Modestly illustrated, but printed in a striking array of typeface, many with graduated colors and hues in green, red, purple blue and black. Very good example with light foxing and mild soil. The Brooklyn publisher, Anderson, uses an interesting strategy inside the front cover and in a side-by-side format on the rear cover in showing partial samples of songs, of which complete copies can be purchased for 25 cents. The rear ads offers two songs (“Jessie Clyde” and “My Mississippi Home”) by an apparently obscure minstrelsy group calling themselves the Nonpareil Colored Troubadours. Not recorded on OCLC which does note a dime book songster with similar title and a like-titled broadside. $75

Australian Violin-Maker’s violin making notebook while student of famed violin master craftsman George Wulme Hudson.
[142156] (VIOLINS - VIOLIN-MAKERS - AUSTRALIA) [George Charles Sidney Peters] .
[N.p.]: [s.n.], [internal dates, 1940’s-1950’s]. Small octavo, [44] leaves. Manuscript notebook, thin sheep or simulated leather over flexible boards. Hinges cracked, binding shaken. Entries and drawings legible, accomplished in pencil and ink. Laid in, as follows: a small black and white photograph of Italian violin maker Maestro Cesare Castelli of'Ascoli Piceno, circa. 1950’s or 1960’s, working in his shop; verso with typed captions, rubber stamp; early 20th century 2 pp. circular advertising violins for sale by violin maker and restorer A.L. Scholes of Rushdon, Northamption; An early 20th century 8pp. pamphlet, a price list of violins, violas, etc. for sale by Philip Levy; six folio pages of ms. notes and drawings, in pencil, recording instructional techniques of Hudson for varnishing, wood choices, various body-shaping techniques. George Wulme Hudson (1862-1952) was a prolific violin and instrument maker. Primarily working in London and Surrey, Hudson eventually rose to high esteem to become recognized as an important violinmaker. Towards the apex of his career, Hudson was commissioned to author a series of articles between 1933 to 1934 on violin-making that were published in the prestigious journal, “The Strad.” These articles discussed varnish making, polishing, colouring, and numerous techniques employed by Hudson. Although Hudson worked primarily as a copyist of outstanding violins of the past, his attention to superb detail and the fine methodology of his craft reinforced his excellence for creating replicas with superb tonal standards. Recently, auction records at the major houses reflect the current appreciation for Hudson’s remarkable instruments. This ms. notebook serves as an interesting adjunct commentary to Hudson’s career. It’s authorship is attributed to Australian violin-maker and repairer George Charles Sidney Peters (?-1986) with various pages seen initialed throughout as “G.S.P.” Peters trained in England with Hudson in Surrey around 1942. The notes and drawings frequently and directly cite Hudson’s teachings [e.g. “Mr. Hudson says very close grain stand out like pitch pine has best carrying tone...”] and offer a clear pupil-to-mentor view of violin-making and craftsmanship in the mid-20th century. Peters’ notes on violin-making discuss, in part: varnishing; patches; specifics for the bass bar; gluing on the belly, assembling the finger board; polishing the neck, grafting and lapping a bow; grafting a violin head; various viola measurements; trimming the ribs; bending; scooping out the violin's back; making f-holes, etc. $450
