Jacques-Etienne Marconis 1795-1868 was a French author and freemason. His father served in the Napoleonic army where he became obsessed with Egyptian religion and myth. Upon his return to France in 1815 he founded a freemasonry lodge called the Pilgrims of Memphis but the chapter was disbanded only one year later. He entrusted the archives to his son who reformed and revived the charter in 1839 but his small group of pilgrims failed to receive dispensation from the freemasonry governing body the Grand Orient of France. In 1859 Marconis applied again to the Grand Orient for masonic chapterhood and it was finally granted. This book represents the final iteration of the foundation of the Rite of Memphis a project that took over 40 years to come to fruition. OCLC locates no copies in U.S. libraries.

1976ref. 192297New York: Ballantine Books 1976. A long time ago in a publishing house far far away. First edition signed by the ghostwriter Alan Dean Foster on the title page though solely credited to George Lucas. Published five months before the film's release this popular novelization was the world's first encounter with a long-form story from the galaxy far far away. The cover bears one of Ralph McQuarrie's famous concept illustrations a critical element in 20th Century Fox's decision to greenlight the Star Wars project. Before audiences had seen the special effects heard the sound design or absorbed John Williams's orchestral score Lucas's fast and intense story sold millions of copies. This book version is "perhaps most notable for allowing its readers to experience the interiority of characters from the film. Although the film establishes Leia's willingness to shoot the stormtroopers the novelization allows its readers to imagine the consequences of her act more vividly by narrating the stormtrooper's thoughts and aspirations" Webster p. 51. The novelization includes several key details omitted from the finished 1977 film but later retconned into the series including Palpatine p. 1 the Sith p. 8 and a medal for Chewbacca p. 219. By contrast the most famous opening line in film is here given as "Another galaxy another time". Octavo. Original pictorial wrappers designed by Ralph McQuarrie edges yellow. Bookseller ink stamp to first leaf. Extremities of wrappers creased and rubbed rear wrapper and bottom edge warped occasional spotting. A very good copy. Jeremy W.

1960ref. 236661960. Cedric Dover's survey of African American visual art from early portraiture through the postwar period published in 1960 while the work of Black artists remained marginal within standard American art histories. Dover connects artistic production to slavery emancipation migration industrial labor the Harlem Renaissance federal arts programs and the growth of Black cultural institutions. Reproductions of works by Aaron Douglas Charles White Richmond Barthé Jacob Lawrence William H. Johnson Hale Woodruff Selma Burke and others establish a lineage across painting sculpture drawing printmaking and mural art. Dover Cedric. American Negro Art. New York: New York Graphic Society 1960. First edition. 186 pages. 8vo.

Dover's text addresses the circumstances under which Black artists studied exhibited and found patronage with sections including "Mulattoes and Atelier Art" "For Aaron Douglas" and "The Artists." One illustrated spread reproduces Charles White's mural sketch for the Harlem Hospital beside Douglas's The Continuation of Life while another places a photograph of industrial workers beside Hale Woodruff's printmaking and William H. Johnson's Aunt Alice. Dover an Anglo Indian writer and scholar who published extensively on race anthropology and modern art presents African American art as a continuous field shaped by both formal experimentation and the political conditions governing Black life. His discussion of Harlem Renaissance circles historically Black colleges museum access commercial galleries and federal patronage records the institutional structures through which artists built careers despite segregation and restricted exhibition opportunities. The book's period terminology including its title and chapter language records the vocabulary through which African American art was categorized by publishers and scholars at midcentury. Light shelf wear to binding; permanent marker block on title page else clean and firmly bound. Overall very good condition. A substantial midcentury attempt to place African American artists within the history of American modernism through named works institutions movements and individual careers. unknown
