"�In this work I have attempted to present the various defects in modern Bulldogs by pictorial diagrams in a way that will be readily understood and have placed other diagrams showing the ideal points as laid down in the descriptions and Standards of the several Bulldog Clubs alongside them. Whilst most authorities are agreed on the subject in theory their interpretations are as diverse as those of art critics largely due to the fact that works on the Bulldog have hitherto been confined to written descriptions and discussions without the necessary illustrative sketches to show the points in a clear and unmistakable manner. I believe my sketches will demonstrate not only the defects but also the actualities desired in this noble breed. �" from the preface of the book. . Illustrated Kennel News Co, Ltd. paperback‎

‎Photography And The 1851 Great Exhibition‎

‎Oak Knoll Press New Castle Delaware and London and V&A Publishing: 2018. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations held in London from May to October of 1851 was the genesis of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Published to accompany the opening of the V&A Photography Centre this book makes extensive use of the V&A collections and archival material related to the 1851 Great Exhibition. Photography and the 1851 Great Exhibition is the first comprehensive study of the seminal gathering of photographs and photographic equipment that marked the global launch of the form. It examines the role and impact of photography at the 1851 Great Exhibition and beyond drawing together two decades of research to create a broader understanding of the step-change in image making and distribution represented by that event. With a Foreword by Tristram Hunt and an essay on photoscience by Nicholas Burnett. While the Great Exhibition has received a variety of examinations its role in exhibiting and furthering the cause and exploitation of photography and its impact on illustration printing publishing and the arts has been largely underappreciated. More broadly 1851 saw a massive change in information management: in the creation and dissemination of visually based graphic information characterized by images of the building its contents and their display that collectively constituted the Great Exhibition. Photography played a critical role in this quantum leap. The scale and scope of photography of the Great Exhibition is made evident through reproductions of images produced by a wide range of amateur and professional photographers who documented the Great Exhibition some of which are the only known images of now lost works of art. Also shown and examined are prints produced by traditional reprographics and lithographs and the photographic originals from which they were derived. The result of more than twenty years of research this study is based on a number of contemporary sources including official publications the archive of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 the correspondence of William Henry Fox Talbot letters newspapers books and articles in serial and periodical publications as well as the Reports by the Juries from which all 154 photographic images are reproduced in these pages. Anthony Hamber is an expert on 19th century photography and the illustrated book the contribution of photography to other forms of illustration and the application of photography to art publishing. His first monograph A Higher Branch of the Art; Photographing the Fine Arts in England 1839-1880 Gordon & Breach 1996 is a fundamental source of information in its field. 8.75 x 12 inches cloth dust jacket xx 396 pages with folding floor plan of the Crystal Palace in pocket at rear. "Any student of early photography -- or of the international exposition housed in the famous Crystal Palace in London -- will covet this magisterial work of careful scholarship and beautiful bookmaking."- Michael Dirda "best books list" The Washington Post "Ever since the Great exhibition I have felt that a new era had commenced for photography" said William Henry Fox Talbot -- inventor of photography on paper. In charting the pioneering and diverse role of photography at the Great exhibition this important study plots the start of photography's international journey which set the foundations for the new purpose and place of photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum today.- Tristram Hunt Director of the V&A from the Foreword Oak Knoll Press, New Castle, Delaware and London and V&A Publishing: 2018 hardcover‎

‎PYNE STEPHEN J‎

‎The Interior West: A Fire Survey‎

‎Oregon State University Press Corvallis: 2018. Softcover. Brand new book. Its fires help to give the Interior West a peculiar character fundamental to its natural and human histories. While a general aridity unites the region�defined here as Nevada Utah and western Colorado�its fires illuminate the ways that the region's various parts show profoundly different landscapes biotas and human settlement experiences. In this collection of essays fire historian Stephen J. Pyne explains the relevance of the Interior West to the national fire scene. This region offered the first scientific inquiry into landscape fire in the United States including a map of Utah burns published in 1878 as part of John Wesley Powell's Arid Lands report. Then its significance faded and for most of the 20th century the Interior West was the hole in the national donut of fire management. Recently the region has returned to prominence due to fires along its front ranges; invasive species both exotics like cheatgrass and unleashed natives like mountain pine beetle; and fatality fires notably at South Canyon in 1994. The Interior West has long been passed over in national fire narratives. Here it reclaims its rightful place. Included in this volume: A summary of 19th- and 20th-century fire history in the Interior West How this important region inspired U.S. studies of landscape fire Why the region disappeared from national fire management discussions How the expansion of invasive species and loss of native species has affected the region's fire ecology The national significance of fire in the Interior West Stephen J. Pyne is Regents Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. He is the author of more than 30 books mostly on wildland fire and its history but also dealing with the history of places and exploration including The Ice How the Canyon Became Grand and Voyager. Most recently he has surveyed the American fire scene with a narrative Between Two Fires: A Fire History of Contemporary America and a suite of regional reconnaissances To the Last Smoke all published by the University of Arizona Press. "Pyne provides a unique perspective on where we as a fire community have been and how far we have left to go."�Bryan Karchut Fire and Aviation Staff Officer Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests Oregon State University Press, Corvallis: 2018 paperback‎

‎MOORE KATHLEEN DEAN‎

‎Holdfast: At Home In The Natural World With A New Afterword By The Author‎

‎Oregon State University Press Corvallis: 2013. Softcover. Brand new book. Winner of the Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award. Naturalist and philosopher Kathleen Dean Moore meditates on connection and separation in these twenty-one elegant probing essays. Using the metaphor of holdfasts�the structures that attach seaweed to rocks with a grip strong enough to withstand winter gales�she examines our connections to our own bedrock. "When people lock themselves in their houses at night and seal the windows shut to keep out storms it is possible to forget sometimes for years and years that human beings are part of the natural world" she writes. Holdfast passionately reclaims an awareness of the natural world exploring the sense of belonging fostered by the communal howls of wolves; the inevitability of losing children to their own lives; the fear of bears and love of storms; the sublimity of life and longing in the creatures of the sea; her agonizing decision when facing her father's bone-deep pain. As Moore travels philosophically and geographically�from Oregon's shores to Alaska's islands�she leaves no doubt of her virtuosity and range. The new afterword is an important statement on the new responsibilities of nature writers as the world faces the consequences of climate change. 6 � 9 inches. 160 pages. Kathleen Dean Moore is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Oregon State University and co-founder and senior fellow of OSU's Spring Creek Project of Ideas Nature and the Written Word. She is the coeditor of the award-winning Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril and the author of Wild Comfort Riverwalking�winner of a Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award�and The Pine Island Paradox�winner of the Oregon Book Award. "A gifted essayist�Moore's prose is elegant and poetic." �Hungry Mind Review "Reminiscent of the work of Annie Dillard and others who have combined their observations of the natural world with philosophical reflections�" �Publishers Weekly "Graceful meditations on nature�an altogether satisfying collection by a gifted interpreter of the natural world." �Kirkus Reviews Oregon State University Press, Corvallis: 2013 paperback‎

‎Circa 1884 African American Cabinet Card Photograph‎

‎Unknown: Original Photograph 1884. Original Photograph. Photograph. Very Good. 4 1/8 X 6 1/2 Inches. Original ID'ed Circa 1884 Cabinet Card. Photograph annotated on the verso: "Gen Hudson - mammy peeking to see if OK & caught in picture - age about 8 to 10 mo's - b. Sept 20 1883 Son of James A. & Julia A. Hudson." The card itself is stamped "R.D. Lenhart Photographer - 18 Vine St. - Macon MO." A bit of research has been done to see if we could locate a General Hudson from Missouri. We haven't found much. That said the true value of this photograph in all senses of the term is the appearance of the "mammy" in the background. She certainly looks happier than the Hudson baby! A very rare image. Corners a bit rounded and a few spots to surface of image. Original Photograph unknown‎

‎BANNOS PAMELA‎

‎Vivian Maier: A Photographer's Life And Afterlife‎

‎University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2017. Softcover. Brand new book. Who was Vivian Maier Many people know her as the reclusive Chicago nanny who wandered the city for decades constantly snapping photographs which were unseen until they were discovered in a seemingly abandoned storage locker. They revealed her to be an inadvertent master of twentieth-century American street photography. Not long after the news broke that Maier had recently died and had no surviving relatives. Soon the whole world knew about her preternatural work shooting her to stardom almost overnight. But as Pamela Bannos reveals in this meticulous and passionate biography this story of the nanny savant has blinded us to Maier's true achievements as well as her intentions. Most important Bannos argues Maier was not a nanny who moonlighted as a photographer; she was a photographer who supported herself as a nanny. In Vivian Maier: A Photographer's Life and Afterlife Bannos contrasts Maier's life with the mythology that strangers�mostly the men who have profited from her work�have created around her absence. Bannos shows that Maier was extremely conscientious about how her work was developed printed and cropped even though she also made a clear choice never to display it. She places Maier's fierce passion for privacy alongside the recent spread of her work around the world and she explains Maier's careful adjustments of photographic technique while explaining how the photographs have been misconstrued or misidentified. As well Bannos uncovers new information about Maier's immediate family including her difficult brother Karl�relatives that once had been thought not to exist. This authoritative and engrossing biography shows that the real story of Vivian Maier a true visionary artist is even more compelling than the myth. Part I: Beginnings and Endings Chapter 1: A Fractured Archive Chapter 2: A New World a New Art Form Chapter 3: A Family Divided / Photography's Complex History Part II: The Emergence of Vivian Maier Chapter 4: Young Photographer / Final Days Chapter 5: New York Street Photographer / Viral Vivian Part III: The Reinvention of Vivian Maier Chapter 6: Mysterious Nanny Photographer Chapter 7: High Art / Downward Spiral Part IV: The Aftermath Chapter 8: The Missing Picture: Vivian's Maier's Last Thirty Years Chapter 9: Those Who Did Not Know Her Chapter 10: Who Owns Vivian Maier's Photography Epilogue 352 pages 30 halftones 6 x 9. "Stories--like snapshots--are shaped by people and for particular purposes. There's always an angle. A new biography Vivian Maier: A Photographer's Life and Afterlife by Pamela Bannos strives to rescue Maier all over again this time from the men who promulgated the Maier myth and profited off her work. . . . Almost point by point Bannos refutes how Maier has been marketed. . . . The achievement of Bannos's intelligent irritable self-reflexive study is in its restraint. She unseats the ghost and restores to us the woman--but in her own words and images and without psychologizing. It's a portrait as direct as any of Maier's and what a distinct pleasure it is to meet her gaze again." Luc Sante Bookforum "Patiently and lucidly detailed by Pamela Bannos in her nearly forensic biography--which unties many knots and brings order to what was previously a chaotic welter of information and misinformation."--Parul Sehgal New York Times "At last we have a way of separating the individual from the myths that have been constructed around her. The revelation of greater context is the beating heart of Bannos's book and she's clear from the start that she sees it as an act of feminist reclamation."--Nation "Meticulously researched. . . . Bannos's biography is a vital contribution to understanding the historical relevance of Maier's work and an important challenge to the way in which Maier's work and legacy have been represented thus far."--Publishers Weekly "By carefully analyzing the artist's images Bannos skillfully tracks her entire adult life: work history where she lived and traveled and her interests and is able to look past the mystique of the 'eccentric nanny with a camera' to tell the true Maier story. . . . The book's strengths are Bannos's exhaustive research and her ability to connect the greater history of photography in to the account of Maier's curious life. This extraordinary work is recommended for all art history and photography enthusiasts."--Library Journal "Bannos's engrossing meticulously researched biography sensitively reconstructs Vivian Maier's very private life in conjunction with her now massive public legacy as a visionary photographer. Many questions remain and always will. However Bannos's comprehensive narrative ensures that Vivian Maier's story and the treasure trove of her work will live on transcending the world of photography. . . . A fascinating glimpse into the life of an eccentric legendary photographer whose work came to prominence only with her death." Shelf Awareness for Readers "Bannos's engrossing meticulously researched biography sensitively reconstructs Vivian Maier's very private life in conjunction with her posthumous legacy as a visionary photographer. Many questions remain and always will. However Bannos's comprehensive narrative ensures that Vivian Maier's story and the treasure trove of her work will live on. . . .
