(Savonarola, Girolamo) Gruyer, Gustave LES ILLUSTRATIONS DES ÉCRITS JÉROME SAVONAROLE PUBLIÉS EN ITALIE AU XVE ET AU XVI SIÈCLE ET LES PAROLES DE SAVONAROLE SUR L'ART
Paris Institut de France 1879 4to. later cloth with original stiff paper wrappers bound in; leather spine label; uncut fore edge, deckled tail edge vi, 221 pages
Limited edition of 300 copies. The subject of this volume is Girolamo Savonarola, the radical reforming Dominican who caused the expulsion of Pietro de' Medici, instituted of the Bonfires of the Vanities in Florence's public squares, and was eventually hanged and burned publicly. The text of this volume is divided into two sections. The first covers the illustrated editions of the writings of Girolamo Savonarola published in Italy during the fifteenth- and sixteenth-centuries. Some subjects, like the Crucifixion, are familiar, while others seem more particular to the works of Savonarola. The second section covers Savonarola's writings on art, culled from his larger oeuvre and collated together for interpretive discussion in this essay. The tables at the end of the volume provide lists of editions of Savonarola's works illustrated and printed in Italy, grouped by city of publication. Foreign works (cited in the book) with engravings as illustrations, are listed by city of publication. With black-and-white plates. A detailed table of contents also appears. With a memorial bookplate indicating that this book came from the reference library and stock of H.P. Kraus. Some foxing.

(Schoonover, Frank E.) Schoonover, John and Louise Schoonover Smith with LeeAnn Dean FRANK E. SCHOONOVER CATALOGUE RAISONNE
2 Volumes New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2009 9 x 12 inches 2 volumes, hardcover with slipcase 846 pages
First edition. Frank E. Schoonover (1877-1972) is recognized as one of the foremost illustrators of his time. His prolific contribution to American illustration spanned more than 40 years and included more than 2200 illustrations. His work appeared in most of the popular periodicals in the first half of the twentieth century, including Harpers, Scribner's, Saturday Evening Post, American Boy, Country Gentleman, and Colliers, as well as in over 150 books, particularly children's classics and contemporary fiction by such authors as Jack London, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Clarence Mulford, Lucy Foster Madison, James Willard Schultz, and Zane Grey. His iconic images of Hopalong Cassidy, Blackbeard, Jean LaFitte, Jim Bridger, Robinson Crusoe, Hans Brinker, Gulliver, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Joan of Arc remain a testimony of his creative, artistic ability.

Born in Oxford, New Jersey, in 1877, Schoonover eventually attended Drexel Institute in Philadelphia where he was taught by the quintessential American illustrator, Howard Pyle. Also, the young artist was chosen to attend Pyle's summer school in Chadds Ford. With Pyle's help, Schoonover initiated his illustrative career in 1899 with four en grisaille oil paintings for the book Jersey Boy in the Revolution. He numbered them #1-4 as he began recording his works in the remarkable day books, a chronological, detailed account that he maintained for his entire career. After settling in 1900 in Wilmington, Delaware, the artist traveled widely in the United States and Canada, giving him a unique perspective and a rich reservoir of experiences, which he incorporated into many works. He subsequently became recognized as an expert on the indigenous tribes of the Hudson Bay area. When the popularity of illustration waned in the 1940s, Schoonover turned to landscapes and commissions including designs for magnificent stained glass windows. He was also a sought-after, accomplished art teacher for twenty-five years.

The two-volume, slip-cased Frank E. Schoonover Catalogue Raisonné embodies Schoonover's entire oeuvre, from his earliest sketches to his last easel paintings. The book is chronologically organized with the numeration based on his daybook entries. Included are over 3000 images, many in full color, a detailed biography with accompanying time line, information about his models and students, lists of exhibitions and the magazines he illustrated, two additional bibliographies, and three indices. It is comprehensive in scope and will stand as the pre-eminent record of Schoonover, his life, and his work.

(Spiral Press) Cronenwett, Philip N. (compiler) THE SPIRAL PRESS (1926-1971), A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CHECKLIST.
New York American Printing History Association 2002 8vo. cloth 196 pages
While preparing an exhibition to accompany the 1997 Dartmouth Book Arts Summer Workshop, "Joseph Blumenthal and the Spiral Press," Mr. Cronenwett discovered that there was no standard bibliography of The Spiral Press. Since that time, Mr. Cronenwett has exhaustively researched and examined the holdings of many collections to compile this checklist of more than 600 items. The bibliography lists the press's monographs, pamphlets, exhibition catalogs and all publications relating to printing arts. This APHA publication will be an important research tool to literary and printing history scholars and collectors.

The significance of The Spiral Press to American letters and cultural history is underscored by the items listed in the bibliography. Joseph Blumenthal designed and printed for Robert Frost, W. H. Auden, Pablo Neruda, William Carlos Williams, Robinson Jeffers and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Institutions counted among the press's clients were The Metropolitan Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Morgan Library, The Grolier Club and The American Academy of Arts and Letters.

The press is also extremely significant to printing history in America. As a printer, Joseph Blumenthal set standards that are unequalled for dedication to the details of fine printing and design. His proprietary typeface, Spiral, was admired by the Monotype Corporation and adapted as "Emerson" for commercial book composition. In his later years, Blumenthal prepared a series of exhibitions on fine printing in America and Europe. He wrote and taught, sharing his passion for the book. To him the book was "a prime cultural heritage. Poetry, knowledge and the aspirations of mankind have been spread by the book to the whole of society."

The book has 196 pages containing more than two dozen reproductions of Spiral Press pages. These are offset-printed, in additional colors where appropriate, at the Studley Press. The book is casebound in a fine imported cloth over boards and issued in an edition of 500 copies.

Stauffer, David McNeely, Mantle Fielding and Thomas Hovey Gage AMERICAN ENGRAVERS UPON COPPER AND STEEL
4 volumes in 3 New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Books 1994 8vo. cloth. (iv),xxxi,391+(1); x,566; xi,365,(47) pages.
In 1907 David McNeely Stauffer's two-volume set of AMERICAN ENGRAVERS UPON COPPER AND STEEL was published in a limited edition of 350 copies. This pioneer work provided biographical sketches and a checklist of the works of over seven hundred American engravers. Little had previously been written about this subject, as the great majority of early American engravers were relatively obscure men and often the only record of their existence as engravers was the few impressions of a plate accidentally preserved. Stauffer's work was based on the prints themselves - their signatures, dates and publishers - and he realized there were omissions. In 1917 Mantle Fielding, who had corresponded with Stauffer and seen many of his notes, published a supplement in a numbered, limited edition of 220 copies. Stauffer's and Fielding's works on American Engravers are well indexed for engravers and partly indexed for subjects. However, engravers are for the most part only copyists; they reproduce on copper, steel or stone the work of another. Much valuable information as to the identity of the painters of early portraits can be obtained from examining engraved copies. Thus in 1920 Thomas Hovey Gage added an Artist Index to these important volumes. This reprint is the first time these four scarce volumes have appeared together as a set. When the noted dealer in Americana, William Reese, was informed of this project, he commented, "The pioneering works of Stauffer and Fielding have remained vital references for those interested in early American engraving, printing, and book illustration. For many years the original editions of 1907 and 1917 have been all but unobtainable, and these lacked the vital index separately published in 1920. Oak Knoll Books has done scholars, collectors and librarians a great service by making them available in what may properly be styled a `second, and best, edition'."
