A Large Paper Copy. Cleveland Collections 557; Dunthorne 6; Sitwell "Great Flower Books" p. 67 69; Nissen BBI 18. ◆One plate with minor repair to fore-edge margin another with tiny rust hole not touching image half a dozen plates with insignificant smudges made during the printing process other trivial imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and wide-margined in a flawless binding.<br/> <br/> This is a major work of 18th century botany describing more than 2800 species of plants found in Italy's Piedmont region illustrating 237 previously unknown specimens and--crucially--classifying them all according to the new Linnean system becoming one of the first regional botanicals to use that taxonomy; as a bonus our copy comes in a particularly appropriate and charming binding with prominent botanical design elements. "Flora Pedemontana" was the chief work of Italian physician Carlo Allioni 1728-1804 professor of botany at the University of Turin and director of its natural history cabinet and botanical garden. The illustrations were drawn and engraved by the botanical garden's resident artist Francesco Peyroleri and his son Pietro. Our flora is also an important source of information on Alpine flowers. The modern binding is by an artisan who was proclaimed the "Grande Dame of French bookbinding" by the journal "Art & Métiers du Livre." Annie Boige trained at the Estienne School and at the Vésinet Applied Art Workshop before establishing her atelier in 1985. An art bookbinder she is noted for her monochrome color schemes and her use of beautiful leathers and vegetal materials a felicitous choice here. Michael Briolus unknown
1917001174Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Vincent Rene; Leonnec Georges; Giris Cesar et al illustrators. Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. The Decembre 29 1917 Issue 55e annee No 52. Illustrations by Rene Vincent Cesar Giris Georges Leonnec et al. Text in French. Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 19 pp. 1159 through 1177 for the 1917 year plus 1 unnumbered ad leaf and covers. Slender but at folio size a bit too large for full scans. Some cover soiling wrinkling wear and small scale chips; contents sharp bright Very Good overall. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations by Leonnec Giris Vincent et al front cover "Est-ce vous le grand enfant qui veut.une poupee pour son jour de l'an" which I believe means roughly "Are you the Big Baby who wants.a doll for your birthday" featuring a winter-clad but nonetheless fetching young lady pointing at us and Giris' "Petite Secousse au Vieux Marcheur" on the rear cover. Mild nudity sporadically in these issues but quite soft. All of the full page efforst are eminently frame-able and at this time of a sensibility midway-evolved between nouveau and deco as is much of the uncredited b&w illustration. An original - and of course first and only edition - of the 12/29/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent luminaries named above are what what really "make" this issue as was generally the case through the era but cartoons serial fiction and around-town pieces nicely compliment those. Gorgeous oversized large color illustrations are what you collect these for. l-lng1 <br/> <br/> La Vie Parisienne paperback

195811447Westerham Kent UK: Privately Printed Westerham Press 1958. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 12mo 31pp. plus back matter. A fine copy in the publisher's thin grey wooden veneer boards with plain white spine. Spine gently and evenly faded but with the gilt still bright. Else very fresh and handsome. To paraphrase from Lane's Foreword the illustrations herein were created for various Penguin trade publications over the previous ten years. Since the thin mass-produced paper cannot give the full flavor of these wood engravings Lane decided to have this little volume made on thicker handmade paper Hosho-Shi from Berrick Brothers in London which does more justice to the engravings. With contributions from Reynolds Stone Cecil Keeling Derrick Harris Imre Reiner Roy Morgan George Buday David Gentleman and Diana Bloomfield. A lovely little book. Laid-in is a Christmas card from H. F. Paroissien who seems to have been a Director at Penguin at the time of publication. Privately Printed [Westerham Press] hardcover

114998Moscow Izobrazitel'noe iskusstvo 1972. . First edition presentation copy signed by A. Sokolov on the verso of the upper portfolio board folio 38 x 28.5 cm; complete with 34 plates of which 16 are double page each with descriptive text on the verso 36pp. of text by Denisov and Alimov in a separate booklet also with an introduction by Yuriy Gagarin; housed together in the original blue leatherette portfolio enamel and metal USSR medallion to upper cover and title in silver a very good copy.<br /> Presentation copy of the first edition inscribed by the space fantasy artist Andrei Sokolov to Fuad Borisovich Yakubovskiy Soviet minister for 'special construction projects'.<br /><br />A striking portfolio of Soviet space art with thirty four plates depicting imaginary spacewalks satellite constructions curious spacecraft dreamy constellations and unexplored planets and moons. One of the artists A. Leonov was the pioneering cosmonaut who made the first spacewalk exiting the capsule during the Voskhod 2 mission. Art however was his first love and he was the first person to sketch earth from space. He often collaborated with his close friend Andrei Sokolov who unlike Leonov did not have first hand experience of space and instead chose to paint a more fantastical picture. <br /><br />The album was published to mark the 15th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik and is a glorious example of ambitious propaganda. It was clearly designed to make an impact with the elaborate portfolio case and wonderful illustrations which are often highlighted with silver. The inclusion of real life space missions alongside imagined realities of the future is an assertion of the potential for Soviet cosmonauts.<br /> Moscow, Izobrazitel'noe iskusstvo, 1972. hardcover

119876London R. Ackermann 1808-10. . First edition early issue with ALS loosely tipped to first blank; 3 vols large 4to 34 x 28 cm; letter from Augustus Welby Pugin to T. Bury dated 1839 restored and laid on linen wood-engraved titles engraved dedications 104 hand-coloured aquatint plates by Bluck Stadler and others after Pugin and Rowlandson watermarks 1806-1808 bookplate to pastedown; twentieth-century half crushed morocco by Zaehnsdorf gilt ruled cloth boards spine lettered in gilt in six gilt compartments all edges gilt marbled endpapers a fine set.<br /> This is a splendid work with the preferred pre-publication watermarks exhibiting a depth and richness of colouring. The Microcosm offers an incomparable panorama of Regency London both high and low from sedate drawing rooms to the brawling and boozing street life of the metropolis captured in matchless hand-coloured aquatint by the inspired pairing of Pugin and Rowlandson. Most of the plates are in their first or second state with plate 12 and 39 in the rare first state.<br /><br />With an autograph letter by Augustus Welby Pugin 1812-1852 pioneer of the Gothic Revival architecture movement to probably Thomas Talbot Bury 1809-1877 his long time friend and collaborator dated 1839. The letter describes a drawing Pugin made of Macclesfield Church St Michael and All Angels including directions to Bury for his engraving of the image and is adorned with small sketches of the altar candles and statues. It was Augustus Welby's father Augustus Charles who produced the architectural drawings of this work and was the reason Augustus Welby and Bury were so intimate having apprenticed his son and Bury together.<br /><br />'Ackermann's The Microcosm of London. is a book of major importance. The architectural drawings were by Augustus Charles Pugin a French refugee who came to London in about 1798 "driven from his country either by the horrors of the French Revolution or by private reasons connected with a duel" . His lasting fame rests on his consummate ability as an architectural draughtsman. By a stroke of genius Ackermann engaged Thomas Rowlandson to add human figures to the drawings that Pugin made for The Microcosm so that the stately accurate and dignified qualities of that artist are enlivened by the vitality and charm of Regency life as depicted by one of the most vigorous draughtsmen of all time. To turn the leaves of The Microcosm is to take a walk though London at a singularly fortunate moment observing as we never can in real life the scenes of many celebrated incidents in English literature and history: the India House of Charles Lamb the King's Bench Prison of Dickens the Foundling Hospital of Captain Coram and Hogarth the Guildhall bombed by the Luftwaffe the Newgate of Harrison Ainsworth the Carlton House of the Prince Regent and so forth.'
