Sleeping Beauty Collection of five photographs from the 1979 rerelease of the 1959 film
Burbank CA: Walt Disney Productions 1979. Collection of five studio still photographs one of which is a compilation photograph of two images from the 1979 rerelease of the 1959 film. <br/><br/>Based on the story "La Bell au bois Dormant" "The Sleeping Beauty" from the 1697 book "Histoires ou contes du temps passe" by Charles Perrault which laid the foundation for the fairy tale deriving the tales from earlier folk tales.<br/><br/>Walt Disney's last adaptation of a fairy tale in his lifetime due to lackluster boxoffice performance and mixed critical response largely because of similarities with 1937 "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" now an undeniable classic in the Disney's pantheon of animated features. Nominated for an Academy Award.<br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.<br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request.<br/><br/>National Film Registry. Walt Disney Productions unknown books

Cinderella and The Sleeping Beauty differed from Rackhams' preceding books in relying almost wholly for their effect on silhouette. It is immediately clear that Rackham is a master of the medium being able to evoke character and humour by profile and gesture alone and allowing the two-dimensional effect of his pen work to lead the reader through the book and keep the story going. Silhouette books even with additional colours had lower production costs than their colour plate equivalents and so were an attractive option both for publishers and customers in the uncertain post-war market."

Mesure de la terre. 12 91 1; 2 30 2pp. Frontispiece and 14 plates by Sébastien LeClerc Mémoires; 5 plates Mesure. With: Perrault. Suite des mémoires pour servir à l'histoire des animaux. 4 93-205 3pp. 15 engraved plates by LeClerc. Together 3 works in 2 vols. double folio. Paris: Imprimerie Royale 1671-76. 561 x 403 mm. Mottled calf ca. 1676 rebacked arms of Louis XIV in gilt on front and back covers light wear edge of Vol. II back cover a little bumped. A few leaves creased light marginal dampstains on 2 or 3 plates but very good. 19th century armorial bookplate; bookplate of Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow.</p> <p> First Editions. Perrault was the leader of a team of comparative anatomists that included Guichard Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire; they were often called the "Parisians" in contemporary literature because of their membership in the Académie Royale des Sciences. Their investigations began with a thresher shark and lion from the royal menagerie and went on to encompass forty-nine vertebrate species. "Although some of the discoveries on which the Parisians most prided themselves—including the nictitating membrane that Perrault first observed in a cassowary the external lobation of the kidneys in the bear and the castoreal glands of the beaver—had been observed earlier no such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. In the spirit of rationalism Perrault and his team investigated and debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. They also recorded their methods of work along with their results providing the only contemporary disclosure of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century.</p> <p> The Mémoires were originally issued in two parts in 1671 and 1676 as in our copy; they were later reissued in 1676 with slight changes as one volume with a new title-leaf. The two volumes of the Mémoires contain descriptions of twenty-nine species including the lion the chameleon the shark the lynx the porcupine the eagle the cormorant and the ostrich. Our copy was bound for presentation by Louis XIV patron of the Académie des Sciences; a significant portion of the edition was bound this way. </p> <p>Vol. I of our copy also includes the first edition of Jean-Félix Picard's Mesure de la terre 1671 which contains the first reasonably accurate calculation of the size of the Earth. Picard based his calculation on his measurements of a degree of latitude along the Paris meridian. Using sophisticated instruments Picard obtained a value for the Earth's polar radius of 6328.9 kilometers only 0.44% below the correct value of 6357 km.; his results were thirty to forty times more precise than any that had been obtained previously.

Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the bread-bin and come and lie down with me
Sussex: 1933. A Wonderful Pen and Ink Drawing from Arthur Rackham's Little Red Riding Hood.<br/><br/>RACKHAM Arthur artist. "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the bread-bin and come and lie down with me." Sussex 1933. <br/><br/>Original pen-and-ink drawing signed "A Rackham" on lower left-hand corner for the full-page drawing on page 275 in the The Arthur Rackham Fairy Book. London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd. 1933. <br/><br/>Image size: 4 3/8 x 6 1/8 inches; 112 x 157 mm. Matted framed and glazed 15 7/8 x 13 5/8 inches; 404 x 346 mm.<br/><br/>This wonderfully executed pen and ink drawing depicts the moment when Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf dressed up as her Grandmother. The wolf is in her Grandmother's bed and tells Little Red Riding Hood to "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the bread-bin and come and lie down with me". Of course the rest is history !!<br/><br/>The wolf is dressed in a mop cap wearing glasses and hiding behind the curtains of the bed. Grandmother's slippers are sitting neatly on the floor by the bed and next to the bed there is a candle and a bowl on a small table. Little Riding Hood is dressed in her riding hood holding some flowers she has picked for her Grandmother and carrying a large basket with the pot of butter sticking out of it.<br/><br/>As always Rackham has created a moment in time - one which is universally recognized.<br/><br/>"Little Red Riding Hood" is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Its origins can be traced back to the 10th century to several European folk tales including one from Italy called The False Grandmother Italian: La finta nonna later written among others by Italo Calvino in the Italian Folk Tales collection. The best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and then later by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Arthur Rackham chose the original Charles Perrault version.<br/><br/>The Moral of the Story. Children especially attractive well bred young ladies should never talk to strangers for if they should do so they may well provide dinner for a wolf. [Sussex]: , 1933 unknown books

Puss in Boots by Charles Perrault. A Picture Book Illustrated by Barry Wilkinson.
Cleveland: The World Publishing Company 1969. First American Edition. Oblong octavo full-color illus. boards hardcover full-color illus. endpapers unpaginated 26 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: When the miller died he left nothing at all to his youngest son except -- of all things -- a cat. Unhappy with his meader lot the boy despaired of ever earning a livelihood for himself. But to his surprise the cat spoke up and offered to help him in return for only a sack and a pair of boots. With these he proposed to seek his young master’s fortune. And from his fist visit to the king bearing a plump white rabbit as a gift to the mysterious disappearance of the fearsome ogre Puss proved himself to be the most ingenious of cats and a treasure indeed. Charles Perrault first set down this delctable tale in 1697; its rollicking humor made it an instant and perennial favorite. Now at last if finds its perfect expression in a translation which follows closely PErrault’s original version and in Barry Wilkinson’s warm and gleeful illustrations which reinterpret for today’s children the vitality and beauty of seventeenth-century France in striking design and glowing stained-glass colors.

Perrault and the team of Parisians prided themselves on several discoveries and in the process debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. The scientists also recorded how they obtained their results providing a glimpse of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century. The work is illustrated beautifully with five large folding plates by the expert painter engraver and writer Sebastian Leclerc 1637-1714 four of which were engraved by Leclerc and one by the watercolor painter writer and printmaker Abraham Bosse c. 1604-1676. Very fine work; the large folding plates remain fresh and intact. No such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before. It is hard to measure another such important addition to the anatomical study of animals. Frederic Leonard hardcover books

Paris: Par La Compagnie des Libraires 1734. Hardcover. Very Good. Three volumes comprising Vol. III parts I to III of Memoires de lAcadémie Royale des Sciences depuis 1666 jusquà 1699. Paris: Par La Compagnie des Libraires 1733-1734. Part I: 231pp.; Part II: 294pp.; Part III: 215pp. 97 engraved folding plates depicting animals and skeletal diagrams. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Claude Perrault in first volume. Contemporary French calf spines gilt edges red; some occasional browning; repairs to joints some rubbing. Unidentified armorial bookplate to front pastedown beneath monogrammed bookplate D.P. with chipmunk and two mice. A later reduced format edition of Perraults Memoires of 1671-1676 Perraults study of this nature was first published in 1669 with the results of investigations of five animals and later expanded with studies of over forty animals. Prior to 1670 most descriptions of animals paid little attention to their internal structure and there were very few images in natural history encyclopedias that depicted skeletons or muscles. That changed with the establishment of the Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert with the approval of King Louis XIV. The Academy functioned with neither statutes nor regulations until 1699. At that time the Academy used the term mathématique to encompass the fields that are now called astronomy mathematics and physics and the term physique to encompass the fields that are now called anatomy botany zoology and chemistry. In January 1699 Louis reorganized the Academy giving it first regulations. The effect was to give the King more control over their activities in exchange for becoming an official institution under his protection with the new name Académie Royale des Sciences. One of the original academicians the physician Claude Perrault organized regular sessions at which participants could dissect deceased animals from Louis XIVs royal menagerie and record all they observed. Lions chameleons bears gazelles wolves ostriches crocodiles monkeys eagles tigers porcupines and salamanders among some were all laid open by the academics scalpels. These superb folding plates record in great detail the pioneering work at the Academy. These three volumes in three parts focus on the transformative and foundational years of the French Royal Academy of Sciences and Claude Perraults efforts which had made comparative anatomy a vital tool for the classifying naturalist. <br/><br/> Par La Compagnie des Libraires hardcover books
