![FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **Franckfurt / Leipzig: 1742–1744. 8 copper-engraved plates. 134; 102; 128, [24]; 104, [30]; 131, [1]; 108, [2]; 110, [2]; 116, [2] pages. 16.8 x 10 cm. Period full calf tooled in blind, joints cracked, edges lightly foxed; overall very good. Richter was a Bavarian lawyer, writer, critic and publisher with an enormous literary output, mostly anonymous or pseudonymous. Die redende Thiere (The Talking Animals) ran to 44 parts published serially 1741-1746. Despite a superficial resemblance to fable, the series was actually a vituperous commentary on events during the then-raging War of the Austrian Succession, sympathetic to Empress Maria Theresa and critical of Karl VII of Bavaria, whose armies had invaded Austria. One assumes the material was too inflammatory for publication within Bavaria itself, thus its anonymous publication in Hessia and Saxony.](/mcgilvery/images/items/80x160/93751.jpg "FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **Franckfurt / Leipzig: 1742–1744. 8 copper-engraved plates. 134; 102; 128, [24]; 104, [30]; 131, [1]; 108, [2]; 110, [2]; 116, [2] pages. 16.8 x 10 cm.

![FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **[Budapest?],1933. 42 brilliant caricatures on stiff white paper, rectos only, and interleaved with textured glassine protective sheets. Elegantly signed by the artist on the final blank, but the signature is hard to read and may be a pseudonym. Bound in a black cloth folder with faded green satin cord with tassels and beads. 29.5 x 21.2 cm. A few of the glassine sheets are creased, and one lacks a large corner. The subjects appear to be the staff of a financial firm, Penzintezet. Központ. The artist has captured near-photographic likenesses of the faces (all in left profile, the bodies in miniature). More importantly he has seized upon foibles and fantasies and quirks to turn a doubtless normal group of middle-class Hungarians—even a bit dull?—into a troupe of comic actors. Some names are written on the pages in a different, later hand in the spellings used here. Komár Béla likes his beer and bowling. Dr. Kéhuly Gzula is a pensive Caesar. A princess dangles male puppets before her. Her opposite is a monk holding Cupid at bay. Margit Laszlauer sits at a desk with dragons for arms and razors for the dragons' tongues. Other people are, variously, cold, late, gluttonous, stingy. One woman cuts stamps off envelopes, while another gaily glides down a slope with her table and typewriter mounted on the front of her skis. One can speculate that Jozsef Szemes, depicted as an architect or designer in the sympathetic last portrait, was honored by this tour de force—perhaps as a retirement gift. Of the artist, I have found nothing so far. He (?) gives every appearance of being professional but could be an extraordinarily talented amateur. The amusingly perceptive treatment of the subjects suggests that it either is an inside job or that the artist had a wonderful informant. This album is worthy of intense study followed by exhibition and publication.](/mcgilvery/images/items/80x160/25501.jpg "FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **[Budapest?],1933. 42 brilliant caricatures on stiff white paper, rectos only, and interleaved with textured glassine protective sheets.

![FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **Beverly Hills: Copley Galleries, December 1948. One of 150 regular copies (total edition 275 printed by Lynton R. Kistler, 125 of these with an autographed photograph by Man Ray; this copy is unnumbered). 6 illustrations. 12 + [4] pp. Wrappers. 30.5 x 23 cm. The covers are bright yellow card stock bearing the words “To be.” Large triangles are trimmed off the top and bottom to make a trapezoidal flap (like a fat, truncated pennant). Contents unbound, as issued. Inside the front cover is a light blue folder of card stock bearing only the words “continued unnoticed.” Eight printed leaves follow under the subtitle above. Four are a pale pink coated paper, and the other four are yellow. Think “Easter egg,” and that would be close but for the cover title in extra-bold, 96-point, sans-serif capitals. The last leaf bears the colophon on the recto and press notices from 1943 and 1944 on the verso. The elaborate border on that page looks far more like Bill Copley’s work than anything Man Ray ever did. All three OCLC records note only 12 pp. or 12, [2] pp., but there are 16 pp. here, all of them printed, plus the folder at the front that completes the cover title. Copies in the wild of this vulnerable publication are vanishingly scarce.
