Large 8vo 265 x 175 mm. bound in publisher's wrappers and photographic dust jacket in a new cloth box. Sicily Ministero dell'Agricoltura E delle Foreste 1940. A fine copy of this rare and important fascist photobook. Unlike most of the other photobooks produced as propaganda during Mussolini's rule this one is modest in size and is not just an homage to Mussolini. The book is a highly detailed documentation of life in rural Sicily and according to Parr could easily be compared to the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher and Ed Ruscha.

1885réf. 139671885. Taormina Greek Theater albumen photograph circa 1880s records the ancient theater and its prominent position above the Bay of Naxos and the town of Taormina Sicily. The elevated view preserves the monument within the coastal landscape encountered by nineteenth century visitors to Taormina showing the surviving ruins in relation to the bay hillside settlement and surrounding terrain. Albumen print approximately 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches mounted on a 9 1/4 x 12 inch card. The theater ruins dominate the foreground with the Bay of Naxos visible at left and the town of Taormina extending across the hillside at right. Originating in the Greek period and substantially rebuilt under Roman rule the theater remained one of Taormina's principal ancient monuments. The photograph records both its surviving architecture and the geographic setting that became a recurring subject of nineteenth century Sicilian travel photography. Very good condition. A late nineteenth century photographic record of the ancient theater at Taormina showing the monument town and Bay of Naxos within a single elevated view. unknown books

Contemporary red straight-grain morocco textured paper boards gilt titling on spine edges untrimmed. One map as called for though the Abbey copy has two and 92 ACCOMPLISHED AND BEAUTIFULLY HAND-COLORED AQUATINT PLATES OF SICILIAN VIEWS. Abbey "Travel" 262; Graesse VI 400; Brunet V 1379. ◆Moderate rubbing to joints and elsewhere covers with some scars other minor problems externally but the original bindings entirely solid--and surprisingly so for such an immense book with so many fabulous pictures to look at. Preliminary leaves and text lightly to substantially foxed a half dozen plates with faint overall browning one tissue guard missing the margins of perhaps half the engravings with foxing usually light though noticeable in three or four cases in the second volume but still a very pleasing copy of a beautifully illustrated book the marginal foxing seldom distracting and the engraved images themselves clear and clean afflicted by neither foxing nor the dreaded offsetting from the text. This is an extraordinarily rare copy of one of the most beautiful color plate travel books having to do with Italy. The large and luminous views of Sicily in our two volumes capture the magic of the island as experienced by the traveller of the early 19th century. Sicily's well-preserved Greek temples are of course featured but port scenes Medieval churches picturesque villages and the interior of Etna's crater are also depicted all in exquisite color. The engravings each accompanied by letter press explanations are of great interest and beauty and all but one of them are full-blooded tableaux rather than plans or assemblages of small images. The size of the engraved surface varies on the page as does the distance of the subject from the viewer: we are treated to everything from wide panoramic views to confining inner spaces. While the colors cannot be called pastel they are far from garish with lovely grays typically giving a softness to a scene that often employs subtle shades of yellow blue and green. The plates are memorable for their use of light and shadow to give a convincing feeling of three-dimensionality amidst luminous skies darkened interiors and a number of other variably lit settings. The book was originally published in 24 parts and includes an historical précis by Gigault de La Salle giving an overview of events from antiquity to his own time. Abbey calls the work "the most ambitious of the coloured aquatint books edited by J. F. d'Ostervald" who produced a number of works on the picturesque including two famous oversized editions focusing on regions in France. The book has always commanded a premium price: the unbound sheets were sold at the time of publication for the whopping sum of £34. In his note to the reader Ostervald tells of his search among the portfolios of the artists of Switzerland Germany and England for the perfect materials for this collection. The plates cite the names of the artist and engraver and Abbey notes that "English artists or engravers were responsible for nearly half" of the plates. Among these was Richard Parkes Bonington 1802-28 the tragically short-lived painter whose romantic works were greatly admired by Delacroix. Abbey estimates that about 500 copies of the book were produced and comments that the book is "certainly rare in this country at all events only three copies being reported at auction in the last fifty years." The rarity of the book has not surprisingly increased since Abbey's remark: complete copies with colored plates are still hard to find. P.
