1925Acquaforte su lastra di zinco, misure: mm 103 x 190; foglio mm 375x 505. In basso a destra timbro a secco «Centenario Gio. Fattori 1925». Lastra conservata presso il Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi. Esemplare appartenente alla tiratura Benaglia, eseguita in occasione del centenario dalla nascita di Giovanni Fattori nel 1925, quando Giovanni Malesci (nominato dal Maestro suo erede universale) decise di dare alle stampe 164 lastre (per un totale di 166 fogli, perchè due incise anche sul verso) tra le 178 ritrovate nello studio di Fattori stesso. Così furono eseguite 2 tirature da 50 esemplari presso l’editore Benaglia di Firenze, a seguito delle quali le matrici furono donate al Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe degli Uffizi. Bellissima impressione stampata su carta con filigrana "Corona merlata sulla scritta UMBRIA / ITALIA" e filigrana "Ovale con lettere CPO". Ampi margini intonsi, ottima conservazione. Pittore e incisore. Viene soprattutto ricordato come uno dei principali esponenti del movimento dei Macchiaioli e come artista di spicco nel panorama ottocentesco, nonché come prolifico incisore dal segno vivace e del tutto personale. Fattori era solito stampare da sé i suoi lavori utilizzando un piccolo torchio, esegue tirature irregolari spesso contraddistinte da una ricerca per gli effetti di chiaroscuro e da un uso sapiente delle velature. Gli esemplari di una stessa lastra sono perciò spesso differenti, più carichi e attenti agli effetti di luce nelle tirature curate dall’autore, meno caldi e più nitidi quelli fatti stampare presso la Calcografia. Il ritratto, i soggetti militari, testimonianza dell’interesse verso i fatti risorgimentali, gli animali della campagna e gli scorci di vita comune sono i soggetti che più lo impegnano.

Example belonging to the Benaglia issue, made on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Giovanni Fattori in 1925, when Giovanni Malesci (appointed by the Master as his universal heir) decided to print 164 plates (for a total of 166 sheets, because two of them were also engraved on the reverse) from among the 178 found in Fattori's studio. Thus, two issues of 50 copies were printed by the publisher Benaglia of Florence, and afterwards the plates were donated to the Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe of the Uffizi.

Archive of Walter Johnson's 1933 Atlantic City High School yearbook and related reunion materials documents African American student life within a formally integrated but socially segregated New Jersey public school during the Great Depression. Johnson a graduating senior in 1933 appears in a yearbook extensively inscribed by classmates whose messages span both commencement year and later reunions preserving contemporaneous peer networks across four decades. Created in a city where redlining confined most Black residents to Atlantic City's Northside neighborhood the volume and accompanying ephemera situate one student's educational experience within broader histories of African American urban life public schooling in the Jim Crow North Depression-era youth culture and Black alumni civic organization.

1650Acquaforte e bulino, 1650 circa, numerata 11 nell’angolo superiore sinistro. Questa tavola appartiene alla suite di Baccanalia descritte da Robert- Dusmenil (IV, 12-17) il cui frontespizio, inciso da Nicolas Cochin il Vecchio recita “Recueil de diverses Baccanales de Poussin, Chapperon, D’origny et autres”. Tutte le stampe della serie contengono gli indirizzi dei rispettivi editori ma non i nomi dei disegnatori e degli incisori, il che rende difficile attribuire definitivamente le opere ad artisti specifici. Le stampe furono probabilmente pubblicate per la prima volta dagli editori François Langlois, noto come 'il Ciartres' (1589 Chartres - 1647 Parigi), e Philippe Huart (attivo intorno al 1639-1648) e furono seguite da una seconda edizione pubblicata da Pierre Mariette. I disegni per le incisioni potrebbero provenire da Nicolas Chaperon o dallo stesso Dorigny. Sei tavole della suite, benchè prive della firma dell’autore, per ragioni stilistiche, sono riconducibili a Dorigny, autore di un’altra suite di Baccanalia, composta anch’essa da sei lastre, tutte recanti la sua firma (Robert-Dusmenil, IV, 6-11). Incentrate sulle attività di Bacco, Sileno e la loro allegra compagnia, queste due serie di affascinanti composizioni all'acquaforte dimostrano la ricchezza e la destrezza dei poteri di invenzione di Dorigny. In contrasto con la maggior parte delle sue prime interpretazioni delle opere di Vouet e altri, dove spesso usava il bulino per aumentare leggermente la sua vigorosa acquaforte (vedi cat. 102), alcune delle stampe successive di Dorigny, in particolare queste due suite di baccanali, si affidano ancora di più al bulino. Questa tendenza è parallela a un graduale cambiamento nel suo disegno, che rivela una crescente tendenza verso contorni pronunciati e figure più scultoree. Dopo essersi formato per cinque anni sotto Georges Lallemand a Parigi, Michel Dorigny si unisce presto alla cerchia del pittore Simon Vouet, con il quale stringe un'amicizia stretta e duratura. Dorigny divenne in seguito uno dei principali interpreti in campo tipografico dell'opera pittorica di Vouet e fu anche coinvolto come pittore in diversi progetti artistici del maestro. Le sue stampe comprendono opere su temi religiosi e mitologici così come stampe singole e serie su temi dionisiaci. Le suite probabilmente risalgono agli anni ’50 del XVII secolo quando, dopo la morte di Vouet. Bellissima prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Bibliografia Robert-Dusmenil, IV, p. 254, 14: Reed, French Prints from the Age of the Musketeers, p. 233. Etching and engraving, 1650 circa, numbered 11 at lower left. After training for five years under Georges Lallemand in Paris, Michel Dorigny soon joined the circle around the painter, Simon Vouet, with whom he struck up a close and lasting friendship. Dorigny subsequently became one of the main printmaking interpreters of Vouet’s painted oeuvre and was also involved as a painter in several of the master’s artistic projects. His prints include works on religious and mythological themes as well as individual prints and series on Dionysian topics. It is to this latter category that six etchings belong which Dorigny produced together with Nicolas Chaperon and other artists for the series entitled Recueil de diverses Bacchanales (Robert-Dumesnil, vol. IV, p. 254, nos. 12–17). All the prints in the series contain the addresses of the respective publishers but not the names of the designers and engravers, which makes it difficult to definitively ascribe the works to specific artists. The prints were probably first issued by the publishers François Langlois, known as ‘il Ciartres’ (1589 Chartres – 1647 Paris), and Philippe Huart (active around 1639–1648) and were followed by a second edition published by Pierre Mariette. The designs for the etchings may well stem from Nicolas Chaperon or from Dorigny himself. Another suite of six bacchanals (Robert – Dusmenil 6-11) bears on each plate the name of D’Origny as engraver. Both suites probably date to the 1650 when, after Vouet’s death, Dorigny became one of the most important decorative painters in Paris. Focused on the activities of Bacchus, Silenus, and their merry band of associates, these two etched sets of charming compositions demonstrate the wealth and dexterity of Dorigny's powers of invention. In contrast to most of his earlier interpretations of the works of Vouet and others, where he often used engraving to lightly augment his vigorous etching (see cat. 102), some of Dorigny's later prints, espe- cially these two suites of bacchanals, rely even more on engraving. This trend parallels a gradual shift in his draftsmanship, which reveals an increasing tendency towards pronounced contours and more sculptural figures. A fine impression, printed with tone on contemporary laid paper, with margins, very good condition.

The grand hall which housed the Bournville School of Art was the first public building in Bournville the model village founded by the Cadbury family. In line with typical Arts and Crafts Movement ideals and with a specific aim to further the ideas and principles of John Ruskin the school was originally conceived as a social centre for the village offering a practical and artistic education for the community. It became more formalised as a 'School of Arts and Crafts' in 1911 later becoming an art college in the 1920s. As a city Birmingham served as an important centre of the Arts and Crafts movement with the 'Birmingham Group' of artist-craftsmen cultivating their own distinct style. Predominantly based around the Birmingham School of Art and the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft the leading figures of the group included Joseph Southall Arthur and Georgie Gaskin Bernard Sleigh Maxwell Armfield and Charles Gere. An uncommon example of a bookbinding emanating from the dynamic atmosphere of Birmingham's Arts and Crafts Movement. London: William Heinemann. hardcover
réf. 2022125 Mount Vernon Street Boston Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. The letter would appear to relate to the formation of the American Society for Psychical Research. Six days before the writing of the present letter on 23 September 1884 Minot had been a member of a committee of nine scientists who met at Boston to consider the advisability of the formation of a society for psychical research in America William James being another member. Minot begins the letter by informing Ramsay that 'in regard to the International Congress' 'The matter has progressed thus far favourably and the extent of the interest in the project surpasses our expectations'. He continues with reference to 'The American Committee' which has been given 'full powers to act' by 'the Amer. Asstn. We have already received a gift of £1000 with promise of more as a fund the income to be expended by the Congress for the prosecution of research.' He continues: 'No definite public announcements can be made until the Council B.A.A.S. i.e. the British Association for the Advancement of Science has taken action in regard to the enterprise. As soon as it is in my power I shall take the liberty of communicating with you again concerning our plans.' Ramsay 'will readily understand that so vast an undertaking necessarily matures slowly; at present we are still in the stage of tentative suggestion and no services can be more valuable than those which contribute to spreading interest in the movement.' He hopes that Ramsay 'will assist in this way. There can be no question as to the readiness of the Americans to join in the proposed Congress – The next step must be to ensure the participation of the British scientists.' 25 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. unknown

Small unobtrusive stain to fore-edge of text overall even toning. A seemingly-unrecorded yearbook from the Washington D.C. branch of the Cortez W. Peters Business School the first African-American-owned business school in the United States. The co-educational school was founded in 1834 in the Nation's Capital followed in the next few years by branches in Chicago and Baltimore. The founder Cortez W. Peters taught himself to type as a child and went on to become the first African-American champion of the World's Amateur Typing Contest. Peters' school was one of the first to teach typing to Black students while also offering instruction in shorthand and other clerical skills. The present yearbook begins with a message from Peters which strikes a conciliatory tone in the wake of racial tensions that followed the conclusion of the Second World War: "We naturally resent discrimination lack of opportunities oppression.But on the other hand there are many other values to be considered which should make us tolerant and willing to work out these traditional handicaps generally." This is followed by messages from the dean and class president Eva Itene Brown then portraits of students and faculty a class history a class prophecy class will class poem and twelve pages of group photographs including shots of the men's and women's basketball teams the coronation ball and images featuring students in the classroom. Many of the students both men and women have included words of advice or stated their personal goals which are printed beside their portraits "To be a good typist" "To be a stenographer" and so forth.
