1883453251883. <p>Huxley Thomas Henry 1825-95. Etched portrait mounted by Leopold Flameng after the 1883 portrait by John Collier 1850-1934 signed in the plate by Huxley. London: The Fine Art Society 1 January 1885. 583 x 423 mm.; mount measures 604 x 440. Scattered foxing small tear in lower margin not affecting image but very good. Small embossed stamp in lower right corner.</p> <p> From the portrait of Huxley painted in 1883 by his son-in-law pre-Raphaelite painter John Collier. This version of the print is very scarce; this is the first copy we have seen or handled in over 50 years. Based on the large brow ridges shown on the skull that Huxley is holding in the portrait it is probable that Huxley is holding a Neanderthal skull the significance of which Huxley originally publicized in his Man's Place in Nature 1863. Collier was married to two of Huxley's daughters: First to Marian Mady a talented painter in her own right; and after Mady's death to her younger sister Ethel. The original of Collier's portrait now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. </p> . unknown books

192723615New York: George H. Doran Company. Good. c.1927. 2nd printing "B". Hardcover. no dust jacket moderately worn but sound copy bottom corners bumped tiny tear in cloth at top of spine. 28 essays on divers topics such as: "In a Tunisian Oasis"; "Tibet"; "Modern Folk Poetry"; "Edward Lear"; "Sir Christopher Wren"; "The Importance of Being Nordic"; "Chaucer"; "Popular Music" he liked ; and "Sincerity in Art." My personal favorite not that I'm going to claim to have read them all is "Where Are the Movies Moving" in which he sings the praises of his "favorite dramatic hero Felix the Cat" a careful study of whom he asserts "would teach the Germans some valuable lessons." And probably the rest of us too. . George H. Doran Company hardcover books
