This is an about very good hardcover copy in dark blue cloth boards with title in gilt on the front cover. Very clean inside and out. Top right corners of boards worn. Internally very clean, some handling of the pages, not crisp. This was the first catalog published by the Greenwich Gallery located in Greenwich Village, on 71 Washington Place, in the area around New York University, which itself surrounds Washington Square Park.

Signed and inscribed by author upon title page. 194 pages. Endpapers illustrated with cross-section of typical whaler. "The facts of the last voyage of the S.S. Carmel were more exciting than fiction. The whaling fleet of Victoria (British Columbia) is no more, but many of the colourful men who sailed these ships still sail the B.C. coast. There is no other livelihood where a group of people of all races and creeds gather to live and work together in a place of more constant peril and danger for months on end, with only their faith in those who command and walk the bridge to bring them safely home again." - from Foreword. Book unmarked with moderate wear to blue boards. Binding sound. Above-average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. Book

Light bumping to corners. Light shelfwear to dustjacket. ; The first full history of ancient Georgia ever to be written outside Georgia itself, this book also serves as a valuable introduction to the substantial archaeological work that has been carried out there in recent decades. Designed to open up ancient Georgia for the world of scholarship at large, it is not only a history of a neglected region, but also a sustained attempt to inform topics and issues that are more familiar to the historians of antiquity. Examples include myths of the periphery; Caucasian mountains and their passes; Greek colonization; the Persian, Athenian, and Selecuid empires; Pompey's conquest of Mithridates' empire; the development of the Roman frontier in the eastern Black Sea region; Roman diplomacy in Iberia; the Christianization of Iberia; Sassanian ambitions in Transcaucasia; and Byzantine warfare there. ; 9.75 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 359 pages

ill., br. Georgia O'Keeffe (Sun Prairie, 1887- Santa Fe, 1986) è una delle artiste statunitensi più innovative degli anni in cui la pittura si affranca dal realismo. Pioniera di un'arte nonoggettiva che miscela chiarezza di visione e urgenza emotiva, sviluppa un punto di vista personale sull'astrattismo ed elabora un metodo compositivo che trova la più fortunata espressione in quei celebri ritratti di fiori dall'intensa carica sensuale. Il libro intreccia cammino personale e artistico, e accanto alle vicende della protagonista si accalcano personaggi del calibro di Steichen, Strand, Demuth, Dove, Marin, Hartley: uno spezzone altamente rappresentativo dell'espressione artistica del secolo breve d'oltreoceano. Avversa alle etichette, ha un rapporto travagliato con la critica maschile: quando la elogiano per lo sfrontato cromatismo, risponde con tonalità sommesse; se invece le ampie volute vengono lette in chiave sessualmente allusiva, replica abbandonando i soggetti più carichi di sentimentalismo per tornare a un repertorio realistico, magari "saccheggiato" ai colleghi maschi.
