Emma Lambotte, Albert Mockel, and Belgian Symbolism

Emma Lambotte (nee Protin 1878-1963) was a Belgian writer and art critic, who wrote
under the name Emael, and was associated in particular with James Ensor, about whom she
wrote numerous articles, and with whom she engaged in correspondence - Ensor's 1907
painting 'Portrait of Emma Lambotte' appears on the front cover of the book 'Lettres a
Emma Lambotte 1904-1914':

her portrait was also painted by Belgian artist Henry de Groux; She was married to surgeon
and patron of the arts Albin Lambotte.

Poet Albert Mockel (1866-1945) was a prominent figure in Belgian and European
Symbolism, and served as editor of the important journal of Belgian Symbolism La Wallonie
(which he founded in 1886). He wrote numerous books and articles on the Symbolist
movement in literature.

The following are from Emma Lambotte’s library – all (apart from the Friendship Book) are
uniformly bound in half tan calf with raised bands and gilt-titling to spines, all with
Lambotte’s bookplate to prelims.

with cover design by P. Stanhope Hobday, with the well-known
'footprints' motif (used up to roughly 1948); issue 2 with cover design
by F.W. Smith; issue 3 was published with dustwrapper (with the
infamous Hibiscus illustration, designed by Peter Templeton, which
Christesen described as a 'Yates seed catalogue') - issue 3 sub-titled
"Everyman's Issue", quoting the Medieval play Everyman "Everyman, I
will go with thee", etc, and so-called in response to certain supposedly
obscure material in issue 2 - Christesen's editorial states "We hope
that the contents of this number will be 'more easily understood' by
Everyman"; Meanjin was founded by Clem Christesen in 1940 (in
opposition to the closing down of cultural affairs during WWII); the
first two issues were letterpress printed, but typos to issue 2 saw a
change to linotype for issue 3, which was printed by Roy Bulcock
(Vance Palmer's nephew) at Economy Printers; in 1945 Meanjin moved
from Brisbane to Melbourne under the aegis of patron Lina Bryans; it
is still being produced today as a subsidiary of Melbourne University
Press; the early issues are very scarce; all issues (and Index) with stamp
of The Queensland Authors & Artists Association (to wraps front and
rear and occasionally in text), of which P. Stanhope Hobday (footprints
motif) was president; issue 1 occasional light foxing, staples rusted
(but holding), wraps lightly rubbed, o.w. VG; issue 2 VG throughout in
lightly rubbed wraps; issue 3 tanned to first and last pages, o.w. VG
throughout in VG dustwrapper; issue 4 VG in rubbed wraps; Index Very
Good; a good history of Meanjin can be found in Patricia Excell's essay
"Meanjin 1940-1990 Flying Without Borrowed Plumes", from which I
have occasionally quoted here.

Australian poetry and literature periodical, being the second in a series

concerning the sending of the book to Selkirk, Scotland, for the poet
to autograph
Sydney, Angus & Robertson 1916 Signed 1st Edition
Hardbound, 8vo, no dustwrapper, 174pp (xxiv)

Unique copy of Will Ogilvie's book of poems on Australian themes and


also referencing the first World War - Signed by Ogilvie to title page,
and including two hand-written postcards from Mrs. W.H. Ogilvie to a
Mr. F.C. Fuller; at the top of both is printed 'Kirklea, Ashkirk, Selkirk',
being the name of the Presbyterian Church manse in Selkirk where the
Ogilvie's lived for many decades. The message from Mrs. Ogilvie
covers one side of the first postcard complete and continues to verso;
F.C. Fuller, the book's owner, had previously enquired as to whether
he could post the book to be autographed by the poet, after which it
would be sent back to Mr Fuller c/o the Bank of N.S.W. London, such
that he might retrieve it before his return to Australia (or 'sunny land'
as Mrs. Ogilvie describes it in the message). On a second postcard is
stated (again in Mrs. Ogilvie's hand) '22 June 1955 duly autographed
and book returned by W.H.O. as requested - to Mr. F.C. Fuller c/o Bank
of N.S.W. at Berkeley Square London W.9 K.M.O." - K.M.O. being Mrs.
(Madge) Ogilivie; to the front endpaper Fuller has inscribed his name,
followed by 'North Australia Survey Commonwealth Offices
Melbourne C.2 Victoria'; poet William Henry Ogilvie spent most of his
life in his native Scotland, but lived in Australia from 1889-1901, during
which time he worked as a horse-breaker and drover; the Australian
bush made a deep impression on him, and he wrote numerous poems
and ballads, many of which were published in the Bulletin; he
continued to write Australian poems after his return to Scotland,
sending them by mail to the Bulletin; the current volume contains
poems on Australian themes - droving, camels, bullocks, bush scenes,
and a poem on Aboriginal trackers; also includes a section of strident
war poems; newspaper clipping from 1963 marking Ogilvie's death is
adhered to prelims; green cloth boards with silhouette illustration of
drover on horseback smoking a pipe to front board, two colour
frontispiece plates by Hal Gye; title page dated 1916, 24 page A&R
catalogue to rear of text dated September 1916; a beaten-up copy
lacking the spine and with heavy insect damage to boards front and
rear; binding a little loose but boards and all pages holding; heavy
foxing, especially to prelims and text block, but continuing light-
medium through text, one poem with pencil annotations, two pages
with heavy offset from loose-inserted leaflet; this bookseller has
considered rebinding/restoring but concludes that the current
condition is in keeping with the story of the book, its travels, and the
correspondence herein detailed.

(1995); Bessie Mitchell (later Bessie Guthrie) set up The Viking Press in
1939, at which point she was described in the Sydney Morning Herald
as 'Australia's first woman publisher' - it ran until 1943 when wartime
paper shortages ended the venture; Mitchell/Guthrie was a feminist
and radical, artist and designer, who focussed on publishing poetry,
plays and anti-war tracts - she supplies the decorations for The
Untrammelled - my references here are from the article 'Out of Type:
Bessie Mitchell (Guthrie) and Viking Press (1939-1943)' by Louise
