1775Best.-Nr. 17123London 1775. Engraving by Joshua Record. In excellent condition. An elegant engraving showing the two chimneys in Lord Derby's house in Grosvenor Square London. Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57 Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi which was inspirational for both men. Adam's first book on Diocletian's palace in Dalmatia is clearly very like the archaeological investigations Piranesi was making at the same time of similar ruins. Piranesi's friendship and passion for Roman Classicism were seminal influences on Adam and the greatest single factor other than his own talent in the work Adam produced on his return to England. Upon his return the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London which although not a commercial success at the time included one of London's most cherished buildings the Adlephi Theatre. Together the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House Keddlestone Manor and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches lunettes festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time beginning in 1773 with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822. Cf. Brunet I.47; cf. Lowndes I p.8;DNB; Wilton-Ely The Mind and Art of Giovanni Battista Piranesi. unknown

1887Best.-Nr. 379701887. Zweite gänzlich umgearbeitete Auflage. - Stuttgart Verlag von Ferdinand Enke 1887 8° X 570 pp. mit 265 in den Text gedruckten Abbildungen Halbledereinband der Zeit mit Rückenvergoldung; St.a.Tit. Adam Politzer was born in 1835 approximately 35 miles southeast of Budapest in Alberti Albertirsa. It has been reported that his father was a teacher and that one of his grandfathers was an eminent surgeon. He developed an affinity for Latin and Italian art and literature and also developed an interest in science at an early age. He had a knowledge of several languages that served him well in his interest for reading manuscripts and books in their original form. Also as a clinician he could converse in different languages with patients from various countries. Aware of the progressive developments in otology taking place in England the faculty of the University of Vienna realized that they needed someone with a primary interest in hearing and otology if the medical school was to be contemporary. Politzer had earned the admiration of his mentors and predecessors on the faculty and it was he who was advocated and enlisted to fill this position. Following his graduation from medical school in 1859 he spent one year in the laboratory of Carl Ludwig at Joseph's Academy in Vienna where he undertook experiments in the physical principles involved in the auditory system. It was in this laboratory that he developed the method to introduce air into the middle ear a technique subsequently designated as "politzerization." Politzer then spent time training with various individuals including Anton von Troltsch in Wurzburg Hermann Helmholtz in Heidelberg Claude Bernard in Paris and Joseph Toynbee in London. From these experts he was able to study under the most distinguished scientists involved in the physiology of hearing and pathological anatomy of otology. The first clinic in the world devoted to the treatment of ear diseases was established in 1863 by Politzer who was joined by Joseph Gruber with Politzer housing a ward with only female patients and Gruber only male patients. The department of otology at the University of Vienna was formed 12 years following Politzer's initial faculty appointment. His first teaching was a course on diseases of the ear before an audience of four students at the school of medicine in Vienna. However his passion for scrupulous study and research attracted much larger audiences as time went on. After his class Politzer attended his private clinic which quickly began to attract patients from all over the world. He would usually start the afternoon clinic at :30 and seldom was he as much as five minutes late. During the performance of a Wilde's incision mastoidectomy a rare opportunity presented itself in that Politzer inadvertently lacerated the postauricular artery which obviously caused a great deal of bleeding. Confronted with the consequence of this situation Politzer panicked and was unable to control the bleeding. He summoned Anton Wolfler from Theodore Billroth's surgical clinic for help. Wolfler's dissipation however was handicapped by Politzer's refusal to relinquish command of the surgery. Apparently Politzer's ego could not tolerate the potential threat of limitations of his surgical skills and his ability to control a situation. He persuaded the mayor of Vienna Dr. Seeler to allow him to treat indigent ear patients at the charity hospital along with the population of the local home for the elderly. His remuneration was an immediate supply of hearing loss patients and the prospects of temporal bone specimens from autopsies. It is from this collection of temporal bones that he developed the description of otosclerosis a pivotal point in the development of otopathology. A monograph of the membrana tympani in health and disease conveyed a new diagnostic concept endorsed by Politzer whose primary intent was that this book be used as a teaching tool for general practitioners and a reference source to be used in diagnosing ear disease. This monograph had much to do with the teaching of ear disease throughout the world. Contributions to the literature of ear diseases were exceptional. He published in excess of 100 works one of which was his Lehrbuch Geschichte der Ohrenheilkunde one of the mo st outstanding textbooks of the last half of the 19th century. It went through six editions and was translated into English French and Spanish. An interest in art as well as personal artistic talent led Politzer to fraternize with some of the great European masters of art of his day and to assemble an enviable art collection as well. The waiting room of his office formed a gallery of fine paintings. Adam Politzer died in 1920. His home in Alberti was designated as a shrine but was subsequently adapted for office space under the Communist regime. It was later transformed into a movie house before its reclamation during the 1970s as an historical site by the Otolaryngological Society of Hungary. - cf.

"Queste immagini enigmatiche si librano tra gli oggetti nello studio di Putnam la natura e la figura offrendo una visione ultraterrena incastonata nella quotidianità. Spesso questi momenti di quiete sembrano intromettersi in quella che a prima vista appare un'indagine profondamente misteriosa e interiore. Le opere possono essere percepite come singole immagini o come parte di un'opera più ampia in cui le immagini si frammentano e si ripetono riecheggiando temi che Putnam ha indagato in tutta la sua opera. Guardare e poi riguardare diventa obbligatorio poiché la memoria stessa viene messa in discussione." Adam Putnam è un artista interdisciplinare i cui lavori sono apparsi in varie mostre e istituzioni in tutto il mondo tra cui la Whitney Biennial del 2008 la seconda Biennale di Mosca la Biennale di Busan Corea del Sud il MoMA P.S.1 e l'Astrup Fearnley Museum Oslo.

1794Best.-Nr. 178101Edinburgh: From the transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 1794. A presentation copy from the elite social circles of Adam Smith's Edinburgh First separate edition presentation copy inscribed by the recipient "Alex. Fraser Tytler from the author" on the half-title. Tytler Stewart and Smith were all founder members of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1783. Stewart's account is the first biographical study of Smith the first work to shape the philosopher's popular image and a formative influence on the first generation of Smithian thinkers. Dugald Stewart 1753-1828 was an extremely early devotee of Smithian economics drawing on the Wealth of Nations in his Edinburgh lectures from 1778 onwards. His Account helped form the popular image of Smith as an ally of common-sense philosophy and an opponent of Hume. It is the first such work listed by Vanderblue who places the journal printing first and this offprint second. This offprint is part of a volume of works collected by Alexander Fraser Tytler Lord Woodhouselee 1747-1813 a Judge Advocate of Scotland at the turn of the 19th century. Tytler occupied many of the same elite Edinburgh circles as Stewart and Smith: in 1780 he joined Stewart on the faculty of Edinburgh University and the three men lived and worked alongside one another in the city until Smith's death in 1790. Tytler has provided a manuscript index at the beginning of the volume and his unobtrusive annotations occur throughout: on page 20 of the Account he takes issue with Stewart's depiction of Smith's analysis of human sympathy and provides his own interpretation. A full inventory of the other works is available on request. Quarto 252 x 192 mm pp. 85 1. Contemporary half calf rebacked with original spine laid down spine ruled in gilt lettered in blind and with red straight-grain morocco label joints reinforced marbled paper sides edges blue.
