MARIA - ONE OF AN ESTIMATED ONE HUNDRED COPIES PRIVATELY PUBLISHED BY JOSEPH CORNELL. NP. (Queens, NY).: Salamander Editions, 1954. First Edition. 12mo. Printed Wrappers with Glassine. Artists' Book. Fine./Fine.. np (12 pp), 1 b&w illustration. This tiny gem of a pamphlet was self-published by Cornell in 1954 and distributed only sparingly. Quoting from Deborah Solomon's insightful biography, "Utopia Parkway: The Life and Work of Joseph Cornell" - "As he had once designed special issues of Dance Index, he now published two pamphlets devoted to two great divas. "Maria" (1954) was dedicated to Maria Malibran. And "Bel Canto Pet", done the next year, was his tribute to Giulia Grisi. Cornell printed the pamphlets at his own expense, in editions of 100, and sent them to his friends. While Cornell was a well-known balletomane, virtually nothing has been written about his interest in opera. Many of his bird boxes bear opera-related titles, and comments in his diary suggest that Cornell associated birds with stars from Opera's "golden age". Cornell's pamphlet "Maria" was almost as cryptic as his bird boxes. It doesn't even give the singer's last name. All text, no pictures, it consists of an excerpt from the German author Elise Polko and relates the story of an unnamed diva who becomes enraptured with a nightingale's song". While some of the copies given as gifts by Cornell contained hand-collaged elements or greetings from the artist, this is an exceptionally bright, flawless (save for some slight oxidation of the two staples) example in a glassine wrapper of this rarity, just as Cornell would have received it from the printer.

In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. Designed by Caresse Crosby. Published by the renowned Surrealist abettors The Black Sun Press, this is the first English language edition of Max Ernst and Paul Eluard's charming collage/prose collaboration of 1920, "Misfortunes of the Immortals". This new version is augmented by "Three Drawings Twenty Years Later" by Ernst. Printed by handset letterpress at the Gemor Press in 1943, this unfortunately utilized exceptionally cheap wartime newsprint, which due to the high acid content has become brown and brittle with age. The paper covering the boards at the spine has chipped off entirely (albeit neatly), and both the front and back covers show some rubbing, spotting and discoloration. The inside front board bears a previous owner's ink inscription, and the endpapers show a slight bit of soiling. A few pages of the text have chipped at the edges, and the textblock is at this point fragile. Having described these flaws, it should be noted that this collaborative gem is still quite presentable, stable, and in no danger of falling apart; the pages just need to be handled gingerly.

New York's Arthur Cohen was the premier purveyor of books and ephemera on twentieth century Modern Art movements for nearly twenty years. Ex Libris' copiously researched, scholarly, illustrated catalogues stood as unparalleled bibliographic tools at a time when there was a paucity of available reference to the documentary literature of the modernist avant-gardes. This slender sixteen page bulletin describes one hundred and thirty-four examples of illustrated books, exhibition catalogues, periodicals, documentary literature, posters, pamphlets, and printed ephemera all related to Max Ernst. Priced both individually and as a single library, this extraordinary collection of works on or by the Dada and Surrealist master belonged to the Houston architect Marvin Watson Jr., with much of it acquired from the collection of The Black Sun Press' Caresse Crosby via the Gotham Book Mart. And while at the time of its 1982 publication the prices here seemed astronomical, thirty years later they are finally downright bargains! A handsome copy of this uncommon and fascinating reference.

Paris: Editions Jeanne Bucher, 1936. First Edition 1/250. 4to. Sewn Illustrated Wrappers. Livre D'Artiste. Good +./No Jacket - As Issued.. (84pp), profusely illustrated in small woodcuts along with 15 color and 5 full page monochrome collotype plates + b&w cover. Cover designed by Marcel Duchamp. Text in French. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. "La Septieme Face du Dé" is repeatedly acknowledged as one of the triumphs of the Surrealist illustrated book. It masterfully combines twenty of Hugnet's prose poems alongside overtly erotic, beautifully collaged and photomontaged images. The cover design and typography by Marcel Duchamp was created especially for the publication featuring a Man Ray photograph of the sculpture "Why Not Sneeze Rrose Selavy". Cited on pages 92-93 of "The Book of 101 Books", this example (number forty-four of the two hundred and fifty copies on vélin) shows soiling, patination, and wear to the wrappers - most notably a tiny chip missing from the front cover at the crown of the spine and diagonal soft-creases through each of its foredge corners. The top and bottom edges of the wrappers show some wear and abrading, and the rear cover is slightly sunned along its extremities. The contents and textblock are intact and sound, and for the most part quite bright though showing a bit of foxing to the inside front cover, the front free endpaper, and the first few pages along the foredge. The edges display typical mild age patination and soiling, and there is in addition a tiny diagonal soft-crease to a portion of the textblock at the upper foredge corner. Still in all, it is a most presentable copy of this exquisite tome (housed in a modest custom cloth chemise slipcase) that has been priced accordingly.
