This first edition of the poems of Nathan Lanesford Foster was printed and bound in 1841 in the print shop in Philadelphia where my great-great-great grandfather worked at the time.
For those of you who know Philly: the print shop was located in what is now the 'Old City' section of Philadelphia, near the Betsy Ross House and Independence Hall.
More modern editions of this volume are available at select booksellers:

LOCK-DOWN
In many ways it seems that LOCKDOWN has not totally passed by although we are still getting our boosters, for those that are in bad health or over 75. Currently in the GB (14-07-2022) there are over 2.7 million people with Covid, so contagion fully in check.
These following images were taken at a time when full lockdown was in place and things were very different. However this is the last of the postings.
One of the books that I read during that time. A wonderful author who died suddenly. Sorely missed, his books were so descriptive and imaginative.
First published in England 1932
First published by Penguin Books 1939

Für die Karosserie stehen zehn Farbtöne zur Wahl.

Die Entwicklung begann 2015 mit einer Konzeptstudie R5 Hommage, die in Aussehen und sichtbarer Technik an die BMW R 5 aus dem Jahr 1936 angelehnt ist. Der hier verwendete 1802 ccm Zweizylinder-Boxermotor ist der hubraumstärkste Boxer, den sie je gebaut haben. Sein maximales Drehmoment von 158 Nm liegt bereits bei 3000 min-1 an. Bei 4750 min-1 liefert der „Big Boxer“ 67 kW (91 PS).

I am obsessing over which new camera to buy but dd says no! So instead I have decided to fuse my fav 35mm lens to my fav camera in an attempt to fall in love with it again, wherever I am.
So this is home. Lots of 1st Edition copies of Frank Hardy's Power Without Glory (well 3 of 'em) and other fav books sit beside lovely old Sox.
French film director Jean Cocteau said in the opening of his classic 1946 surrealist masterpiece “La Belle et La Bête” (Beauty and the Beast): “Let me speak the four truly magic words, childhood’s ‘open sesame’: ‘once upon a time’…" And as a lover of the old classic faerie tales those four words truly are magic to me, and they never cease to make my heartbeat quicken, delight me and grab my imagination when I read them in one of the many hundreds of books of faerie tales I possess in my library.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 22nd of April is "words", and I immediately knew what words I wanted to capture: “once upon a time”. Like American film star Shelly Duvall (known for her roles in Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” and Disney’s “Popeye”), I have been collecting books of faerie tales all my life and first began collecting antique volumes pictured by the old master illustrators when I was a young teenager. As well as collecting antique and rare volumes, I am also an avid collector of modern first editions of classic faerie tales illustrated by more contemporary artists. For the theme this week, I have chosen the opening paragraph of my 1982 first edition of the Grimm Brother’s faerie tale, “Rapunzel”, illustrated by American artist Trina Schart Hyman (1939 – 2004) and retold by Barbara Rogasky. I must confess that I haven’t looked at this volume in about a decade now. When I pulled it from the shelf and opened it up, I inhaled the waft of the printed pages, still as fresh as when I first bought this from a specialist children’s bookshop that I frequented for much of my life as a child, teenager and young adult. It brought back the memory of me in 1982 sitting on what the shopkeepers christened my chair, around Christmas time, pouring over the latest illustrated books of faerie tales as I decided which ones I was going to spend my hard earned money on. Loving Trina Schart Hyman’s illustrations already, “Rapunzel” immediately went on the purchase pile. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile, as it did me!

Yesterday, I purchased a few boxes of these beautiful antique hardbacks, many of which are first editions. To my surprise one is even signed by it's author. I'll be offering more of these in different color schemes soon. :)
