Original decorative end papers retained. No marks noted in text. Binding is tight and square. vi 580 p. . . . . . . . Regimental Losses in the American Civil War 1861-1865 is a large statistical study by Union veteran William F. Fox that quantifies combat and mortality in Union regiments using official federal and state military records. The opening chapters analyze the nature of Civil War casualties - distinguishing killed in action died of wounds and died of disease; calculating maximum numbers and percentages killed in single regiments and battles; and comparing losses among different arms of service infantry cavalry artillery and among white volunteer regular and United States Colored Troops units. Subsequent chapters identify what Fox terms the three hundred fighting regiments giving each a short historical sketch a list of its principal engagements and detailed tables of its killed and mortally wounded by company together with total enrollment and percentage lost - designed to show which organizations saw the heaviest and most continuous fighting. Much of the volume is devoted to regiment-by-regiment and state-by-state statistical tables that record for every Union regiment and battery the number killed or mortally wounded deaths from disease and other causes total deaths and in many cases losses in specific battles. Fox then broadens his treatment with chapters that aggregate casualties by army and corps present chronological lists of battles with their official casualty figures and estimate Confederate regimental and army losses for comparison drawing on the Official Records and other contemporary documentation.</p> Albany Publishing Company hardcover

189997129Paris: Floury 1899. Toulouse-Lautrec's masterpiece of the illustrated book First edition number 84 of 100 copies only one of the most celebrated and sought-after of all livres d'artiste some of Lautrec's finest illustrations and the prototype of nearly all modern bestiairies Garvey. Lautrec and Jules Renard met first in 1894. The artist asked to illustrate some of the charming and witty portraits of animals and his first sketches were made at the Jardin d'Acclimatation and Jardin des Plantes in 1896. The last two illustrations printed were executed by Lautrec while he was a patient at the Neuilly clinic of Dr Sémalaigne. Renard's Histoire naturelles "contains some of Toulouse Lautrec's most refined draftsmanship and with Yvette Guilbert it is considered one of the masterpieces of the illustrated book. It was Lautrec who requested the pleasure of illustrating Renard's bestiary and Renard agreed hoping for descriptions that 'would please the animals themselves'. The two creative personalities clashed. Lautrec resented the book's limitation to mundane animals while Renard although paid homage to by a cover design of a fox objected to a number of Lautrec's drawings. Today we are amazed that it took Floury twenty years to sell out the edition of 100 copies" Donson/Gripp. Small folio 310 x 220 mm.

Leaf with drop-head title and note above opening text printed text recto and verso on following leaves folded as issued. The rare first edition of the first announcement of William Henry Fox Talbot's calotype method - the negative / positive photographic process - the most important innovation in the history of photography.Although Talbot had announced his researches and progress in the field of what was to become photography in his 1839 lecture to the Royal Society 'Some Account of the Art of Photogenic Drawing . &c.' that lecture although ground-breaking dealt largely with the achievement of an image on treated paper and only alluded briefly to the possibility of a more versatile development. It was not until his 1841 lecture to the same body the title as per the present publication is 'The Process of Calotype Photogenic Drawing . &c.' that the details of his refinements and most particularly his successes with the negative / positive process were delineated. Those successes and Talbot's development of the resultant negative / positive process for photographic reproduction and duplication remained the predominant methodology in the field for more than 150 years; all subsequent refinements whether in the chemicals used differing methods for image capture printing and so on were merely variations on Talbot's original scheme. Talbot had patented his method in secret he was awarded 'Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent No. 8842' in February 1841 prior to his lecture to the Royal Society concerned by Arago's announcement of Daguerre's discoveries the efforts of Hippolyte Bayard and the priority of his own work.'In 1841 William Henry Fox Talbot announced an improvement of his photogenic drawing process which he named 'calotype' from the Greek meaning 'beautiful picture'. Previously he had allowed his sensitized paper to remain exposed to light until an image became visible. He now made a remarkable discovery: a much shorter exposure so changed the characteristics of the silver salts that they could be reduced to silver by chemical after-treatment. This principle of the 'development of the latent image' is basic to most subsequent photographic processes . To make a calotype negative Talbot bathed a sheet of paper in two solutions one of silver nitrate the other of potassium iodide . After exposure the paper was bathed again in this solution a mixture of gallic acid and silver nitrate which acted as a physical developer and gradually brought out the image . He printed them the resultant negative with his original silver chloride paper.' Beaumont Newhall. 'Privately printed for the author for distribution to friends and editors.' Gernsheim.'Between 1835 and 1839 Talbot and Henneman continued their experiments motivated by a desire . for reproducing images from nature. Following Arago’s announcement to the Académie des Sciences 7 January 1839 of the existence of Daguerre’s photographic process Talbot became concerned over the priority of his work; he frantically sought to improve his process prior to the disclosure of Daguerre’s . In 1840 Talbot would develop a latent image on paper and he called this new process the calotype. He patented and then disclosed the process in a paper presented to the Royal Society in June of 1841 . '. DSB.Talbot's document is scarce: COPAC locates no copies in the UK and the catalogue for the British Library reports no example; OCLC lists two copies in Germany at Marburg and Stuttgart's Staatsgalerie and four in the US at Syracuse Columbia Harvard and Princeton.The document was reprinted with an altered title 'The Process of Talbotype formerly called Calotype Photogenic Drawing . &c. in 1846.Gernsheim 655; see Beaumont Newhall's 'The Calotype: The Pencil of Nature' in 'The History of Photography' New York 1997 pg. 43.
