FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 208 pp. ; 132 illus. 50 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; In 1989 Malcolm McLaren had his only number one hit with a single called "Deep in Vogue." Early the next year Madonna had one of the biggest hits of her career with the single "Vogue" and when Jennie Livingston's film Paris Is Burning arrived in cinemas the same year winning the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival the mainstream got hip to New York City's extraordinary ball culture from which the film and McLaren and Madonna's songs had arisen. Paris Is Burning documented a gay ballroom scene that emerged in Harlem in the mid-1980s which drew African American and Latino gay and transgender communities to compete against one another for their dancing skills the verisimilitude of their drag and their ability to walk on the runway. Photographer Chantal Regnault spent many years recording this scene from which the dance style known as voguing arose. A visual riot of fashion polysexuality and subversive style Voguing and the Gay Balls of New York City is also an extraordinary document on sexuality and race. The wild years of voguing are vividly captured in Regnault's hundreds of amazing previously unpublished photographs. The book also features interviews with key figures from the movement essays flyers and ephemera. Photographer and documentarist Chantal Regnault was born in France. She left Paris after the 1968 uprisings to live in New York where she lived for the next 15 years. At the end of the 1980s she became immersed in Harlem's voguing scene. Also around this time Regnault developed an interest in Haitian voodoo culture and began to divide her time between Haiti and New York. Her widely published photographs have appeared in major magazines and newspapers including Vanity Fair and The New York Times. 20120201 . 2011. 0955481767 . SJ BOOKS; D. A. P.

1600réf. 032381Paris: Marc Orry 1600 A good copy of the 2nd French edition of Joseph Acosta's important work on the New World first published in Spanish in 1590. Acosta was a Jesuit who spent 17 years in South America and Mexico. His work based on careful observation formed one of the first accounts of the New World. This copy is in probably contemporary full vellum binding with yapp edges. The original ties have gone. It is difficult to say if the binding was hard or soft cover because at some point in its history it has had an old stiff embossed wallpaper with gilt birds and flowers used to form new endpapers. There are no pages before the title page which has had a strip added at the bottom and which is coming loose. Contents: title page; dedication pp ii-iv; advert; poems 4pp; Extrait du Privilege du Roi 1p; Text in 7 books pp 1-375; table of contents 34 pp. The text pages are numbered on the recto only. With decorative head pieces and initial capitals. The text is very clean with just the occasional mark and some light underlining at p 238 but p 58 is missing. P 31 is mispaginated as p 13; p 267 is un-numbered and p 97 is very thin with a hole in the bottom margin. The final third of the book is quite difficult to open fully - probably because of the way the endpapers have been added. Marc Orry hardcover
réf. 74685(Paris, Chez les auteurs), (1775), in-folio, 15 planches rehaussées, En feuilles, sous chemise et étui modernes, Quinze magnifiques planches provenant de l'ouvrage d'une extrême rareté Les écarts de la nature du couple Regnault, publié en livraisons à partir du début de l'année 1775 : chaque livraison trimestrielle comportait 10 planches ; les Écarts auraient dû compter des centaines de sujets de tératologie, mais il ne fut imprimé que quatre livraisons, soit quarante-deux planches en tout. L'ouvrage, devenu rare seulement quelques années après sa parution, fut réédité par Moreau de la Sarthe en 1808 (Description des principales monstruosités dans l'homme et dans les animaux. Paris, Fournier, 1808). Notre ensemble se constitue de 5 planches montrant des corps humains, intitulées: "Homme monstrueux - Enfant semy-acéphale ou sans cerveau - Double enfant à trois bras et quatre mains - Le petit pépin - Double enfant" et de 10 planches montrant des animaux: "Sanglier monstrueux - Chien monstrueux - Mouton à deux corps - Veau à deux croupes - Chat monstrueux - Mouton à quatre cornes - Porc double - Boeuf à cinq yeux et trois narines - Cochon cyclope de la Martinique - Poulet à quatre pates et quatre ailes." Chacune met en scène des monstres, non viables, arborant des attitudes précieuses et éloquentes, au milieu de décors champêtres et bucoliques. En pied de l'illustration, dans le travail de la gravure, des notices courtes apportent des informations sur la nature de la pathologie, l'histoire du spécimen et sa provenance. Il s'agit des seuls textes qui ont été rédigés pour accompagner les planches : les représentations des Écarts de la nature ont été conçues avec une visée artistique qui leur permet de valoir pour elles-mêmes. Les qualités du dessin et des rehauts de couleurs supplantent en effet tout discours étiologique, médical ou philosophique, ainsi que le remarquait, en 1775, le Mercure de France : "les vues de l'artiste ne tendent qu'à rendre les effets". Véritable tour de force éditorial, les Écarts de la nature se classent parmi les publications fastueuses produites au cours du XVIIIe siècle, mettant à profit les innovations de l'imprimerie et les nouvelles techniques de gravure : dans ce marché de luxe, qui répondait au goût du temps pour les riches publications de science illustrée, le couple Regnault était déjà connu pour son importante Botanique mise à la portée de tout le monde, parue en livraisons entre 1770 et 1774. Planches restaurées, quelques consolidations. Auréoles marginales sur plusieurs planches, feuilles uniformément jaunies.
