The eight maps illustrate operations near Nasiriya 1915 the relief of Kut 1917 operations in the vicinity of the Tigris British and Turkish trench systems in January 1917 near the River Hai and the advance on Baghdad. Part II Hamilton's "The Madras Sappers in the Arab Insurrection in Iraq 1920" describes "the withstanding and suppressing of an insurrection in a very extensive area where the British Forces were widely scattered the lines of communication highly vulnerable and the inhabitants warlike and well armed" p. 1.

2004141957Stevens Point WI: The Arcadian Press 2004. Three individual books of handmade paper housed in a clamshell cloth covered box. Arcadian Press. 4to. Three individual books of handmade paper housed in a clamshell cloth covered box. unpaginated. Privately printed artist book limited to 50 numbered copies. All three volumes are fine in a fine clamshell box.<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> This powerful exquisitely rendered 3-volume collaboration between Caren Heft of Arcadian Press and Jeffrey Morin of sailorBOYpress is done in the spirit of the ars moriendi the art of dying 15th-century Christian texts with instructions about how to die well developed perhaps in response to the Black Plague. Heft and Morin use the format ironically to look contemporary scourges: suicide bombers the destructive effect of mercury in the environment AIDS. The woodcuts from the Middle Age-originals are replaced by an assemblage of tape pins stitchery beads and pieces of metal. The effect is powerful even overwhelming.<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> Papers: Root River Mill cotton Larroque and Hahnemuhle. The Hahnemuhle gelatin sized with pigment added-in. Typeface throughout: Cochin Light. <BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> From the colophons of the 3 volumes<BR> <br /> Martyr: "As a contemporary ars moriendi this book deals with death specifically the first Palestinian female bomber Wafa Idris. It is an attempt to understand why a young woman would strap a belt bomb over her womb and set if off in a public place where victims could be children elderly or pregnant women. Yasser Arafat who exhorted women to die for the liberation of Palestine died during the printing of this book.<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> "Suicide bombers are currently the weapon of choice for terrorist organizations. They are low-cost use unsophisticated technology are readily available require little training and strike fear into the hearts of the population. Women have an added advantage as in the Muslim world they are searched gingerly. World-wide women are perceived as non-violent adding an element of surprise. Suicide bombers attain extensive media coverage for their organizations as casualties are often high. Media coverage is a good recruitment tool and furthers political agenda."<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> Mercury: "What child does not remember finding some excuse to play with mercury in a science class That same child probably has some memory related to fishing. We all share the image that opened the Andy Griffith Show where father and son walk a country road on the way to their favorite fishing hole. Did anyone expect that todays childhood memories would intertwine mercury and fishing in such a dangerous way In most counties in Wisconsin the Department of Natural Resources limits the consumption of fish as well as the daily catch limit."<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> Rooster: "In fifteenth century Europe the level of literacy had been on the decline. Ars Moriendi were picture manuals for ones preparation to meet death. On one level they were intended to ease the transition and prepare ones family for the coming loss. On another level these manuals were a form of propaganda advising the soon-to-be-departed to give heavily to the Church to guarantee a better place in Heaven or at least a seat further from the flames of Hell.<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> "This book is one of three that deal with modern forms of death that visit a population. In this case it is the presence of AIDS in Africa and how a culture responds to and interprets the mortal threat. Sibongiles story comes from 'Child rape: A taboo within the AIDS taboo; More and more girls are being raped by men who believe this will "cleanse" them of the disease but people don't want to confront the issue" Sunday Times South Africa April 4 1999 by Prega Govender. It is combined with the story of Gumha and the Large Rooster as told by the Sukuma Research Committee. The two unrelated stories have been blended together to create a modern narrative that sets the stage for confronting death. The Arcadian Press unknown

Ensemble complet des 4 numéros parus, un des 150 exemplaires du tirage de tête, n°58, un des 100 japon (les 50 autres étant sur chine), chaque numéro étant justifié. Morin présent ainsi sa revue : « Cette revue ne sera ni pessimiste, ni réaliste, ni grave, comme la plupart de ses consoeurs. L'art n'est-il pas un jeu, le jeu des bons esprits, qu'il faut ranger au nombre des choses pas bien sérieuses dont parle Renan ? La fantaisiste revue des Quat'Saisons tâchera d'y jouer légèrement, pour le passe-temps des gens décidés d'y jouer légèrement, pour le passe-temps des gens décidés à lutter contre le spleen qui nous envahit, et à arrêter le moins possible leur pensée sur les misères de la vie laide que nous font les lois, les préjugés, les modes et le snobisme » (p.1). Il y évoque : Les souvenirs des deux derniers quat'zarts et d'un bal du courrier français, Le bal de l'internat, Les fantaisistes à l'Exposition (Exposition universelle de 1900), La joie d'autrefois (Le soir de Venise), l'influence du Chat Noir, La mode, Les fêtes de caractère, Les danses d'Espagne et les danses d'Orient, Mme Sada Yacco, Cléo de Mérode et les danseurs du diable, L'heure du berger Terpsichore, La rue des Enfants, Le soir de Venise, La bourgeoisie marche, L'Art moderne sculpture (Le raid Rodin), Montmartre (Histoires de modèles), L'amour de l'art, Carnaval de Nice, Les masques rouges..

Demi-chagrin brun à coins, dos lisse orné, tête dorée, couvertures et dos conservés. Quelques petites épidermures aux coiffes inférieures et à un coin. Très bel exemplaire.
