1960143981Strasbourg France: Jean Jungmann 1960. Archive of 5 vintage single weight press photographs from a press gala for the 1960 French film here under the original French title. All rubber-stamped on the verso crediting photographer Jungmann and all but one show director Lamorisse on-stage behind a microphone with an official from the gala with one photo featuring smiling colleagues seated at a dining table. Housed in an original Jungmann mailing envelope addressed to Maryse Martres in holograph ink with a memo on Cinedis parchment from "F. Willkomm" signed by him in holograph ink and dated December 30 1960 noting that the images portray Lamorisse while he visited Strasbourg for the gala. Also included is a carbon typescript letter from Martres to Lamorisse citing the inclusion of travel tickets to Strasbourg and Marseilles and various press events to occur. A welcome addition to the director's mostly unseen oeuvre. <br/><br/>Little is known of Willkomm but the memo does bear his rubber-stamp crediting him as the Cinedis director of the Strasbourg location. Martres Martin was a prolific French actress since 1948 notably "Girl on the Third Floor" 1955 and "The Happy Road" 1957 and she was later involved in press relations at Cinedis a notable film agency in operation since the Silent Film era. Kishi was born in 1932 and became a Japanese actress and writer. She married director Ciampi in 1957. Since 1996 she has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA. Photographer Jungmann is equally obscure but seems to have been prolific in the 1960s mostly for press relations. <br/><br/>Director Lamorisse starred his own son Pascal as a boy who stows away on his grandfather's Gille hot-air balloon that is less controllable than suspected. They narrowly escape church spires and snag clotheslines and party guests Pascal enjoying every minute. Lemmon narrated the English version and subsequently bought the rights to the film. Winner of an OCIC Award at the 1960 Venice Film Festival. <br/><br/>Photos 5 x 7 inches small white borders Near Fine. Envelope and memo slightly larger Very Good plus overall.

194716078Paris: Imprimerie National 1947. First edition of Allais' groundbreaking work. Octavo 2 volumes original wrappers as issued. Inscribed by Maurice Allais on the title page of volume one. From the library of fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow with his name in each volume. In near fine condition with light shelfwear minor mending to the first few pages of volume one. A nice association linking these two Nobel Prize winning-economists and giants of twentieth century economics. In Economie & Interet Maurice Allais introduced the first overlapping generations model later popularized by Paul Samuelson in 1958 introduced the golden rule of optimal growth later popularized by Edmund Phelps or described the transaction demand for money rule later found in William Baumol's work. In 1988 Maurice Allais became the first French citizen to receive the Nobel Prize in economics. He won it for his contribution to the understanding of market behavior and the efficient use of resources. Allais also showed that his insights could be applied to help set efficient prices for state-owned monopolies of which France had many. Allais's work paralleled and sometimes preceded similar work done by English-speaking economists Sir John Hicks and Paul Samuelson. He also proved a result in growth theory in 1947 that had been credited to Edmund Phelps. Allais did not get credit as early as his English counterparts because his work was in French. "Had Allais' earliest writings been in English" commented Paul Samuelson "a generation of economic theory would have taken a different course. Imprimerie National unknown books
