(Polonus, Stanislaus) Ruppel, Aloys STANISLAUS POLONUS, POLSKI DRUKARZ I WYDAWCA WCZESNEJ DOBY W HISZPANII.
Kraków Panstwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe 1970 4to. cloth, dust jacket, slipcase 275, (3) pages
Printed in an edition of 1,000 copies. Translated from German into Polish by Tadeusz Zapiór. Expanded from the original Stanislaus Polonus ein polnischer Frühdrucker in Spanien., produced by Anatoly Girs and published in 1946 by Oficyna Warszawska. Beautifully produced and printed in red and black with wide margins on heavy paper, the book reproduces text, woodcuts, initials, headpieces, tailpieces, fleurons and other ornaments from Polonus's work. Several of the lush woodcuts from Gaspar Gorrico's Contemplaciones sobre el Rosario appear throughout, and some, such as "The Coronation" and "The Adoration of the Magi," are accorded full-page treatment, where they display the artist's attention to detail. Polonus collaborated on this series with his long-time partner, Meinardo Ungut, and Ruppel included numerous samples from their other joint projects, such as a page of text and music from Processionarium Ordinis Praedicatorum and the title-page woodcut plus a page of text from Floreto de San Francisco. Working on his own later in Alcalá, Polonus printed among other items a 4-volume edition of Vita Christi Cartuxano, and its title page woodcut with royal arms is reproduced, portraying him presenting the work to Ferdinand and Isabella (Clair, p. 218). On the verso in red and black is the colophon as it appeared with Polonus's pressmark. Frontispiece tipped-in. 1946 colophon included. Slipcase rubbed.

Pu Songling A COLLECTION OF BIZARRE STORIES.
8 Volumes bound in 4 Shanghai Shanghai New Press 1918 8vo. 8 volumes bound in 4 bound in stiff paper wrappers and housed in the original paper covered slipcase unpaginated
Text in Chinese. Pu Songling (1640-1715) was a native of Zichuan, Shandong Province. Among other works, he wrote Strange Tales of Liaozhai. His works exposed and satirized corrupt officials in the early years of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) and criticized the ossified official examination system. But he paid tribute to pure and faithful relationships. According to staff members at the Confucius Institute at the University of Delaware, this work, through the medium of ghost stories, metaphorically praised the good aspects of human nature. But because of his criticism of Qing officialdom, his works were banned until after the dynasty's overthrow in 1912. The title page, in Chinese, states that this work was published in the 7th year of the Chinese republic (1918). It contains beautiful woodblock engravings. Staff members at the Confucius Institute, University of Delaware, praised it as a fascinating and beautiful work. Covers soiled and worn at edges. Rough English translations of title and descriptions of woodcut work are on the inside of boards.

One of only 60 copies of the Museum Edition

(Pyle, Howard) Davis, Paul Preston HOWARD PYLE: HIS LIFE -- HIS WORK
2 volumes. New Castle and Wilmington Oak Knoll Press and The Delaware Art Museum 2004 9 x 12 inches. quarter Morocco with Japanese cloth, a special binding by Campbell-Logan Bindery (viii),xiv,(ii),400; (viii),401-872 pages.
First edition, one of only 60 numbered and signed sets bound thus (Museum Edition). Contains an extra eight-page signature at the beginning which has a tipped-in wood-engraving of Pyle's well-known painting "The Landing of the Pilgrims" pulled from the original block engraved by Robert Hoskin of Harper & Brothers. The engraving was published in the April 1883 edition of Harper's New Monthly magazine. In addition, this special section discusses the print and includes the colophon. The section was printed on Mohawk Superfine by Leonard Seastone at his Tideline Press. At the dawn of the 20th century, Howard Pyle was America's most famous and influential illustrator. Through the illustrated pages of Harper's, Scribner's, and Century magazines, the American public first became acquainted with the illustrator that they would come to love. Both by example and through his teaching, Pyle molded and influenced generations of young artists who have continued his unique vision of illustration far beyond his own lifetime. Published 93 years after the death of Howard Pyle, this book celebrates the enduring and far-reaching achievements of America's foremost illustrator. Illustrated with over 3300 images, this important research tool represents the complete record of all known Howard Pyle illustrations, hundreds of which have not been reproduced since their original publication over 100 years ago.
Paul Preston Davis, with exhaustive research and dogged perseverance, has produced a much-needed resource for the study of Howard Pyle and American illustration. His work greatly expands upon the data originally collected by Willard S. Morse and Gertrude Brincklé in 1921. For the first time, full-color images (approx. 1.25 x 2.25 inches) of each of Pyle's published and unpublished works are provided in a single source. Most importantly for the researcher, Davis has indexed and re-indexed the information, creating a tool that is as easy to use as it is valuable. This remarkable and comprehensive set of books embodies years of research and will be valued and treasured by researchers, scholars, librarians, and collectors alike. Co-published with The Delaware Art Museum.
