Folio. "It is proposed that a COMPLETE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS be opened to the public on a fifty cent admission basis which is to be properly laid out as an attractive Zoological and Botanical Garden with the finest and largest private collection of animals birds and reptiles to be seen anywhere on the continent."<br /> <br /> The advent of the motion picture industry in California had many wide-ranging ramifications on the business world and one was that it created a new market for firms who traditionally supplied animals to circuses and zoos both public and private owned by the likes of William Randolph Hearst. <br /> <br /> This archive is a report by the Investment Auditors of California for the Horne Corporation that was looking to expand by establishing a zoological garden in the environs of Los Angeles. The Horne Corporation was the largest and most successful of its type at the time apparently the only company in the US that could completely outfit a circus with both animals and show equipment. They were to purchase the Los Angeles Zoological Garden and Jungle Studio for $250000 and thereby sought to provide a similarly complete service to the film studios with both animals and suitable locations for film sets.<br /> <br /> The head of the company I.S. Horne for whom this report was compiled commenced trading in animals from Kansas City MO around 1914. The range of animals at the their disposal included big game birds reptiles and many of the documents concern the prospect of importing reindeer from Alaska.<br /> <br /> The material is held in a presentation album and includes the certificate of incorporation in Wilmington Delaware May 13 1929 as well as the by-laws of the corporation minutes of the first meeting the proposal for Los Angeles Zoological Garden and Jungle Studio and a balance sheet. At this stage the company had total assets of $57700 & liabilities of $625388.46; an enumeration of the various animals in inventory including wildebeest sables leopard lynx Rhodesian baboons bushbaby and a large aardvark.<br /> <br /> Of real interest are the plans for the park including artist's impressions which would be furnished with circus attractions "Monkey Island" jungle setting for motion pictures and an acknowledgment that "before the introduction of the motion picture industry the art of showmanship was not quite so highly developed as it is today." In fact one of the first pictures they supplied animals for was - appropriately enough - Trader Horn which was nominated for the 1931 Academy Award for Best Picture. <br /> <br /> On a more practical level there is a "Descriptive Classification of Principal Commercial Wild Animals" which lists 340 different animals in some details. There is also an account of hunting wild animals in East Africa as well as a section on animals that have been trained to hunt by man. Furthermore there is also much correspondence which provides much insight into the game industry its clients and the prospects for its future.<br /> <br /> Horne's venture subsequently became known as the World Jungle Compound in Thousand Oaks California eventually being acquired by 20th Century Fox studios. This archive is a record of a new phase of the entertainment industry. unknown

Les premières années chaque revue comporte 30 pp. sur papier teinté; puis la pagination passe à 50 pp. avec une diminution pendant la guerre 39/45 sans cessation de parution. De très nombreuses publicités art-déco dans les années 30 qui font place au style année 50 après la guerre. La revue accueille toute documentation ou information concernant la glace ou les produits vitrifiés. Avec le verre comme axe directeur, la revue se veut le reflet de son utilisation dans les Arts Décoratifs et L'Architecture: créations de l'école Boulle; expositions des Arts Décoratifs; Expo de Barcelone; Paquebot Normandie; Salons des Artistes Décorateurs... Les exemples sont tirés de grands architectes ou décorateurs; Roux-Spitz; Le Corbusier; Ruhlman; Auguste Prunier; Frank Lloyd Wright; Etienne Cournault avec quelques interviews... Toutes les utilisations du verre sont abordées; coupoles; glaces bombées; façades rideaux; relief; vitraux; verre soufflé; miroirs divers, créations d'artistes; mais une part importante concerne des détails sur les techniques nécessaires à l'utilisation du verre. L'ensemble, entièrement vérifié, est en très bon état mais 8 N° ont de petits manques sans gravité; découpe d'une photo technique ou d'un article le plus souvent. Après guerre des hors -textes couleurs apparaissent. La périodicité est de deux mois sauf faits de guerre. Présentée comme une revue indépendante elle est en réalité, au début tout au moins, l'émanation de la Société "Le Comptoir des Ventes", grossistes en produits verriers. Le tirage annoncé était en 1928 de 15 000 exemplaires; la revue était disribuée gratuitement aux architectes ou professionnels utilisateurs de produits verriers. On joint 4 feuillets dactylographiés sur papier mince destinés aux représentant et démarcheurs de publicité pour la revue.. Ensemble (complet?) peu fréquent. Voir les photos.

Provenance: António Romão dos Passos 1866-1951 signature in ink Antonio Passos / agronomo or Anto R. Passos scrawled across both titles the first with price note and on six text leaves. <br /> <br /> Only edition of a comprehensive overview of the Portuguese silk industry by the judicial magistrate of the Moncorvo district and author of several works on political economy and history of law. José Antonio de Sá d. 1819 a native of Bragança was an important proponent of modernization of the industry and later served as director of the Royal Silk Factory Real Fábrica das Sedas founded in 1802 in Lisbon. He was one of the earliest members of the Academia Real das Sciencias of Lisbon.<br /> <br /> Silkworms were raised in Portugal as early as the 13th century. Sericulture and silk production were concentrated in the northeastern province of Trás-os-Montes its largest center being the city of Bragança which from the 15th to 17th century was known throughout Europe for its luxurious velvets. Because of the lack of government support for industry frequent wars and above all the persecutions of the Inquisition which decimated an industry in all sectors of which Jews or converted Jews cristãos-novos played a major role Portuguese silk production suffered from intermittent crises and was even periodically decimated. Starting in the 1770s efforts to revive the industry began to have an effect: <br /> <br /> “By the end of the 18th century the Trás-os-Montes silk industry had dragged itself out of the crisis that had begun in 1750-1755 coinciding with the last incursion of the Inquisition into Bragança and embarked upon a period of great development accompanying the industrial expansion that was then taking place not only in that particular region but throughout the Portuguese kingdom. After the Inquisition’s systematic persecution of businessmen weavers and throwers had finally come to an end the continuity and expansion of the silk industry seemed to be a viable prospect. In the last two decades of the 18th century a remarkable process of modernization took place thanks to the efforts of the businessmen involved in this economic activity such as António José Lopes Fernandes who installed 200 silk looms in Bragança magistrates such as José António de Sá and Pereira de Barros and politicians such as Martinho de Melo e Castro and Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho the latter being the Portuguese ambassador to Piedmont Italy. These efforts included the adoption of Piedmontese methods and techniques namely the organzine mill and the spinning-jenny the most advanced ones at that time in Europe in an operation led by experts coming to Portugal from that Italian region.†Sousa p. 6<br /> <br /> Sá’s work is in three parts. The first part comprises an overview of the history of silk production starting with Antiquity and summaries of the industry and government policies toward it in other countries followed by a detailed recommendation with responses to projected objections that the Portuguese government undertake a campaign to plant mulberry trees and promote the industry generally. Part two is a treatise on the silkworm and part three a technical survey of “the art of silk spinning.†Explained in the text pp. 142-148 is the letter- and number-keyed engraving of a rather fanciful machine showing a vat for softening the cocoons heating on the left from which a thread-unwinding mechanism feeds a loom on the right. <br /> <br /> The reason for the duplicated title-leaf in this copy is not clear. Perhaps one functioned as an upper wrapper — but as both titles are preceded by a half-title that appears unlikely. The book collector Antonio Romão dos Passos b. February 28 1866 was an engineer and agronomist. Other books from his library all on practical subjects are recorded; four are digitized by the Biblioteca Nacional Digital de Portugal. One a treatise on hemp has a similar indelicately scrawled signature across the title. <br /> <br /> OCLC gives six US locations.
