1925W1862New York: Unpublished 1925. Original photograph by the Australian-American photographer Anton Bruehl 1900-1982. A vintage circa 1925 gelatin silver print mounted on cardstock. 7 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. The photograph is unsigned but the composition of the still-life photo includes a roughly torn piece of paper that includes the caption that was handwritten by the photographer and is signed "Greetings Anton Bruehl." In 1919 the Australian born Bruehl along with his brother and parents emigrated to the United States where he worked for Western Electric as an electrical engineer until an exhibition of Clarence H. White's photographs persuaded him to change professions. In 1924 he enrolled in White's photography school and by the next year was hired to teach in the school. In a 1976 article for Image magazine landscape photographer Joe Deal observed that "Anton Bruehl's background in engineering and love of machine forms in combination with his training under Clarence White resulted in still life photographs which give the satisfaction of well-resolved formal problems and portraits choreographed with the rhythm and movement characteristic of the age." Bruehl's early black and white still-life photographs are much more scarce than his later color images and they seldom come on the market. The photograph is clean and bright with just a hint of edgewear and a 1-inch crease line at the bottom edge. . First Edition. Single Sheet. Collectible-Very Good. Illus. by Anton Bruehl. 7 1/2" X 5 1/2". Photo. Unpublished
19581682<p>This is a rare lithograph of the <em>St Roch</em> which now sits in the Vancouver Maritime Museum. It is a black and white painting done by maritime artist Noel Day and published by Vancouver printer Frank Coan. It was produced between 1956 and 1961. It is framed under glass with a total size of 16 ¾" x 12 ½".</p><p>If you like I can remove the piece from the frame and mail it in a tube.</p><p><strong>About the <em>St. Roch</em>:</strong></p><p>The <em>St. Roch</em> was the first vessel to traverse the Northwest Passage from west to east 1940-1942 the first to complete the passage in one season 1944 and the first to circumnavigate North America. She was built in BC named after a parish in Quebec captained by a Norwegian immigrant crewed by farm boys from across Canada and helped by the Inuit. She has an unusual design featuring thick Douglas Fir planks reinforced with heavy beams to withstand ice pressure and an outer shell made of some of the hardest wood in the world Australian Eucalyptus or "iron bark".</p><p>Between 1928 and 1954 she logged tens of thousands of miles in the Arctic acting as a floating RCMP. As a supply ship a patrol vessel and a transport the <em>St. Roch</em> was the only link between the scattered northern communities.</p><p>For many years it had been the dream of Captain Henry Larsen to cross the Northwest Passage just as Roald Amundsen had for the first time in the <em>Goja</em> in 1903. Finally with the outbreak of the WWII and the Nazi invasion of Denmark Greenland the opportunity presented itself. Launched on its famous voyage on a secret mission to cross the Arctic during the war this amazing vessel traveled through treacherous and uncharted waters to cross the Northwest Passage and the high Arctic with only a small crew of steadfast men who had to rely on their skill talent and luck. Incredibly they managed to make the crossing not once but twice and in only 86 days.</p><p><em>Please note that for the stated delivery price I only ship to Canada and the continental USA.

199046520<p>London : Frederick Muller 1990. First edition. A curious late Raven memoir apparently soon withdrawn from publication having been subjected to the most savage reviews he can ever have experienced - by Craig Brown Christopher Hitchens Humphrey Carpenter and not least by Auberon Waugh - "With a shock we realise that Raven is writing about real people albeit dead ones . I am sorry to be pompous but this simply won't do . These were all people that I knew . Forget about libel or good taste or the normal standards of civilised reticence . The interesting thing is not that he should have had these experiences but that he should choose to say he has and that he should find a publisher prepared to print them". Medium 8vo 25cm. x190viiipp. Original orange boards blocked and lettered in black; text a little tanned as usual but otherwise a very good copy in the dust-jacket - the jacket a little faded at spine but otherwise also very good.</p> London : Frederick Muller, (1990). hardcover

Very Good - Collation: pp. 241 Please see Photos as part of condition report. 1949 1st Edition ZEN BUDDHISM By Christmas Humphreys Synopsis: A landmark work in the history of the Western discovery of Zen. Travers Christmas Humphreys QC 15 February 1901 13 April 1983 was an English barrister who prosecuted several controversial cases in the 1940s and 1950s and later became a judge at the Old Bailey. He also wrote a number of works on Mahayana Buddhism and in his day was the best-known British convert to Buddhism. In 1924 he founded what became the London Buddhist Society which was to have a seminal influence on the growth of the Buddhist tradition in Britain. The impetus for founding the Lodge came from theosophists with whom Humphreys socialised. Both at his home and at the lodge he played host for eminent spiritual authors such as Nicholas Roerich and Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and for prominent Theosophists like Alice Bailey and far Eastern Buddhist authorities like D.T. Suzuki. Other regular visitors in the 1930s were the Russian singer Vladimir Rosing and the young philosopher Alan Watts and in 1931 Humphreys met the spiritual teacher Meher Baba. The Buddhist Society of London is one of the oldest Buddhist organisations outside Asia. His former home in St John's Wood London is now a Buddhist temple.
