[Flying Fish Press & Triangular Press] Julie Chen and Barbara Tetenbaum
Portland and Berkeley: Triangular Press; Flying Fish Press, 2011. Number 55 of 100 copies. Signed by the book artists, Julie Chen and Barbara Tetenbaum. In their statement about the book, they write: "Working together again after almost a decade (Ode to a Grand Staircase, 2001), Glimpse is a new collaboration between Barb Tetenbaum and Julie Chen inspired by a conversation about how a person translates their life experience into a narrative form: prominent events may stand out as the nameable moments, yet it is the space between these events that life, in fact, is lived." The mid-century photo album structure contains text written by Chen, examining this question. Her text is printed on both surfaces of each of the 15 hinged sleeves. Windows in the sleeves reveal small glimpses of the pull-out cards, each written and printed by Tetenbaum and containing dates and events of the non-important moments of her life. These texts are supported by diagrams, grids, and mundane imagery. Glimpse is printed letterpress using a combination of photopolymer plate, found images, wood blocks, wire, and handset type. It is housed in a box with magnetic closure. Box size: when closed: 8 1/8" x 11 3/4" x 1 1/8" Fine.

[Foolscap Press] Petrarca, Francesco; Thomas Twyne (translator); Hans Weiditz (illustrator); William M. Ivins, Jr. (essay); Lewis W. Spitz (introduction)
Berkeley: Foolscap Press, 1993. Weiditz, Hans. Hard Cover. Number 111 of 175. "Here is a book that fairly crackles with wit and wisdom, for six hundred years have not dimmed its ability to speak to our minds through the clarity of its perspective, the power of its language, and the vivid pertinence of its thought. Because of the genius shown in his lyrical works, Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) inspired the Renaissance in Italy. He set patterns and standards for the revival of learning and, at the same time, was a powerful advocate for the preservation of valuable manuscript material. From the classic models, Petrarch transmitted a refinement of taste and thought, and a polish and politeness of speech and style" (Foolscap Press). This is the first printing of Thomas Twyne's translation of 'Phisicke Against Fortune' together with Hans Weiditz's wonderful woodcut illustrations which were created for the German edition of 1532. The original German edition included 261 woodcuts illustrating each of Petrarch's diaglogues. "Hans Weiditz (c.1495-c.1536) was an important member of the small group of outstanding woodcut designers of the German Renaissance whose membership included Albrect Durer, Hans Holbein, and Hans Burgkmair.The fact that he was nearly alone in illustrating a great number of secular books makes him in many ways a more interesting artist than his more famous colleagues" (Foolscap Press). This edition features 46 of the dialogues with the accompanying illustrations. Notes on the symbolism of the illustrations are located in the back of the book. Bound in quarter leather with red Japanese cloth boards. The title is blind stamped on the spine. Housed in slipcase with red Japanese cloth edges and illustrated paper covered boards. Tan leather title label to spine of slipcase with embossed title. 138 pages. PRI/022213. Fine.

Harland, Henry
New York and London: n.p. 1887 and 1903. Two scarce and charming letters written by Henry Harland (1861-1905), one sent from New York City in 1887 and the other sent in 1903 after he had moved to England. Harland had two distinct periods in his writing career. He was from New York and while there published sensational potboilers under the pseudonym of Sidney Luska. This novel and two others from that period are referred to as the "Jewish Trilogy." Harland moved to London in 1889 and came under the influence of the Aesthetic Movement. He began publishing under his own name, and with Aubrey Beardsley was founder and an editor of the Yellow Book. He also wrote a number of pieces for the periodical. In the one page1887 letter Harland writes to Mrs. Bishop to say how broken-hearted his wife had been to have missed her visit. He accepts an invitation to dinner for the following Wednesday, noting their appreciation for having been asked to come early. The two page letter of 1903 is to Mrs. Bain in Paris. It concerns her report of the death of Miss Senhouse of Gosforth [Senhouse was very old family name in Gosforth in Cumbria]. He says that he was surprised because she seemed in the best of health and he had expected the "dear and witty old lady" to live for years, He confesses that he had failed to answer her last letter and that he had never read beyond the first line in any of her letters because "she wrote such a wonderfully illegible hand." He thanks Mrs. Bain for telling him more of Miss Senhouse's life and for throwing a new light upon her character. Both letters are written on folded 6 x 9 inch paper and are in very good condition . Both have creases where folded and there is a little staining on the blank last page of the 1903 letter. ALS/043013.
