1864WRCAM54026Richmond: Ayres & Wade 1864. Forty-four issues of 110 most 8pp. each. Folio. Old fold lines and light wear. Separations along gutter vertical folds. Some light tanning and soiling scattered foxing and wear. Some issues lightly dampstained. Many issues trimmed at gutter margin creating loose sheets. Still very good overall. THE SOUTHERN ILLUSTRATED NEWS was the Civil War South's answer to northern publications such as HARPER'S WEEKLY. A pictorial paper it printed portraits and biographies of important military leaders political cartoons mocking President Lincoln and other northern figures as well as literary tidbits. The paper ran from Sept. 13 1862 to Feb. 4 1865 and was published weekly. Through 1863 issues were eight pages in length but into 1864 issues were more often four pages or sometimes skipped entirely and only published every other week. <br> <br> The quality of the publication and its illustration were rather crude by comparison with the North's offerings. The publishers advertised several times for expert engravers but never seem to have found any to take up the job. Nevertheless each issue contains cartoons and portraits of famous generals and officers along with literary works a few advertisements theatre and literature critiques and the news of the day though often several days behind. The back page of each issue advertises literary works now available or recently off the press maps of the war and different plays and shows coming up. One cartoon shows a downcast President Lincoln as Julius Caesar with a black Brutus; another shows the pleasant conditions for Union soldiers at Belle Isle Confederate Prison as opposed to the isolation and unhappiness of Confederate soldiers imprisoned in Ohio. Still a further illustration shows a dead man sprawled across a coffin captioned: "The Fate of a Deserter." The NEWS not surprisingly published with a pro-southern bias even to the point of declaring the Battle of Gettysburg to be a great Confederate victory. <br> <br> Publication only became more difficult as the months passed. Legend has it that in 1864 several issues were printed with shoe polish rather than proper printing ink due to shortages not borne out by an examination of existing copies. Paper was also in short supply resulting in shortened or skipped issues. By 1865 with the Union Army occupying major southern cities and marching further into the heart of the Confederacy the paper's circulation plummeted and distribution outside of Richmond became next to impossible. Richmond fell to the Union on April 2 1865 which is when the periodical effectively ceased. <br> <br> This excellent run consists of issues spanning from Sept. 20 1862 No. 1:6 through March 5 1864 No. 3:9. The NEWS published forty-two issues in its first volume Sept. 13 1862 to June 27 1863 twenty-five in its second volume June 27 1863 to Dec. 26 1863 and thirty-eight issues in its third Jan. 2 1864 to Dec. 24 1864. There is some confusion about how many issues appeared in 1865. Some sources record the paper running until September 1865 though that is almost certainly wrong; others say the end of March. The Library of Congress website devoted to historical newspapers "Chronicling America" indicates an end date of Sept. 3 1865 but gives the final issue as Volume 4 issue 5 which was published on Feb. 4 1865. Emory University holds a 4:5 dated Feb. 4 1865 the latest we can find listed anywhere and thus probably the actual end of the publication. Assuming this is correct the present run contains forty-four of one hundred ten issues. <br> <br> Issues are rare and representative runs even more so. A wonderful resource for Civil War history.

Die seltene erste Ausgabe mit 100 Illustrationen von Romeyn de Hooghe, teils gestochen von L. Scherm und Jan van Vianen. Die hundert Novellen erfreuten sich sofort bei Erscheinen außerordlicher Beliebtheit. Zu diesem Erfolg haben nicht unwesentlich die 100 galanten Kupfertafeln von Romeyn de Hooghe in ihrer bestechenden Schönheit beigetragen. Erstmals 1486 erschien eine Novellensammlung, einst Antoine de la Sale wie auch Ludwig XI zugeschrieben. Fünfzehn Novellen sind aus Poggio und vier aus Boccaccio übernommen. Der Verfasser benützt auch die alten Fabliaux, die er natürlich frisch in seine Zeit stellt und mit einer bunten Gesellschaft von lüsternen Mönchen, galanten Kavalieren, gehörnten Gatten und lebensfrohen Weibern ausstattet. Ein Verleger oder Drucker Pierre Gaillard ist weder in den Niederlanden noch in Deutschland nachweisbar. Der Druckort Cologne ist fingiert, das Werk entstand in Amsterdam. Sehr schönes Exemplar in prachtvollen Einbänden von Zaehnsdorf. - Sander 309. - Cohen 658-59. -

197143266Düsseldorf.: Mediacontact. 1971 - 1973. Original printed wrappers each signed or stamped by the contributing artists loose in publisher's grey card portfolio with printed lavbel to front cover with details of issues later protective white card box label to front cover reproducing cover of 'Art Information 1'. 11 issues. 4to. 300 x 210 mm. The complete series of both of Dietmar Kirves' art / media analyses with additional related manuscript material.'Information from artists and artists’ groups in whose working fields a consciousness-building concept is discernible.' It was with this short sentence that publisher / artist Dietmar Kirves – also known to many as a German member of the 'NO!art' movement – characterised his two publication series 'art information' and 'media news'. With the two series Kirves' aim was to create a platform for making information on contemporary art accessible to a broad public inexpensively and thus to encourage a creative dialog with the public.In the period from 1970 to 1973 Kirves asked artists belonging to various art movements – generally of an anti-art-establishment nature – to submit momentary takes on their working processes as well as examples of their work. In the 'art information' series editions by Joseph Beuys Michael Buthe Terry Fox Jochen Gerz Joel Glassman Anatol Herzfeld Jean Le Gac and Sarkis Zabunyan appeared. Hansjürgen Bulkowski Christine Franz Florian Schneider-Esleben Timm Schröder Landfried Schröpfer and Fritz Schwegler contributed to the series 'media news' 1970 – 1971.Whereas 'art information' concentrated primarily on the presentation of artists’ and artist groups’ work results and projects 'media news' brought up a wide range of socially relevant topics relating to such areas as communication motivation and psychology up for discussion. In editions of up to two hundred copies the publications were circulated by Kirves's Düsseldorf based publishing house 'mediacontact' in Germany France and America.The complete set of issues runs as follows:Art information :1.

18295523<p><strong>Including a mystification attributed to Benjamin Franklin</strong></p><p>This collected edition of stories includes Russian translations of <strong>Washington Irving</strong>'s novella '<em>The Haunted House</em>' from his book '<em>Bracebridge Hall</em>' Libman #2709 and an essay titled '<em>Journey to Ermenonville</em>' attributed to <strong>Benjamin Franklin</strong>. However the latter is most likely a mystification — a pseudonymous work falsely attributed to Franklin. It is possible that a Russian author used Franklin's name to lend the piece greater authority or intrigue.<br />This conclusion is supported by the content of the essay which describes a visit to the tomb of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. While it is historically accurate that Franklin served as the United States Minister to France from 1776 to 1785 and could have visited Rousseau's tomb Rousseau died in 1778 the text reveals that the travelers were informed during their visit that Rousseau's body was no longer there. In fact Rousseau's remains were transferred to the Panthéon on October 11 1794 — four years after Franklin's death in 1790. This chronological inconsistency strongly suggests that the essay could not have been written by Franklin himself.<br />'<em>Povesti i Literaturnye Otryvki</em>' was published by Nikolai Polevoi a renowned Russian editor writer translator and historian in six parts. Each of the first four parts includes a novella by Washington Irving.</p><p>We couldn't trace any copy in OCLC.</p> Universitetskaia tipografiia hardcover
