As the official portraitist of the Metropolitan Opera from 1908 until 1932 he became the foremost portrayer of Golden Age opera singers. While photographing opera stars for the Metropolitan he maintained a portrait studio frequented by many of the most significant performing artists of the day.<br/><br/>"In certain respects he had the most difficult task of any theatrical photographer of the early 20th century for he was constantly having to temper the hyperbolically dramatic poses that opera singers employed on the vast stages of Europe and America so that they didn't appear ludicrous shot from a twelve-foot distance. His subjects were among the least tractable persons to instruction in the performing arts and were generally infected with decorative sensibilities. That Mishkin was able to satisfy his sitters and adjust to the increasingly less ornamental aesthetic of modern photography was a testament to his tact and flexibility."

The Count d'Artois friend to Marie Antoinette and lover of the arts sought to stimulate a renewal in fiction with the printing of this collection of novels in 35 titles. The overall collection of 64 volumes was printed from 1781 to 1784 and edited by the order of Louis XVI. Just two years later the French monarchy would be in crisis; bankrupt and facing various political upheavals in the years leading up to the Revolution. This surviving set dates from the time of relative peace before upheaval and before the Count later reigned as Charles X in the post-Revolution era in 1824. These survive as early relics of the French monarch's cultural interests and endeavors. François-Ambroise Didot printed no more than 100 copies as a whole impression; 60 with the arms of the prince and at least 40 were on common paper without the Count’s heraldry as in these while others were produced on vellum See Ebert 4938. These works are extremely neatly printed on laid paper and stand as a precursor to Didot’s prolific typographic and printing career. Complete copies of the Count d’Artois’s collection are of utmost rarity; these portative sixteen make up an excellent union.

Decorative paper covered boards; some minor soiling or staining joint repaired on title verso lacking first and last blanks otherwise complete and in good form with good wide margins. <br/><br/>Collection of poetic essays in song of Sister Maria Theresa Crocefissa 1645-1699 an Augustinian nun from Venice known for her long orations printed by the Remondini press. In the 16th century Venice was the marketplace of the world. Its location on the lagoon and its unique connections with the sea distinguished it as a cosmopolitan center among the great cities of the Renaissance. In this larger context commerce and trade played a central role in the development and achievements of music printing. The subject of this work is poems written as canzones and sonettoes or songs and little songs of Sister Maria Crocefissa. From an early age Maria Crocefissa was devoted to long poetic orations. Soon she was also engaged in self-punitive actions including wearing a hairshirt. At the age of 23 she experienced her first religious ecstasies. During these periods of trance some lasting well over a week she regressed into a childlike state that left her completely paralyzed. The presence of Maria Crocefissa in her Augustinian convent of San Girolamo brought about a series of supernatural episodes and mysterious sightings which interested the public. While she was still alive her papers were widely published. This particular title of her poems addressed to Girolama Gaudio is of utmost rarity not located in a contemporary library collection or market worldwide. From the Remondini press who by the second half of the 18th century were employing more than a thousand people in the Bassano del Grappa with hundreds of others busy in their local paper mills and selling their products in scores of countries making them perhaps the biggest publishers in Europe. Between 1751 and 1790 Remondini were granted more licenses for books than all the other Venice booksellers put together. Printed matter was a luxury and the Remondini press was known to employ refined typographical features to suit the tastes of buyers. In this work attention is paid to the decorative elements initials and layout of each page. Remondini hardcover books
