rif. PJH32371Scheidegger & Spiess 2010. Mint set in publishers boards in plain slipcase still shrink wrapped. Textiles are one of Switzerland's oldest industries. Cotton and silk has been spun and woven in homework in the rural parts of the country for decades before the textile sector was one of the first to become quickly and fully industrialised. One of the major players in Switzerland's silk trade has been Abraham AG Abraham Ltd. The company's history dates back to 1878 when Jakob Abraham became a partner in a Zurich-based business. Under the direction of Gustav Zumsteg who had joined as a partner in 1943 the business became a firm part of post-war Paris Haute Couture as supplier of silk fabrics to the leading fashion houses. The 1960s-80s were the heyday of Abraham AG with the close and personal collaboration between Zumsteg and Yves Saint Laurent from 1961 onwards. This equally successful and glamorous period was followed by a slow but steady decline eventually leading to the company's bankruptcy and liquidation in 2002. 'Soie Pirate: The History and Fabric Designs of Abraham Ltd.'. is a comprehensive history of this fascinating enterprise. Volume one tells the company's story and investigates its importance in the international business of high fashion and in the context of time. Volume two presents a wealth of designs patterns and samples of the beautiful fabrics designed by Abraham AG but also of the elegant dresses and spectacular gowns the great couturiers like Cristobal Balenciaga Coco Chanel Christian Dior Hubert de Givenchy Yves Saint Laurent or Emanuel Ungaro have created using Abraham's products. Together both volumes bring to life a chapter in the history of high fashion worldwide. ISBN 9783858817259 Scheidegger & Spiess 2010 hardcover

rif. 54109Kharkiv: Mystetstvo 1933. Large octavo 25.7 × 18.8 cm. Original pictorial wrappers by Vasily Sedliar decorative dust jacket; 20 1 pp. of text 41 leaves of plates to rectos 2 pp. of text including list of reproductions. Small loss to corner of first leaf; pre-war stamps to title verso and p. 21 of the Ukrainian Public Library without inventory numbers marking the book part of the later dispersed duplicate exchange fund. Else about very good. A striking important Ukrainian avant-garde book designed by Vasily Sedliar 1899-1937 a leading Ukrainian painter illustrator and art pedagogue of the interwar period who was killed during the Stalin Terror of 1937. The book is likely the first monograph on Béla Uitz 1887-1972 a Hungarian-Soviet avant-garde artist who later turned to monumental painting creating large-scale murals for the Kharkiv Krasnovodsk Theatre a project he worked on with Sedliar. Uitz was initially influenced by Cubism Expressionism and later Constructivism with the 42 reproductions of his work in this volume tracing his artistic trajectory. Active in Comintern in Hungary France Austria and Germany in 1926 Uitz moved to the Soviet Union joining the October group and teaching at VKhUTEMAS in 1927-1930. In 1931 Uitz was elected secretary of the International Union of Revolutionary Artists at a conference held in Kharkiv and commissioned to decorate the Kharkiv theatre with this volume likely published for the occasion. The Ukrainian art critic and monumental painter Ievhen Kholostenko 1904-1945 wrote the introductory text to the volume. Both Sedliar and Kholostenko were students of Mykhailo Boichuk 1882-1937 at the Kyiv Academy of Art. A celebrated modernist painter Boichuk came into disfavor in the 1930s. His arrest and execution he was accused of being "an agent of the Vatican" affected an entire generation of students known as the "Boichukists" who practiced the innovative kind of monumental painting Boichuk taught. One of the closest associates of Boichuk Sedliar was part of the so-called "executed renaissance" rozstriliane vidrodzhennia a generation of innovative artists and writers who perished during the Great Purge. Any printed matter bearing their names was systematically removed from libraries and bookstores in the late 1930s. As of June 2024 KVK OCLC show a sole copy worldwide at Staats- & Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg. unknown
rif. 187861970. Watercolor and pastel on illustration board. Signed "William A. Moore" Intriguing concpetual drawing for an unusual pickup truck Three views of a rather dazzling vision of a pickup truck and though the "Dodge Sportflite" was never produced the idea of making more luxurious and innovative pickup trucks has definitely caught fire since the time of this handsome drawing. This design brings the driver over the engine as in many heavier trucks giving the driver greater command of the road especially for town and city driving. The styling of the cab and cargo bed is anything but mundane with lines vents a black ribbon around the cab and two large additional brake lights that add a notes of elegance and creativity to the overall effect. "In 1956 William Moore won the General Motors Fisher Body Craftsmen' Guild National Exhibition for his car design. In 1968 he accepted a position as Head of Design for Lear in Reno Nevada. William Moore's art has been placed in.the Smithsonian and the Favell Museum of Art and Artifacts." The Museum of Automotive Art and Design website.

All of our present information about this drawing comes from a label on the back of the piece which indicates that it comes from the archives of the A.J. White Motor Vehicle Research Company - designers of exotic cars in the Boston MA area. We have not discovered any further information about the A. J. White Research Company thus far nor about the artist R.S.W. of this particular drawing. There does not appear to be any connection to the great White truck manufacturer. The drawing itself is especially nice its cool red sportscar positioned diagonally between two details in blue in a way that makes it appear anxious to move. unknown

rif. 7643Boston: J. H. Bufford’s Lith. ca. 1870. Lithograph 20.25” x 30.25” plus margins. CONDITION: Very good old folds and a .5” chip to upper-right edge recently backed with Japanese tissue. A scarce and elaborate plat map for a seaside resort development at Pigeon Cove in Rockport Mass. Located on the eastern extremity of Cape Ann Pigeon Cove began attracting vacationers from the Boston area during the 1840s. Once the train reached the area in 1862 summer boarding homes soon gave way to seasonal hotels. Spearheading the development of Ocean View were the two men listed at the center-left of this map—George Babson of Pigeon Cove 1835–1895 and Eben Phillips of Boston 1808–1875 the latter owning much property there. The map shows the various subdivisions of Ocean View including occupied lots and those set aside for various purposes as well as numbered lots for sale. Among the lots occupied or in use are those of Pigeon Cove House Mrs. M. D. Babson Summer Boarding House Rev. E. H. Chapin of New York two observatories and the town school. Also identified on the plan are commercial entities surrounding Pigeon Cove Harbor such as E. Eames & Co. and Marchent & Co. A vignette entitled “View from Phillips Avenue near Dick’s Dream” shows a couple riding horseback against a sunset backdrop of vessels plying the waters. Text in the upper-left corner extolls Ocean View’s various beauties its mineral springs—“differing entirely from others and pronounced by leading physicians to contain great medicinal properties”—and the “laying out of the lots which are very large” and “beautifully shaded with a native growth of Walnut Oak and Pine trees…” In the lower-left corner are fifteen glowing testimonials from summer residents visitors from Boston and New York the editor of the New Orleans Picayune and publications such as Springfield Republican Boston Transcript etc. Commended here are Ocean View’s “wild and romantic” scenery; the “grateful odor of the forest mingled with the briny exhalations from the ocean”; “rocks in magnific multitudes” and so on. Poet William Cullen Bryant observes: “Full of pleasant paths running in every direction the woods here look like a beautiful rural temple.” One rapturous visitor cites a few lines of poetry: “Blended there / In wild reality when life is old / And many a scene forgot the heart will hold / Its memory of this.” Ocean View is here advertised as accessible from Boston by little over an hour’s rail ride via the Eastern Railroad; at the time of this map’s production four trains traveled from Boston to Ocean View each way daily. OCLC records just two holdings of what appears to be the same edition of this map at the Peabody Essex Museum and the Leventhal Center at the Boston Public Library. We locate a third example held by the town of Rockport. Another edition with tinting and more vignettes was published as well. A rare and quite handsome promotional map for this North Shore resort development.

Searching for a concise introduction to this set I found a wonderful little essay written by the owner of the UMINEKO book shop in Japan.

This is a rather poor translation more a paraphrase really from his original Japanese. Just a nice introduction to the set and the era. ”When I went to the recent exhibition I was quite taken with a variety of book named "Yenbon" It is a general term for the collection of literary works published by many publishers in the late 1920s early Showa era. They were called 'yen book' at that time because they were priced cheaply at 1 yen per volume.
