About This Item
Naples, Italy: Dalla Stamperia e Cartiera Del Fabreno Printing and Paper Mill, 1831. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 16mo 6" - 7" tall. Perhaps a unique item, at the very least an uber-scarce item, and not available either on-line or in WorldCat. Published in apparent First Edition, though not so stated, in Naples, Italy, from the Fibreno printing and paper mill, 1831. A curious and rare item, featuring a brilliant black-and-white device at title page, and then a fetching poem about injustice in an Italian town in the early-mid 19th century. Italian language text. Bound into simple, brown paper-colored boards, title and date affixed neatly to front cover. There are two typed accompanying documents, the first in English, typed on onion-skin: 1) "This wonderful old paper book of 1831 sent as a gift from Gino Sabattini of Bologna, Italy, my bookplate collector of long standing. It is a rare treasure for my collection of cat books and is about a cat who lost his life for stealing a fish. Strange how such a fragile thing, without board covers, could endure for such a length of time. Fairfax, California, September, 1959." 2), the same transcription, older paper, folded twice Bologna 14 Settembre 1959. Gentila Amica: Ho ricevute il plico colle belle figurine di animali e fiori e gli Ex Libris e La ringrazio molto Il 3 scorso Le ho inviato alcuni Ex libris e qualche vecchia cartolina di gatti. Qui unito le mando un'operetta del 1831 cha tratta della lacrimevole morte di un gatto per avare rubato un pesce. Spero che potra far parte della Sua raccolta. Le unisco pure un Exlibris inciso dal Giapponese Senpan Moekawa. Appartieneal Danese Bartram Jensen, che Lei conoscera certamente. Rappresenia un gatto alquanto stilizzato. Spero che Lei non lo abbia gia. Saluti cordiali Sabattini (hand signed)." 15, [1] pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
