18964969New York: Bartlett & Company The Orr Press 1896. Octavo 20.5 x 14 cm. 97 pages. Date derived from Water Street address on title page. An extensively illustrated trade catalogue of heating furnaces and cooking ranges. Before the 1830s gravity hot-air furnaces were produced according to the specifications of individual buildings. The first mass-market manufacturer in the United States was Richardson & Boynton established in 1837 and in business for more than a century thereafter. The company survived the competitive surge in home heating manufacturers in the decades after the Civil War Fuller & Warren of Troy for instance also advertised as "the oldest house in the trade" introducing innovations in fuel source efficiency flue design cleaning access and model size – to say nothing of aesthetic appeal – at a surprising rate. The foundries and shop buildings occupied a double block in Red Hook Brooklyn; corporate offices 232-234-236 Water Street were across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. By the 1890s Richardson & Boynton were advertising themselves as manufacturers of multiple designs of furnaces fireplace heaters laundry water heaters cooking ranges stoves and kitchen appurtenances such as kettles urns pastry ovens and steam tables. Owing ostensibly to climbing tunnage and wharfage costs the entire operation decamped to Dover New Jersey in February 1896. Elaborate illustrations with equally elaborate cutaways; specification charts. A bit of chipping to head and foot of wrapper at spine otherwise very good in two-toned brown wrappers with gilt decoration. Pages clean and bright. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of all other Richardson & Boynton cataloguesbut none of this issue; Romaine page 363 for other issues. Bartlett & Company, The Orr Press unknown

Signed by Frey Richardson and Prince. <br/><br/>"JMc & GHB Editions has announced their forthcoming publication James Frey’s Wives Wheels Weapons. Published as a companion volume to Frey’s latest novel Bright Shiny Morning Harper Collins 2008 Wives Wheels Weapons is an artist’s book which excerpts three stories “Wives” “Wheels” and “Weapons” from Frey’s novel and presents them alongside a photo essay response by photographer Terry Richardson. Both writer and photographer are known for their fascination with the seamier side of life so not surprisingly the results of their collaboration are more than a little provocative. <br /> <br />Against the murky backdrop of the city’s one-night stand hotels and pornographic sub-culture “Wives” relates the tale of a sex-driven affair between a congressman’s wife and a high school teacher. The U.S. edition of Bright Shiny Morning will not carry the steamy “Wives” vignette but it will be included in the forthcoming U.K. edition. “Wheels” follows the rise of the car-dominated culture of L.A. the development of the surrounding super highway infrastructure and the emergence of illegal late night car racing introducing us to the mysterious figure of the “racemaster” orchestra or of these illicit nocturnal do-or-die contests. “Weapons” explores the complicated culture of gangs and crime their initiation rites power hierarchies and ruthless strategies as well as describing a genealogical topology of former and current gangs of L.A. <br /> <br />Balancing on a knife-edge of sustainability Frey’s L.A. is an apt symbol of contemporary Western mores and the dilemma of the 21st Century urbanite. Hovering however above the dismaying profane facts of urban existence is the grand spectral romance of citification the dream of civilized streamlined functional mass co-habitation a fallen yet potent ideal. <br /> <br />Photographer Terry Richardson’s spirited images discover this idealism in a typically bold and colorful style. The mood is defiant the sitters resilient and self-assertive. Here the “Wives” and mothers – a selection of women that might be lewdly characterized by the acronym MILFs – show an insistence on the sexual self amidst the routines of domesticity an assertive response to the annihilating mores of impersonal social decorum. Richardson’s “Wheels” documents the exuberant culture of automobile customization in contrast to the grim tedium of what most urban travel essentially demands. “Weapons” while documenting styles and postures of gang members invokes the dream of personal empowerment and the ideals of success born out of the ghettoes of desperation and failure." from copyleft.com JMc & GHB Editions hardcover books
200831792New York: JMc & GHB Editions 2008. Brown linen boards in photo-illustrated jacket; housed in publisher's slipcase. As new. First Edition. Quarto. One of 100 hardcover copies SIGNED by all three participants to title page: Prince Richardson and Frey. Hand-numbered as 20/100 to colophon. This artist's book consists of three vignettes from Frey's novel Bright Shiny Morning. The stories are illustrated by Terry Richardson's photographs of Los Angeles with a tipped-in image announcing each section. One of the vignettes Wives was too racy for the American edition; Richardson has illustrated it with humorous images of breastfeeding MILFs brandishing rifles holding trophies and bent over in hot tubs but it's his aerial black and white shots of the Los Angeles freeway system that turn this cool collaboration into a finely honed and executed photobook.

Richardson Spooner Wis." and one has a later annotation on the reverse "Shell Lake Lumber / Spooner Wisconsin."

The photographs show: <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Seven lumberjacks posed on a small dock with an axe adze and two-man crosscut saw <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Five lumberjacks resting on a large log in front of what appears to be a very large hoist or crane <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Two lumberjacks posing in front of a 15-foot high log pile taking a break from stripping bark and <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">Two lumberjacks posing with a two-horse team in a snowy clearing. <p>L. L. Richardson was a Walworth County photographer who worked from a shop in Spooner between 1905 and 1906. <br /><br />Shell Lake Lumber was the largest lumbering company in the region during the early 1900s. The rivers and streams in this area of Wisconsin were not suitable for transporting logs so the area's forests remained virtually untouched until the arrival of the railroad in 1880 after which a large sawmill was built. The company operated a number of mobile logging camps throughout the region that moved from place to place to harvest new stands of timber. The yellow pine harvested by Shell Lake was highly prized and commanded a significant premium for its superior girth height and exceptionally straight and clear bodies. <br /><br /> books
