18025174London: Harding 1802. Aquatint coloured by hand on laid paper watermark '1802' Publication line at foot of plate shaved with slight loss some expertly repaired tears to margins. An anonymous work of quality.<br/> <br/>Unusually the present work does not include either the artist responsible for the original or the engraver who worked on the plate. The publication line is very faint: sometimes an indication of a later issue but the early watermark does not support this. None of the standard reference works include either this print or mention of the horse Sacripant. This suggests that this image is rare and the absence of names allied with the early watermark may indicate some sort of proof issue. Harding unknown books
179425786London: publish'd by Laurie & Whittle 1794. Engraved map on four joined sheets hand coloured in outline. Bowen and Gibson's large scale wall map of North America: a Laurie and Whittle issue published following the Treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolution.<br/> <br/>Bowen and Gibson's map was first issued in about 1755 under the title An Accurate Map of North America. It served as a generally accurate template for showing the enormous political changes that took place in the next forty years. Sometimes known as the Pownall Map of North America because of the significant contribution the former governor of Massachusetts Thomas Pownall made to the geographical knowledge of the northeast this large wall map has great presence and teems with information including numerous Native American placenames in the western areasnative tribal regions notes and routes of early roads and the forts along the Mississippi and to the west of the Appalachians. The two inset maps are of Baffin and Hudson's Bays and the mouth of the Colorado River the latter map based on the explorations of Eusebio Kino. The present map is the fourth version of the title and is an issue which incorporates the changes brought about by the 1783 Treaty of Paris. A notation on the map reads: "The Divisions in this map are coloured according to the preliminaries signed at Versailles sic. January 20th. 1783. The Red indicates the British posessions; the Green those of the United States; the Blue what belongs to the French and the Yellow what belongs to the Spaniards." Also included is Article III from the Treaty that guaranteed fishing rights to the United States in the Grand Banks and other places around New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Previous issues dating to the Revolution had included some of the articles of the 1763 Treaty these have been entirely removed and the cartouche has been reworked among other changes. The present issue has no imprint in the bottom right corner is printed on laid paper and includes the western coast of Newfoundland coloured in red.<br/> <br/>Degrees of Latitude 36; Stevens & Tree "Comparative Cartography" 49k in Tooley The Mapping of America. publish'd by Laurie & Whittle unknown books

47618Various publishers & dates. Extensive photographic archive documenting events on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico Border during the Mexican Revolution focused primarily on the Border Wars in Texas and the Veracruz Incident of 1914 comprised entirely of contemporary images all but a few of which are original vintage prints. The collection includes: <br /> <br /> • Sixty-one commercially-produced real-photo postcards ca. 14cm x 9cm or the reverse; <br /> • Six commercially-printed postcards using non-photographic processes same dimensions;<br /> • Three carte-de-visite portraits ca 9cm x 6cm mounted to cards;<br /> • Eight small-format photographs ranging from 14cm x 8cm to 11cm x 16cm of which three appear to be commercial images; <br /> • Three 8x10 20cm x 25cm photographic prints printed at some later date from original plates but apparently not contemporary; <br /> • One vintage 4x6 10cm x 16cm photograph mounted on board. <br /> <br /> All but a dozen or so images are captioned in the negative and most are additionally captioned in pencil in a later hand on verso. Approximately half the images include no photo credit; of those that do we have identified the following photographers: W.H. Horne D.W. Hoffman Walter P. Hadsell Van Zile & Chalk and L.O. She. <br /> <br /> Condition is generally Very Good. Two of the photo postcards are damaged with abrasions to significant portions of image area; the remainder show various degrees of edge wear aging and creasing but by and large image quality remains excellent. None of the postcards are postally used though a few include brief contemporary notes on verso. The refusal of Mexican President Porfirio Dîaz to cede power to his rival Francisco Madero in the elections of 1910 resulted in a violent large-scale revolt by campesinos and leftists setting off the thirty-year long Mexican Revolution. American involvement in the conflict began in 1911 when President William H. Taft under the guise of heightening border security moved to back Díaz against the rebels. The resulting mobilization - Taft sent more than 20000 American troops nearly a quarter of all American forces to the Mexican border with especially heavy concentrations in Texas and New Mexico - was to that date the largest mobilization of American military forces in peacetime. At the same time many Americans whose sympathies were not aligned with the Díaz dictatorship including anarchists wobblies Native Americans and more than a few soldiers of fortune went south to fight on the side of the rebels. The resulting border conflict which took place over nearly a decade occasionally pitting American insurrectos against American Federal troops resulted in thousands of Mexican and hundreds of American deaths. <br /> <br /> The Border Wars reached their climax around the period 1912-1914 which happened to coincide with a near-hysterical vogue for postcards among the American public. The result is that the Mexican Revolution is perhaps the first major armed conflict to have been extensively photo-documented in real time and certainly the first to have had a significant mass audience for that documentation. At least three hundred commercial photographers have been identified in association with the Mexican Revolution and they produced tens of thousands of images ranging from the relatively innocuous e.g. peaceful street and harbor scenes in Veracruz to the horrific lynchings and sidewalk cremations. <br /> <br /> This entire range of content is represented in the current collection along with portraits of most of the key players on the Mexican side including El Presidente Porfirio Díaz; his primary rival and successor Francisco Madero; Madero's successor by coup Victoriano Huerta; and various military figures including General Juan Navarro Felipe Angeles Ramírez and numerous others. Many of these semi-professional images though produced with commercial intent "professional" remains a guarded term in the context of what was essentially battlefield exploitation photography are valuable for their almost off-hand depictions of violent day-to-day life on the contested border including the casual destruction and acceptance of death from both sides that seemed to define this conflict. Of particular note are numerous of photographs of African-American troops the so-called "Buffalo Soldiers" as well as at least one image depicting Native American soldiers in uniform. Locales represented include Camp Grossmont in California; El Paso and Laredo in Texas and their cross-border sister cities Juarez and Nuevo Laredo; Veracruz site of the American incursion of 1914 known as the "Veracruz Incident"; and various unidentified encampments and battle sites in both Texas and Mexico. <br /> <br /> A wide-ranging and compelling photographic collection documenting not only a key period in U.S. military diplomacy - one which for better or worse set the tone for American-Mexican relations for the succeeding century - but also a tangible manifestation of the first widespread public incarnation in America of the picture-postcard as a vehicle for both propaganda and photojournalism. unknown
18883393San Francisco: Published by Bell & Heymans 1888. First Edition. Very good. Folio 350 x 258 mm. 86 ix 1 pp. including fascinating advertisements. Original wrappers chipped and foxed. Wrappers with two-color lithographs 44 b/w lithographs illustrating the text some extending over 2 pages all by Britton & Rey San Francisco. MAP 53 x 71 cm with some short tears at fold intersections. Recto: "Map of Sonoma County Cal'a sic. Showing Boundary Lines of County and Townships Railroads and Public Roads Cities Towns &c. &c." Published by Bell and Heymans 434 California St. San Francisco Copyrighted May 1888. Lithographer: Cal Label & MacCabe Lith Co. San Francisco. Verso: "Map of Verano Sonoma Valley California." Lithographer: H.S. Crocker & Co. San Francisco. Beautifully illustrated promotional materials for the nascent planned community of Verano Sonomy Valley created by the firm of Britton & Rey in their prime. The folio volume and the accompanying map sheet with color illustrations are rare: this is the only complete copy that has been recorded at auction.<br/><br/>Although more commercial than the Thompson & West local histories the present work has the same type of wonderful documentation with the added cache of ads that enhance the historical value. Following a history of Sonoma County and Russian River Valley are essays on industries agriculture orchards viticulture stock raising lumber minerals natural wonders business opportunities social life etc. These promotional materials were apparently aimed at investors from the East Coast and perhaps beyond; at some point our map was inscribed in French: "Californie" sic. <br/><br/>The remarkable lithographs by Britton & Rey depict scenes views panoramas portraits architecture vineyards orchards etc. some after photographs. Included with our copy is the rare folding lithograph sheet with map of Sonoma County on one side and colored illustrations and map of Verano on other side Hooker Falls orange and olive grove General Vallejo's home Sonoma Creek Verano Park. At that time Verano now known as El Verano was a planned community. The present promotional items were no doubt occasioned when a new train depot was built nearby. <br/><br/>The Bancroft copy as recorded by OskiCat does not contain the map but there is a related map greatly reduced defective and apparently printed on one side only by H.S. Crocker with the same title likewise surveyed by P.R. Davis which measures 26 x 46 cm or about half the size as ours. <br/><br/>Auction comparables: Dorothy Sloan Auction 20 2007 lot 6 this copy purchased after the sale for $1410.

1971143125New York: Filmmakers Newsletter / Filmmakers' Cinematheque 1971. Archive of 41 issues of "Filmmakers Newsletter" dating from the first four years of the magazine including Vol. I issue 1. Early issues of the magazine are scarce and putting together a collection of this size piecemeal would be prohibitively difficult. <br/><br/>Founded in 1967 by experimental filmmaker Carl Linder as "New York Filmmakers' Newsletter" it was originally published out of the Filmmakers Cinematheque and served a similar purpose as Canyon Cinema's "Canyon Cinemanews" disseminating information on screenings festivals and republishing articles and essays about experimental film. Suni Mallow took over as editor in early 1968 and she quickly brought a wider focus to the magazine dropping "New York" from the title and publishing the magazine under its own imprint although it still retained ties to the Cinematheque. This broader approach to the world of avant garde film was successful and when Mallow sold the magazine in 1979 after becoming publisher in 1969 it had one of the highest ad rates per reader in business speaking to "Filmmakers Newsletter's" reach and influence among experimental filmmakers distributors hobbiest critics and fans. <br/><br/>Contributors to the issues in the archive include Jonas Mekas Stan Brakhage Bruce Conner George Maciunas Hollis Frampton Standish Lawder and Alan Lomax while future Academy Award and Cannes animator Bill Plympton was a staff member in 1970. <br/><br/>For more details please inquire. <br/><br/>Issues 8.5 x 11 inches with black and white images and illustrations throughout.
