Printing: Photography
Collection of Printing Photographs from New York School of Printing
New York. Very good. 138 black and white photographs. 64 are approx. 8'' by 10'' or 7'' by 9'' the remainder of the collection in assorted smaller sizes. Many photos curled a few creased and a very few with small tears to edges. Majority very good or better. Approximately a third of the photos have a typed descriptive label attached to the back; others have notes in pen or pencil identifying the subjects. Of the remainder many have a photographer's stamp on the back but are otherwise unlabelled. <br/><br/>Photographs of student printers and instructors nearly all from the New York School of Printing most dated from the mid-1950s through the late 1960s. Many photographs have a detailed description attached e.g. "NYSP students in basement with shipping crates" with one accompanied by a press release from the Printing Education Week Committee. Several images of work in progress have an attached technical description on the reverse explaining the process shown in the photo: e.g. "Registering and Assembling Negatives and Transparencies" "Checking Negative Register" "Burning an Offset Plate" "Preparing 'flats' for contact to blueprint prior to plating" "Hand Composition" "Color Mixing" "Journeymen Instruction in Teletypesetter Operation at the School for Printers Apprentices of The New York School of Printing." Other photos show exhibits from a Printing Education week; high school and college lectures on printing; bookbinding and letterpress classes; exterior shots of the former NYSP building on 49th St. from 1956; design process and scale models for the new NYSP building opened in 1960 and multiple shots of its construction process; and industry booths at a printing trade show or exhibition. Identified subjects include journeymen primters and instructors; representatives of the New York Printing Pressmen's Union #51; and many others identified by name only. One series of 1961 photos showing a tour of a printing workshop bears the stamp "Official Photograph Board of Education - City of New York." Another small set shows a "Printing in Japan" exhibit with several smaller snapshots labeled "Jap Interview" sic. Most photographs are dated between 1951 and 1968 with the largest concentrations in 1956 and '60-61. Photographs lacking a date or description appear to date from the same era with a few exceptions: one photo dated 1943 two 8'' by 10'' enlargements dated 1926 and one 4'' by 5'' photo dated 1933 labelled "Industrial High School / Class in Appreciation of Printing - Studying Foreign Types." unknown books

Ptolemaeus, Claudius.
La geografia di Claudio Tolomeo Alessandrino, nuovamente tradotta di Greco in Italiano, da Girolamo Ruscelli, con espositioni del medesimo [...]. Venice, Vincenzo Valgrisi, 1561.
4to. 3 parts in one vol. (8), 358, (2), (56) pp. (= 28 double-page maps of the ancient world); (56), (72) pp. (= 36 double-page maps of the modern world); 47, (49) pp. A total of 64 double-page engraved maps. Contemporary limp vellum with hand-lettered blue spine label; wants ties. First edition of Girolamo Ruscelli's Italian translation of Ptolemy's "Geography": "a new and important edition in Italian, with a new series of maps" (Stevens). Apart from the 27 traditional Ptolemaic maps, this edition boasts 37 new ones, including three maps of the world, showing the earth according to the description of Ptolemy ("tutta la terra conosciuta fin' à tempi di Tolomeo") and as it was viewed after the discovery of America ("Tavola universal nuova", in two hemispheres - "the first time that such a representation had been used in an atlas", Shirley 110), with a separate navigation map ("carta marina nuova tavola"). Among the "new" maps, the most remarkable ones are those of India, South-East Asia and of America, offering some of the earliest depictions of the newly-discovered continent; other maps include Arabia, Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and North and South Africa. Ten of the old Ptolemaic series show Europe, four show Africa, and twelve Asia. Most of the maps are based on the Gastaldi maps from the 1548 Venice edition made by Giulio and Livio Sanuto, but maps not found there include Scandinavia (after Jacob Ziegler, 1532); Brasil (after Ramusio); the Arctic regions; South Africa; and the navigational chart of the World (Shirley 111). - Title-page a little stained and remargined in the lower corner. A few insignificant lower edge flaws to the first quires. Printed on strong paper, all maps in stark, excellent impressions. A fine copy in its first binding. Edit 16, CNCE 38126. BM-STC Italian 543. Adams P 2235. Shirley 110f. Alden/Landis 561/42. Burden 29-31. Norderskiöld Collection 2:216. Stevens p. 50. Phillips (Atlases) 371. Le Gear 5915. Sabin 66503.
