180934488London: William Miller 1809. Hand-colored aquatint by R. Havell. Sheet size: 21 1/2 x 29 3/4 inches. In this large panoramic view Salt demonstrates the appropriateness of the sobriquet "City of a Thousand Minarets". In the foreground is the great Sultan Hussan Mosque one of the largest mosques in Cairo. As we look through the streets towards the distant Nile we see many neighborhood mosques and holy places. Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England 14 June 1780. He was destined to be a portrait-painter and on leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London and became a pupil of Joseph Farington R.A. and in 1800 of John Hoppner R.A. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited the Cape India Sri Lanka and in 1805 Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is from a work titled Twenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and displays great artistry by both Salt and his engravers.

A9780691973890Hardback. New. <p><b>A richly illustrated account of the life and work of the twentieth-century Mexican artist and writer who reimagined what the book could look like mean and do</b><br /><br />Ulises Carrión 1941–1989 was one of the most remarkable artists and writers of the second half of the twentieth century. Part of a generation of artists that challenged the boundaries separating visual arts literature music and performance Carrión worked in a wide range of media: artists’ books sound poetry performance art mail art video art theoretical writing and exhibitions. Today Carrión’s work is inspiring a new generation of artists art historians and cultural practitioners around the world. <i>Ulises Carrión: Bookworks and Beyond </i>presents a richly illustrated panoramic account of his life and work and highlights how he transformed conventional understandings of the book by reimagining it as a material semiotic and social platform capable of redefining the artist’s role in society.<br /><br />A promising young writer Carrión left his native Mexico in the late 1960s to study literature in Europe. In 1972 he settled in Amsterdam a progressive city where he could live as an openly gay man and joined a community of like-minded artists. In 1975 he founded the legendary Other Books & So a trailblazing bookstore-gallery that became a hub for exhibiting and promoting artistic experiments taking place in Amsterdam and internationally.<br /><br /><i>Ulises Carrión</i> includes an evocative and representative selection of the artist’s books artworks and ephemera most of them from Princeton University Library which has one of the largest collections of his work in North America. Featuring original scholarly and literary essays the book mirrors and engages with Carrión’s own mixture of scholarly and creative work. With its key primary material interdisciplinary critical perspectives and new interpretations the book sheds much new light on an important multimedia artist.<br /><br /><b>Exhibition Schedule</b><br />Princeton University Library Princeton New Jersey<br />February 21–June 16 2024</p> hardcover
