002149Paris: Ernest Flammarion. Imprimerie Hemmerle Petit et Cie. Half Morocco over Boards with Decorated Paper Pasted Down. Very Good. N.d. circa 1910. 12mo. 346 pp. Although Renard's work inspired a number of famous artists Bonnard's simple deliberately naive-styled line drawings perfectly match the highly economic whimsy of the prose. Original wraps are bound in. The binding is particularly lovely with half green morocco and boards covered with a modernist abstract design. Minor rubbing along the joints. The pages are age toned. Overall a tight and clean copy. <br/><br/> Ernest Flammarion. Imprimerie Hemmerle, Petit et Cie. hardcover books

Jeff Goldblum Geena Davis John Getz dir: David Cronenberg: Twentieth Century Fox. <br /><br />The truism is that remakes of movies are inferior to the originals -- but not in this case!

WALTER-FILM000625No binding. Very Good. Photo Vintage original 10 x 8"" 25 x 20 cm. black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo. USA. George O'Brien Janet Gaynor Margaret Livingston dir: F.W. Murnau; Fox. The full title of this classic is Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans and that was most appropriate. It is the story of a young married farmer and his wife. When he falls under the spell of a city woman he attempts to take the life of his wife - but he cannot and they spend a wonderful day in the city together falling more in love with each other. The film likely is Murnau's greatest work and is to this day felt to be amongst the very finest of all silent films. It is the film which people come away from understanding the great artistic achievement of what silent motion picture-making was all about. It was greatly honored in its day as well basically winning an Academy Award during the very first Oscar ceremony for Best Picture Unique and Artistic Production - a very appropriate award indeed. Gaynor would win the first Best Actress award for this and two other films that year. Today it has the distinction of being the very first silent film to be released on Blu-ray. No explanation can do this film justice and it just needs to be experienced. Much of the film was shot on location in Big Bear and San Bernardino National Forest California. This image of O'Brien and Gaynor during their trip is from one of those locations. It is coded ""M-1-112"". Original stamped information about the film on the verso. There are minor creases at each of the four corners and some along the top blank white margin. The bottom left corner is chipped and there is a small tear at the center top blank white margin VERY GOOD-FINE. unknown books
