GRAPHIC ARTS COLLECTION

The sale of H. P. Kraus’s reference library, held in New York in De-cember 2003, provided a unique opportunity to acquire a number of important titles on the history of the book, publishing, booksell-ing, and collecting. We also purchased back runs of several significant periodicals documenting the history of printing, publishing, and the book arts, among them Aus dem Antiquariat, Corona, De grafiske fag, and De gulden passer. The artists’ books chosen this year demonstrate our continuing effort to obtain a comprehensive collection of the works of Leonard Baskin, as well as augment our holdings of the work of women printers and book designers, fill lacunae from earlier years, and encourage promising new artists. Finally, we acknowledge with gratitude a number of generous gifts to the collection, all of which are detailed in the individual entries. Unless otherwise noted, all pur-chases from July 2003 to June 2004 were made with funds from the Elmer Adler Endowment.

THE NUMISMATICS COLLECTION

Between July 1, 2003, and June 30, 2004, 206 items were added to the Numismatic Collection. Of these, more than 190 represent the second part of the outstanding medal collection presented to the Uni-versity by Cornelius C. Vermeule III ; a first installment of 247 med-als came to the Library in 2001–2002. Like the first group, the most recent one reflects the donor’s very wide collecting interests, includ-ing medals on canine subjects : more than 130 of this year’s group— medals, medalets, and plaquettes—are related to dogs. Among the finest is a large (83 mm), well-modeled medal by the prominent Ger-man artist Karl Goetz, sympathetically commemorating World War I’s battlefield “rescue dogs.” Goetz is better known for his deliberately crude satirical medals, cast in iron, denouncing Germany’s opponents in the war. (This example is bronze, but the medal must have origi-nally been produced in iron.)

The remainder of Dr. Vermeule’s latest donation contains a num-ber of medallic rarities, representing different subjects, centuries, and countries. Only two pieces will receive mention here, both American. The first is an original strike of the so-called Diplomatic Medal, pro-duced for the United States soon after the American Revolution by the French engraver Augustin Dupré. It is discussed in more detail

by Alan Stahl elsewhere in this issue. The second is Christian Go- brecht’s silver medal of 1826, made for the New England Society for the Promotion of Manufactures and the Mechanic Arts, and featur-ing a portrait of the Greek inventor Archimedes taken from a neo-classic model. The classical antecedents of European and American art have been an enduring focus of Dr. Vermeule’s scholarly publi-cations. About the design of the Gobrecht medal (which came from the collection of Dr. Vermeule’s forebear Benjamin S. Comstock, Princeton Class of 1880), he wrote : “The precise classicism which Gobrecht was to use in his United States coinage of 1836 and later . . . has come off with masterful monumentality and precision in this medal. Antiquity lives again at the knowing hand of a modern sculp-tor, engraver, and machinist” (Numismatic Art in America [Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 1971], 40).

Other gifts included two silver sigloi (Lydian and Persian, of the late sixth and early fifth century b.c.e.) from Morris Martin ; eight coins (seven ancient and one modern) from an anonymous donor in the Class of 1964 ; and seventy modern Latin American coins and twelve paper notes from Peter Johnson. Twenty-four items came by purchase. Five are modern medals ; the rest are coins : two Byzantine, one early Islamic, two early-modern Sicilian, the remainder classical. Four of these latter are Roman silver from ancient Cilicia Campestris, in today’s southern Turkey : a Trajanic tetradrachm of Tarsus (sng France 1394) ; Hadrianic tetradrachms of Tarsus and Mopsus (sng Levante 997 : this coin, and sng Levante 1332 : this coin) ; also from Tarsus, a didrachm of Caracalla (sng Levante 1037 : this coin). They supplement our present holdings in a generally rare group of Roman provincial silver issues. Earlier acquisitions in this series are described in Princeton University Library Chronicle 59, no. 3 (1998), 640–48.

RARE BOOKS

From July 2003 through June 2004, several hundred new titles and editions were added to the Library’s general Rare Book Collection and related special collections. Some of the most remarkable were gifts to the Library and are duly noted below. Others were acquired with funds provided by more than ten endowments designated for the purchase of rare books. These funds include endowments com-ing to the Library as gifts or as legacies from Howard Behrman, Sin-clair Hamilton, Lathrop C. Harper, Maurice Kelley, Carl Otto von Kienbusch, Senator David A. Reed, Willard and Margaret Farrand Thorp, and Christian A. Zabriskie, and from many individuals in memory of William S. Dix.

from the court library, donaueschingen

As early as 1905, when Princeton acquired 3,000 volumes from the collection of the German noble family Goertz, the Library has been adding tranches of books formerly owned by the European aristoc-racy. For example, in 1938 the Library purchased from the New York dealer Maurice Sloog more than 600 volumes of nineteenth-century French fiction from the palaces of the Russian tsars Alexander II and Nicholas II (New York Times, May 10, 1938). Such books continue to come upon the market, with those from the court library at Donaue-schingen being the most recent example. From those collections, now dispersed to the stocks of antiquarian dealers in the United States and Europe, the Library recently purchased an early handbook for

235

artists and artisans. It gives extensive information on the working of gold and silver, pearls, porcelain, glass, and wood, and details the making of pigments, dyes, lacquers, and varnishes. Its woodcuts show some of the furnaces, scales, and other equipment used in the various processes.

Nuremberg, 1696.

erasmus

During the 1870s, when American university libraries came to value rare books as such, Erasmus was among the select group of prized authors. Evidence of faculty initiative to encourage such purchases comes in a letter from Professor Francis James Child to his Harvard colleague James Russell Lowell, August 12, 1878 : “I keep an eye on all the books I think you would like, and as we can spend nigh 16000 a year now, one gets pretty much what he asks for. . . . including some really fine things in the way of old authors More, Erasmus, Spenser, Froissart, etc. We surely ought to have first editions of all the poets, of all the great literary pieces since printing began. . . . If we don’t we shall have to spend our money on a huge quantity of recent things which will be forgotten in twenty years” (quoted in Kenneth E. Carpenter, The First 300 Years of the Harvard University Library [Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Library, 1986], 121). Erasmus is still highly val-ued today, and to increase the wealth of Princeton’s holdings, Sidney Lapidus, Class of 1959, has presented a small but rich collection of works by him. These range from editions of his Adages and Letters, to a 1726 London edition of The Praise of Folly, edited by Bishop White Kennett, who was also a collector of Americana, another interest of the donor.

samuel stanhope smith

Still available in the book market today is the pioneering work in anthropology by Samuel Stanhope Smith (1751–1819), the seventh president of the College of New Jersey : An Essay on the Causes of the Va-riety of Complexion and Figure in the Human Species : To Which Are Added, Animadversions on Certain Remarks Made on the Original Diversity of Man-kind, first published in Philadelphia in 1787. Some historians regard this work as the first systematic American exposition of the question of race. Smith argued that such differences were the result of environ-ment, thus contradicting contemporary tenets holding for separate creations of distinct races. Via editions published in Edinburgh and London, his views were circulated in Europe, where this question had long been under debate. Unknown in the United States until its pur-chase this year is a 175-page German translation of Smith’s Essay by Friedrich Theodor Kühne, published in Braunschweig in 1790. The translator not only rendered the text, but also appended 35 pages of extensive annotations. The only other copies recorded of this transla-tion are a few in Germany and one in Denmark.

books with early originalphotographs

In the 1870s, the Library first organized an “Art Room” for the pur-pose of keeping special copies of illustrated books as well as what we now consider rare books. Since those days, the Library has made a special point of collecting illustrated books. In addition to those with woodcuts, wood engravings, etchings, engravings, lithography, po-choir, and other graphic processes, the Library has focused in recent decades on books illustrated with early original photographs. This pursuit was chiefly begun by former Graphic Arts Curator Joseph Rothrock, who took a cue from the work of his peers, especially Julia Van Haaften of the New York Public Library. Her 1977 article “Origi-nal Sun Pictures” listed 465 nineteenth-century books illustrated with original mounted photographs. Over the years, curators of other divi-sions joined successive Graphic Arts curators in gathering such books, so that now readers will find them as well in the Library’s collections of Western Americana, Hellenic materials, children’s books, Univer-sity Archives, and the general Rare Book Collection.

PULC-Fall04-191-246.indd 236 11/23/05 2:51:37 PM

237

In September 2003, nine photographically illustrated books were added, covering subjects ranging from early ballooning to the history of museums. Particularly noteworthy are the following : Photographic Views of Lynn, Massachusetts (1879) contains 430 advertisements (some pictorial ; some in color), as well as 24 mounted photographs by C. E. Cook, including one of Lydia Pinkham’s home and laboratory, where she made her famous “Vegetable Compound . . . a positive cure for all those painful Complaints and Weaknesses so common to our best fe-male population.” Woodcuts from Drawings for Tennyson’s Poems, by D. G. Rossetti (1919) is a unique maquette for an unpublished work on Ros-setti projected by the London photographer and bookseller Freder-ick Henry Evans. It includes eight mounted platinotype photographs by Evans of illustrations by Rossetti, five pages of text, and sixy-four

loose pages containing mounted clippings from art periodicals, wood-cuts, engravings, gravures, and two platinum photographs, all per-taining to Rossetti. This work of platinotype photographs joins an-other by Evans already in the Library, his privately printed Grotesques by Aubrey Beardsley (1913).

history of education

From a New England bookseller, the Library purchased in April 2004 a collection of more than 320 books chiefly on the history of education during the nineteenth century. Focusing on the theory and practice of education, primarily in America, the collection includes books, pamphlets, broadsides, and manuscript materials. Many of the leading educational practices of that day are represented, such as the Lancastrian school method, also known as the Monitorial system. More than a dozen books on the education of women add to those al-ready held by the Library’s Miriam Holden Collection on the History of Women’s Achievement. Two exceptional pieces are albums. One, from 1892, contains photographs commemorating the founder and distinguished alumni of the Round Hill School (Northampton, Mass., 1823–1833). The other is one of ten volumes prepared expressly by the Pittsburgh schools for the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1876. The Reports and Award [issued by the] United States Centennial Commission [ for the] International Exhibition, 1876 (Washington, D.C., 1880), vol. 8, p. 79, reports : “Pittsburgh occupied two alcoves with a very handsome display, consisting of . . . 10 mammoth folio volumes of manuscript work by pupils of all grades in the public schools. . . .”

“small libraries for little folks”

Children may collect books, but adults give them whole libraries. This observation has been true at least since the end of the eighteenth century. As machine-made paper and the steam press made books plentiful in the nineteenth century, the number of “small libraries” multiplied. But what was included in those first ready-made libraries for children ?

Americans may have known the English series of miniature librar-ies, such as the one started by the publisher John Marshall in 1800, with titles such as “The Bookcase of Instruction and Delight.” Later, the rise of common schools in the 1820s and 1830s prompted Ameri-

PULC-Fall04-191-246.indd 238 11/23/05 2:51:38 PM

239

can publishers to package books in sets aimed to meet the new de-mands of community education. A leader in this movement was the American Sunday School Union, founded in 1817 by representatives from several different denominations. In 1838, according to its cata-log, the Union offered at least three series : Common School Library, Public School Library, and Children’s Library, each uniformly bound and numbered. “They are put in a plain case, with a lock and key, and all necessary hangings and fastenings. Upon the door the words school library are painted . . . on the inside of the door is pasted a catalogue sheet of the library, and fifty catalogues are furnished besides . . . for the use of teachers and pupils. . . . the whole together is sold for thirtythree dollars. . . . [It] is all ready to suspend in the school-room arranged for immediate use” (American Annals of Education [April 1838], 179). Here was education in a box, expertly selected and prepared. As the decades progressed, the number of se-ries from the Union grew. By 1861, it advertised seventeen libraries, graded progressively from the “Infant Library” to the “Child’s Home Library, containing more than 230 little books, in fifty volumes . . . full of pictures. Bound in red morocco . . . and neatly put up in a box or case. . . .”

Although these cased libraries were produced in large numbers, few remain today. The Library’s new accession, a “Child’s Cabi-net Library” issued by the Union in the 1840s, is remarkable for the preservation of its original case and the near original condition of its books. Most remarkable of all is the inscription in the first volume, which notes that the library was a gift to a girl born in 1842, but that she died in 1847. The story does not stop there, however. A full set of the Child’s Cabinet Library consisted of fifty volumes. Was this just a random or pleasing round number ? I suspect not, for two reasons. These books approached sacred literature in character, and the day of the week reserved for reading such works was Sunday. Excluding the two most holy Sundays of the year, Christmas and Easter, leaves the number 50. It is entirely possible that this library was designed by the American Sunday School Union to provide literature for each of those Sundays—a book-of-the-Sabbath program, so to speak.

The Library’s new accession lacks only one volume, number 14, the “Memoir of Mary Gosner.” This story tells of a young girl re-membered as virtuous for the peacefulness with which she met death, just like the first owner of this cased library.

milberg collections

Leonard L. Milberg, Class of 1953, continues to build and donate four collections. At the end of June 2004, these collections had grown to include (approximately) : Irish Theater (chiefly twentieth century), 1,200 items ; American Poetry, 3,750 items ; Jewish American Writ-ers, 1,775 items ; and Irish Poetry, 755 items.

gifts

Mrs. David DuVivier presented the Venice, 1625 edition of Ima- gini delli Dei de gl’Antichi by Vincenzo Cartari ; when first published in 1556, the volume was considered to be “the first modern handbook of mythological imagery.” Samuel Ellenport has contributed an ad-dition to the Library’s collections on angling, Paul Schmookler and Ingrid Sils’s Rare and Unusual Fly Tying Materials (2 vols. ; Millis, Mass., 1994–1997). Michael P. McCarthy, Class of 1959, has given a rare copy of the first edition of Ross Y. Koen’s The China Lobby in American Politics (New York, 1960), one of the advance copies sent by the Mac-millan Company to reviewers prior to the book’s scheduled publica-tion date of March 21, 1960. According to the New York Times (April 6, 1960), “Representatives of the Chinese Nationalists in Washington complained to the publisher of an allegation in the preface of narcot-ics-smuggling with the connivance of Nationalist officials.” Macmil-lan recalled the copies and promised to reissue the book without the offending passage ; but in fact, the copies were “destroyed under . . . obscure circumstances” (New York Times, December 10, 1960). The book became an underground classic until it was reissued in 1974 by Harper and Row and Octagon Books. From Richard K. Paynter, Class of 1951, have come seven late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century American books, including a number of almanacs, such as the rare Baltimore Repository, for the Year 1801. Charles Rippin, Class of 1961, has given first editions of William Faulkner’s The Wild Palms (1939) and The Hamlet (1940), both inscribed by their author “No-vember 30, 1941, Oxford, Mississippi.” The story behind these gifts was related by their donor in the Autumn 2003 issue of the Chronicle. Also received from Charles Rippin was a privately printed booklet, Diadems and Fagots (1921), containing the last sonnets of Pierre de Ron-sard (in French), translated by Yvor Winters, and sonnets and frag-

ments by Olavo Bilac (in Portuguese), translated by John Gaw Meem, who inscribed this work to the donor, “April 12, 1981, Santa Fe, New Mexico.” From Mrs. Betty Sanford comes a miscellany of books dat-ing from 1773 to 1955, useful for the Library’s collections in book history and Hellenic studies. George F. Schmucki, Class of 1941, has presented several items : a scrapbook labeled “Theatre Programs, Jan. 1911—Fall 1912, Jan. 1913—Fall 1914” ; a souvenir book for Beauty and the Barge, produced at the New Theatre (London) in 1904 ; a real estate promotional book issued by the Erie Railroad in 1906 ; and other ephemera dating to this period from Paris and New York. Wal-ter E. Smith has given a copy of his substantive Anthony Trollope : A Bib-liography of His First American Editions, 1858–1884, with Photographic Re-productions of Bindings and Title Pages . . . (Los Angeles, 2003), based in part on his thorough examination of copies in the Morris L. Parrish Collection. Several gifts have come from Bruce Willsie, Class of 1986, including a companion work useful for understanding the collection of British sigillography : Achilles Collas, The Great Seals of England from the Time of Edward the Confessor to the Reign of His Majesty William the Fourth (London, 1837). Gifts were also received from Mrs. Charles L. Blair, Edward M. Crane, and Ms. Terry Meyers.

other noteworthy additions

beddoes, thomas (1760–1808). A Lecture Introductory to a Course of Popular Instructions on the Constitution and Management of the Human Body. Second Edition, Corrected and Enlarged. Bristol, 1798. A radical argu-ment in favor of allowing women to attend public lectures on medi-cal subjects. In the same year, the physician-philosopher Beddoes established the Pneumatic Institution for Inhalation Gas Therapy, whose first superintendent was Humphry Davy.

camerarius , joachim (1534–1598). Symbolorum et emblematum . . . centuria una-[quarta]. . . . Frankfurt, 1661. The 400 charming emblems depicting animals and plants were first published in separate groups of 100 each starting in 1590. The fourth and final part was pub-lished in 1605. A series of republications followed. This edition from 1661 joins those of 1654 and 1668 already in the Library.

cornarius , janus (1500–1558). Uniuersae rei medicae [epigraph-e] seu enumeratio. Basel, 1534. Annotated by Konrad Peutinger (1465–1547), whose library was held by the last surviving member of his

family until 1715, when it was bequeathed to the Augsburg Jesuits. When the order was disbanded, the collection was distributed to several German cities.

enfield, william (1741–1797). Institutes of Natural Philosophy, Theo-retical and Experimental. Second Edition, with Corrections and Considerable Additions in the Different Branches of Science : To Which Is Added an In-troduction to the First Principles of Chemistry. London, 1799. Enfield, a Dissenting minister, wrote this textbook after taking over the scien-tific tutorship at the Warrington Academy. Not having any exper-tise in the subject, and unable to find a suitable guide for his classes, he taught himself. His Institutes became a standard work for a long period, especially in the United States. The first American edition (Boston, 1802) was based on this revised edition ; it was reprinted until 1832.

franklin, s ir john (1786–1847). Narrative of a Second Expedition to the Shores of the Polar Sea, in the Years 1825, 1826, and 1827 . . . Including an Account of the Progress of a Detachment to the Eastward, by John Rich-ardson . . . Illustrated by Numerous Plates and Maps. London, 1828. In search of the Northwest Passage, Sir John Franklin’s combined ex-ploring parties charted more than 1,100 miles of coastline along the Beaufort Sea (which Franklin named) and in what is now Amundsen Gulf. The total number of miles surveyed and mapped on the Cana-dian continent was closer to 5,000, Franklin estimated, but not all were included under “discoveries” because the routes had long been traversed by fur traders.

homer. Homeri Ilias, id est, De rebus ad Troiam gestis. Bordeaux, 1587. An unrecorded edition of the first book of the Iliad, evidently for school use, extensively annotated by a contemporary reader, not only between the lines but also on the margins and interleaves. Some annotations are collocated comments under such headings as “Investigatio thematum et dialectorum” and “Collectanea quanti-tatis ex Baïllo.” This latter heading is probably a reference to Guil-laume Bailly’s book on Greek dialects and quantities, published at Lyon in 1590.

moscardo, lodovico (1611–1681). Note, overo, Memorie del museo di Lodovico Moscardo. . . . Padua, 1656. Both the history of the book and the history of collecting serve to expand our knowledge of the his-tory of learning. This richly illustrated Italian catalog of Moscardo’s

natural history and archaeological collections includes engravings of fossils, minerals, shells, animals, fruit, trees, and mushrooms, as well as antiquarian and archaeological objects, such as shoes worn by Native Americans at the time of Columbus (p. 304).
