1783242998Dezauche 1783. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 19.75 x 25.5". Sheet measures 21.5 x 30".<br/><br/> This map of Canada and the northern United States extends north from around the latitude of Baltimore all the way up to Baffin Bay along the shore of Greenland. Published by Jean-Claude Dezuache in 1783 it is the eighth revision of a map originally published by De L'Isle in 1703. The map is notable as the first to include "Etats-Unis" in the title coming as it did on the heels of the American Revolution. In fact this appearance is one of the earliest appearances of the name United States Etats-Unis on a printed map. The map is compelling in its accuracy particularly with regard to the Great Lakes depicting them as fully enclosed and properly placed in longitude and latitude. There is also excellent detail around the Hudson and Mississippi Rivers. The elaborate cartouche is decorated with a beaver natives one of whom is bearing a scalp and Jesuit explorers. Furthermore the fleurs-de-lis that previously adorned the shield at the top of the cartouche has been erased and the crown converted into a halo suspended above an orb a response to the execution of the king following the French Revolution Below a table of colors delineates the boundaries of the United States and European possessions. Indian nations are also labeled. The map is in excellent condition with wide margins as issued. Guillaume De L'Isle 1675--1726 was a French cartographer known for his popular and accurate maps of Europe and the newly explored Americas and Africa. He is important as the first "scientific" cartographer who incorporated the most current information on exploration and topography into his maps. Philippe Buache 1700--1773 was a student of De L'Isle and became one of the most active proponents of the so-called school of theoretical cartography active in mid-18th century France. This map is fascinating record from a remarkable moment in North American history.<br/><br/> Dezauche unknown books

2018166725Zurich: Scheidegger & Spiess 2018. Paperback. New in shinkwrap. Turquoise softcover with BW-illustration and white lettering. 96 pp. 55 color illustrations. The development of abstraction was a central process of modern art. But even artists who orientated themselves on the stylistic devices of figurative art influenced modernity considerably. This is illustrated by masterly - and sometimes seldom shown - works from the Kunsthaus Zürich collection which are brought together in this book. It thematizes the reception of such representational art as part of the collection history of the museum. The selection of important positions from 1890 to 1965 includes representatives of the naive the New Objectivity Dadaism and Surrealism among them artists as diverse as Arnold Böcklin Salvador Dalí Adolf Dietrich René Magritte Henri Rousseau and Félix Vallotton. Together they have the motivation to continue to offer image spaces that seem plausible to the eye. However it is no longer about realism but about the primacy of the imagination: a "visionary objectivity." -First Search. Scheidegger & Spiess paperback books
