2009réf. 79001Yale University Press Distribution . New. Paperback. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. 88 pp. With 47 ills. 37 col. . 24 x 20 cm. -- with a bonus offer--; Previously announced This original and eloquent study brings Frederic Leighton’s portrait of May Sartoris to life as an expression of the artist’s remarkable friendship with May’s mother celebrated opera singer Adelaide Sartoris. The young Leighton frequented Adelaide’s artistic and literary salon in Rome in the early 1850s and was on intimate terms with her by the time he painted her daughter’s likeness in England around 1860. Malcolm Warner places the work both within the tradition of British child portraiture since Joshua Reynolds and within its immediate biographical setting. Bringing together much new research into the circumstances of its creation he suggests that its wistful mood and intimations of mortality reflect Adelaide Sartoris’s melancholy temperament as well as Victorian views of childhood. . 2009. 0300121350 .

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

1935réf. 159381935. Film and Entertainment Traven B. "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre." New York. 1935. This is the copy used by Warner Brothers Story Department for making the 1948 film adaptation of the story about the corrupting influence of greed. with "WB 1122" Warner Bros written in white ink near the base of the spine. "IMPORTANT! RETURN Story Dept." stamped on the front free end page. Black boards and binding with book title engraved on cover and gilded stamp of title and author name on spine.

"WB 1122" Warner Bros written in white ink near the base of the spine. "IMPORTANT! RETURN Story Dept." stamped on the front free end page. This book was used for John Huston's 1948 film adaptation which became one of Warner Bros' most enduring classic films. Penciled in the upper left hand corner of the front free end page are the names of two Hollywood executives Henry Blanke who produced the film and Vincent Sherman who directed the film. The names were written when they checked out the book from the vault and upon return the name and date was crossed out. Henry Blanke was one of the film's producers and Vincent Sherman directed the film. Near fine condition. No dustjacket. This book represents the starting point in the chain of events that turned this outstanding novel into one of the most important movies of Hollywood's Golden Age. Director John Huston first read the novel by B. Traven in 1935 and had always thought the material would make a great movie with his father in the main role. Based on a 19th-century ballad by a German poet Traven's book reminded Huston of his own adventures in the Mexican cavalry. B. Traven was the pen name of a presumably novelist whose real name nationality date and place of birth and details of biography are all still subject to dispute. One of the few certainties about Traven's life is that he lived for years in Mexico where the majority of his fiction is also set including The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. unknown
