Born in Italy and raised in New York's Greenwich Village, he became the foremost avant-garde puppeteer of his era, and his collaborators read like a who's who of 20th century artistic giants. He worked with Eugene O'Neill as part of the celebrated Provincetown Players, created puppets for Broadway productions including Irving Berlin's As Thousands Cheer and Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning The Skin of Our Teeth, and built puppets for Leonard Bernstein's On the Town. His puppets for Igor Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex stood ten feet tall, and for the Rodgers and Hart musical Jumbo he constructed a puppet thirty-five feet in height. He directed the WPA's Federal Theatre Project marionette unit during the 1930s and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1929 to write a comprehensive volume on marionettes. His portrait is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fact that this book reached a fourth printing by 1959, more than a decade after Bufano's death in 1948, speaks to the enduring influence and reputation of his work in the puppetry world. A wonderful and genuinely rare addition for collectors of performing arts history, puppetry and theatre arts, WPA era Americana, or illustrated books on craft and design. Books on puppetry of this caliber and with this level of artistic pedigree are surprisingly hard to come by.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67738229670253,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4645\/8477\/files\/Untitled_design.png?v=1792510380"},{"product_id":"in-town-and-country-the-road-to-safety-by-buckley-white-adams-and-silvernale","title":"In Town and Country: The Road to Safety | 1938","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eIn Town and Country: The Road to Safety by Horace Mann Buckley, Margaret L.

First performed on February 25, 1830, at the Comédie-Française in Paris, its premiere became one of the most notorious theatrical events in literary history, an event known ever since as the \"Battle of Hernani.\" The premiere was characterized by whistles, fist fights, multiple interruptions of the play, and street protests, with clashes lasting several days. At the heart of the uproar was a clash between the defenders of strict classical theatrical tradition and a new generation of young Romantics rallying behind Hugo's radical departure from the rules, and the premiere marked a major milestone in the history of Romanticism and the consecration of the French Romantic literary movement. Hugo himself named the play after a small Spanish village he had stayed in as a child while traveling with his father, a Napoleonic general, on military campaign, giving the work a quietly personal origin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe composer Giuseppe Verdi used the play as the basis of his opera Ernani in 1844, and the play has been in continuous performance in various forms ever since, a testament to the enduring power of its themes of honor, love, and fate set against the backdrop of 16th century Spain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictor Hugo went on to write The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misérables, cementing his place as one of the towering figures of world literature.

During World War II she served as an ambulance driver in the streets of London, and in August 1944 her son Michael, a lieutenant in the Royal Armoured Corps, was killed in his tank during the Allied advance in Normandy, a loss that affected her deeply and cast a shadow over her later writing.

Since the mid-1880s, Riley had been the nation's most read poet, a trend that accelerated at the turn of the century, and the demand for his works was so large that the level of popularity he achieved has not since been surpassed by any poet in their lifetime. Riley received honorary degrees from Indiana University, the University of Pennsylvania, Wabash College, and Yale University, and when he died in 1916, thousands of Hoosiers lined the streets of Indianapolis to pay their respects as his hearse passed.

By 1910 Christy was earning some $50,000 a year, with numerous magazines commissioning illustrations from him, and he was among the most recognized artists of the time, providing illustrations for books and stories by authors including Jack London and H.

His 1940 masterpiece, Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States, now hangs in the United States Capitol, and he was later inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame.

Childcraft was created as an encyclopedia for young children, with simple texts and illustrations designed to make learning fun, with volumes covering subjects including literature, short stories, poetry, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, mathematics, and the sciences. W. F. Quarrie and Company had purchased World Book in 1919 and during the 1930s assembled an editorial advisory board to guide the project's development, bringing the same rigorous editorial standards to Childcraft that had made World Book a household name. The company was later purchased by Chicago magnate Marshall Field III in 1945, and the Childcraft name eventually became part of World Book Inc., one of the most recognized educational publishers in the world, with the series ultimately translated into a dozen languages and shipped to more than fifty countries globally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wonderful addition for collectors of antique educational materials, American publishing history, 1930s Americana, illustrated children's reference books, or anyone drawn to the nostalgic world of mid-century home education.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67738229997933,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4645\/8477\/files\/IMG_1316.HEIC-Edited.png?v=1792444774"},{"product_id":"an-introductory-portuguese-grammar-by-edwin-b-williams-1942-hc","title":"An Introductory Portuguese Grammar by Edwin B.

Henry Holiday (1839 to 1927) was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite circle who studied at the Royal Academy Schools and counted Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, and William Morris among his close associates. Forest Reid acknowledged of the illustrations that “Henry Holiday’s for The Hunting of the Snark in their decorative beauty carry on the true Pre-Raphaelite tradition bringing it into the world of the grotesque,” a remarkably fitting description for Carroll’s delightfully strange poem. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Easton Press fine leather binding in near mint condition makes this a particularly beautiful collectors piece, combining one of Lewis Carroll’s most beloved and unusual works with illustrations by a distinguished member of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wonderful addition for Lewis Carroll collectors, fans of Pre-Raphaelite art and illustration, Easton Press collectors, or anyone captivated by the Alice books looking to explore more of Carroll’s extraordinary imagination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67748697080173,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4645\/8477\/files\/IMG_1453.HEIC-Edited.png?v=1792514058"},{"product_id":"the-mark-of-zorro-by-johnston-mcculley-easton-press-2010","title":"The Mark of Zorro by Johnston McCulley | Easton Press 2010","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThe Mark of Zorro by Johnston McCulley, illustrated by Richard Sparks, published by Easton Press, 2010.

His groundbreaking works, including Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, helped reshape the possibilities of modern fiction. Originally published in 1916, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man follows Stephen Dedalus as he grows up in Ireland, navigating family expectations, Catholic education, religion, and his developing identity as an artist. Drawing heavily on Joyce's own experiences, the novel explores the struggle between personal freedom and the cultural and religious traditions that shape an individual's life. It is widely regarded as a landmark of 20th-century literature and an important early example of modernist fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn illustrated Easton Press edition from its celebrated 100 Greatest Books Ever Written collection, featuring artwork by Brian Keogh, a full green leather binding, elaborate gilt decoration, raised spine bands, gold-edged pages, and decorative moiré endpapers.
