19573436Chiba Japan 1957. Very good plus. Title leaf plus 18 leaves illustrated with forty-three large photographs between 4 x 6 and 8 x 10 inches including a few small panoramic images most with typed captions mounted beneath the pictures. Oblong folio. Contemporary light brown leather. Minor scuffing and edge wear. A unique photograph album created for an American businessman named Richard F. Quandt "In Remembrance of Your Visit to Chiba Iron and Steel Works on May 14 1957" according to the printed dedication on the title leaf. The printed message is signed by the founder of Kawasaki Steel Yataro Nishiyama. The album is populated by over forty photographs featuring the construction and operation of Kawasaki Steel's new integrated steel mill in Chiba City Japan. The photographs picture the staff of Chiba Works a schematic of the plant aerial views of the plant images of the blast furnace coke oven ore yard and other exteriors. Some of the exterior shots include small panoramas of the plant's construction most notably a three-panel panorama showing the "Entire View of Hot & Cold Strip Mill Plant's Construction Work." The interior photographs document the heat control center open heart furnaces soaking pits and several candid shots of Mr. Quandt touring the plant with the managers of Kawasaki Steel.<br /> <br /> According to his 1974 obituary in The New York Times Richard Frederick Quandt was a Hungarian-born businessman who emigrated to the United States after World War II. He first worked for the Hambro Trading Company in 1949. At the time he visited the Chiba Iron and Steel Works he was serving as a loan officer for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development the lending arm of the World Bank. He was quite likely visiting the Chiba Works at the request of their principal Yataro Nishiyama in search of funding for the steel mill. Nishiyama was an engineer who built Kawasaki Steel into one of the most important steel manufacturing companies in Japan in the ensuing decades. A wonderful and informative photographic artifact of American economic diplomacy in postwar Japan. unknown

Maurice de Guérin (1810-1839) a composé Le Centaure et La Bacchante en 1835. Mort à 28 ans, il n'a d'ailleurs jamais achevé La Bacchante. Le poème s'arrête quand survient un serpent ; la morsure a lieu, mais non tous les effets. Selon Delphine Bouit : "Maurice de Guérin n’est pas vraiment un poète romantique français. Il ne peut pas être rattaché aux poètes romantiques allemands, mais il s’est nourri de la tradition classique allemande." L'auteur devait publier un troisième poème intitulé L'Hermaphrodite terminant ainsi ce triptyque singulier. "Ce qui étonne, emporte et émerveille, dans cette poésie guérinienne, c’est la force qui émane de ses évocations. Nous sommes le centaure Macarée qui se coule dans le fleuve ; nous sommes la bacchante Aëllo qui s’aventure sur la haute montagne ; nous vivons leur course et leur repos comme notre vie ordinaire." (Bouit Delphine, « Le centaure, la bacchante et le serpent », Sigila, 2013/2 (N° 32), p. 95-105. Ce très beau poème évocateur des hautes puissances di femina mythologiques est ici magistralement et humblement mis en images à l'aide de simples lettrines gravées sur bois par l'artiste Georges Baudin (1882-1960). Georges Baudin excellait dans le domaine artistique de la gravure sur bois et notamment dans la représentation de l'art antique et de la mythologie grecque. Bon exemplaire du très rare tirage sur Japon.
