réf. 5845Livingston Montana Yellowstone National Park and other locales 1916-1918. Oblong 4to 7.5" x 11.25" flexible brown leather with embossed landscape scene on front cover cord ties at spine. 167 photographs mostly silver prints approx. 2.5" x 2" to 6" x 8" 7 images hand-tinted 2 photos laid-in; 2 photos dated 1916 in pencil in image another photo inscribed in ink "Bayonet Practice Camp Lewis 1918." Front paste-down inscription in white ink reading: "Joseph F. Scherieble Livingston Mont." Scherieble's ownership label on front paste-down as well. Some images captioned in white ink on the mount; a few photos with white ink borders. An appealing album of 167 photos documenting the Livingston Montana scene and Yellowstone National Park as well as Wrangel Island Alaska; Petersburg Alaska; Seattle and Tacoma including photos taken at Camp Lewis a World War I training camp in Tacoma. Compiled by Joseph F. Scherieble 1895-1953 this album mainly consists of photos he apparently took himself on various outings and occasions. Included here are many lovely shots of wildlife in the region including white tailed deer antelope elk buffalo big horn sheep and bear. Also featured are fine images of landmarks in Yellowstone and the surrounding area including Tower Falls Grasshopper Glacier in Park County Montana "Lava Arch" Roosevelt Arch in Gardiner Hymen Terrace "Scenes on Emigrant Gulch" Yellowstone Falls Tower Falls Corwin Hot Springs Mt. Baldy Old Faithful and Old Faithful Camp moody views of the Yellowstone River at night and so forth. The subjects of the photos taken in Livingston include a train station a steam shovel the bridge across the Yellowstone River local characters friends and family. A few images show Scherieble and a group of men hunting. Several photos included here were taken by commercial photographers whose names and inventory numbers in the negative have been obliterated-apparently an attempt by Schereible to 'integrate' them. In one instance the name of Yellowstone photographer W. S. Berry can still be made out and a few other images included here were likely taken by him as well. Concluding the album are a number of images of west coast subjects all evidently taken when Schereible traveled that way to train at Camp Lewis. These include photos of Ballard Bridge in Seattle; Point Defiance Park Tacoma etc. as well as views taken at Wrangel Island and Petersburg Alaska. These shots are followed by forty-six images documenting Scherieble's time at Camp Lewis. Scherieble was evidently a graduate of Gonzaga University and had family in the Pacific Northwest. CONDITION: Very good minor wear to covers color-tinted photos faded occasional minor wear to photos discoloration to a few images.

2005réf. 22557USA: 20th Century Fox 2005. An original movie poster for 'Robots' from 2005. Measuring 100cm x 68cm. SIGNED by Robin Williams Halle Berry Ewan McGregor Greg Kinnear Drew Carey Amanda Bynes and the director Chris Wedge. In very good condition indeed 'Robots' 2005 is an animated science-fiction comedy set in a world populated entirely by mechanical beings. Robin Williams voices 'Fender' a fast-talking scrap-collecting robot whose manic humour and improvisational energy dominate the film. The story follows idealistic inventor Rodney Copperbottom as he challenges corporate greed and planned obsolescence. Williams's performance provides anarchic comic relief while reinforcing the film's themes of creativity individuality and social responsibility beneath its colourful family-friendly surface. 20th Century Fox unknown

A remarkable alignment of the planets is occurring in 2003: the 50th anniversary of the double helix and the completion of the sequence of the human genome. As a defining figure in both landmark events no other human being on the planet is positioned to write as authoritatively about all this as Jim Watson. In DNA: The Secret of Life he does so with characteristic clarity style and wit. If you really want to know what happened in the most important half-century of biology since the world began read this" Francis Collins. Alfred A. Knopf unknown
1936réf. 84921s. l. 1936. Fine. s. l. 1936 24 x 30 cm 38 photographies Set of 38 original photographs silver gelatin prints of the period in 24x30cm format depicting scenes from the filming of the movie. Le mort en fuite is a film by André Berthomieu assisted by André Zwobada with Carlo Rim as dialogue writer and adapter; the main roles were played by Michel Simon Jules Berry and Marie Glory. Here is the synopsis: Two mediocre actors from the ""Folies printanières"" Hector Trignol Jules Berry and Achille Baluchet Michel Simon invent an imaginary crime to gain publicity: Achille will pretend that he murdered Hector out of romantic rivalry and when the press seizes upon this news item the ""victim"" will reappear to exonerate Achille and make him a hero. For authenticity the two friends threaten each other in public and make noise in their room before Hector secretly leaves the building without being seen by the concierge. But contrary to what the two accomplices had imagined no one pays attention to Hector's disappearance and he grows impatient in his hideout in Brussels. He finally sends an anonymous letter to the Public Prosecutor to report the ""crime"" but despite Baluchet's efforts to make himself appear suspicious the investigators only believe in Trignol's ""disappearance"". It is then that the revue leader Myra supposedly the cause of the romantic rivalry between Baluchet and Trignol decides to profit from the latter's disappearance for her own publicity. Achille is finally arrested and in vain he proclaims his innocence first before the examining magistrate then before the criminal court. The verdict falls: he will be sentenced to capital punishment and his request for presidential pardon will be rejected. Meanwhile feeling watched Trignol has taken refuge in Berlin then in Warsaw where he was kidnapped because he is the double of Russian General Mikhaïl Popov. He will appear before a court martial and be sentenced to be shot. The set is presented in a cardboard box whose lid is missing. unknown

1983réf. 2203San Francisco: North Point Press 1983. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. A nice association copy: his mother's copy Signed by Berry and numbered 2/100 of a limited signed edition opposite the title page presumably he kept the first copy or gave it to his wife. Uncommon or scarce signed the only copy available as of this writing. As an accompanying letter of provenance explains after the book came back to Berry following his mother's death he donated it to the Pendleton County Public Library in Kentucky to help it rebuild after its collections were lost to a devastating flood. As Berry's preface explains this book is a revision of an out-of-print novel first published in 1967 substantially revised and cut by about a third. He concludes the preface: "This then is not a new book but a renewed one." Set in his fictional town of Port William Kentucky the land itself and its rhythms are the essential character. Handsome auburn paper boards with a blue cloth spine. Very good with very mild rubbing to corners and spine ends and faint foxing to text block faces. In a very good or better jacket with just a hint of toning to the pale rear panel's edges but the jacket is slightly misaligned on the book possibly a printer's error as it seems a little small. A sweet copy. More about the book: "Part ribald farce part lyrical contemplation Wendell Berry's novel is the story of a place-Port William Kentucky-the farm lands and forests that surround it and the river that runs nearby The rhythms of this novel are the rhythms of the land. A Place on Earth resonates with variations played on themes of change; looping transitions from war into peace winter into spring browning flood destruction into greening fields absence into presence lost into found." .
