1956004251Barcelona: Gremio de Libreros de Barcelona 1956. First edition. NA. Fine. A most unusual promotion for an antiquarian book fair! 43.5 by 31.5 cm. 30 cells with cartoon drawings recounting the life of an 100 year old book -- the actual physical object -- from its first sale to its appearance at an antiquarian book fair! The story is in the tradition of "Black Beauty" "The Memoirs of an Umbrella" or "The Yellow Rolls Royce" all concerning the ups and downs incident to different owners and in the case of the latter two there is the commonality of the personification of an inanimate thing. Here the book starts in Barcelona and in its circuitous path that takes it all the way to Paris and the Eiffel Tower and a Seine "bouquinist" comes to rest finally again in Barcelona in a stall at the Feria Annual del Libro de Occasion Antiguo y Moderno still an annual event held by the local booksellers' guild and thus one of the oldest running antiquarian book fairs today. We note that this is a story arc that resembles that of "Black Beauty". The format of the broadside is called "auca" which is an uniquely Catalan graphic format. The captions by Eroles are all three line rhymed couplets in Spanish. In 1972 Eroles wrote and published in Catalan a book on bookselling in Barcelona called "Memoires d'un llibre vell". The broadside can not be found in OCLC. <br/><br/> Gremio de Libreros de Barcelona unknown books

1408419th century albumen photograph of the interior of Mosque of Omar Dome of the Rock and the Foundation Stone. 11" x 8.5". Unmounted. Image shows a view of the foundation stone in the foreground with the intricately decorated architecture of the dome in the background. The Mosque of Omar is located in Jerusalem and was built between 685-691 and is important for the Muslim Christian and Jewish faithes. The Foundation Stone the temple was built over bears great significance in the Abrahamic religions as the place where God created the world and the first human Adam.4 It is also believed to be the site where Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son and as the place where God's divine presence is manifested more than in any other place towards which Jews turn during prayer. The site's great significance for Muslims derives from traditions connecting it to the creation of the world and the belief that Muhammad's Night Journey to heaven started from the rock at the center of the structure. The Dome is located on the Haram al-Sharif an enormous open-air platform that now houses Al-Aqsa mosque madrasas and several other religious buildings. Few places are as holy for Christians Jews and Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif. It is the Temple Mount the site of the Jewish second temple which the Roman Emperor Titus destroyed in 70 CE while subduing the Jewish revolt; a Roman temple was later built on the site. The Temple Mount was abandoned in Late Antiquity. The photo shows the interior of the Mosque colonnades are seen in the photo are around the Rock and are clad in marble on their lower registers and their upper registers are adorned with mosaics.
