1787000055Göttengen: J. C. Dieterich 1787. Half Calf. Very Good . Folio 39.2 x 24.6 cm Large paper copy bound in later half calf and marble boards. Collation: 2 iii-xlv 1 Err. 1-124 8 pp. 31 3 folding engraved plates. The present half calf binding replaced the original green-paper boards. The new binding has raised bands and gilt decorated panels with brief gilt title and author stamped into red morocco label in upper panel. The boards and corners are in very good condition. There is upper edge paper repair to front free end paper and title page presumably replacing removed early ownership information. The text proper including the half title not mentioned by Sabin is very clean and bright. The personal circular stamp of previous owner Inz. Mgr. M. Kubiak is in the blank area of the fore edge on p. xxxix and the lower right corner of Tab. III. The plates are generally very clean except for Tab XVIII XXVI XXIX and XXXI where there is striking from the printing of the plate or minor spot in center area away from image Tab. XXXI. Plate XXVI has the most striking near the stub area. It is also the only plate that was placed on the stub too high and the upper edge with Tab number was trimmed during the rebinding with number unreadable. The table on pp. xxxviii- xlv lists properties of 21 North American trees with aspects of growth roots base location/habitat bark wood/lumber leaves sex flowering time seeds seed maturity beginning of growth life span propagation and uses of timber. <br/><br/>Each tree illustrated is discussed separately in the text portion of this work. Wangenheim gives the German Latin and English name for each tree along with Latin description and cites authors who have named and described the tree previously. Several of the trees were new and are described by Wangenheim who cites Linneaus Species Plantarum and Gronovius Flora Virginiana for the other trees. This is one of the first systematic treatment of North American trees with illustrations that would be suitable for a climate outside North America other than Catesby's 1763 Hortus britanno-americannus… and predates Michaux's first illustrated work on oakes by 14 years. There was an earlier publication by Wangenheim that was more of a catalog of trees he observed in his travels as an Hessian soldier with the British troops during the War of Independence. All of the plates were made from field drawings done by Wangenheim although none of them is signed. Johnston notes Cleveland Collection p. 537 that Wangenheim returned to "Prussia where he engaged in forestry. This is the first edition of this work on introducing North American trees into Germany.

2018172908Austin: University of Texas 2018. Hardcover. VG. Brown cloth covered boards with gilt lettering on spine illustrated dust jacket 359 pp profusely illustrated in color. "I want buildings that will be exciting seventy-five years from now" financier Howard Ahmanson told visual artist Millard Sheets offering him complete control of design subject decoration and budget for his Home Savings and Loan branch offices. The partnership between Home Savings-for decades the nation's largest savings and loan-and the Millard Sheets Studio produced more than 160 buildings in California Texas Florida New York Ohio Illinois and Missouri over the course of a quarter century. Adorned with murals mosaics stained glass and sculptures the Home Savings and Savings of America branches displayed a celebratory vision of community history and community values that garnered widespread acclaim. 'Banking on Beauty' presents the first history of this remarkable building program. Drawing extensively on archival materials site visits and oral history interviews Adam Arenson tells a fascinating story of how the architecture and art were created the politics of where the branches were built and why the Sheets Studio switched from portraying universal family scenes to celebrating local history amid the dramatic cultural and political changes of the 1960s. Combining urban history business history and art and architectural history Banking on Beauty reveals how these institutions shaped the corporate and cultural landscapes of Southern California where many of the branches were located.
