RUSSIAN ART JOURNAL.:Zhar-Ptitsa/Jar-Ptitza [The Firebird]. Paris and Berlin: Russkoe Iskusstvo, August 1921-January 1926. 14 issues in 13 volumes (No. 4/5 double issue). 4to (315 x 240 mm). Illustrated in color and black and white, with many plates tipped in. Original color lithographed wrappers. Some issues missing spines with pages detached; internal tears and some loss.

A COMPLETE SET OF THE RARE RUSSIAN EMIGRE LITERARY ART MAGAZINE IN ORIGINAL ISSUES, reportedly no more than 300 copies were printed. Supplemental summaries of the numbers were provided in the back in a variety of languages including English. Zhar-ptitsa was the most influential art journal of the flourishing community of exiles who were feverishly trying to keep the culture of Old Russia alive. Due to paper shortages and extensive censorship by the Bolsheviks back in the USSR, the Russian book business was booming in Germany and France. This lavish periodical was the natural successor to S. Diaghilev\'s Mir iskusstva since many of those involved had been members of the World of Art Group and designers for the Ballets Russes. The rich selection subjects and contributors under A. E. Kogan\'s art department embraced L. Bakst, A. Benois, I. Bilibin, M. Chagall, S. Chekhonin, N. Goncharova, B. Grigoriev, B. Kustodiev, M. Larionov, V. Shukaev, K. Somov, S. Sudeikin and many other important artists. Poet Sasha Cherny was literary editor; and such important writers as L. Andreev, K. Balmont, I. Bunin, V. Khodasevich, B. Pilnyak, A. Remizov, N. Teffi, A.N. Tolstoi, B. Zaitsev, and the young Vladimir Nabokov (as \"V. Sirin\") appeared in its pages. Fekula called Zhar-ptitsa \"perhaps the most famous of post-revolutionary art journals, whose contributors threw new light on the development of Russian art at the beginning of the twentieth century.\" According to Vengerov, \"Even separate issues of the magazine, let alone complete sets of its issues, are a great bibliographic rarity.\" Fekula 5742; Vengerov Staraya russkaya kniga 105.

BRY, THEODOR DE. 1528-1598; AND THOMAS HARIOT.:Admiranda Narratio Fida Tamen, de Commodis et Incolarum Ritibus Virginiae. Frankfurt: Johann Wechel, 1590.
Folio (332 x 240 mm). Engraved title (first issue, see below), engraved arms on dedication leaf, double-page engraved map of Virginia in first state, engraved plate of Adam and Eve in first state with inscription \"Iodocus a winghe in Theodore de Bry fe.\" and 27 engraved plates after John White. Late 19th-century red morocco gilt by \"Bradstreet\'s for J. Comly MacCoy,\" gilt edges. Some light mostly marginal staining. Provenance: J.C. MacCoy (booklabel and binding).


FIRST EDITION, MOSTLY FIRST ISSUE (see below) OF THE FIRST VOLUME OF DE BRY\'S GREAT VOYAGES, BEING THOMAS HARIOT\'S DESCRIPTION OF VIRGINIA, and published during De Bry\'s lifetime. Thomas Hariot accompanied the 1585 expedition to Roanoke funded by Sir Walter Raleigh and acted as a translator. He had learned Carolina Algonquian from two Roanoke chiefs brought to England by Raleigh the year before. His account is a very encouraging one as the mysterious disappearance of Roanoke colony was not reported in Europe until John White, the expedition artist and mapmaker, returned in 1590.The 23 illustrations to the text, which are after John White\'s drawings, are by far the most important visual record of New World natives as first encountered by the English colonists. Also included is the highly important double-page map, the first map to identify Chesapeake Bay and \"the first printed map of this degree of detail and accuracy for any part of the present area of the United States\" (Cumming). It was dubbed by Burden \"one of the most significant cartographical milestones in colonial North American history ... the most accurate map drawn in the sixteenth century of any part of that continent. It became the prototype of the area until long after James Moxon\'s map in 1671... This is the first map to focus on Virginia (now largely North Carolina), and records the first English attempts at colonization in the New World. First issue engraved title as Church 140a, the plate not worn but without the printed \"cum gratia et privilege...\" at the bottom of the title panel. Map and most plates in first issue (plates 4, 7, 11, 12 second issue). D6 is a blank and genuine. Burden 76 (first state); Church 140; Cumming Southeast 12-13; European Americana 590/31; Sabin 8784.
