Condition: Good. Original lithograph. 12.5 x 11 inches. Very Good. Minor spot of foxing. Inserted into light matting. Published 19 April, 1830.Sitters: John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon (1751-1838), Lord Chancellor. Charles Gordon-Lennox, 5th Duke of Richmond and Lennox (1791-1860), Soldier and Conservative politician; MP for Chichester.John Doyle (Dublin 1797 - 2 January 1868 London), known by the pen name H. B., was a political cartoonist, caricaturist, painter and lithographer.In his youth he learned to paint landscapes under Gaspare Gabrielli, and miniature portraits at the Royal Dublin Society's drawing school under John Comerfield. He won a gold medal in 1805. He was commissioned to paint equestrian portraits of the Marquess of Sligo and Lord Talbot, the Irish viceroy, and in 1822 he produced six prints entitled The Life of a Racehorse. That year he moved to London with his wife, Marianna Conan. His painting Turning out the Stag brought him recognition when it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1825.Doyle continued to exhibit miniatures until 1835, but by then he was experiencing greater success with his political cartoons, printed using the new reproductive medium of lithography, beginning in 1827. These were issued once a month during parliamentary sessions, and continued for twenty-two years. His caricatures were mostly faithful likenesses of their subjects, with little exaggeration, treated with sarcastic humor, often alluding to popular plays. They were signed with the letters H. B., constructed out of two Js and two Ds, Doyle's own initials. By 1840 he was prosperous enough to afford a fashionable house in Hyde Park, moving in the same circles as David Wilkie, Walter Scott, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, Thomas Macaulay, Thomas Moore and Samuel Rogers - but H. B.'s true identity remained a closely guarded secret until he revealed it in 1843 in a seventeen-page letter to Sir Robert Peel.In the 1840s, at the height of his popularity, indices of H.B.'s prints were published in The Times and by the publisher McLean, but his reputation faded. His later prints were gentle in their humor and drawn in a soft, indistinct style. Thackeray said his cartoons, although clever and witty, were too "genteel" to raise more than a gentlemanly smile - "You will never hear any laughing at 'H. B.'" When he died in 1868, his obituary in The Art Journal did not appear until three months after his death, and a posthumous sale of his sketches at Christie's in 1882 was canceled for lack of buyers. However, he is considered a founder of the school of British cartoon satirists represented by John Leech, John Tenniel, and his son Richard Doyle, which established the style made famous by Punch magazine. The British Museum has over 900 of his drawings in its collections.

First Scott Moncrieff edition, inscribed by the translator on the front free endpaper, "To the Duchess of Malfi from her devoted servant C.K.S.M. 23 XI 1919". It was inscribed to the actress Cathleen Nesbitt at the premier of the revival of John Webster's play, which was first performed around 1612 and which was revived with Nesbitt starring as the duchess at the Lyric Theatre. Scott Moncrieff's lauded translation from the Old French of the famous 11th-century chanson de geste was published in the same year he translated Beowulf, and a few years before he began his monumental translation of Proust's roman-fleuve (1922-31). The Song of Roland's themes of martial chivalry and comradeship is reflected through the three dedicatory poems, in which Scott Moncrieff honours his fallen friends or lovers Wilfred Owen, Philip Bainbridge, and Ian Mackenzie. Scott Moncrieff himself fought with the Kings Own Scottish Borderers from 1914 to 1917, his service ending after being injured by an artillery shell. In his introduction, G. K. Chesterton ends on the sombre note that "war is never finished in this world; and the grass has hardly grown on the graves of our own friends who fell in it" (p. xii). Octavo. Original red cloth, paper spine label lettered in brown and black. Spine and edges toned, partially affecting titles, some marks to cloth, ends and corners a little worn, free endpapers browned, occasional foxing and faint mark to gutter. A very good copy.

First Scott Moncrieff edition, inscribed by the translator on the front free endpaper, "To Godfrey Locker Lampson from Charles Scott Moncrieff, August 1920". Scott Moncrieff has additionally inscribed the final page, underneath the printed authorial credit to Turold, "and Charles Scott Moncrieff translated, 1919". The recipient was Locker-Lampson (1875-1946), Conservative MP, poet, and essayist. Scott Moncrieff's lauded translation from the Old French of the famous 11th-century chanson de geste was published in the same year he translated Beowulf, and a few years before he began his monumental translation of Proust's roman-fleuve (1922-31). The Song of Roland's themes of martial chivalry and comradeship is reflected through the three dedicatory poems, in which Scott Moncrieff honours his fallen friends or lovers Wilfred Owen, Philip Bainbridge, and Ian Mackenzie. Scott Moncrieff himself fought with the Kings Own Scottish Borderers from 1914 to 1917, his service ending after being injured by an artillery shell. In his introduction, G. K. Chesterton ends on the sombre note that "war is never finished in this world; and the grass has hardly grown on the graves of our own friends who fell in it" (p. xii). An ink correction appears on page 128, likely in Scott Moncrieff's hand. Octavo. Original red cloth, paper spine label lettered in brown and black. Old cataloguing note tipped to front free endpaper. Spine faded, partially affecting titles, two small chips to label edges, edges slightly bumped, pale foxing to edges. A very good copy.

Second Printing (same year as the first). Octavo (21cm); black cloth, with titles stamped in gilt on spine and front cover; illustrated endpapers; [12],13-309,[3]pp; illus. Inscribed by the author in year of publication the half-title page: "To Erskine and Sara / with never-ceasing affection / Sincerely & fraternally / Michael Gold." Further inscribed, by Wood: "From Erskine & Sara to their dear friend Max Rosenberg - echoing the above - The Cats / July 1930." A tight, clean copy in the original cloth binding; board corners lightly bumped and a few mild taps to board edges, the endpapers illustrated after woodcuts by Howard Simon. Solidly Very Good, lacking the scarce dustwrapper. A great association copy, inscribed by Gold to one of the leading leftist intellectuals and authors of his time. Wood (1852-1944) was a self-styled anarchist, aesthete, and painter. As an attorney in the 1920s he defended a number of prominent figures on the left, including the anarchist lecturer Emma Goldman, and contributed prolifically to the radical periodicals of the period. With his second wife Sara Bard Field, he was a long-time resident of Los Gatos, California, and was known for entertaining visitors at the estate "The Cats," mentioned in the present inscription. Interestingly, Wood did not have a reputation for sympathy with doctrinaire Marxist thought; it seems unlikely that Gold would have written Wood such an effusive inscription even a few years later, as during the Great Depression he would rise to become one of the leading apparatchiks in the CPUSA. Signed.

A first edition, first printing published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1976. Octavo. Original blue cloth gilt. Dustwrapper. Pp. 239. Bonington's narrative of the first successful ascent of Everest via the south-west face, a route that had already defeated the five prior expeditions. The first summiteers, Dougal Haston and Doug Scott, became the first Britons to set foot on the top of Everest. The book details their route to the summit and describes how following their successful ascent, they bivouacked with exhausted supplemental oxygen supplies at 28,700 feet spending a 'night out in China' over the border ridge at the South Summit. Illustrated throughout. Top edge slightly faded else a near fine, tight, clean copy in slightly creased and rubbed dustwrapper which has a very short closed tear to the rear panel but is in very good condition at least. SIGNED ON THE FRONT FREE ENDPAPER 'TO MICHAEL' BY DOUG SCOTT, CHARLES CLARKE AND DOUGAL HASTON. Charles Clarke was the expedition doctor and wrote Appendix 10 in the book on Medicine. Whilst copies signed by Bonington, Scott and other are relatively common and inexpensive, copies signed by the first summiteers together are very scarce. Dougal Haston lived abroad in his role as Director of the International School of Mountaineering in Leysin, Switzerland and tragically lost his life in an avalanche whilst skiing a steep couloir near his home in January 1977 soon after the book was published.

Vintage gelatin silver print, bust portrait in profile. Signed in pencil ("Johan Hagemeyer, Carmel") on the mount. 1 vols. 21.5 x 16.5 cm. (8-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches). Charles Erskine Scott Wood (1852-1944) was a writer, poet, soldier, corporate lawyer, associate of Clarence Darrow, and a lover of books. He was a founder of Portland's Public Library and the Portland Art Museum, self-proclaimed anarchist, atheist, regular contributor to radical journals of the day, and the lover of the famous suffragist, author, and activist, Sara Bard Field. As Wood's wife would not grant him a divorce, he and Field settled in San Francisco, and later in Los Gatos, where their home was a creative center for writers, artists and political activists in the Bay area. According to THE BANCROFT LIBRARY'S on line "Guide to the Johan Hagemeyer Photograph Collection": "In late 1916, just prior to [Hagemeyer's] return to California - and despite having had little photographic experience - Hagemeyer visited Stieglitz's 291 salon in New York City. The two developed an immediate rapport, and the meeting proved to be decisive for Hagemeyer. "We talked," Hagemeyer later recalled, "and he practically, by way of speaking, made me follow photography. I had already gone overboard for it" (OHT 22). "Back in California, Hagemeyer first apprenticed with a Berkeley-based commercial portrait photographer named McCullagh. Soon afterwards he moved south to Pasadena and in early 1918 met Edward Weston, already by then an accomplished photographer based in Tropico (now Glendale). The two took an immediate liking to each other and formed a friendship and working partnership that was of mutual benefit: Weston opened his home and studio to the upstart Hagemeyer, and Hagemeyer introduced the relatively unschooled Weston to new worlds of intellectual and aesthetic learning. The two would have a profound influence on each others' artistic development for years to come. (Arch. [see essays by Lorenz and Schaefer]) "Hagemeyer's talent developed rapidly and by the early 1920s he was exhibiting his work in many important photographic salons and garnering much popular and critical acclaim. After moving to San Francisco at the end of World War One, Hagemeyer soon discovered the intellectual and artistic colony of Carmel-by-the-Sea. In 1923 he established his first studio in Carmel and would remain anchored there for over 20 years. In 1924 he established the town's first art gallery - based out of his studio - where he exhibited the works of local painters, sculptors and photographers and hosted very popular musical performances. Shortly thereafter Hagemeyer opened a second studio in San Francisco, whose clientele could be rivaled by that of Carmel only during the smaller town's summer vacation season. In 1927, he was appointed staff photographer of the artistic/literary magazine The San Franciscan .
