During his stay Lyon was commissioned by the New York State Council of Arts to cover the demolition of a number of landmark buildings including old Penn Station. Lyon's work was notably instrumental in the development of the landmarks preservation movement; "The Destruction of Lower Manhattan is a historical record of a fast disappearing scene and a beautiful portrait of buildings that we will never see again; but in a way it is also a portrait of the people who lived there of empty rooms with children's paintings furniture stairwells walls windows panelings."From the opening blurb.

191452662Los Angeles San Francisco Fresno et al: Chanslor & Lyon Co. 1914. 8vo. 16 pp. Numerous text photo illustrations illustrations. Yellow-printed softcovers black lettering on front cover slight shelfwear rubbing minor dustsoiling VG copy. First edition of this exceedingly rare supplement catalogue for the Ford Model T issued in 1914 by the remarkably successful California Automobile Motor Supply Company founded in 1904 on Main Street in Los Angeles. This California Brass Era auto accessory firm grew rapidly and within a few years was the largest exclusive auto accessories supply firm in the West Coast. The firm specialized in all parts which were NOT standard equipment for the rugged Model T and other auto manufacturers selling speedometers substantially improved magnetos electric head lamps oil lamps improved timers carburetors brake linings shock absorbers mats trunk racks and the very necessary anti-theft device the Universal Ford Crank Lock. Early car theft was a tremendous problem because starting most vehicles only required pushing the car to start compression or jacking up the rear wheels and attaching a portable motor and belt. In 1916 Chanslor & Lyon left the retail field and focused instead on their wholesale operations primarily marketing Lee Tires. The firm would survive for decades until its’ acquisition by the Cardis Corporation of Beverly HIlls CA in 1985. No copies located in Worldcat; See: Chanslor & Lyon Motor Supply Co. Coachbuilt 2014.

Lyon referred to his work as a photographer as 'the existential struggle to be free.'<br /><br />Additional photographs are by Bob Adelman Don Charles Frank Dandridge Roy DeCarava William DuBois James Forman Robert Frank Declan Haun David Heath Matt Herron Jill Krementz Leroy McLucas Norris McNamara Marion Palfi Tony Rollo Enrico Sarsini F.

188157971Tokyo Nishimura Tomijiro Fukuda Eizo Meiji 21 1881. 8vo. In the original cloth binding with printed front board depicting a monkey reading a newspaper. Light wear and soiling to extremities and end papers soiled otherwise in fine condition. 285 pp. 3 plates. <br/><br/><em>The rare first Japanese translation of W. P. Lyon's anti-evolutionary text ' Homo versus Darwin'. It constitutes the very first publication in Japanese to reject Darwin's theory. A year after the publication the book was banned for 'corrupting public morals'.The present work is Lyon's reply to the publication of Darwin's The Descent of Man. Here he sees Darwin being charged by Homo of denying him from being a creature made by a God and declaring man to be merely some kind of animal. The author is recorded as being 'Eisa Gurei' Asa Gray but in 1986 a study confirmed the text to be a translation of Lyon's work.'Saru no Saiban' is an important work in the history of the reception of Darwinism in Japan. Darwin's theories had a profound influence on Japan and Japanese culture but in a slightly different way than in the West: Darwinism was marked as social and political principles primarily embraced by social thinkers philosophers and politicians to advocate the superiority of Japanese culture and society and military and not by biologists and zoologists. "It was as if Darwin's famous oceanic journey and the meticulous research into the animal and plant kingdoms that he spent his life undertaking had all been staged as an elaborate excuse for composing a theory whose true object was Victorian society and the fate of the world's modern nations."

19369012Coos Bay OR: Norma Madge Lyon 1936. 2 bifolium leaves 4 and 3pp each with what appear to be hand colored illustrations on front. Vignettes and musical examples on the interiors. Bright fine copies. <br /> <br /> Two volumes of sight reading exercises for beginning piano students "the illustrative idea being employed to stimulate the child's attention and interest in his work." Of course this idea piggybacked on the immense popularity of the story by Helen Bannerman which had been illustrated by John R. Neill and others in what Langston Hughes called the "pickaninny" style. The noteheads and vignettes in these pieces all display the stereotype. <br /> <br /> Lyon who also released flash cards and staves in this series was a musician composer and children's book illustrator who spent her entire life in Coos Bay Oregon. She illustrated Ida Turney's Paul Bunyan: The Work Giant among others. She lost a finger and thumb in a car accident but continued composing and performing in her seaside studio overcoming her disability. <br /> <br /> <br /> OCLC does not mention this series nor do we find it elsewhere. <br /> <br /> <br /> .
