the library of Susan Mary Alsop. Born Susan Mary Jay in Rome in 1918, she was the daughter of Peter Augustus Jay (and Susan Alexander McCook) and granddaughter of Augustus Jay (and Emily Astor Kane), both statesmen, legates and/or ambassadors (in Europe, Asia and South America). The Jays, a Huguenot family, produced John Jay, co-author of the Federalist Papers, Foreign Secretary and the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Many of the volumes from her library were from that of her father and grand father and are so inscribed (as noted). Susan Mary [Jay] Alsop, in addition to being one of the great political hostesses in Washington's circles, was an author in her own right, producing a noted biography of Vita Sackville-West's mother, “Lady Sackville” (1978); and also “Yankees at the Court: The First Americans in Paris” (1982), and “The Congress Dances: Vienna 1814-1815” (1984).

Elegantly designed, can be opened one way or another, but not both...always keeping its secrets. In the artist's words, "Over the course of a few years, I was waiting for an inheritance from a very distant family member, a second cousin of my great aunt, someone I never knew. Through all the forms to fill out and notarize, and all the family interaction with emails and letters going back and forth, I was thinking more about the intangible things that we inherit. I put together the text from what people said to me and other girls in our family as we were growing up, and from my paternal grandmother's journal from the year my father turned one. The images are from old advertisements and paper dolls. I liked using the flexagon structure because it reminds me of a child's toy, and even though you can read and see everything in the book, you can't do that all at once because there's always something hidden." In a period where a fair bit of "book art" is glib, Cawley's work is subtle and engaging. Where much is to be seen once, enjoyed and forgotten, Cawley's begs "rereading", as with each rereading one is able to trick out another nuance...another wee tale. Cawley is emerging as a fresh and sophisticated voice in American book arts.

In the artist's words: "I love living in Portland for lots of reasons; this piece celebrates some of the more visual ones. Almost every day, I come to a spot where there's a breath-stopping view of water, or an astonishingly large old tree, or a building with a spicy array of architectural doodads, and I think happily to myself, 'I live here.'" In a period where a fair bit of "book art" is glib, Cawley's work is subtle and engaging. Where much is to be seen once, enjoyed and forgotten, Cawley's begs "rereading", as with each rereading one is able to trick out another nuance...another wee tale. Cawley is emerging as a fresh and sophisticated voice in American book arts.

Originally issued in wraps and original wraps bound in. While it can not be confirmed, it appears likely this volume was an early addition to Frank Deering's library. Deering, a renowned collector in Maine was a passionate "grangerizer" and the quality in execution and design of this volume implies that this was an early item in his collection, given away (along with another grangerized volume in matching binding) to the prior owner, known to be an associate of Deering. An exceptional example of "grangerizing" - extra-illustration - in this noted Maine history. In addition to the original fold-out map included in the first edition, this copy includes a total of eight maps (most 1877, one 1799; two fold-out and linen backed, most in color and several double page). The work includes 60 bound-in engravings from earlier works. Most are portraits, but there are several landscapes, ship images, a facsimile of return of the Jury re 1692 Salem witch trial, etc...all tipped in at related text sections. There is one tipped in photograph. At least one plate, that of James Sullivan, appears to be signed [N.B. this has not been verified]. A unique edition and a wonderful addition to a History of Maine collection.

An unusual copy, this edition was in 500 copies, signed by Dulac. However, this copy does not have the limitation/signature page.

Dulac's illustrations are absolutely exceptional, illustrating one of the stories from “Arabian Nights”. Typically found rebound, as the original wraps were both uninspired and the binding intended to be "temporary", it is very uncommon to find it as here. Appears to be the only available copy in the US. A very handsome copy of this scarce volume.

"Pirate" bookplate bears the signature of Charles B. Driscoll and the scholarly marginalia is in his hand. The variants of Boni and Liveright’s The Waste Land have long been recognized. There are numerous textual variants, of which the most commonly identified is the dropped “a” in “mountain” on page 41 (as shown in this copy). The lack of the "a" appears to indicate sheets printed *later* in the run than those where the “a” is present. It appears, however, that this merely reflects timings within print runs and does *not* have a bearing on priority of issue. The first issue is identified as being in the first 500 or so numbered copies, as having flexible boards (as opposed to stiff) and by maintaining the 5mm font size on the stamped numbers on the colophon. This copy shows flexible boards, but a higher number in a smaller font, indicating it is second issue. (Gallup A6b; McBride 26; Hayward 332). This copy, however, shows wonderful marginalia in the hand of noted author Charles B. Driscoll (e.g. citing and quoting Dante (Inferno, Canto III and IV (p15)); Ovid (Metamorphoses, Book Six, Fable V (pp18-19)) and Shakespeare (The Tempest, I-II-389))). Overall, a very handsome and unique copy of one of the most significant poetical works ever published.

Collection catalogue, 39 plates. Sir Guy Francis Laking, 2nd Baronet (October 21, 1875 - November 22, 1919) was an English art historian, Keeper of the King's Armoury and the first keeper of the London Museum from before its opening until his death. The son of a prominent London physician, he was friendly with the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII). Laking was a keen collector from a very young age (as evidenced by his first essay, 'The Sword of Joan of Arc', written at the age of 10). In 1891 he met the Baron de Cosson (widely considered the foremost expert on arms and armour in his generation). This acquaintance was influential in his subsequent career. His first work at Christies was a sale catalogue of the Zschille Collection, which sold in January 1897. He then compiled catalogues for the Gurney, Spiller, Breadalbane, Kennedy and North collections of arms and armour. The Kennedy Collection was formed largely as a result Laking's input and contained exceptionally fine swords and firearms. In his catalogues for Christies Laking's descriptions contained a combination of scholarship and enthusiasm, which was a departure from the uninspired commentary of other conventional catalogues. Laking became Keeper of the King's Armoury at Windsor in 1902 (a post created for him by Edward VII); Inspector of the Armoury at the Wallace Collection and in 1911 Keeper of the London Museum, where he was tasked with acquiring, cataloguing and arranging the collection. (see royalarmouries.org). Inscribed to William Henry Fenton by Laking. Noted flaws notwithstanding, a rather uncommon volume in such overall nice condition and genuinely scarce inscribed by Laking.
