2014New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. In English. 396 p. Anatolia in the Antique age was divided into many different regions such as Troas, Ionia, Aiolis, Mysia, Lydia, Phrygia, Caria, Lykia, Pamphylia, Pisidia, Cilicia, Commagene, Galatia, Bithynia and Pontus which had about a total of 1500 antique city settlements. Some of these city settlements were left under the soil as a result of the modern construction industry while many more still wait for being searched and excavated. Today, 133 of these cities were excavated and arranged. This work aims at introducing the relatively significant ones of the cities mentioned above that were excavated. We tried to use support the narrative with the city plans and up-to-date photographs. Although it was quite difficult to choose the photographs out of a rich collection of thousands of pictures that reflected the geographical riches of the land, we enjoyed the challenge and did our best in utmost meticulousness in picking the ones that we thought were fitting.

ref. P003765Prague: Alois Lapacek 1922. Large octavo 24.5 × 16.5. Original staple-stitched photographic wrappers; 1-22 1 pp. With nineteen black-and-white photographs in the text. Wrappers lightly soiled; still a very good copy. Rare publication by the émigré instantiation of Zemgor or United Committee of the Union of Zemstvos and the Union of Towns an organization founded in 1915 to assist the Russian efforts during WWI through private means. It is sometimes asserted that the primary goal of the Zemgor was to prepare the October Revolution and numerous of its functionaries served in the Provisional Government. After the Bolsheviks disbanded the organization in 1919 however many functionaries emigrated and reestablished the institution in Paris in 1920-21. Its primary aim was now to distribute aid to Russian refugees throughout Europe. Chapters were established both in Paris and Prague both funded by the respective local governments and during the years of the Civil War it succeeded in evacuating Russians from Constantinople to Yugoslavia and other European countries. The present report focuses on the Zemgor's special interest in the children of the Russian emigration and documents the various educational institutions created in Constantinople Bulgaria Serbia and Czechoslovakia through the joint efforts of the Zemgor and the governments in question. The photographs depict children and young adults of all ages engaged in various activities from a gymnastics lesson in Bulgaria to a lecture auditorium in Trebova. Also included is a list of all Russian schools and lyceums and the number of students enrolled.

1982Presents three simultaneous one-man exhibitions of Cuevas' works displayed at Schweyer-Galdo, Meeting Point and Tasende Galleries. These exhibitions were "conceived with the purpose of presenting as complete an image as possible of the artist's inquietude and of his iconography, in cities where he was not well known. The exhibition at Schweyer-Galdo Galleries in Birmingham, Michigan, shows Cuevas' oeuvre from 1965 to the present. It gives an idea of the artist's trajectory during fifteen years of fertile production, and summarizes, without simplifications, the images and human miseries which obsess Cuevas. Most of the works in this retrospective show are part of a collection selected by the artist and previously exhibitied in museums thoughout the United States, South America and Europe for the past four years. The exhibitions in Coral Gables and La Jolla comprise some of Cuevas' latest works, created during his many sojourns in Europe. Cuevas and I have selected these works together." - Jose M. Tasende.
