First editions, except The Chinese Nightingale, 1919 (first published 1917). Uniformly bound for Thomas Rénaud Rutter, and each signed and inscribed by Lindsay on the first blanks: the first to Renaud's mother, Mrs. Louise Warren Rutter, with her bookplate to verso of the front free endpaper facing; the second with "My most fraternal good wishes to Thomas Rutter"; the last "Good wishes and good will to Thomas Rutter" with the first three lines from Lindsay's ambiguous paean to the city of both his and Rutter's birth, "Magical Springfield": "In this - the city of my discontent/Sometimes there comes a whisper from the grass/ Romance, romance is here", initialled on the front free endpaper verso. The latter two works have Rutter's nautically-themed bookplate. Springfield native Thomas Rénaud Rutter, the son of tea importer and engineer J. E. T. Rutter, was a Princeton-educated lawyer who at one time served on the staff of the Judge Advocate General of the US Army, before becoming an attorney for the American Sugar Refining Co. He retired to California in 1927, sometime commodore of the Newport Beach Yacht Club. All of the inscriptions are dated 12 May 1921 in Plainfield, NJ, home town of his wife Abbie, née Holstein. A not unattractively, if rather stiffly, bound group of the works of the "Prairie Troubadour", who was famed for his declamatory, performance poetry, with a pleasing Springfield association. 3 vols octavo (188 x 123 mm). City flag in colours to the title page of the last-named. Uniformly bound in contemporary black hard-grain morocco, titles gilt to spines, low bands, devices to the compartments, gilt panels to the boards, recipient's monogram within a laurel wreath to the front boards, marbled endpapers. Lightly rubbed at the extremities, pale toning of the text-blocks, but overall very good. …

1st Edition. Good. Wear along original fold lines. Verso repairs to fold separations and at fold intersections. Slight loss at some fold intersections. Closed margin tears professionally repaired on verso. Size 26.75 x 31.25 Inches. This is a large-format signed 'map of the universe,' produced in 1929 by the author and poet Vachel Lindsay, whose work was characterized by ethereal imagery and esoteric influences. A Closer Look The sheet is divided in two, with the left-hand side including the 'map of the universe,' which refers to Lindsay's 1920 novel The Golden Book of Springfield , while the right-hand side includes illustrations relating to Lindsay's poem 'The Queen of Bubbles' as well as an additional poem 'The Amaranth,' text explaining the purpose of the poster, and references to portions of Lindsay's work relating to the illustrations. The Golden Book of Springfield is often classified as a work of utopian fiction, describing Lindsay's hometown of Springfield, Illinois as imagined to exist one hundred years in the future, in 2018. Though deeply rooted in Christianity, Lindsay's utopian vision of a multicultural future Springfield draws on a wide range of religious traditions and social movements, including Tibetan Buddhism, anticipating the New Age movement by several decades. Akin to his poetry but in prose form, Lindsay's text is difficult to say the least; a representative passage: 'The Thibetan Boy takes me, in one instant, to the far edge of Space and Time, way beyond the North Star and its dandelions. And as we stand on the shaking shore of Space and Time we see and hear, rolling in from Chaos, endless smoke and glory and darkness and dissolving foam.' The 'Map of the Universe' depicted here includes depictions of futuristic Springfield, UFO-like flying machines, and the universal 'ascension' discussed in the last part of the book. The map is surrounded by hieroglyphs representing the 'twenty-four hours' journey of the sun.' As the text at right explains, Lindsay first privately printed the map in 1904 and it was an ongoing theme or muse in Lindsay's work for years. 'The Queen of Bubbles' was also an important representation of Lindsay's larger musings on the human condition and the nature of the cosmos, the imagery of which he describes at length below the illustration. 'The Amaranth,' including in this description of 'The Queen of Bubbles,' anticipates The Golden Book of Springfield with its allusions to a great future city in harmony with the universe. Both poems were in a formative stage at the time, and when ultimately published would differ considerably. It is notable that both 'The Map of the Universe' and 'The Queen of Bubbles' were first conceived in 1904, the year when Lindsay first had intense mystical-religious visions. Publication History and Census This sheet, including the illustrations, was prepared by Lindsay in a limited run of 2,000, all of which he signed. It followed a first edition of the broadside, printed in a run of 500 in 1924 (OCLC 18399074). Selling these signed works was likely a means of ameliorating his financial difficulties at the time (see biography below). This edition of the signed 'Map of the Universe' is well-represented in institutional collections but fairly scarce to the market. References: OCLC 2001634, 18399074 (first ed.). Signed by Author(s).…
