CNWT01Berkeley: Elysian Editions Wesley B. Tanner 1985. First and Limited Edition. Folio in a case. Fine. Mitchell Margaretta K. The printer's proof from an edition of fifty copies seven text pages and twelve photogravures all housed in a clamshell case. This an homage to Angela Isadora Duncan 1877-1927 and the incredible effect she had on modern dance which she initiated at the turn of the last century. <br /> <br /> She "emphasized the dynamics and rhythm of movement invoked the Greeks and refused to perform anywhere but in the sanctified halls of the opera house and concert stage. Duncan avoided all links with dance as it had been known in the nineteenth century - a 'leg business' that was titillating and low class. She remains a key figure in the history of American modern dance primarily because she established dance as a legitimate artistic practice" n.b. info and quote from the online Dictionary of American Biograpy. <br /> <br /> A native of San Francisco she spent much of her adult life in Europe and Russia. However her influence was deeply felt in the San Francisco Bay Area; an admirer and childhood friend of hers Florence Treadwell Boynton and her husband built a home in Berkeley designed by Bernard Maybeck which was named the "Temple of Wings". It was there that Florence created a dance school that adhered to her own beliefs regarding raising children with these beliefs integrated with the dance style of Duncan. Annual summer dance events were held at the Temple of Wings from 1914 through 1985 and it is this style of dance which is celebrated in this photographic portfolio. <br /> <br /> With photographs by Margaretta K. Mitchell b. 1935 whose "photographs belong to the Pictorialist tradition addressing formal concerns of line and shadow primarily in black and white" n.b. from Wiki. Her style shows in the twelve gravure plates in this work which bring to life the interpretation by Duncan and Boynton of the ancient Greek-style of dance. <br /> <br /> Issued in an edition of fifty copies plus nine copies reserved for the participants in the project this the printer's proof copy which we acquired directly from him.

Wagner-Camp 122b. <br /> <br /> This is Mitchell's third map of Oregon the first being "Oregon and California" published in Mitchell's ;School and Family Geography; and the second being "Mexico and Guatemala" which includes Upper or New California New Mexico and Texas." Wheat Mapping The Transmississippi West 520. Carl Wheat described it as: ".a work of real importance highly popular and.on it the influence of the War wioth Mexico is strikingly revealed.It was among the first by a commercial cartographer to utilize the recent explorations that had bounded and determined the nature of the Great Basin. The Texas claim to a western boundary up the Rio Grande is here shown with the northern panhandle extending all the way to the 42nd parallel.Because of its popularity this map of the West exerted great influence not only on the public but on other commercial cartographers." "The region covered by the map was of particular interest in 1846 because of two recent and related events. In 1845 Texas was admitted into the Union which prompted Mexico to invade Texas in 1846 thus precipitating the U.S.-Mexican war. General curiosity about the new State of Texas and interest in the war with Mexico led to Mitchell's timely map becoming quite popular. Mitchell used the latest and best sources for the map including Arrowsmith's 1841 map of Texas Fremont's and Emory's maps of their explorations in the region data from the Lewis & Clark expedition Nicollet's map of the region between the Mississippi River and the Missouri River Wilkes map of Oregon. <br /> <br /> Among other significant uses of the map Brigham Young ordered 6 copies of the map and an example in the BYU collection includes an annotation placing the Mormons in Utah pre-dating Fremont's map of 1848 which is the first printed map noting the presence of the Mormons in the Great Basin. <br /> <br /> The map shows Texas's claims to the Upper Rio Grande in present-day New Mexico -- eventually given up as part of the Great Compromise of 1850 in exchange for the U.S. Federal Government's assumption of Texas's public debt. One of the most influential maps in Western American History." from Stanford University Library. S. Augustus Mitchell unknown
