FREDERICK WILLIAM GOOKIN
AND
HOWARD MANSFIELD
CUSTODIANS, APPRAISERS, AND LOVERS OF BEAUTY
As chosen guests we may partake Of this strange hostel's ancient wine. For thirst no common drink can slake Tapsters of lineage divine Here pour sweet anodyne.
The hurly-burly of the road, The turmoil of the carters' feet, Intrude not to this still abode Where travellers from the world-ends meet, And find the gathering sweet.
Hence may perhaps some secret gleam Follow along our onward way, From evening feast with lords of dream, As we go forth into the grey To-morrow's cloudy day. {11}
PREFACE
For assistance of many kinds in preparing this book the thanks of the author are gratefully offered to Mr. Frederick William Gookin, Mr. Howard Mansfield, Mr. William S. Spaulding, Mr. John T. Spaulding, Mr. Judson D. Metzgar, Mr. Charles H. Chandler, Mr. John Stewart Happer, Col. Henry Appleton, Mrs. Arthur Aldis, Mr. Ernest Oberholtzer, and Mr. Charles August Ficke. Though many obligations must perforce go unacknowledged, it would be improper to fail to state indebtedness to the writings of Von Seidlitz, Bing, Huish, Anderson, Strange, Binyon, Gookin, Kurth, Morrison, Happer, Koechlin, Vignier, Succo, Field, De Goncourt, Okakura, Edmunds, Perzynski, Wright, Fenollosa, and De Becker.
Many collectors have kindly allowed their prints to be used for illustration in this book. That all the examples are from American collections is due to considerations of convenience, not to any notion of their superiority. All prints not credited to another owner are from the collection of the author. The other collections from which illustrations are drawn are as follows:�
Spaulding (William S. and John T.), Boston, Massachusetts.{12}
Gookin (Frederick W.), Chicago, Illinois.
Mansfield (Howard), New York.
Chandler (Charles H.), Evanston, Illinois.
Metzgar (Judson D.), Moline, Illinois.
Ainsworth (Miss Mary), Moline, Illinois.
Four of the poems herein printed appeared first in The Little Review. A number of the others are from the author's book "Twelve Japanese Painters." Most of the photographs here reproduced were prepared by Mr. J. H. Paarman, Miss Sarah G. Foote-Sheldon, and Mr. J. D. Metzgar.
Davenport, Iowa, U.S.A.{13}
