"Charles Marville 1813-1879 is widely acknowledged as one of the most talented photographers of the nineteenth century. Accompanying a major retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in honor of Marville's bicentennial Charles Marville: Photographer of Paris surveys the artist's entire career. This beautiful book which begins with the city scenes and architectural views Marville made throughout France and Germany in the 1850s also explores his portraits and landscapes s before turning to his photographs of Paris made both before and after the city's dramatic modernization in the 1850s and 1860s. Commissioned to record the city in transition Marville created one of the earliest and most powerful photographic series documenting urban transformation on a grand scale. Despite the importance of his work Marville has long been an enigma in the history of photography in part because many of the documents about his life were thought to have been lost in a fire that destroyed Paris's city hall in 1871. Based on meticulous research this volume reveals many new insights into Marville's personal and professional biography including the central fact that he was born Charles-François Bossu. He shed this name which means hunchback and adopted the pseudonym Marville when he began his career as an illustrator in the 1830s. With five essays by respected scholars this book offers the first comprehensive examination of Marville's life and career and delivers the much-awaited public recognition his photographs so richly deserve"--Provided by publisher.

1915rif. D31171915. Hardcover. Very Good. Cloth-backed boards 4 by 6.75 inches with "Traveling with the Class of 1915" handwritten in ink on upper board now quite faint and "Turn Over" handwritten in ink on lower board; approx. 120 lined pages nearly all of them full of handwritten text and drawings -- including quirky illuminated initials made to look like faces and an illustrated alphabet -- contributed by a small group of people perhaps 3 or 4 North Hudson. "'The Class of 1915' is made up of pupils from every town on the map of North Hudson. Union Hill Blue Stone City Guttenburge Woodcliff West Hoboken and Weehawken." William Broadhead the self-proclaimed editor of the "Junior Bug" seems to be the character at the helm. Straight off he warns us "Please do not wet your fingers to turn the pages." He is joined by an unnamed young lady who contributes poetry in her careful florid script and a fellow illustrator who appears to mark his contributions as "Prof. G. Brea" and who possibly also contributes some text. They've fashioned an odd little collaborative piece begun in 1913 and finished in 1915 that showcases their arcane self-referential humor some of these must we hope be "inside jokes" at the same time that it reflects the universally madcap weirdness that is high school. Sophs are compared to Juniors who're in turn disdained by Seniors. Dumb class answers are ridiculed in cartoon. Silliness abounds. And while the humor may be a bit dated or just weird the substance is timeless. Boards scuffed; a few pages detached and laid-in. With a very nice custom clamshell box brown cloth and gilt-stamped paper spine label. hardcover books
