Esoteric masterpiece

SPARE, Austin O. Earth Inferno. London: Co-operative Printing Society. February 1905.

Folio (448 x 354 mm). Brown printed wrappers, secured with string tie at spine and lettered in black to front wrapper, in card folder; pp. 30, with 12 full-page illustrations, ornaments, and vignettes from line blocks designed by the author; covers with small chips to edges (as usual), string tie renewed; occasional light spotting, edges of wrapper and spine reinforced with archival tape, but generally very good.

First limited edition, number 59 of 265 copies signed by the author, of this striking work of esoteric mysticism and grotesque.

Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956) was an English artist and occultist. At the age of seventeen, he produced Earth Inferno, his first book, as a reaction to the public attention he garnered after becoming the youngest artist featured in the Royal Academy’s 1904 summer exhibition. "A serious and autodidactic youth, he told a Daily Chronicle journalist that he was inventing his own religion" (ODNB). Although Spare attracted patrons as an illustrator and bookplate designer, he was regarded as an enfant terrible at the Royal College of Art, where he befriended feminist activist Sylvia Pankhurst before leaving in 1905, without completing his studies.

Earth Inferno features poems and aphorisms in an aesthetic style heavily influenced by the artist Charles Ricketts (1866-1931), one of Spare’s early supporters. Each pair of pages presents a large woodcut illustration by Spare, alongside a commentary. In addition to excerpts from Dante’s Inferno, the book includes passages from Edward FitzGerald’s Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The line blocks were produced by Arc Engraving Company, Ltd.

A second edition was not printed until 1976.

Great dog toys
Color: S6-muti-color
These are long lasting, durable dog toys. My dogs love the squeak sound.

Durable
Color: S6-muti-color
The balls are great for chewers. The squeaky didn’t last long but they are perfect for the ball launcher.

The squeeker isn't durable, but the balls themselves are.
Color: S6-muti-color, Color: S6-muti-color
I have two 70+lb, ball obsessed dogs (a field bred Golden Retriever, and an Old Time Scotch Collie), and these balls are living up to the abuse they're receiving. In the fall we always lose a ball or two in the yard due to getting lost in leaves or longer grass, so I always try and buy a multi pack at the start of the season, so went with these this year. I'm glad I did. Great price for a 6 pack, they fit the medium Chuck-It launcher (a little loosely, but they throw just fine), have great bounce, they FLOAT (which means I didn't lose any at the beach), and they're super durable to the dreaded "mouth squish." The squeaker dies pretty quick, like, within a day, but it isn't the kind that can fall out or choke your dog, so no worries there. The boys are happy, I'm happy, my wallet is happy - I've already ordered another pack.

Disappointed
Color: S6-muti-color
These were great for about 20 minutes then they stopped squeaking...we have 2 left that I have saved but the other 4 do not squeak anymore...disappointed as my dog loves to squeak things...would not buy these again...My dog is only an 8lb dog too...but he can still play with the balls without the squeak...
