About the Item

Art Pottery of America by Lucile Henske. Exton: Schiffer Publishing Limited, 1982. First edition hardcover with dust jacket. 368 pp. A study of American art pottery produced from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is arranged alphabetically by the potteries all with important historical data, photographs of each pottery's representative forms, and a complete series of the identifying marks. Prior to 1870 most of the art pottery was imported from Europe and the Orient. Art pottery as a popular form began in America in 1876 with the World's Fair in Philadelphia. Artisans who were already experimenting with native clays attended the fair were inspired by the displays shown by the French and Japanese. NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.

  • Ulysses by James Joyce, First Authorized American Edition, 1934
    By James Joyce
    Located in Colorado Springs, CO
    Joyce, James. Ulysses. New York: Random House, 1934. First Authorized American Edition. Octavo. In publisher’s original red and black stamped cream cloth boards, original first issue printed dust jacket, and a custom folding slipcase. Presented is a first authorized American edition of Ulysses, a modernist novel by James Joyce. The book was published in New York by Random House, in 1934. It is presented in its original red and black stamped cream cloth boards, original first issue printed dust jacket, and a custom folding slipcase. James Joyce originally conceived of Ulysses as a short story to be included in Dubliners, but decided to publish it as a long novel instead. Ulysses takes place on a single day, June 16, 1904, in Dublin, and follows three main characters: Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly Bloom. Divided into 18 episodes, Joyce drastically shifts narrative style with each new episode, completely abandoning the previously accepted notions of plot, setting, and characters. It is considered by many to be the paramount in Modernist literature. Ulysses has a very interesting publishing history, with at least 18 editions and numerous variations of each edition. It was first serialized in the American journal The Little Review...
