194238107Suffern NY: School of Living 1942. First Edition. Staple-bound pamphlet 22cm x 12cm. Printed paper wrappers; 16pp. Very mild toning at extremities else fresh and unmarked; Near Fine. Ralph Borsodi 1886-1977 along with Helen and Scott Nearing and J.I. Rodale is considered one of the apostles of the American "back to the land" movement of postwar era. His School of Living founded in Suffern New York in 1936 provided hands-on instruction to families interested in agrarian self-sufficiency. It also functioned as a loosely communistic co-operative society with sixteen families occupying and farming two-acre plots; land ownership remained with the community. School of Living communities survived in various locations until 1986.<br/><br/>The current pamphlet offers a decentralist plan for permanent peace addressed to "the teachers of mankind." Acknowledges that if we must choose between the American way of life and the one which Hitler would impose upon us American democracy is preferable; but insists that the world's current leaders are incompetent to draft or even conceive a lasting peace settlement following the defeat of Nazism. ".they may be great men in spite of . grave flaws but they are not great enough to be trusted after the war is won when they no longer need to court public opinion in the matter to frame the peace."

194018749Warren County NJ: Franklin Grove School. Near Fine. 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . no dust jacket likely as issued faint diagonal scrape across front cover more distinctive in scanned image than it appears to the naked eye otherwise no significant wear. line drawings glued-in original calligraphy pg. A history of printing with special focus on the process of producing newspapers compiled as a school project by a group of New Jersey students -- junior high-schoolers to judge by the general tone and quality of the prose. The history itself is basic term-paper stuff illustrated with crude drawings and maps but the most interesting reading is the 7-page preface entitled "How We Came To Write This Book" in which it's discussed how the students' interest in newspapers led them to a broader range of inquiry into the development of printing which involved visits to the local newspaper office the county library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. They even went so far as to experiment with making their own paper. There is no printer or binder specified although the preface does allude to how this got done: "Miss Weber the teacher typed the book. We spent two days binding it. This was the dummy that we sent to Mr. Earl Miss Weber's friend who offered to reproduce it for us." And a nice job Mr. Earl did too with black pebbled boards a gold-embrossed title and patterned endpapers. There can't have been many of these produced; OCLC locates copies in just two libraries worldwide. . (Franklin Grove School) hardcover books

305Augsburg. Original Drawing for Book Illustration. 160 x 197 mm. 6 ¼ X 7 ¾ inches. Drawn on blue paper laid down on 19th century paper. Black double fillet ink border. Shows some light wear but otherwise in very good condition. An attractive and well executed drawing in brown and white ink which illustrates the Book of Life surrounded by figures which probably illustrate the four seasons. This motif is crowned by a chorus of angels and saints also drawn in fine detail. Originally thought to be an Italian drawing the small-scale figures and the delicate pen strokes suggest the Augsburg School of the mid-18th century. Artists like Johann Wolfgang Baumgartner Joseph Christ and Godfried Göz all painters of considerable skill and reputation who also worked closely with local publishers creating designs for prints and book illustrations. The choice of blue paper and the application of white ink to heighten the image is typical of Augsburg style of the 1750's. For further information see Thomas Kaufmann's monograph Central European Drawings 1680-1800. Princeton 1989 and an essay by Peter Stoll in OPUS "Empire of Prints. The Imperial City of Augsburg and the Printed Image in the 17th and 18th Centuries" 2016. Both works are well illustrated and show examples of the drawings and prints from Augsburg artists during the period. unknown books
