1959ref. 40770Schweinfurt Germany: n.p. 1959. Contents near fine housed in very good album. Affectionate photo album memorializing the mostly harmless exploits of an Army coterie of proto-Beatniks stationed in peacetime Europe and making the most of it. Photo album of a young man in the most fortunate of midcentury micro-generations coming of draft age after the war in Korea and before the American war in Vietnam: able to treat their tour of duty as a lark an adventure; an excuse to drink Bavarian beer and go to motorcycle shows; wear Converse and coke-bottle glasses and sign each other's good-bye cards like an affectionate graduating class. This album records the work and play of soldiers and locals in and around U.S. Army Garrison Schweinfurt: home to several thousand U.S. soldiers and personnel in the years after 1945 and clearly remembered with great affection by those lucky enough to see no combat a little adventure and a lot of hanging out. A good decade younger than the iconic Beats who wrote the formative texts and dreamed the formative dreams for their disciples and imitators the soldiers pictured here are just the right age to be formed by the late '50s popular notion of carefree bohemian youth so sternly corrected by the Beat originals in question: The "foul word Beatnik" wrote Ginsberg is nothing but a "journalistic sneer." Kerouac meanwhile expressed a dour miserablism over the whole business: "Nothing can be more dreary than coolness . a kind of sociological coolness soon to become a fad up to the mass of middle class youth." Well: they were both right but they were both over 30 by then. The Beat ethos and vestiges of a Beat aesthetic could not be contained; as the album proves even in barracks even under Army discipline and orders the youth with their shabby blazers and glasses of absinthe-substitute knew what cool was. Shot by a remarkably skilled amateur photographer or photographers with a fine eye for composition the photographs are technically accomplished with a fine sense of contrast and a keen sensitivity to the opportune moment. At a uniformed military exercise he captures some curious civilian onlookers; out in the surrounding town he takes sensitive candid photos of an impish local toddler strangling her brother. More than this though is the tone of bohemian youth captured both real and aspirational. The heart of the album documents a core group of friends: smoking wearing sunglasses indoors drinking Pernod taking photos reading French newspapers. Throughout the photographer finds time to hunt beauty: men silhouetted against a bleak sky; a young and grim-faced pregnant woman gazing at a leafless tree; cynical children clambering over tank; and of course European women. A captivating series of moments as perfectly framed as any film still. 11'' x 16''. Original oblong photo album lacking original string ties otherwise intact. Paper label mounted to front cover: "Schweinfurt - 1959 / Boudreaux Kites" in pen. 36 album leaves laid in each with black and white photographs mounted to rectos and versos and intact spiderweb tissue guards. Bayonet receipt card for a Francis C. Welch mounted beneath a portrait photo. One greeting card also mounted to first leaf and one additional large 10'' x 8'' photograph laid in. 181 photographs in total. Wear and some warping to album cover; interior leaves largely unaffected. Photos fine. n.p. unknown
ref. 43982n.p.: n.p. 1970. Near fine. Enigmatic and disquieting collection of six short stories and one 90-page novella neatly and distinctively handwritten and illustrated in brown ink. The material veers in tone from the parodic to the surreal to the philosophically melancholic; the style incorporates a recondite vocabulary "the pyral tarantism of being in the world" and a single consistent insistent voice alternating long unpunctuated Joycean streams of frantic consciousness with brief and airless sentence fragments. A perpetual undercurrent of violent sexuality surfaces as much in the settings and scenery as in the events: a car crash; a game of human chess; a blazing furnace; a slaughterhouse. The table of contents gives titles for each work but no author's name; the bookplate with initials "A. J." offer the only clue to the item's creator or owner. The authorial narration steps out of its queasy dreamtime now and then to comment on itself "It would appear that this is the whim of the authors" or to focus on a concrete and precisely dated image: "Week-end Traffic" catalogs automobile makes and models in obsessive parodic almost Ballardian detail - a 1931 Alfa-Romeo; a '28 Lombard a Triumph Scorpion - and characters offer each other Passing Cloud cigarettes. But for the most part settings are as hard to place as the book itself. Character names are almost but not quite real: Nish Rogoze Valetta Fedor Shad. Illustrated with line drawings in brown pen presumably also by the writer with occasional accents in black and brief captions taken from the scenes they illustrate. The execution is skilled but careful often quoting other artwork as in the illustration to the final story "Communication" whose subject is the Breughel painting Dulle Griet; we see a copy of Brueghel's scene through the latticework of a window. Other illustrations appear to be carefully composed from copies or multiple tracings giving something of the effect of a Max Ernst collage - particularly the images of a horse-headed woman and a lion-headed man perhaps an intentional quotation from Une Semaine de Bonte. A Piranesi-esque interior gives way to a crowned woman in 20th century corset and garter belt: the Queen. Although a precise date cannot be given this book bears the stamp of a London bindery which operated as Bailey Bros. until a name-change in the 1970s and references in the text place its composition after the 1930s; we estimate the date of production to be circa the late 1960s to early 1970s - though its private library feel perhaps hints at a possible earlier creation. Bizarre and unsettling yet also the product of an original voice. In short: a singular artist's book of unique vision. Original red morocco with raised bands and decorative gilt stamping to spine. Top edge gilt. Black and gold patterned endpapers. 205 pages. Bookplate taped to ffep; brown geometric design with designer initials ACW at lower right and "Ex Libris AJ". Gilt stamping to lower edge of back cover below paste-down: "BOUND BY BAILEY BROS. LTD." Slight chipping to leather at inside rear hinge. Light edgewear and rubbing. n.p. unknown

The Last 7 Unnumbered Pages List Trees And shrubs Placed In Tournefort’s Classes. It appears the Text Was Written By Two Hands One Fainter Than The Other. Since this Manuscript is dated 1774 the year of de Gerland’s death one could surmize He began the INventory but the document was completed posthumously by another wirter. This Is An Exceptional and probably unique Record Of The Plants in the Original garden. The Garden Was moved From the Original 1771 location to a new site in Dijon in 1833.

Le manuscrit est organisé selon les classes taxinomiques 1 à 16 de Tournefort avec des sections pour les plantes herbacées. Les 7 dernières pages non numérotées répertorient les arbres et arbustes classés dans les classes de Tournefort. Il semble que le texte ait été écrit par deux mains l'une plus faible que l'autre. Puisque ce manuscrit est daté de 1774 année de la mort de de Gerland on pourrait supposer qu'il a commencé l'inventaire mais le document a été complété à titre posthume par un autre écrivain. Il s'agit d'un enregistrement exceptionnel et probablement unique des plantes du jardin d'origine. Le Jardin a été déplacé de son emplacement initial de 1771 vers un nouveau site à Dijon en 1833.

Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book some pages are missing and may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.The 1871 census was a comprehensive endeavor that captured vital data across several key areas. It provided a detailed account of the population including total counts for each province's districts and a record of any territorial changes. Comparisons with population densities in other regions were made offering context. Demographic data encompassed religion and gender while categorization into agricultural and non-agricultural groups revealed economic structures. Information on age mental health including the number of individuals considered ""insane"" education caste systems and occupations offered insights into society. Urban-rural divides progress trends and educational details at different administrative levels were documented. The census even delved into specifics such as the occupation of adult males in larger towns and the demographics of Europeans and Eurasians.

A rare work on Confectionary. It was the publisher's stated opinion and intention see Preface that "Much as there has been written in Cookery Books on the art of Confectionary there are few works on the subject which are practically written and these are for the most part expensive and beyond the reach of men of limited means. The object of the present Treatise is to supply a cheap but reliable work which shall convey instruction in as plain and concise a manner as possible to the inexperienced or those young men who have served their apprenticeships at provincial towns and are not acquainted with the metropolitan practice and its improvements; and also to apprentices that they may be enable to learn their business more efficiently than many masters can or will instruct them in it.
