Ansel Adams wrote of Weston's photography that "To see to react to create these are the fundamentals of all art production. But also to share is the measure of the great artist and the great person. In both his magnificent photographs and in the confidences and clarifications of his Daybook Edward Weston takes us into himself and shares with us his particular mirror of beauty and compassion." Edward Weston wrote: "Through photography I would present the significance of facts so they are transformed from things seen to things known. Wisdom controlling the means--the camera--makes manifest this knowledge this revelation in from communicable to the spectator. A New York Graphic Society Book. Little, Brown and Company hardcover

Some prints of Madrid and Barcelona were produced by printers of Spanish graphic art Hauser and Menet in 1896 and 1897.With an Antwerp bookseller's ticket on the front paste-down.

This magazine was only published for a short time though it managed to include stories by important literary figures wonderful photomontage and avant garde photo foldouts strange erotica tales of urban life reports on "sexual life among the proletariat" etc. etc. Under the broad rubric of "ero-guro nonsensu" the literary and artistic scenes of pre-War Japan as embodied here in CRIMINOLOGY MAGAZINE explored the margins.

As might be expected the editor Imada Kingo was a multitalented writer and artist both who became best known for his children's stories. With wear at the tail of the spine else very good. Especially noteworthy are the photos reproduced done by Horino Masao the important avant-garde photographer. Interesting and very unusual publication. unknown

Holy carpet.
1900. Mounted on cardboard. Various sizes. With two stereographic cards and one photographic print. Collection of three early twentieth century photographs taken by American photographers showing the holy carpet and a street scene in Yemen. The holy carpet was woven every year by the best Egyptian craftsmen. It was then placed into the mahmal a special reliquary and carried to Mecca where it would cover the Kaaba during hajj. The present stereographs show the arrival of the carpet in Cairo and Damascus. The photograph of Yemen is of a later date.The stereograph from Damascus was taken by William Herman Rau 1855-1920 a photographer from Pennsylvania. He became the photographer for the United States government expedition and traveled around the world to observe the transit of Venus. In 1881 he briefly worked in Egypt Palestine and Syria. The image of the holy carpet was likely taken during this time although the present stereographic print is of a later date. The photograph of Cairo was taken by Roddo York Young 1871-1955 an American photographer who worked around the world.Both stereographs have printed text on the back explaining the image. The stereographic cards have been warped but the images themselves are in good condition. unknown

[PHOTOGRAPHY] McCULLIN, Don
India
London: Jonathan Cape 1999. First U.K. Edition. Quarto. 25cm. Pulisher's pictorial paper covered boards. Dustjacket. 132pp. Very light wear to corners and spine ends; internally clean signed by McCulling to the title page; in a clean strong example of the dustjacket with some very light cosmetic edgewear. A near fine signed copy.<br /> <br /> McCullin's relationship with India has been on of fasciantion ever since her toured the sub-continent with Eric Newby in the mid-1960's. This lavish travelogue which steps away from the shining marble of the Taj Mahal and instead takes in the burning ghats family outings refugee camps everyday life and the Indian people from the street people of Calcutta to market workers Brahmin and beggars is for McCullin a departure from war zones and military might but returns to his essential question of what happens to everyday people caught in the grinding mechanical orbit of great civilizations Jonathan Cape unknown

Large mounted albumen photograph of the Eastern Gateway of Blenheim Palace
Cambridge: Hills and Saunders 1855. Very good condition. A striking albumen print of the Eastern Gateway of the palace with a contemporary ink inscribed title 'Entrance to "Duke of Marlborough's" Residence' on the card below the image. The photographer's imprint 'Hills and Saunders Photographers to Her Majesty King's Parade Cambridge and at Oxford Eton Harrow & London' is printed below the handwritten title. <br /> <br /> The monumental eastern gate a triumphal arch leads to the kitchen court of the palace and is designed with Tuscan pilasters resting on cannon balls. Grinling Gibbons the famous wood carver created the stone urns in 1708. There are 2 statues in niches also thought to be made in Grinling's studio. In 1773 lion heads wreaths and laurels were added by the architect Sir William Chambers. <br /> <br /> The ornate wrought iron gates were made in the late 1840s by Messrs. Bramah the firm founded by the famous locksmith Joseph Bramah. They were exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851.<br /> <br /> We are unable to confirm the date of the image but we feel that it would be soon after the installation of the wrought iron gates in the early 1850s. Supporting this early date is the large top hat worn by the man visible in the photograph<br /> <br /> At the top of the arch is a blank rectangular plaque. This image is prior to the inscription being engraved on the plaque which was not completed until the end of the 19th century.<br /> <br /> The albumen print 6 x 7 1/2" laid down on heavier stock 10 1/4 x 15 Hills and Saunders unknown

This is their memory album of a visit to Luxor in southern Egypt the place of the Valley of the Kings. The photographs some of which are titled are chiefly titled in French.

[Photography] Garcia, Erin C
Man Ray in Paris.
<p>Photography Garcia Erin C. Man Ray in Paris. Los Angeles: Getty Publications 2011. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. The American Modernist Man Ray 1890–1976 spent the 1920s and 1930s in Paris where experimental expression was flourishing. While he considered himself to be primarily a painter and also worked in film sculpture and collage his best-known and most innovative medium was photography. He eventually became an influential figure in the city's avant-garde circles and began to make striking portraits of many of its luminaries including Pablo Picasso James Joyce Jean Cocteau Joan Miró and Gertrude Stein. His work inspired other photographers and encouraged painters including the Surrealists René Magritte and Salvador Dalí to experiment with the medium. Through its fascinating text and numerous photographs this volume vividly demonstrates why Man Ray is still considered to be one of the most inventive and exciting artists of the twentieth century. </p> Getty Publications, hardcover

[Photography] Ray, Man
Man Ray: Photography and It's Double.
Corte Madera:: Gingko Press 1998. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Man Ray 1890-1976 was one of the co-founders of New York Dada. When he arrived in Paris in the 1920s he was already friends with Duchamp and many Parisian Surrealists who welcomed him with great enthusiasm. He is unquestionably recognized as the most original photographer of our century.With his photographs Rayographs solarizations and various experimentation with Surrealist doctrines in the darkroom his photographic contribution to art and especially surrealism is matchless. Thanks to his famous portraits of contemporaries - artists writers and celebrities - he also became the most notable chronicler of the inter-national Avant-garde movement of the 1920s and 1930s. This monograph published to coincide with the historic exhibition at the Centre Pompidou is entirely dedicated to Man Ray's photographic oeuvre. The Centre Pompidou is the recipient of the Man Ray archives - some 13000 negatives and 5000 prints - which reveal for the very first time never before published photographs a great amount consisting of erotic compositions. One-third of these photographs have never been seen. Not only the finished photos but also the process - crops background manipulation and other methods. The book with its new images presents for the very first time a true picture of the artist and a vital addition to the many publications about Man Ray that appeared throughout this century many of which are long out of print. This monograph is a must for Man Ray experts for those interested in photography and a wonderful introduction to students and others not yet sufficiently familiar with Man Ray's work.
