13256Used; Like New/Used; Like New. A remarkable and important collection of 178 original drawings designs and color samples by the Academy Award-nominated art director Franz Bachelin from the 1959 Jules Verne adaptation Journey to the Center of the Earth together with several original documents relating to the production of the film. The drawings include designs for almost every important location in the film from set designs for the opening scenes in 1880's Edinburgh with bagpipers on parade to action scenes of the whirlpool at the Earth's core the attack of a winged lizard and the lost city of Atlantis. 145 drawings are in black ink and graphite on 8.5 x 11" sheets hole-punched each labeled with a scene number and many with other indications; 5 are in colored pencil 9 x 8." A further 4 larger plans on tracing paper approx. 22-26 x 9" show Bachelin's meticulous planning of the final sequence of adventure scenes and the geographical location of the lost city of Atlantis! <br style="">Also with the drawings are 10 small cards 3 x 5 to 6 x 7" bearing vibrant sample color and texture schemes in marbleized patterns; 13 mimeographed 10 x 5" copies of drawings of the "prehistoric animal fight" showing dinosaurs battling it out in the water; and a lovely small painting of a tree and a sunset on card 5.5 x 4.5". <br style="">Together with the drawings are several documents from the production of the film including: a set construction estimate 4 pp.; May 12 1959; a large production cross plot showing the complete filming schedule over 52 days 1 p.; June 9 1959; a complete list of the crew members including a duck trainer! with phone numbers 1 p.; June 15 1959; a chart showing the total labor and materials costs for each of the elaborate set and location shoots - over $449000 2 pp.; December 3 1959; a typed copy of the film's credit 1 p.; n.d.; and a telegram inviting Bachelin to a pre-Academy Awards cocktail party for nominees 1 p.; n.d.<br style="">The drawings are in fine to very fine condition overall with only slight toning a few with slight tears or corner creases; one of the larger tracing paper drawings is in delicate condition with some creasing and tearing due to the paper. The documents are in good to fine condition some with toning creases and tears.<br>Overall a superb collection of drawings and materials from this iconic adventure film.<br style="">Journey to the Center of the Earth a loose adaptation by Charles Brackett from the novel by Jules Verne was directed by Henry Levin and starred James Mason Pat Boone and Arlene Dahl. Released in 1959 it was a box office success pleasing audiences with its fantastical plot sets and special effects a particular feature were iguanas with glued-on fins playing the part of dimetrodons! The film was nominated for three Academy Awards for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration Lyle R.

8 p. de catalogue éditeur, VIII-379 p broché, couverture imprimée de l'éditeur, emboîtage moderne 1823, 1823, in-8, 8 p. de catalogue éditeur, VIII-379 p, broché, couverture imprimée de l'éditeur, emboîtage moderne, PREMIÈRE ÉDITION publiée simultanément en français et en allemand (Geognostischer Versuch über die Lagerung der Gebirgsarten in beiden Erdhälften, Strasbourg, Levrault) du principal ouvrage géologique d'Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). Exemplaire enrichi, en couverture, d'un ENVOI DE L'AUTEUR, non signé. La comparaison graphologique ne laisse aucun doute sur sa paternité : "à Monsieur Juncker à Poullaouen, de la part de l'auteur". Chrétien-Auguste Juncker (1791-1865), savant et ingénieur en chef des Mines, fut directeur des mines de Poullaouen et Huelgoat, dans le Finistère, entre 1816-1841 ; Humboldt, qui y avait été accueilli en 1813, remarqua la grande ressemblance entre les "terres rouges" de ces mines et le minerai argentifère de Potosi au Pérou. Ce type de découverte sert le propos de son Essai géognostique, dans lequel il exprime sa pensée géologique et tente, pour la première fois, de comparer les roches de l'Ancien et du Nouveau Mondes. Si la doctrine "neptunienne" de son maître Werner s'aperçoit en filigrane, Humboldt a néanmoins pris ses distances. Il affirme la théorie magmatique du volcanisme et fait apparaitre deux concepts fondamentaux de la géologie dynamique : celui de roches endogènes (éruptives) et celui de roches exogènes (sédimentaires). Il démontre ainsi les relations entre le volcanisme et les structures terrestres. Première de couverture recollé. Manque angulaire en quatrième de couverture, déchirure sans manque à un feuillet.

First Edition is 1639, printed in Antwerp. This edition was edited by Father Cypriano da Treviso.

The second volume has two maps, one plate, and two plans (All are folded and huge sizes). The first map is one of the most attractive views of Jerusalem titled 'Novæ Ierosolymæ et Locorvm Circvmiacentivm Accvrata Imago'. Other is depicting attractively 'Montis Calvariæ' [i.e. Calvary, or Golgotha] which was, according to the canonical Gospels, a site immediately outside Jerusalem's walls where Jesus was crucified, as well as Bethlehem and Resurrection Temple's plans. Quaresmio was a writer and Orientalist of the seventeenth century. His father was the noble Alberto Quaresmi and his mother Laura Papa. At an early age, he was enrolled among the Franciscan Observantines at Mantua. For many years he held the chairs of philosophy, theology, and canon law, and became successively guardian, custos, and minister of his province. His long apostolate in the East and the magnificent works he has left us have secured Quaresmius worldwide fame, especially among earlier historians, Biblical scholars, and Orientalists. On 3 March 1616, he went to Jerusalem, where he became Guardian and Vice-Commissary Apostolic of Aleppo in Syria (1616-8), and Superior and Commissary Apostolic of the East (1618-9). During this period he was twice imprisoned by the Turks. In 1620 he returned to Europe, but in 1625 was back in Jerusalem, whence the following year he addressed from the Holy Sepulchre an appeal to Philip IV of Spain, inviting him to reconquer the Holy Land, and at the same time dedicating to him his work, "Hierosolymæ afflictæ". Between 1616 and 1626 he wrote his classical work, "Elucidatio terræ Sanctæ", adjudged by the learned a monumental contribution to history, geography, archæology, Biblical and moral science. During 1627-9 he was at Aleppo as papal commissary and as vicar-patriarch for the Chaldeans and Maronites of Syria and Mesopotamia. In 1629 he went to Italy to render an account to the Holy See of the state of the Eastern Churches; he then returned to the East, but how long he remained is not known. Meanwhile, he journeyed through Egypt and Sinai, the Holy Land, Syria, Mesopotamia, Cyprus, Rodi, Constantinople, and a large part of Asia Minor; he also visited Germany, France, Belgium, and Holland. In 1637 he was a guardian of S. Angelo (Milan), wherein 1643 he completed his other great work on the Passion of Christ. Original 1/3 black leather bdg. Six raised bands to spine. Marbled endpapers.
