Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Batsford Book of Romantic Poetry Edited by Samuel Carr London: B.T. Batsford Ltd., 1982. First edition. Hardcover, original brick-red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. Dust jacket present. 124 pages (including preliminaries and indexes), with 4 colour plates and numerous black-and-white illustrations throughout. Illustrated endpapers. 8vo (approximately 23 × 14 cm / 9 × 5½ inches). ISBN 0 7134 3903 3 / 9780713439038. Includes indexes of poets and artists. This handsomely produced Batsford anthology brings together poems of the Romantic period with the paintings and drawings that so often shared the same subjects and sensibility. The double aim, set out in the introduction, is both to give pleasure through the juxtaposition of memorable (and sometimes unfamiliar) verse and pictures, and to show how closely the poets and painters of the age responded to the same themes: night and nightmare, storm-lashed coasts, ruined abbeys, moonlight, the Lakes, the Alps, and the Italian landscape. Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey appears alongside views by Turner, Girtin and Crome; Shelley's The Cloud is paired with Constable; Byron and de Loutherbourg share stormy coastal scenes; Erasmus Darwin and Henry Fuseli are both preoccupied by the night-mare; and the Lakes, Alps and Italy recur throughout. The colour plates include works after William Blake (Thus wept the Angel voice… from America), Francis Towne (The Source of the Arveiron), John Constable (Stonehenge), and J.M.W. Turner (The Devil's Bridge, St Gothard — a detail of which also forms the striking jacket illustration, supplied by Thomas Agnew & Sons). Black-and-white reproductions throughout feature further works by Joseph Wright of Derby, James Ward, Henry Fuseli, John Crome, John Constable, George Barret Jnr, Thomas Girtin, J.C. Buckler, Edward Burney, John Martin, Samuel Palmer, and others. Front and back endpapers reproduce watercolours and paintings by J.S. Cotman and P.J. de Loutherbourg respectively. About the editor Samuel Carr (1913-) was a successful and prolific British editor of illustrated poetry anthologies, almost all published by Batsford. His other titles include The Poetry of Cats (1974), Birds, Beasts and Fishes, The Poetry of Childhood, The Poetry of Birds, The Poetry of Horses, The Poetry of Railways, Hymns as Poetry (with a preface by John Betjeman), The Batsford Book of Country Verse, and later volumes such as Ode to the Countryside and Ode to Flowers. He specialised in carefully chosen thematic collections that paired verse with fine reproductions of related art, producing attractive, accessible books that remain popular with collectors of both poetry and illustrated volumes. Condition (based on the copy shown) Book: Very Good. Clean, bright cloth boards with only light shelf-wear; tight binding; pages clean and unmarked, with the illustrations crisp. No significant foxing or inscriptions noted. Dust jacket: Very Good. The Turner jacket design is intact and attractive, with only minor edge-wear and light shelf-rubbing; protected or unclipped as applicable. The volume presents very well and is a strong, attractive copy of this first edition. A pleasing example of Batsford's characteristic illustrated poetry anthologies, offering both literary and visual enjoyment of the Romantic period. George Barret Jnr., J. Barnett, William Blake, J.C.

4to. 86 silver print photographs, sized 6.25 x 8.25 in., nearly all w/ photographer's imprint w/in negative at lower fore-edge, as well as caption, negative number, and AEC, some w/ occasional pencil annotations on verso, all preserved in mylar sleeves (occasional creasing at corners, a couple w/ slight loss at corners in the small blank margin). Recent 3-ring clamshell binder, an excellent set of photos, with all retaining bright strong contrast. This outstanding photo archive provides not only some of the earliest photographs of Anchorage, Alaska Territory, but also this immense railroad project first authorized by the US Congress in 1912. The few existing privately-run railroads operating in Alaska at the time, including the Alaska Northern Railway, and the Tanana Valley Railroad primarily fulfilled the needs of the mining companies carrying resources to sea ports, and very little allowance was made for passenger traffic, and it was impossible to travel by rail from Ship's Creek at the Cook Inlet north to Fairbanks. Through an April, 1915 executive order, President Wilson directed that the newly created Alaska Engineering Commission construct a railroad along the surveyed "Western Route" from Seward, or Portage Bay, along the Turnagain & Knik Arms of Cook Inlet, North through the Suitna Valley, and then follow the Nenana River until it joined the Tanana, with the intent it would connect eventually to Fairbanks. Employing discarded surplus railroad equipment from the Panama Canal Railroad project, and under the direction of engineer Mears, who had worked on both the Panama Canal and Great Northern Railroads, the tiny tent city of Ship's Creek swelled to 5500 people within two years and was officially labeled by the Post Office as "Anchorage." Photos included here reveal the barren original landscape of Ship's Creek with one of the photos showing the steam launches "Alaska" & "Seagull" who carried cargo and passengers from ships offshore. In addition, there are views of the construction of the immense AEC Railway machine shop by Sept., 1916, as well as the newly completed first Railroad Depot in Anchorage, with the progression of buildings erected beyond. These early views of the fast developing project portray the Commissary, Hospital, Bunkhouses, finished machine shop, interiors of the powder house for blasting, along with a view of the AEC's photo studio, and the completed electrical power house. Early street views of the nascent city are quite scarce, and one of particular interest shows Fourth Ave. looking East, with newly built stores and homes, built along both sides of the roadway stretching into the distance. Brutal working conditions continually interfered with the pace of the project, with one of the images showing the AEC's "Electric Thawing Machine," on a sled, whie others depict piles of snow, work camps in snow, and even sternwheeler and docks trapped in an ice flow in March, 1917. A couple of the photographs feature the sternwheeler SS Omineca underway, which had been originally constructed in 1909 for the Grand Trunk Railway, running the Skeena River from 1909-1912, and powered by the original SS Caledonia's engines. By the end of 1916, 60 miles of track had been laid, 100 miles were graded, and right-of-way cleared for 230 miles, with photos in this archive showing AEC Construction camps at various mile markers, blasting activity, and track laying. At the same time they rehabilitated the bankrupt Alaska Northern Railroad tracks, and by Oct. 24, 1917 the first AEC Railway train reached the Chickaloon coal mines 74 miles North of Anchorage. The railroad would actually not be finished until 1923 when the Tanana River Bridge was completed, and last 57 miles of track to Fairbank converted to standard gauge. Photos also show the Anchorage Baseball Field, which featured games for the Cook Inlet Baseball League, composed at the time of Matanuska, Anchorage, and Turnagain Arm teams. There's also a very fine series of the Decoration Day parade held May 30, 1917 depicting many of the main streets and businesses in the background. In addition, several photographs show the ocean docks completed which allowed ships to directly dock at Anchorage, rather than lightering passengers and cargo to shore prior to 1917. Hunt (1866-1917) originally worked as a California optician, before trekking to Valdez, Alaska as a gold rush prospector, but quickly established himself as a photographer, opening his studio, and documenting Valdez, and development of the region. He would bring his wife and children to Alaska by 1907. He later secured work as one of the AEC's official photographers shooting some of the early survey work by 1914, and through the project until suffering a heart attack Oct. 14, 1917 in Seward, AK. Hunt's son, A.O. Hunt also worked as an assistant photographer for the AEC. A few of these images appear as negatives in the Alaska State Library Historical Collections, with a couple shown in their Digital Archives, and some appear in the Alaska Engineering Commission archive at the U of W, Collect. No. PH0495, but the bulk of that collection features photographs by James McPherson, H.G. Kaiser, and A.J. Johnson who were the other official photographers on the project; See: Phinney S. Hunt Photographs of Alaska, 1902-1909, Photographs in and around Valdez and Sitka, Alaska, University of Washington, Special Collections; Phinney S.
