Two original artworks from the Night procession of the hundred demons Hyakki yagyô / ????
Japan No Publisher C1860 Première édition / uvre originale. Deux jolies pièces, très proches de la bannière monumentale d'Itaya représentant la procession nocturne*, réalisée en 1860**, et qui en sont probablement des copies de détails. La bannière originale représentait un grand nombre de démons. Ces uvres montrent chacune un détail de cette nuit spectaculaire. Aquarelle et gouache originales sur washi (papier japonais) recouvert de soie, avec une bordure dorée appliquée et un encadrement en washi kozo (papier de mûrier) moucheté de soie. Sur la première peinture, deux oni (?) (démons surnaturels japonais) défilent, portant une longue bannière ou une banderole sur une hampe. Dans la deuxième image, quatre yokai ou démones sont occupées à un rituel de beauté et de toilette. Elles s'affairent à se maquiller, à tenir un miroir et à s'entraider. Le rouge à lèvres rouge, en particulier, laisse entendre qu'il s'agit de démones. Les deux images sont de style humoristique, tout comme Halloween enlève la peur de la veille de la Toussaint. *Le hyakki yagyo (????) est le défilé au cours duquel une centaine de démons, ou yokai, défilent dans les rues à certaines périodes de l'année. Lorsque le défilé passait, ceux qui étaient assez imprudents pour jeter un il par la fenêtre risquaient d'être tués ou enlevés. Chaque peinture est un panneau de soie peint de 16 cm x 17 cm sur un support de 22 cm x 27 cm. ** Le panneau original de 6 mètres de long est actuellement exposé à l'« Art Gallery of New South Wales ». Un autre détail du panneau, dans un style et avec une bordure presque identiques, est conservé au Centre Pompidou, à Paris. Référence : AM 2023-361.
First edition / original artwork. Two lovely pieces, very similar to, and likely copies of details from Itaya's monumental banner of the night procession*, which was created in 1860**. The original banner showed a large number of the demons. These pieces each show one detail from this spectacular night. Original water colour and gouache on silk covered washi (Japanese card) with an applied gilt border and the silk speckled kozo washi (mulberry paper) surround. In the first painting, two oni (?) (Japanese supernatural demons) are in the parade, with a long banner or streamer on a pole. In the second image, four female yokai or demons are engaged in a cosmetic / grooming ritual. They are busy applying makeup, holding a mirror, and attending to one another. The red lipstick in particular implies that these are demons. Both images are humorous in style, much as Halloween takes the fear out of All Hallow's Eve. *The hyakki yagyo (????) is the parade in which one hundred demons, or yokai, march through the streets at certain times of the year. As the parade passed, those foolish enough to peer out of their windows risked being killed or abducted. Each painting has a silk painted panel of 16cm x 17cm on a backing of 22cm x 27cm. ** The original 6 metre long panel is currently hanging in the "Art Gallery of New South Wales." Another detail from the panel, in an almost identical style and border, is held at the Pompidou Centre, Paris. Holding ref. AM 2023-361.
Atten opbyggelige Taler af S. Kierkegaard. - [EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING, WITH THE ORIGINAL TITLE-LABEL]
Kjøbenhavn, Philipsen, 1843-45. 8vo. (4), 52 + 62 (+ 1 blank leaf) + 84 + 59 (including the blank leaf between the title-page and the preface!) + 70 (+ 1 blank leaf) + 111 pp. Completely uncut in the original brownish grey boards with original printed title-label to spine (fully intact). Boards a bit brownspotted and a larger damp stain to top of front board. A couple of smaller stains (lacquer or wax) to spine. A few horizontal creases to spine with paper almost invisibly glued back on to hold tight. Occasional brownspotting, mostly to the first and last leaves. But overall splendidly preserved.
A truly magnificent copy of the first edition of this very scarce Kierkegaard-title, in completely original condition with all of the original printed title-label preserved, and fully complete with the joint title-page, contents, all the half-titles, dedications, blanks, etc. This Kierkegaard-title is rare in itself, with much less than 278 copies printed in all, but it is utterly amazing to find this exceedingly rare book in original state like here. Only very few copies are left in the original binding, which we have only seen once before. The spines of the original Kierkegaard cardboard bindings are always just thin paper directly glued on the block, making them extremely fragile. If one finds these original bindings, the spines are almost always more or less disintegrated. The present copy is a rare exception that furthermore has the original title-label, which is of the utmost scarcity. To our knowledge, only one other copy in the original binding has been located. Apart from the other copy we have seen of this work in the original binding, the present copy is also the only original Kierkegaard-binding we have seen that is not in the usual blue “hollanderet” cardboard binding, but plain brown. No other such copy has been registered for sale, and no other such copy, to our knowledge, is registered in any institution. Furthermore, this seems to be the only copy to have surfaced so far, which has preserved the original printed title-label in its entirety. As far as we know, it has been recorded no-where, due to its extreme scarcity. Kierkegaard’s Upbuilding (or Edifying) Discourses were published over the course of two years, in 1843 and 1844. In all, 18 Upbuilding Discourses were published, divided over six publications, namely: Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 Three Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 Four Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1844 Three Upbuilding Discourses from 1844 Four Upbuilding Discourses from 1844 Each of these publications accompanied one of the main pseudonymous works, beginning with Either-Or in 1843. As opposed to his major philosophical works, the religious upbuilding discourses actually bear the name of the author on the title-page. Of course, this was by no means incidental. While the pseudonymous works could raise the question of the religiousness of the author, the parallelly written religious discourses stress the fact that we are dealing with an author, who was religious from the very beginning – an essential fact that Kierkegaard wished to stress for those interested in his authorship. In his journals, Kierkegaard clearly states that the religious discourses are as significant in his oeuvre as a whole as are the larger pseudonymous works, “I began with “Either-Or” and two upbuilding discourses...” he says, and explains that he intended the upbuilding, the religious, to advance, and that he wanted to show “that the writer was not an aesthetic author who in the course of time grew older and for that reason became religious”. (Journals, IX A 227). He was religious all along, also during all of the major philosophical publications that were not written in his name. The fact that every major pseudonymous work – up until Concluding Unscientific Postscript appeared and revealed the identity of the real author – was accompanied by one of these small Upbuilding Discourses, bears testament to the pivotal role they play in Kierkegaard’s philosophical development. Furthermore, while Kierkegaard could not present anyone with copies of his pseudonymous works (as explained above), he could indeed give away presentation-copies of his accompanying Upbuilding Discourses, which he then did. The Upbuilding Discourses are particularly interesting in several regards, one being that it is in the course of the printing of these that Kierkegaard changes his publisher. Ever since Kierkegaard had chosen to publish his first book himself, he had had his books on commission with the leading Copenhagen publisher Reitzel (the sole exception being his thesis, the Irony). That was also the case with Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843. But for some reason, the following five publications of Upbuilding Discourses did not appear with Reitzel, but with P.G. Philipsen instead. We do not know the exact reason for this change in publishers, as the commission was exactly the same for the two. Whereas Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 had sold relatively well, the Three and Four Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 did not sell well. A mere 102 and 104 copies respectively out of a commission issue of 300 were sold. In an attempt at making money on these discourses in spite of the poor sales numbers, Philipsen offers to buy the unsold copies of Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843, buys a sales issue of 300 copies of the Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1844, and makes the same agreement with Kierkegaard for the following two Discourse-publications. Sales numbers are still poor, however, and in the spring of 1845, only ca 100 copies of each of the 1844 Discourse publications have been sold. The printing issue of each was about 500, and Philipsen’s sales issue 300 thus, both Philipsen and Kierkegaard had large numbers of each Discourse-publication left, and in May 1845, they make a new deal. Philipsen buys the remainder issues of all six Discourse-publications, including the 278 copies of Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 from Reitzel. Philipsen has a joint title-page printed, along with a contents-leaf, and now issues the seminal Kierkegaard-publication that is no. 85 in the bibliography (Himmelstrup), namely Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses – all six publications, constituting all eighteen Upbuilding Discourses collected in one book. Seeing that there were 278 copies left of the Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843, a maximum of 278 copies of Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses can have been made, making it one of the scarcest Kierkegaard-books. The actual number is certainly lower than 278, though, probably quite a bit lower, seeing that Philipsen continued to sell the separate publications, all copies of which he then evidently did not include in the Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses. The individual pamphlets, of course, are even scarcer, with a maximum of 232 copies of Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 and somewhere between 100 and 150 copies of the others. We know from the Erindringsbog fra Bianco Luno 1844 that Kierkegaard had 506 copies of Four Upbuilding Discourses 1844 printed, six of them on fine paper for presentation. Seeing that we have already established the clear thread of identity throughout all six publications, we must assume that the other pamphlets were printed in the same numbers. And we have the record of the remainder issues that Philipsen buys in 1845, which lets us conclude of the Upbuilding Discourses, that, by that time, 222 copies of Two 1843 139 copies of Three 1843 130 copies of Four 1843 120 copies of Two 1844 92 copies of Three 1844 96 copies of Four 1844 were sold out of the total number of original issues. In other words, these are extremely scarce. Not least in the original wrappers or bindings. The scarcest Kierkegaard-title that exists, however, will be found in the continuation of the printing history of the Upbuilding Discourses. It is the mythically rare title of Sixteen Upbuilding Discourses, which Philipsen issued in 1852, when the Two Upbuilding Discourses had been sold out and it was no longer possible to collect Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses. Thus, Philipsen had yet another title-page printed, this time with Sixteen Upbuilding Discourses as the title and the year 1843-45 on it, along with a new index-leaf he issued this, the scarcest of all Kierkegaard-titles, in March 1852. “It is not known how large the issue was, but it cannot have been more than 83, seeing that that was what was left of Three Upbuilding Discourses from 1843.” (Tekstspejle p. 54, translated from Danish). The idea of the Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses (let alone the Sixteen) was not Kierkegaard’s. He had agreed to the Eighteen, but it was not his intended project with the Upbuilding Discourses. Therefore, he wished for the book not to be reviewed, and he naturally did not give away any copies of the Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses, and of course not the Sixteen either, only the individual pamphlets. In all, seven presentation-copies of the different Upbuilding Discourses are registered, all being for either Heiberg or Nielsen. Curiously, neither Eighteen nor Sixteen Upbuilding Discourses were to be found in Kierkegaard’s book collection after his death. All the individual pamphlets were, however, along with a copy of the first nine Upbuilding Discourses – i.e. the three publications from 1843 – bound together. For more on the conundrum of the actual number of copies of the Upbuilding Discourses, see the Preface by Flemming Chr. Nielsen in Girsel’s Kierkegaard-catalogue, p. 19. Himmelstrup 85
Les confidences d'un Baronnet (Lady Buttock) Traduction et adaptation du manuscrit original intitulé Flogger Papers.
Paris Collection des Orties Blanches 1929 Première édition. Un roman érotique illustré. Avec douze jolies illustrations gravées de Jim Black* (complètes). Couvertures souples originales de couleur crème avec couverture en glassine. Le papier cristal est un peu marqué et entaillé, mais il peut être facilement remplacé. Les couvertures souples sont propres. Un peu d'usure à la tête et à la queue de la colonne vertébrale. L'intérieur est propre. Le livre a été lu, et le premier rassemblement est un peu lâche mais tient encore en place. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'un exemplaire correct. Les planches sont propres. La plupart des informations bibliographiques données sont fictives. Malgré la page de titre, il n'existe aucune trace d'un roman érotique anglais, Flogger Papers ; le titre mentionné semble être un roman de flagellation français original, mettant en scène des dames et des messieurs sévères munis de fouets et des dames soumises qui les reçoivent. Il n'y a pas non plus de signe d'un second volume (la dernière page indique "Fin d'un premier volume"). * "Jim Black" est l'un des nombreux pseudonymes utilisés par Luc Lafner (1899-1939), un Belge qui a étudié à l'Académie des Beaux-Arts de Liège, s'est installé à Paris en 1923 et a illustré trente et un livres (la plupart des romans érotiques) avant sa mort prématurée à l'âge de 40 ans. 310 pages. 23cm x 14cm. Il n'y a aucune trace de ce livre dans WorldCat / OCLC.
First edition. An illustrated erotic novel. With twelve attractive engraved illustrations by Jim Black* (complete). Original cream soft covers with glassine cover. The glassine is a little marked and nicked, but could be easily replaced. The soft covers beneath are clean. A touch of wear to the head and tail of the spine. Internally clean throughout. The book has been read, and the first gather is a little loose but still holding in place. Overall though a decent copy. The plates are clean. Much of the bibliographical information given is fictitious. Despite the title page, there is no record of an English erotic novel, Flogger Papers; the sub-title appears to be an original French flagellation novel of stern ladies and gents with whips and submissive ladies on the receiving end. There is also no sign of a second volume (on the final page it states "Fin du un premier volume." * "Jim Black" is one of handful of pseudonyms used by Luc Lafner (1899-1939), a Belgian who studied at the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Liège, moved to Paris in 1923, and illustrated thirty-one books (the majority erotic novels) before his untimely death at age 40. 310 pages. 23cm x 14cm. There is no record of this book in WorldCat / OCLC. .

A magnificent collection of the first printings of all eighteen upbuilding discourses in the six separate publications, as they originally appeared, all of them uncut and all but one in the incredibly scarce original wrappers, the sixth being on special vellum-paper. Kierkegaard's Upbuilding (or Edifying) Discourses were published over the course of two years, in 1843 and 1844. In all, 18 Upbuilding Discourses were published, divided over six publications, namely: Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843, Three Upbuilding Discourses from 1843, Four Upbuilding Discourses from 1843, Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1844, Three Upbuilding Discourses from 1844, Four Upbuilding Discourses from 1844. Each of these publications accompanied one of the main pseudonymous works, beginning with Either-Or in 1843. As opposed to his major philosophical works, the religious upbuilding discourses actually bear the name of the author on the title-page. Of course, this was by no means incidental. While the pseudonymous works could raise the question of the religiousness of the author, the parallelly written religious discourses stress the fact that we are dealing with an author, who was religious from the very beginning – an essential fact that Kierkegaard wished to stress for those interested in his authorship. In his journals, Kierkegaard clearly states that the religious discourses are as significant in his oeuvre as a whole as are the larger pseudonymous works, “I began with “Either-Or” and two upbuilding discourses...” he says, and explains that he intended the upbuilding, the religious, to advance, and that he wanted to show “that the writer was not an aesthetic author who in the course of time grew older and for that reason became religious”. (Journals, IX A 227). He was religious all along, also during all of the major philosophical publications that were not written in his name. The fact that every major pseudonymous work – up until Concluding Unscientific Postscript appeared and revealed the identity of the real author – was accompanied by one of these small Upbuilding Discourses, bears testament to the pivotal role they play in Kierkegaard’s philosophical development. The separately published Upbuilding Discourses appeared in original wrappers, some of them blank, some of them printed, repeating the printing from the title-page within a printed frame. In May 1845, the publisher Philipsen buys the remainder issues of all six Discourse-publications, has a joint title-page printed along with a contents-leaf and now issues all six Discourse-publications together under the title Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses. Kierkegaard had agreed to the idea of the collected Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses, but it was not his intended project with them. Therefore, he wished for the book not to be reviewed, and he naturally did not give away any copies of the Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses, only the individual publications. In all, seven presentation-copies of the different Upbuilding Discourses are registered, all being for either Heiberg or Nielsen. Himmelstrup 45, 57, 58, 60, 61, 73.
