Margaret Mee (1909-88) traveled to the Amazon area 15 times over a 32 year period, by canoe, on foot and often alone. Her paintings and sketches "could stand without shame in the high company of such masters as Georg Dionysius Ehret and Redoute" (Wilfred Blunt). Mee was a passionate conservationist and devoted her life to recording the diversity and beauty of the Amazon. She was one of the first to protest the destruction still taking place there. Sitwell in Great Flower Books describes her work as: 'exceptional and quite in the tradition of the great eighteenth-century books '. 'Mee's work is of an unusually high order of excellence and in the best tradition of flower painting' [Taylor, director of Royal Botanic Garden of Kew]. 'Mee was a talented botanical painter and intrepid traveller. . .an exceptional personality' [Oak Spring Flora]. One of the plants illustrated was discovered by Mee herself.

1782ref. 8291Madrid: Imprenta Real 1782. First Edition Primera edición. Hardcover Tapa dura. Madrid Imprenta Real s.a. 1782. En folio. 31 h. 326 136 24 pp. 1 lámina. Encuadernación en pergamino a la romana de finales del siglo diecinueve planos con rueda gofrada y flor en los vértices lomera con tejuelo en marroquén y letrería también dorada. Primera edición de las Ordenanzas de Intendentes para el virreinato del Río de la Plata posiblemente las ordenanzas más importantes que se dictaron para América. Las primeras ordenanzas se dieron para los cuerpos de intendentes en España en 1718 que después sirvieron de ejemplo para las de América. Las Ordenanzas definen a los Intendentes en América como magistrados puestos para fomentar la agricultura promover el comercio estimular la industria y favorecer la minería; la legislación general para los intendentes se fue configurando a medida que se iban solventando las deficiencias que aparecían en el ejercicio diario de sus funciones. La primeras ordenanzas en América se establecieron en Cuba en 1764. Las presentes Ordenanzas para el virreinato de Buenos Aires o Río de la Plata fueron las primeras que se realizaron para el continente americano y son la base de las leyes relativas al comercio y la hacienda en América durante el reinado de Carlos III hasta el fin de la dominación española en América. La premura en este virreinato fue producto de la situación de crisis y conflicto que la sublevación indígena había conseguido establecer en gran parte de su jurisdicción especialmente en el Alto Perú. Este levantamiento indígena que se dio de manera simultánea en distintos lugares tuvo uno de sus focos en Chayanta Potosí liderado por los hermanos Kataris el cual extendiéndose por el altiplano terminó contactando con el movimiento de Tupac Amaru y alcanzando un importante impacto en ciudades como Oruro o La Paz. Una de las quejas de los indígenas sublevados fue la extorsión y abusos de los corregidores. La reforma administrativa a partir de la aplicación del régimen de intendencias contemplaba entre uno de sus objetivos acabar con la odiosa figura del corregidor de indios y sustituirla por los subdelegados. Ejemplar con extensas anotaciones contemporáneas en los márgenes y con dos folios manuscritos adicionales. La primera hoja que contiene la lámina con el escudo está restaurada en el margen interior pero sin afectar al grabado por lo demás es un magnífico ejemplar con muy amplios márgenes.

Accompanying the Guggenheim's exhibition of the same name it examines the interwar period in its key artistic manifestations and their interpretations of classical values and aesthetics: the poetic dream of antiquity in the Parisian avant garde of Fernand Leger and Pablo Picasso; the politicized revival of the Roman Empire under Benito Mussolini by artists such as Giorgio de Chirico and Mario Sironi; and the austere functionalist utopianism of the Bauhaus as well as more chillingly the pseudo-biological classicism or Aryanism of nascent Nazi society. This presentation of the seismic transformations in interbellum French Italian and German culture encompasses painting sculpture photography architecture film fashion and the decorative arts. Among the other artists surveyed here are Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Andre Derain Gino Severini Jean Cocteau Le Corbusier Amedee Ozenfant Madeleine Vionnet Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann Carlo Carra Giorgio Morandi Massimo Campigli Achille Funi Ubaldo Oppi Felice Casorati Giuseppe Terragni Gio Ponti Arturo Martini Georg Kolbe Oskar Schlemmer Otto Dix Georg Scholz Georg Schrimpf Wilhelm Schnarrenberger and August Sander. . 2010. 0892074043 .
