A noter une mouillure en marge intérieure des trois premiers feuillets du premier volume et les derniers feuillets du même volume avec mouillure marginale saine (à quelques feuillets seulement). Exemplaire relié à l'époque aux armes (en queue) d'un membre de la famille de Damas (?) ou d'Aubusson (?). Première édition au format in-quarto. Cette édition est bien complète en 3 volumes in-quarto (il n'y a pas d'atlas pour cette édition). Elle reprend le corpus de l'édition en 7 volumes in-8, avec les passages supprimés réintégrés ici au bas des pages sous forme de variantes. La première édition de ce magistral ouvrage a paru pour la première fois en 1770. "Véritable encyclopédie de l’anticolonialisme au XVIIIe siècle" ce texte entre dans la catégorie des "Voyages philosophiques" et représente un prétexte à des réflexions sur la "loi naturelle" et dénonce tout à la fois despotisme, cléricalisme, esclavage et colonialisme. L'ouvrage est toujours décrit par les commentateurs comme une « machine de guerre » contre le pouvoir en place. Pour la rédaction de cette encyclopédie Raynal eut recours à la collaboration de nombreux informateurs et collaborateurs écrivains tels que le Baron d'Holbach ou Diderot, à qui on attribue une part importante des textes. Interdite en 1772, l’Histoire des deux Indes sera à nouveau publiée par l’abbé Raynal dans une nouvelle édition en 1774 qui est immédiatement mise à l’Index par le clergé. C’est en 1780 qu’il publie sa troisième édition de l'Histoire des deux Indes, encore plus virulente que les deux précédentes et qu’il avoue implicitement comme étant de lui en y faisant graver son portrait en frontispice. Condamné par le Parlement de Paris, l’ouvrage est brûlé par le bourreau en place publique, ce qui lui assure un succès considérable. L’Histoire des deux Indes a également été l’occasion de la Lettre apologétique de l’abbé Raynal à Monsieur Grimm (1781) de Diderot (qui aurait écrit au moins un tiers de l'ouvrage, selon Grimm). Dans cette lettre Diderot écrit : « Raynal est un historien comme il n'y en a point encore eu, et tant mieux pour lui, et tant pis pour l'histoire. Si l'histoire avait, dès les premiers temps, saisi et traîné par les cheveux les tyrans civils et les tyrans religieux, je ne crois pas qu'il en fussent devenus meilleurs; mais ils en auraient été plus détestés, et leurs malheureux sujets en seraient peut-être devenus moins patients... Le livre que j'aime et que les rois et leurs courtisans détestent, c'est le livre qui fait naître des Brutus... » Dans notre exemplaire une note manuscrite de l'époque révolutionnaire indique : "Le Parlement de Paris proscrivit, le 25 mai 1781, l'Histoire philosophique de l'abbé Raynal, et ordonna que cet ouvrage fût brûlé. Il décréta même l'auteur de prise de corps. L'abbé Raynal se vit donc forcé de s'enfuir précipitamment de France. Le 15 août 1790, l'Assemblée nationale, sur la rédaction proposée par les députés Voidel et Maloüet, annula, comme contraire aux droits naturels et imprescriptibles de l'homme, le décret lancé par le Parlement de Paris contre l'abbé Raynal et son Histoire philosophique (v. Oeuvres d'André Chénier, 2e vol., p. 119)." (note manuscrite ancienne sur le faux-titre du premier volume). "It became a key text of the American Revolution, and Raynal became a correspondent of Franklin, Jefferson, and Adams." "Un des ouvrages clefs de la crise de l'Ancien Régime" (Michel Delon, in En Français dans le texte) "Celui qui abdique lâchement sa liberté, se voue au remords et à la plus grande misère qu’un être pensant et sensible puisse éprouver. S’il n’y a, sous le ciel, aucune puissance qui puisse changer mon organisation et m’abrutir, il n’y en a aucune qui puisse disposer de ma liberté. [...] L'esclavage est l'état d'un homme qui, par la force ou des conventions, a perdu la propriété de sa personne, et dont un maître peut disposer comme de la chose. [...] La liberté est la propriété de soi; on distingue trois sortes de libertés: la liberté naturelle, la liberté civile, la liberté politique; c'est-à-dire la liberté de l'homme, celle du citoyen et celle d'un peuple. [...] L'homme est aux prises avec la nature; sans cesse il la modifie, et sans cesse il est modifié. [...]." (extraits). Provenance : A. Leclerc, 1885 (étiquette). Armes dorées en queue des dos (mariage - non identifiées - non reconnu par O.H.R. qui les cite pourtant sous la planche n°888, figure n°3). Armoiries peut-être d'une ancienne famille de Bourgogne ? (provenance bourguignonne pour les volumes concernés). Par ailleurs O.H.R. les mentionne sur une Histoire de Bourgogne), peut-être les armes d'une branche de la famille de Damas (à la croix ancrée) ou d'Aubusson. Les présents volumes de Raynal ont été acquis également en Bourgogne ce qui laisserait supposer l'hypothèse "de Damas" plus pertinente. Références : A. Feugère, Bibliographie critique de l'abbé Raynal, 40 ; En français dans le texte, 166 ; Bel exemplaire relié aux armes à l'époque de cet ouvrage très important du Siècle des Lumières, dans son format le plus majestueux.

ref. 132794Universal City CA: Universal Pictures 1986. Archive of three title card maquettes hand lettered by Harold Adler for the 1963 film. Also included are two fascinating autograph letters both elaborately designed and executed in a calligraphic style from Adler to author illustrator and editor Fridolf Johnson relating to Adler's work with Hitchcock. Harold Adler was a calligrapher who created hand lettered titles on over 100 films worked frequently with Alfred Hitchcock and was a favorite of legendary title sequence designers Saul Bass and Pablo Ferro. In addition to "The Birds" 1963 his credits include "Comanche!" 1956 "The Man with the Golden Arm" 1955 "The Seven Year Itch" 1955 "Carmen Jones" 1954 "Psycho" 1960 "In the Heat of the Night" 1967 and "Justine" 1969. In 2012 an exhibition of Adler's work was organized by noted typographer and design historian Jill Bell at the American Advertising Federation Kansas City. In the first letter dated May 16 1986 Adler describes after touching on other topics meeting Hitchcock and then presenting him with layout ideas for the titles. He then goes into detail regarding his answer to a question about the techniques of artist Eric Gill stating that Hitchcock "was amazed" by this answer and after that would "request 'to be sure to bring that nice young man along" meaning Adler whenever he had a job for Adler's firm. The second letter dated June 10th 1986 focuses almost exclusively on Adler's work on "The Birds" going into some detail regarding both the creative and technical processes of producing hand lettered titles for films. He also describes Hitchcock as "an unusual person to work with. He was a master at what he did knew what he wanted and smoked the finest cigars." He then concludes the letter with some brief remarks on how his approach to title lettering evolved over the course of his career. The letters themselves are works of art executed in a variety of inks in Adler's detailed penmanship with Johnson's name on each in particular receiving full calligraphic treatment. Also included are draft title cards for the film stylistically similar to each other but much different from the titles used in the finished film. Two of the cards are marked as "camera ready" in manuscript colored pencil with titles executed in white paint on black board. The third card photo stat on black paper which accompanied the June 10th letter has been annotated by Adler on both the recto and verso explaining the in more detail the technical process of putting the lettering on film. Overall a significant collection of material illuminating a little explored aspect of film design with a direct and significant connection to a seminal work by a director known for personally overseeing all aspects of production. Each letter 19 x 24 inches single leaf rectos only. May 16th letter folded twice for mailing June 10th letter folded. Two long diagonal creases to the May 16th letter else both are Fine. Original mailing envelope for the May 16th letter included. "Camera ready" title cards 22 x 14 inches. Lightly rubbed and about Near Fine. Third card 18 x 4 inches. Near Fine. National Film Registry.
