Description:
Boston: Bromer Booksellers, 1996. Gorey, Edward. Small quarto. 26 pp. From an edition of 2,000 copies, this is one of 200 copies signed and numbered by Edward Gorey. Bromer special holiday catalog with previously unpublished, full-color cover design by Gorey, who created the artwork originally for a Nieman Marcus holiday catalogue. When the retailer rejected Gorey's work, choosing that of another artist instead, Bromer Booksellers happily acquired the illustration, which features frolicking bears around a wreath, set against a starry blue background. A nice example of the artist's whimsical touch. Fine.

(Vienna: Wiener Werkstatte, 1912. Zulow, Franz von. Quarto. (13)ff. The Twelve Months of the Year. With 13 sheets, each 29.7 x 22 cm, compromising twelve color lithographs for the months of the year, and one sheet depicting the four seasons. The prints are from illustrations by Franz von Zulow. Each of the monthly illustrations is compartmentalized into four images - two on the top and two on the bottom, with a central picture surrounded by decorative geometric borders. Each sheet has the name of the month written in different stylized lettering. The cover sheet for the four seasons has four rectangular sections with geometric borders of circles, diamonds, flowers, and sheaf's of wheat and likewise distinctive lettering for the season titles. The illustrations have a primitive, childlike, almost magical feeling, as though in awe at the changing of the seasons and the passing of time. Each lithograph is the artist's imaginative response to the evocation of the months. For example, March has romantic imagery in the form of cupids, a dancing couple, and a gentleman courting a lady. Von Zulow uses strong black outlines around dominant greens and reds with touches of beige, white, orange, and yellow. Von Zulow (1883-1963) was a renowned and prolific Austrian painter, graphic artist, designer, and muralist. From 1908 he was an illustrator and designer for the Wiener Werkstatte, the Vienna Crafts Studio, known for their modern designs at the turn of the twentieth century, and for the superior quality of their craftsmanship. This series of lithographs was produced in 1912. Unbound, as issued. The sheets are enclosed in a black-cloth portfolio with four fold-over sections. Inside covers are decorated with beautiful abstract washes of swirling brown, green, and olive colors. It is rare to find a set that has all of the sheets and is in good condition. A fine example. (Schweiger, p. 77, pictured on p. 185).

Description:
London: Cyril Beaumont, 1918. Tijtgat, Edgard. Octavo. (iii), 16, (1+16)ff., frenchfold. From an edition of fifty copies, this is one of ten printed on chine and signed by the artist. This is the story of Little Red Riding Hood, with woodcut text and illustrations by Belgian artist Edgard Tijtgat. Sixteen illustrations, hors texte, appear in two states: color and bistre. Tijtgat's illustrations are bold and expressionistic in style, and also deceptively innocent: things do not end well for Red Riding Hood in Charles Perrault's moral and more sinister version of the tale. Floral motif on the endpapers and repeated throughout the book. Tijtgat is associated with the Brabant Fauvists, a Belgian movement focused on pure, bold colors and simplified lines, similar to the Fauves led by Henri Matisse in France. During World War I, Tijtgat set up his printshop in England, where this book was published. Light foxing to upper margins of a few pages, some faint offsetting from prints, short closed tear to spine…

Description:
Paris: Jacques-François Chereau, 1747. Coypel, Charles-Antoine. Large folio. (1), (25)ff., plates. A reissue or reimpression published after the artist, Charles-Antoine Coypel, was named "Premier Peintre du Roi" in 1747; this series of twenty-five engravings was first presented as a deluxe portfolio in Paris, in 1724. The engravings were done after a series of paintings illustrating scenes from Don Quixote that Coypel had designed for a popular set of tapestries, which were woven continuously between 1714 and 1794. Coypel supervised the portfolio's production, and, according to the title page, the engravings were done by "les plus habiles artistes en ce genre." These artists included L. Surugue, F. Joullain, C. N. Cochin, and eight other engravers, who sign the plates. Coypel's depictions of scenes from Don Quixote differed significantly from previous illustrations of Cervantes's classic in that they were less focused on humor, and were more courtly and sophisticated, taking into account the…
