19322866Szeged 1932. Fold out. In very good condtion. Design by George Buday Photos by Judit Karasz. Design by George Buday Photos by Judit Karasz. Fold out. 1 p. 30 x 40 cm English text and illustrations on the back. Kárász’s photographs explore the material qualities and structures of everyday things. Whether folded fabric parched soil or cotton wool the physical nature of the subject is the primary focus. Informed by her Bauhaus teacher László Moholy-Nagy she felt that photography could make tangible aspects of its subject matter that could not be detected by the eye alone. In each case the resulting image is carefully constructed from a delicate balance of light and shadow across the surface of the chosen material. Kárász studied under photographer Walter Peterhan.

196874182N.p.: N.p. ca. 1968. Modern working collection of over 100 original stencils tracings and hand painted samples of Federal furniture decorations. All laid in enveloped or taped into a modern three ring binder. These were used for furniture projects mainly chairs so signs of use are to be expected. A treasure trove for researchers and practitioners.Up until the 1840s stencils were widely used in America for walls and furniture. The use of stenciling declined as wallpaper became more economically viable as a decorative finish but it did not die out entirely. This collection dates from the 1960s and the designer perhaps named M. Robertshaw has taped in two pages of the catalog of stenciled American Federal furniture by Hitchcock Chair Company of Connecticut so it is likely he worked there. In 1818 Lambert Hitchcock founded an innovative chair company in the northwestern hills of Connecticut where he produced beautiful hand stenciled furniture. The company was ver successful and didn't close its doors in 2006 although it has recently been revived. N.p. unknown
1728ST19567-025London: Bernard Linton 1728. Second Edition in English. "With very large Additions and a new Treatise of Flowers and Orange-Trees. 255 x 195 mm. 10 1/8 x 7 3/4. viii 297 i.e. 299 17 pp.Translated by John James. <br/> Contemporary calf boards capably rebacked in a lighter calf raised bands dark brown morocco label with gilt lettering. With tailpieces a number of illustrations and 38 folding plates of garden plans. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Whyte Melville of Bennochy and Strathkinness; front free endpaper with ink singature of Robert Melvill and the armorial bookplate of Francis Gray Smart. Hunt 471; Henrey 950; Fowler 171 first edition in English; Harris 381. Original boards somewhat crackled as nearly always with treated calf and slightly marked corners quite worn a hint of browning to title and final leaf of ads otherwise a very desirable copy the text and plates in remarkably clean and bright condition.<br/> <br/> This is the definitive guide to formal gardening practices in the 18th century containing a thorough exploration of both theory and practice that is elucidated by nearly 40 folding plates drawn by one of the most influential architects of the period. Henrey calls it "the first important book on garden design to appear in England in the eighteenth century" and according to the Met museum's website the work "became the standard international text of the grand French manner of garden design." The text includes a wide array of design recommendations that comprise elements such as labyrinths groves bowling greens porticos colonnades and stairways; examples of different types of ornamentation and embellishment such as statuary and water features; recommendations for the best type of trees to employ; and practical advice for the care and management of plants and gardens. It is also notable as the first book to describe the "ha-ha" a type of fence with a sunken grade on one side creating an invisible livestock barrier while also preserving an unspoiled view of the countryside beyond it. The name supposedly derives from the astonished sound a viewer would make when encountering this ingenious solution. The work was originally published anonymously in French in 1709 and the first edition in English translated by architect John James appeared in 1712. Although the title page of the present work credits it to the great French architect Alexander Le Blond named "architecte du Roi" in France and the chief architect of St. Petersburg it is actually the work of his pupil Antoine Joseph Dezallier D'Argenville 1680-1765. Le Blond however did provide most of the drawings for the plates which beautifully illustrate the various garden designs and structural plans. Our three previous owners are of some interest. The signature on the front free endpaper is probably that of General Robert Melvill or Mellville 1723-1809 who served in the West Indies during the Seven Years' war. He became a plantation owner and governor of the Grenadines Dominica St. Vincent Tobago and Grenada. After returning to Great Britain in 1771 Melvill pursued academic interests and became a member Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries of London as well as a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Because he was a bachelor Melvill's estate went to his cousin John Whyte-Melville 1797-1883 a renowned golfer he became captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in 1823 and the father of the novelist and poet George John Whyte-Melville. Francis Gray Smart 1844-1913 was a homeopathic physician who founded the Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital. He was also an antiquary and avid coin collector who became a member of the Linnean Society the Society of Antiquaries and the British Numismatic Society. Considered apart from the book's sturdy though not especially attractive exterior the contents here are unexpectedly fresh clean and bright--unusual in a type of book that might normally have experienced use in an unprotected environment.
