THE RARE STUNNING COMPLETE PORTFOLIO OF 10 LARGE ICONIC SILVER GELATIN PRINTS OF MARILYN MONROE BY PHILIPPE HALSMAN. EXTREMELY RARE ARTIST PROOF: From the collection of John Springer one of Monroe's press representatives. This portfolio was given to Springer by Yvonne Halsman at the time of publication. Nine of the prints are from Halsman's famous 1952 shoot at Monroe's apartment for LIFE Magazine including the cover shot for the April 7 1952 issue; one "Marilyn Jumping" from his 1959 "Jumpology" series. Halsman explained the circumstances of the 1952 shoot: "I drove to the outskirts of Los Angeles where she lived in a two-room apartment. What impressed me in the living room was the obvious striving for self-improvement. I saw a photograph of Eleanora Duse and a multitude of books that I did not expect to find there like the works of Dostoevsky Freud the history of Fabian socialism etc. On the floor were two barbells." Philippe Halsman website. In addition to the LIFE cover photograph and "Marilyn Jumping" the portfolio includes: "Portrait of Marilyn 1952"; "Marilyn with Barbells 1952"; "Marilyn Entering the Closet 1952"; "Marilyn Flirting 1952"; "Marilyn at the Drive-In 1952"; "Marilyn Listening to Music 1952"; "The True Marilyn 1952"; "Marilyn-Mao 1952".

Nineteenth century quarter maroon morocco maroon paper over boards; rubbed. Rubber-stamp of Abbe E. Emile Longin Beaujeu fl.1904; receipt of sale of this copy to Armand Pushman 1932 NYC. First edition. This work was first translated into English in 1693. "At this time a major preoccupation of the Catholic Church and its China mission was to discover a safe land route from Europe to Peking through central Asia. This was due to the large numbers of out-going clergy who perished tragically every year at sea." Ames & Love p. 202. "The last decade of the century saw the publication of the accounts of several overland travelers to China and their destinations of China's inner-Asian neighbors. The story of the Jesuit Philippe Avril's attempt to establish a route across Russia for the safe passage of missionaries to China appeared in 1692 and includes descriptions of both the routes from Moscow to China and the peoples on China's frontiers. Avril himself however did not travel beyond Moscow and his descriptions therefore are not the result of his own observations." Lach & Kley pp. 1685-1686. The same for Nicolaas Witsen. Avril Philippe a Jesuit born in France explored extensively throughout Asia and the Far East. He was a professor of mathematics and philosophy in Paris before he began his overland journey. He traveled for six years through Kurdistan Armenia Astrakhan Persia and other parts of the southeast. At one point he came to Moscow and was refused entry to Tatary. He was sent by the government to Poland via Istanbul and back to France. Apparently affected by exhaustion and disease he still undertook another voyage his last for the ship was lost at sea circa 1698. – Love Ronald S. "A Passage to China: A French Jesuit's Perceptions of Siberia in the 1680s." French Colonial History 3: p. 94 2003. Ames & Love offer: "Though obliged to leave Moscow Avril did not return to France with Louis Barnabe . . . Remaining instead at Warsaw the two Jesuits had entered in early March 1688 Avril attempted twice more to achieve his objective or reaching China by land – if not through Siberia then via Persia and Central Asia. Aided in part by the Polish monarch John Sobieski r.1674-1696 and his ambassador to Russia the French priest once again traveled to Moscow in late spring. Just two days after his arrival in the Muscovite capital however Avril was ordered summarily out of the country. Once again he appealed the command in vain. 'Russia intended to keep her trade with China a secret.' Nor did he have better luck later the same year 1688 when he and a fellow Jesuit Pere de Beauvillier tried going south to Constantinople instead and thence through Persia to Bokhara Samarkland and the Chinese frontier. Crossing secretly into Ottoman territory the two men were arrested as spies. After several weeks they secured their release and resumed their trek. But Avril whose health had been waning as a result of relentless exertions suddenly developed a hemorrhage. Ordered to abandon the search and return home by his superiors he reached France in autumn 1689." Ames & Love p. 219.

1795ref. 41061Paris 1795. Uncolored oval bust portrait of a bespectacled Benjamin Franklin. 8-1/4" x 9-3/4" on a 10-1/2" x 13-3/4" sheet. Portrait surrounded by a black oval border. The portrait is captioned "Francklin." Directly beneath the oval border in small type is printed "Vanloo Pinxt" to the left and "P.M. Alex Sculpt" to the right. Very Good. According to Sellers's BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IN PORTRAITURE the engraving was done after an original portrait by the famed French painter Charles Philippe Vanloo in which Franklin was wearing fur-trimmed costume. The original portrait was painted while Franklin resided in Paris a "life portrait" dated between 1777 and 1785 and is now in the collection of the American Philosophical Society which was founded by Franklin. Sellers discusses our print: "the substitution a simple gray coat for the fur-trimmed costume of the original was undoubtedly in deference to the revolutionary feeling." It is one of a series of portraits begun in July 1790 and finished in September 1797. The 'Francklin' was exhibited in 1795 so the estimated date of the portrait is between July 1790 and 1795. This print was engraved after Vanloo's portrait by the noted French engraver Pierre-Michel Alix who was known for his portraits of leading French citizens and prominent personalities. Sellers Charles Coleman: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IN PORTRAITURE Yale University Press: 1962 pp. 393-394. Charles Philippe Amedee Vanloo 1715 -1795 was the member of a Flemish family of painters that settled in France. He was known for painting landscapes and portraits and he had an affinity for scientific subjects. Pierre-Michel Alix 1762-1817 was a French engraver and printmaker specializing in multiple-platecolor printing. He studied under Jacques-Philippe Le Bas and was best known for his portraits of notable figures during the French Revolution and First French Empire. unknown books

Light smudge on rear jacket panel. 2002 Large Hardcover. 149 pp. Edith Wharton's love affair with the French Riviera began in 1919 and continued to the end of her days. She found there a microcosm of the sort of society that had always fascinated her that she described in her classic novels. Between the two world wars the whole region was a playground for film stars magnates and princesses: her neighbors included Wallis Simpson Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Cole Porter and Dorothy Parker. For Edith Wharton the Riviera was at once a haven where she could write to her heart's content and a terrifyingly superficial world. This fascinating book is a study of this world as it existed when Edith Wharton arrived and how the region changed over the years. Richly illustrated with both contemporary and vintage photographs it is a hugely evocative portrait of the Golden Age of the Riviera. Edith Wharton on the Riviera is a rare treat: a taste of the fabulous lifestyle of the privileged classes that has now vanished forever. Flammarion hardcover books

Philipe de Comines was a Statesman and one of the most interesting of the old French historians of the Middle Ages. Dibdin says that "no English Historical Collection can be complete without P. de Comines." A great visionary Comines 1447 - 1511 noticed and regretted the permanent antagonism between the European nations and aspired to a Europe united by Christianity. He advocated free trade the reform of the currency and the system of weights and measures as well as the consultation of the States General in order to avoid any despotism. After the first edition was produced by Denis Sauvage in 1552 which marked a notable progress this edition of 1649 produced by Théodore and Denis Godefroy was a great step forward. They printed at the prestigious Imprimerie Royale installed in the Louvre. In addition to the beautiful typographical quality it was established on two manuscripts and on the Sauvage edition. Many new lessons appear here for the first time and the editors attach to the text a valuable compendium of supporting material. this edition of 1649.
