Accompanied by a small drawing of a "green egg" with "Dr. Seuss" autograph in black ink with on a light green index card, 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm). [Younger & Hirsch 7; Greenaway 95] Dr. Seuss was challenged by Houghton Mifflin's Education Division director, William Ellsworth Spaulding, to create a book for young children using the 225 essential words for beginning readers, a book they would not want to put down. Seuss used 223 of the words from the list, plus 13 others. Seuss tricked kids into enjoying learning with his destructive and charismatic house guest. Inspired in part by Krazy Kat and Felix the Cat, but with a wily mind all his own, the Cat in the Hat's humor and naughtiness are engaged in the noble cause of literacy. "Parents," notes biographer Brian Jay Jones, "were more than happy to join Dr. Seuss as fellow revolutionaries. Even if parents didn't necessarily understand the pedagogy, it was easy to see the difference between the staid DICK AND JANE...

One of the stand-out items of our new collection. The 1933 French Grande Style A King Kong film poster by Roland Coudon is an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after vintage collectible. Created for the movie’s first release in France, it is one of only two poster styles produced for the Grande format for that debut. What truly sets this poster apart is its unique design: instead of depicting the more familiar Empire State Building scene, Coudon’s artwork captures the dramatic sacrifice moment on Skull Island, with Kong illuminated by torches as he is introduced to the audience. Produced as a stone lithograph, this poster is widely regarded as one of the finest images created for King Kong, skilfully conveying the intense emotions of fear and awe central to the film. Measuring approximately 46 x 62 1/2 inches, the French Grande format gives the poster a commanding visual presence that draws the eye and demands attention. Due to its extreme rarity, with very few surviving examples known to exist, this poster is an invaluable treasure for serious collectors and film historians alike. More than just a promotional item, the French Grande Style A King Kong poster...

Antique Botanical Prints Set, German Wildflowers Atlas Plates, Stuttgart 1890 This refined collection of botanical plates originates from Naturgeschichte des Pflanzenreichs by M. Fünfstück, published in Stuttgart circa 1885. Created during the late nineteenth century’s flourishing period of scientific illustration, these works combine botanical accuracy with a restrained decorative elegance that translates beautifully into contemporary interior design. The plates present a diverse survey of European wildflowers, medicinal herbs, and native field plants rendered with delicate color and precise draftsmanship. Species illustrated include nettle (*Urtica dioica*), hops (*Humulus lupulus*), plantain (*Plantago*), sorrel (*Rumex*), chickweed (*Stellaria*), buttercups (*Ranunculus*), pinks and campions (*Dianthus* and *Silene*), meadow herbs, flowering field plants, and various alpine and woodland flora. The compositions balance botanical specimens with airy spacing, allowing each plant form to stand clearly while contributing to an overall harmonious visual rhythm. The soft palette of sage greens, muted blush pinks, and warm paper tones creates a calm and organic aesthetic well suited to modern interiors. Unlike highly saturated botanical imagery, these plates function as sophisticated architectural wall elements — ideal for organic modern spaces, Scandinavian interiors, country houses, wellness environments, or hospitality settings seeking authenticity and quiet natural texture. Displayed together, the prints form a cohesive botanical narrative that introduces movement, refinement, and historical depth without visual heaviness. Produced as educational plates yet executed with notable artistic sensitivity, these works exemplify the German tradition of merging science and design. Their balanced compositions and timeless subject matter make them particularly attractive for designers creating layered, nature-inspired interiors. The prints are offered unframed, allowing collectors and designers full freedom to select framing appropriate to their interior schemes. Any framed examples shown are intended solely for visual inspiration. Condition report: Very good antique condition with general age-related toning consistent with late nineteenth-century paper. Light surface wear and occasional minor spotting visible upon close inspection. Original centerfolds as issued. Paper remains strong and stable, presenting attractively overall. Framing tips: These botanical plates benefit from generous ivory or soft cream matting to emphasize their delicate compositions and preserve visual balance. Natural oak, walnut, or subtle antique gilt frames enhance the historical character while remaining compatible with modern interiors. Hanging as a structured grid or salon-style botanical wall creates a refined, designer-led installation with strong visual cohesion.

Title: Collection of 10 Original Antique Tropical Fern Lithographs by E.J. Lowe, 1856 Description: An elegant collection of ten original hand-colored botanical lithographs depicting a remarkable diversity of tropical fern species from the celebrated botanical publications of Edward Joseph Lowe. Produced in London in 1856, these finely executed plates capture the graceful forms, intricate venation and distinctive reproductive structures that made ferns one of the greatest botanical fascinations of the Victorian era. The collection includes the following species, identified by their historical Latin names and corresponding English descriptive names: Polypodium latipes – Broad-Stalked Polypody Fern Polypodium karwinskianum – Karwinski's Polypody Fern Polypodium scolopendroides – Hart's-Tongue-Like Polypody Fern Polypodium simplex – Simple Polypody Fern Polypodium peltideum – Shield-Leaved Polypody Fern Polypodium spectabile (Pinna) – Showy Polypody Fern Polypodium terminale – Terminal Polypody Fern Polypodium palustre – Marsh Polypody Fern Polypodium concinnum – Elegant Polypody Fern Polypodium longissimum – Long-Leaved Polypody Fern Polypodium refractum – Bent or Recurved Polypody Fern The scientific names shown beneath the plates reflect the nineteenth-century botanical classification used by Edward Joseph Lowe. While many of these species have since been reassigned to other genera, the historical nomenclature remains an important part of the original publication. Several of the English names are descriptive translations, as no universally accepted common names exist today. Edward Joseph Lowe was one of the most influential British botanists of the Victorian period and a leading authority on ferns during the famous "Pteridomania" movement, when the cultivation and collection of ferns became immensely popular throughout Britain and Europe. His beautifully illustrated works successfully combined scientific accuracy with exceptional decorative quality and remain among the finest botanical publications of the nineteenth century. This collection presents an outstanding variety of fern forms, from broad pinnate fronds and finely divided foliage to deeply lobed and shield-shaped leaves. Displayed together, the ten prints form a harmonious botanical ensemble that is equally suited to a period interior, contemporary home or professional collection. Maker: Edward Joseph Lowe Place of publication: London Date: 1856 Technique: Original hand-colored lithographs Subject: Tropical ferns and botanical natural history Number of prints: 10 Condition: Good overall antique condition with age-appropriate toning, occasional foxing or small stains, and minor edge wear consistent with age and use. Some sheets retain small binding remnants or marginal irregularities from the original volume. Please study the images carefully. The prints are original antique lithographs, not reproductions. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The pieces are sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be to scale. Keywords: Edward Joseph Lowe, antique fern prints...
