Best.-Nr. 1059591977. 62 x 71 cm gerahmt 49 x 56 cm Schönes Ex. Erste Erwähnung des «grossen Steges über die Töss» in der jüngeren Offnung von Rorbas im Jahre 1521. Man findet den offenen Steg auch in der Gygerkarte von 1667 und dem Zehntenplan von 1770. Dieser Steg stand wenige Meter oberhalb der heutigen Brücke. Etwas weiter unten gegen die Wildbachmündung befand sich die Furt für die Fuhrwerke. Die Kämpfe von 1799 zwischen den Franzosen und Österreichern sowie einem Hochwasser von 1803 setzten dem Holzsteg arg zu. Es musste dringend eine Neukonstruktion erstellt werden. Ab 1804 setzten sich verschiedene Persönlichkeiten nachhaltig für einen Brücken-neubau ein. Holz war damals sehr teuer rund 4200 Schuh Holz für das Lehrgerüst stammten aus dem Staatswald Hard. Steine gut 600 Kubikmeter konnten aus dem gemeindeeigenen Tuff-Steinbruch geschlagen werden. Die Ge-meinden leisteten viel Fronarbeit. Der Brückenkörper allein kostete 4'500; die Gesamtkosten beliefen sich auf 8’715 Gulden. Nach einem Staatsbeitrag und Einzelspenden von je 1’000 Gulden wurden die Gemeindebeiträge wie folgt aufgeteilt: Rorbas 4/9 Freienstein 3/9 und Teufen 2/9. Die 8’715 Gulden würden heute etwa 1.6 Millionen Franken entsprechen. Die Brücke wurde von dem Niederglatter Maurermeister Volkart realisiert. Mangels Mustern in der Ost-schweiz und dem Zeitgeiste der Mediation entsprechend wurde die Brücke nach dem Vorbild von franz. Kunststrassen gebaut. Der Bau fand in einer politischen Umbruchzeit Zeit statt. Rorbas Freienstein u. Teufen waren unterschiedlichen Bezirken zugehörig. Die Gemeindekassen waren von den Schäden und Ein-quartierungen des Krieges leer. Erstaunlich dass unter so schlechten Rahmen-bedingungen trotzdem ein gelungenes Werk entstehen konnte. So kamen unsere Gemeinden zu der ersten Steinbogenbrücke im Kanton. Bis in die heutige Zeit ist die «Alte Brücke» das verbindende Wahrzeichen der beiden Dörfer. - Bärtschi Willy Alexander 1906 - 1995 Maler Dozent und Publizist .Bauernsohn aus Lützelflüh Gymnasien in Zürich und Frauenfeld Kontakt mit dem Werk des Philosophen Holzapfel. 1928 Eintritt in die Kunstakademie Breslau die er aber bald wieder verliess. 1929 Eintritt in die Kunstakademie in Dresden ab 1930 Schüler von Otto Dix.

1950Best.-Nr. 000365New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition . Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Plus. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cartier Edd jacket. New York: Gnome Press 1950. First Edition. Introduction by Willy Ley. Edited by Martin Greenberg this copy signed inscribed and presented by him to Arthur C. Clarke. Octavo 351 pp. Purple cloth-backed gray cloth boards with silver spine titling and blindstamped launching-spaceship and star motif on purple margin. Pictorial dustjacket by sci-fi illustration luminary Edd Cartier. A near fine book with only minor page edge soiling and a trace of partial spine fade in a Very Good jacket showing light perimeter wear. Singular copy inscribed and presented to Arthur C. Clarke by Greenberg with provenance of unimpeachable order accompanying the book. An increasingly classic collection of short stories by some of the now-timeless sci-fi names. Willy Ley: "Here is a different type of anthology. This book taken in its entirety tells a story: the conquest of space. Moving from man's first attempt to reach the moon to the exploration of the ends of the universe these stories are among the finest ever published." - Willy Ley. Hailed by critics at the time of its publication as a quantum leap forward in both quality and concept for science fiction anthologies Martin Greenberg's thematically edited Men Against the Stars is a collection of twelve lengthy stories whose authors read like a Who's Who of Golden Age sci-fi including Isaac Asimov Murray Leinster A.E. Van Vogt L. Ron Hubbard Hubbard's "When Shadows Fall" is here and E.M. Hull. Not a slap-dash aggregation to get to the printer quickly Greenberg's collection was a thoroughly contemplated and planned project a selection of the very finest available stories on theme ranging back as far as 1939. Nicely complimented by a Cartier's funky pure genre period stylization jacket. A sci-fi presentation copy of the highest sort that of a veteran and astute editor to a future superstar. Arthur C. Clarke's reputation at the time was already becoming established and Greenberg shows the admiration in his skilled critical eye for Clarke's sci-fi talents in his presentation remark.
