Anatomie élémentaire en vingt planches representant chacune un sujet dans son entier à la proportion de demi-nature . . . Atlas only. Elephant folio. Title-leaf and 20 lithographed plates most hand-colored. Brussels: Meline Cans et Cie; Comptoir des Éditeurs 1854. 888 x 600 mm. 20th-century quarter morocco boards slight wear. A few marginal tears repaired minor dampstaining but very good. Later edition first published in both Paris and Brussels in 1836 of this set of very large anatomical plates that were intended to be mounted on the walls of dissection rooms. All editions are extremely rare-OCLC does not cite any copies of the 1854 edition. This is the only copy of any edition of this work that we have handled in over 50 years of trading. The work was originally accompanied by a small 20-page pamphlet of text that is not present here. The impressive plates in this atlas reproduce the illustrations in Bourgery and Jacob's Traité complet d'anatomie at a much larger scale than their counterparts in the Traité-roughly half life-size. Some plates were lithographed in Paris; others in Brussels. Plates I and II are devoted to osteology and syndesmology; plates III - VIII to myology and aponeurology; plates IX-XIV to angiology; plates XV-XVII to neurology; plates XVIII-XIX to the digestive system; and plate XX to the reproductive organs. The plates were originally sold separately; uncolored versions were priced at 6 francs and colored versions at 12 francs. Currently two uncolored plates from this series are on the market for about $1300. . Comptoir des éditeurs unknown books

Making of an American

1901réf. 1228141901. First Edition. Signed. RIIS Jacob. The Making of an American. New York: Macmillan 1901. Octavo modern full blue morocco gilt raised bands marbled endpapers top edge gilt with original gilt stamped cloth front cover bound in at rear. $4500.First edition of the pioneering photographer and reformer's autobiography published the decade after his influential work How the Other Half Lives with frontispiece portrait and 83 photographic illustrations many full-page in original bright gilt cloth inscribed to a prominent social reformer and close friend of Jane Addams mentioned in the text: ""Mrs Emmons Blaine with the admiration and respect of the author Jacob A. Riis. New York Dec 9 1901.""In this profusely illustrated autobiography Riis charts his life from his youth in Denmark to his immigration to America and his dedication to documenting the social injustice of New York's slums first as a police photographer and then as a newspaper photographerÑ""the first photographer to use the power of the image as a tool for reform"" McDarrah 381. His 1890 photobook How the Other Half Lives marks the landmark beginning of ""a photographic attitude an ethos-humanist documentary photographyÑin which the photographic social document is employed to bear critical witness to what is going on in the world"" Parr & Badger I:53. ""A pioneer in the development of the documentary"" to Theodore Roosevelt Jacob Riis was ""the staunchest most efficient friend the children of New York City have ever had"" and ""the ideal American citizen"" ANB. With rear leaf of publisher's advertisements. This copy is inscribed to Anita McCormick Blaine a famous Chicago philanthropist and the widow of Emmons Blaine. The son of a powerful political operative his father was a former Republican Secretary of State who lost the presidential race to Grover Cleveland Emmons Blaine was vice president of the B&O Railroad. However he died at just 33 years old leaving his 26-year-old wife a widow. Fortunately her family's intervention into the financial aspects of her marriage ensured that she was a wealthy widow while her late husband guaranteed that she was welcomed into the highest social and political circles. As a newly single mother Blaine became deeply interested in her son's education. She became acquainted with Col. Francis Parker and began to absorb and enact progressive ideas on education. She helped to found the Chicago Institute for teacher training. She also founded two additional schools including a free school for poor children. The success of Blaine's educational initiatives earned her a spot on the Chicago School Board. Blaine soon came to be recognized as a leading philanthropist and social reformer. Much of her work focused on Jane Addams' Hull-House and similar ventures aimed at improving the lives of the poor. Blaine's empirical mindset set her apart and the information and data she doggedly collected supported further social and legislative reform. As a result Blaine was welcome onto the Chicago Board of Charities and the United Charities. She also worked together with Jane Addams to create the City Homes Association dedicated to providing housing for the poor. Collaborating with Addams Blaine fought for labor reform particularly the eight-hour work day and peace. Peace soon became her primary interest after her son died from the 1918 flu spread by World War I. A supporter of the League of Nations and later the United Nations Blaine hoped that she could spare other mothers her fate. At her death Blaine was one of the greatest philanthropists of her time the acknowledged doyenne of the social reform world. She donated over 10 million dollars to social causes and left a huge fortune to the New World Financial Trust. Blaine is mentioned in the last chapter of The Making of an American which is essentially an acknowledgments chapter. Riis writes: ""Jane Addams and Mrs. Emmons Blaine leaven that shall yet leaven the whole unsightly lump out yonder by the western lake and let in the light"" page 436. Blaine's archived correspondence at the University of Wisconsin reveals a request from John Bogue to sell tickets for Riis' lecture ""How the other half lives"" and an invitation from Maud Warner McCormick to a lecture by Jacob Riis. Interestingly Warner McCormick was married to Alexander Agnew McCormick a Chicago alderman and Daily News editor who was a residential member of the University of Illinois' Chicago Literary Club and a member of Chicago Historical Society with possible relative Cyrus Hall McCormick Jr. Blaine's brother.Interior generally fine with a few leaves reinforced at gutter's edge.
