1996réf. 51452Minneapolis: Walker Art Center 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Very good to fine condition. Large Quarto. 224 2pp. Original blue half-cloth over color-illustrated light blue boards with black lettering on cover white on spine. Dark blue endpapers. Catalog for the traveling exhibition of Hannah Höch's photomontages at the Walker Art Center the MOMA New York and the LACMA in Los Angeles organized by the Walker Art Center. Profusely illustrated with full page color and in-text b/w reproductions of Höch's extraordinary work throughout. "The complex interplay between public and private that typifies Höch's work in photomontage stands in utter defiance of our historically conditioned expectations. Given her roots in the most socially active wing of the international Dada movement and her near-exclusive use of illustrated periodicals for the source imagery of her pieces there is an expectation that Höch's photomontages be "public"–that is deal with public issues and public perceptions. Höch's work tells us–by omission as much as inclusion–what it was like to be a woman and an artist during the time in which she lived." Boswell. Contains chronology exhibition history bibliography and index at rear. Binding with light wear along edges interior in fine condition. Walker Art Center hardcover

1786réf. 23288London: Printed for Alex Hogg n.d but 1786. hardcover. Rebacked as noted covers show some scuffing corners reinforced sometime in the distant past 2 pages with mends to lower margins otherwise text and plates very clean and quite free of foxing with scattered mostly minor offsetting from plates to text. Overall a very nice copy. Folio 40cm original sheep rebacked retaining spine and lettering piece; iv 42 pp. introductory the remaining text an unpaginated 520 pp 247 plates including 51 mostly full-page county and regional maps some with 2 images on the plate plans and including a large folding plate at rear a facsimile of the 1648 document indicting Charles II. 4-page subscriber list and 4-page index to the plates at rear. Plates many with multiple images on the plate include besides castles and various antiquities 3 each of English coins and seals. The work was issued in 100 parts apparently in rather random sequence. Gatherings are unsigned throughout and in this volume part numbering ceases after part 70. However the instructions to the binder at the tail of the last index page makes suggestions for creating order and these have mostly been followed though the Cambridgshire map is found late in the volume opposite the "Description of Cambridge Castle" rather than opposite the descriptive text for the County in part 31. Maps are by Thomas Kitchin and first appeared in the London Magazine from 1747-1760 except the Yorkshire map which is by T. Conder 1784. See Whitaker: The Harold Whitaker Collection Leeds 1947 p53. According to Lowndes the plates are copied from Francis Grose Printed for Alex Hogg hardcover

Pottle 92. Spines just slightly and evenly sunned to a very pleasing burgundy one front hinge exposed with no hint of looseness offsetting from and onto the folding facsimiles other trivial imperfections but A LOVELY SET clean and fresh internally with attractively colored plates in a luscious and lustrous binding with virtually no signs of use. This is the first illustrated edition of the work generally considered to be the greatest biography in any language here embellished with additional portraits of Johnson's associates and views of important places in his life. First published in 1791 Boswell's account of Dr. Johnson reveals the most fully realized figure in literature and it prefigures modern biography in emphasizing the character of the subject rather than his deeds. It is also a tribute to Boswell's genius in that the bulk of the text is made up of accounts by the author of situations that he himself created so that his subject would be prompted to behave in a revealing and memorable way. Boswell "was a consummate impresario stage-managing the setting and 'dramatis personae' amidst which Johnson would glitter and then providing topics and opinions to elicit the magnificent rejoinders of Johnson." The result is that we see an unforgettable portrait of a man brilliant and profound and at the same time dogmatic overbearing prejudiced and irascible. Day This edition also includes Johnson's journal of his visit to the Hebrides Islands and "anecdotes by Hawkins Piozzi Murphy Tyers Reynolds Steevens &c. and notes by various hands" in the two final volumes which have the running title "Johnsoniana." Our handsome set is a good example of the early 20th century decorative work typical of the Bayntun firm founded in Bath in 1894 and now the last of the great Victorian trade binderies still in family ownership. It is not terribly uncommon to encounter extra-illustrated examples of this and similar sets of major literary works but it is unusual to find such a set with all the illustrations hand colored.
