VG. light rubbing & creasing to corners. back cover scuffed. lower textblock shelf-worn & lightly stained; does not appear to affect pgs. blue & red wraps w/ illustration & white printing. book xiv 377 pgs w/ 10 plates of illustrations. Text in German. The thermal baths as a building type spread very early in the provinces of the Roman Empire and were available not only to the Roman population but also to the local population. Magnificent thermal baths here had the task of promoting the power of the Roman Empire and the associated urban standard of living. When building a thermal bath architecture technology and decor should make meaningful reference to each other in the planning and execution of the building and should be coordinated accordingly. In addition to simple standardization however many thermal baths show obvious deviations in terms of architecture and technology as well as decorative equipment; the latter occupies the most important place in this work. The intention of the client - whether a private individual a community or the ruler himself - was to design the 'raw type of bathroom in such a way that later a uniform and harmonious whole was obtained. Mosaics could be used very differently in thermal baths. They were laid on the floor adorned bathing pools and piscines and found their place - albeit less often - on walls and ceilings or vaults. They primarily fulfill a practical function namely by covering the surface with a waterproof and decorative layer of jewelry. In addition they should also please the eye of the beholder with their decorative image. One encounters both monochrome and bichrome mosaics as well as polychrome tesselates or mosaics with beautiful ornamentation or figurative decor.--translated from Amazon.

1978017126Paris France: No publisher 1978. Book. Near fine condition. Unbound. Signed by Authors. First Edition. Quarto 4to. A hand letterpress book with original text and a facsimile-style printing of the text of the 5th Sonnet of an early French edition of Petrarch. The third line of this sonnet reads "Le laurier digne." which has been printed to read "Le LAUrier digne. and has been combined in the same fashion with line 7 "Votre noble REgard." to offer an apparent omage to LAURE. Most pages of text face a color etchings by an artist identified as Signore Fiorini; there are a total of 12 etchings. Each sheet measures 11.5" x 15.5" 29cm x 39cm and is folded in half forming 4 pages. There are nine such sheets 36 pages enclosed in a decorated paper portfolio and protected in a linen-covered clamshell box with "L" printed on the spine. Each etching is protected by glassine. Hand-numbered 12 of 50 copies signed by Simone' Piccone and Fiorini. The colophon reads "Cette edition des vers de PETRARQUE dedies a Laure Bissiere est la seule connue a ce jour. Elle comprend 50 exemplaires imprimes sur Auvergne a la main de Richard de Bas par l'artiste lue-meme; soit un exemplaire numerote 1 a Laure quatre exemplaires numerotes HC II a HC V; quarante cinq exemplaires numerotes 6 a 50." The condition is excellent with a few sheets with tiny spots of foxing probably inherent in the manufacture by Richard de Bas. The title page contains the phrase "Sic Itur Ad Astra Hic Et Nunc Plus Ultra." Another sheet reads "Acheve d'imprimer a Paris le 15 Mai 1978." Very little about this unusual publication can be found by research except that Laure Bissiere may be also knows as Madame Laure Loutre Bissiere. The artwork of Roger Bissiere 1886-1964 and B. Louttre 1926-2012 sold at Post War and Contemporary Art auctions has been accompanied by a certificate from Madame Laure Loutre Bissiere. An interesting and beautifully made book.
