1971réf. 16792Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy -- an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown books

D'Ancona 672 First edition as a reissue of the edition "printed for S. Hooper; H. Webley; W. Nicol; and S. Bladon" 1766 with a cancel title page and an additional dedication to David Garrick. John Northall 1723-1759 army officer and travel writer "entered the service as a gentleman cadet in the Royal Regiment of Artillery on 1 July 1741 and was promoted to lieutenant fireworker on 1 April 1742. He served under Thomas Pattison with the Royal Artillery in Flanders in 1742 and was promoted second lieutenant on 1 April 1744. He was at the battle of Fontenoy on 11 May 1745 and became first lieutenant on 3 October 1745 captain-lieutenant on 24 March 1752 and captain on 1 October 1755. In February 1752 he went to Minorca and thence to Livorno. He was recorded in Capua on 1 April 1752. Instead of making the usual tour of Italy he visited the principal cities of Tuscany and after a cursory visit to Rome went to Naples. Then after a more lengthened stay in Rome he went to Loreto Bologna Venice Mantua Parma Modena and returned to Livorno whence he sailed for Genoa. From Genoa he went by sea to Villafranca and on by land to Marseilles. He died in 1759. An account of his Italian tour was published posthumously in July 1766 Travels through Italy; Containing New and Curious Observations on that Country but the work has been criticized as following closely J.
