1912282154New York: William Salomon 1912. First Edition. Very Good binding. The only book of photos by forgotten New York photographer Lillian Baynes Griffin who was featured in Harper's Weekly the New York Press New York Times Vanity Fair and Vogue and famously convinced royalty and plutocrats to pose for her alone. Trained at the New York Institute for Artist Artisans Griffin ventured into photography despite what she referred to as the 'little opportunity' for women in the trade. This tome contains 56 photos by Griffin detailing Salomon's home at 1020 Fifth Avenue. Originally the home of Richard Arnold it was purchased around 1900 by Salomon who was Chairman of the Board of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Salomon spent many years creating essentially a new and more impressive home buying two adjacent lots and greatly expanding what was already by the standards of most a mansion. Half-bound in Japan Vellum over paper-covered boards. This copy has a discreetly replaced spine in Japanese tissue. It is mildly ex-library with a few small marks to the preliminary pages. There are no marks at all to the 56 photogravure plates. Very Good binding. [William Salomon] unknown books

Laid into quarter green morocco cloth sides folding box 23 cm. Occasional early ink marginalia. RARE: no record of copies found on market. First edition one of two known issues. VERY RARE & EARLY ACCOUNT ON PERSPIRATION CRYING & BLOOD. A classical account on perspiration crying and blood all fluids. O'Malley writes for the DSB "such then curious but rational problems as why boys ought not to be forbidden to cry why sobbing usually accompanies weeping" -- apparently referring to this work. Thorndike who notes the author's work on the classical writers Galen and Rasis notes further that he was not a physician who ascribed to the occult sciences: "he also discussed such questions as why boys should not be forbidden to cry why sobbing generally goes with tears. . ." p. 230. The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek copy has an added 2 leaves marked as signature "-2" which is a preface by Paulo Alberto Paulus Albertus not available in this copy but supplied in facs. The text refers to bloody sweat noted by Stolberg "Modern medicine acknowledges such phenomenona as 'hematidrosis' but premodern accounts of bloody sweating may well have to be taken in a much wider sense including what physicians today would consider as bleeding disorders." -- Michael Stolberg "Sweat. Learned Concepts and Popular Perceptions 1500-1800" within: Manfred Horstmanshoff Helen King & Claus Zittel editors Blood Sweat and Tears: The Changing Concepts of Physiology from Antiquity into Early Modern Europe Brill 2012 p. 509. Alberti born in 1540 Naumburg Germany a year later his father died. He and his mother relocated to Nuremberg 1541. Remarkably the city paid for Alberti's education including his doctoral studies at the University of Wittenberg 1574 rising to become Professor of Philosophy and Physics in Wittenberg then Professor of Medicine and in 1582 becoming physician to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxony. He last residence was in Dresden where he passed away. He wrote tracts on the pancreas 1578 on the lacrimal apparatus De Lacrimis 1581. In 1585 he published Historia plerarunque partium humani corporis membratim scripta et in usum tyronum retractatius edita Vitaebergae excudebant Haeredes Iohannis Cratonis. ". . . some years later the German anatomist Salomon Alberti 1540–1600 published his studies of the lacrimal apparatus in a volume entitled De Lacrimis." "Initially tears were considered to be more or less similar in composition to other body fluids in particular sweat and urine." -- Ad Vingerhoets Why Only Humans Weep: Unravelling the Mysteries of Tears 2013 pp. 51 but does not mention this text. -- DSB.

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.
