Thanks to the kind generosity of Henry Wessells, today I attended the 48th Annual New York Antiquarian Book Fair. Here are some things I got to pick up and/or look at there:
• William Timlin's original sketchbook for The Ship That Sailed to Mars, a book I'd never heard of and am now in love with - and delighted to find reproduced online - here are some of my favorite illos!
• First editions of Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice
• Renaissance books of anatomical drawings
• The copy of Charlotte's Web that E.B. White inscribed to Vladimir Nabokov
• Jane Morris's own copy of Tennyson's Maude from the Kelmscott library (and a steal at $650)
. . . and my very favorite:
• Tuccaro, Arcangelo: TROIS DIALOGUES DE L'EXERCICE DE SAUTER, ET VOLTIGER EN L'AIR (Paris, 1599) (Three dialogues on the practice of jumping and vaulting in the air. With figures that will serve as a perfect demonstration and understanding of said art. ) - open, of course, to the page showing his famous triple jump.
