Small folio 300 x 200 mm bound in original blue embossed cloth. Leningrad: "Meshdunarodnaja Kniga" Leningrad Section 1933. First Edition of this landmark work of Soviet architectural fantasies lavishly illustrated with dramatic designs of possible cities factories monumental buildings and more. This is the best and most important publication by Chernykov and one of the most exciting books on architecture issued in the twentieth century "an amazing compendium of one hundred and one coloured inventions which still excite the imagination today. The verdict must surely be that Tchernykov's almost unlimited imagination for architectural forms provides a pattern book for modernist architecture rather than a repertoire of viable designs" Compton Russian Avant-Garde Books 143-4. Published in collaboration with D. Kopanitzin and E. Pavlova this first edition was limited to 3000 copies although very few now exist in permanent or private collections.

Monté en tête : portrait photographique de Max Jacob le montrant dans sa chambre de la rue Gabrielle en 1917 selon la légende manuscrite au dos tirage argentique 239 x 180 mm. Il a servi à l’établissement du texte pour la version publiée en 1956. . Ce témoignage capital et de première main sur le cubisme devait initialement introduire les mémoires du marchand d'art Paul Guillaume disparu en 1934. Max Jacob y travailla plusieurs années mais n'en publia qu'un fragment en janvier 1937 dans la revue Les Feux de Paris sous le titre « Le Tiers transporté ». Pour le quatre-vingtième anniversaire de la naissance de l'auteur en 1956 Louis Broder en publia la version intégrale avec des illustrations de Picasso l'ami historique de Max Jacob. Les pages 36-38 offrent plusieurs passages raturés restés inédits. Par ailleurs le manuscrit diffère légèrement de l'édition dans l'emplacement des titres et sous-titres. C'est à partir de ce jeu que Broder publia ces Chronique des temps héroïques en y ajoutant la partie publiée dans Les Feux de Paris en 1937 dont le manuscrit lui manquait à l'époque p. 1-33 feuillets 1-22. Propriété du libraire Bernard Loliée il fut vendu lors de la vente de la bibliothèque 22 mai 2019 n° 27. À l'issue de la publication du volume Broder fit relier l'ensemble de ses manuscrits à l'identique de l'exemplaire unique sur papier japon qu'il s'était dessiné : un décor de filets à froid composé par Plumelle sur une reliure de maroquin bordeaux établie par Semet. Dans l'idée d'y adjoindre un jour les 22 feuillets du début du texte Broder demanda à son relieur de réserver la place nécessaire en tête de volume ou figurent autant de feuillets vierges prêts à les recevoir. Le manuscrit Broder commence donc à la page 33 du texte publié et offre toute la suite des Temps héroïques - à l'exception du chapitre VI qui est ici remplacé par trois pages inédites intitulées « Voyage en Suisse » p. 71-73 acquises chez un libraire parisien en 1966 : « Ils sont inédits et doivent prendre place avant la page 99 de la Chronique des temps héroïques en début de chapitre » et du folio 70 « page de titre de la seconde partie ». Le catalogue de la vente Loliée mentionne deux chapitres des Temps héroïques conservés dans des collections publiques : « Mouvement moderne » à la bibliothèque d'Orléans et « Art nègre » au fonds Gompel-Netter de la BnF. Après consultation c'est inexact : ces manuscrits ne constituent pas des parties originales du manuscrit mais sont de simples notes et des articles préparatoires à leur rédaction. Le manuscrit Broder est donc le seul document autographe existant et le seul qui ait servi à l'établissement [Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, vers 1936-1937]. Manuscrit autographe à l'encre noire de 70 feuillets in-4, numérotés 23-92 [avec u unknown

1902021995New York: The Macmillan Company 1902. First Edition. Hardcover. Minor wear to covers. Near Fine. Second Printing in publisher's original decorated blue cloth. Illustrated. This copy is SIGNED "with the best wishes of/Theodore Roosevelt/Dec 1906." Jacob Riis a significant contributor to the cause of urban reform in the United States of America at the turn of the twentieth century was among the most dedicated advocates for America's oppressed and downtrodden. He arrived in New York from his native Denmark at the age of 21 in 1870. A pioneer in photojournalism Riis photographed and wrote about the slums and tenements of a New York in the dawn of a new century. Riis came to Roosevelt's attention through his 1890 book HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES. As Commissioner of the New York City Police Department Roosevelt accompanied Riis on his evening travels through the slums and witnessed firsthand the inhumane conditions endured by many of New York's inhabitants. In his 1901 book MAKING OF AN AMERICAN Riis wrote of Roosevelt: "It could not have been long after I wrote HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES that he came to the Evening Sun office one day looking for me. I was out and he left his card merely writing on the back of it that he had read my book and had 'come to help.' That was all and it tells the whole story of the man. I loved him from the day I first saw him; nor ever in all the years that have passed has he failed of the promise made then. No one ever helped as he did. For two years we were brothers on Mulberry Street." Roosevelt in turn wrote of Riis after his death: "It is difficult for me to write of Jacob Riis only from the public standpoint. He was one of my truest and closest friends. I have ever prized the fact that once in speaking of me he said 'since I met him he has been my brother.' I have not only admired and respected him beyond measure but I have loved him dearly . and I mourn him as if he were one of my own family." <br/><br/> The Macmillan Company hardcover

Extremities lightly worn small paper label at foot of spine. Small ink stamp on titlepage and verso of map. Minor scattered foxing. Very good. Second issue with some corrections after the first printing of the previous year of this rare account of Lower California by the German Jesuit Jacob Baegert. Baegert lived in Baja California for seventeen years 1751- 68 and spent most of his time at the Mission of San Luis Gonzaga leaving after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. He provides some important details on the culture of the Indians of Baja California including the Pericues Guiacuras and Cochiemes. Wagner states that the German Jesuits were especially dissatisfied toward the end of the Jesuit regime in California and Baegert's bitterness is evident in his book: ".it was a land full of ferocious beasts and even more ferocious Indians the soil was poor the water undrinkable and there was no fuel to be had." The fine and important map was made by the fellow Jesuit Ferdinand Consak and is described by Streeter as "most helpful in giving the location of the many Jesuit missions in Lower California. It also shows the route along the west coast of Mexico followed by Baegert in going to California in 1751 and his route out in 1768 after the expulsion of the Jesuits." The top right corner of the territory present-day Arizona is labeled rather ominously "Los Apaches Barbari."

LANDAU'S RAREST AND MOST IMPORTANT GRAPHIC SERIES. This is a suite of 10 haunting and enigmatic original lithographs by Jacob Landau, each one justified and signed in pencil by the artist. From an edition of 20 sets printed on fine BFK Rives wove paper, this is set 20/20. Additionally signed by Landau in the colophon. Furthermore, this is an outstanding association copy, with Landau's signed presentation inscription to Sylvan and Lilyan Cole. Sylvan Cole (1918-2005) was the most important dealer in American prints of his (or any) generation, and as director of Associated American Artists he published and sold many of Landau's prints. Lilyan was his second wife. *** "I did a suite of lithographs called CharadesÖ I associated the name Charades with what Goya had called Caprichos, Öriddles, puzzles. He also did a series called Proverbs, where he picked up on sayings that were common in the land, but dealt with them in mysterious, puzzling ways. And, I dealt with what came out of my obsessions, things that I did not fully understand. Fear of death, for instance, and a sort of frustrated feeling of love. These are obsessions that manifest themselves in various ways and images. The reason they seem to appeal to others is because apparently other people share some of the same obsessions. Thatís where the archetypal aspect comes in." --Jacob Landau. *** Folio. FINE AND BRIGHT WITH NO DEFECTS. Housed in the original cloth folding case, by Schuberth Bookbindery of San Francisco. An outstanding item. Since all of the lithographs are signed, most sets have been broken up. This set, however, was in Sylvan Cole's private collection from the day it was presented to him by the artist until his death in June, 2005. IMPORTANT NOTE: During March, 2006, hundreds of prints represented as being from "the Sylvan Cole collection" were sold at public auction. In fact, ALL of these items were from his leftover gallery inventory, not his private collection. As far as I know, the few items I offer from Sylvan's collection are the ONLY items anywhere on the market which are actually from his private collection (which he kept in his apartment, not his gallery). I acquired them all directly from Sylvan (my uncle), mainly in spring, 2005.

Chevreul's "Cours de teintures des Gobelins" here in its first printing. Chevreul's colour studies made him one of the most influential scientists in France during the nineteenth century. From 1824 he was director of dyeing at the Manufactures Royales des Gobelins where he taught chemistry for nearly sixty years. "Chevreul's immediate task at Gobelins was to work on the improvement of colour intensity and fastness in wools. He had been selected for this position because he was an outstanding chemist; and his initial studies were on the chemical aspects of dyes and dyeing attempting to place the art of dyeing on a more rational basis than the complicated and empirical procedures then employed.Chevreul rendered an important service to the dye industry during the years prior to the advent of synthetic dyestuff" DSB.

Édition originale posthume du texte de Max Jacob considéré comme ses « Mémoires ». Elle est illustrée par Pablo Picasso de 3 lithographies originales en couleurs et en noir étui couverture et portrait-frontispice 3 pointes-sèches originales et 24 dessins inédits gravés sur bois par Georges Aubert qui rappellent les illustrations du Chef-d’œuvre inconnu. Tirage unique à 170 exemplaires sur vergé de Montval celui-ci un des 30 numérotés en chiffres romains auxquels sont joints 2 états de la lithographie pour l’étui exemplaire n° II signé par Picasso. . Max Jacob livre ici un témoignage de premier ordre celui de ses souvenirs littéraires et artistiques de Montmartre. Il rencontre Pablo Picasso en 1901 à Paris et s'en suit une fraternelle amitié qui fait de lui le témoin quasi quotidien du travail de Picasso désigné comme son héros aux côtés d'Apollinaire lorsqu'il doit écrire sur l'époque de la rue Ravignan. À la mort du marchand Paul Guillaume sa veuve lui demande une préface à un volume des mémoires de son mari. C'est ce projet qui est l'acte fondateur du texte et deviendra ce récit fondamental sur le cubisme : La Chronique des temps héroïques. On y croise outre Picasso et Apollinaire les futuristes et les avant-gardes du XXe siècle. Arrêté et déporté à Drancy où il périra le 5 mars 1944 Jacob ne verra jamais la publication de ces lignes rédigées en 1936-37. Louis Broder se chargera de l'édition d'après un manuscrit complet des huit chapitres et Pablo Picasso se fera un honneur de l'illustrer : il composera une lithographie sur papier report 3 pointes sèches et 2 lithographies en couleurs pour la couverture et l'étui ; 24 gravures sur bois dans le texte de Georges Aubert d'après les dessins de Picasso. Signalons qu'il existe un exemplaire unique sur japon réalisé pour Louis Broder.
