Description: I’m breaking up the lot. The loose plates and prints are in separate lots. If someone wants everything I’ll deduct sales from the lot price. My late husband was PalaceofParrish for years making people custom gesso frames for original Parrish prints and bookplates. Hundreds of people have his works of art adorning their homes. He passed away in 2016 and I’ve finally decided to part with his collection of items he hadn’t gotten to as well as those he finished for me. He has a grand daughter he never got to meet and this will start an education fund for her. I helped him in many aspects of this, so I know what we paid for things and a bit about most of them. I will try to answer questions. If I can’t find one buyer I’ll start breaking this up, but I don’t want to sell this piece by piece. That said, if there is a piece you’ve been pining for that I have, please let me know. If we can agree on a price I’ll pull it, sell it separately and adjust the lot. The buyer of this as one lot will be responsible for shipping and insurance. Using something like uship might be best since this alllll fits in one large tub, but will likely take 2 with packing materials. A pick up in person is always welcomed. Here is what’s in here. All books are first edition and contain all of their Parrish bookplates 2- Golden Treasury 1911 3- Scribner’s volume 30 (XXX) July-December 1901 which houses the illustrations for Phoebus on Halzapheron as well as the Cardinal TWO SOLD 4- Arabian nights 1909 3- Poems of Childhood 1904 3- A Wonderbook and Tanglewood Tales 1910 1- Hardback Knave of Hearts 1925. Cover is in rough shape and the pages are unbound, but all there and in great condition. Full Life Magazine “Her Window” cover August 24, 1922 Large Century POSTER “midsummer Holiday Number. August”. It’s in pretty rough shape, but it’s large and very RARE. It looks like it was rolled and smooshed at one point. Has been stored flat and pressed for the decade we owned it. ALL FRAMES WERE ANTIQUE FRAMES CUSTOM ADORNED AND PAINTED BY MY TALENTED LATE HUSBAND WILLIAM BRIDDELL Framed the ORIGINAL Century Cover of the above poster. “Midsummer Fiction Number. August. 1917” Framed Large Ladies Home Journal Cover (man and woman on steps which I was think was part of the Florentine Fete series) This frame is a masterpiece. Framed magazine illustration of a farmer walking in the snow with his cow. I never knew what this was called. MP in the corner. This one is simple, but lovely. BOTH SOLD -TWO Framed Florentine Fete sections from the Ladies Home Journal series. These frames are works of art as much as the art itself. Maybe more, but I’m biased! Framed plate from the KOH Checking the Tarts? Framed Golden Treasury opening plate Framed (and faded) original print from Arabian Nights. I can’t remember the name. Framed Original Garden of Allah with some frame damage Then the loose pieces…… (in other lots now) Spirit of the Night Edison Mazda 1919 LHJ Edison Mazda ad from the Saturday Evening Post 1924 Large Sea Nymphs Large Lute Player Large (something with Elves) which I believe is LHJ 1996 Cornish Arts Colony New Hampshire advertisement (2 copies) Puss in Boots Ole King Cole from the knickerbocker hotel Snow White 3 Errant Pan 2 Quod Erat 1 potpourri 3 Twilight 2 valentine 7 plates from the spiral bound KOH 16 loose hard pages from the hard bound KOH Der Ring des Nibelungen illustrated by Parrish 2 Old Romance 1 sandman 2 villas And about 30 random bookplates I’m open to offers and questions! If someone wanted to invest the time there is money to be made selling each bookplate for $20-$60 and selling each book. I don’t have that kind of time, but make an offer since there’s plenty of meat on the bone!
