The original individual volumes. Each volume usually consists of: at least a 26 page text; frequently enhanced with woodcut devices and ornaments (many designed by Samuel Warner), and portraits and plates; and often with ads for the products of the Roycroft Shop (furniture, brass, books, bindings, etc.); as well as some commercial ads (like Pears' Soap). Some printing in red and black. 8vo. 15.5 x 20. 5 cm. Uncut. Sewn into original printed wraps, as issued. Fine condition. Hubbard (1856-1915), was a prolific writer and a tireless entrepreneur who is most famous today as the founder and guiding lig h t of the Roycroft printing and craft shops. These were based on the Hammersmith arts and crafts complex of William Morris, but with many American and Hubbard-ian twists and turns. Until his death on t he S.S. Lusitania, he was one of the most dynamic and famous men in the world. On his first trip abroad his letters home were mostly travelogue, and they became the basis for his first magazine eff ort . He sold Putnam's the idea of putting out a brief 'Little Journey' biographical sketch on a monthly basis. Later, when he established his own print shop, he took over the whole project. He also p rint ed and published two national opinion magazines, the 'Fra' and the 'Philistine'. He was also responsible for the famed 'A Message to Garcia'. "The graveyards are full of people the World could no t do without" -- Elbert Hubbard, 'Epigrams' (1911)

Sehr gutes Ex. - Mit farb. illustr. Einband. - Bildwirkereien aus der Textilsammlung des Museums für Byzantinische Kunst der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin bilden die Inspirationsquelle für die neue Serie monumentaler Malereien der New Yorker Künstlerin Gail Rothschild. Der Mythos der webenden Penelope aus Homers Odyssee regte sie dazu an, sich mit antiken Textilien zu beschäftigen. Minutiös erfasst sie die Prozesse des Webens und Entwebens. Ihre Werke erinnern an Vanitasgemälde. Die bunten Wirkereien aus dem spätantiken Ägypten, die zur Zeit ihrer Entdeckung um 1900 viele bedeutende Kunstschaffende, Theaterleute und Couturiers faszinierten, überführt Gail Rothschild mit ihren monumentalen Bildern in das 21. Jahrhundert. Auf den ersten Blick schauen sie aus wie einfache Kopien, dabei sind sie ganz eigenständige Kunstwerke mit einer eigenen Dynamik und Ausstrahlung. In der Gegenüberstellung mit den originalen Textilien entsteht ein beeindruckendes Wechselspiel zwischen vergangener Kultur und zeitgenössischem Kunstschaffen. … (Verlagstext) / INHALT : Vorwort - Essays - Bernhard Palme - Byzantinisches und früharabisches - Ägypten - Ines Bogensperger und - Regina Hofmann-de Keijzer - Gail Rothschild und das Rot der Schildlaus - Farbe und Färben in der Antike - Kathrin Mälck - Von der Reparatur bis zur Restaurierung - Zur Erhaltung der spätantiken Textilfunde - Cäcilia Fluck - Entdeckung und künstlerische Rezeption - spätantiker Textilien aus Ägypten - Peter Bichler - Faszination Textil - Vom Sehen und Sammeln - Thelma K.

354 pages. pages. Index. Black and white plates. Multi-panel fold-out family tree at back. "Light is thrown from a fresh angle on Disraeli and his erratic wife, as well as on Thackeray, all three friends of the family. There are glimpses of Louis Napoleon and the disturbances of 1848 and of 1870, of the Austrian Court in 1873, and of three generations of our own royal family. In their letters and conversations we find characteristic traits of Mr. Gladstone, Lord Rosebery, and their Liberal supporters, and of Burne-Jones and Meredith, and other artists and writers.... The Rothschild family in its earlier days appeals to the imagination by its financial power, which brought it into contact with those who ruled the destinies of Europe and by its munificence; while its Judaism and the peculiar features of its solidarity make the family history interesting and, in some ways, unique." - from Preface.

br. Napoleone è stato sconfitto sul campo di battaglia puramente finanziario. Dietro alla sconfitta di Waterloo, difatti, c'è lo zampino dei Rothschild. Sono loro a finanziare le operazioni militari del duca di Wellington che porteranno alla vittoria dell'esercito inglese. E, allo stesso modo, dopo l'uscita di scena di Napoleone, erogheranno prestiti per la restaurazione di Luigi XVIII in Francia. Ma ci si sbaglierebbe a credere che questa potentissima famiglia di origini tedesche facesse affari solo con uno schieramento. I loro prestiti venivano elargiti a dominati e dominatori, sconfitti e vincitori - una prassi che la famiglia saprà consolidare nel tempo. Nella ricostruzione di Jean Bouvier prende vita a partire dal Settecento l'epopea della famiglia che nel corso dell'Ottocento, quando era al suo apice, ha posseduto il più grande patrimonio privato al mondo.
Die Sammlung Rothschild ist besonders reich an hervorragenden Beispielen der Möbelkunst, Uhren u. vergoldeten Bronzen.
