Jean GEISER
Album photographique contenant 28 portraits d'Algériens finement rehaussés à l'aquarelle Photographic album containing 28 portraits of Algerians finely enhanced with watercolour
Alger Algiers 1870. Fine. Alger Algiers s. d. circa 1870 13 x 17 cm 28 portraits sur cartes de visite consignés dans un album Photographic album containing 28 portraits of Algerians finely enhanced with watercolour Algiers ca 1870 Album: 13 x 17 cm / photographs: 6.3 x 10.4 cm 28 carte de visite portraits in an album Photographic album comprising 28 photograph portraits in contemporary albumen print pasted on card in carte-de-visite format. These photographs well contrasted and finely enhanced with watercolour at the time are of great intensity: the models stare at the photographer's lens with pride and nobility. Binding in full black grained leather metal clasp all edges gilt. Rubbing. Superb photographic testimony by one of the first European photographers established in Algeria. A Swiss expatriate in Algeria Jean Geiser 1848-1923 was immersed in photography from childhood. In 1852 his mother joined forces with Antoine Alary one of the pioneers of Algerian photography; together they founded a studio which lasted until 1867 when Jean Geiser took charge. Initially specialising in portraits of the city's European bourgeois the photographer quickly understood the city's interest for folk images. These rare and magnificent typical portraits depicting all the layers of the indigenous populations from street children to caïd are today sought after for their ethnographic value testimony of an Algeria at the dawn of colonisation. hardcover

Richard KIRWAN - Marie-Anne Pierrette LAVOISIER [NeE PAULZE] - Antoine Laurent LAVOISIER
Essai sur le Phlogistique et sur la constitution des Acides Essay on Phlogiston
Paris: S. n. 1788. Fine. S. n. Paris 1788 12.50 x 20 cm relié Essai sur le Phlogistique et sur la constitution des Acides Essay on Phlogistonn. p. Paris 1788 8vo 12.5 x 20 cm xij ; 344 pp.; 4 p. contemporary half sheep First edition and sole publication of the French translation and critical analysis under the direction of Madame Lavoisier of this text published in English the previous year under the title An Essay on Phlogiston and the Constitution of Acids. The work is made up of twelve sections all followed by critical notes by Louis-Bernard Guyton de Morveau Pierre Simon de Laplace & Gaspard Monge & Claude Louis Berthollet & Antoine François de Fourcroy. Contemporary half light brown sheep over marbled paper boards smooth leather spine decorated with gilt fillets and fleurons morocco leather title piece. Very skillfully restored joints. Interior in very good condition except for two marks left by bookmarks on pages 68-69 and 176-177. Rare autograph inscription by Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier to Joseph Louis de Lagrange prominent mathematician and loyal friend to Antoine Lavoisier. Valuable record of the leading role played by Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier in the chemical revolution at the dawn of the French Revolution. Phlogiston theory emerged at the end of the 17th century conceived by Johann Becker and developed by Georg Ernst Stahl postulating the existence of a flame element inherent in combustible bodies and released during combustion. This hypothesis was completely refuted by Lavoisier who revealed the role of oxygen in the combustion process thus inventing the theory of oxidation. Irritated by Lavoisier's skepticism with regard to phlogiston theory the eminent Irish chemist Richard Kirwan published this text titled Essay on Phlogiston. . The French chemists who rallied around Lavoisier decided to respond by translating An Essay on Phlogiston into French. Keiko Kawashima Madame Lavoisier et la traduction française de l'Essay on phlogiston de Kirwan in Revue d'histoire des sciences 2000. This text far from being a simple translation of Kirwan's work adopted the form of a manifesto in itself in which the greatest chemists of the day contested phlogiston theory dissecting its advocates' arguments one by one. The huge success of the French translation led Kirwan to attempt to refute the objections of Lavoisier and his collaborators. In 1789 he published a second edition of his work translating the French notes written by its detractors into English and adding his own refutations. He finally converted to the ideas of the anti-phlogisticians the founders of modern organic chemistry. Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze Mme Lavoisier played a key role in the career of her husband who taught her chemistry at her request; she then became his assistant recording the experiments he carried out and their results. She very quickly took on a role that went beyond that of the devoted wife becoming a translator but also a writer: many of the notes in the Essai sur le phlogistique were written by her. At the height of her involvement it was she in her capacity as a skilled illustrator who drew all the plates in Traité élémentaire de chimie 1789 appending her signature Paulze Lavoisier Sculpsit on this occasion. This specimen includes a rare autograph inscription by the translator Mme Lavoisier to Joseph Louis de Lagrange 1736-1813 one of her husband's closest friends. It was Lavoisier who aroused the interest of Lagrange in the new science of chemistry. Together they participated in the development of a metric system that standardized weights and measures which came to light during the Revolution. Working for the revolutionary government Lagrange had more opportunities than his chemist friend who was executed as a victim of the Terror. When he learned that Lavoisier had been killed at the guillotine the mathematician declared: It took them only an instant to cut off Lavo S. n. hardcover

Nadja
Paris: Nrf 1928. Fine. Nrf Paris 1928 12 x 19 cm relié First edition one of 796 numbered copies on pur fil paper the only grands papiers deluxe copies after 109 reimposed. Full green board Bradel binding title piece in glazed yellow calf covers and spine preserved contemporary binding. Presentation copy inscribed by André Breton: à Edmond Jaloux hommage très dévoué. André Breton To Edmond Jaloux a very devoted tribute. André Breton. Edmond Jaloux who was one of the earliest promoters of surrealism wrote at the release of this atypical novel and misunderstood by most of his contemporaries the most laudatory article of the time concluding with this admiring admission of the impotence of criticism in the face of the modernity of Breton's work; this examination I can sense it remains outside the book and in no ways gives you the feeling of intense poetry of great free and true poetry which absolves Nadja and which affects your mind . like an extremely intoxicating alcohol with this difference that no alcohol gives you dreams that stimulate the moving prose of Monsieur André Breton. Precious grand papier deluxe copy with a handwritten inscription from the author and filled with the original article by Edmond Jaloux pasted on two loose double leaves. Nrf unknown

An envelope attached containing in black ink Breton's handwritten notes reused in his manuscript. Important and long manuscripts of this article which will be published in the first issue of La Tour Saint-Jacques in November 1955. 1955: with this text entitled Magie quotidienne Breton gives a distant echo to the beautiful phrase the wonderful daily which closed the first chapter of Le Paysan de Paris in 1926. But far from Aragon passed to Stalinism it is to the young Jean-Louis Bédouin that a text is dedicated which may appear as one of the sketches of Breton's great project that year a book dedicated to L'Art magique. For the time being it is to the fascinating game of correspondence formerly understood under the Hegelian category of objective chance that these pages are devoted which will appear accompanied by a long letter from G.D. Georgina Dubreuil in the first issue of La Tour Saint-Jacques in November. Breton Archives This long manuscript abundantly corrected and made up of six parts defined by dates from 21 to 26 February 1955 takes the form of a diary recounting troubling coincidences encountered by the writer. unknown

(Charles BAUDELAIRE) - NADAR [Felix TOURNACHON]
Photographie de Charles Baudelaire les mains dans les poches : ""Vu de face il paraît plus souffrant et plus triste qu'à la précédente épreuve. "" Photographic portrait of Charles Baudelaire with his hands in his pockets
Paris: Nadar 1862. Fine. Nadar Paris 1862 5.10 x 8.50 cm une photographie Extremely rare original photograph showing Charles Baudelaire on albumen paper contemporary print in carte de visite format mounted on a board from the Nadar workshop 35 boulevart sic des Capucines; Photographic portrait for us taken by Nadar. Taken the same day as the previous one same dimensions same clothes. The waistcoat is still unbuttoned but Baudelaire hides his hands in the pockets of his trousers. Seen face on he seems more troubled and sadder than in the previous attempt. Ourousof 1896 Another carte de visite from the same day as the previous no. 41 . a contemporary albumen print found in the Musée d'Orsay collections Provenance: from the Braive collection then the Marie-Thérèse and André Jammes collection 1991 acquired by the Musées Nationaux with the support of the Heritage fund . Musée d'Orsay fiche 39389 S. Plantureux Charles Baudelaire ou le rêve d'un curieux. This photo taken in 1862 was sold between 1862 and 1871 as evidenced by the photographer's address on the back of the board. Only two of Baudelaire's poses seem to have been retained from this session. If photography is allowed to replace art in some of its functions it will soon have replaced or corrupted it altogether thanks to the natural alliance it will find with the multitude of nonsense wrote Charles Baudelaire in the Salon de 1859. We know of only fifteen different photographic portraits of Baudelaire taken between 1855 and 1866 three sessions at Nadar three at Carjat and one at Neyt for some of which there remains only one copy. Baudelaire and Nadar met in 1843 and their friendship endured until the poet's death in 1867. The photographer shot a total of seven portraits of his friend between 1855 and 1862. The two men full of admiration for one another paid each other moving tributes in their respective works: Baudelaire dedicated Le rêve d'un curieux The dream of a curious man in Les Fleurs du Mal to the photographer who dedicated to him in addition to the photographic caricatures and portraits an unvarnished work titled Charles Baudelaire intime: le poète vierge 1911. Extremely rare and beautiful copy of this little-known photograph of Baudelaire by the most important French photographer of the 19th century. Nadar hardcover

[CHINESE-AMERICANA HANDBILL] BRODSKY, BENJAMIN
Real Life in China. A Trip Through the Mysterious Forbidden City Over the Great Wall of China and Other Famous Places.
San Francisco.: Atlas Printing Co. 416 S. Dearborn St. Circa1915. Printed handbill 4pp bifolium 20 x 14cms four black and white photographic illustrations and text within borders original folds small edge tears early pencilled annotation "Milwaukee -- 1915" at the foot of the front page and a couple of interior doodles a little dusty especially at the folds but overall in very good condition. Exceedingly scarce unrecorded handbill advertising Benjamin Brodsky's documentary "Real Life in China.the most interesting and educational photoplay ever produced in 8 big reels" and only the first of a two part film intended to be shown with a lecture by Brodsky himself. The handbill claims "Mysteries are mysteries no longer under the searching eye of the camera and the walled in and superstition-locked glories of China are brought forth as evidence of the real wonder of the celestial empire". <br> <br>The four captioned photographic illustrations show: A pagoda; Pumping water on the rice fields; Grinding the Rice and a Chinese Prisoner in stocks. <br> <br>The US National Film Preservation Foundation on whose site a remarkable fragment of the film has been preserved and is viewable notes that: <br> <br>"On the eve of World War I as the political struggles in China made the news Americans knew little about the vast and mysterious country of more than four hundred million people. But by the end of 1917 there were at least 10 documentaries available to satisfy curiosity about America’s new ally in the Far East. Virtually all were short subjects that like the Burton Holmes travelogues from Paramount played alongside features. Travel shorts with a more educational slant continued in circulation through schools and nonprofit groups for years afterward. <br> <br>Of these offerings the hugely ambitious Trip through China was “so vastly different from the general run of tour films that it stands in a class by itself” wrote Motion Picture News. Five years in the making or a less probable ten in some tellings the documentary was the brainchild of Benjamin Brodsky a widely traveled Russian-born businessman who claimed to speak 11 languages. According to a 1912 Moving Picture World profile the young entrepreneur had moved to China from San Francisco after the 1906 Earthquake and set up shop as a film exhibitor. A Trip through China was probably fashioned from the 20000 feet of negative that Brodsky brought back to San Francisco in 1915. Versions screened locally nine months later and in Los Angeles the following year. When distribution went national in March 1917 the ten-reeler was heralded as a “revelation.” .
