réf. 6004Paris: Xavier Moreau ca. 1975. 8vo 8” x 5” white paperboard box with slip-off lid. 20 color and black & white postcards 6” x 4.25” loosely inserted in an internal tray; titles in French printed on verso of postcards. Inscribed on front panel of lid in black ink: “For Polly and Henry with my love. Helmet New York. 14. 3. 1977. P. S. A set of real French postcards.”. A presentation copy of an early and exceedingly rare Newton publication comprising twenty erotic postcards reproducing his photographs inscribed to the noted fashion editor and stylist Polly Allen Mellen and her husband. First and only edition. This is one of only two examples that we have been able to trace. The other copy which appeared in the trade in 2014 was inscribed by Newton in 1976 to Rudi Gernreich 1922–1985—an innovator of twentieth century fashion best known for his scandalous “monokini” or topless female swimsuit. Although identified as “Series No. 1” on the lid no other series of Newton’s postcards is known. Born in Berlin Helmut Newton 1920–2004 was known for his radical edgy and provocative photography. As documented in these photos Newton preferred working outside the studio and often shot his models outdoors and in elegant mansions villas and hotels. Newton pushed the boundaries of the fashion industry of his day with his often-sinister erotically-charged imagery—leading some feminists to criticize his work. He began working for Vogue in the ‘50s and soon—like Richard Avedon and Norman Parkinson—became one of the magazine’s foremost photographers. While 1976 saw Newton’s first recorded publication White Women the present postcards are variously dated from 1971 to 1975 evidently indicating publication prior to White Women. Newton’s first group exhibition—at Emily Lowe Gallery New York City—and his first solo show at Galerie Nikon in Paris were both held in 1975. It is possible that White Box was published in connection with the latter. In any case it is not listed among the photographer’s known publications on the website of the Helmut Newton Foundation. Polly Allen Mellen 1924– is a fashion editor and stylist who worked for Harper's Bazaar under Diana Vreeland and later Vogue under Vreeland and Grace Mirabella—her career spanning over sixty years. She served as a nurse's aide during WWII and moved to New York in 1949. At Harper’s Bazaar she met her future longtime collaborator Richard Avedon who initially found Mellen “too noisy.” In time however Avedon would describe her as “the most creative sittings editor I ever worked with.” Nicolas Ghesquiere has suggested that Mellen’s work at Harper’s and later Vogue came to “define a new more modern ethos about clothes and how women wore them. With an almost playful daring the ethos brimmed with a kind of strong smart unabashedly celebratory feminine independence—as well as an artful element of provocation and extravagance—that Mellen herself embodied and drew upon in her collaborations” Ghesquiere Polly Mellen. Over the course of her career Mellen worked with such photographers as Newton Avedon Arthur Elgort Irving Penn Steven Meisel and Mario Testino. Polly and Henry Wigglesworth Mellen 1920–2014 married in 1965. No copies recorded in OCLC. Apart from the copy offered by Peter Harrington in 2014 we find no other copies recorded no sales records nor any other mention of White Box.

1765réf. 19374Cambridge: J. Bentham 1765. FIRST EDITION. The first ten pages contain a list of subscribers mainly from Oxford and Cambridge and a corrigenda. With12 folding plates. Bound in old boards rebacked a clean and crisp copy uncut. First edition of this rather rare series of excerpts from Newton’s Principia. “Although there is no mention of it in the book itself the annotators were John Jebb M.D. Rector of Ovington Robert Thorp Archdeacon of Northumberland and Francis Wollaston Rector of Chislehurt” Babson. In addition to the myriad of books explaining the mathematics of Newton’s masterpiece published in the hundred years following the first edition the public clamored for copies and excerpts from the book itself. Jebb 1736-1786 was a medical doctor and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Thorp 1783-1862 succeeded his father as rector of Chillingham and in 1792 was created archdeacon of Northumberland. In addition to this work he published a translation of the Principia in English Mathematical principles of natural philosophy London 1777. Wollaston 1738-1826 a mathematician and son of the astronomer Francis Wollaston was a Fellow of the Royal Society. Babson 15; Wallis 20. J. Bentham unknown books

The preface contains Pemberton’s recollections of Newton especially in his old age. However this work is most notable for its explanation of Newtonia philosophy. Pemberton 1694-1771 studied under Boerhaave at Leiden and was attached to St. Thomas’ Hospital in London. Babson 98; Gray 132. S. Palmer unknown books

First edition of Newton’s treatise on the calculus a work of great importance and rarity.

He steadfastly refused and prior to his death entrusted it to Henry Pemberton who never had it published. It was not until 1736 that Method of fluxions was finally published in the present English translation by John Colson who added a lengthy commentary. The original Latin edition did not appear until 1779 in the Opera omnia. Babson 171; Gray 232; Wallis 232; Smith History of Mathematics I p. 404. Henry Woodfall unknown books
