02146321.4 cm x 16.4 cm. Photograph by Adam Clark Vroman Koshari-Pueblo of Santo Domingo ca. 1900. Between 1895 and 1904 Adam Clark Vroman photographed the landscape and native peoples of the American Southwest. He photographed the Hopis Zunis and Pueblos among other tribes. His portraits of Native Americans humanize rather than romanticize his subjects. The process he used most frequently was the platinotype or platinum print known for its non-reflective surface rich detail broad tonal range and permanence. The platinum process was widely used in the United States and Europe from 1880 through the 1930s when the cost of platinum became prohibitive and the silver-based processes gained prominence. Vroman moved to Pasadena California in 1892. He soon opened a book stationery and photo-supply shop there in November of 1894. He traveled through southern California Arizona and New Mexico on seven separate trips from 1895 to 1904 to document the area's landscape Indians and Indian communities. Vroman was employed as a photographer by the Bureau of American Ethnology a research unit of the Smithsonian Institution for two separate trips to the Southwest the former involving a climb to the Enchanted Mesa in central New Mexico to prove the existence of Indian habitation and the latter a documentation of Southwestern pueblos and cliff dwellings. books

177517124London 1775. Engraving by Joshua Record. In excellent condition with the exception of some minor foxing across the sheet and some waterstaining along the upper margin. A decorative engraving by the celebrated architect Robert Adam depicting an elegant room in Lord Derby's house in Grosvenor Square London.<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. Lowndes I p.8; DNB; Wilton-Ely The Mind and Art of Giovanni Battista Piranesi. unknown books
