1973réf. 141877Vienna: Lisa Film 1973. Draft script for the 1973 West German film. Text in German. Based on Arthur Schnitzler's controversial 1897 play "Reigen." A satire of the sexual and class mores of the late 1800s not produced on stage until 1920 although published versions in various languages were available as early as 1900. With its frank sexual content and depictions of relationships across class and cultural lines the play was immediately condemned as pornography and withdrawn from the German stage although it remained unsurprisingly popular. Schnitzler's play was adapted for film several times previously most notably by Max Ophuls in 1950 and Roger Vadim in 1964 both using the French title "La Ronde." Set in Vienna. Green untitled wrappers. Title page present with credits for playwright Arthur Schnitzler and director Otto Schenk. 142 leaves with last page of text numbered 138. Mechanical duplication.

The archive includes posters from 10 productions including "Fahrenheit 451" "The October Country" "Past Present & Future" "The Time of Going Away" and "Drunk and In Charge of a Bicycle." and his Irish play "Falling Upward!" "Falling Upward!" was one of Bradbury's favorite plays and especially as he advanced in age he was know to encourage its frequent production simply for the joy of being able to see it again. Bradbury was an avid playwright and a familiar and enthusiastic presence in the Southern California theatre circuit near his home.

1552réf. 4344Rome: Antonio Lafréry 1552. Hardcover. Fine. First state of three. A rich impression with wide margins light marginal foxing and a little light soiling extreme upper margin a little ragged. Inscribed on the pedestal: "LVPAE ROMVLVM ET REMVM VRBIS CONDITORES LACTANTIS ANTIQVVM AC AENEVM IN CAPITOLIO SIGNVM." Ancient bronze image of the she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus founders of the city on the Campidoglio. Signed "ANT. LAFRERII FORMIS ROMAE MDLII". An icon of central importance to the mythology and history of the city of Rome and an artwork that served as the nucleus of Europe's first public museum. This print attributed to the French emigree engraver Nicolas Béatrizet was issued by Lafréry in 1552 the year before he agreed to a partnership with his rival Antonio Salamanca. After Lafréry's death the plate passed to his nephew Claudio Duchet. It was reprinted by Giovanni Orlandi in 1602 and afterwards before 1622 by Hendrick van Schoel. The first definitive reference to this statue of the she-wolf the twins are Renaissance additions dates to the late 12th- or early 13th century. In his "Mirabilia Romae" the Oxford pilgrim Master Gregorius describes that statue in the portico of the Lateran Palace at which time it was in a damaged state broken off at the feet. According to Gregorius the wolf served as a pendentive to another now lost statue that of a ram which the wolf seemed to stalk. In 1471 Pope Sixtus IV reg. 1471-1484 bequeathed the statue and four other ancient bronzes -the spinario the Camillus and the bronze head and hand holding a globe of Constantine- to the people of Rome to serve as the core of the nascent Capitoline Museum the first public museum in Europe. A long inscription at the entrance of the Palazzo dei Conservatori documents this event and describes Sixtus' donation as an act of restitution of the city's ancient patrimony to its people: "Ob immensam benignitatem Aeneas insignes statuas priscae excellentiae virtutisque monumentum - Romano populo unde exorte fuere restituendas condonandasque censuit." The she-wolf was placed on a platform projecting from the façade of the Palazzo dei Conservatori Sixtus had given 100 gold florins to the Conservatori specifically for the relocation and installation of the statue. A drawing by Heemskerck from the mid-1530s shows the sculpture in that location. In the middle of the 16th century it was moved to a loggia where Aldrovandi saw it prior to 1556. The loggia was later walled in to create an enclosed chamber known as the sala della lupa in which the she-wolf still resides. Antonio Lafréry hardcover books
