1890502San Francsico California: Pacific Rolling Mill Company 1890. 8vo. 250 x 170 mm. 10 x 7 inches. 100 pp. plus 4 leaves of ruled paper 2 with measurements in manuscript. Illustrated throughout with simple drawings of parts many stenciled with green wash; one plate folding. Bound in limp cloth covered boards title in gilt on front cover; a cloth binding shows some wear to gilt title two pencil drawings on front endpaper; other a very good sound copy. Straight forward price list of iron bar steel rail rolled and forged metal axles nuts bolts washers and dozens of other metal products. There is no introduction about the history of the firm just images of parts prices and a few lines of text describing specifications for some of the more complicated manufacture items. What distinguishes this rare trade catalogue is the design sense of many of the images and the application of stenciled color to highlight the object. The printed form of the parts are in outline and as one pages through the catalogue the images take on an abstract quality. Metal parts become contoured shapes with form being determined only by the light green wash applied to the physical part of the design. Although unintentional I am sure this late 19th century publication replete with many of the characteristics of period book design exhibits a very modernist feel one that is most unusual in publications of this nature. Although called the 7th edition this is only one of three issues of the PRMC's product guide and price list that is known. Organized in 1867 PRMC grew continuously and by 1892 was producing more than 40 thousand tons of iron and steel. "This giant enterprise is so closely identified with the manufacturing interests of the Pacific Coast that there is scarcely a manufacturing firm or corporation on the Coast that does not depend upon its output. The mills are located at Potrero Point in South San Francisco and cover an immense area" Master Hands.

Gray boards with illustrated dj 256 pp profusely illustrated in color illustrations. Published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Tate Modern London 26 September 2008-1 February 2009 and the Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art Sakura 21 February-14 June 2009. A leading figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement Mark Rothko 1903-1970 is widely seen as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century. His paintings are famous for the intense emotional responses they elicit from viewers. Shortly before his death Rothko donated nine large-scale works to Tate on the condition that they would always hang together in their own space separate from the work of other artists. This is how the Rothko Room one of the highlights of Tate's collection was born. These paintings form part of a larger series known as The Seagram Murals which were originally intended for the Four Seasons restaurant in New York a commission from which Rothko famously withdrew. Now in this landmark reassessment The Seagram Murals are reunited and cast in a new light by leading international critics including Briony Fer David Anfam and Morgan Thomas. With revealing new research this groundbreaking book challenges the mythology surrounding Rothko and his work. Includes bibliographical references pages 241-248 and index. Tate Pub/ Harry N. Abrams hardcover books
