Elisee and Elie Recluse, In Memoriam
Berkeley Heights, Oriole Press, 1927. Compiled, edited, and printed by Ishill, and also inscribed by Ishill, in 1929, to Stephanus Fabijanovic, a German anarchist writer who moved to Los Angeles. The recipient has also inscribed the book, notating its receipt. Ishill emigrated from Romania to the U.S. in 1909 and joined the Ferrer Colony, an anarchist intentional community established in 1915, which lasted for nearly 40 years. Having apprenticed to a printer before coming to the U.S., he established his own press, the Oriole Press, in New Jersey to publish anarchist and other related writings. The editions were typically very small, and he gave the works away to those who were interested or would preserve them for the future. Spine label absent, loss to cloth at corner, a bit of play to binding; at best, a very good copy. A good association between two notable anarchist immigrants of the early 20th century.
