196849201New York: John Wilcock 1968. First Edition. Tabloid 43cm; photo-illustrated newsprint wrappers; 24pp; illus. Light wear and toning to extremities faint horizontal fold at center with a long neat split to same; Good to Very Good without postal markings. Though never as popular or widely-circulated as its brethren like The East Village Other and The Berkeley Barb nor as political as such radical-left undergrounds as The Black Panther and New Left Notes John Wilcock's Other Scenes probably deserves pride of place as the most daring creative and experimental of the alternative press papers of the late Sixties. It was also - probably a function of Wilcock's comparative maturity he was already in his late thirties in 1967 - far less reliant on the sort of psychedelic mish-mosh that defined the aesthetic of most other underground papers of the period. Described in the masthead as "a revolutionary newsletter concerned with art politics sociology sex and the creation of a more equitable society" Other Scenes was heavily influenced by both the Fluxus and mail-art movements as well as Andy Warhol's avant-pop aesthetic Wilcock was a regular Factory denizen. The paper operated as much as a virtual underground club for its subscribers as it did a vehicle for news distribution; according to the masthead of an early issue Wilcock distributed the paper "twenty times a year from wherever its editor happens to be" and his mailings often included "surprises" including "newsletters newspapers letters brochures and discoveries that I make in all parts of the world." Contents include contributions by John Bryan Clem Gorman Lee Harris Israel Young Tuli Kupferberg Alex Apostolides Gary Snyder LeRoi Jones and others. John Wilcock unknown books

15751483181575. DE BRY Johann Theodor and J. I. DE BRY. Nova Alphati Effictio histories ad singulas literas correspondentibus et toreumate Bryanaeo artificiose in aes incises illustrate . Engraved title-page 24 elaborately engraved plates of letters all with grotesque Mannerist ornamentation. 4to. 325 x 212 mm bound by Rivière in full crushed brown morocco triple gilt fillet on covers floral gilt ornaments in corners spine with intricate floral tooling in compartments a.e.g. Frankfurt: De Bry 1595. First Edition of this celebrated and rare Renaissance Alphabet Book. "Elles représentent un grand Alphabet majuscule dont les lettres sont formées par découpures mouvementées ornées de figures de trophées d'oiseaux de fleurs et de fruits" Guilmard Les Maîtres Ornemanistes p. 368. The letters appear in uppercase and are embedded within elaborate ornamentation consisting of Biblical figures nymphs fauns musical instruments cherubs lovers insects fruits birds trophies fish lobsters flowers splendid entrelacs and luxurious arabesques. These extravagant illustrations are characterized by a disintegration of reality in which the forms have been redistributed in accordance with the fantasy of the De Bry brothers. The mixture of grotesque classical and symbolic imagery executed with supreme artistic bravado elevates this work to the pinnacle of published ornamental alphabet books. Each engraving is accompanied by a letterpress text in German and Latin on the verso where the subject matter is identified. The engravings are individually "signed" with "J.T.B. fe." A second edition of the work appeared at Cologne in 1613. The rarity of this first edition is attested by the recent facsimile of it Ravensburg 1997. No copies sold at auction as listed by ABPC; OCLC lists 7 copies in America at Houghton Morgan Library NYPL Walters Art Gallery RISD Newberry and the University of Virginia. There are also 7 copies listed in European institutions. This copy had the engravings cut out and mounted during the nineteenth century on large papier Hollande in a folio format. However the size of the cut-out sheets 195 x 150 mm remains fully intact; the folio sheets measure 325 x 212 mm. Some insignificant spots to interleaved sheets binding with minor rubbing to extremities. This copy lacks the two dedication leaves which includes the text to the letter A on the verso of the second leaf. A desirable copy nonetheless.
