L'ouvrage réunit cinquante-neuf reproductions en collotype de gravures sur bois réalisées par plusieurs figures majeures de l'école russe et soviétique de la gravure des années 1920-1930, parmi lesquelles Vladimir Favorsky, Dmitri Mitrokhin, Alexei Kravchenko et Pavel Pavlinov. Accompagné d'une traduction abrégée par Chen Jie d'un essai de l'historien de l'art soviétique A. D. Chegodaev, ainsi que d'une préface, d'un catalogue des planches et d'une postface, le volume fut conçu comme une introduction à l'estampe contemporaine soviétique pour le public chinois. Témoignage remarquable des échanges artistiques sino-soviétiques dans le Shanghai républicain des années 1930, il s'inscrit dans le contexte du mouvement de la Nouvelle Gravure (新興木刻運動), alors en plein essor sous l'influence des milieux intellectuels de gauche et des réseaux culturels gravitant autour de la librairie Uchiyama et de la figure de Lu Xun.

ABOUT: Rare anthology devoted to modern Soviet wood engraving and printmaking, published in Shanghai by Sanjian Shuwu and distributed through Uchiyama Bookstore (內山書店). The volume gathers fifty-nine collotype reproductions of woodcuts by several leading figures of the Russian and Soviet printmaking revival of the 1920s and 1930s, including Vladimir Favorsky, Dmitri Mitrokhin, Alexei Kravchenko and Pavel Pavlinov. Accompanied by Chen Jie's abridged translation of an essay by Soviet art historian A. D. Chegodaev, as well as a preface, plate catalogue and postface, the work was conceived as an introduction to contemporary Soviet printmaking for Chinese readers. A remarkable testimony to Sino-Soviet artistic exchanges in Republican-era Shanghai, it belongs to the context of the New Woodcut Movement (新興木刻運動), then flourishing under the influence of left-wing intellectual circles and cultural networks associated with Uchiyama Bookstore and the figure of Lu Xun. The reproductions were assembled from Soviet books, periodicals and documentary sources discovered in the early 1930s, notably through the journal Graphika. /// 中文：三閒書屋出版 — 《引玉集：木刻五十九幅》 — 1935年4月再版 — 32開（19.5 × 15.5厘米）精裝本，黑色書脊，封面貼書名籤 — 68頁 — 收錄蘇聯木刻作品59幅，以珂羅版工藝依據藝術家提供之原拓本複製印製 — 附陳節摘譯 A.

17590009049MANSFIELD WINDHAM COUNTY CONNECTICUT COLONY 1759. On offer is an extraordinary historical document of pre-Independence America and the French and Indian War which pitted the colonies of British America against those of New France with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries and American Indian allies. The document in question is two and a half pages dated 1759 concerning the legal case of a man named Jesse Dimmick of Mansfield Windham County Connecticut a member of the 10th Company Connecticut Militia who refused to accompany the combined Expedition of British Regular and American Militia for the purpose of invading Canada during the French and Indian War. The letter is sent from attorney to our Svrn Lord the King for sd Country named Jedediah Elderkin to Samuel Gray Esq. one of his majestys justices for ye peace for Windham County Conn. The letter begins with some background to the desertion General Assembly of ye Coloney of Connecticut at their Sessions held in New Haven in March last did resolve and order to Raise five thousand troops in sd Colony to Joyne his majestys Regular troops in North America & in junction with them to invade Canada and Carry war into the hart of the Enemies Country in pursuance to his majestys orders and Instructions.Col. Dyar having recd sd orders did then immediately grant his proper warrant under his hand to Joseph Stors of Mansfield Capt of the 10th military Companey in sd 5th Regiment him ordering to Impress or Detach of the Soldiers under his command or those that ware with in the Limits of sd Companey to able bodied effective men to go in sd expedition. The letter than discusses the case of Mr. Dimmick. .but sd Jesse Dimmick not regarding the Laws and Constitution of sd Coloney to sd detachment & order did neglect and refuse to joyne sd company under sd Major Glass or in any wise to go in sd expedition which neglect and refusal of sd Dimmick is against the peace of ye King his crown & dignity and contrary to the Laws of this Coloney in such case made & provided given under my hand in Windham County February 27th day anno domine 1759 & in the 32 year of his majestys raign Jedediah Elderkin The next page contain more details of the case. .you are hereby Commanded forthwith to arrest sd body of the with named Jesse Dimmick and him have forth with before Amon Babcock Esq one of his majestys justices of sd peace for sd County of Windham. this part is dated March 29th 1759 by Samuel Gray Justice of sd peace. The last part of the document dated the 17th day of April 1759 concerns the trail of Mr. Dimmick who has been arrested and brought before the justice of the peace where Dimmick pleads not guilty to the charges against him. Dimmick appeard in sundry Guidances all which were thoroughly examinned by this court & Dimmick way heard in his defense & this court having examined sd J. Dimmick & sd guidances summoned their in of sd openion that their in cours of action.that Dimmick becom bound with loyalty in a recognized bond to sd ___ of sd County of Windham of twenty pounds lawful money. This is signed the above is & with in are true copys of Record as in life. Amos Babcock justice of sd Peace. The very last page contains a list of costs associated in pounds shillings and pence Costs abound to Mr. Nebon £1-6-0; Court fees £0-2-0; the total cost of the trail for Dimmick appears to be £2 1 shilling and six pence before his court appointed penalty of 20 pounds for refusing to join the service. The document is in folio format measuring 13 x 8 inches dated 1759 in very good clean and legible condition. The script can at times be difficult to decipher due to the dated language and spelling of the era but rewards a close look both the for the interesting facts of the case as well as the wider military and historical significance of these report in the decades prior to American Independence when it was still a British colony. There is no description of why Dimmick chooses not to join the militia but it could be because of a belief in an independent America. This could be why he pleads not guilty to charges he is clearly guilty of. Background: The French and Indian War 175463 comprised the North American theater of the worldwide Seven Years' War of 175463. The war pitted the colonies of British America against those of New France with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France as well as by American Indian allies. Jesse Dimmick was born between 1725 and 1726 and died on the 10th of January 1771. He married Rachel Kidder on May 19 1751 in Dudley Massachusetts. Jedediah Elderkin was born in Norwich Connecticut in 1717. Col. Elderkin and Col. Dyer were the leading lawyers in Eastern Connecticut. Jedidiah Elderkin was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1756 and chosen a member of the General Assembly from Windham in the spring of 1751 and repeatedly afterwards until 1785. In March 1775 Jedidiah Elderkin Esq. was commissioned a Colonel of the Fifth Regiment of the Connecticut Militia. Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Manuscript. unknown

4to (255 x 220 mm), [120]pp., interleaved with blank pages, cont. quarter calf, marbled boards, vellum tips, upper joint cracked, spine rubbed but still a very good copy. The Bamburghe Castle Library was collected by three generations of the Sharp family, beginning with John Sharp, Archbishop of York (1644-1714), who had been collecting books from about 1660. The Sharp family were also successively Trustees of Lord Crewe's Charity and curates of Bamburgh. Nathaniel, Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham, had purchased Bamburgh Castle in the early eighteenth century. One of the result of the bequests made by Lord Crewe was the purchase in 1779 of the library of Thomas Sharp (1725-72) to form the nucleus of a library for the use of the alternating resident Trustees. This rare first catalogue of the library at Bamburgh Castle was prompted by the gift of the library of John Sharp (1723-92) Archdeacon and Prebenary of Durham which was added to the collections formed by his brother Thomas and earlier members of the family. The bequest was made on the understanding that the library was to remain at Bamburgh Castle. Indeed, it remained there until 1958, when it was deposited with the university library in Durham.
