The Annunciation.
(France 15th century) A single vellum leaf, measuring 6 5/8 by 5 inches (16.7 x 12.3 cm.). The leafis from a Book of Hours with a miniature painting of the Annunciation. The Virgin sits before an embroidered hanging, in a taberbacle with corinthian columns in marble veined in gold, roofed in gothic tracery with small sculpted figures at the corners. Her garments, and the angel's, are shot with gold. The tabernacle stands in a walled garden, with trees visible against the sky beyond. An elaborate floral initial "D," in rose, blue, white, and gold leaf, with a smaller illuminated initial and four lines of text, are below the miniature. The page is framed with a border of periwinkles, roses, violets, violas, and bluebells, in red, blue, green, ivory and gold. The border is further embellished with the figures of the Virgin reading, and two angels, one playing the lute. On the verso of the leaf are fourteen lines of text with five illuminated initials, and a partial border of foliage and flowers, with a blue-faced dragon-monster among pinks and violets. Some paint has chipped from the faces in the Annunciation, and from the cloak of the reading Virgin, due to the wrinkling of the vellum. Otherwise this fine leaf is very well-preserved. Matted with moir, silk, in a double-glazed church window frame.

HEARN, LAFCADIO. Set of Five Japanese Fairy Tales.
Tokyo T. Hasegawa (c. 1898-1922) Five octavo volumes, variously paginated. Includes The Boy Who Drew Cats (intermediate printing B, circa 1898); The Goblin Spider (later printing, circa 1899); The Old Woman Who Lost Her Dumpling (mixed printings A and B, circa 1902); Chin Chin Kobakama (mixed printings, circa 1903); and The Fountain of Youth (second printing, state B, circa 1922). All volumes frenchfold. These five delightful books comprise the full complement of tales that Lafcadio Hearn translated for T. Hasegawa's Japanese Fairy Tales series. Printed on crepe-paper, each page is illustrated with extremely fine, crisp woodcuts, intricately colored in both jewel-like and subtle tones. In some cases the layout was designed so that the text was printed over the colors of a "rainbow roll." The designation of the printings does not indicate priority. In fact, as Jacob Blanck noted, "Study of the complex problem of identifying the earliest printing of each of the five translations contributed [by Hearn] to The Japanese Fairy Tale Series inescapably leads to the conclusion that the problem is insoluble." Each color was printed by a different wood block, and the blocks did not wear uniformly so were continuously being recut. All five volumes very fine in gorgeous color-illustrated crepe-paper wrappers, tied with silk. (BAL 7930, 7932, 7937, 7939, 7975).

Firmin Didot himself, influenced by the strong contrast between thick and thin lines of his father's matrices, cut the famous types used by Didot in the early nineteenth-century. He was also a Latin scholar and translator.
