[ALDINE DEVICE - ROMAN COIN]Silver denarius, with a profile portrait of the Emperor Titus on the obverse, and the dolphin-and-anchor device on the reverse. [Roman Empire: 80 A.D.] 18 mm (5/8 inch) in diameter. Irregular edges, the strike slightly off-center, the impression a bit dulled with some losses to lettering around the edges from age and handling, however, the images in the center of either side of the coin are clearly readable. According to Erasmus' Adagiorum Chiliades, Pietro Bembo gave an example of this coin to the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius, who then began using The Dolphin and Anchor symbol found on the coin's reverse as his printer's device. The Dolphin and Anchor device also symbolizes Aldus' paradoxical motto Festina lente i.e. "Make haste slowly." It would become the most famous printer's device in history, always sought-after by book collectors.Emperor Titus minted the denarius as part of a series of coins commemorating the prayers voted by the Roman Senate following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The Dolphin and Anchor symbol represented Neptune.No condition report?

TWAIN, MARK (=CLEMENS, SAMUEL LANGHORNE)Two autograph notes signed, framed together with a portrait. The first, addressed to Edward William Bok, is written on Twain's monogrammed notecard, 5 1/4 x 3 inches (7.5 x 13 cm) and is dated Hartford, November 20, 1880. It reads: "Dear Sir, You must pardon me, but I was so busy with the election, & I forgot all about this & a lot of other things. Truly Yours, S.L. Clemens, Mark Twain." The second, recipient unstated, is written on card stock, 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches (8.75 x 11.25 cm), and is dated October 5, 1897. It reads "'The proverb says, let a sleeping dog lie.' This is well - usually; but if it is a matter of large importance it is better to get a newspaper to do it for you. Truly yours, Mark Twain." The cards with minor soiling and toning, the right corner of the second creased, attractively matted and framed.The twice-signed note is to the young Edward William Bok (who would later become the noted editor of the Ladies Home Journal and the author of The Americanization of Edward Bok). He had just started an autograph collection with a letter from Garfield. The recipient of the second notecard is not known, but the quotation is from Twain's 1897 work, Following the Equator, where it appears with a slight variation as an epigraph to Chapter VIII: "The old saw says, Let a sleeping dog lie. Right. Still, when there is much at stake it is better to get a newspaper to do it. - Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar."No condition report?

FAY, CHARLES, ERNESTThe Archives of the alpinist Charles Ernest Fay (1846-1931), retained in thirteen three-ring folders, together with a group of loose materials. The folders are as follows:Folder I: Approximately 200 original photographs, variously unmounted albumen and gelatin silver prints, many annotated, and a few photographic postcards with original gelatin silver prints. Various sizes (most approximately 3 x 4 inches or the reverse but some larger, and a few smaller), the majority with annotations in pencil or ink by Charles Ernest Fay (and others). Included are mostly views of the Canadian Rockies, but there are some views from Fay's European alpine excursions interspersed. The images appear to be mostly from 1900 and before.Folder II: Early printed ephemera of the Appalachian Mountain Club, most published 1880s, Charles Fay's copies, pertaining to meetings and outings etc., many of these exceptionally fugitive; additionally maps, original correspondence, and a few photographs of later AMC outings, some of this latter material into the 1920s.Folder III: Early printed ephemera of the Appalachian Mountain Club, most published 1880s, Charles Fay's copies, pertaining to meetings and outings etc.; approximately thirty letters addressed to Fay about various matters pertaining to the AMC, Alpinism, etc.Folder IV: More early printed ephemera of the Appalachian Mountain Club, most published 1880s, Charles Fay's copies, pertaining to meetings and outings etc.; some newspapers and clippings.Folders V, VI: Two folders containing Charles Fay's correspondence to his wife (and a few other family members), 1880s-1920s, many hundreds of pages in total.Folder VII: Approximately 25 publications by Fay, many separately published offprints from magazines etc. (together with a few duplicates).Folder VIII: Approximately 20 publications (often for the Canadian Rockies) by tourist organizations, most for the Rockies, many with Fay's ownership notationsFolder IX: Typed and autograph manuscripts signed by Charles Fay, including correspondence on the Pequawket-Kearsage controversy.Folder X: Correspondence and other materials pertaining to Fay's various lectures.Folder XI: A miscellany, including a signed portrait of Edward Whymper and an inscribed geological monograph from him; various American Alpine Club matters; material relating to his knighthood in Monaco.Folder XII: More on the Monaco knighthood, miscellaneous travel receipts etc.Folder XIII: A miscellany of letters to Fay, manuscripts (some extensive, possibly in his hand on the Pequawket-Kearsage controversy), and some printed materials.Loose materials include a collection of photographs both formal and incidental of Fay; a leatherbound Tufts University commemorative prepared for him; receipts from his travels; and a small quantity of miscellaneous papers.Condition is generally attractive throughout the archive.Charles Ernest Fay graduated from Tufts College in 1868, and taught there as a professor of modern languages for sixty years thereafter. He was one of the founders of the Modern Language Association of America, but his avocation was as an alpinist and outdoorsman. In this arena, he was an enormously influential figure, an honorary member of all the leading Alpine Clubs including the English, Italian, and Canadian. He was a founder of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), serving as its president for several terms, and he was a founder and the first president of the American Alpine Club. He was an avid mountaineer in the Canadian Rockies and the Selkirks, and his writings popularized excursions to these areas. He made over a dozen first ascents of western Canadian peaks. Mount Fay in Banff National Park is named for him. The present collection contains much material relevant to the development of American alpinism, the early history of the AMC, and the history of outdoor recreation in North America.

The author, Joel Rane, worked as a reference librarian in the Literature and Fiction Department of the Central Library in Downtown Los Angeles between 2001 and 2006. "When I began my Downtown adventure, most of the older buildings in the center of the city were empty, and hundreds of people wandered the filthy streets, homeless or just one government check from that fate... The library is their refuge, four stories up, four stories down into a dark hole. This is the Downtown Los Angeles I knew." Rane's artist's book, a dark humor memoir of his time at the library, contains a series of character sketches of various eccentric library patrons, including "The Screamer, "Miss Information," and "The Devil," each accompanied by a portrait by either Raymond Pettibon or Christin Sheehan Sullivan.No condition report?
