FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 194 pp. ; 41 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; American urban form--the spaces places and boundaries that define city life--has been evolving since the first settlements of colonial days. The changing patterns of houses buildings streets parks pipes and wires wharves railroads highways and airports reflect changing patterns of the social political and economic processes that shape the city. In this book Sam Bass Warner and Andrew Whittemore map more than three hundred years of the American city through the evolution of urban form. They do this by offering an illustrated history of "the City"--a hypothetical city that exemplifies the American city's transformation from village to merchant seaport industrial city multicentered metropolis and finally regional metropolis that participates in both the local and the global. The book thereby offers a yardstick against which readers can measure the history of their city. Warner and Whittemore have constructed their hypothetical City from the histories of Boston Philadelphia and New York focusing on commonalities that make up key patterns in American urban development. In an engaging text accompanied by Whittemore's detailed meticulous drawings they chart the City's changing boundaries densities building styles transportation infrastructures and population patterns. Planning for the future of cities they remind us requires an understanding of the forces that shaped the city's past; these are the tools of urban change. The city's protean ever-changing nature offers each generation a fresh chance to reform and re-form it. . 2012. 0262017210 . The MIT Press hardcover

1874réf. 33937Hartford: American Publishing Co. 1874. First edition mixed state as is the case with almost all copies this copy in the RARE PUBLISHER'S DELUXE BINDING. Fully Illustrated throughout with designs by various artists and with a long folding plate being the “map” of the “Salt Lick Branch of the Pacific Rail Road”. 8vo publisher's deluxe binding of three quarter morocco over cloth covered boards the joins ruled in gilt marbled end-leaves all edges marbled the spine with raised bands ruled in blind two compartments lettered in gilt. xvi 574 1 4 pp. ads. A very fine copy especially well preserved internally very fresh and clean the binding is in unusually fine and attractive condition near as pristine. Rarely seen in the deluxe binding in such pleasing condition. FIRST EDITION. The book that gave the era it’s name and Mark Twain’s first novel written in collaboration with Charles Dudley Warner. Twain and Warner started this book on a dare after being teased by their wives that Twain could not repeat the success of INNOCENTS ABROAD. Twain proposed that he and Warner write a book together and “we will so interweave our work that these wives of ours will not be able to say which part has been written by Mark Twain and which by Charles D. Warner.” Not only did they fool their wives but realized halfway through that they had something well worth publishing. THE GILDED AGE was born. The tale of Colonel Sellers and the Hawkins family and their determined pursuit of Wealth--a novel for which an entire era was named. American Publishing Co. hardcover
1930réf. 62548Hollywood CA & New York NY; Oshkosh WI & Parkersburg WV: The Strand Theatre Smoot Theatre Lincoln Theatre & Warner Bros. 1930-1934. Oblong folio. 14.5 x 11.5 in. 100 pp unpaginated. two different papers many preserved in archival mylar sleeves. With 90 original silver gelatin photographs either mounted or loose and inserted into sleeves sized from 2 x 2 in. up to 8 x 10 in. most sized approx. 5 x 7 in. many w/ photographer’s imprints 71 pieces of mounted ephemera including promotional cards souvenir promotional items such as napkins studio advertising mimeograph typescript marketing scripts lobby cards newspaper clippings and more. All leaves bound w/ brass screw posts at gutter margin many preserved in archival mylar sleeves some leaves w/ chipping & tears at fore=-edges offset tears and or reside on versos of a few photos some scuffing old glue markings cropping to some leaves still a VG artifact preserved as album. This exceptional original Warner Bros. Studio marketing photo album/scrapbook chronicles the movie industry’s system of engaging the movie-going public during the Great Depression in a form of interactive promotional live theatre to immerse them in the cinematic experience. Featuring physical props displays special lighting costumed extras studio scripts featuring a myriad of promotions the Warner Bros. Studios theatre group was able to enhance and pull in far more movie-goers and set the foundation for their marketing system in the coming decades. By using their opulent and fabulous 1920’s era created movie palaces these images capture the pre-Code sexualized Mae West in slinky costumes emblazoned on radio station cars physical stand-up showroom displays restaurant menus post-Prohibition tavern beer coasters and even pulled in local officials such as Mayor George Oaks of Oshkosh WI. Also featured here are photos and flyers for the giveaway cars tie-ins with the Oshkosh State Teachers College football team and nearby department store window displays which significantly expanded the visual and immersive experience.Of particular interest is the included and very detailed 117 step campaign script for Mae West’s iconic “I’m No Angel” featuring the titillating star as Tira the circus beauty who manages to always be mistress of the situation whether in the cage with wild beasts her boudoir filled with admirers to be bedded or even charming and seducing the judge at the end of the film with only a wiggle. The pre-Code campaign encourages the Warner Bros. Studio theatre’s to include a “Try your figure” display panel where young women would measure themselves against the busty silhouette and those that matched closest to the scantily gowned West would receive free tickets. Another stunt was setting up a “Mae West Voice Test” using a dictaphone in the lobby with a “pretty girl attendant” set up in charge to ask potential women movie-goer attendees to utter “Come up and see me sometime” and free tickets were awarded for the best Mae West imitations. Other movies featured at the Strand in Oshkosh or the Smoot & Lincoln Theatre’s in Parkersburg WV depicted here with promotions souvenirs and photographs include: “The Sea Wolf” based on Jack London’s book and which starred Milton Sills Jane Keithley and Raymond Hacket released just 1 week after Sills’ death and features stunts with potential young movie-goers to bring their Rin Tin Tin like dogs as well as airplane stunts and lobby card; or elaborate window displays and automobile floats mocked up as dirigibles and costumed extras for Frank Capra’s “Dirigible” released in 1931 and starred Fay Wray Jack Holt Ralph Graves and Hobart Bosworth set against the drama of a competition by fixed-wing aircraft and dirigible airships to reach the South Pole. Other movies briefly archived in the group here feature “When Ladies Meet” released in 1933 starring Ann Harding Myrna Loy and Robert Montgomery or a couple mentions of the 1931 Bela Lugosi Dracula. The 1933 Gold Diggers is featured in several photos which starred Joan Blondell Aline MacMahaon Monica Bannister Joan Barclay and Connie Blackwood as out-of-work Broadway chorus girls. Also appearing here in approximately one fourth of the photo album/scrapbook is a similar campaign as that for Mae West for the 1932 “Fireman Save my Child!” with the wildly popular comedian Joe E. Brown starring as Joe Grant inventor fireman and baseball player offered to play in the big leagues in the film but earning more money from his inventions Again the script advises engaging the local fire department to put on stunts include the supplied advertising on their fire engines and even encourages the use of a large animatronic mechanical head of Brown in a fireman’s hat in the lobby. The movie was actually a natural fit for Joe Brown who had launched his physical comedy during the 1893 Depression by making faces at the firemen on passing coal-burning trains so they would throw coal at him to collect and sell and later worked as circus acrobat and newsboy and was a lifelong baseball fan. From 1930-July 1934 the Hollywood studios were largely self-regulating their content with continued threats by outside groups to “clean” up their movies and somehow balance the puritanical group sensibilities against the ever growing demands by audiences for movies that were daring edgy naughty and even sexualized often depicting spousal abuse sexual bondage marital infidelity free love with stars such as Mae West Norma Shearer Kay Francis Dorothy Mackaill Nancy Carroll and Constance Bennett typically depicted half-clad or in bed. At the time the movie studios and theatre’s were attempting to recoup the massive investments in transitioning to sound films and market the new technology by cultivating a sophisticated campaign system often hiring Broadway writers directors and actors to travel around and oversee their promotions productions.

1801réf. 3865A scarce book of country excursions taking in some of the most striking landscapes and great houses within a day's journey of Bath. Three excursions are presented in the course of four letters with each excursion illustrated with a small part-page engraved map. The author describes in detail the landscapes cities and great houses along the way with plentiful information about the history of the towns gardens and architecture visited. Of particular note are Longleat Stourhead Fonthill and Wardour Castle. 'I am now to introduce you to one of the most splendid mansions in the kingdom Fonthill the seat of Mr. Beckford; where expence has reached its utmost limits in furniture and ornaments; where every room is a gold mine and every apartment a picture-gallery' p. 119. The description of Beckford's library is alas rather brief: 'The library is a large room filled with choice and expensive books; and decorated with appropriate paintings on the ceiling' p. 126. Warner also visits 'new' Wardour Castle - it was built in the 1770s - and gives a room by room commentary of the architecture furniture and paintings. Or particular interest is his description of the chapel: 'From this apartment we are carried into the western gallery of the chapel; a structure that displays superlative taste and magnificence. Crimson furniture and gilded ornaments produce an immediate striking coup d' œil; but when the decorations are examined individually the splendour and expence become more perceptible. Three immense pictures by Rubens cover the southern wall of the chapel; and one by this artist and another by Guido of the same majestic size are their opposite companions. The altar-piece is a Dead Christ by Cades. A large gallery is constructed at the western end superbly fitted up for Lord Arundel and his party; a second at the east end of the north side for the choir; and a third at the east end of the north side for the accommodation of visiters sic. Benches occupy the middle of the chapel for the reception of the domestics and such of the villagers as profess the Romish faith; for there is a Catholic seminary here the pupils of which punctually attend at morning and evening prayers. The eastern end of the chapel recedes into a semi-circular form through the windows of which light is admitted; but as these are placed high and consist of coloured glass the effect is extremely striking and solemn. The central window exhibits Angels and the awful Tetragrammaton from which is an emanation of glory. Brought forward from the eastern end sufficiently to allow the processions around it stands the Altar a most costly piece of workmanship fixed on a splendid sarcophagus of ebony; and constructed of porphyry agate and amber. A magnificent crucifix of silver surmounts the altar; and two censers of solid gold embossed with silver suspended over it pour through the chapel odiferous clouds of ever-burning frankincense. Every thing around indeed evinces that the Romish ritual is observed here with the utmost vigour and magnificence; and doubtless the celebration of its higher offices amid such seducing objects must act with infinite force upon the imagination. The effect produced by the externals of worship every man experiences who attends our Cathedral service which has not been stripped of so much of its lace as the common parochial ritual; how much then must this be increased when aided by exquisite examples of sculpture and painting; amid the strains of angelical music the glare of unnumbered lights and the Hallelujahs of numerous multitudes! The tamest fancy must be roused by such a scene and the coldest heart warmed into transport … It is but proper to add that the attendance of strangers at the service in Wardour chapel is considered as a compliment and every convenience provided for their accommodation' pp. 137-141. Richard Warner was an antiquary and an Anglican clergyman originally from the coastal town of Lymington in Hampshire. He became curate to Wililam Gilpin whose influence can be clearly seen in the present work dedicated to walking and the natural beauties of the west country. Warner obtained his first position in Bath in 1794 and remained there for some years writing a number of topographical works and a gothic novel Netley Abbey 1795 inspired by local ruins. He was a friend of Wordsworth who collected Warner's picturesque writings alongside those of Gilpin and who is known to have dined with him in Bath. In his lifetime Warner was mostly known for his controversial pacifist sermons and writings: it is thought that Blake was referring to Warner in the lines 'ask him if he is Bath or if he is Canterbury' in Jerusalem as claimed by David Erdman. Although this copy is in a later nineteenth century binding and was bound without the half-title a previous owner - possibly from the 1840s or 1850s perhaps contemporaneous with the binding and the newspaper cutting - has added an engraved portrait a Latin celebration of Bath an engraving of Farleigh Castle and a newspaper cutting referring to Paul Methuen of Corsham.
