Limp leatherette with title and recipient name stamped in gilt to upper cover. Large black quarter morocco clamshell box gilt. 100 pp of typed documents and an additional 50 album leaves mounted with approximately 50 photographs various sizes and processes and various documents. 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
1979013766Baiwan Village Beijing: China Architecture & Building Press 1979. Presumed First Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Stiff glossy paper covers measures 10.25 inches 26 cm x 14.5 inches 37 cm with 22 architectural drawings almost all full page and mainly in full color. We could find no record of this publication outside of China. The text is entirely in Chinese. The Google translation of the text on the fifth photograph is as follows: "Architectural drawing is an important means for architectural designers to express their design intentions explore design plans and improve their artistic accomplishments. In their design practice many architectural designers have drawn a large number of architectural drawings and they also often do architectural sketches. This album is selected from the drawings sent to our agency by many architectural designers and art workers across the country. After our agency issued a notice to collect architectural drawings in March this year many architectural designers and teachers from the Department of Architecture of colleges and universities responded enthusiastically and sent more than 1700 works. Our agency invited relevant experts to form an architectural painting selection committee to evaluate these works. The selection committee was composed of the following comrades: Bai Zuomin Qi Kang Zhu Ying Hua Yiyu Du Rujian Wu Liangyong He Zhenqiang Zhang Kaiji Zhong Xunzheng Xi Xiaopeng Huang Yuanqiang Peng Yigang and Dai Nianci. After repeated evaluation more than 200 excellent works were selected. When selecting the proportion of the number of works of each type of painting was appropriately considered. This album will be published on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. We hope that this album can reflect the great achievements of my country's socialist construction from one aspect and at the same time we also hope that this album can play a role in exchanging architectural painting techniques and improving the artistic quality of architectural designers.
