1824réf. 164820Bombay: Printed at the Courier Press by Shreecrustna Jagonathjee Prabhoo for the Honourable East India Company 1824. Regulating the "Bombay Buccaneers" the gendarmerie of the Gulf First and sole edition of the earliest maritime regulations printed in India detailing the day-to-day governance of the Bombay Marine the East India Company's navy. Rare with only two institutional locations recorded. Founded in 1612 and based successively at Surat and Bombay the Marine became a principal instrument of British expansion from the Red Sea to Southeast Asia supporting major campaigns against the Marathas the Mysore and Burmese states and - most prominently - the Wahabi Qasimi confederation in the Gulf. Its squadron played a decisive role in the 1809 and 1819 operations culminating in the General Treaty of Peace earning high praise from naval commanders and Governor Mountstuart Elphinstone. The Marine was equally important as a surveying body. These regulations illuminate the rigorous expectations placed on officers such as Blair McCluer Ross and Brucks whose coastal surveys from the Gulf to the China Seas underpinned British navigation for decades. The text formalizes command responsibilities shipboard discipline victualling and punishments and mandates systematic hydrographic surveying accompanied by 17 templates for logs and accounts. Issued under Henry Meriton superintendent and commander of the Gulf Squadron they reflect the Marine's transition into a permanently deployed regional force at a pivotal moment in Company rule. Quarto 269 x 210 mm. pp. iv 130. With 17 tables 5 of them folding. Neat 20th-century dark blue half calf spine gilt lettered longitudinally single blind rule to the spine and corners marbled boards.

2022réf. 228585Gottingen: Steidl 2022. Brossura custodia wrappers slip-case. Ottimo Fine. A cura dell'Anish Kapoor Studio. Con testi di Richard Deacon Donna De Salvo Marina Warner Jean de Loisy Jonathan Jones Hans-Ulrich Obrist e Anish Kapoor. 2106 immagini a colori progetti disegni opere che raccontano il lavoro degli ultimi 40 anni di Anish Kappor. 2 volumi. Cm 24x175. pp. 1188. Ottimo Fine. Prima edizione First Edition. Questa pubblicazione riunisce per la prima volta i progetti e le idee architettoniche di Anish Kapoor degli ultimi 40 anni. Sono concetti che continuano a informare tutte le aree della produzione artistica di Kapoor molti dei quali sono stati realizzati in opere che confondono le distinzioni tra arte e architettura spingendo l'architettura in un territorio radicalmente nuovo. I progetti di Kapoor rinegoziano il rapporto non solo tra arte e architettura ma anche tra il senso stesso dello spazio dentro di noi e quello del mondo esterno. Le forme che ci presenta creano spazi che confondono la dualità di soggetto e oggetto di interno ed esterno. Campi di colore monocromatici superfici specchiate e vuoti senza fondo destabilizzano il nostro posto nel mondo. Gli oltre 2.000 schizzi modelli rendering e progetti in questo libro mostrano il viaggio di queste forme verso come potrebbero esistere nella realtà così come gli spazi che abitano o creano sia fuori che dentro di noi.
