First American Edition, new “translation” by Lawrence Ecker (Esar Levine?), of A Woman and Her Master published by Carrington in 1904, and translated from the original French by Marius Boisson.

Of note is that the present volume, along with four others from Levine’s Panurge Press including Crossways of Sex by Dr. Jacobus X, were involved in obscenity litigation due to the “obscene” circulars Levine had mailed out advertising the books in question, which were sexological or erotica-lite in content.

First Edition, limited to 500 copies. There was a large paper edition bound in leather but the regular edition, as here, is more desirable on account of the lavish gilt publisher’s binding. Bentley 369: “The enthusiasm and comprehensiveness of this work are of considerable historical importance...” Wade, Yeats Bibliography, 218, quoting a letter from Yeats: “The writing of this book is mainly Ellis’s, the thinking is as much mine as his. The biography is by him. He re-wrote and trebled in size a biography of mine. The greater part of the ‘symbolic system’ is my writing; the rest of the book was written by Ellis working over short accounts of the books by me, except in the case of the ‘literary period’ the account of the minor poems, & the account of Blake’s art theories which are all his own except in so far as we discussed everything together.”

Aman-Jean, a friend of the symbolist poets and admirer of the pre-raphaelite painters, showed at the first two Salons de la Rose+Croix in 1892-93. His most characteristic pictures are of women, usually pensive, mysterious, and withdrawn. Roger-Marx wrote that he drew his models “with the all-embracing tenderness of a Baudelaire or a Maeterlinck...the unfathomable mystery of their gaze and their distant smiles betray troubled thoughts taking wing.”

First Edition, a Presentation Copy, with a lengthy inscription to Monsieur d’Argouges de Heury, and four pages of neatly handwritten notes at the conclusion of the text to the Thésée… that continue Contamine’s commentary upon it with thoughts subsequent to its initial publication. The first work is Contamine’s biographical elegy to the great French sculptor Nicolas Cousou, who had died in 1733. In the second, Contamine discusses Vanloo’s painting Theseus’ Conquering of the Minataur, which hangs in the museum at Besançon. Only three copies of Eloge Historique in OCLC; no copies of Thésée Vainqueur…, which is not found in the standard references; we presume Contamine’s authorship of it secondary to his ms additions to the text with continuous pagination in his hand.
