1963réf. 82862New York: Terry Dintenfass 1963. First Edition. Original lithographed poster with text and illustrations printed in dark red and black on thick cream laid paper measuring 48cm x 66.25cm 18 7/8" x 26 1/8". Mild handling a few faint creases from being rolled with a half-dozen foxed spots; unbacked; Near Fine. A striking poster by Lawrence designed to promote his first solo exhibition at Terry Dintenfass Inc. in New York. The illustration was derived from Lawrence's 1963 tempera painting "Two Rebels" "showing four white policemen carrying two black men. The heads of some fifteen witnesses crowd in. In the poster that number was reduced to ten heads that float like moons of light above a protester and his police handlers with their billy clubs dangling from their wrists" Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence pp.174-175. Paintings like "Two Rebels" "Soldiers and Students" and "Four Students" were almost certainly triggered by news photos and television images of the immediate events of 1960-62 in the South. The poster is not separately listed in OCLC though a signed and numbered lithograph of the image edition of 50 is held at the LC. 82862. Terry Dintenfass unknown books

The authors did however admit that some surgeons would restrict the use of these agents to severe operations after the introduction of ether anesthesia in Boston it was not until several months later that the method became generally popular in other communities in the United States.

"Dr. Bigelow was the unflinching advocate of sulphuric ether as the only safe anesthetic: and his unshaken opinion had a very wide and lasting influence. Bigelow instituted important and productive experiments in anesthesia. He inhaled new and untried anesthetic agents. He made practical and original studies of asphyxia and thoroughly established the fact that insensibility from the inhalation of nitrous oxide gas is largely due to asphyxia. He was also the first to show that anesthesia by nitrous oxide could be accomplished with certainty only by the use of a large volume of gas; and thus made the way plain to Colton and others for its successful adoption in tooth-pulling and in brief surgical operations" Mayo p. 603.

réf. 6306New York: The Limited Editions Club 1983. Limited Edition. A masterful production by The Limited Editions Club of Hersey's 1946 book chronicling the stories of six survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Hersey's work comprised the entirety of the August 31 1946 issue of The New Yorker and was subsequently published in book format a few months later by Alfred A. Knopf. In addition to a new afterword by the author and a poem by Robert Penn Warren "New Dawn: Hiroshima" this edition features eight full-page silkscreen prints by renown African American painter Jacob Lawrence. In his artist's note he mentioned going into mental retreat after reading the book. "Because this book is such a strong statement of man's inhumanity to man I found this work to be a most challenging book to illustrate. In my attempt to meet the challenge I read and reread Hiroshima several times and in doing so I began to see the great devastation in the twisted and mutilated bodies of humans birds fishes and all the other animals and living things that inherit our earth. The flora and the fauna and the land that were at one time alive were now seared mangled deformed and devoid of life. And I thought what have we accomplished over these many centuries We have produced great geniuses in music the sciences the arts dance literature architecture and oratory among many other disciplines. And we have in the meantime developed the means to destroy in a most horrible manner that life that is our God-given right." LEC Bibliography No.535.

Quarto 32.75cm; full black aniline leather with title embossed onto front cover; all edges stained black; publisher's original black cloth slipcase; unpaged; illustrated throughout with eight silkscreen prints by Jacob Lawrence printed in 11 colors each with an interleaved tissue guard.

réf. 3478Signed `J Van Huysum' lower right. Pencil and watercolour `IV' watermark. A fine image of a single stem of elder with two bunches of small green flower buds and five main leaves. Jacob van Huysum was born in Amsterdam in about 1687 a member of a renowned family of professional flower painters who enjoyed considerable success in Holland. His father was Justus van Huysum 1659-1716 and his brother Jan van Huysum 1682-1749. Jacob painted in much the same manner as his brother and as with his brother's work many of his drawings betray the temperament of an artist rather than that of a botanical illustrator. His 'work especially in England has often been mistaken for his brother's. Van Huysum came to England about 1721 in which year he was living in the house of a patron Mr. Lockyear of the South Sea House. Subsequently he was patronised by Sir Robert Walpole who received him as an intimate of his house at Chelsea and employed him to paint flowerpieces. for the decoration of the great house at Houghton in Norfolk' DNB . He also provided the majority of the drawings for the 50 illustrations to John Martyn's Historia Plantarum Rariorum London: 1728-38 as well all the drawings to another work Catalogus Plantarum. A catalogue of trees shrubs plants and flowers London: 1730. The present drawing shows the painterly approach where the artist whilst not sacrificing botanical accuracy tries to capture the essence of his subject. His work offers a contrast to the more strictly scientific approach of Georg Dionysius Ehret his younger contemporary and sometime colleague. Cf. Henrey II p.213. unknown
