Volume 1 & 2 bound together in library buckram; Volume 3 in marbled boards with modern bonded leather spine and corners; Volume 4 in library buckram. Volume II is lacking volume title page and index. All volumes trimmed some closer than others. Ex-library with typical markings; bindings are a trifle worn but sturdy; contents are a bit brittle with some closed tears to the folds of the maps a couple of maps have cleanly separated along those tears; occasional early tape repairs to a few leaves and a few maps. Rogers’s geological map is quite crisp and bright. Relatively well-preserved volumes from this landmark publication. An important periodical that ran from 1880 through Volume VI 1885 before being merged into the Industrial South. Jedediah Hotchkiss the editor and publisher is perhaps most remembered as the staff officer of Stonewall Jackson and employed his topographical and cartographical skills to the great benefit of Jackson during the Civil War. After the war Hotchkiss established himself in Staunton VA as a consulting engineer and geologist among other endeavors eventually editing and publishing this present periodical. Given the wealth of information related to natural resources it's easy to imagine that these efforts brought significant funding into the commonwealth at a time it was greatly needed. While there are contributions by most significant geologists of the day as well as maps and sections by Hotchkiss J. Peter Lesley James P. Kimball R. O. Currey John L. Campell and others. But certainly the most notable inclusions is William Barton Rogers’s 1841 geological map of Virginia. This first systematic geological survey of Virginia began in 1835 when Rogers a recognized expert was engaged by the Virginia General Assembly to undertake the task. The manuscript of the map was largely complete when funding for the project was cut off in 1841. This map languished for decades until a version of it Marcou 592 was published in Virginia: A Geographical and Political Summary. Hotchkiss a friend and colleague of Rogers further added to the map and issued it in Vol. I No. 6 of The Virginias 1880. Of this map E. M. Sanchez-Saavedra writes: "The geological map of Virginia is modest in appearance but it contains more information than first meets the eye. Its topography was based on the 1827 Boye nine-sheet map altered to emphasize natural drainage and erosion patterns. The large patches of color representing different formations were the result of Rogers's years in the field—digging climbing and analyzing rock strata." Finally noting that this color coding seems to have been of Roger's invention it would be employed to some degree in subsequent years by John Wesley Powell as he embarked on his ambitious undertaking to map the entirety of the country. This map remains an important piece of Virginia geologic and cartographic history. Sanchez-Saavedra A Description of the Country: Virginia's Cartographers and Their Maps 1607-1881. pp. 103-118.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 224 pp. ; 175 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; This book presents The Hill - a profoundly original massive and enigmatic work of art engineered built and designed by an equally enigmatic American artist. For more than a quarter of a century the American artist James Magee has been engaged in a largely secret and solitary endeavour that takes up 52000 square feet of vast plain in West Texas USA. A former lawyer taxi driver and offshore roughneck Magee settled in El Paso where he has made a name for himself as a painter sculptor poet film and video maker. With 'The Hill' a complex of pavilions joined by ramps and walkways Magee reveals himself to be an architect engineer and builder as well. Luminous photographs of the four buildings in 'The Hill' capture their stark presence in the desert. In addition this book takes readers inside the complex to view enormous installations and sculptures made from natural objects: stone flowers wood iron and glass. Reminiscent of ruins from the Mayan Egyptian and European cultures 'The Hill' is nonetheless distinctively American - from the rolling landscape it inhabits to the Puritan-inspired 'City on a Hill' feeling it evokes. The first volume to fully explore this unique masterpiece The Hill will draw readers into one man's ambitious vision while creating a wider audience for what is certain to be a celebrated art destination. . 2010. 379135079X .

But what happens when the subjects of photographic portraits cannot look back at the photographer or even see their own image An in-depth pictorial study of blind schoolchildren in Mexico Look at me draws attention to and distinctions between the activity of sight and the consciousness of form. Combining aspects of his earlier acclaimed street work with an innovative approach to portraiture Chicago-based photographer Jed Fielding has concentrated closely on these children’s features and gestures probing the enigmatic boundaries between surface and interior innocence and knowing beauty and grotesque. Design composition and the play of light and shadow are central elements in these photographs but the images are much more than formal experiments; they confront disability in a way that affirms life. Fielding’s sightless subjects project a vitality that seems to extend beyond the limits of self-consciousness. In collaborative joyful participation with the children he has made pictures that reveal essential gestures of absorption and the basic expressions of our creatureliness. Fielding’s work achieves what only great art and particularly great portraiture can: it launches and then complicates a process of identification across the barriers that separate us from each other. Look at me contains more than sixty arresting images from which we often want to look away but into which we are nevertheless drawn by their deep humanity and palpable tenderness. This is a monograph of uncommon significance by an important American photographer. . 2009. 0226248526 . University of Chicago Press hardcover

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 96 pp. ; 82 illus. 69 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; John Heliker: Drawing on the New Deal marks the rediscovery of a remarkable and largely unknown body of early work by an eminent American artist. Heliker 1909-2000 developed a highly personal and expressive approach to drawing during the WPA years. His early drawings compare to his Social Realist contemporaries Ben Shahn and Philip Evergood. Heliker shared in their political activism and produced many anti-fascist cartoons for The New Masses some represented here. During WWII and the immediate Postwar years Heliker earned critical acclaim for his bold experimentations with biomorphic and architectonic abstractions. By the late 1950s and in subsequent decades his style became more muted and he achieved a tonalist manner of great poignancy. Heliker developed a nuanced impressionistic painting style in response to abstract expressionism—an approach that characterized his mature style. Heliker earned the Prix de Rome a Guggenheim fellowship and three Ford Foundation purchase prizes among other honors including a full scale retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art 1968. He was connected with the abstract expressionist Philip Guston who became a life-long friend. Heliker taught at Columbia University 1947-74 and later at the Art Students League of New York 1975-78. He co-founded the New York Studio School in 1965 with fellow artists Philip Guston Leland Bell and Mercedes Matter. Heliker was also associated with the composers: Carl Ruggles John Cage and Lou Harrison. He also created mask design for the dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham. . 2011. 1936205327 . Stephen F.
