In Couture Culture Nancy Troy offers a new model of how art and fashion were linked in the early twentieth century. Focusing on a leader of the French fashion industry Paul Poiret Troy uncovers a logic of fashion based on the tension between originality and reproduction that bears directly on art historical issues of the period. This tension lies at the heart of haute couture which although designed for the wealthy was also intended to be adapted for sale in department stores and other clothing outlets that catered to a broader consumer market. Troy examines the relationships between elite and popular culture the professional theater and the fashion show as well as the presumed polarity between Orientalist and classical sensibilities. She shows how Poiret and other designers patronized the arts and presented themselves as artists not only to sell their individual dresses to wealthy clients but also to promote the mass production of their designs. The contradictions she uncovers suggest surprising parallels with the readymades and fashion-related work of Marcel Duchamp who explored the questions of originality and authenticity raised by couture culture during the 1910s and 1920s.--Amazon.

1924réf. List3678New York City: Clarence Williams 1924. Folio measuring 12 x 9 inches 5 pp. With an attractive period style illustration by Sydney Leff with his printed signature in the lower right corner. Fine condition. A very scarce surviving example of the sheet music for "Cakewalking Babies from Home" a cornerstone early jazz-blues composition issued through Clarence Williams’s publishing enterprise at the moment when New Orleans–derived ensemble practice was reshaping American popular music. Written by Williams with Chris Smith and Henry Troy the piece bridges late ragtime syncopation and emerging small-group jazz textures. Though widely disseminated through performance and recording it appears to have circulated only sparingly as domestic sheet music. The song achieved lasting fame through the celebrated 1924 New York recording sessions by the Clarence Williams Blue Five Okeh 8256 featuring Eva Taylor vocal Louis Armstrong cornet Sidney Bechet soprano saxophone Clarence Williams piano and Buddy Christian banjo; a landmark early small-ensemble performance often cited for its dynamic Armstrong–Bechet interplay and its role in defining early jazz ensemble language.12 Circulating widely among classic blues singers vaudeville performers and musicians within Williams’s publishing network and the TOBA circuit the composition reflects the porous boundary between theatrical blues dance music and emerging jazz repertory in mid-1920s Harlem and Chicago. As noted in Smithsonian jazz educational materials “the roots of jazz are heard clearly… in ‘Cake Walking Babies from Home’”.3 Despite its well-documented performance and recording history institutional holdings of the sheet music itself appear extremely limited.

1626réf. 4177Venice: Giovanni Antonio Giuliani 1626. 16mo 142 x 99 mm. Collation: A-G16 G16 blank removed. 222 pages. Double column small roman types. Large woodcut on title 20 small woodcuts in the text printed from four blocks two used once each the others repeated. Printing flaw A9v. A couple of tiny marginal tears slight creasing to leaves at end. 20th-century tree-marbled glazed paper over flexible pasteboards. Provenance: “Bagio” inscription on front pastedown; Ex fondatione Giorgii --- illegible ownership inscription on title. Unrecorded edition of a popular verse account of the fall of Troy. Part of the “prehistory of the Italian romance epic” Everson the Trojan tale circulated in several versions during the late medieval period. Like the other Italian versions this anonymous poem in 20 cantos in ottava rima may have been loosely based on the 13th-century Latin prose narrative Historia Troiana by Guido delle Colonne. Both poems emphasize Rome’s Trojan lineage. The earliest recorded edition of this version dates to 1483 GW 12519 1 extant copy an inconvenient fact for a later attribution to the poet Jacopo di Carlo who was in fact the printer of the 1491 edition. In the sixteenth century the educated classes enjoyed the tale which was sometimes even read in schools. The spread of literacy stimulated the production of cheaper chapbook editions like this one thriftily printed in very small types with repeated impressions of the woodblocks of battle scenes. The larger title cut printed from a worn block which is missing part of the border shows a small skirmish of soldiers in medieval armor. Editions appeared throughout the 17th century mainly in Venice but also in Padua and Verona.
