[Stravinsky] Ramuz, C. F. Souvenirs sur Igor Strawinsky. Avec 6 hors-texte. Lausanne : Mermod, 1929. First edition, printed wrapper in paper with original publisher's glassine dust wrapper, now worn. French text. Limited edition, copy number 838. This copy inscribed and signed by Igor Stravinsky to economist Eric D. Bouet, on the first page of text, opposite a frontispiece portrait of Stravinsky. Achevé d'imprimer au Verseau à Lausanne le dix octobre mil neuf cent vingt-neuf sous la direction de C. Sauter. 22 cm x 16.5 cm, 106 pages, 105 paginated. Text begins on page 11, counting front-cover as page 1. Six plates: frontispiece of Stravinsky; Vue de la Crochettaz; Le Treytorrens ou de la Crochettaz ; Portrait de Ramuz par I Strawinsky 29 juin 1917 chez Noverry Lausanne ; Page du brouillion de <> ; and on the verso, Sous-verre de René Auberjonois, <>.
Ramuz made the acquaintance of Stravinsky in the autumn of 1915, after the history-making premiere of Le Sacre du Printemps in 1913 and the outbreak of World War I in 1914, on the recommendation of Ernest Ansermet, the conductor for Diaghilev's Russian Ballet in 1915. Stravinsky's sources of income dried up because of the Diaghilev company's inability to tour and the Russian revolution of 1917. The idea of creating a touring theatre piece for narrator and a small ensemble, which could be easily staged was a brilliant wartime idea born of Stravinsky's need. Ramuz wrote the narration for L'histoire du soldat (The Soldier's Tale). Please contact us for a full description.

London: Simpkin and Marshal et al., 1834. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in a Fine slipcase. Original brown cloth, recently rebacked retaining nearly all of the original spine; spine label mostly lacking. A Presentation copy INSCRIBED by the author on the front blank: "To/William Wordsworth Esq./with the author's/compliments." In addition this copy is SIGNED by the recipient on the title page: "W Wordsworth/Rydal Mount." In this volume, and in a second that was issued the following year, Ord attempted a history of England in verse. His efforts were not well received. One reviewer in THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE claimed "that the author has formed his manner and style too much on that of Lord Byron in exaggeration, impetuosity, and a perpetual straining for effect." A scarce book from Wordsworth's library. Old bookseller description laid in. Housed in a new calf-backed slipcase with cloth chemise.
