Cloth. Condition: Good. First Edition. New York, NY, 1901, Charles Scribner's Sons. First edition. 8vo. Cobalt blue cloth with gilt lettering and pinecone design on spine and beautiful gilt artwork around the title ("THE RULING PASSION") on the front board, featuring pinecones and interwoven pine branches on a dark green field,…beautifully illustrated throughout, rough-cut pages, 296 pp. From author's preface: "To tell about some of these ruling passions, simply, clearly, and concretely, is what I want to do in this book. The characters are chosen, for the most part, among plain people, because their feelings are expressed with fewer words and greater truth, not being costumed for social effect. The scene is laid on Nature's stage because I like to be out-of-doors." Owner name on endpaper and page 101. 1/8" tear at top of spine, pages tanned. An attractive book and a collection of written snapshots of life in another time. Good+. Clark, W. Appleton; Armstrong, Margaret (binding) (illustrator).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very good. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. This 1897 first edition, in a brightly decorated binding designed by the great Margaret Armstrong, celebrates the work of Frank R. Stockton (1834-1902), subversive humorist and writer of both fairy-tales and science fiction, best known for his classroom st…aple, the fable "The Lady, or the Tiger?" Illustrated throughout in 16 plates by Peter Newell, W. T. Smedley, Frank O. Small, Alice Barber Stephens, and E. W. Kemble, the "Story-teller's Pack" holds among its contents: "The Magic Egg," in which a magician's betrothed investigates his use of a wish-granting egg to hypnotize his audiences; "The Widow's Cruise," chronicling "the very successful endeavor of a good woman, not only to rise to the level of the male maritime yarn, but to soar above it, and to look with pardonable contempt upon certain persons of the contrary sex, who had under-estimated her"; and the supernatural mystery "The Bishop's Ghost and the Printer's Baby," inspired by the crumbling tomb of Chaucer in Westminster Abbey. 7 3/4" X 5 1/4". viii, 380pp. Binding designed by Margaret Armstrong, with her monogram to upper board. Bound in green cloth over boards, ribboned in gilt and white to upper board and spine, both lettered in gilt, with scrolls and sack in white garlanded in gilt to upper board. Mild wear to binding, with sunning to spine and faintly to edges of rear board and bumping to corners and head and tail of spine. Top edge gilt. Binding is sound. Pages are gently age-toned throughout, with crease to last ten pages, else clean and unmarked. Illustrated in a tissue-guarded frontispiece and 15 black and white plates.

He was highly influenced by the famed western artist Frederic Remington. One of his techniques he described was painting with "Water-Oils", where he floated oil paint on water on paper, and then laid paper over the floating design, which left an abstract affect. Chapman specialized in landscapes, and although he spent most of his life in the East, he traveled extensively in the West, especially Wyoming and Arizona where a frequent subject was the Grand Canyon. In 1938, he spent a month at the Canyon and also painted ranch landscapes and in the Snowy Range of Wyoming. n the 1930s, he was commissioned by the Museum of Natural History in New York to paint a thirty-by-thirty-foot mural of the Grand Canyon as a background for the Puma group exhibit. He camped for several weeks at the rim of the Canyon while he worked on this project."--AskART ; "Alfred Garth Jones (1872-1955) was an English artist and illustrator who worked mainly in woodcut, pen and ink line art drawing and watercolour. In America, his illustrations for Henry van Dyke's short stories the Half-Told Tales appeared in the January to June, 1912 issue of Scribner's Magazine.[13] In October 1912, Charles Scribner's Sons published the first edition of Van Dyke's The Unknown Quantity, with artwork by various illustrators, of which Garth Jones was one ; Dark blue (C183)--calico grain cloth; gilt lettering framed by gold, pale orange design; flower motif repeated on spine in gilt; partially untrimmed ; Trade edition issued in dark blue cloth ; foxing ; name on front endpaper ; VG.

She was interested in art from an early age, and studied drawing and painting in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Decorative Art League, and the Museum of Industrial Art, and at a summer school in Annisquam, Massachusetts. In 1892, Weil obtained a bachelor of arts degree from Bryn Mawr College and almost immediately secured literary positions. Between 1893 and 1896, she read manuscripts for the publisher Macmillan and she served as an editor for Book Review and American Historical Review. Weil acquired her first camera in the winter of 1896-97 and established a portrait studio within a few months. Locating her studio in Philadelphia's main business district, Weil soon became one of the city's most well-known portraitists. She charged the highest fees and avoided the excess retouching that was routine in photographic portraits. Her specialties were children and home and outdoor portraiture. On the latter, she wrote two articles; one made up an entire issue of Photo-Miniature (January 1904) and the other appeared in the May 1906 issue of Country Life in America." -- Christian Peterson ; Decorated cloth binding by Margaret Armstrong, bound in turquoise blue cloth over boards; stamped in gold on front cover and spine; top edge gilt and trimmed. ; Trade edition issued in dark blue cloth ; foxing ; name on front endpaper ; VG.
