Description:
Paris: François Bernouard. Typography: Sam. Cohen, July 14, 1925. Hardcover. Buckram. . Near Fine. No. 729 of 1,786 copies. 4to. 28 by 19.5 cm. Unpaginated, 156 pages. Four color plates. Original wraps bound in. A beautiful French Haggadah, printed on better paper, and surprisingly uncommon in commerce -- we could find no copies in commerce on the date of this listing, but no shortage of institutionally-owned copied listed on OCLC. Text is presented in both French and Hebrew. The artwork has the quality of Folk Art and perhaps a Modernist Primitivist influence. Wrap cover withcorner repairs, and light soiling, much of which can be erased, and some stains which can't be erased. Scattered stains on other leaves, but mostly clean.

Description:
Paris: Éditions Albert Morancé, 1925. First Edition. Portfolio. Paper pastedown on boards. Cloth spine (lacking here). Ribbon tie. . Very Good. 4to. 28 by 23.5 cm. 17, [2], followed by 37, of 40, color plates -- most, but not all, are pochoir, and one of the plates is merely a b/w photo. Lacking Plates 12 (Salon, by Pierre Chareau), 17 (Studio, by Francis Jourdain) and 37 (Girl's bedroom, by J. E. Ruhlmann). Plates are dated 1924, while the overall publication date is given as 1925. Color plates can be colorized photos, pure painting or drawing, or a hybrid of photo and painting. We assume the painted images were done by the decorator credited with the room, or by someone in that decorator's operation, but no credit is given for such artwork explicitly. The rooms show the range, variety and elegance of Art Deco from its height as the prevailing style. The rooms have the panache and often a theatricality one would expect from the French. Colors often are daring. Details can be many…

Description:
New York: J. L. Schilling Co. , 1946. Leporello, heavy card, paper pastedown. Very Good Plus. 4to. Closed, oblong, 22 by 25 cm, extending to over 300 cm, with five folds and cover, with bright imagery of circus procession on both sides of concertina. While the inner panels have swooped shaped topsides, if one looks at the sides of the panels, they have bands of color that line up artfully. The color used is sunny and bold, and it captures the spirit of the mid-20th century circus well, while also in keeping with the prevailing style of children's book illustration of the day. The panels are of a sturdy card, as is the cover. Minor chipping along the joints, and the lightest of soiling there.

Description:
1881. Full Morocco. Fine. A richly illuminated Victorian manuscript notable for its great variety of ornamentation and done by a woman famous in her day. 4to. 28 by 24 cm. 59 leaves of heavy card, each with illumination. The illluminator, Edith Baird, was the "Queen of Chess" in her day. She wrote several books on chess problems, most notably, "Seven Hundred Chess Problems", Henry Sotheran, 1902, "The Twentieth Century Retractor", also Henry Sotheran, 1907. She was the daughter of a poet, Thomas Winter-Wood, who wrote under the name of "Vanguard" and who also was a chess master, as were two of Edith's brothers. The verse contained in this album do not bear titles. Edith Baird may have written some or all of the poems, but nothing definite can be said about their authorship. In addition to English, some verse is in German and French. While there are references to heaven and God, the poems are more spiritual than religious. Several of the leaves…
