A handsomely produced publication a reissue of the 1910 deluxe edition with a new elaborate binding featuring intricate onlays and text reproduced in Pogany's manuscript-style lettering. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was among the artist's most ambitious exercises in total book design drawing consciously on the tradition of medieval illuminated manuscripts. As Richard Dalby observes "Willy Pogány was Dulac's most successful European contemporary during the highest peak of the Golden Age of book illustration. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was his most ornate and impressive production with hand-scripted text full-page black and white drawings and colour plates tipped-in on grey matte paper. This combination of illustration and calligraphic text by the artist was rarely repeated" p. 87. Quarto.

rif. P6615Mülheim/Ruhr and from December 1972 Cologne: self-published 1970-1977. Quartos 30 × 21 cm. Original mostly pictorial self-wrappers a few issues staple-stitched; each issue between 14 and 32 pp. with numerous illustrations. A few issues have been punched and somewhat closely trimmed; in the July 1971 issue pages 9 and 10 are missing; otherwise with only light signs of wear and handling and about very good. Extensive run of seven nearly complete years see list below of the longest-running periodical of postwar German anarchism. The journal often printed monthly appeared from 1948 to 1978. The years offered here from 1971 to 1978 were presumably the most politically eventful for the clandestine periodical which following the student protests of 1967 and 1968 sought to hold its own alongside the numerous new socialist and communist organizations and publications. The founder and longtime editor Willy Huppertz 1904-1978 had already been active as an anarcho-syndicalist worker during the Weimar Republic. After surviving National Socialism including imprisonment in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp he founded his first anarchist periodical in the Soviet occupation zone together with Wilhelm Jelinek. After Huppertz moved to West Germany Jelinek sent him the subscribers' list in order to keep it out of the reach of the Soviet secret service. Jelinek was arrested by the Soviet army in 1948 and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He died in the notorious prison in Bautzen. Cf. Michael Kubina Von Utopie Widerstand und Kaltem Krieg Hamburg 2001 pp. 269f. Huppertz continued his anarchist publishing activities in West Germany's industrial Ruhr region. From 1948 onward his anarchist periodical appeared under the name "Befreiung." As an anarchist he viewed the student protests that began in the late 1960s and the extra-parliamentary opposition APO with skepticism. This skepticism was directed on the one hand at Marxists of the Leninist and Maoist varieties but also on the other at the anti-authoritarian movement of the hippies which was being "swallowed up" by "record producers and organizers of pop festivals." One of the issues addressing the counterculture states: "They do business with you your drugs and your music. Jimi Hendrix is just as much a brand-name product as Peter Alexander German-language popular singer. . What you are doing is merely a skillful accommodation to capitalism. By refusing to work and living by begging e.g. in sunny fascist Spain or Greece you in no way unsettle the system of exploitation" June 1971 p. 7. Huppertz was nevertheless able for example to connect with the squatting movement and with small anarchist groups that were able to establish themselves alongside the socialist and communist organizations. Despite the political differences the "Baader-Meinhof Group" RAF became a subject from 1972 onward insofar as the anarchist milieu saw itself confronted by a "police state." In February 1972 issues and distribution materials were confiscated in Cologne and Mülheim and investigations were initiated for "supporting the Baader-Meinhof Group." Since the fall of 1970 the group "Anarchosyndikat Köln" had been involved in the editorial work. In 1974 Huppertz handed over the editorial work entirely to the Cologne group under the leadership of Ralf Stein. That same year Stein was arrested and in 1975 sentenced to one year in prison without a suspended sentence for supporting the Baader-Meinhof Group denigration of the Federal Republic of Germany and incitement of the people.

1903rif. AMO-2397Paris, Albin Michel, 1903 1 volume in-18 (19,5 x 13 cm) de LXV-(1)-383 pages. Nombreuses illustrations en noir au trait dans le texte par Wely. Portrait photographique de Claudine (actrice Polaire) en écolière en frontispice. Reliure de l'époque demi-maroquin à coins havane, dos lisse orné doré, filets dorés sur les plats, tête dorée, non rogné (relié sur brochure). Couverture illustrée en couleurs par Wely (les deux plats et le dos conservés). Exccellent état. Très beau papier de Hollande. ÉDITION ORIGINALE. UN DES RARES EXEMPLAIRES SUR HOLLANDE, CELUI-CI PARAPHÉ PAR WILLY ET NUMÉROTÉ "N° HUIT [signé] WILLY" Les exemplaires sur grands papiers ne sont pas annoncés sur les exemplaires ordinaires. Il doit y avoir une dizaine d'exemplaires seulement sur ce papier. Le volume contient au début la plaidoirie de Maître J. Paul-Boncour pour la maîtresse du Prince Jean. L'ouvrage fut condamné. Cette première édition est la seule complète, les suivantes ayant été expurgées des passages les plus scabreux. "Willy est plus sourd encore que sa vertu n'est muette !... Du moins, cette Maîtresse du Prince Jean, a un mérite : elle ne prendra pas son lecteur en traître. Elle arrive à lui munie d'un casier judiciaire propre à le mettre en garde : dès avant son apparition, elle fut poursuivie, jugée et condamnée ; aussi, ceux qui voudront aller plus loin que la couverture du livre et en sortiront le rouge au front sauront à qui s'en prendre ; ils auront été prévenus. Je sais bien que l'éditeur, malin, a placé en tète du livre la délicieuse plaidoirie où M. Paul-Boncourt entreprit de démontrer à la justice de son pays que la Maîtresse du prince Jean n'était, mon Dieu, pas si immorale qu'on le voulait prétendre ; je sais bien qu'il l'a fait avec un luxe étonnant de verbe, d'esprit et d'aimable sophisme, et qu'il a réussi à être persuasif puisque je m'y suis laissé prendre et que j'ai lu le livre. Cette lecture m'a édifié — si j'ose dire — et je puis affirmer, en connaissance de cause que ce roman, même « épousseté », est terriblement scabreux. Je le sais d'autant mieux que j'ai lu jusqu'à la dernière page — il me faut faire mon mea culpa — car trop souvent le rire et le sourire désarmèrent ma colère ; et ainsi j'ai connu complètement les aventures de ce prince fantôme et de cette trop réelle et plantureuse Gaétane, et j'ai fréquenté le poète carottier Lauban, et Smiley, le littérateur, et aussi l'immuable Maugis, Journaliste notoire, qui ressemble à Willy comme un frère et qui en est très fier, le monstre ! J'ai vu, J'ai lu tout cela, et malgré moi j'y ai pris plaisir. Du moins, pour m'en punir et pour me réhabiliter à mes yeux. Je devais mettre en garde mes contemporains contre la séduction de la Maîtresse du prince Jean, leur affirmer que c'est un livre à ne pas lire et, puisque j'ai été victime de ma curiosité, empêcher les autres de céder à la leur, car s'ils ouvrent le livre, ils sont perdus, ils feront comme moi, ils iront jusqu'au bout." in Le Figaro du 31 juillet 1903, article signé Frédéric Charpin.

rif. 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.

1950rif. 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.
