Venice Scene Watercolor Print by Frank Brangwyn (1920's)

By: N/A

Price: $15.00

Publisher: England, Unknown: 1920's

Seller ID: 1120

Beautiful watercolor print showing the crowd enjoying a sunny day in Venice, Italy. I purchased it from a longtime dealer who saved plates from damaged books. I had a hard time figuring out who the artist was though because he only printed the name on one print! But the style is so unique it was easy to see that the others were British artist, Frank Brangwyn's, work too. The print is tipped-in on the paper rather than being printed on it and measures in its entirety 9-1/2"x11-1/2". The image size is 6-3/4"x9". Plate is clean on both sides save one little spot on the back and ready to frame. Ve...

The little black spots you see on the front of the card are not a defect -- they're birds in flight! We have several other cards from the Ethiopian War too.

Messale Festiva Latino-Italiano (Catholic Missal 1964)

By: N/A

Price: $35.00

Publisher: S. Paolo, Alba Italy, Pia Societa: 1964

Seller ID: 2401

Binding: Hard cover

Condition: Near Fine condition

This is an unusual little Catholic missal which measures a charming 3" wide and 5" tall. I'm not sure whether the boards are celluloid, or actual wood which has been given a beveled edge and a plasticized finish. I'm leaning towards the latter, but can't prove it. The spine is a leather-like surface and outer page edges are inked in red as per design. The type is good sized and the text is in both Latin and Italian. The previous owner's name is written on the title page, but I can't decipher it, though I do know he was in Jordan, Jerusalem. The front cover of the book has a carved design and t...

Condition: Good condition

This is interesting -- a blend of music from the Italian star, Toscanini, and the sale of RCA record changers, home entertainment, radio,and Victrolas. Most of the booklet belongs to Toscanini until the back section which shows the above items to bring music to the home. The booklet measures 8" x 11" and has 21 pages. The booklet is clean and tightly bound, but the first spread of pictures show toning from a newspaper clipping which had nothing to do with the contents and a few small lower corner creases which I ironed and used small pieces of archival tape to keep the paper from snapping off...
