Thomas Hill was an American artist primarily known for his paintings of northern California and of the Yosemite region in particular, which Hill had visited along with photographer Carleton Watkins and illustrator Virgil Williams in 1865; his first painting of the region, View of the Yosemite Valley, was chosen as the backdrop at the head table of President Barack Obama's 2009 inaugural luncheon. His best-known work, The Last Spike, became famous both for its sheer scale and for its detailed portraits of all 71 individuals involved in the ceremonial joining of the CPRR and UPRR lines at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869. The present print is purported to have been used by Hill to establish a copyright of the image with the Library of Congress shortly after its completion, with copyright records noting a "photograph on file" which is believed to have been returned to Hill shortly afterwards. In a pamphlet published by Hill entitled History of the "Spike Picture" and Why It Is Still in My Possession, he wrote, "When my picture was placed on exhibition at the Art Association, Mr. [Leland] Stanford expressed regret at its publicity, and urged me to take it from before the public... He also urged me to withdraw the photograph, of which I had taken orders for a great number. I have proof that I did so, robbing myself all these years of what would have given me quite a revenue." Only three copies of this print are known to exist, of which this is the only one in private hands; the other two are held by the Yosemite National Park Museum and the Oakland Museum of California. Hill's original painting now hangs in the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. This lot is located in Chicago.

[Muir, John (1838-1914)]. Kneeland, Samuel (1821-1888). The Wonders of the Yosemite Valley, and of California. Boston: Alexander Moore; Lee & Shepard, 1872. 4to. 2 maps, 10 mounted albumen photographs credited to John P. Soule, with tissue guards. (Very light occasional spotting, minor offsetting.) Original brown cloth gilt additionally stamped in black with matching design stamped in blind on rear, all edges gilt (rubbing, wear to spine ends). THE FIRST ATTRIBUTED LITERARY PUBLICATION OF NATURALIST JOHN MUIR. Third edition, revised and enlarged. The Wonders of the Yosemite Valley is an account of Samuel Kneeland's 1870 visit to the Yosemite Valley from Boston. Although the photographs are attributed to Boston photographer John Soule, there is no evidence that Soule ever visited California and they are considered much more likely to be the work of either Eadweard Muybridge or M.M. Hazeltine. The present work includes the first attributed literary appearance of naturalist John Muir, who moved into the Yosemite region in 1868 and within a few short years established himself as an authority on the region's natural features. Though Muir's writings had anonymously appeared in the second edition, his celebrity had grown considerably since thanks largely to his 1871 meeting with Ralph Waldo Emerson, who according to John Tallmadge had seen in Muir the ultimate fulfillment of the prophet-naturalist he'd dreamt of so many years before. This led Kneeland to name Muir as often as possible in the present edition, believing that doing so would boost sales.

Eadweard Muybridge is today best known as father of motion study, with his 1878 The Horse in Motion series of cabinet cards acknowledged to be the first example of chronophotography, a precursor to the motion picture, ever produced. After a falling out with Leland Stanford, who had originally commissioned Muybridge to create The Horse in Motion as a means of settling a bet, Muybridge moved to Philadelphia, where he continued his motion studies. In 1887 he produced Animal Locomotion, comprising photographs of men and women, often nude, performing mundane tasks in Muybridge's studio.

He paid his first visit to the Yosemite Valley in 1880 and would return every summer for the following twenty-four years. During this period he painted numerous scenes of the region and kept careful track of its overall state, which in turn led him to file a formal complaint against the Commissioners to Manage Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove of Big Trees, alleging that officials were squandering public funds, unlawfully cutting down trees, and forcibly entering private residences in the valley. It was due in part to these issues and to the efforts of John Muir that Yosemite was declared a national park on 1 October 1890. This lot is located in Chicago.

Cincinnati, Ohio: Ball & Thomas Photographic Art Gallery (toning, some soiling to print and mount, small surface abrasion near top edge of mount). ?James Presley Ball (1825-1904) is one of the most renowned African American photographers, at one point owning the largest photographic gallery west of the Appalachians. When visiting White Sulphur Springs, Virginia in 1845 he met John B. Bailey, an African American Daguerreotypist from Boston where he acquired the passion and skill of photography. He opened a studio in Cincinnati later that year, and though it was unsuccessful, he continued his art with studios in Pittsburgh and Richmond and traveled as an itinerant Daguerreotypist. In 1849, he reopened a studio in Cincinnati. He hired his younger brother Thomas Ball to work as an operator, and in 1852 hired his future brother-in-law Alexander Thomas to work with him. By 1857, their gallery was one of the grandest in the United States attracting notables including Frederick Douglass. In 1887 Ball was chosen as the official photographer of a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation held in Minneapolis-St. Paul. In 1888, he moved to Helena, Montana with his son where he operated a studio for several years before moving again in 1892 to Seattle.

[Civil War]. A pair of Union Army Minié balls salvaged from the Gettysburg Battlefield. 1863. Approximately 1 1/4 in. each.

Tribal Chief Spotted Tail (1823-1881) was a major figure in Sioux relations with the United States government during the latter half of the nineteenth century. He participated in the Grattan Massacre in 1854, but decided not to join in Red Cloud's War in the late 1860s, having determined that the Indians' armed resistance of white encroachment was largely futile. Instead, he took to speaking and negotiating on behalf of his tribe, including signing the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which established the Great Sioux Reservation. Spotted Tail traveled several times to Washington, DC, mostly in the 1870s, to defend the rights of his people, especially to their land. He met with many important government officials during these trips including Commissioners of Indian Affairs Ely S. Parker and John Quincy Smith, and President Ulysses S. Grant. Spotted Tail was, in the end, shot in the back and killed by Crow Dog, a Lakota sub chief, in 1881 for reasons which have been disputed. Though he certainly made a name for himself in his own right, it is also possible that Spotted Tail was the uncle of the famed warrior, Crazy Horse, as two of his sisters were married to the elder Crazy Horse.

Lot: 108 - Gardner, Alexander (1821-1882). Photograph of Brulé Sioux Chief Spotted Tail and Wife.

Gardner, Alexander (1821-1882). Photograph of Brulé Sioux Chief Spotted Tail and Wife. Albumen photograph, 7 1/2 x 5 in. (including margins), on 9 3/8 x 6 7/8 in. cardstock mount, featuring Brulé Sioux Chief Spotted Tail and his wife (toning, light soiling to print and mount, otherwise very good). Spotted Tail is seated on a stump with a pipe, blanket, and beaded tobacco bag, while his wife is seated at his feet, wearing a fringed dress and beaded necklace. The photograph is numbered "338" in the negative. Uncredited, but originally taken by Alexander Gardner in Washington, DC, in 1872. Tribal Chief Spotted Tail (1823-1881) was a major figure in Sioux relations with the United States government during the latter half of the nineteenth century. He participated in the Grattan Massacre in 1854, but decided not to join in Red Cloud's War in the late 1860s, having determined that the Indians' armed resistance of white encroachment was largely futile. Instead, he took to speaking and negotiating on behalf of his tribe, including signing the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which established the Great Sioux Reservation. Spotted Tail traveled several times to Washington, D. C., mostly in the 1870s, to defend the rights of his people, especially to their land. He met with many important government officials during these trips including Commissioners of Indian Affairs Ely S. Parker and John Quincy Smith, and President Ulysses, S. Grant. Spotted Tail was, in the end, destroyed probably by his own fame and/or ego, as he was killed by a jealous sub chief, Crow Dog, after allegedly stealing the wife of a crippled man. Though he certainly made a name for himself in his own right, it is also possible that Spotted Tail was the uncle of the famed warrior, Crazy Horse, as two of his sisters were married to the elder Crazy Horse.

Sanders, W.T. imprint on verso (even toning to print, light soiling to mount, very good overall).

While at Fort Bridger, Private Howard began producing photographs of his surroundings as well as portraits of those stationed at the fort. In 1877, Howard was invited by Captain William S. Stanton to produce photographic documentation of his expedition to Wyoming and Nebraska. During the Stanton Expedition, Howard photographed areas such as Fort Laramie, the Black Hills, Fort McKinney, Camp Robinson, and Camp Sheridan, among others. In 1878, Howard was transferred to Fort Sanders, W.T. to continue with his original assignment as a member of the Fourth Infantry Band. While at Fort Sanders, Howard set up a portrait gallery and produced images such as this of the officers, men, and their families until he was discharged from the army for completing his enlistment in 1880. See Charles Howard (photographer) Wikipedia page with references from Howard's primary biographer Ephriam D. Dickson III. Fort Sanders, established in 1866, was located near Laramie, Wyoming. The post was intended to protect the construction crews of the Union Pacific Railway, the Overland and Lodgepole Creek emigrant routes, and the Denver-Salt Lake stage route. It was abandoned and transferred to the Interior Department in 1882. Provenance: The Thomas Minckler Collection of Western Americana; Cowan's, American History, 19 June 2009, Lot 372.

Lot: 133 - [Lincoln, Abraham]. Hesler, Alexander, photographer. Platinum photograph printed by George B. Ayres, ca 1890.

[Lincoln, Abraham]. Hesler, Alexander, photographer. Platinum photograph printed by George B. Ayres, ca 1890. 8 3/4 x 6 3/4 in. platinum photograph of Abraham Lincoln taken on 3 June 1860. Although unsigned, the photograph was printed ca 1890 by George B. Ayers. Overall near excellent, with minor edge and corner wear to print. Following Abraham Lincoln's formal nomination as the 1860 Republican candidate for president, party officials from across the country sought new images to promote his candidacy, fearing that those images (in particular those by Alexander Hesler) currently in circulation depicted the Republican nominee as unkempt when compared to his rivals. And so, as Hesler would later write, "I went to Springfield, and made the negative that was afterward used for the campaign badges." All told, Hesler took four photographs that day, including this portrait, catalogued by Ostendorf as sitting O-27. Alexander Hesler was an American photographer who operated studios in Galena, Chicago, and Springfield, Illinois, and his images of Abraham Lincoln are best remembered today. Upon his retirement in 1865, fellow photographer George B. Ayres bought Hesler's studios and all of his photographic negatives. Beginning in the 1880s, Ayres reproduced images of Lincoln from Hesler's original negatives and sold them from his Philadelphia studio. The original Hesler negatives were damaged during shipment from Philadelphia to St. Louis in 1933. This lot is located in Chicago.

Provenance: Thomas Charles Smith (1797-1876) (ownership bookplate). PHILLIS WHEATLEY'S FOURTH PUBLISHED POEM AND HER FIRST IN A MAGAZINE. Phillis Wheatley is believed to have been born in West Africa in 1753, likely in modern-day Senegal. At eight years old, she was sold by a chief to a visiting trader and transported to Boston aboard the slave ship Phillis, where she was then sold to wealthy merchant John Wheatley. Despite her enslaved status, the Wheatley family dedicated themselves to her education, and Phillis was able to read Greek and Latin classics in their original languages by the time she was twelve. Influenced by these works, Phillis began to write her own poetry, an endeavor supported by the Wheatley family, who steadily removed her from all domestic chores so she could focus on her writing. By 1773, she had published four poems in various periodicals, primarily in England. That year, at Susanna Wheatley's request, she accompanied John Wheatley to London in the hopes that she might have better luck finding a publisher for her book of poems there than she would in the colonies. With the publication of Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral in September 1773, she became the first published African-American author. This lot is located in Chicago.

Alger's novel adapts a moralistic tone, which many readers of the period found to be aspirational. The plot and theme were repeated many times in Alger's subsequent novels and eventually became ripe for parody by later authors, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose novel The Great Gatsby is considered a dark retelling of Ragged Dick.

Following the secession of South Carolina in December 1860, support in the Arizona Territory of the United States began to lean heavily in favor of the Confederacy, largely due to perceived inaction by the U.S. government in dealing with Native American attacks on white settlers and the closing of the Butterfield Overland Mail route, which had offered access both to California and to the east. In March 1861 a convention met in Mesilla and a secession ordinance was adopted. In July the Arizona Territory was proclaimed a Confederate territory, following Colonel John R. Baylor's defeat of Union forces at the Battle of Mesilla. Interest in the Arizona Territory on the part of the Confederacy was strong both due to its large population of Native Americans, whom the Confederate government intended to enslave, as well as its access to California, which the Confederacy hoped to take over for the state's precious metal mines and its seaports. The Confederacy's hold on the Arizona Territory was effectively destroyed in March 1862 during the Battle of Glorieta Pass, when General John Potts Slough defeated Baylor's forces, though it continued to be represented in the Confederate Congress until 1865, as the territorial government had fled to San Antonio. The present map represents the brief, seven-month window during which the Confederate government held full control over the Arizona Territory. This lot is located in Chicago.

One of the final promotional endeavors to bolster the "Indian Territory" cause for statehood.

Though intended as a permanent Indigenous homeland, the territory was gradually opened to non-Native settlement through land runs, railroad expansion, and federal allotment policies in the late nineteenth century. On November 16, 1907, Indian Territory and neighboring Oklahoma Territory were formally combined and admitted to the Union as the state of Oklahoma, becoming the 46th state.

Lot: 209 - [Map]. Thrasher, Frederic M. (1892-1962). Chicago’s Gangland…1923-26. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1927.

[Map]. Thrasher, Frederic M. (1892-1962). Chicago’s Gangland…1923-26. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1927. Offset lithograph thematic map printed in red and black, 648 x 445 mm, a few small splits to folds; folding into original envelope. Issued to accompany sociologist Frederic Thrasher's seminal 1927 study, The Gang: A Study of 1,313 Gangs in Chicago (seen here), the map depicts the locations of youth gangs in the "poverty belt," rather than focusing on Capone's Mob. Thrasher applied thematic mapping to depict organized criminal activity to help support his thesis that such activity thrives in urban spaces. His concern was that second-generation immigrant children evolved from “play groups” and into youth gangs. His central conclusion was the identification of a place called “Gangland” … “a geographically and socially interstitial area of the city”. Numerous notations printed in red provide added detail of gang territories that include “Hobohemia” in the Gold Coast, “Jewish-Polish Frontier” in Douglas Park, and “Slave Town” in what is now Randolph Street Market. This lot is located in Chicago.

Lot: 212 - Seward, William Henry (1801-1872). Partly engraved document signed ("William H. Seward"), 23 November 1868.

Seward, William Henry (1801-1872). Partly engraved document signed ("William H. Seward"), 23 November 1868. 20 x 14 in. (sight) passport accomplished in manuscript, folds, very minor marginal soiling. Framed and matted, overall 26 1/2 x 20 1/2 in. (unexamined out of frame). William H. Seward began service as Secretary of State in 1861 under President Abraham Lincoln. Seward suffered near-fatal wounds during the attack in his home by Lewis Powell on April 14, 1865, as part of John Wilkes Booth's plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln and in the process decapitate the Union government by killing its highest-ranking officials. He survived and continued to serve under Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson, negotiating the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1868. The present passport was issued to New York congressman Samuel Sullivan "Sunset" Cox, who though staunchly opposed to Lincoln's efforts to extend full citizenship to former slaves nonetheless remained on good terms with him and other members of his administration, Seward in particular, throughout the last months of the Lincoln administration. During Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial he was personally summoned to Washington at Seward's request to lobby Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri to acquit. Henderson ultimately proved the decisive vote, and Cox was credited by Seward and others with having saved Johnson from the indignity of being the first president to be removed from office.

Original spiral-bound printed wrappers (light soiling and edgewear, some marginal toning and minor losses, rear cover of 1947 issue partially detached). A NEAR-COMPLETE RUN OF THE INFLUENTIAL FRENCH PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL. Photographie published its first annual at the end of 1930, featuring the highly influential essay "Photographie Vision du Monde" by art critic Waldemar George (1893-1970), which discusses the history of photography and some of its most important practitioners. The magazine was founded by Charles Peignot, a Parisian graphic designer who in 1927 had established the Arts et Métiers Graphiques magazine, which profiled trends in the graphic arts from around the world. The first issue of Photographie was printed in 1930 and comprised photographs previously published in Arts et Métiers Graphique; for the next ten years, Peignot would publish photography annuals, until the 1940-44 Nazi occupation of France forced him to suspend operations of both publications. A final issue was published in 1947. Important not only for the photographers included within its pages but also for its documentation of the period between the Great Depression and World War II in Europe, Photographie was later described as "a treasure trove of photographic images by now world-famous photographers, which still retain their validity today—in the sense of a 'new' aesthetic" (W. Mohrhenn and Wilhelm Schürmann in the foreword to the 1983 reprint). This lot is located in Chicago.

It was written in the months following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on 4 April 1968 - coincidentally, also Maya Angelou's birthday - at the suggestion of James Baldwin, as a way of working through her grief and depression over King's death. Baldwin would later call the resulting work "a Biblical study of life in the midst of death." Its themes of identity, racism, trauma, and literacy led to equal parts acclaim and criticism, with the book hailed as one of the greatest works of biography ever produced by an American author and one of the most frequently banned or challenged books in the United States.

SIGNED BY ATWOOD on the half-title. A classic of dystopian fiction, The Handmaid's Tale was written, according to Atwood, as a response to Western commentators who looked at oppressive tactics against women in other countries who claimed that such things "can't happen here." She noted in a later interview, "I didn't put in anything that we haven't already done, we're not already doing, we're seriously trying to do, coupled with trends that are already in progress..." During the book's promotion, Atwood was noted for carrying newspaper clippings and excerpts from history books detailing many of the same practices found in her work. In the years since its initial publication, The Handmaid's Tale has become one of the most challenged and banned books in North America. It was later adapted into an award-winning television series starring Elisabeth Moss as Offred. A FINE COPY.

The Guild of Women-Binders was a bookbinding organization active from 1898-1904 and organized by Frank Karslake, founder of the Hampstead Bindery, as a way to sell fine bindings produced by women. Many of these bindings were produced by women who trained under such master bookbinders as T.J. Cobden-Sanderson and Douglas Cockerell, among them Ellen G. Woolrich and Edith J. Gedye. The organization was short-lived, in large part due to Karslake's mismanagement, and many of the binders previously employed went on to continue their professional careers elsewhere, albeit in a far diminished capacity. [With]: [The Golden Bindery]. Kendell, Sarah Ellet. Autograph manuscript of a speech delivered at the Fine Arts Building. [Chicago, ca. 1908]. 11 pp., 8vo. Central vertical fold, minor toning. In this letter, Golden Bindery co-founder Sarah Ellet Kendell discusses the art of bookbinding and her own experiences learning the craft. In part: "It was with great reluctance I accepted the invitation to speak before you on a subject that has already been spoken on by so great a master of the craft as our teacher, Mr. T.J. Cobden-Sanderson, and yet often a lesser light may give a warm view to some of the principal steps of any great art..." The Golden Bindery was founded by sisters Sarah Ellet and Mary Ellet Kendell. The Kendell sisters traveled to England in the early 20th century to study under T.J. Cobden-Sanderson, founder of the Doves Bindery and Doves Press, and later returned to Chicago to open their own firm, The Golden Bindery. Their work was exhibited at the 1907 Arts and Crafts exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. Upon Sarah Ellet Kendell's death in the early 1910s the firm disbanded, though Mary Ellet continued to produce her own bindings for many years afterwards. Mary Ellet's daughter would later donate a trove of materials produced by The Golden Bindery to Yale University, where they reside today. This lot is located in Chicago.

Lot: 285 - Flaubert, Gustave (1821-1880). Madame Bovary. Moeurs de Province. Paris: Michel Levy Freres, 1857.

Flaubert, Gustave (1821-1880). Madame Bovary. Moeurs de Province. Paris: Michel Levy Freres, 1857. 2 volumes in one, 8vo (178 x 110 mm). Half-title. (Lacking second title and front free endpaper, small stain and marred area on title, partially affecting imprint, date renewed in a later hand.) Contemporary quarter roan, marbled boards (rubbing to extremes, fore-corners worn). Provenance: early ownership stamp on half-title. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE with "Senart" for "Senard" on the dedication page. First published in the magazine La Revue de Paris in 1856, Madame Bovary was immediately sued for "outrage aux bonnes moeurs" ("affront to public decency"). The book, which tells the story of Emma Bovary, a provincial doctor's wife who engages in adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in pursuit of romantic and material fulfillment, was considered scandalous and offensive to public morals and religion by French authorities. Flaubert and his publisher were brought to trial in January 1857 by the French government on charges of offenses against public and religious morality. The prosecution argued that the novel depicted adulterous behavior in a sympathetic light and included what they considered explicit descriptions of Emma Bovary's affairs. The authorities believed the book could corrupt readers, especially women. Flaubert's defense attorney, Jules Senard, successfully argued that the novel actually condemned Emma's actions by showing the dire consequences of her behavior. The court ultimately acquitted Flaubert, and the novel was allowed to be published in full. Widely recognized as one of the greatest novels, the book has been described as a "perfect" work of fiction; Henry James thought that it "stand[s] almost alone" among novels, holding itself with "a supreme unapproachable assurance", and Vladimir Nabokov said that stylistically, Madame Bovary "is prose doing what poetry is supposed to."

FIRST AMERICAN PAPERBACK EDITION OF CASINO ROYALE. Without Fleming’s permission, Popular Library changed the title from Casino Royale to You Asked for It, believing that an American audience wouldn’t understand the title.

Golding, William (1911-1993). Lord of the Flies. London: Faber & Faber Ltd., 1954. 8vo. Modern burgundy morocco gilt; original cloth cover and spine bound-in at rear. FIRST EDITION. Lord of the Flies was written in part as a subversion of an 1857 children's adventure novel entitled The Coral Island, which focused on the supposedly civilizing influence of British colonialism on native populations. Discussing the idea with his wife, Golding asked about writing a book "about children on an island, children who behave in the way children really would behave?" Its title is a literal translation of the name of the Philistine deity Beelzebub, who was the god of pride and warfare.

Roadwork was the third of Stephen King's novels to be published under the "Richard Bachman" pseudonym, which King claims to have adopted both to circumvent the stipulation that he can publish only one book per year and to test whether or not his success was based on talent or a lucky break at the right time. King later said that he wrote the book to make sense of his mother's death, saying that "Roadwork tries so hard to be good and find some answers to the conundrum of human pain." Though initially not a fan of the novel, he claimed in the second edition of The Bachman Books that of the four original books published under his pseudonym, Roadwork had become his personal favorite.

In essence, the racial ills chronicled in the novel appear to have been realistically drawn from the author’s life” (100 Banned Books, pp.404-405). This lot is located in Chicago.

In full: "Your testimonials of service appear to be defective for want of the answers of the agent which you will please to send as early as possible. I am, Sir, your obedient servant..." Robert Maugham, grandfather of William Somerset, was a major legal figure in London during the nineteenth century, particularly in the area of copyright law. Maugham emphasized the historical evolution of copyright, surveying the period from the advent of printing to the Statute of Anne (1710), and criticized what he saw as two principal injustices: the statutorily limited copyright term and the requirements for library deposit, which he considered both economically unfair and detrimental to authors. Maugham advocated for significant reform. He argued passionately for the extension—if not perpetuation—of literary copyright and for reduction in the number of copies authors were required to deposit for public libraries, especially the British Museum. To support his stance, Maugham marshaled various historical sources and cited authorities from British and continental traditions, including John Milton and continental perspectives from France and Germany, presenting these in an appendix to the treatise. His arguments helped shape the ongoing nineteenth-century debate on copyright law, and his treatise became a standard reference, informing legal discussion in Britain and the United States throughout the century.

Original pink cloth gilt (spotting to covers); dust jacket (spine toned and chipped with losses at ends). Provenance: Martin Secker, publisher (inscription); Craig V. Showalter (bookplate). FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. MARTIN SECKER'S COPY, INSCRIBED on the front free endpaper by the publisher, which reads in part: "Shortly after publication here it was withdrawn and the remaining stock destroyed following a threat of legal proceedings for libel and damages from solicitors acting for William Somerset Maugham. Martin Secker." Gin and Bitters was published in America in 1931, a thinly veiled attack on Somerset Maugham via its central character, Leverson Hurle, a famous novelist who had travelled extensively in the Far East, the title of the book itself an overt pastiche of Cakes and Ale. The book was published pseudonymously, not long after Cakes and Ale, and many initially assumed that it was written by Hugh Walpole in retaliation for Maugham's caricaturing of him in that work. Walpole immediately wrote Maugham denying this, and it seems the latter was relatively untroubled by the publication. However, when it was announced that the work was to be published in the UK, initially by Somerset Maugham's own publishers Heinemann, then Martin Secker, Maugham took the advice of his brother Frederic and issued a writ which was brought to bear upon the publishers, and the book was withdrawn, despite considerable alteration by Mordaunt. Mordaunt published the work under a new title, Full Circle, and made changes to soften the characterization of Maugham for the English edition, but it was still considered libelous, and the publisher withdrew it, "but only after a number of copies had been distributed" (Stott F30).

In any case what I had to say on the subject you are interested in is so sketchy that I should not know how to write it down. Why do you not fit in much with a woman (I forget her name, but she was tall and handsome and sat at the feet of H.G. [Wells]) whom we met at Rebecca West's.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Bambi is often viewed as a parable for the dangers Jews faced in Europe in the aftermath of the First World War, a view reinforced by its author and its American publisher, Max Schuster, who fought for its publication in the United States. The book proved to be a great success, with its first print run of 75,000 copies quickly selling out. It was later adapted into the animated motion picture of the same name by Walt Disney, who met Salten at Schuster's request following his escape from Germany in 1933 and would spend five years developing his adaptation, which would go on to be nominated for three Academy Awards and is now considered one of the best films to come out of the "Golden Age of Disney."

[Science & Technology]. Diderot, Denis (1713-1784) and Jean le Rond D' Alembert (1717-1783), editors. Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers...Nouvelle Edition Geneva: Chez Pellet, 1777-1779. 39 volumes, 4to (254 x 184 mm), comprising 36 text and 3 plate volumes. Half-titles, numerous folding tables, and 441 engraved plates (lacking frontispiece in vol. II, spotting throughout, toning). 19th century quarter calf, spines in 6 compartments and 5 raised bands (light rubbing to extremities). FIRST QUARTO EDITION OF DIDEROT'S LANDMARK WORK. The Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers was first published in France from 1751-1772, comprising 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates for a total of 71,818 articles and 2,784 illustrations. Due to its sometimes radical contents, in particular those articles relating to surgery and human anatomy, the book was banned by French royal edict in 1752, which accused its authors of "destroying royal authority, fomenting a spirit of independence and revolt, and...laying the groundwork for error, for the corruption of morals, and for irreligion and atheism." Because of this, later editions of the work (including the present copy) were printed in Switzerland to avoid censorship by the French government. Among its contributors were Diderot, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Voltaire, and Louis de Jaucourt, who is believed to have contributed approximately a quarter of the finished work. The present edition was printed with three supplementary plate volumes in order to keep costs low, though the cost of the full set ensured that it would remain out of reach of everyone but the upper middle and upper classes. Upon the outbreak of the French Revolution, it became popular to associate Diderot's work with political revolt, with political enemies of Thomas Jefferson famously reciting passages from the Encyclopédie whenever discussing events in France. In 1911, the editors of the Encyclopaedia Britannica wrote, "No encyclopaedia perhaps has been of such political importance, or has occupied so conspicuous a place in the civil and literary history of its century. It sought not only to give information, but to guide opinion." [With]: D'ALEMBERT, Jean le Rond (1717-1783), et al. Encyclopedie Methodique.

Original turquoise cloth stamped in gilt, black, and red (some spotting to covers near top edge); dust jacket (light toning to spine and extremities).

IN THE FIRST STATE DUST JACKET priced $5.95 and with the correct code of 0369 at the foot of the rear flap. Based on Vonnegut's own experiences as a POW who survived the Allied bombing of Dresden in 1945, Slaughterhouse-Five was Vonnegut's first bestseller. Almost immediately upon publication, it became one of the most frequently challenged books in the United States public school system. In a landmark 1982 ruling brought before the Supreme Court over the book's removal from a public school, the Court declared that "local school boards may not remove books from school library shelves simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books and seek by their removal to 'prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion'." Despite this, the book remains one of the most banned books in the United States. Currey, p.504; 100 Banned Books pp.133-141. This lot is located in Chicago.
