Catesby, Mark. Scarlet Ibis.
Stunning print of this oft illustrated bird, from Catesby's "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida & the Bahama Islands, published in London 1754, 2nd edition. Plate T84, entitled "Numenius &c". From "the most famous color plate book of American plant and animal life... (and) a fundamental and original work for the study of American species" (Hunt). "Instead of perpetuating the previous stiff, profile manner of presentation, Catesby devised the method of mingling plants and animals in logical groupings, most often with accuracy and with proportional scale between figure and plant. He did his utmost to convey something of the particular habits of movements of each species. Simple though they are, he infused his compositions with a sense of movement and vitality not usual prior to his work" (Norelli). Copper engraving with original hand-color. 22 x 35 cms, nice plate impression and ample margins. A very fresh impression, lovely contemporary coloring.

Miller, Henry. Tropic of Cancer.
Miller, Henry. Tropic of Cancer. Grove Press Inc. New York 1961. 8vo, 318pp, Orig. brown quarter cloth & marbled boards, no dust jacket (as issued). One of a signed limited edition, #77 of 100 copies. First legal US edition. Includes a letter from Grove Press dated March 7 1962 presenting the copy to James Pasta. A most interesting letter links the above edition to the first edition of Miller's classic. This letter, from the US Customs Service dated Oct. 22, 1935, tells Mr. Pasta that there was "(1) copy: "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller." which was being temporarily held by Customs. This first edition was banned in the U.S., and Mr. Pasta was never to receive the copy that Henry had taken pains to send him. 27 years later, this Grove Press edition was sent by way of replacement. In other letters to Pasta, Miller says "I can never forget what it meant to me the day I ran into you at Borough Hall and you offered me a berth in the Park Dept. It was a sort of turning point in my life." Miller was down and out, and Pasta got him a job in the Parks Dept. Pasta describes this incident: "The next day I procured a job for him - at which he really worked - but only long enough, it turned out, to earn his passageway to Paris." The world can only wonder what would have become of Henry Miller had he not bumped into Jimmy Pasta and eventually made it to Paris.

Gaultier, J. [Antarctic & Arctic Map]. Cartes Geographiques.
Gaultier, J. [Map Puzzle for Children]. Cartes Geographiques. A beautiful set of three puzzles for children in their original box. The puzzles consist of a double hemisphere map of the eastern & western hemispheres entitled "Mappe Monde"; "Europe et ses Chemins de fer" (railways are marked; and "France et ses Chemins de fer". Mon. Logerot, J. Gaultier, editeur, Quai des Gds Augustins, 55, Paris. No date, but ca. 1850's. Lithographed maps mounted on thick card with original block color marking the different countries and seas. Each puzzle measures 9 1/2 by 11 3/4" and has 24 pieces; the map of France is complete, the map of Europe and the world both have a couple small feet missing. The box is in excellent condition and measures 10 1/4 x 12 1/4". The cover illustration is an attractive lithograph depicting a woman in classical dress showing a globe on her lap to a group of four children. There are four vignettes of natives; the pyramids & sphinx of Egypt; Eskimos ice fishing and a ship in front of an iceberg, quite possibly Dumont D'Urville's "Astrolabe" in Antarctic waters. There is no date but many clues, as with most maps. It is post 1840 because the world map shows Terre Adelie discovered by Dumont D'Urville in Jan 1840; Ross's discoveries of 1841 are marked and Melbourne is marked. However, the Queensland border established in 1860 is not marked, but Brisbane is. Lake Gairdner, Lake Eyre and Adelaide are marked in S. Australia. This, and the type of lithograph printing indicates an 1850s, early 1860s printing date. Not in Gumuchian. An unusually nice set of children's puzzles, in very good condition.
