Monotipo o herkomergravure, 1891, firmato e datato sulla lastra in alto a destra Hubert Herkomer '91. Una bella impressione, stampata su carta contemporanea, con margini, condizioni perfette. “Il monotipo è il mezzo di stampa più diretto. L'artista dipinge su una superficie liscia e impermeabile, mette un pezzo di carta bianca sopra il dipinto e applica una pressione in modo che l'immagine dipinta venga trasferita sulla carta. […] Durante il diciannovesimo secolo ci fu molto ingegno nel trovare un modo per gli stampatori di creare edizioni che fossero pittoriche come il monotipo. Generalmente, gli inventori sperimentavano un composto speciale che poteva essere applicato al dipinto dell'artista ancora umido, non appena eseguito su una lastra di rame. Quando la lastra veniva asciugata e galvanizzata, poteva essere inchiostrata come una lastra incisa e stampata più e più volte, fornendo la spontaneità del monotipo, ma con la ripetibilità di altri mezzi di stampa. Vari inventori inventarono processi simili, e alla fine del 1800 erano disponibili tre processi per coloro che desideravano fare una stampa che avesse alcune delle qualità visive di un monotipo, ma che potesse anche essere prodotta in un'edizione di stampe identiche: il galvanografo, l'elettrotinta e l'herkomergravure, dal nome del suo inventore, Hubert Herkomer (1849-1914). William Merritt Chase (americano, 1849-1916) introdusse Herkomer al processo del monotipo nel 1885. Herkomer sviluppò il suo processo nel 1897, ma ne scrisse per la prima volta nel 1892. Potrebbe essere stato nel 1902 che Herkomer ricambiò il favore di Chase introducendolo all'herkomergravure, quando Chase tornò in Inghilterra. Il processo implicava la spalmatura di inchiostro su una lastra di rame e la creazione dell'immagine con le dita e/o i pennelli, come nel processo del monotipo. Poi la lastra veniva spolverata con una combinazione di polveri speciali, asciugata e placcata. L'immagine risultante era un quasi monotipo" (cfr. Andrew Stevens, American Monotypes from the Baker/Pisano Collection, pp. 3-6). Sir Hubert von Herkomer era un artista britannico di origine tedesca, e anche un regista e compositore pioniere del cinema. Sebbene fosse un ritrattista di grande successo, soprattutto di uomini, è ricordato soprattutto per le sue prime opere che avevano un approccio realistico alle condizioni di vita dei poveri Bibliografia Herkomer, Hubert.

Cat., by Russell Panczenko, Andrew Stevens, and D. Frederick Baker, pp. 3-6. Monotype or herkomergravure, 1891, signed and dated on plate at the upper right Hubert Herkomer ’91. A fine impression, printed on contemporary wove paper, with margins, perfect condition. “Monotype is the most direct print medium. The artist paints on a smooth, impermeable surface, places a blank piece of paper on top of the painting, and applies pressure so that the painted image is transferred onto the paper. […] Through the nineteenth century there was much ingenuity expended on finding a way for printmakers to create editions that were as painterly as monotype. Generally, inventors came up with a special compound that could be applied to the still-wet artist’s painting executed on a copper plate. When the plate was dried and electroplated, it could then be inked like an etched or engraved plate and printed again and again, providing the spontaneity of the monotype, but with the repeatability of other print media. Various inventors came up with similar processes, and by the end of the 1800s three processes were available for those wishing to make a print that had some of the visual qualities of a monotype, but could also be produced in an edition of identical prints: the galvanograph, the electrotint, and the herkomergravure, named after its inventor, Hubert Herkomer (English, 1849–1914). Herkomer was a popular painter of portraits and social genre scenes, and an inveterate experimenter in the arts. William Merritt Chase (American, 1849–1916) introduced Herkomer to the monotype process in 1885. Herkomer developed his process by 1897, but first wrote about it in 1892. It may have been in 1902 that Herkomer returned Chase’s favor by introducing him to the herkomergravure, when Chase next returned to England. The process involved smearing ink onto a copper plate and creating the image with fingers and/or brushes, as with the monotype process. Then the plate was dusted with a combination of special powders, dried, and electroplated. The resulting image was a quasi-monotype” (cfr. Andrew Stevens, American Monotypes from the Baker/Pisano Collection, pp. 3-6). Sir Hubert von Herkomer was a German-born British artist, and also a pioneering film-director and composer. Though a very successful portraitist, especially of men, he is mainly remembered for his earlier works that took a realistic approach to the conditions of life of the poor.

Acquaforte e bulino, 1747, stampata da H. Woodfall per John e Paul Knapton a Londra, nel 1749. Ottima impressione su carta vergata coeva, con margini, perfette condizioni. Questo raro lavoro fa parte dello splendido atlante anatomico del XVIII secolo, il The Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body di Albino. Venne pubblicato da John e Paul Knapton, a Londra, senza il permesso dell'autore solo due anni dopo la prima edizione del 1747, a Leida. Questa seconda edizione è stampata nello stesso enorme formato della prima edizione, con le illustrazioni derivanti dalle celebri tavole di Jan Wandelaar, curate qui da Charles Grignion, Jean-Baptiste Scotin, Ludovico Antonio-Ravenet e Louis-Pierre Boitard. Wandelaar posò scheletri e figure muscolose contro lussureggianti sfondi ornamentali per dare loro l'illusione di vitalità, arricchiti con contrasti di massa e luce per produrre un effetto tridimensionale. Etching with engraving, 1747. Printed by H. Woodfall for John and Paul Knapton, London, 1749. A very good impression on contemporary laid paper, with margins, perfect condition. This rare work is part of the most splendid anatomical atlas of 18th century, The Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body, published by John and Paul Knapton in London without author's permission (later that year they issued an English translation of the work), only two years after the 1st edition was published in 1747 in Leiden (largely at Albinus' own expense). This second edition is printed in the same enormous format as the first of 1747, with the celebrated Jan Wandelaar's plates re-engraved for this edition by Charles Grignion, Jean-Baptiste Scotin, Ludovico-Antonio Ravenet and Louis-Pierre Boitard. Wandelaar placed his skeletons and musclemen against lush ornamental backgrounds to give them the illusion of vitality, using contrasts of mass and light to produce a three-dimensional effect.

Dust jacket with a drawing of African-Americans playing drums, black and red on a yellow background.

The table of contents, at the beginning of the book, was also annotated by Hughes with the same pen p. 11. A major figure in the African-American cultural movement known as the Harlem Renaissance, the poet and novelist Langston Hughes (1901-1967) wrote works depicting the lives of black proletarians shared between joys, disillusions, hope, etc. all tinged with jazz and blues. "Through his work, he sought to show the importance of a "black consciousness" and a cultural nationalism that unites men rather than sets them against each other. This pride was subsequently taken up by many men of letters such as Jacques Roumain, Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Sédar Senghor and Aimé Césaire."

Figure majeure du mouvement culturel afro-américain dit de la Renaissance de Harlem, le poète et romancier Langston Hughes (1901-1967) écrivit des œuvres dépeignant la vie des prolétaires noirs partagée entre joies, désillusions, espoir, etc. le tout teinté de jazz et de blues. "Par son travail, il a cherché à montrer l'importance d'une « conscience noire » et d'un nationalisme culturel qui unit les hommes plutôt que les oppose. Cette fierté a par la suite été reprise par de nombreux hommes de lettres comme Jacques Roumain, Nicolás Guillén, Léopold Sédar Senghor ou encore Aimé Césaire." (Wikipédia)

266 pages including index of authors cited. Second printing of 1939 First Edition. "In the first and longest essay Hayek develops his well-known theory of industrial fluctuations beyond the point at which it was left in his Prices and Production. While the central argument of this theory remains the same, it is now restated on somewhat different and more realistic assumptions and in less abstract forms and certain important improvements are introduced. The main advance concerns the relationship between the rate of interest and the rate of profit. The other essays deal with particular problems in the same field such as demand for capital, capital maintenance, the factors governing investment, and the supply of savings. The first essay appears for the first time; the others are collected, and in part translated from various English and foreign journals in which they were originally published." - from dust jacket. Contents clean and unmarked. Light wear to red boards. Slight lean to spine which bears bright gilt lettering.
