Veduta tratta dall'edizione del 1678 della celebre Sciagraphia Cosmica nota anche con il titolo Das ist Newes Emblematisches Buechlei, dainen in acht Centurijs die vornembste Stat, Vestung, Schlosser der ganzen Welt... stampata a Norinberga. La Sciagraphia Cosmica, venne ampliata sotto la supervisione di Kieser dopo la morte di Meisner nel 1625, arrivando quindi ad una composizione di 800 magnifiche incisioni. Ogni opera è caratterizzata da un motto sopra l'immagine, e da versi emblematici (in latino o tedesco). L'opera è la combinazione di due generi allora popolari, il libro degli stemmi e il "Teatro delle città". Tra i maestri incisori e miniatori che contribuirono a questa serie ci sono Matthäus Merian, Sebastian Furck, Christian Stimmer e forse anche Meisner stesso, che concepì l'opera e contribuì a buona parte della prosa. Incisione in rame, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Panorama of the city, taken from the 1678 edition of the famous "Sciagraphia Cosmica" with the title "Das ist Newes Emblematisches Buechlei, dainen in acht Centurijs die vornembste Stat, Vestung, Schlosser der ganzen Welt...Nuremberg, 1678''. "Of little topographical interest, the view shows the Capitoline Hill emerging from the adjacent urban fabric, while the view to the left closes in on a scarcely recognizable St. Peter's. The author's name is only written on the title page. In addition to Meisner himself, the engravers involved included Merian, Furck and Stimmer" (cf. Marigliani p. 194). The Sciagraphia Cosmica was expanded under the supervision of Kieser after Meisner's death in 1625, resulting in a composition of 800 magnificent engravings. Each engraving is characterised by a motto above the image and emblematic verses (in Latin or German). The work is a combination of two popular genres, the Book of Coats of Arms and the Book of City Plants. Among the master engravers and illuminators who contributed to this series are Matthäus Merian, Sebastian Furck, Christian Stimmer and possibly Meisner himself, who conceived the work and contributed much of the prose. Copper engraving, with margins, in perfect condition. Cremonini pagg. 57/58, 45a; C. Marigliani, "Le Piante di Roma delle collezioni private", tav. 97.

Previous owner's bookplate to front end paper. No marks or inscriptions. Extremely faint crease to front cover, none to rear or to spine. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 80pp. This work of full-page colour photographs by Paul Graham deals with the small but insistent signs of deep political division within the landscape of Northern Ireland in the 1980s. 'The foreword by Declan McGonagle contrasts the work against the melodramatic imagery of the North and places the Troubles in a broader framework of the marginalisation and denial of power that has been the hallmark of British cononialism for centuries. The main text by Gerry Badger examines the genre of reportage photography and positions this work within a new generation of intelligent documentary photography that represents ideas rather than furnishing simple visual records or illustrating words.'

"In spite of recent well-publicized seizures of massive shipments of heroin from Southeast Asia, heroin continues to flood the country, spreading into every level of this society and shredding the fabric of everyday life. U.S. government estimates of the number of addicts has leaped from 315,000 in 1969 to over 560,000 in 1972. This book puts all the pieces of this ghastly puzzle together, and then maps the possible avenues out of the horror, suggesting that America may have to choose between our commitments in Southeast Asia and getting heroin out of our high schools." - from dust jacket.
