First edition presentation set of this massive first installment in the Geological Survey of Southeast Asia begun in 1908 documenting the biostratigraphy of the Yunnan Region which was awarded the Tchihatchef Prize of the French Academy of Sciences. Much of this survey work was done during the building of the Hanoi to Yunnan-fou Kunming railroad which was built by the French to exploit the tremendous mineral wealth of Yunnan. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources for France in Vietnam was Honore Lantenois 1863-1940 who worked for years with Henri Mansuy 1857-1937 and sent him back to France several times to study palaeontology at the School of Natural Resources Ecole des Mines. Lantenois recruited Jacques Deprat 1880-1935 in 1908 -- at the time a brilliant palaeontologist -- to conduct an ambitious program mapping the geology of Indochina and neighboring areas. All three men became involved in the notorious Deprat Affair which resulted in Mansuy accusing Deprat to Lantenois in 1917 that Deprat had used a few European-sources trilobites among his fossil specimens from Indochina and Yunnan. This accusation rested on the distinction that the suspect trilobites were not just similar in nature to others found in Europe but the matrix they were embedded may have originated from Europe. Although nearly 90 years later it would be determined that the trilobite fauna discovered by Deprat indicated that the Yunnan had occupied a location adjacent to Bohemia originally in the early Palaeozoic period; the French scientific community condemned Deprat at the time stripped him of his degrees and posts and forced him to leave the field. A complete set including the Atlas is quite scarce.

réf. PE29Oblong Quarto album ca. 268x364 cm. 30 card stock leaves. With ca. 215 mounted original gelatin silver photographs from ca. 87x144 cm 3 ½ x 5 ¾ in to ca. 69x67 cm 2 ¾ x 2 ½ in five real photo postcards ca. 108x139 cm 4 ¼ x 5 ½ in and six printed postcards ca. 137x87 cm 5 ½ x 3 ½ in. Most photos with period white pencil captions in French on the mounts at least seven photos including one real photo postcard with captions in negatives. Full ornamented cloth album fastened with a string. Several photos with mild silvering but otherwise a very good album with strong interesting photographs. Historically interesting album of lively vernacular photographs apparently taken by a French resident of Canada during his trans-Pacific voyage from Vancouver to the Orient in the late 1934 and early 1935. The compiler and his travel companions left Vancouver aboard the “RMS Empress of Canada” and sailed to Hong Kong with a stopover in Saigon Vietnam. From there they traveled overland to Beijing and Seoul and then continued to Japan visiting Kyoto and Nikko. On the return journey they stopped in Honolulu and New York. The album contains 215 well executed photographs from the voyage and opens with over sixty images of Saigon showing rare views of the first tea factory in the East-South Asia the Bank of Vietnam and candid street scenes of native huts boutiques and restaurants. Especially interesting is a striking image of half-naked ethnic locals sitting on the ground beside a bicycle and posing for the camera. The other photos from the region capture topographical views riverside fishing gear on the Huong River and snapshots of the compiler and his companions throughout their journey by cars in canoes along the Mekong River etc. Among twenty-five photographs of Hong Kong a standout image illustrates a bustling street scene filled with residents in traditional attire shopfronts with Chinese signs and flags of the Wang Jingwei regime flying alongside the British Union Jack. The rest of the images show the city’s port waterfront glowing night views and moments of the travel group golfing. In Beijing the focus shifts to historical landmarks documenting the Summer Palace Nine Dragon Screen Ming Tombs Temple and Altar of Heaven and the iconic Chinese guardian lions. A dozen photographs of the Great Wall offer a rare glimpse of life along its slopes with locals carrying goods in baskets and leading donkeys through the rugged terrain. The Japanese portion of the journey includes evocative views of Kyoto’s Chion-in Temple the historic Yaami Hotel and a Buddhist temple with a monk standing solemnly at the gate. The group also visited Nikko capturing sites such as the Toshogu Shrine the ornate Yomeimon Gate a stone basin and tranquil views of Lake Chuzenji. The album closes with about forty photos of Seoul Temple of Heaven Honolulu views of the waterfront photos on deck and Arizona Grand Canyon. Overall historically interesting album of lively vernacular photographs apparently taken by a French resident of Canada during his trans-Pacific voyage from Vancouver to the Orient in the late 1934 and early 1935. hardcover

1970réf. 83515New York: Art Workers Coalition 1970. Offset lithograph in colors; 64cm x 97cm 25" x 38". Mild creasing to extremities else a fine clean copy; unbacked. This one of a presumably small number of copies bearing a rubber-stamped message which reads: "This poster was originally co-sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art. On Dec. 19 trustee William S. Paley forbid the Museum to associate its name with this poster. Do the Trustees approve of the massacre" stamped twice in the image lower right. One of the true icons of Twentieth Century American protest art this poster created by the Art Workers Coalition under the guidance of Fraze Dougherty Jon Hendricks and Irving Petlin was issued to bring attention to the horrendous My Lai massacre of March 1968. The photograph by Ron Haeberle originally appeared in Life Magazine. The Museum of Modern Art had originally promised to underwrite the poster's creation and to donate paper and printing costs - but later abandoned the project under the objections of board President William S. Paley. The AWC still managed to print fifty thousand copies which they distributed for free. As a response to MoMA's backing out of the project an unknown number of the posters were rubber-stamped with the message quoted above and a demonstration was held inside the museum in front of Picasso's Guernica where copies of the poster were unfurled and given away. These events are recorded in a 2015 interview with co-creator John Hendricks: ".We had a big meeting of Art Workers' Coalition about how we should address their MoMA's reneging of the agreement with us. It was decided to make a rubber stamp.saying "This is the poster that the Museum of Modern Art agreed to do jointly with Art Workers' Coalition and Bill Paley and Arthur Drexler refused to do" or something like that. So we stamped as many posters as we could with that stamp. Then we had a number of demonstrations in front of the museum and inside in front of Guernica." interview with William Twersky WT_History Blog April 2015. We have traced no copies in commerce or institutional collections that make note of the rubber-stamped notice. In 1972 the design was repurposed to protest President Richard Nixon's campaign for a second term; for that version the motto was changed to "Four More Years Four More Years" 83515.

1969réf. 55101Biên Hòa Nha Trang Long Binh and other locations in Vietnam plus Luzon Philippines and Osan South Korea. October 1969 to August 1970. A Soldier's Life in the Vietnam War An exceptional vernacular photograph album by a talented but unknown amateur photographer recording a wide variety of experiences on American Air Force bases in South Vietnam and Asia during peak years of the Vietnam War. The photographer was likely a member of the motor pool or a mechanic as the shots seem to center around truck airplane and helicopter maintenance. Most of the photographs capture scenes on or around the various bases with shots both inside and outside of barracks airplanes including several shots of a U2 spy plane bombed-out equipment and numerous photos of the people and structures in the "Vietnamese Area." A few images capture distant shots of the aftermath of a "rocket attack" on December 12 1969; shortly thereafter the photographer and his friends celebrate Christmas. Some of the more interesting photographs during the photographer's time in Vietnam include "VC Prisoners" "Group of Zips" "Papa-San Working His Rice Paddie" "Vietnamese Guard Tower" "Church on the West Side of Biên Hòa" "Refueling at Phan Rang Run" "Bring the Wounded Out" and several pictures labeled "Buddha Hill" likely the Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang. Notably and for no obvious reason in two separate images the photographer snaps a picture in a magazine of the famous photograph of Thích Quang Duc the monk who burned himself alive at a busy intersection in Saigon in 1963. Several times the photographer takes a picture of another picture an interesting practice in the context of so many original photographs. A handful of images of the photographer himself can be seen in the album. In a couple of shots he is posed with his pet lizard. Later he and his fellow soldiers adopt a pet monkey who features in several photographs. There are also a healthy amount of aerial images featuring the South Vietnamese landscape notably rice fields villages rivers "bomb craters" and cities among other locations. Also the photographer identifies dozens of fellow soldiers by name throughout the album in both single portraits and in group photos. The album contains numerous shots both black-and-white and in color taken from the crowd and later on the runway during a December 28 1969 U.S.O. show at Long Binh with several images each of Bob Hope Neil Armstrong Connie Stevens Suzanne Charny Teresa Graves Les Brown the Golddiggers and others. One photograph of Neil Armstrong is captioned "Biggest Hit of the Show." This is understandable given the fact that Armstrong landed on the moon just five months before this U.S.O. show. There is also an 8 x 10 photograph of Connie Stevens inscribed to "Ron" either the photographer's first name or an autographed picture he received from a friend. After the U.S.O. show the photographer snaps several closer shots of Bob Hope Connie Stevens and others climbing into cars to leave. In April or May 1970 the photographer was shipped out to Osan Air Base in South Korea. Along the way he spends a couple of days at Clark Air Base in Luzon in the Philippines where he snaps a few shots of the base. By early May he has arrived at the Osan Air Base near Songtan Station in the city of Pyeongtaek South Korea just south of Seoul. He seems to be happy with his appointment at Osan; he captions one photograph "Home Sweet Home" and a few shots of the countryside as "Paradise." Here he also photographs Korean farmers their families villages a marketplace a church a school and other landmarks. The final two images dated in August 1970 show the photographer on an airboat on an unidentified Korean river. Personal photographic records by soldiers in Vietnam are growing ever more scarce in the market. This collection is one of the best we've encountered and most certainly informs the overall record of the war during perhaps its lowest point of public support. 469 black-and-white or color photographs 3½ x 3½ inches to 8 x 10 inches either mounted or laid-in to acetate sleeves almost all annotated in ink on the bottom margin or on the verso. Contemporary three-ring thick quarto-size binder black cloth over boards. Joints partially split some abrading and dust-soiling to covers. Slight fading to some of the color photos. Overall very good. hardcover

1674réf. 2448 ff. 367 1 pp. Bound in contemporary calf gilt heraldic stamp on covers gilt spine with raised bands worn with joints cracked but sound head foot and corners bumped. Lacking endleaves; illegible ownership inscription on lightly soiled title; very good overall. Rare first edition of this account of the state of Christianity in Thailand Cambodia Vietnam by rivals of the Jesuits. The Société des Missions Etrangères a new apostolic missionary group established in Paris in 1660 was as a society of secular priests who devoted their lives to foreign missions but refrained from taking vows. Under the aegis of the Propaganda Fide the Société des Missions soon became embroiled in conflicts over territory with the Jesuits. As a result of the patriotism of its priests the organization's impact extended beyond evangelicalism into the political realm: in addition to facilitating a series of embassies and treaties it also successfully established a more active trade between Indo-China the Indies and France. This Relation brought fresh information about the condition of the mission in different parts of southeastern Asia between 1666 and 1671. It consists of four parts the first dealing with the mission in Siam and containing descriptions of amongst others Bourbon Island Madagascar and Mozambique the second treating the situation in Cochin-China the third the mission in Cambodia and the fourth being devoted to Tonkin including an account of the work of bishop Lambert de la Motte. Lambert was a member of the Society's first expedition to the Far East which had left Europe in 1660. Fermanel de Favery c. 1632-88 superior and director of the "S'naire pour les Missions Etrangères" signs the dedicatory epistle to Cardinal de Bo' and consequently Streit Lach and Van der Kley ascribe authorship to him. The work was reprinted in 1680 and 1684 and an Italian translation Relatione delle missioni de vescovi vicarii apostolici' alli regni di Siam Cocincina Camboia e Tunkino was published in Rome in 1677 and 1697.

1970réf. 81746Silver Spring MD: James B. Johnson 1970. Archive consisting of 70 original double-weight silver gelatin photographs. Forty-seven 47 measuring 8" x 10" and twenty-three 23 measuring 14" x 11". Many though not all bear the photographer's rubber-stamp on verso James B. Johnson 2200 Dennis Ave. Silver Spring MD. a few bearing brief holograph captions or codes in red and black ink. Light wear to extremities subtle curling to the edges and a few photos with tiny creases to the corners; overall Very Good. A substantial group of images documenting the April 4 1970 "March For Victory" in Washington DC. This march and the victory marches that followed were organized by the Rev. Carl McIntire 1906-2002 and his wife Fairy who were fundamentalist ministers radio evangelists and founders of the International Council of Christian Churches ICCC and American Council of Christian Churches ACCC. The April 4th march drew close to 50000 protestors - the era's largest pro-war demonstration - and was stridently against the "Vietnamization" of the war which McIntire viewed as a sign of retreat and running away from America's duty to fight communism. The march was to take place from Capitol Hill down Pennsylvania Avenue and conclude at the base of the Washington Monument. "Rather than the usual college-age protesters known for demonstrating against the war the Victory March's attendees were largely middle aged and elderly featuring contingents of World War I World War II and Korean War veterans as well as Cuban exiles and members of the National Socialist White People's Party.The demonstrators carried signs and banners saying "Nixon is a No-Win Swine" "In God We Trust" and "Marxism is Jewish" as well as Confederate and American flags and many wore "Wallace for President" hats.While the war was the main point of contention the masses demonstrated for and against a plethora of other issues including support for prayer in school to stop bussing programs designed to desegregate schools and just generally against "secular universities and hippies and yippies everywhere" Mednick Avi. Blog post: "The Silent Majority Storm The National Mall." Boundary Stones: WETA's Local History Website 03/02/2017. Georgia governor Lester Maddox was present and spoke at the rally at the Washington Monument; by the time he spoke the counter-protesters who had been showing up all day outnumbered the Victory Marchers. The images in this archive capture both sides of the march. Carl and Fairy McIntire appear holding a Bible and an American flag with their followers and their children shown marching carrying flags and signs seated on the Washington Mall and stomping on North Vietnamese flags. Numerous images of the counter-protesters are present carrying signs American and North Vietnamese flags passing out flowers dancing a few covered in decorative paint and seated with instruments with a number of photos showing hippies disrobing or fully naked bathing in the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. We have been able to ascertain little about the photographer aside from his name and that he was a member of the Silver Spring Camera Club. A striking group of images documenting the intersection of the "Silent Majority" and the anti-war movement. 81746. James B. Johnson unknown
