AUSSTELLUNG JAPAN. KUNSTWERKE WAFFEN. SCHWERTZIE RATEN. LACKE. GEWEBE HOLZSCHNITTE
by Alexander Mosle. Berlin 1909. Konigliches Kunstgewerbe Museum.
Other than a picture of Kano Natsuo at the front, this book is descriptions of 2,249 items in the collection.
The book is inscribed by Alexander Mosle to Robert Rucker, February 16, 1929. This is a catalog of the collection to go with a showing at the museum in Berlin. Robert Rucker was an American scholar and collector of Japanese art who helped write the above books. This book is heavily annotated by Robert Rucker, with notes, prices, cross references to other works, and more. Quoting a note left in the book from a previous book seller, "As a "key" to Mosle's collection by one who knew it intimately, this volume is likely invaluable."
This is a very rare and hard to find volume. Hardbound, 6" x 9", 385 pages in German.

JAPANESE ART: Paintings, Lacquer, Sculpture and Metal Work, Pottery and Ceramics, Textiles, Musical Instruments
by Alexander Mosle and The Smithsonian Museum. 1938.
This catalog was prepared for an exhibition of 56 pieces Alexander Mosle had decided to keep, to and for himself, to be presented at the Smithsonian, and which never happened. Because the exhibition never happened, copies of this book are very difficult to find. Only those given by Alexander Mosle to friends and associates still exist.
This copy is inscribed, "Gift from Mr. Mosle on his visit to me at the office 6/7/41 at which time I purchased a 'Natsuo' kozuka from him. HG".
 There is an Ex Libris stamp inside the fron t with the name Harry C. Goebel. Corrected text has been glued into the book at 2 places and a 2 page supplement is glued inside the back. Softbound, 6" x 8 1/2", 32 pages in English.
