James, Henry. STORIES REVIVED. In Three Volumes. , 1885.

Price: US$875.00 + shipping

Description: London: Macmillan and Co., 1885. 2 pp undated Vol III ads. Original dark blue-green cloth. First Edition, which consisted of only 500 copies. These three volumes consist of fourteen tales here "revived," that James had written some years earlier -- most from the 1870s, with some from the 1860s. Eight of them had been collected in America, either in A PASSIONATE PILGRIM (1875) or in THE AUTHOR OF BELTRAFFIO (1885, three months earlier). The other six appear here in book form for the first time: "A Day of Days," "A Landscape Painter," "Rose-Agathe," "Poor Richard," "Master Eustace" and "A Most Extraordinary Case." As James points out in his Vol I "Notice," ". these earlier stories have been in every case minutely revised and corrected -- many passages being wholly rewritten." This set is in E&L's binding variant "a" (no priority) -- with the "V" no larger than the "OL" on the spines, and with dark brown coated endpapers. Condition is only very good: there is some wear along the volumes' joints (as usual -- the spines are wider on the shelf than the text blocks); there is minor cracking of the original dark brown endpapers; and one can see faint evidence that lending library labels once adorned the front covers -- true of most copies. (One can also see that two bookplates once adorned the front endpapers.) Not as nice a set as we would like to be offering, but so priced: this is what life in the lending libraries did to books.

This set is in E&L's binding variant "a" (no priority) -- with the "V" no larger than the "OL" on the spines, and with dark brown coated endpapers. Condition is very good-plus: there is minor wear in a few places along the volumes' joints (as usual -- the spines are wider on the shelf than the text blocks); a couple of the volumes have very slight bubbling of the cloth; and if one looks really closely one can see very faint evidence that lending library labels once adorned the front covers (true of most copies). This is a collectible set with the original endpapers in clean, un-cracked condition. Supino 27.1.0; Edel & Laurence A27a; Blanck 10573; Sadleir 1290. Housed in three modern clamshell cases.

Description: [the fine Currie / Sendak copy] London: Macmillan and Co., 1885. 2 pp undated Vol III ads. Original dark blue-green cloth. First Edition, which consisted of only 500 copies. These three volumes consist of fourteen tales here "revived," that James had written some years earlier -- most from the 1870s, with some from the 1860s. Eight of them had been collected in America, either in A PASSIONATE PILGRIM (1875) or in THE AUTHOR OF BELTRAFFIO (1885, three months earlier). The other six appear here in book form for the first time: "A Day of Days," "A Landscape Painter," "Rose-Agathe," "Poor Richard," "Master Eustace" and "A Most Extraordinary Case." As James points out in his Vol I "Notice," ". these earlier stories have been in every case minutely revised and corrected -- many passages being wholly rewritten." This set is in Supino's binding "B" (E&L's binding "b"), with the "V" larger than the "OL" on the spines, and with blue mosaic-patterned endpapers (no known priority between the two bindings). These volumes are remarkably bright, and except for a trace of rubbing at some edges, they are FINE (but see the note about bookplates below). Supino 27.2.0; Edel & Laurence A27a; Blanck 10573; Sadleir 1290. Provenance: First, on the verso of the front free endpaper of all three volumes is the bookplate of Barton Wood Currie (1877-1962), the noted journalist, book collector, and author (including FISHERS OF BOOKS, his 1931 book about his own bibliomania). His book-collecting included a close relationship with Dr. Rosenbach -- for example, he bought from Rosenbach many Joseph Conrad manuscripts which Rosenbach had acquired at the John Quinn sale. (A Currie provenance always carries with it the minor negative that he applied his bookplates with a healthy amount of old mucilage glue, which seeped out around the edges and bled through the leaf.) The second provenance is that this set is from the personal library of author Maurice Sendak: he did not often sign or affix bookplates (and none is here), but included with this set is a certificate from the auction house identifying this as Lot 48 in the February 2023 sale of Sendak's library -- "sold on behalf of the Rosenbach Museum."
