ENGRAVED PLATE FROM VOLUME II OF DE BRY'S 'LITTLE VOYAGES' OF THE EAST INDIES Documenting the Asia Journeys of Van Linschoten. Featuring Depictions of Gabon, Mozambique, India, Ormus, Moluccas, and China. WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF EARLY 17TH-CENTURY GERMAN HAND-COLORING, HEIGHTENED IN GOLD. According to the descriptions in Icones, the women of the Portuguese wore veils over their faces and were carried on sedans or stretchers, which they called pallamquinos. This is how their spouses protected their wives' chastity. The men suffered from jealousy, as such all men were prohibited from visiting women, Icones tells us. Translation of text below engraved image: Title: How the Portuguese women and daughters/ are being carried around in India Text: The Portuguese women and daughters in India are being carried as shown above from two slaves or servants in a sedan chair/ like they are men. They call the sedan chairs Pallamkyn. Although one can see their women very seldom on the streets/ they are being carried to church however/ the Pallamkyn are usually covered with a sheet/ so that you cannot see them underneath it. They are being followed by slaves/ their own maids and servants/ as shown in this illustration. The covered Pallamkyn is shown in this illustration. Size: 11 1/2" x 7 1/2".

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. LITTLE WOMEN, Part First and Second, by Louisa May Alcott Published by Roberts Brothers, Boston, MA LITTLE WOMEN Part First (1869) First Edition / Early Printing illustrated by May Alcott. [BAL 158] LITTLE WOMEN Part Second (1869) First Edition/First State. [BAL 159] 12mo, bound in original gilt-stamped green cloth, brown coated endpapers. Housed together in a custom clamshell box. A rare treasure, this matched set was owned by Edward W. Francis whose name and date "May 28, 1869" appears inside both volumes. About: Louisa May Alcott wrote and published LITTLE WOMEN Part First in 1868. Her young sister, May Alcott, illustrated the book with four illustrations. LITTLE WOMEN was published by Roberts Brothers, Boston, and, to Louisa's surprise, became a best seller. In November of 1868, Roberts Brothers asked Louisa to write a sequel which Louisa simply titled LITTLE WOMEN Part Second. 2,000 copies of the First Edition/First printing were printed. LITTLE WOMEN Part Second was published in 1869. As sales and demand soared, additional printings from the first edition plates of Part First continued. Four early-state bindings have been observed which are uniform with the first edition/first printing. These early bindings do not have the words "Part First" on the spine. Later reprints from the First Edition plates have "Part First" written on the spine. In this way, it is evident the LITTLE WOMEN Part First offered here is one of the earlier First Edition / Early Printing states [BAL 158]. As LITTLE WOMEN's success grew, Roberts Brothers decided to discontinue using May Alcott's illustrations in Part First. At the time Louisa wrote LITTLE WOMEN Part First, the Alcotts were not a wealthy family and May Alcott was not yet a well-trained artist. The LITTLE WOMEN Part First in this set is one of the scarce editions illustrated by May Alcott who was the model for "Amy March". Condition Notes: Custom Made Presentation Box: In Very Good/ Near Fine Condition with some very light scuffing to green cloth, this custom presentation box was made just for this LITTLE WOMEN set, and its gilt will shine brightly in any library placement. LITTLE WOMEN Part First, First Edition/ Early Printing (1869) Outside in Good Condition. Green cloth and Gold Gilt remain bright and clear. There is some chipping and loss of gilt at the top of the spine; some rubbing to gilt at bottom of spine. Bumping to corners with exposure of boards. ~1/4 hole in spine (see photo). Inside: Fair Condition. The binding has been tightened but remains very fragile and in poor condition towards the middle of the volume where the stitching remains intact but very loose. Book signature section between pages 145-160 is attached by a single stitch. In short, don't hand this book to a toddler to read. Give them a paperback and put this one in your glass case. On the front chocolate endpaper, there is pasted a lovely image of Louisa May Alcott with a plate signature. All four May Alcott illustrations are present and in good condition. Pages are crisp and clean throughout. LITTLE WOMEN, Part Second: First Edition / First State [BAL 159] Good condition. Some bumping to the top of spine with small loss of gilt. Wear at bottom of spine with cosmetic crack in cloth just below the words "Roberts Bros" and over the gold gilt decor line at bottom. Some bumping to corners with minimal exposure of boards. Inside, the binding is good and secure. Some cracking and exposure of hinges, particularly near the middle, but not effecting structure. Pages are crisp and clean. Over advertisements at the back, there is pasted a newspaper clipping containing Louisa's response to a fan. On the second-to-last end paper, there is a damp stain on the top of the paper. Stain reflects faintly on the last end paper. Passing through Concord, Massachusetts- the town where they were penned- this LITTLE WOMEN set will make a special edition to a Louisa May Alcott collector's library.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Bound in terra cotta brown cloth with gold lettering inside oval on the spine and cover. Publisher's name in gold at the base of the spine. Binding good and tight. The color of the cloth is still brighter than normal. There's a 3 inch slit at the rear hinge where backing linen is fleetingly visible. Foot of spine is chipped and the cloth is curled up to the gold of the publisher's name. Slight shelf-cocked, as seems always to be the case with the title. Corners bumped. Overall, though, the binding is is better condition than is usually seen. Gutters cracked at front and rear endpapers, revealing backing linen, but still tight. First blank page has original owners name signed twice, once in pen and once in pencil (Mary M Dillon) both dated July 1869. There is also a small printed 'If thou art borrowed.' clipping pasted to this first blank page. Title page dated 1869. The bottom two inches of the title page are not attached at the gutter. Frontispiece with tissue guard present. Copyright page dated 1868. 4 plates present including frontispiece. On page 341, it says 'end of part first. Part Second, completing Little Women is published in a volume to match this.'10 pages (5 leaves) of ads. The ads are numbered 3, _, 11, 12, 16, 15, 17, 19, 20, 18. The ads do mention Little Women available as a 2 volumes set for $2. Spine and title page make no mention of which 'part' this is. Publication history is a bit tricky with these wonderful early copies of Little Women. It was first published in Sept or October 1868 in an edition of only 2,000 copies. It was an immediate success, and Roberts Brothers set about reprinting it in a somewhat disorganized manner. Part 2 of the story was published in April of 1869. There were at least 3 copies of Part 1 printed in 1869 that make no mention of Part 2. This copy DOES mention Part 2 at the end of the text, but not on the title page or on the spine, suggesting that the publisher used a cover left over from the first batch (before Part 2 was added to the spine). The ownership date on the free endpaper lets us know that this copy was out in the world by July, meaning that it was printed somewhere between April and July of 1869. Extremely scarce.

[12] pp.; 16 x 11.5 cm.; staple bound; color; edition size unknown; offset-printed Small artist's book culminating in two infamous nude photographs of Brooke Shields, then the age of 10. One of these images became the basis of Richard Prince's work "Spiritual America" (1983). "I went back to my apartment on E.12th St. and hurriedly opened the envelope. The small publication was in fact called? 'Little Women'. And in it, contained several images of young girls made up to look older. (All of the girls were around nine, ten and dressed and styled to look around eighteen). Some of them looked like 'tarts.' I didn't really have much of a reaction paging through the book. I didn't understand why Gross would think that these kinds of images would help promote his business. (Then again I didn't know what business Gross was promoting). I turned the pages and there it was on the second to the last page. There was Brooke standing in a tub completely naked with her arms outstretched like she was Jesus on the cross? her boy body oiled and shiny, with just the tiniest bit of make-up on her cheeks and rouge on her lips. The image hit me. It was 'alive.' Where did it come from? Who was its maker? It wasn't born. It was fully formed. There was no history to the image, no future. Independent and on its own? free from any and all authorship. It was as if the 'look' on Brooke's face knew secrets I would never begin to understand. She knew. What did she know? It didn't matter. It was enough to know that this photograph knew everything." -- Richard Prince, from transcription of lecture delivered at ICP, New York, April 2, 2014, Reference : "Spiritual America : The Catalog 1983 - 1984" by Sandra Schulman, Walter Robinson, Richard Prince, Kim Fine. : Slink Productions, 2015.

First published anonymously in *Tales of Terror* (London, 1801), a collection of ballads satirizing the gothic writings of Matthew Gregory "Monk" Lewis, this account of the nursery tale is notably grimmer than the 1812 Brothers Grimm version. *The Port Folio* was an important Federalist literary magazine founded in Philadelphia in 1801 and edited by Joseph Dennie under the pen name "Oliver Oldschool, Esq." Also included in the June 5th issue are obituary notices for Martha Washington, "widow of the late illustrious general," and Sara Jay, "the amiable and much respected wife of his excellency John Jay.".

First Edition
paperback. Condition: fine. Garry Gross (illustrator). First. Illustrated with 6 color photographs of young girls, dressed (and un-dressed) to look older. [12] pages. Slim 12mo, black printed wrappers, staple-bound. A small artist's book -- a limited edition of unknown size -- culminating in two infamous nude photographs of Brooke Shields, then age of 10. New York: Self-published by Gross and printed by The Hennegan Company in Cincinnati, (no date, circa 1975). First and only edition, created by Gross to advertise his studio photography business. A fine copy, unmarked and as new. Garry Gross was regularly employed by Brooke's mother to photograph her daughter, then a model with the Ford agency. Her mother signed a contract giving Gross full rights to use the images of her daughter. "His name was well-known, even if it is whispered with muted distaste in photography and copyrights circles. His body of work is unknown, eclipsed by a single pictorial he undertook for American socialite Teri Shields. In 1975, Garry Gross scribbled his name into a dubious footnote in the history of photography by photographing a nude 10-year-old Brooke Shields. The photos of the bejeweled soon-to-be-child-actress, in thick makeup and in a steaming, ornate bathtub, however, wouldn't become known outside the arts community for another three years. After seeing the photos, Louis Malle cast Brooke Shields as a child prostitute in Pretty Baby, his acclaimed movie set during the last months of legal prostitution in New Orleans. The rest was history -- and a rancorous one as that. Some two decades after New York's highest court ruled that the photos are not "sexually suggestive, provocative or pornographic" and are distributable as long as they are not included in pornographic publications, the public remains as divided as ever before on the issue. As for Garry Gross, he didn't share the spotlight created by the controversy. His name was mentioned sporadically as the Brooke Shields controversy raged on, as when the famed appropriationist Richard Prince, who photographs other people's photographs and exhibits them, dug this hoary old chestnut up again in 2007. But apart from occasional interview, Gross remained in semi-retirement. He was shunned by the society and rejected by galleries which were hesitant to court controversy by staging Gross exhibits. Never returning to celebrity photography, Garry Gross worked and died as a humble dog photographer and trainer." -- The Liberal Gun Club.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Early printing of the first volume only. Part One was originally published by Roberts Bros. in 1868 with Part Two following closely in 1869. This copy is dated 1870 on the title page, in the publisher's maroon cloth binding with gilt titling on the front cover and spine. Some wear to the gilt on "tt" in "Little" on the cover, and wear to gilt on publisher's name on spine, but overall gilt is rather bright. Chipping and major shelf wear to top and tail of spine. Edges and corners are bumped and shelf-worn. Fraying to front and rear spine edges. The binding is intact but rather fragile. Brown endpapers have some rubbing. Interior is age-toned as expected with minor pencil markings here and there. This copy belonged to Elizabeth Colt Jarvis Beach, niece of Elizabeth Jarvis Colt, the "First Lady of Hartford" who took over operations of Colt Firearms, the company her husband Col. Samuel Colt had founded, after his death. Elizabeth Colt Jarvis (Beach) was the daughter of Elizabeth Jarvis Colt's brother, John Samuel Jarvis, and Elizabeth Hall Jarvis. Elizabeth Colt Jarvis Beach later married George Watson Beach, a prominent manufacturer in Saybrook, Connecticut, and was a prominent member of Hartford, Connecticut society. On the flyleaf and front free endpaper is written, once in pen and a few times in pencil, "Lizzie C. Jarvis, A birthday gift from her little sister Hettie, July 21st, 1870, Hartford, Conn." Lizzie was 10 years old, and her little sister Hettie was just 6 years old.

Pictorial Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good +. No Jacket. Twelvetrees, R. C. (illustrator). First Edition. Twelvetrees, R. C. Seven Little Women. New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1908. First edition. Oblong folio - 14-1/8" x 9-13/16". Publisher's green cloth-backed color pictorial paper covered boards. Unpaginated (16) leaves printed on recto only. Illustrated in color throughout. A rare and quite charming children's book featuring doll-like characters in a dwindling party theme. One by one the seven little girls get picked off as the story proceeds, from seven to none. Cute scenes of them playing, breaking a dish, getting stung by a bee, being nipped by a crab and a monkey, falling off a tree, etc. The condition of this book is VERY GOOD +. The book exhibits light edge wear and rubbing, as well as occasional finger-soiling, but all in all is in amazing condition for such a desirable and scarce book. SCARCE.
