1967Best.-Nr. 192911967. Columbia Pictures Corporation To Sir With Love 1967 documents the international emergence of Sidney Poitier as a defining figure in African American film history presenting a Black educator navigating race class and authority within a working-class London school. The film situates Poitier's character within an interracial classroom addressing discipline respect and social hierarchy and contributes to the study of Civil Rights-era screen representation and the global circulation of Black leadership figures in popular cinema. Archive of 8 original lobby cards issued by Columbia Pictures Corporation each measuring approximately 14 x 11 inches all in color. The images feature Sidney Poitier in a range of narrative settings including classroom instruction scenes in which he addresses predominantly white students while dressed in formal attire reinforcing his role as an authoritative educator.

Other lobby cards focus on the students themselves emphasizing the group dynamics central to the film's narrative. All cards include printed captions identifying the film and principal actors. Produced during a period when Sidney Poitier had established his position as the first African American recipient of the Academy Award for Best Actor To Sir With Love extended his screen persona into an international educational setting aligning narratives of racial progress with themes of discipline and mutual respect.

A cohesive visual group illustrating Sidney Poitier's role in shaping representations of Black authority in late 1960s cinema. unknown

Founded in 1922 by sisters Margaret and Gwendoline Davies the Gregynog Press was one of the leading fine presses of the first half of the 20th century and predominantly focused on Welsh material. Bayntun Rivière and the Gregynog Press were connected through George Fisher 1879-1970 the latter's binder from 1924. Fisher completed his apprenticeship at Rivière's and studied under Douglas Cockerell. It was at Fisher's suggestion that a number of copies of every Gregynog edition were bound in more luxurious covers. Following Gwendoline's death in 1954 Margaret donated most of the machinery to the National Library of Wales. The University of Wales reopened the press under the name "Gwasg Gregynog" in 1978. Large octavo 153 x 231 mm. Numerous wood-engravings within text by Horace Walter Bray.

1838Best.-Nr. AMO-3063aris, Charpentier, Libraire-éditeur, 1838. [Imprimerie d'Ad. Everat et Cie]. 1 volume in-18 (18 x 11,5 cm) de XXII-408-(2) pages. Reliure demi-cuir de Russie vert sombre, dos lisse orné de roulettes dorées, plats de papier marbré, doublures et gardes de papier blanc, coins de parchemin (reliure de l'époque). Reliure en excellent état. Intérieur très frais malgré les rousseurs habituelles (les premiers et derniers feuillets étant plus touchés que les autres). Nouvelle édition. Première édition Charpentier dans ce format. L'édition originale de la Physiologie du mariage de Balzac parait à la fin de décembre 1829 sous la date de 1830, en 2 volumes in-8. Une deuxième édition voit le jour en 1834, également en 2 volumes in-8. On trouve ensuite les quatre éditions Charpentier. La première en 1838, la nôtre, inaugure avec quelques autres premiers titres le lancement de la Bibliothèque Charpentier dans le format in-18 anglais, dit format Charpentier, puis viennent les éditions de 1840, 1843 et 1848. C'est pour contrecarrer la contrefaçon belge que Gervais Charpentier crée sa collection in-18, de typographie compacte et à bon marché. Une contrefaçon belge parait d'ailleurs en 1834 à Bruxelles chez Méline. La publication de la Physiologie du mariage fit scandale, mais le Tout-Paris le considéra comme un événement et le succès pour Balzac fut sans précédent, d’autant plus qu’on voulait savoir qui se cachait sous la signature anonyme du jeune célibataire qui devint aussitôt un auteur à la mode (1830). A la fois essai, méditation, et récit, le texte oscille entre l’étude de mœurs et le traité analytique. C’est d’ailleurs dans ce dernier genre que la cinquième édition de l’ouvrage (Furne) classera l’œuvre en 1846 dans la section Études analytiques de la Comédie humaine. Mais malgré son caractère osé (pour l’époque), sa structure peu conforme au roman balzacien, la Physiologie jette les fondations de la Comédie humaine. Quelques aphorismes Balzaciens sur la femme et le mairage : Une femme honnête est essentiellement mariée. Une femme honnête à moins de quarante ans. Une femme mariée dont les faveurs sont payables n’est pas une femme honnête. Quand un homme a gagné vingt mille livres de rente, sa femme est une femme honnête, quel que soit le genre de commerce auquel il a dû sa fortune. Une femme honnête est celle que l’on craint de compromettre. La femme d’un banquier est toujours une femme honnête ; mais une femme assise dans un comptoir ne peut l’être qu’autant que son mari fait un commerce très-étendu et qu’elle ne loge pas au-dessus de sa boutique. Un volume savoureux où l'humour grinçant et réaliste est présent à chaque ligne. Très bel exemplaire conservé dans son élégante première reliure de l'époque. Cette édition au format in-18 de la Physiologie du mariage de Balzac marque une date importante dans l'histoire de l'édition au XIXe siècle.
1751Best.-Nr. AQ34346London: Printed for J. Robinson 1751. 4 278 273-287pp 1. Complete despite erratic pagination. Modern gilt-tooled green morocco contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Short tear to leaf U4 very occasional light spotting. An enlarged edition printed in the year after the first of a curious collection of comic advertisements found in coffee houses Vauxhall gardens and London theatres. The extracts - though primarily eccentric often outlandish and somewhat perverse pleas for some unorthodox service or amorous encounter - include the occasional theatrical notice notably a printed barb directed by David Garrick towards fellow player James Quinn; and in an infrequent foray into sporting life an amusing advertisement placed by a presumably male lovestruck spectator at a cricket match: 'Whereas on Monday last at the Cricket Match in the Artillery Ground was observ'd a young Woman dress'd in a blue and white washing gown a black petticoat and a black Beaver Hat with an Orange Ribbon round it.If the said young Woman will be pleased to describe a Place Where she may de directed or be spoken with may hear of honourable Proposals'. A third and final edition appeared in 1759. All editions are scarce the second is no exception; ESTC records copies at just two locations in the British Isles Cambridge and Oxford and two further in North America Harvard and Washington. ESTC N3048. Second edition with additions. 12mo. Printed for J. Robinson unknown
