Through almost 800 images Cityscapes tells the story of the city from its origins in the early seventeenth century through the end of the twentieth century. In lithographs paintings drawings and broadsides New York is portrayed as rising from a small Dutch outpost to a republican seaport whose life was framed by the American Revolution. The visual evidence changes to etchings photographs and lithographs as Cityscapes depicts a mid-nineteenth-century city torn by dislocations caused by a multiethnic society amid the turmoil of the industrial revolution. Documenting the turn of the last century a wealth of photographs shows the new five-borough metropolis taking in waves of immigrants and portrays the evolution of the immigrant metropolis into the cosmopolitan city of mid-century. In its final chapter Cityscapes looks at the global village and takes stock of New York´s role as the world economic and artistic capital of the late twentieth century. This lavish volume shows how New York produced contemporary understandings of what makes a city from a distinctive skyline to a democratic street grid to diverse ethnic neighborhoods. From the depths of poverty to the heights of conspicuous consumption images of New York illustrate how we comprehend the urban past and imagine its future. . 2001. 0231106246 .

1969réf. 55917New York: Vantage Press 1969. First edition. Very good plus in a very good jacket. Garrulously inscribed first edition of this scarce self-published first-person account of life on the road with the Chicago Outlaws. Unassuming factory worker George "Rock Conte" Mitchell falls in with the notorious Chicago Outlaws seemingly out of nothing but curiosity: "I had never met or encountered anything which split my imagination as this group did." He published this account with Vantage Press at his own expense reporting credulously and forgivingly on the gang "many of the stunts they pulled off just didn't seem to make any sense . I had seen only one member smoke marijuana" some of whom were also seen and heard from in Danny Lyon's THE BIKERIDERS. Inscribing the book six years after publication Conte echoes the also presumably self-penned jacket copy in comparing his mission to that of John Howard Griffin in BLACK LIKE ME but OUTLAWS FOREVER brought no publicity to the divide between the straight world and that of the riders. Perhaps because HELL'S ANGELS had already claimed it all for Hunter S. Thompson several years before. OCLC locates just six scattered holdings. 8'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth boards silver stamped spine. In original unclipped $4.50 pictorial jacket. 8 pages of black-and-white photographs. 216 pages. Inscribed to front free endpaper: "To / Rob & Sue: / I feel like 'John / Howard Griffin' author of / 'Black Like Me'. There is / always another side to a story. / Sometimes one may pay a / dear price & suffer but one / should never give up. / I wish the two of you the best of everything and hope / your dearest dreams come true. / Sincerely Your friend / Always / Rock Conte / 5-24th-75." Jacket lightly toned with minor soil and few small chips. Faint toning to text block. Bit of pushing to spine tail. Overall sound and clean. Vantage Press unknown

1914réf. 548772New York: The Knickerbocker Press 1914. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Octavo. 148pp. Frontispiece and 10 plates. Blue cloth binding titled in gilt. Partially unopened with just a hint of foxing and a few small nicks at the bottom edge of the front board and the foot of the spine very good. Inscribed by the author: "To Mrs. Emerson Compliments of Emma Langdon Roche." Roche born into a prominent Mobile Alabama family wrote this book the first to be based on interviews with Cudjoe Lewis also known as Kazoola a survivor of the Middle Passage as a captive on the last known slave ship Clotilda which a group of Americans used to illegally import slaves into Alabama in 1860 from present day Benin more than a half century after the suspension of the Atlantic slave trade. This book includes a photograph of Lewis and his wife Abache as well as drawings of Cudjo Abache and other survivors. This book was used by later researchers and writers as a resource about the residents of Africatown on the outskirts of Mobile and the history of the Clotilde. Zora Neale Hurston then a student of anthropology interviewed Cudjo Lewis and other Africans in Alabama as part of her research. She published an article in 1927 "Cudjo's Own Story of the Last African Slaver" purportedly based on her interviews with Lewis but later thought to be mostly derivative of Roche's text in Historic Sketches of the South. Exceptionally scarce source material and rarely found signed. The Knickerbocker Press hardcover
1779réf. K89BNAR73VU7Maastricht 1779. 8vo 22.5 x 13.5 cm. J.E. Dufour & P. Roux Contemporary decorated paper wrappers. 3 parts in 1 volume. 4 XXVII 1 232 pp. Very rare first edition printed in Maastricht of a mining manual by a French enlightened marquis who worked as chief librarian at the Hessen-Kassel court of Friedrich II 1720-1785. Although mentioned reference literature the book is very rare on the market and we found no copy in auction records. Luchet was an acquaintance of Voltaire and in fact had a letter of recommendation from him that helped him obtain his position at the Hessen-Kassel court. Luchet's other writings concerned literature and theatre which makes this mining manual a curious standout. It is unclear why this work was printed in Maastricht except that the Maastricht south Limburg region does have a long history of mining. In a lengthy discourse on mining in the preliminaries Luchet makes a strong pro-mining statement. This is followed by reflections on several aspects of mining often in a question and answer form. He goes into the medical consequences of mining and names several minerals and metals such as coal quartz lead tin gold silver copper and more.A second edition appeared in 1797 often bound with H.

réf. 5510Chicago: Cameron Amberg & Co. Printers ca. 1880. Illustrated chromolithographic broadside with map 21.25” x 13.125” plus margins inset map measuring 4.5” x 5.875” illus. measuring 3.25” x 12.5”. CONDITION: Very good margin chipped at upper right corner a few minor stains. A rare and striking broadside issued by the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway advertising the Rock Island through-express route and promoting the railroad’s numerous destinations connections and amenities. Featuring the eye-catching mix of typefaces and colors that characterized railroad advertising in this era this attractive broadside promotes the numerous midwestern stops and destinations accessible via the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific R’y. At this time two through-express trains for Kansas and Nebraska ran daily in connection with the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads. As noted here meals were served in palace dining cars for seventy-five cents each and 150 pounds of baggage were allowed on each full ticket and seventy-five pounds on each half ticket free. The line’s various destinations included Iowa City Council Bluffs Denver Salt Lake City and San Francisco as well as “all points in Kansas Nebraska Colorado Arizona New Mexico Utah Montana and California.” Showing the Rock Island R.R. in bold the inset map spans from Chicago and Lake Michigan in the east to Omaha and Council Bluffs in the west and reaches from St. Paul in the north to St. Louis and Kansas City in the south—with Lake Michigan lying in the upper-right corner. One axis of the line extends from Milwaukee and Racine Wisconsin to Leavenworth Kansas and another stretches from Chicago to Omaha. Various spurs connect to both. The lower section of the broadside features a marvelously detailed illustration of the interior of a palace dining car showing numerous fashionably dressed passengers seated and dining among African American waiters who are shown in the small kitchen and serving food. In the far-right end of the train men are depicted in drawing rooms—reading newspapers and smoking—and various railway operators and ticket-men appear at the ends of the car. Also included is a table of connections with various railroads that could be made in “Union depots.” Through-tickets via this route could be found on sale at all coupon offices in the U.S. and Canada. Those seeking additional information folders maps and times-tables are encouraged to contact any of the ten agents and managers of the Rock Island R.R. listed at the bottom who were based in New York Toronto Philadelphia Chicago etc. Established in 1847 as the Rock Island & LaSalle R.R. the company was reincorporated in 1851 as the Chicago & Rock Island R.R. Co.—its rails during this period reaching to Morris Illinois and later Ottawa. After acquiring the Mississippi & Missouri R.R. in 1866 the company was renamed Chicago Rock Island & Pacific R.R. Co. Expanding between 1873 and 1882 the company built more branch lines that reached into Iowa as well as Kansas City. In 1880 the firm was reorganized under the name Chicago Rock Island and Pacific R’y Co. and by 1883 extended nearly to the southern boundary of Kansas. After Congress granted passage across Indian Territory in 1887 the Rock Island R.R. began developing through Texas to Galveston as well as New Mexico Territory. During the 1920s the railroad enjoyed considerable success. In 1926 the company began constructing a freight line between Amarillo Texas and Liberal Kansas which was finished in 1929 and served to make accessible a country of rich grain. While the railroad industry continued fairly steadily through 1930 between 1931 and 1935 the Depression took a toll on the Rock Island R.R. and went into decline. The company ceased operation in 1980. OCLC records just one copy held at Yale. REFERENCES: “Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway Records” at Kansas Historical Society online.

1884réf. 173626Shanghai: Printed at the "Celestial Empire" office 1884. China is like a large pie. For many years covetous nations have been nibbling at the edge of the crust First edition of this eyewitness account of clashes between French and Chinese naval forces following the collapse of the Li-Fournier Agreement. Two tables show detail each side's ships and their specifications as well as the damage they sustained. The Tonkin War developed out of a tussle between France and China for influence in Vietnam. Following a number of engagements diplomatic exchanges between Li Hongzhang and Captain Ernest François Fournier produced a tentative agreement that China would withdraw from Tonkin and legally recognize a French protectorate. Negotiations however eventually broke down and the French launched an attack on Fuzhou on 23 August 1884. Foreign military observers including the two American authors of this report saw the engagement as a chance to evaluate the success of recent Chinese attempts to modernize the imperial navy. For the Qing empire the Battle of Fuzhou was a disaster the French fleet eight ships outgunning its eleven vessels all of which were eventually sunk. The defeat "paved the way for the dynasty's downfall" Po p. 206. The eight plates are after sketches made during the battle and show several Chinese ships before and after they were sunk. The final sketch is of a dog which drowned while trying to escape from the Yangwoo the Chinese flagship. Octavo. With 8 plates tables in text.

réf. 54641Coimbra: Imprensa Académica July 1930. Small quarto 25.5 × 19 cm. Original staple-stitched wrappers with two-color printed linocut; 22 pp. including insides of wrappers with an original graphic illustration and numerous linocut title headings. Binding with barely noticeable export restoration; sporadically somewhat fox-stained; else very good. Rare sole issue of the avant-garde journal which resulted from Branquinho da Fonseca's departure from the periodical "Presença" which was of central importance for the Portuguese avant-garde "Segundo Modernismo". "Presença" was previously founded by Branquinho da Fonseca not only as an experimental and innovative publication in terms of typography and art but above all as the medium of new Portuguese literature and poetry. Poems by Fernando Pessoa who was not so well known during his lifetime and is now considered one of the most important poets in the Portuguese language were published here for the first time. When Pessoa died in 1935 "Presença" printed a special issue in his honor with tributes and excerpts from Pessoa's letters. However "Presença" not only provided a forum for the avant-gardes of its own tongue but also promoted experimental exchange across borders: texts by Proust Gide Joyce Valéry and contemporary Brazilian authors were made accessible to the Portuguese public for the first time in many cases. Furthermore "Presença" ensured that the earlier Orplieu generation was firmly established in the canon of Portuguese modernism. Today Branquinho da Fonseca is best known as the author of the novel "O Barão" which is considered a Portuguese "masterpiece of its genre" in literary history. Cf.
