1913Best.-Nr. 80800Los Angeles: Bradley Bungalow Co 1913. Wraps. Very good. Presumed to be the first and only edition.

The least expensive bungalow design No. 520 is a "renting proposition" that includes one bedroom and bathroom along with a living room den kitchen and screened porch in 529 square feet. The most expensive bungalow design No. 231 is 1584 square feet with two bedrooms a single bathroom living room dining room den a large porch and cement terraces surrounded by low brick walls. After perusing the booklet the working plans and details for each model home could be ordered for $10 from Bradley Bungalow. California bungalows became popular in suburban neighborhoods across the United States from around 1910 to 1939. Designs were spread by the practice of building from mail order plans available from illustrated catalogs sometimes with alterations based on local practice or conditions. Adrian Scott Fine of the Los Angeles Conservancy argues no building type is more synonymous with early Los Angeles than the residential bungalow. It was largely a product of Southern California in response to our climate and the growing Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th Century. The wrappers are toned along the extremities with a small stain to the rear panel; otherwise very good. Scarce OCLC locates no holdings and no copies were found in commerce August 2026.

1720Best.-Nr. 653FKG01U79OVerona 1720. Contemporary stiff paper wrappers. Folio 38.5 x 25.5 cm. With 4 architectural drawings 3 double-page ca. 37 x 50 cm at a scale of about 1:60 and 1 loosely inserted full-page 24 x 35 cm at a scale of about 1:107 skillfully drawn in brown ink and several shades of grey watercolour. Two of the double-page drawings are elevations 1 partly in cross-section the other 2 drawings are floor plans each plan with a folding flap tipped on showing the plan of a higher level. The original designs for the alterations to the chapter library at Verona situated in the Church of St. Helena abutting the famous Cathedral of San Zeno the common wall appears in the drawings. The alteration was ordered by Scipione Maffei 1675-1755 and Jacopo Muselli and executed by the architect Lodovico Perini; it was finished in 1726. In 1713 Maffei a leading scholar poet and man of letters had made a remarkable discovery in the library: in its old cupboards he found late-classical and early Christian manuscripts from the 5th to 9th century stored there centuries earlier apparently to protect them against danger of flooding of the river Adige. On the basis of these old manuscripts and helped by the Canon Carlo Carinelli Maffei formulated a completely new and epoch-making theory regarding the development of the Latin script in three variants: the Roman majuscule the minuscule and the cursive hand showing an uninterrupted evolution from Roman Antiquity to the Renaissance. Maffei published the results of his studies in his Istoria diplomatica 1727 and Verona illustrata 1742. The rediscovery of these old manuscripts also resulted in a revival of Patristic studies and many new editions of the works of the Church Fathers.With some faint stains near the fore-edges an one edge of the loosely inserted drawing and a couple rust spots in the paper but still in very good condition. unknown

An exceptional album with fine views of Sevilla Granada Cordoba San Sebastian and many more. The photographer Jean Laurent was born in France but opened a photo studio in Madrid in 1856. In 1858 the Spanish government commissioned him to photograph the construction of the railroad line from Madrid to Alicante. The results were published and exhibited in many places which brought him considerable success. From 1861-68 Laurent held the title of "Fotógrafo de S. M. la Reina" and produced photos of members of the Spanish royal family. His photo studio in Madrid became one of the best-known from his time which allowed him to open gallery in Paris where he exhibited and sold premium-quality prints from his work in Spain. Although he was interested in industrialisation and intended to convey the image of a modern and economically flourishing country his photographs of the more picturesque aspects of Spain became more popular. The present album contains 34 views of Western Islamic architectural structures and a large 4-part folding panorama of the Alhambra and Granada. Furthermore it contains two examples of photographs on leptographic paper a collodio-chloride printing paper which was sold ready to use. Its manufacture was perfected by Laurent in collaboration with Martínez-Sánchez in 1866.With some slight signs of wear around the spine and the corners of the boards the panorama views are mounted on grey cloth which is somewhat foxed not affecting the actual photograph the album leaves are very slightly browned. Overall in very good condition.l Hannavy Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography II 829/830. hardcover
