1877011232St. Louis: Published from 116 North Fourth Street 1877. First Edition. Hardcover. Front cover now detached and the spine largely lacking but the text block is tight and the book can be easily rebacked. Despite the defects Very Good and quite scarce. The first twelve issues of this scarce western photography monthly edited by J. H. Fitzgibbon one of America's finest daguerreotypists and well-known for his portraits of Native Americans. Bound in contemporary half morocco with the original front and rear wrappers for all issues as well as the ads bound in. Illustrated with 10 original photographs mostly mounted albumens including a portrait of Fitzgibbon by Bogardus an Adirondacks landscape by Stoddard and various posed studies. One image the Great Steel Bridge of St. Louis is printed directly on the paper; another is a chromotype of the Chicago Apollo Musical Club by Gentile. There is no image with the sixth issue nor is one listed in the contents. The albertype by E. Bierstadt for the eleventh issue is lacking as is a ferrotype specimen holder in one of the ads. The articles are informative and instructional covering both news and many different technical aspects of photography at the time with much longing for a return to the daguerreotype and a number of articles on new processes such as the Lambertype. This copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the editor to T. S. Lambert in January of 1878 on the inside front cover. Theodore Sarony T. S. Lambert was no relation to the creator of the Lambertype Claude Lambert but he did team up with Claude to sell exclusive license for the Lambertype process. <br/><br/> Published from 116 North Fourth Street hardcover

197087512New York: Outerbridge & Dienstfrey / Ballantine 1970. First Edition. First printing. Small quarto 21cm x 23cm; gray paper-covered boards hardcover; dustjacket; 157pp unpaginated; illus. Fine in the fragile printed mylar dustwrapper complete but slightly rubbed and scratched; Very Good.<br /> <br /> Somewhat uncommon cloth edition of this experimental pastiche of Carpenter's aphoristic writings and Heyman's documentary photographs. Heyman b. 1930 is perhaps best known as Margaret Mead's long-time collaborator and co-author with her of the books Family and World Enough. Carpenter was a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology and a frequent collaborator with Marshall McLuhan to whose work the current volume clearly owes a debt. An easy book to find in softcover but the cloth edition is elusive especially in the absurdly fragile mylar dustwrapper. Outerbridge & Dienstfrey / Ballantine unknown

193042850Leicester UK: Cascelloid 1930. Very good . Beautifully-produced trade catalogue from the Cascelloid "Palitoy" company displaying a wide range of baby dolls and other toys. Several uncomfortable designs of black children with pitch-dark skin date this catalogue at roughly the 1930s when the Cascelloid company was dubbed the "House of Constant Progress" by the industry press for its material innovations with the plastics Bexoid and Plastex. One page features a celluoid model by the noted designer Mary Lucie Attwell a doll named "Diddums." The catalogue also displays the company's offerings of animal dolls die-cast trucks pool toys golf and ping-pong sets rattles pinwheels and more. Needless to say color photography was not the norm at this time and this catalogue comprises a beautiful set of vivid and sharp photographic prints. A truly exceptional example unlike anything we've seen: simultaneously surreal and nostalgic. Oblong 4to. album. Blue leather-covered boards. Contains 29 color photographs all 9" by 6.5" approx. mounted on rectos one each of light-gray cardboard leaves. About very good plus overall. Moderate rubbing and edgewear to boards. Several pages display mild soiling and offsetting from photos. Prints just a bit yellowed but remain sharp vivid and clean. [Cascelloid] hardcover
1880ABC_487221880. Tipped onto a stiff paper mount ca. 40 x 30 cm. Kept in a clear plastic sleeve. One albumen print ca. 22 x 27.5 cm. Striking large photograph of two Bedouins on horseback carrying large birds of prey for hunting. Bedouins have a long history of falconry as it was difficult for them to catch live prey in the desert otherwise. They typically captured the falcons trained them for a few months then released them back into the wild before breeding season. This tradition no longer exists in this manner as hunting is now forbidden throughout most of the Arabian Peninsula. As such the present photograph offers a unique insight into 19th-century falconry in the Arabian Desert.The edges are somewhat discoloured and the corners are creased from a past mounting method. Otherwise in very good condition. ABE CAT Falconry & Hunting ABE CAT Middle East Arabian Peninsula unknown

FIRST EDITION AND A FINE COPY OF THE AMERICAN STORY TOLD IN PHOTOGRAPHS IN TWO VOLUMES. "This is a thrilling story a saga more grand in performance than any of the fabled conceptions of older lands.

So too is the wondrous beauty of this land; the despair of people who find it blowing away from them. War unfortunately is part of it; all the people who will face war to defend our heritage another part." - From the Introduction Duell, Sloan and Pearce hardcover
