It sets aside the conventional category of "portrait" to assess the idea of photographing the face as if it were an anthropological occasion or semiotic act rather than merely an artistic genre.

The second titlepage with a fes brownspots otherwise clean and fine. First appearance of a milestone paper in astronomy giving the solution of the great problem of distances in the universe which had baffled astronomers ever since the time of Copernicus announcing the FIRST SUCCESSFUL DISPLACEMENT OR PARALLAX OF A FIXED STAR and hence deducing the FIRST RELIABLE DISTANCE OF THE EARTH TO A FIXED STAR. The parallax observed corresponded to ab. 600.000 times that of the earth from the sun. On these grounds Bessel calculated the distance to about 11 light years and this was confirmed by fresh investigations by Bessel in 1839-40 the second paper offered. In 1842-43 it was also confirmed by C.A.F. Peters at Pulkowa. It is the first published instance of the fathom-line thrown into celestial space.Bessel communicated his observations in Comptes Rendus in a letter to Humboldt the offered paper dated Nov. 5 1838 in "Monthly Notices" in letter to J. Herschel and in "Astronomische Nachrichten" Vol. 16 No 365-66 pp. 65-96 1838 where a more detail account was published.Ther paper "Bestimmung der Entfernung des 61sten Stern des Schwans" in "Astronomische Nachrichten" is dated at the end: Altona 1838 Dec. 13.Bessel's investigation was hailed by John Herschel when Bessel was awarded the R.A.S. gold medal "The greatest and most glorious triumph which practical astronomy has ever witnessed". "For determining the parallax of 61 Cygni Bessel selected two comparison stars of magnitude 9-10 at distances of roughly eight and twelve minutes of arc. 61 Cygni is a physical double star whose components differ in brightness by less than one magnitude. The distance of sixteen seconds of arc between the components favored the accuracy of the determination of the parallax because pointing could be carried out with two star images. After observing for eighteen months by the fall of 1838 Bessel had enough measurements for the determination of a reliable parallax. He found that p = 0.314 with a mean error of ±:0.020. This work was published in the Astronomische Nachrichten 1838 the first time the distance of a star became known. Bessel’s value for the parallax shows excellent agreement with the results obtained by extensive modern photographical parallax determinations."

1969ref. 32779Holywood: Desilu Studios unpublished Circa 1969-1971. A reel of original black and white 16mm film containing a film print of the full footage of the blooper reels Roddenberry had assembled following seasons one and two of STAR TREK September 8 1966 to March 29 1968. Roughly fifteen minutes of black and white footage from film originally rescued from the cutting-room floor at Deslu Studios. On a contemporary 12.5 inch film spool and in a film can from the same period. The digital print is made from the actual film provided and is on modern "thumb-drive" media. Request for conversion to DVD. The celluloid film appears to be very well preserved there is no odor of acetate or evidence of brittleness associated with degraded film the actual projected images range from scene to scene but are as in virtually all known examples generally of fairly low quality. The history of the their creation and early distribution explains this. A VERY ENJOYABLE AND YET ALSO AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL ITEM FROM THE MOST FAMOUS TELEVISION SCIENCE FICTION SERIES OF ALL TIME. STAR TREK has lived on to be a cultural phenomenon with an almost 60 year life comprised of twelve television series twelve major motion pictures and a countless array of books graphic novels parodies and various merchandise. In the history of modern Science Fiction only STAR WARS rivals its popularity. The STAR TREK bloopers were also the first generally viewed or distributed films of their kind. In the decades since bloopers have become big business spawning a popular television series and commonly shown at the end of movies such as the Marvel film series and Dreamworks productions. But prior to STAR TREK unusable footage such as this was in virtually all cases simply discarded. The making of the STAR TREK Blooper Reels began as a labor of love. Series creator Gene Roddenberry hand-assembled the first original reel from film scraps rescued from the cutting room floor of things such as goof-ups horseplay practical jokes etc. This first reel was made to show to the cast production staff and other studio personal at a 1966 Desilu Christmas party. It was a hit and he had a few copies made to give as gifts to the studio execs. At the conclusion of season one he created a second reel using film from reel one combined with additional new footage from the episodes produced after Christmas. Copies of this reel were also produced again as gifts to studio execs. Another reel was made using clips from season two. STAR TREK was canceled in 1968 but knowing it had a broad base of mostly well educated fans the studio heavily promoted it for syndication. These afternoon "reruns" quickly gave the series a second life. Roddenberry began as early as 1969 going to colleges to give public speaking appearances and occasionally brought along his copies of the popular "bloopers". These appearances eventually led to the early S.T. conventions where Roddenberry would speak and often show his film reels. Eventually as the conventions grew in popularity copies were made from Roddenberry's copies for wider distribution. And occasionally copies of those copies were made to sell to the devoted fans. While the original broadcast episodes of the series were protected by copyright the editing room scraps were not. The conventions could show these as they pleased; and in fact the series owners by this time Paramount/Gulf Western encouraged it as free advertising for the franchise; they would later try to clamp down on this but the genie was already out of the bottle. The distribution reels being made from Roddenberry's already well-loved and often-shown originals is what accounts for the generally poor audio and video to be found on the film. Fan complaints about the viewing quality go back as far as the early 1970s. No official effort to restore or market the bloopers has ever been made though parts of them showed up on unauthorized VHS anthologies in the 1980s and later on unauthorized DVDs. The reel of film offered here contains the full season one reel combined with the full reel from season two making for just over 15 minutes of viewing pleasure. It is also an uncommon example as it was produced in black and white. The bloopers themselves provide a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse not only into STAR TREK but into the television industry of the era. They show us a typically good-natured group of fun and creative people who seem to be genuinely enjoying their work. Many of the scenes are physical mishaps such as tripping falling dropping things or walking into doors that happens a lot. Others are line flubs and slips of the tongue and many more are the cast of actors just goofing around horse-playing or pulling gags on one and other. Much of the activity is clearly from a different era and would be considered highly "workplace inappropriate" by today's standards! [Desilu Studios, unpublished] unknown

1977ref. 16625JNew York 1977. Measuring 8 by 10 inches. Signed in blue ink: Best wishes Alec Guinness. Former ownership stamp and writing on verso in fine condition. When Guinness read the script for Star Wars was reluctant to do the film but Lucas badly wanted a major star and he offered Guinness $150000 plus 2% of profits and Guinness agreed and became Obi-Wan Kenobi and later was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award. Guinness had made a stipulation his character would die before the end of the movie so he would not have to appear in the inevitable sequels which he actually did briefly appear in! Guinness was shocked by the huge success of Star Wars and the financial windfall it gave him. He would occasionally sign photographs from Stars War but they are not common. unknown
ref. 158636N.p.: N.p. 1971. Vintage two-color poster for an unseen performance by punk icons the Stooges queer hippie theatre troupe the Cockettes all-girl rock group The GTOs and John Mendelsohn's short-lived rock band Super Star held at the Hollywood Palladium on July 16 1971. The show would ultimately be canceled after The Stooges formally broke up on July 9 1971. A preview of The Cockettes' satirical 1971 film "Tricia's Wedding" was also to have been shown. The film featured The Cockettes reenacting President Nixon's daughter Tricia's wedding to Edward Cox interspersed with a number of humorous scenes including Eartha Kitt spiking the punch bowl with LSD. Even before it was canceled it's hard to imagine how this concert would have come together given the clashing styles of the acts. Founded in 1969 in San Francisco the Cockettes were a performance art group that performed improvised musical numbers in elaborate genderbending costumes and had become a sensation among the West Coast arts and culture scene. The GTOs were a satirical rock band formed in Los Angeles with ties to Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa who would produce the band's only album Permanent Damage 1969. And the Stooges were simply the Stooges. 11.25 x 26 inches. About Near Fine. N.p. unknown

1943ref. 53630Tunisia 1943. Nearly Fine. Five-pointed yellow cloth star sewn onto plain beige cloth 7.3 by 9 cm. Yellow dye somewhat faded else in fine state of preservation. Specimen of the yellow star imposed on the Jewish population of Tunisia in March 1943 as a mark of the slave laboror. Tunisia was the only Islamic country to come under Nazi rule at first indirectly through the Vichy regime in France between 1940 and its liberation by Allied forces on May 7 1943. In response to the Allied invasion of Algeria and Morocco German and Italian forces invaded Tunisia on November 9 1942. By the end of November the Germans took the first anti-Jewish move by arresting four of the community leaders including Moïse Borgel the president of the Jewish congregation. "In addition to the governor-general's sympathetic attitude -- and in some degree to the pro-Jewish attitude of Bey Sidi Mohammed al-Mounsaf -- the Italians also in practice interfered with the application of the anti-Jewish laws" E.H. The dignitaries were released after a week following the intervention of the mayor of Tunis and the Italian consul. Because of objections by the Italians the edict to wear the star does not appear to have been generally enforced with rigor and was only formally imposed in two cities Sfax and Tunis. While 5000 Jews had originally been put on forced labor in thirty locations and camps along the front line "at the time of the collapse and surrenter in early May 1943 only sixteen hundred Jews were employed on forced labor" E.H. Given the relatively small labor force and the lack of zeal in imposing the anti-Jewish ordinances it is clear why so few of these yellow badges have survived. References: I. Gutman ed.

A função imperial e as possessões dos Habsburgos foram entregues ao seu irmão Fernando I. Carlos viveu no mosteiro de Yuste tendo ali morrido em 1558. O humanista aragonês Juan Cristóbal Calvete de Estrella ca. 1510/20-1593 pertenceu à corte espanhola de Carlos V que o nomeou tutor do príncipe Filipe 1527-1598 em 1541. Acompanhou Filipe nestas viagens pelo que o seu livro constitui uma fonte primária essencial tanto para a vida e personalidade do futuro rei Filipe II que viria a trazer a Espanha a sua idade de ouro e o seu maior poder e riqueza como para os primórdios das suas relações com os Países Baixos que viriam a revoltar-se contra o rei e provocar a queda do poder de Espanha e a desenvolver a sua própria idade de ouro como Estado independente. Calvete de Estrella permaneceu em Antuérpia quando Filipe regressou a Espanha tendo aí mandado imprimir o seu livro. Trata-se de um excelente trabalho de produção de livros que antecipa o papel que Antuérpia viria a desempenhar como principal centro de impressão e edição da Europa.

This work fits in with the transfer of powers abdication and transfer of Emperor Charles V. In the last years of his Imperial function the following events occurred: In 1548 the document proposed by the Emperor - the Interin of Augsburg - and it was not accepted by Protestants nor by the Pope. The city of Magdeburg the centre of the Protestant resistance is banished from the Empire. In 1552 Maurice of Saxony responsible for implementing the decree armed secretly and surprised the Emperor. Defeat of Charles V in Innsbruck. The Emperor and the Protestant Princes sign the Treaty of Nassau. In the years 1552-1556 there was a war between Charles V and Henry II of France who had occupied Metz Toul and Verdun. In 1553 Maurice of Saxony defeated Albert Marquis of Brandenburg-Culmach in Sievershausen but was mortally wounded. In 1554 there was a signature of the Treaty of Crépy. In 1555 occurs the violent suppression of anti Calvinist revolt in Geneva. The city has become a refuge center for English and French Protestants and a radiation point of the Calvinist doctrine. In 1555 was signed the Peace of Augsburg which recognizes the Protestants freedom of worship and property. The territorial princes and free cities that had accepted the Augsburg Confession had now freedom of worship the right to introduce the Reformation in their territory jus reformandi and equal rights of Catholic states. In 1556 Charles V signed the Peace with Henry II of France. In the same year occurred the the abdication of Charles V in Brussels effective in 1558. Charles V abdicated in favour of his son Philip II the sovereignty of the Netherlands Castile Leon Aragon and Catalonia Navarre Naples Sardinia Sicily the Duchy of Milan and the Indies. The imperial role and the possessions of the Habsburgs were delivered to his brother Ferdinand I. Charles lived his last years in the monastery of Yuste in Spain and died there in 1558. The Aragon humanist scholar Juan Cristóbal Calvete de Estrella ca. 1510/20-1593 served in the Spanish court of Charles V who appointed him tutor to Prince Philip 1527-1598 in 1541. He accompanied Philip on these travels so that his book forms an essential primary source for both the life and personality of the future King Philip II who was to bring Spain its golden age and its greatest power and wealth and for the early beginnings of his relations with the Netherlands which was to revolt against the King bring about Spain"s fall from power and develop its own golden age as an independent state. Calvete de Estrella remained in Antwerp when Philip returned to Spain having his book printed there. It is an excellent piece of book production anticipating the role Antwerp was to play as Europe"s leading centre of printing and publishing. Referências/References: Adams C264; Belg.
