[2], 80pp., some heavy browning and spotting throughout, 1062 items described with printed prices. 2 works bound in one, 8vo (225 x 140 mm), later quarter calf, spine lettered in gilt "Catalogues = Gardnier, Stanley, Goldsmid, Devonshire", alas, without the Goldsmid and Devonshire catalogues. Stanley wrote his own notes for this catalogue which was strong in early Italian and Spanish books. "One of the most magnificent collections ever brought to the Hammer." - Horne, p. 674. William Nelson Gardiner was born at Dublin, June 11, 1766, of poor parents. He possessed considerable knowledge of books, and was a very spirited engraver. Accumulated misery, both bodily and mental, led him to take his own life. The evening before his death he addressed a letter to the editor of the 'Morning Chronicle', who had shown him repeated kindness, enclosing a "Brief memoir of himself." In this letter he declared that his sun was set for everthat his business had nearly declinedhis catalogue failedhis body covered with diseaseand he had determined to seek that asylum "were the weary are at rest." He also states "I turned bookseller, for the last 13 years have struggled in vain to establish myself. The same ill fortune which has followed me through life, has not here forsaken me. I have seen men on every side of me, greatly my inferiors in every respect, towering above me; while the most contemptible amongst them, without education, without a knowledge of their profession, and without idea, have been received into Palaces, and into the bosom of the great, while I have been forsaken and neglected, and my business reduced to nothing. It is therefore, high time for me to be gone." De Ricci, p.88. Quaritch, p.271.

Softcover. Condición: Very Good. First edition. Slim octavo. [34]pp. Illustrated in black and white, including halftone portraits (several with fellow soldiers), a reproduction of an oil portrait, several awards, and a reproduction of a drawing by Mulhauser. Wrappers worn, first and last pages very lightly foxed, very good in stapled unprinted wrappers. Inscribed by Mulhauser's mother (presumably the publisher) on the blank first page. Robert Samuel Mulhauser was born in Wisconsin and living in Highland Park, Michigan in 1941, when he jointed the Royal Canadian Air Force. He achieved the rank of Pilot Officer. On June 4, 1942, his plane was presumably shot down by enemy aircraft while on a raid on Bremen (northwestern Germany). He was awarded the Memorial Cross by the Canadian Government. We locate no copies of this memorial volume in either *OCLC* or the trade.

A rich source on American horology and business history. Original folio ledger, measuring 13" X 8." Unrecorded in OCLC, and completely absent from the trade and any standard bibliographies.

View of the Pennsylvania Mine (later part of the Empire Mine) in Grass Valley, California, circa 1909. Postmarked Tuolumne & Stockton R. R., 16 August 1909. Addressed to Miss Bessie O'Day of San Francisco. The Empire Mine is one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest and richest gold mines in California. Between 1850 and its closure in 1956, the Empire Mine produced 5.8 million ounces of gold, extracted from 367 miles (591 km) of underground passages. Very good, or better. (#165027).

Unbound. Condición: Fine. First edition. Measuring approximately 7" x 8½". A fine copy, laid into publisher's unusued mailing envelope with colophon leaf. One of 99 numbered copies Signed by Atwood. From the colophon: "This is [Atwood's] first individually printed art work and it does not have a title, but clearly it shows an interesting metaphor that connects her to her craft as writer - mother bird hatching the alphabet." A striking image, nicely printed on Arches deckle-edge rag paper. *OCLC* locates two copies (Yale, University of Illinois).

10.5x16 cm (4 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches); on gray card mount. "Astoria, Oregon" in pencil on the verso. Lumberjacks using a team of oxen to pull a large log onto a skid road. At the turn of the twentieth century oxen (sometimes horses or mules) or steam donkeys were the primary ways to bring logs out of the woods. Edges lightly rubbed. A fine image. (#167125).

10x14 inch canvas panel on pine stretcher, acryllic (we think), amateur work showing a distant view looking eastward of the Shasta-Shastina massif, forests and dry slopes in foreground. Thriftstore kitsch twiddled by another and younger artist, which now bears, superimposed, an image-conformable "name-tag" consisting of a bead of pigment accompanied by suitable brush-shading that integrates tag with original image: an aesthetically-satisfying defacement. Signed multiple times recto and verso, details below. Upper right-hand corner has been drilled through and through, with an eighth-inch shaft and quarter-inch countersunk depression. Pigment, canvas and wood are in very good condition. This Shasta image is not a paint-by-numbers item, but likely a copy from a calendar photo. On the stretcher is pencilled, "Painted by Evelyn Smith (niece to Lattie Grunsky from [illegible]). Painted about 1970-71". Over-printed in black crayon in a different and more youthful hand, "raven mahone". Recto bears three attributions: a small illegible signature in lower right, an Asian-seal impression in blood-orange lower left, and the tag itself. We believe we met the graffiti artist manning a garage sale with friend; while he went off to change the paltry twenty we proffered, she contributed our information that the tagger characterized the work as "a collaborative effort.".

Albumen print, 12.5x17.8 cm (4 7/8 x 7 inches), circa 1872-1880s. Possibly ditch construction for hydraulic mining. Provenance is the J. F. Miles collection. Very good. (#167538).

Condición: Fine. A striking photograph of a group of miners in Grant's Pass in Oregon in the 1890s, including a woman and a girl. We believe the photograph to be taken near Tom East Creek, which provides drainage from the Greenback Lode Mine, produced a prolific amount of placer gold in the 1890s. A wonderful photograph that has a somewhat otherworldly quality due to the long exposure times and the sharpness of the subjects in relation to the creek behind them. Silver gelatin photograph measuring 7 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches. Fine condition, some wear to mount.

19.6 x 12.5 cm (7 3/4 x 4 7/8 inches). A photograph of Castle Crags from the Sacramento River, circa 1890s. The nearby mineral springs at Dunsmuir were a popular tourist destination in the 1890s. Castle Crags, a well-known rock formation in the Trinity Mountains of Northern California, is now protected by Castle Crags State Park and the Castle Crags Wilderness Area of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Rubber stamp on the verso of the mount: "A. H. Green / Castle Crag, / Cal." A. H. Green is not found in Mautz. The Crags are faint, but visible. Very good. The mount is rubbed. Rare. (#165047).

Condición: Very Good. A photograph of a Chinese man on horseback in western attire, possibly taken in Oregon or California in the 1890s. A search of genealogical and newspaper records yield results for one or possibly two Charley Youngs of Chinese descent living in the United States during the period. We find a record of a Charley Young of Chinese descent living in San Francisco in the 1890s, with a birthday listed as 1865. There are also multiple newspaper accounts of a Charley Young in Portland, who married the superintendent of a school in Portland: "Charley Young, an Americanized Chinaman." He married Mary Bly, superintendent of the Baptist Chinese Mission School in Portland. A Charley Young later appears in court records for a smuggling case involving prominent Chinese merchants in Oregon, and describes a "Charley Young, an Americanized Chinaman recently married to a white girl." We are unable to tell, given the limited identification on the photograph, whether these records refer to our subjects, but regardless the photograph provides an uncommon visual record of Chinese-Americans in a rural United States setting, particularly during this period of severe population decline following the Chinese Exclusion Act. Cabinet Card measuring 5 ½ x 4 inches on larger mount. Identification on ink verso. Some fading, very good.

In the mid-1930s, prolonged drought across the Great Plains, combined with falling agricultural prices, forced thousands of farm families into foreclosure and displacement. The crisis, central to what would become known as the Dust Bowl, led to widespread liquidation of farms and personal property, often through public auctions held under distress conditions. Offered here is a stark press image documenting one such sale in Nebraska. The original caption reads in part: ?This farm auction shop is typical of the mid-west where farmers, driven from their land by the drought, are forced to sell at auction their farm machinery, household effects in order to procure enough money to move to more fertile spots. The government is aiding the stricken farmers through loans and relief. It is thought that not less than 100,000 families may be moved from their farms by the government.? The photograph shows the exterior of a ?Sale Room,? with equipment and household goods assembled for liquidation. Rothstein, working for the Resettlement Administration, produced some of the most widely circulated images of rural dislocation during the Depression. Images such as this were distributed through press agencies to illustrate both the severity of the crisis and the federal government?s expanding role in relief and resettlement, and were reprinted later. This is an attractive original copy with fine contrast, with 1936 press markings verso. Minor edge wear and toning to caption, else very good. Press photograph, 8 x 10 inches, by Arthur Rothstein, distributed by International News Photos, with original caption on verso dated 1936.

Ex.-libris Douglas Heber Hill Grainger & Cecil George Savile Foljambe Cecil George Savile Foljambe, 1st Earl of Liverpool, PC (18461907), known as The Lord Hawkesbury between 1893 and 1905, British Liberal politician.Upcott 321. As per Upcott except that Upcott makes no mention of Volume II Part II. According to B.M. catalogue 'pp.319-358 were printed but not published until the sheets were purchased by Thomas Thorpe Bookseller in 1837. He then issued them with together with an index with the copies of Volume 2 in his possession.John Duncumb (17651839), topographer. '. In 1780 Duncumb was engaged by Charles, eleventh Duke of Norfolk, the owner of extensive estates in the county, to compile and edit a history of Herefordshire. The terms were £2 2s. per week for collecting materials, the resulting work being the property of the duke. The first volume, containing a general history of the county and account of the city, was published in 1804; and the first part of a second volume, containing the hundreds of Broxash and Ewyas-Lacy, with a few pages of Greytree Hundred, in 1812. At the death of the duke in December 1815 payments ceased and Duncumb stopped work. The unsold portions of the work, with the pages of Greytree hundred then printed but not published, since they were part of the duke's personal estate, were taken from Hereford to London, where the parcels remained in a warehouse until 1837. The whole stock was then purchased by Thomas Thorpe, the bookseller, who disposed of his copies of the first and second volumes, with the section on Greytree, to which he appended an index. The second volume was completed with an index in 1866 by Judge W. H. Cooke, who issued a third volume, containing the remainder of Greytree, in 1882 and volume 7, covering the parishes in the hundred of Grimsworth, in 1892. Subsequently, volume 4, edited by the Revd Morgan G. Watkins, appeared in 1897, covering Huntington and Radlow hundreds. Volumes 5 and 6 appeared in 1912 and 1913 respectively, compiled by John H. Matthews and covering Wormelow hundred .' US$1485.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Half plate ambrotype. Matted with preserver in original embossed leather case with purple velvet pad inside the front cover. Image size approximately 4.25" x 5.5". Professionally cleaned and resealed. A few spots of tarnish but otherwise clear and near fine. In a leather case stamped in gilt and blind with metal clasps. Spine of the case has been professionally rebacked and is a bit rubbed but very good. A portrait of four seated young women who are similarly, or perhaps uniformly, dressed in striped outfits, and a single standing young man with a suit with a vest which seems to similarly match the women's dresses. No obvious evidence of the identities of the five, but anecdotally we are told the old seal was labeled "Appalachian Singers", and the close-to-uniform outfits on the group suggests a group of performers. Many individuals and groups of minstrels performed Appalachian music, but we have been unable to determine exactly who this group may have comprised, or whether they were just generically identified by a previous owner. Our date range is suggested by the mat, preserver, and case on the ambrotype. Appalachian music comprises many styles and sources, likely this group, whoever they may be, would have performed the traditional Anglo-Celtic ballads of the region, as opposed to the African-American influenced minstrel music that dominated the second half of the 19th Century. In any case, a pleasing and striking image.

Attractive mixed-media artwork (watercolor & pencil) depicting Captain Ahab in the bow of the longboat looking to harpoon Moby Dick whose flukes wag menacingly as he sounds, Quequeg and presumably Ishmael at the oars. Sihned by the artist in pencil, "N. Caruso." Very light spotting at the top and bottom margin, one letter (the 'o') in Caruso's name slightly obliterated, but on the whole a fine and dramatic example.

Unbound. Condición: Fine. Gelatin silver photograph. Approximately 7¾" x 9¾". Image of an African-American woman in a white two-piece bathing suit standing on the bow of a small sail boat holding a tension wire in one hand with the shore visible in the distance. Contemporary stamp on verso: "Life Photo by Gordon Parks" with a blue pencil notation ("#217 S") in an unknown hand. Fine, with the tonal contrast of the image crisp and bright. Parks was the first Black photographer to work on the staff of *Life* magazine, covering everything from Paris fashion to the Civil Rights Movement. He is generally considered to have made a major contribution to fashion photography during his time with *Life*, from 1948 to 1968, before going on to be the first Black director of a major Hollywood film *The Learning Tree* in 1969.
