1796réf. 373692New York 1796. Engraved print. 14-1/2x20-1/2 inches plate size. Heavily toned creased through the image short edge tears. Engraved print. 14-1/2x20-1/2 inches plate size. A noted allegorical print celebrating the American Revolution. The print first published in 1796 and then again with the addition of extensive descriptive text in 1798 used classical iconography to illustrate America's victory in the American Revolution with the gods led by Minerva with the American eagle on her aegis paying honor to American heroes and laying waste to the concepts and persons of monarchy. As a French veteran of the American Revolution and transatlantic witness to the French Revolution it is perhaps unsurprising that the artist Renault would choose such subject matter for this dramatic piece. Reilly describes the print and its features in detail: "An allegory of liberty flourishing and monarchy and tyranny in decline. In a wooded grove Minerva with a shield bearing the arms of the United States and a flag emblazoned with stars pours libations on an altar fire. Beside her are three female figures. The first Plenty holds a torch to a pile of titles of nobility crowns scepters and other attributes of monarchy. Justice holds a sword and scales and Peace an olive branch. Behind them is a small pyramid on a pedestal inscribed with the names: Hancock Warren Sullivan Putnam Scamel Barber Green Laurens Wooster Mercer and Poor. Two urns on the monument are labeled "B. Franklin" and "Montgomery." To the right is a column surmounted by a seated nude Liberty figure holding a wreath. Below it stands a cherub with a scroll with the words 'Allons enfans de la Patrie.' an open book labeled 'The Rights of Man' a staff and liberty cap and a flag. Behind is a mountainous landscape and town. In the lower right foreground stands another group including a king about to stab himself several other monarchs cringing and a standing woman. In the lower left stand an aged classical priest and a writhing mutilated hydra appear. "Stauffer describes an impression the 1798 edition with re-engraved title and imprint accompanied by the following text: 'By a Column raised to Liberty is a Monument sacred to the memory of the American Heroes fallen in defence of their Country. While Liberty is Crowning them America uder sic the figure of Minerva sacrifices to their Manes and a Priest of that Deity sings their glorious actions. The Hydra of Despotism mortally wounded by those great men expires in frightful convulsions. Peace and Justice hand in hand join with America in her homage to Liberty. Plenty reclining on her emblematical Horn reposes on American ground. The Genius of Liberty points out the declaration of Independence and a Book of the American Constitution. From the dreadful Sight a group of Kings turn away with horror and dismay.'" Not much is known about Renault or Verger beyond their production of this print. unknown

1907Very Good English Original wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (19,5 x 13,5 cm). In English, Persian, and Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 26 p. Abû-Muhammad Muslih al-Dîn bin Abdallâh Shîrâzî, (1193-1292), Persian poet and prose writer, widely recognized as one of the greatest masters of the classical literary tradition. His influence is not limited to Persian literature. He also deeply affected Turkish and Urdu literature and the Western world (Encyclopadiae Iranica). Bostan [i.e. the Orchard] and Gulistan [i.e. the Rose Garden], his famous Works, were translated into many languages and commented. Pendname is one of Sa'dî's poetical works. In this ethical-based work, ethical values such as science, justice, consenting to fate, honesty, patience, generosity, modesty, and grace are praised. Bad habits such as talking to ignorant, cruelty, lie, arrogance, and stinginess are badly criticized. The Persian text of Sa'dî's Pendname, it's an English translation, and Ottoman Turkish translation in verse were printed together in the early 20th century. The work is about some moral characteristics that are seen as "acceptable and submissive" in societies and have been recited with the idea of benefiting people. (Source: A BOOK ON ETHICAL LITERATURE: SAADI'S PENDNAME, Melek Dikmen). Major William Henry Carmichael-Smyth, (1780-1861), was a British military officer in the service of the East India Company and an orientalist. In 1797, at the age of seventeen, he was commissioned into the Bengal Artillery. In 1803, the Second Anglo-Maratha War broke out, and he was present at the battles of Aligarh, Delhi, and Laswari. Carmichael-Smyth returned to India in 1810 as a captain and served in the Invasion of Java in 1811. Thereafter he returned to Bengal and went to Callinger as a field engineer where he was mentioned in dispatches for exemplary valor in 1812. He returned to England in 1820 and was elevated to Major in 1821. Not in Özege.; OCLC 50021435, 1065323294.

(24,5 x 18 cm). In Persian and English, not parallel texts. Text in English pp. i-244; in Persian pp. 1-199. One of a good printing in terms of the accordance of a western and an eastern language.

Overall a very good copy. Abû-Muhammad Muslih al-Dîn bin Abdallâh Shîrâzî, (1193-1292), better known by his pen name Saadi (or, Sadi, Sa'di), was a major Persian poet and prose writer of the medieval period. He is recognized for the quality of his writings and for the depth of his social and moral thoughts. Saadi is widely recognized as one of the greatest poets of the classical literary tradition, earning him the nickname "The Master of Speech" or "The Wordsmith" (Ostâd-e soxan) or simply "Master" [Ostad] among Persian scholars. He has been quoted in the Western traditions as well. Bustan has been ranked as one of the 100 greatest books of all time by The Guardian. Bustan [i.e. The Orchard] completed in 1257and it's entirely in verse (epic meter). It consists of stories aptly illustrating the standard virtues recommended to Muslims (justice, liberality, modesty, contentment) and reflections on the behavior of dervishes and their ecstatic practices. Gulistan is mainly in prose and contains stories and personal anecdotes. The text is interspersed with a variety of short poems that contain aphorisms, advice, and humorous reflections, demonstrating Saadi's profound awareness of the absurdity of human existence. The fate of those who depend on the changeable moods of kings is contrasted with the freedom of the dervishes. Saadi is also remembered as a panegyrist and lyricist, the author of a number of odes portraying human experience, and also of particular odes such as the lament on the fall of Baghdad after the Mongol invasion in 1258. His lyrics are found in Ghazaliyat [i.e. Lyrics] and his odes in Qasa'id [i.e. Odes]. He is also known for a number of works in Arabic. George Michael Wickens, (1918-2006), the translator of this edition, was a distinguished Canadian-British Persianist as well as Arabist, translator, and a University lecturer. Wickens was fluent in Persian and Arabic and was one of the pioneering figures of Persian literature in Canada. He translated several masterpieces of Persian literature as Boostan of Sa'di into English. (Source: Wikipedia).

Kurt Schwitters geboren 1887 besuchte nach einjähriger Kunstgewerbeschule 1909 - 1914 die Kunstakademie Dresden. Nach der Rückkehr in die Heimatstadt 1915 heiratete er Helma Fischer. 1918/19 Studium an der TU Hannover. 1918 stellt Kurt Merz Schwitters seine ersten Merzbilder aus und veröffentlicht seine ersten Gedichte. Nach der Begegnung mit Hans Arp nimmt er Kontakt zu allen Avantgarde-Gruppen auf führt auf Vortragsreisen und in Ausstellungen regelrechte Dada-Feldzüge und gibt von 1923 - 1932 die dadaistische Zeitschrift Merz heraus. 1933 wird sein Schaffen als entartete Kunst verboten. 1937 flieht Schwitters vor der Gestapo nach Norwegen 1940 nach England wo er am 8. Januar 1948 in Ambleside/Westmoreland verstarb. Obwohl Kurt Schwitters zu den bedeutendsten Künstlern der internationalen Moderne zählt ist sein vielseitiges bildnerisches Oeuvre nur partiell erschlossen. Erstmalig wird nun in einem dreibändigen Werkverzeichnis sein Gesamtschaffen dokumentiert und gewürdigt. Nach weltweiten Recherchen und der vollständigen Aufarbeitung des künstlerischen Nachlasses können jetzt rund 3600 Werke aus dem Zeitraum von 1905 bis 1948 vorgestellt werden darunter zahlreiche bislang unveröffentlichte Bilder und Zeichnungen. Schwitters' Arbeiten werden chronologisch und innerhalb eines Jahres nach Gattungen geordnet. Jedes Werk wird schwarzweiß abgebildet verschollene und zerstörte Arbeiten dokumentiert. Darüber hinaus werden pro Band 150 repräsentative Werke ganzseitig in Farbe präsentiert. Der erste Band enthält eine ausführliche illustrierte Biografie des Künstlers und versammelt die frühen und weniger bekannten Arbeiten aus den Jahren vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg sowie die Merzkunstwerke bis 1922. Kurt Schwitters was one of the most influential groundbreaking and forward-looking artists of international Modernism-yet only certain areas of his immensely diverse oeuvre have been thoroughly investigated and catalogued. His has now been properly and fully documented for the first time in a landmark three-volume catalogue raisonn which is particularly notable for bringing to light many of Schwitters' previously unpublished pictorial work including collages drawings and paintings. This first volume covers the artist's early years with little-known works form the period prior to World War I as well as the earliest MERZ pieces he created between 1918 and 1922.
