1883réf. 35676Kjøbenhavn Carl Lunds Bogtrykkeri 1883. Folio. 39x27 cm. Contemp. hcalf. Richly gilt back and gilt borders on covers. Light wear to corners and a few scratches to binding. Titlepage. 51 pp. Index Corrections and Addenda. With 171of 175 Flora Danica-plates of Scandinavian trees and bushes. All plates engraved and in fine handcolouring plates in near mint condition. Scarce re-issue of Flora Danica in exquisite handcolouring restricted to its trees and bushes. In this work the last editor of Flora Danica Joh. Lange selected all the original copper-plates which depicted trees and bushes from the whole work - in fact 9 of the earliest plates were damaged by fire and as such not useable for a print to be taken - and made this re-issue done with the original copper-plates as a separate issue of Flora Danica. Under his auspices all the prints were carefully hand-coloured with greatest care and often surpassing the original colouring. The paper used for the re-issue is of the same quality used for the last volumes of the original issue of Flora Danica of which the last volume vol. 17 came out the same year as this extract 1883. - Carl Christensen II p.257 No 119 - Nissen BBI: 1133 - Not in BMC NH. unknown

1898réf. 46402690Paris, Librairie Centrale des Beaux-Arts, s.d. [1898] ; album in folio , Sous chemise de percaline rouge fermée par trois attaches. PREMIER TIRAGE des 48 planches en couleurs réunies sous leur portefeuille d’éditeur portant en lettres dorées sur le premier plat « La Plante 48 planches ». Rarissime publication Art Nouveau de planches d’inspiration florale publiées sous les auspices du peintre suisse Eugène Grasset (1841-1917). Cette publication fait suite à un premier ouvrage du même titre paru en 1896 et comportant 72 planches. Toutes les planches sont nouvelles. Le principe en est le même: tous les modèles de décoration ou de mobilier sont appuyées d’une planche de botanique dessinée d’après nature avec la plus rigoureuse exactitude. Chacun pouvant, en comparant l’étude et l’interprétation, tenter de créer son propre modèle. Pour Grasset, considéré comme un des pionniers du décor Art Nouveau, « l’art décoratif loin de chercher le trompe-l’œil doit interpréter la nature pour en faire un ornement. Cette interprétation varie suivant les ressources offertes par la matière employée. » (Paul Berthon). Sont ainsi interprétés vigne, navet, butome, gui, soleil, sorbier, ricin, persil, ronce, céleri, pommier, groseiller, poireau, chèvrefeuille, bryone et vigne vierge. La majorité des planches sont signées par Maurice Pillard Verneuil (19). Les autres sont l’œuvre de J. Milesi, E. Hervegh, Georges Bourgeot (peintre verrier et céramiste élève de Grasset), Anna Martin, Marcelle Gaudin, Ch. Dozoul et Gorain. Quelques rousseurs pâles, petites décolorations sur la chemise. Bel exemplaire.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English and French. 248 pp. ; 176 color illustrations. -- with a bonus offer-- - May be EITHER: out of print OOP and extremely rare in this pristine condition; signed by author or contributor; or a first or special edition; inquire for details; English and French Edition; This large and sumptuously illustrated monograph presents the spectacular painting of a master colourist - Yannima Pikarli Tommy Watson. A Pitjantjatjana elder who maintains his home and studio in Alice Springs he still travels extensively across his 'Country' to fulfil traditional obligations. Watsons 'Dreamtime' stories inherited from his family relate to sites and geographical features within his 'Country'; all his paintings are of these designated places. While no two paintings are alike the characteristics of each place can be recognised. Watson is now regarded as a major figure within the contemporary Indigenous art movement and his work is known overseas by virtue of his designs for ceiling panels in France's Musee du quai Branly. An exhibition of his extraordinary abstract paintings will soon be held in Paris and for this reason the book contains a French translation of the text. . 2010. 1921394439 .

1946réf. 560415Napoli / Roma: Gaspare Casella Editore / De Luigi Editore 1946. Softcover. Very Good. Nos. 1-18 in 15 issues i.e. three double issues. Slim octavos. Text in Italian. Printed wrappers paper still supple. Owner's signature of author and critic Michele Cantarella a leading anti-fascist Italian expatriate on the cover of one issue and three issues with a bit of pencilled marginal bracketing by him. Modest toning wear and soil a few tiny tears at the spine ends the first five issues with the pages somewhat toned and occasional very light foxing mostly confined to the first and last leaves a nice very good or better run of this somewhat delicate Italian literary magazine that featured two publishers and three editors during this time period. Of particular note is the inclusion of "Angoscia" "Anguish" later known as "Anguish in the Barracks" in issue 16 a very early possibly the earliest published story by Italo Calvino predating his first book by two years. The final issue prints a "Referendum" of four questions for poets about their work and claim that they have already received responses from Eugenio Montale Cesare Pavesi Corrado Alvaro and others and will begin publishing their responses in the next issue but the magazine ceased publication with No. 17/18. A well-preserved set of a cheaply wartime- printed magazine. Gaspare Casella Editore / De Luigi Editore unknown books

1822réf. 5548Edinburgh: Thomsons Brothers 1822. First edition. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards with gilt to spine. Measuring 140 x 80mm and collating complete including frontis and publisher's catalogue to rear: vii 1 blank 199 1 errata 8 1 blank. A Near Fine copy with some scuffing to boards and joints and small chip to foot of spine. Contemporary ownership inscription to front endpaper: "Margaret Jane Palliser. Dublin 1824." A scarce work of juvenile fiction aimed at young women it is unrecorded in OCLC and Sadleir though there is mention of a later 1824 "fourth edition" and an American edition from 1827. Simple on its surface each new chapter of Harriet and Her Cousin unfolds a new layer of prejudice that all too commonly prevents young women from finding meaningful connections with each other. Raised in a rural religious household young Harriet has a spiritual awakening that leaves her soul altered. More excited about the world and the people around her and more capable of subtle observations she undertakes a journey to Edinburgh both to visit her soon-to-be-wed best friend Maria as well as to visit her grandfather and cousin Julia. On arrival Harriet is shocked by Julia's coldness and initially assumes it is prejudice against her own Christianity. Introduced to the sparkling and accomplished ladies of Julia's circle she then begins to suspect it is prejudice against her simple country nature. Only over time does Julia feel comfortable opening up to Harriet about her loneliness -- an isolation born out of the high society expectations that women reserve warm feelings and engage instead in gossip back-biting and flirtations that make them untrustworthy. As she has witnessed Harriet's refusal to conform to these behaviors Julia bonds with Harriet as an intimate friend capable of deep and meaningful conversation. Indeed Harriet learns that even with her awakened spirituality she too has much to learn about dismantling her own prejudices. Thomsons Brothers unknown books
