Finely bound and printed copy of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin.<ul><li>Alexander Pushkin (Russian).</li><li>Translated into English by Vladimir Nabokov (Russian-American) with the Russian in Cyrillic transliteration by Stanislav Shvabrin.</li><li>Illustrated by Stan Washburn (American).</li><li>San Francisco: Arion Press, 2018.</li><li>256 pages.</li><li>Folio.</li><li>Frontispiece reproduces a painting by Stan Washburn, portraying Pushkin and Nabokov side by side, painted especially for this edition.</li><li>Limited edition of 300 copies, this being 75.</li><li>Sewn by hand with linen thread over linen tapes, with handsewn bands at the head and foot in three colors of silk thread, and cover with a brown goatskin spine with gold foil-stamped titling and tan cloth over boards and with original prospectus.</li><li>Housed in a dark brown cloth slipcase with gold gilt titling on the spine.</li></ul> From the publisher, “Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837) is not only Russia’s greatest poet, but also, to those in a position to judge, the greatest poet since Shakespeare. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, stands at the center of Russian literature in a way that nothing else in world literature dominates its tradition. By common consent, Pushkin is also the most untranslatable of writers. Dante and Shakespeare have long been admired across linguistic borders, but because Pushkin’s unique harmony of rhyme and reason defies translation, his reputation outside those who knew Russian remained pallid or merely notional for more than a century after his death. His quality did not become apparent to the English-speaking world until Nabokov’s 1964 Eugene Onegin translation and commentary, revised still more stringently in the 1975 version that this edition follows.” As Brian Boyd declares: “Nabokov would have been thrilled to see this Arion edition, which solves these problems of presentation so elegantly: the English translation with, beside it, the Cyrillic original interlineated with an indented stress-marked transliteration (prepared by Stanislav Shvabrin, the leading scholar of the finer points of Nabokov’s verse), both original and transliteration set in type small enough that their two versions of the line match the placement and numbering of the lines of the translation, so that the eye can easily skip from English to Russian. “But what difference could a mere typographic arrangement make? In this case, all the difference in the world. It allows Pushkin to leap into sharp focus; it allows Nabokov’s aims in translating the poem as he did to become instantly clear; it allows readers to see the essential modesty and solicitude that drove Nabokov’s method.” In a tour de force of typography and letterpress printing, Nabokov’s English is presented alongside the original in Cyrillic, accompanied by a transliteration. The paper is Italian mold-made Magnani, the types are Bembo for the English translation, 16 point; Modern 8A for the Cyrillic and transliteration, 12 point; and Ariston script for display in various sizes. About the Arion Press: Since its inception in 1974, the Arion Press has published 118 deluxe limited editions that are breathtaking in their scope and artistry. Combining notable literature illustrated with original artwork from prominent artists, Andrew Hoyem and his team at the Arion Press have carried on the tradition of the livre d’artiste in spectacular fashion. Michael Kimmelman of The New York Times put it best when he wrote, "The Arion Press produces some of the most beautiful limited-edition, hand-printed books in the world."

Finely bound portfolios of signed photographs by Baldridge, showcasing his signature style.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 2.</li><li>Jamie Baldridge (American).</li><li>[South Dennis, Massachusetts]: 21st Editions, 2009.</li><li>2 Volumes.</li><li>Signed Deluxe Edition of 17 copies, this being number 4.</li><li>The book is signed and numbered by Jamie Baldridge, John Wood and the publisher Steven Albahari on the limitation page, and includes a letter of provenance from Lance Speer.</li><li>12 signed original hand-printed pigment ink prints and one signed loose print housed in a folded, letterpress printed presentation folder.</li><li>Bound in patina brass covers and printed in letterpress on handmade cotton rag paper.</li><li>Housed in a custom clamshell box with the title on a leather label affixed to the box.</li><li>The portfolio of 13 signed free-standing prints is housed in a separate custom clamshell box that matches the clamshell box with the book.</li></ul> In 2009, fine press photography book publisher 21st Editions released The Everywhere Chronicles. Limited to 50 copies worldwide, each of the hand-bound collections contains 13 original pigment ink prints (11 bound and one free-standing print — The Voyager — that is suitable for framing). Each print is signed by Jamie Baldridge. The first 17 numbered editions also contain a separate portfolio of 13 signed free-standing prints that appear in the book. Each edition is numbered and signed by the artist, the editor and the publisher. These copies, 4 of 50, were presented to Lance Speer, 21st Editions Contributing Editor and Director of Marketing, upon completion of the project. The edition sold out shortly after release. From the publisher, “To say that Jamie Baldridge is an imaginative genius is to state what will be obvious to anyone who views The Everywhere Chronicles, though readers of the tale he wrote to accompany the photographs may decide he is an escapee from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Using sumptuous colors and the most bizarre, sometimes zany, often mystical imagery, Baldridge reveals a world he has miraculously imagined. He then takes us on tour through the whimsical travelogue he has written to accompany his masterful photographs. His guidebook may be a little mad, but his photographs are no collection of elaborate jests and spoofs. They are the stuff of archetypes, and they transport us to mythic places of the mind, of memory, and of histories not yet written. In a natural evolution, 21st Editions (a unique publisher known throughout the world for its mastery of classic photographic processes such as platinum prints, hand-pulled photogravure and silver gelatin photographs) has utilized color pigment ink printing for the first time with The Everywhere Chronicles. This is due to the fact that we at 21st Editions wish to stay true to the original and preferred medium of the artist, who works exclusively in pigment ink and who personally printed and signed each photograph himself. The result is our first color book, one that reflects our decade-long commitment to creating the finest photography books in existence, incorporating the widest range of original processes available.” Awards: 21st Editions was awarded the prestigious 2009 Lucie Award for Book Publisher of the Year for their publication of The Everywhere Chronicles. The worldwide photography community pays tribute to the year’s most outstanding photographic achievements at the annual Lucie Awards ceremony. The Lucies recognize men and women whose life’s work in photography merits the highest acclaim by their peers. As 2003 honoree, Douglas Kirkland said, “The movie industry has its Oscars and the photography community has its Lucies."

Signed limited-edition copy of the Arion Press' edition of Moliere's Tartuffe.<ul><li>Moliere [Jean-Baptiste Poquelin] (French).</li><li>Translated by poet laureate Richard Wilbur (American).</li><li>Illustrated by William Hamilton (American).</li><li>San Francisco: Arion Press, 2004.</li><li>120 pages.</li><li>Folio.</li><li>Numbered limitation of 300 copies, with this being an unknown number because the book remains unopened in the publisher’s original packaging.</li><li>Signed by Richard Wilbur and William Hamilton.</li><li>Bound in full cloth over boards, the fabric of a burgundy moiré satin, stamped in gold with titling on the spine and front cover, and with the original prospectus.</li></ul> From the publisher: “Molière was born and died in Paris (1622–1673). He began as an actor and by 1658 he was presenting plays at the Louvre in its rental theater. In 1664, he staged Tartuffe as a royal divertisement at Versailles, causing a scandal for it being perceived as criticism of the upper classes and anti-clerical. The king supported Molière but performances were suspended. The play was revived in 1667 under the title Panulphe, ou L'imposteur, but was banned by the clergy...Richard Wilbur's rhymed verse translation of Tartuffe is a treat to read, and his translations, especially of the plays of Molière, have brought him great acclaim. The cartoonist, humor writer and playwright William Hamilton, is well-known for his drawings in The New Yorker. His liquid line and quick capturing of character and expression provide the perfect foil for the play.” The type is 16-point Van Dijck composed in Monotype for the text with larger sizes handset for display and an ornamental type, Fontanesi, for the title, an initial letter and act numbers, and photopolymer plates were used for the illustrations. The paper is Arches, a French mold-made sheet. The names of characters are separated from the dialogue by a curving rule. The rule, running heads, folios, the decorative type and speeches repeated in larger type beneath the illustrations are printed in burgundy ink.

Finely bound illustrated deluxe signed limited edition of Wilde's Fairy Tales, signed by Merlin Holland, the author's grandson, and the illustrator Sandow Birk.<ul><li>Oscar Wilde (English).</li><li>Illustrated Sandow Birk (American).</li><li>Introduction by Merlin Holland (English).</li><li>San Francisco: Arion Press, 2018.</li><li>152 pages printed in Bookman Monotype and hand composition, ornamented with initial Phyllis capitals, by letterpress on mold-made Magnani 90gsm Raffaello.</li><li>Includes 19 drawings by Birk reproduced by polymer plates, frontispiece, “Love and Death,” and full pages images for each of the nine stories.</li><li>Deluxe signed limited edition of 25 copies, this being number 12.</li><li>Machine-sewn, bound with an olive green cloth spine and paper sides imprinted with titling and a foil stamped butterfly, and with decorative initials foil stamped in 22k gold.</li><li>Housed in a slipcase.</li></ul> From the publisher: “Oscar Wilde (1854–1990) wrote his “fairy tales” in two installments at a pivotal point in his career. The Happy Prince and Other Tales, envisioned as a collection of children’s stories, was published in 1888, while Wilde was still serving as the editor of The Lady’s World, to all appearances happily married with children. The second collection, A House of Pomegranates, dedicated to his wife, Constance, was published in 1891. The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in the same year, marking a period of intense creativity for Wilde.” Accompanied by the drawings of artist Sandow Birk, whose images deftly extract messages from the stories and capture them in the light of modern-day, the Arion Press edition of The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde is an essential piece in the puzzle of the writer’s work. Birk’s artworks capture both the contradiction and the complexity of the stories, illuminating their timeless themes through imagery that bears a startling and immediate familiarity to today’s reader. The stark lines and style might at first trick an unsuspecting viewer into believing they do hail from Victorian times, but the content is very much of the now.Wilde once explained, “My fairy tales … are an attempt to mirror modern life in a form remote from reality—to deal with modern problems in a mode that is ideal and not imitative.” He went on to add, “They are, of course, slight and fanciful, and written, not for children, but for childlike people from eighteen to eighty!” Since its inception in 1974, the Arion Press has published 118 deluxe limited editions that are breathtaking in their scope and artistry.

B. Kitaj. We had long hoped to include Philip Roth in the Arion Press publishing program, but were waiting for inspiration on how to present his work, mainly on the question of an artist to illustrate one of his novels. In this case we ran out of patience and made the offer without an artist in mind. As luck would have it, Roth’s choice drove the choice of the artist and the scheme for the illustrations. The edition is not signed as planned. Roth died on May 22, 2018, at the age of 85. The novel’s title comes from a stage direction in the first act of Shakespeare’s Hamlet when Hamlet’s father’s ghost refuses to answer questions and then disappears. His protagonist Nathan Zuckerman, elderly and debilitated by prostate surgery, has left the stage. So has Philip Roth.” Since its inception in 1974, the Arion Press has published 118 deluxe limited editions that are breathtaking in their scope and artistry.
