"Errata" for Tom 1 sic. First title page with unobtrusive paper defect on lower margin not affecting text; this copy is lacking half-title and Errata leaf for Tom. 2. Very attractive 19th-century French red glazed boards red morocco spine lettered in gilt directly two insignificant worm-holes on lower hinge leading nowhere; trifle wear to binding extremities. Completely unsophisticated. First printing of "Telliamed" in every way a remarkable book. Disguised as an Oriental fantasy it contains perhaps the earliest appearance of one of the most important of all evolution speculations namely the so-called ultra-neptunian theory: that the entire Earth was and is a marine deposit and that all life on land originated from creatures of the sea. Maillet hypothesized that the earth was once entirely covered with water and that the water gradually evaporated into space causing land masses to appear. Maillet also created an ingenious methodology to calculate the age of the Earth: he concluded that the Earth is 2 billion years old evolutionists today consider this figure to be more like 4.5 billion. It is known that Buffon Lamark Cuvier and Darwin read this book and that they were very much influenced by Maillet's unorthodox heretical views. Well aware that such an immense figure would incur the wrath of the Church de Maillet presented his conclusions in the guise of a dialogue between a French missionary and an Eastern mystic named Telliamed i.e. de Maillet spelled backwards. The manuscript remained unpublished until a decade after Maillet's death. In order to present his radical conclusions in the guise of an Oriental tale Maillet interspersed monsters and mythological creatures into his text. Overtly anti-Christian "Telliamed" dismisses the Flood of the Old Testament as a fable because rainfall that lasted forty days would have been insignificant to submerge entire mountains. Maillet asserted that the Earth's history could not be read from the Bible but through the rocks themselves. ¶ With uncanny prescience Maillet describes how species have overlapping physical characteristics that suggested a common life origin namely the sea. Through a Oriental mystic we are told that: "The little Wings had under their Belly and which like their Fins helped them to walk in the Sea became Feet and served them to walk on Land." ¶ REFERENCES: Caillet No. 7009.

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.
