ZEHN KLEINE MERCKERLEIN [TEN LITTLE NUISANCES]. 5 x 6. Pink printed wrap folder with red and green woodcuts containing 9 green and red engraved plates, listed as nr. 5. Because this was a clandestine concentration camp publication, there is no publisher information printed in the book, but here is what is known. When Germany invaded Holland, the Nazis controlled all printing even to the extent of registering owners of various typefaces. Underground printing continued with books issued in very small numbers. One of most well known of the underground printers was A. A. Balkema, a bookseller from Amsterdam. This counting book, a parody of the 10 Little Niggers, is known to have been printed in an edition of forty copies from text smuggled out of the Orianienburg concentration camp. In this book, the 10 Little Nuisances (Jews) will die after various events; they play Mendelsshon on the piano (he was Jewish); they will die after seeing Robert Ley (a notorious Nazi and an alcoholic symbolized here by a glass). The final lone survivor will not die. By listening to the rhyme smuggled out from the camp one lone nuisance will be turned into ten again. (the reason that there are 9 leaves instead of 10 is that 2 people are removed at once in number 3). The rear cover has the name of the engraver: The eleventh little nuisance / Made this joyful poetry / He issued 40 copies / and his name is HAAS - a red hare is printed under the verse (Haas is German for Hare). Because the style and form of the booklet bear so much resemblance to other work of the Dutch printer Nicolaas Werkman, it has been suggested that Haas was indeed Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman, a noted Dutch printer, typographer, artist, and that the name used here as Haas was taken from letters in Werkman s full name: H endrik nicolaas werkman. Werkman was arrested in April 1945 and excuted on the morning of April 10th. More than half of his life s work was seized and destroyed by the Nazis. (See Alston Purvis: Dutch Graphic Design ).

Offered here is an original watercolor by award winning children s book artist Joyce used in his charming fantasy George Shrinks (published by Harper Collins). Done on artist board measuring 15 wide x 10, with the actual image measuring 9 3/4 x 6 3/4, signed. The image appears in the middle of the book with the text and play quietly. Little George is sitting on his baby brother s hat, scaring both the cat and the mouse. Done with Joyce s meticulous attention to detail and really simply wonderful. George Shrinks was later animated for a PBS Saturday morning show. In an online interview from the publisher s home page, Joyce offers this insight when asked where the idea for George came from: Ever since I was a little kid, I have loved stories about people who were the wrong size. King Kong was too big for everything, and Stuart Little was way too small. One day I found some of my old toys in a box. Mixed up with all the dinosaurs and army men was a little airplane that had a tiny pilot, and that got me thinking. What if a boy named George shrank one day while his parents were away? What would he do? Would it be fun? Would it be scary? What would he eat? So that s what I made George Shrinks about -- how neat it would be if, just for one day, you were the same size as your toys. And of course I had George fly in that toy airplane. $ STUNNING VIENNESE SECESSION ILLUSTRATIONS 318. JUGENDSTIL. DER KLEINE KONIG [told by] Fritz von Ostini. Munchen: Georg W.

47 Helen & Marc Younger RARE MINIATURE BOOK HOUSE WITH BOOK 353. MILLER,OLIVE BEAUPRE. MY BOOKHOUSE - MINIATURE HOUSE WITH BOOK. Offered here is a rare miniature version of the wooden Book House that was offered to owners of the 9 volume Book House set in the 1920 s. The Book House for children was the brainchild of Olive Beaupre Miller who began her venture in 1920 by selling subscriptions to a six volume set, sold door to door by the Bookhouse Ladies one volume at a time. By the end of 1921, the 6th volume was completed and the set was offered in a cardboard house. The 3 other volumes of My Travelship were added in 1926 and a red and grey wooden book house was offered as an incentive to complete the set. The utilization of women in all phases of its business activity was one of the unique aspects of the Book House For Children. Not only was there an all woman sales force but the majority of the employees were women (Taylor: Olive Beaupre Miller p.30). The miniature house offered here is not mentioned in the bibliography. It is an all metal version of the wooden house, measuring 3 1/4 wide x 5 high and 2 1/2 deep. The bottom has the Bookhouse information stamped in black. Included is a miniature book measuring 2 1/8 x 2 1/2 entitled The Little Brown Duck Shingebiss, a Chippewa Indian tale from Volume 1 of the Book House. It is bound in flexible leatherette. The last page notes that this is the second Tiny Book. (We are offering separately another miniature book - the Little Engine That Could). Both the book and the house are in fine condition.
