73<p><b>ANDRÉE SALOMON.</b> 1854-1897. Swedish scientist and polar explorer who perished in his attempt to reach the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon. ALS. "<i>S.A. Andree</i>". 1p. 4to. Stockholm October 6 1895. To <b>ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON</b>1853-1937 influential editor of <i>The Century</i> magazine. </p><p>"Your letter of the 10 Sept. is received. I would certainly have estimated it agreeable to do with you as the proposed price is acceptable etc. But I am sorry to say that under the present circumstances I have no time at all for anything but necessary work. Besides I may say that I have so many years experience as a scientific man and as a journalist that I can under no circumstances agree to have the payement sic for my articles depending of discretion. I know how to write such matters and in fact I permit no essential alterations in articles signed by me. The letter sent to the American minister at Stockholm has not been forwarded to me. But I think that a letter addressed to my friend Mr. Ekholm has some days ago been forwarded to him by the minister."</p><p>Trained as a mechanical engineer Andrée first became fascinated by ballooning at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. After participating in the Spitsbergen scientific expedition of 1882-1883 led by Swedish meteorologist <b>Nils Ekholm</b>1949-1923 he published numerous articles in scientific journals on such subjects as electricity and heat while working at the Swedish patent office. </p><p>In 1897 funded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences King Oscar II and Alfred Nobel Andrée attempted to pass over the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon with two other Swedish adventurers. Swept up by the nationalist fervor while planning his attempt to fly over the pole Andrée overlooked several key technical points including the warnings of Ekholm who was initially charged with the expedition's meteorological research. Most damaging as Ekholm predicted was the fact that the balloon leaked hydrogen faster than expected precipitating its crash after only two days aloft and leaving the party to escape the Arctic winter on foot. The fate of Andrée's expedition remained a mystery until the 1930 discovery of their camp on the Norwegian Arctic island of Kvitøya.</p><p>Johnson joined <i>The Century</i>magazine one of the most prominent journals of its day in 1873 serving as associate editor from 1881-1909 and heading the magazine from 1909 to 1913. He was also instrumental in the establishment of international copyright protections for which he was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1891 and the cavaliers of the Crown of Italy in 1895. Among his many prominent friends were the eccentric inventor and electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla and naturalist John Muir with whom he helped establish Yosemite National Park in California. </p><p>Written two years before his own doomed balloon ascension.

P5279Moscow: IZOGIZ Agit-massovyi sektor 1932. Octavo 26 Ã 17.5 cm. Original decorative wrappers; 16 pp. of these eight pages are divided horizontally and freely moveable. Light wear to wrappers; lower right corner creased; still about very good. Catalog issued on the occasion of the first exhibition of work by the Kukryniksy art collective an acronym drawing on the names of its three members: Kupriianov Krylov and Nik. Sokolov. The exhibition was initiated by Maxim Gorky who wrote the introductory essay and held at Klub Federatsii Sovetskikh Pisatelei im. Maksima Gor'kogo. The exhibition showcased original drawings sketches and illustrations from journals and papers books political posters and 'lubki' as well as other unique works and illustrations by individual artists. With a caricature of the artists by Aminadav Kanevskii and a brief preface by B. Malkin. Also included is a strikingly designed layout of the exhibition and a brief biography of the artists. Book designer Solomon Telingater 1903-1969 created an innovative structure: the red stripe on the front and rear wrapper is incorporated into the mid-section of the book with eight illustrated leaves horizontally divided with a gap and a propagandistic quote by Mayakovsky visible beneath on the red "banner". Telingater also designed a striking exhibition poster in the form of a triangle. His goal was to transform the book into a maximally functional but also playful medium making use of innovative typography montage as well as other design elements in the constructivist manner. A close friend of El Lissitsky Telingater further developed his colleague's forays into avant-garde book design both in theory and practice. The Kukryniksy were an infamous trio of Soviet caricaturists and artists perhaps best known for their bitingly satirical illustrations of German and other Fascist politicians during WWII. After meeting at VKhUTEMAS in the 1920s the three would work in their customary manner throughout their career producing countless caricatures posters and book illustrations: each member of the group would propose a sketch then all three would elaborate the best one.

2092Paris: N. Matzneff / Editions Orion 1930. ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATED BOOKS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. Illustrated with 35 original etchings with aquatint and drypoint by Edy Legrand. In these prints the artist conjures the exotism dreaminess and voluptuousness of the Song of Songs one of the great love poems in world literature. Edition limited to 110 copies beautifully printed in two colors on fine Montval wove paper all of which have four suites of the etchings 140 etchings in all: the first state without text the second state without text the final state without text and the final state with text. It is extremely unusual that the entire edition of a modern illustrated book would include the illustrations in multiple states but it is easy to see why the publisher adopted that policy in this instance: we can perceive what an incredibly talented and painstaking artist Legrand was as he worked each plate from the original sketch to the finished design. Folio. Loose as issued in original wraps. Housed in a custom-made cloth folding case with extra cloth folders for each of the extra suites. FINE AND BRIGHT with no defects. This book was included in the groundbreaking exhibition of livres d'artiste held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1936 and is illustrated in Monroe Wheeler's catalogue "Modern Painters and Sculptors as Illustrators". VERY RARE. <br/><br/> Paris: N. Matzneff / Editions Orion, 1930 paperback
19281271Leningrad: printed by the author typography of the Academy of Arts 1928. 47 1 pp. 245x18 cm. One of 1200 copies. Original illustrated wrappers. Few tears of the spine otherwise in a very good condition. <br /> First and only edition. The book summarizes the works of Solomon Yudovin 1892-1954 Jewish Belorussian and Soviet artist the distinct representative of 'the Jewish renaissance'. <br /> Solomon Yudovin was no doubt one of the figures who helped to define and picture the face of Jewish art of the first quarter of the 20th century. As a young man he participated in the ethnographic expeditions organized by his uncle Semyon An-Skiy 1863-1920 and the Jewish Historical Ethnographical Society across the Pale of Settlement in Ukraine and Belarus. The goal of these expeditions held in 1912-1914 was to capture the everyday life and culture of the people across the Pale. Yudovin worked as a photographer artist and secretary and as a result had collected a lot of data on the Jewish household items ritual accessories gravestones matzevah synagogue paintings Jewish ornaments etc. These ornaments pictured by Yudovin have influenced all the artists who were working in traditional style at the time like Rybak and Lissitzky and became an important element of Jewish visual culture. He experimented with photos from the expeditions in the method of photo-impressionism but soon has found his main style in woodcuts and linotypes. <br /> Yudovin was active in Vitebsk in the first years after the revolution of 1917 where he collaborated with Marc Chagall. In 1918 he participated in the decoration of the city of Vitebsk for the parade of the first anniversary of October Revolution - the occasion for which Chagall famously did an open call to all the local artists in the newspaper 'Izvestiya Vitebskogo Gubernskogo Soveta' urging them to produce 'big and expressive' posters. Next year Chagall and Yudovin participated in the exhibition of Jewish artists in Vitebsk. In 1941-42 Yudovin created a series of woodcuts picturing Leningrad under siege and the series became one of his best-known works.<br /> This book consists of 49 woodcuts and also includes the list of all the woodcuts and linotypes produced by the artist to the day. printed by the author, typography of the Academy of Arts unknown
