1775Best.-Nr. 36850London: Published by C. Shepherd 1775. Mezzotint. A fine impression of this early print of Charles Lee the famous General of the American Revolution. Public demand for portraits of Revolutionary heroes was not limited to America but spread to English and European print shops where an inquisitive audience clamored for a glimpse of the key figures of the war. Public interest reached such a frenzy that European printmakers published fictitious portraits before they had accurate likenesses of the sitters and thus many of the first English and European prints of Revolutionary colonials were completely invented. London publishers using the names C. Shepherd Thomas Hart and John Morris issued a series of mezzotints of the officers of the American Revolution none of which were taken from accurate portraits but rather were constructed on a visual formula and bore no resemblance to the individuals they claimed to be representing. Tomlinson's portrait of General Charles Lee is just such a portrait: the image bears little resemblance to contemporary accounts of his appearance and there is no record of him sitting for the artist. This portrait was executed and printed early in the war with the expectation that Lee would play a major role in the conflict an assumption based on his past military record in the French and Indian War. Although born in England Lee committed himself to the Patriot cause and soon became a leader in the Colonial army. He took part in the defense of Charleston and was a commander at the Battle of Monmouth. This is a fascinating early print of this Revolutionary general which not only records the practice of invented portraits but became a compositional model for other portraits of Revolutionary War heroes.

1910Best.-Nr. 0008097LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA. Fair. 1910. On offer is a pair of leather bound diaries written by Marian I Purcell. The diaries cover parts of 1910 1913 1914 and 1915. This first diary is a small leather-bound notebook measuring 6 inches by 3 1/2 inches. It is in fair condition. It covers the period Sept 16 1913 to Sept 14 1915. The bulk of the entries are in the last half of 1914. Marian Purcell was born Sept 16 1892 in Fort Wayne IN where she lived until she was 17. The first book covers the period July 19 1910 to Jan 6 1911 but there are many gaps in entries. They are typical of a teenage girl of the time. They note essentially social interactions with friends and family. "Slept till quite late . fooled around all day" July 19 1910. "Delight A and her mother were over in A.M. and P.M. just fooled around in eve went over to Tad Werner and Charlie called over We went to " July 28 1910. Just laid around all day in eve ma and pa and I all went walking in late" Aug 21 1910 She notes on Oct 1 1910 that her family is moving to Los Angeles CA. She makes it very clear that she does not want to move: "Left . for California hated to come" Oct 1. The second book is a 5-year diary. However the entries do not cover all of the time period. Entries begin in Sept 1913. In the Memoranda section she notes: "Went to Business College to learn shorthand from April-14-13 - June 14-1913". Although here are frequent gaps there is enough information to know when she was married her husband's name some addresses where they lived and what type of work she did. She married William L Harris June 18th 1914. They note that she worked in an office likely the Los Angeles Herald Examiner which was a major Los Angeles daily newspaper of the time. There are numerous references in 1913 about . at the office . On May 2nd 1914 she notes: "Quit work at Examiner to get ready to be married" May 2 1914. There are no further references to her working. Subsequent entries focus on interactions with friends and social events. It appears she never worked again outside of her home. There are no references to children or other family members although some of the named individuals may well be related There are no references to outside events and she seems very focused on her own life and experiences. "At office all day. In eve went to see "The Quaker Girl". It was fine". Sept 14 1913. "To the office. Did not come back for afternoon. In eve stayed home" Nov 18 1913 "Payday Gribbeu's were over Velma Billy and I went to picture show & Porters" Nov 26 1913. "My wedding day. The day of my life. Married at 8:00 in evening by Deacon Mac Cormack on roof gardens of the Pickwick Left that night stayed at the left the next A.M. for Catalina" June 18 1914. The last entry was made in August 1915: "Stayed home all day - in eve was home ." Aug 9 1915. Additionally there are newspaper clippings mostly referring to her wedding several photographs that appear to be of her and her new husband and several post cards. There is also a copy of her formal wedding invitation. These two diaries give a look into the life of a young woman in the early years of the 20th century. A historian especially on studying daily life in pre-WWI Los Angeles would find this to be an interesting description of social life at that time.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF MARIAN PURCELL WILLIAM L HARRIS LOS ANGELES HERALD EXAMINER SOCIAL HISTORY LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA FORT WAYNE INDIANA UNITED STATES EARLY 20TH CENTURY 1910s PROGRESSIVE ERA BUSINESS COLLEGE STUDENTS PRE-WW1 LOS ANGELES PROGRESSIVE ERA WOMEN IN 1910s AMERICA YOUTH LIFESTYLE IN THE EARLY 20th CENTURY ENTERTAINMENT THE EARLY 19th CENTURY WOMEN'S OCCUPATIONS IN 1910s WORKING WOMEN IN 1910s AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request – – IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED ; 1414 illustrations 136 in color. -- La Bijouterie Française au XIXe Siècle by Henri Vever is an indispensable survey of the jewelry produced in Paris from the Empire to the Art Nouveau period. Since it was first published in three volumes nearly one hundred years ago it has become the definitive source of information for the jewelry profession as well as for those who simply revel in the intricate beauty of fabulous jewels. Now for the first time the entire text is available in English in a single volume. Vever himself a highly accomplished jeweler compiled a study that charts the histories of both the humblest and the most famous of his colleagues including Bapst Boucheron Falize Fontenay Pouquet Froment-Meurice Gaillard Lalique Mellerio and Wièse. This vivid contemporary account is full of data gathered directly from the jewelers themselves or from their descendants. It contains fascinating anecdotes concerning Imperial and Royal commissions together with entertaining tales of workshop practices. In crediting the designers chasers engravers and enamelers who collaborated with the famous jewelry houses Vever acknowledged the talents of technicians who often worked anonymously. In identifying unrecorded craftsmen he made his book a unique document. Political economic and industrial developments are discussed as are their repercussions on society and fashion. With his intimate knowledge of techniques Vever was able to analyze changes that were continually taking place in manufacturing processes. He also recorded the changing styles in jewelry and their sources of inspiration ranging from the Antique to the Orient.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 292 pages. -- with a bonus offer--; The Most Comprehensive Monograph on the Pioneering Swiss Graphic Designer Ever Published "A visual poet a resourceful designer and a pioneer in education--across all forms his creations spoke with the same unified harmony of line color and image. He taught discipline clarity honesty and integrity through example. In a profession critically short on such values his life and work continue to personify the ideal of a committed humane and conscientious designer." Kerry William Purcell author Josef Müller-Brockmann 1914-96 was one of the most important and prolific voices of graphic design who created many of twentieth century's most significant and memorable posters. He was a leading practitioner and theorist of the Swiss Style which emphasized cleanliness readability and objectivity. Beginning with the opening of his own studio in Zurich in 1936 and working until his death in 1996 the mark he left behind is immeasurable. JOSEF MÜLLER-BROCKMANN by Kerry William Purcell is the most comprehensive monograph on the graphic designer ever published--including over four hundred images culled from the designer's personal archive. Presenting the entire range of Müller-Brockmann's career ranging from his most famous works to never before seen projects this volume is essential for design students professional designers or anyone interested in the history of graphic design. Müller-Brockmann's work ranged from social/civic projects such as posters for the Swiss Automobile Club and Zürich Police to commercial projects for IBM for whom he was the design advisor in western Europe Rosenthal and Hermes Typewriters. He was also an influential mentor to contemporary designers writing a number of books on graphic design and its history. His contributions to magazines such as "New Graphic Design" his design philosophies and his ability to create design systems secure his status as a key figure in spreading the Swiss design ethic internationally. Müller-Brockmann began his career as an illustrator where his keen awareness for the quality of forms first emerged. He is perhaps best-known as graphic design's foremost proponent of grid systems to assist in functional and objective design. The grid system allowed him to organize his subject matter to create the most effective design. Even his designs that appear free of structure were rigidly organized by Müller-Brockmann beneath the surface. Müller-Brockmann was also an accomplished photographer often integrating experimental photography photomontages and light paintings into his design work. The grid system industrial typefaces and the use of photographic images rather than illustrations were Müller-Brockmann's trademark and ultimately the classic emblems of Swiss graphic design. This new book offers readers the ability to approach Müller-Brockmann's work from several points of view resulting in an extension of his influence on graphic design beyond his familiar poster work. Illustrated by images of the final designs sketches and production drawings from his archive--and with long captions explaining in detail the design structure and the client's instructions--this extraordinary monograph traces Müller-Brockmann's life from his childhood through early training rarely seen designs for the theater famous posters for the Zurich art scene corporate design work for clients and finally his efforts to educate young designers. . 2006. 0714843490 .

A Map of the States of Virginia North Carolina South Carolina and Georgia Comprehending the Spanish Provinces of East and West Florida Exhibiting the Boundaries between the United States and Spanish Dominions as Fixed by the Treaty of Peace in 1783. New Haven: Amos Doolittle 1788. First state. Engraved map on laid paper 13x14-1/2 inches. Trimmed close costing part of the neat line on the side margins. Old folds toned repaired tear tissue backed. Wheat & Brun 491. Evans 21412. This is among the first American mappings of the southeast covering the area south from Baltimore to the Florida Keys and west from the Atlantic to just past the Mississippi River. It is one of few maps to reference the "new state of Franklin" on the North Carolina-Tennessee border which in 1788 was still maintaining a separate legislature despite Congress' refusal to admit the state. This is the only printed map to bear Purcell's 1750-1807 name despite his extensive activity as a surveyor throughout the southeast. Engraved by Doolittle 1754-1832 it appeared separately and within Jedidiah Morse's American Geography Elizabethtown NJ: Shepard Kollock 1789 and some copies of the American Magazine for August 1788. The western portion of the map includes references to various Native American tribes and the northwest portion shows interesting delineations of the claims of various land companies e.g. the Ohio Company and the Illinois Company. It was reissued with slight changes in 1793 and re-engraved in London but the first state is scarce. unknown

This we learn from one of Ricky Jay's fascinating essays in a delightful small volume that takes us from the earliest forms astragalithe heel bones of hoofed quadrupeds four of whose six sides were used for gaming to the myriad types of "loading" and other means of cheating with dice in the modern era. Along the way we discover that Augustus Caligula and Nero were all inveterate players that Queen Elizabeth issued a search and seizure order against the manufacture of false dice in 1598 and that dice made from celluloid invented in 1869 remained stable for decades and thenin a flashbegan to decompose. These are the dice of Rosamond Purcell's luminous and seductive photographs images which transform entropy to an art form. Jay and Purcell give us a dual meditation on dice that will educate us and amuse us at the same time. ; 8 X 0.5 X 8.25 inches; 64 pages . Quantuck Lane Pr & the Mill Rd hardcover

Drepperd. Purcell served as the drawing master at the Mechanic's School and in 1841 was awarded a prize for the best water color drawing at the the American Institutute Annual Fair. In all Purcell issued six parts in the series under the general title The Artist's Class Manual each offered for sale priced separately. An 1847 advertisement by the publisher John C.

No. 2 consists of thirty-six cards . subjects elements of landscape drawing exhibiting varieties of trees with their characteristic foliage . No. 3 consists of thirty-six cards . 12 elementary and 24 advanced landscapes . No. 4 contains twelve colored subjects with full instructions in the use and mixing of colors . No. 5 consists of twelve colored lessons more advanced than No. 4 . No. 6 consists of the same number of colored subjects being the finishing lessons in the art." The prices for each part ranged from .63 cents to $1.25 getting progressively more expensive for the later numbers and each was contained within a separate slipcase.
