1763réf. 1658Read before the Royal Society of London on April 9 1761 Additional Observations upon some Plates of white Glass found at Herculaneum: In a Letter to Charles Morton M.D. R.S.S. By J. Nixon A.M. and F.R.S. deals with new information gleaned from the relics obtained from the ruins of Herculaneum. Herculaneum was an ancient Roman town destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 A.D. It is located in the Italian region of Campania in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. It is most famous for having been lost along with Pompeii Stabiae Boscoreal and Oplontis in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 which buried it in superheated pyroclastic material. It is also famous as one of the few ancient cities that can now be seen in almost its original splendor because unlike Pompeii its burial was so deep as to ensure the building's upper stories remained intact and the hotter ash preserved wooden household objects beds doors etc. and even food. Moreover Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii with an extraordinary density of fine houses with far more lavish use of colored marble cladding. The discovery in recent years of some 300 skeletons along the sea shore came as a surprise since it was known that the town itself had been largely evacuated.

2007réf. 203560New York / London: Museum of Modern Art / Thames & Hudson 2007. Hardcover. VG. Ex-lib but minimally marked. Otherwise a nice clean copy. Oblong Quarto. Hardcover. Bound in red cloth with yellow embossed lettering and a b&w photo pasted to the front center board. 84 unnumbered pages : illustrations portraits ; 24 x 29 cm. In August of 1974 the photographer Nicholas Nixon made a group portrait of his wife Bebe and her three sisters Heather Mimi and Laurie--the Brown sisters. He did not keep that image but in 1975 he made another portrait of the four who then ranged in age between 15 and 25. Working with an 8x10-inch view camera whose large negatives capture a wealth of detail and a luscious continuity of tone Nixon did the same in 1976 and this second successful photograph prompted him to suggest to the sisters that they assemble for another portrait every year. The women agreed and have continued to agree every year since. In 1999 when the resulting series of photographs reached its twenty-fifth anniversary The Museum of Modern Art published The Brown Sisters presenting all of the portraits in sequence. That edition is out of print. Now as the family's "annual rite of passage" as Nixon has called it hits year 33--a third of a century--the Museum is publishing a second edition including eight new photographs that bring the series up to date. "We might wish" writes Peter Galassi the Museum's Chief Curator of Photography "that our family included a photographer of such discipline and skill…but otherwise Nixon's pictures do what all family photographs do: they fix a presence and mark the passage of time graciously declining to expound or explain.
