4877Engraved allegorical frontis. by Augustin Saint-Aubin. xxxii 299 5 pp. 8vo orig. wrappers uncut. Paris: Didot & Knapen 1773. First edition and a lovely copy in original state of an uncommon book; this is one of Romé's first publications. It is a description "of the metallic ores of his own mineral cabinet in which he discussed the origin metamorphosis and paragenesis of each."-D.S.B. XI p. 521. Earlier he had catalogued the mineralogical curiosities in the cabinet of Pedro Francisco Davila and for several years found steady employment by preparing at least fourteen other mineralogical catalogues. In all the descriptions in the present work Romé stresses the importance of crystalline form and that this form is the chief characteristic by which minerals may be classified. Romé 1736-90 by formulating the law of constancy of interfacial angles established crystallography as the basis of mineralogy. The attractive frontispiece drawn by Saint-Aubin depicts two putti one examining ores under a microscope and the other stoking a furnace.

2001133006Burbank CA: Pandemonium Theatre Company 2001. Original poster for the 2001 Falcon Theatre production of the Ray Bradbury play "Falling Upward!" The production ran from November 27 2001 to December 30 2001. <br/><br/>"Falling Upward!" was known to be one of Bradbury's favorite plays and he often encouraged its production especially as he advanced in age simply for the joy of being able to see it again. Set entirely in an Irish bar with an entirely male cast he had in previous incantations considered the addition of a lone female cast member before deciding that was historically inaccurate. The play coalesced out of his experiences in Ireland which he first wrote into a short story entitled "The Anthem Sprinters" and which then were later incorporated into "Falling Upward!"<br/><br/>Bradbury was an avid playwright and a familiar and enthusiastic presence in the Southern Californian theater circuit near his home.
