In den WarenkorbZustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket, As Issued. Limited Edition #473 of 500. THE FIRST BOOK FROM THE PARIS PRESS THAT HELPED DEFINE AMERICAN LITERARY MODERNISM. Rococo marks the inaugural publication of Edward W. Titus's Black Manikin Press, establishing the typographic standards and artistic identity… that would distinguish one of the most admired private presses of the American expatriate movement in Paris. Printed in a limitation of only 500 copies, it combines Ralph Cheever Dunning's refined verse with Howard Simon's elegant woodcut illustrations in a volume that reflects Titus's commitment to craftsmanship as much as literature. Issued from Titus's Rue Delambre press, only steps from Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company, the book represents the beginning of a publishing enterprise that would soon become associated with D. H. Lawrence, Anaïs Nin, Henry Miller, and other important voices of twentieth-century literature. For collectors of fine printing, Rococo is the foundation upon which the reputation of the Black Manikin Press was built. A PARIS LITERARY CROSSROADS. Edward W. Titus occupied a unique position within the expatriate literary community of 1920s Paris. Bookseller, publisher, critic, and patron, he fostered relationships with writers and artists working beyond the limits of conventional commercial publishing. The establishment of the Black Manikin Press allowed Titus to unite careful hand-press craftsmanship with contemporary literary experimentation, producing books that were both typographically distinguished and culturally significant. THE FIRST IMPRESSION. Rather than beginning with controversial novels or established literary figures, Titus chose this modest collection of poetry to introduce his new press. The decision reflects his confidence that exceptional typography, thoughtful design, and fine illustration could establish the reputation of a publisher before notoriety or commercial success followed. The collaboration between Dunning and illustrator Howard Simon produced a remarkably harmonious debut that announced the artistic ambitions of the Black Manikin Press. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Original quarter white parchment spine lettered in gilt over blue-grey paper-covered boards with blue paper title label mounted to the upper cover. Measuring approximately 9 by 5.25 inches. Unpaginated (22 pages). Printed in a limitation of 500 numbered copies, this being copy number 473. Illustrated throughout with three tipped-in woodcut plates by Howard Simon, the first bearing the artist's signature in the block. CONDITION: Near Fine. The bindings are tight and square, holding firmly. Internally clean and unmarked with light, even age-toning. Most leaves remain unopened beyond the preliminary gatherings. The parchment spine displays gentle, even toning with faint hand-soiling typical of the material, light rubbing at the extremities, and minor offsetting to the endpapers. An exceptionally well-preserved example of a notoriously delicate production. BIBLIOGRAPHIC SIGNIFICANCE: THE BIRTH OF BLACK MANIKIN PRESS. Rococo occupies a pivotal place in twentieth-century private press history as the first publication issued under the Sign of the Black Manikin. It established the visual and typographic principles that Edward W. Titus would continue to refine throughout the following decade, laying the foundation for one of the most respected expatriate presses operating in Paris. PRINTING MODERNISM. Although remembered today for publishing D. H. Lawrence, Anaïs Nin, and Henry Miller, Titus first demonstrated his ambitions through finely printed limited editions such as Rococo. The volume illustrates how the private press movement served not merely as a vehicle for literature but as an expression of bookmaking itself, where typography, paper, illustration, and binding formed a unified artistic statement. A POET WITHIN POUND'S CIRCLE. Ralph Cheever Dunning belonged to the expatriate literary community encouraged by Ezra Pound during the flourishing years of literary modernism in Paris. Howard Simon's re. Illustrations by Howard Simon (illustrator).

In den Warenkorb[Florence: ca. 1763]. This handsome manuscript, prepared for presentation to Emperor Francis I (1708-65), Holy Roman Emperor and Grand Duke of Tuscany, is a beautifully written contemporary fair copy of the original holograph manuscript now in the Museo Galileo (formerly the Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Flor…ence), compiled by Targioni-Tozzetti (1712-83), the great natural historian, librarian, director of Florence's botanical garden, and professor of botany. He was, after Spallanzani, the most active Italian naturalist of the 18th century. Emperor Francis I, the husband of Maria Theresa, was well-known for his interests in the natural sciences and for assisting his wife in running the complicated Austrian dominions. The collections of natural history specimens in the "Specola" next to the Pitti Palace trace their origins to earlier Medicis and to Georg Eberhard Rumpf, who had sold a large collection of 360 shells to Cosimo III de' Medici in 1682. The present catalogue was compiled at the instigation of Antoniotto Botta Adorno (1688-1774), prime minister of the Duchy of Tuscany. Thanks to Cosimo III's other natural history acquisitions, by the middle of the 18th century, Florence could boast one of the greatest collections of shells, botanical, and mineralogical samples in Europe. In 1775, all the collections were gathered into the "Specola" at the instigation of Grand Duke Peter Leopold which was the only scientific museum or "Wunderkammer" of its kind specifically created for the public to view. The present catalogue, following Targioni-Tozzetti's original manuscript, describes 3449 items, of which 2340 are zoological (mostly shells), 375 botanical, and 734 mineralogical and rock specimens. The preface to the catalogue describes the collections and their histories, their provenances including the Far East, etc. The main body of the catalogue is divided into three sections: zoological, botanical, and mineralogical samples. Each description is quite elaborate with full accounts of each specimen, references to other books, references to where other examples are illustrated, etc. Provenance: This manuscript entered the Apponyi family library in Oponice, Slovakia in the latter part of the 18th century and was sold in Prague in June 1939. ?
