1635réf. I44CZ6VY8TIKLeiden 1635. Folio. Abraham and Bonaventura Elzevier Mottled tanned sheepskin ca. 1730 straight-sewn on 6 cords gold-tooled spine with morocco label gold-tooled board edges curl-marbled endpapers red edges headbands in blue and white. With an integral engraved title page with 3 allegorical figures of Ares/Mars Labore and Industria military surveying and building attributes and a fortification plan divisional titles for the second and third livre 35 double-page engraved illustration plates lettered A-Mm containing 185 numbered figures 8 double-page letterpress tables labelled I-VII and Table du profil woodcut headpieces and decorated initials 1 series. Set in roman and italic types with incidental textura and fraktur. With 2 figures in the plates coloured by an early hand. 8 179 1 blank pp. First French edition of the best most detailed best illustrated and most influential handbook of fortification from the Dutch golden age and an ambitious piece of book production from the golden age of the Elzeviers' printing office. Besides numerous fortification plans and views the plates show for example bridges tools for digging construction and demolition and a horse-powered Archimedes's screw for pumping water while three plates show the arrangement of troops' quarters in camp. While some of the fortification plans are theoretical others show the fortifications of cities of the Low Countries and Rheinland during the Eighty Years' War. The text is divided into three "books" the first covering the origins development and most recent Dutch improvements in the art of fortification the second systematically presenting the various forms of fortification and the third on offensive and defensive tactics of siege warfare. Together with the excellent plates it gives remarkable insight into the working techniques and tools of fortification building ca. 1630. The lexicon gives terminology for fortification and related fields in French German Dutch and Latin and remains an essential source on the subject.With two small drawings an occasional manuscript note some underlining and a bookplate. With some foxing in the engraved title-page and a few other leaves occasional mostly marginal stains and minor browning but otherwise in good condition. With superficial damage to the boards and worming slightly affecting the boards and badly damaging the backstrip which has been restored at the head and foot. First French edition of the most influential fortification manual of its day probably more widely read than the German original.l Berghman Cat. rais. Elzeviriennes 651; Jähns II 117; Jordan Bibl.

réf. 54285Niedzica Castle 1978. Vintage gelatin silver print ca. 1983 12.5 × 17.8 cm. Inscription by the artist to the right side of the print in flack felt tip pen. Very good. A live restaging of the Pieta motif this work is part of the Living Images series created by Adam Rzepecki b.1950 in 1978. Working under the slogan "I pretend to be an artist" Adam Rzepecki b. 1950 studied Art History at the Jagellonian University in Krakow his later artistic work continually referring to the history of art re-working tweaking and thereby commenting on artistic practice. In his student days Rzepecki created a series of photographs "Living Images" re-staging famous paintings from the history of art a signature practice of Lódź Kaliska which he co-founded in 1979 after meeting Marek Janiak a year earlier at the Poznań art festival. Their banner "Temple of embarrassing art" stretched over the festival grounds at Osieki 81 would be the first direct attack on Polish neo-avant-garde and signal the arrival of neo-dada. Commenting on gender and gender bending was another important feature of Rzepecki's work. His 1981 "Statue of the Polish Father" depicting a Rzepecki breastfeeding an infant recalls the imagery of Madonna and Child. Similarly his 1983 cover of the first TANGO contains a postcard of Madonna and Child Our Lady of Częstochowa with the image "desecrated" by a drawn-on mustache in a manner similar to Ducham's treatment of the Mona Lisa. In the Polish context Rzepecki's act was art-historical as well as political - part of Kultura Zrzuty distancing itself from both the state-sanctioned art and the artistic and political dissidents supported by the Catholic Church. unknown
