First edition of this spectacular presentation souvenir album for the Century of Progress which influenced modernist architects for decades and served as an invaluable exhibit of art deco design motifs. The limited number of presentation albums appear to have been created as gifts by the photographers for the Board of Trustees Officers and Founder Members for the Exposition. These remarkable images include a night shot of the Grand Fountain; aerial views of the grounds; the facade of the Hall of Science which typified the linear geometric Art Deco style of the Fair designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret and one of the interior shots showing the Great Hall announcing Planck’s Quantum and Einstein’s Relativity theories; the General Electric buildings; the stunning Transportation Building with it’s amazing Art Deco facade and a nighttime view of the Planetarium and Terrazzo Reflecting Pools. The photographers have also included an excellent photo of Italo Balbo’s squadron of 24 Savoia-Marchetti SM.55X flying boats above Lake Michigan next to the fairgrounds. His planes had left Italy on June 30 1933 and finally arrived over Chicago on July 15 1933 and even carrying airmail of which the commemorative envelopes are still very desired items by collectors. Also included are views of the Streets of Shanghai Swift’s Orchestra Shell Admiral Byrd’s South Pole Ship the “City of New York†The Chrysler Motors Building Swiss Village Electrical building with fireworks in a night scene and many others. Kaufmann & Fabry was an active commercial photographic firm specializing in architectural photography in Chicago from before 1910 and are still an active company. Founders were Charles D. Kaufmann b. 1888 an Austrian-American and Herman Fabry 1879-1955 German-American who are perhaps best remembered as the official photographers of the 1933 Century of Progress World’s Fair and were awarded not only the rights for publishing and distributing photographs and photos in publications but also operated a camera shop and film processing lab on the Exhibition grounds through 1933 and 1934.

192059221Cincinnati OH & Chicago IL: Stewart Iron Works United States Motor Truck Co. Kaufmann & Fabry Co. 1920. Oblong 12mo. 6 x 4.5 in. 10 leaves unnumbered. w/ each separately featuring 5 linen-backed silver gelatin mounted photographs 50 in total sized 3.5 x 5.5 in. rounded corners many w/ negative no. in lower fore-edge w/in the negative leporello accordion style black linen hinges for each leaf mounted w/ linen hinges at gutter margin. Original stamped folding post-binder salesman case w/ foldover flap snapped clasp w/ gilt lettering stamped on front minor rubbing shelfwear still a VG bright copy. First edition thus of this exceedingly scarce original salesman sample photo catalogue for the short-lived truck manufacturer. Founded originally in 1862 by Stewart Sr. who opened the business originally in Covington KY the company quickly grew and eventually divided into three separate corporations by 1902. The Stewart company cornered the market on cemetery fencing across America manufactured the heavy duty trucks used by the US Army during World War I and installed iron works and benches in New York City’s Central Park the light fixtures in Congress fencing and gates at the Panama Canal the jail cells at Alcatraz Sing-Sing and Leavenworth. These sales photographs illustrate many of the companies purchasing heavy trucks from the US Motor Truck Co. division following World War I. Depicted here are flatbed trucks for The Diem & Wing Paper Co. in Cincinnati OH; Julius J. Bantlin Co. Wholesale Automotive Equipment and Saddlery; panel trucks for Baking companies w/ delivery doors built into the sides; a freezer or ice truck for the Niser Ice Cream Co. featuring curved cab similar to trolleys and other rail cars; or a dump truck for T.W. Spinks Co. featuring a Lehigh lift bed. The Stewart Iron Works truck division would continue until 1928 and also was a key truck supplier for Dow Drug Stores the Cincinnati Enquirer Cincinnati Post Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. and many others. Kaufmann & Fabry was an active commercial photographic firm specializing in architectural photography in Chicago from before 1910 and are still an active company. Founders were Charles D. Kaufmann b. 1888 an Austrian-American and Herman Fabry 1879-1955 German-American who are perhaps best remembered as the official photographers of the 1933 Century of Progress World’s Fair and were awarded not only the rights for publishing and distributing photographs and photos in publications but also operated a camera shop and film processing lab on the Exhibition grounds through 1933 and 1934. No copies of similar photographic catalogues could be located in institutional holdings or Worldcat and in fact almost no contemporary sales literature of the short-lived United States Motor Truck Co. division appears to have survived.

1975NB1981<p>"Introduction to the Theory of Fuzzy Subsets" is considered the first book ever written on fuzzy subset theory. In this pioneering work Kaufmann lays the foundation for this mathematical concept which extends classical set theory by allowing elements to belong to a set to a certain degree. The book covers the basic concepts of fuzzy sets including fuzzy membership functions operations on fuzzy sets and fuzzy relations. It also explores applications of fuzzy sets in various fields such as control theory pattern recognition and decision making.</p> Academic Press hardcover
