Top edge gilt in Silk Chemise Fleece-lined / Slipcase. Custom endpapers from @paperwilds ooze and flow taking their cue from the colour palette of the principal text and self-portrait by Spare. The scale and quality of work make this something of a beast. N.B. This is the largest book we have yet produced 15 inches by 10 inches and it matches the original format of Spare's 1913 edition of The Book of Pleasure" - "There are few works in the life of Austin Osman Spare as notorious as his illustrations for Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis. First documented in the early 1930s by the socialite Viola Bankes Spare shared various anecdotes about this commission with friends and acquaintances until the end of his life. However drawings of a directly sexual nature remain surprisingly scarce in the artist's oeuvre despite his reputation for producing erotica. Recent biographers have even cast doubts on Spare's anecdotes noting Krafft-Ebing died long before the young artist became widely known. The discovery of the Psychopathia Sexualis folio in the archives of the Kinsey Institute is therefore a major milestone towards reclaiming and understanding the life story of the artist. Working closely with the team at the Kinsey Institute FULGUR PRESS is pleased to offer you the first publication of this masterpiece of the grotesque. Edited by Ryan M. Pfeiffer Rebecca Walz and Robert Shehu-Ansell this book reproduces the forty-four portfolio drawings in astonishing detail drawn from hi-resolution scans made directly from the original artwork. These extraordinary works by Spare have been augmented with a preface from Rebecca Fasman curator at the Kinsey Institute an introduction detailing the discovery by Ryan M. Pfeiffer and Rebecca Walz and illustrated analytical essays from Elijah Burgher Jeremy Biles and Robert Shehu-Ansell". First Edition Deluxe/Limited/Signed. Hard Cover/Full Pigskin/T.E.G. New.

19671458751967. Archive of eight vintage borderless photographs three typescript essays and a carbon typescript of the first essay and first page of the second by photographer Jerry Bauer circa 1967 with the photographs corresponding to the topics of the essays. <br/><br/>Bauer was an American photographer best known for his photographic portraits of writers with his portraits of Samuel Beckett being held in particularly high regard. Much of his work resides in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London.<br/><br/>The first essay "The American Underground: Mind Expansion A Messiah 'Love'" is an examination of Timothy Leary and the "League for Spiritual Discovery" LSD a communal organization carrying out studies in the religious use of psychedelic drugs as well as the effects of LSD. Two photographs are of the New York Millbrook estate mentioned in the essay one of the centers for the group one photograph of the estate itself and the other of two participants on the porch. Another photograph shows three young people lounging on a bed a young man with beads in his hand matching the description in the essay of a subject's focus on "a set of beads" and a description of the living quarters being ". . . simple: mattresses on the floor." <br/><br/>The second essay "American Underground : Mind Expansion The Poets 'Love' 2" is broken into three sections. The first is about the musical group The Fugs who Bauer describes as "the Beatles of the American underground." Two of the photographs in and around Washington Square Park feature members of The Fugs one of a gleaming Ed Sanders and Geoff Outlaw with two unidentified young women. In a second photograph the same group is on the grass along with Ken Weaver and a third unidentified young woman.<br/><br/>The second section of the essay is about "the two stars" of the underground film movement Andy Warhol stars Baby Jane Holzer and Edie Sedgewick with a corresponding photograph taken in Warhol's Factory showing Ingrid Superstar sitting on a mattress Baby Jane Holzer on the floor with her back to the camera along with several unidentified subjects. Holzer is identified from a published photograph by Bauer titled "Baby Jane Holzer" taken at the same time as the one in the archive.<br/><br/>The final section of the essay is a about American youth and drug culture in Greenwich Village as well as the neighborhood itself. Here the related photographs are of several young people seated on the grass one playing the guitar in Washington Square Park and one of several people standing around a Greenwich Village intersection.<br/><br/>The third essay "Andy Warhol: Film Director of America's Underground" is a study of Warhol's early experimental films. Beginning with a brief summation of Warhol's early career Bauer goes on to postulate about Warhol's films discussing the director's various regulars including Elekro Baby Jane Holzer Sally Kirkland Nico here spelled "Nicot" and others.<br/><br/>Photographs: Six photographs 10.75 x 8.25 inches two photographs 10.75 x 8 inches.

1987810Durham NC: Duke University Press 1987. First edition of the photographer's second major photobook. Quarto original cloth. Signed by Helen Levitt on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Not to be confused with the more common paperback edition. Helen Levitt and the author James Agee first collaborated in 1945 on a documentary film set in Harlem called "In the Street." Psychologist Robert Coles contributed the essays to this volume. Owen Edwards from The New York Times has noted that "in common situations Miss Levitt finds the glint of an often bizarre beauty that most of us-including photographers-do not notice. . . . She brings to her pictures an intensity that can be almost hypnotic." "There is no fundamental difference in the great landscapes and quiet portraits of Edward Weston and the profoundly revealing pictures of children by Helen Levitt. Both are photographic perceptions of the highest order" Ansel Adams. Duke University Press hardcover books

Demi cuir de Russie rouge à coins, dos à faux nerfs orné de filets dorés (rel. ép.). Très important ouvrage publiant pour la première fois en librairie des articles où la pensée et la méthode de critiques et de jugements de Sainte-Beuve s’affine et évolue. Les tomes 2 à 5 sont en édition originale, le tome 1 est en deuxième édition augmentée et corrigée (la première date de 1832 mais elle est incomplète) A ce sujet ; Sainte-Beuve a précisé en 1842 : « … l’auteur signale aux gens du métier, que c’est en définitive sur elle que, pour ses débuts critiques, il aimerait à être jugé ». Précieux exemplaire avec l’ex-libris manuscrit de Charles Labitte sur chaque volume ; on sait que Charles Labitte (1816-1845), brillant critique et historien, éminent professeur, fut en relation étroite avec Sainte-Beuve ; les lettres de ce dernier à Charles Labitte furent publiées pour la première en 1911 avec une introduction de Charles Sangnier. Ex-libris du grand bibliophile Gérard Sangnier. Vicaire, VII, 120-121. Quelques rousseurs, néanmoins bon exemplaire.

194715058New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1947. First edition of this collection of essay regarding the influence of John Maynard Keynes. Octavo original blue cloth. Signed by Nobel Prize winning-economist Paul Samuelson who contributed an essay to this volume. Fine in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing to the extremities. Other contributors include John Maynard Keynes Wassily Leontief Lloyd Metzler Gottfried Haberler Wassily Leontief Abba Lerner Joan Robinson Joseph A. Schumpeter and Jan Tinbergen among others. Paul Samuelson is one of the developers of both neo-Keynesian and neoclassical economics the latter of which still dominates mainstream economics. He was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1970. One of Samuelson's many novel contributions was that he generalized and applied mathematical methods developed for the study of thermodynamics to the field of economics. His inspiration for doing so came in part from his mentor polymath Edwin Bisdwell Wilson who was a former Yale student of the founder of chemical thermodynamics Willard Gibbs. Samuelson therefore is a successful example of interdisciplinarity and he combined these ideas in his magnum opus Foundations of Economic Analysis. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover books
