The covers are soiled with some foxing, particularly near the edges, and there is a small hole at the bottom of the front cover. A three inch strip has been clipped away from the bottom edge of the blank rear cover. 22 leaves, illustrated with full-page portraits of the 13 artists participating in this benefit concert: Gaspar Cassado, Kirsten Flagstad, Jascha Heifetz, Josef Hofmann, Jose Iturbi, Lotte Lehmann, Lauritz Melchior, Lily Pons, Elisabeth Rethberg, Albert Spalding, Gladys Swarthout, Lawrence Tibbett, and Efrem Zimbalist. Several pictorial ads also decorate the program. There are 3 tiny holes to the lower right corner of the last leaf and a tiny hole to the corner of the preceding leaf. There is a tiny tear to the bottom front corner of Lawrence Tibbett's portrait. Remnants of light blue paper, possibly from a ticket, adhere to the inner edge of one of the "Programme" pages. Good.

A rare souvenir program. The concert included performances of works by Beethoven, Sarasate, Brahms, Paganini, Purcell, Chopin, Verdi, Bach, Wagner, Strauss, Rossini, Leo Blech, etc.

A labor union, the American Guild of Musical Artists was founded in 1936, the year preceding this program, to represent opera singers who were being forced into unfair contracts. The guild soon expanded to include ballet dancers and other dancers, dance companies, opera directors and backstage employees, as well as figure skaters. At the time of the Guild's formation Lawrence Tibbett was President and Jascha Heifetz 1st Vice-President. In 1937 Howard Chandler Christy created the AGMA's logo, represented on the cover of this souvenir program, which he gifted to the guild. Good .

OTTO VAN PASSAU.

Boeck des gulden throene of der xxiiij ouden. Utrecht, [printer with monogram "tC"], [30 March] 1480. Folio. With 24 illustrations in text (ca. 9 x 6.2 cm), printed from 1 complete woodcut (plus 4 repeats) and 15 components assembled in different combinations, all rubricated and with architectural frames. The book has no printed initials, but spaces for manuscript initials, which have been filled with letters in the uncial style. Each of the 24 chapters begins with a large manuscript initial (the first 5-line with a penwork face in profile and further 4-line), 11 with two or more colours (mostly with penwork decoration extending into the margin), and others with interior white decoration. A smaller (2-line) initial with penwork extending into the margin opens the book's first page and there are numerous further 1-line and 2-line initials. Set in a textura type with capitals rubricated throughout. Woodcut printer's device at the end: a date palm tree with monogram "tC" (6.5 x 5.5 cm), the "t" perhaps also (or instead) representing a cross. Contemporary (Utrecht?) blind-tooled calf over wooden boards, each board in a panel design with the central part ruled in a lozenge pattern with about 200 impressions of 4 small separate stamps; re-backed, with modern morocco title label.

[4], 197 ll.First Dutch edition of Otto van Passau's devotional work (dated 20 days after the original German edition), the first Dutch book extensively illustrated with woodcuts. The Gouda Dialogus Creaturarum was published a month or two later, in June 1480. Each of the 24 chapters opens with a woodcut illustration, showing a pious woman (the loving soul) taking advice from a king (the 24 elders of the Apocalypse). In each chapter one of 24 biblical wise men (the elders of the Apocalypse) teaches the soul how to live as a good Christian. Our copy is richly and beautifully adorned with decorated initials supplied by hand and is rubricated throughout. The work was immensely popular and there are many manuscripts and early editions in both German and Dutch. Our first edition of the Dutch translation is of the utmost importance for the history of the text: serving as the source for all subsequent Dutch editions (as well as manuscripts). Some library stamps at foot of first leaf. In very good condition, with some tears and small holes in leaves repaired, first and last leaves thumbed; final blank lacking. Re-backed, and with the leather restored where the fastenings were formerly attached. Beautiful large-margined copy from the Broxbourne Library (bookplate at the end).l BMC IX, p. 14; Campbell 1342; Goff O-124; Hain 12131; HPT I, p. 47; IDL 3462; ILC 1674; Oates 3331; Polain (B) 2940; Proctor 8861; Schmidt, Die vierundzwanzig Alten Ottos von Passau (Leipzig 1938); 500ste verjaring boekdrukkunst in de Nederlanden (Exh.
