177431062London 1774. Engraving by B. Pastorini. A fine engraving of a painted plaster and stucco ceiling from the interior at Kenwood House in Hampstead London re-modelled in 1761-1773 and now home to the Iveagh Bequest picture collection.<br/> <br/>Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57 Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi which was inspirational for both men. Adam's first book on Diocletian's palace in Dalmatia is clearly very like the archaeological investigations Piranesi was making at the same time of similar ruins. Piranesi's friendship and passion for Roman Classicism were seminal influences on Adam and the greatest single factor other than his own talent in the work Adam produced on his return to England. Upon his return the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London which although not a commercial success at the time included one of London's most cherished buildings the Adlephi Theatre. Together the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House Keddlestone Manor and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches lunettes festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time beginning in 1773 with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822.<br/> <br/>Cf. Brunet I.47; cf.

He also exhibited down to the year 1838: 'Henry IV. after the Battle of Coutras' 'Trait of Kindness in the Duke de Berri' 'The Postillion' 'The Vivandiere' 'The Road to Poissy' 'The Return from the Chase' 'Horse-fair at Caen' and numerous other subjects. He then retired from publicity till 1846 when he appeared as the exhibitor of some works in lithography to which branch of art he afterwards restricted himself. In this line he produced a lithographic album 'Views in the Environs of Paris' 'Studies of Animals for an edition of Buffon' &c. He obtained a gold medal in 1824 a second class medal in 1836 besides several others from Lille Douai and other cities. He died at Viroflay in 1866.<br/><br/>Alexis Eymery 1774-1854 aka.

On May 2nd 1809 he joined forces with the bookseller Pierre Blanchard 1772-1856 to form the company P. Blanchard et compagnie which became on November 30th 1811 Blanchard and A. Eymery. The association was officially dissolved on May 4th 1812 and the two partners split the business with Eymery keeping the address of 30 rue Mazarine. Eymery was the author of plays as well as numerous religious or moralizing books for young people published under different pseudonyms.

2775Two folding engraved plates. xvi 427 pp. 8vo cont. calf upper joint with tiny split at foot spine gilt red morocco lettering piece on spine. Edinburgh: printed by A. Donaldson & J. Reid; for the Author and A. Donaldson; sold by A. Millar et al. London 1762. First edition. The author's first book and one of the most important Scottish agricultural treatises of the 18th century. Dickson 1721-76 was a clergyman in Dunse with a strong interest in the techniques of farming. The text here is divided into four parts: on vegetation tillage manures and soil. The underlying principle which runs throughout the book is that English works on agriculture were ill-suited to the soil and climate of Scotland. An expanded version of this work was published in Edinburgh in 1770 in two volumes. A nice copy. ❧ Fussell II pp. 55-56. unknown books

The title comes from one of the names used for electronic paper. There are five tiny stories by the two-time Granta award-winning novelist Adam Thirlwell also partially hidden by the uncut pages. Mary Ramsden's first artist book. Mary Ramsden has created eight signed unique works for the publication RadioPaper which combine paper collage with bold brushstrokes of gouache. The unique works accompany Ramsden's paintings on display in The London Open 2015 the Whitechapel Gallery's triennial open submission exhibition from 15 July-6 September 2015.<br /> RadioPaper is the debut artist's book by British artist Mary Ramsden featuring five original short stories by novelist Adam Thirlwell. Each publication features a unique hand-painted cover by Ramsden. Inside across 150 pages the artist's works on paper appear alongside a collection of short stories by Thirlwell: Autoportraits with Hidden Elements - a noirish reflection on the selfie. Featuring solid blocks of colour which interrupt decisive painterly marks RadioPaper presents a tension between the flat surface and the gesture of the artist redolent of smudges and swipes on digital touch-screens within the rectangular framework. Using concealment as a deliberate compositional device Ramsden obscures parts of the image and also the ending of each story by Thirlwell within the uncut french-folded pages of the book. RadioPaper marks the second phase of an ongoing collaboration between Ramsden and Thirlwell which developed after the award-winning author asked the artist to create a painting in response to his latest novel Lurid & Cute published in January 2015. Subsequently a painting with the same title appeared earlier this year in the artist's last solo exhibition Swipe at Pilar Corrias Gallery in London. New paintings by Ramsden including one work The Dirtiest Selfie at 50pt which borrows its title from a story in RadioPaper also appear in an exhibition Vanilla & Concrete as part of the Art Now series at Tate Britain London until 19 June 2016. RadioPaper is a limited edition of 30 plus 2 artist's proofs. Each artwork is produced by Book Works. Studio Leigh unknown
