…half of the half-dozen had
become members of a fantastic sect of Convulsionists, and were even
then considering within themselves whether they should foam, rage,
roar, and turn cataleptic on the spot….
The Convulsionists were a group of religious enthusiasts in France ("les
convulsionaires"), so-called for the "convulsions" they performed
under divine inspiration. During the reign of Louis XV, they occupied a
prominent place in fashionable and aristocratic circles (Sanders 85).
Dickens' source for the "Convulsionists" is Mercier's Tableau de
Paris (1781-8), where they are described in a chapter called "Amour du Merveilleux" ("Love of the
Marvelous"). Catalepsy – one of the symptoms attributed to Dickens'
Convulsionists – is a disease characterized by seizure and prolonged
unconsciousness, described in the Dictionary of Daily Wants
(1859) as follows:
CATALEPSY – A disease purely of a
nervous character, in which certain parts of the nervous system are in
a state of profound coma, or sleep, and others preternaturally excited.
The patient remains exactly in the position and attitude, in which he
was taken in the fit, for from two or three minutes[;] sometimes the
period extends to several hours. The chief characteristic of this
disease is the rigidity of the muscles and entire body; and though the
limbs may be moved into any position, the patient himself has no
control over them, or knowledge of what is done. The remote cause of
this disease depends upon some of those half revealed phenomena that
give rise to other maladies affecting the brain and spinal marrow;
while the more immediate cause is often any sudden paroxysm of joy or
anger, strong emotions of the mind, or inordinate grief. The attack
generally comes on without any previous warning. The treatment
is first to discover and remove all exciting causes and sources of
irritation, and then by a course of alteratives and tonics, purify and
brace the system. At the same time change of scene, exercise, and
sea-bathing act as powerful auxiliary means. Should the attack be
attended with headache, suffusion of the eyes, or ringing in the ears,
blood-letting must be resorted to, and a blister applied on the nape of
the neck, before adopting the course of systematic tonics already
mentioned. (250)
Catalepsy agrees with the general
behavior of Dickens' Convulsionists in its unexpected onset, and its
relationship to "exciting" causes of undiscoverable origin. Mercier
describes the behavior of the Convulsionists as follows:
The convulsionaries have
accomplished tours de force which surpass, it must be admitted, the
most shocking things one could see at a fair. Few have the secret of
it; in addition, their contortions rightfully astonish us and even
scare the most intrepid glances and the spirits most on guard against
the marvelous. One can be assured that these tricks have something
truly extraordinary about them, although it is well known how much
ardour, fanaticism and the desire to make conversions can accomplish.
If it all seems a bit supernatural at times, this is highly
understandable. (qtd. in and translated by Maxwell 414)
Beside these Dervishes, were
other three who had rushed into another sect, which mended matters with
a jargon about 'the Centre of Truth'…
A dervish is "[a] Muslim friar, who has taken vows of poverty and
austere life. Of these there are various orders, some of whom are known
from their fantastic practices as dancing or whirling, and as howling
dervishes" (OED). Like the
French Convulsionists of Louis XV's time, dervishes – especially the
"whirling" or dancing dervishes – were religious enthusiasts who danced
under the influence of divine inspiration. The "jargon about 'the
Centre of Truth'" refers to a pseudo-spiritual position described in
Mercier's Tableau de Paris (1781-8), in a chapter on the
"Love of the Marvelous":
A new sect [writes Mercier],
composed above all of young people, appears to have adopted the
widespread visions in a book titled Errors
and Truth, work of a hothead mystic who has had, nonetheless,
several flashes of genius.
This sect is driven by vaporous affections; a singular sickness common
to all France for half a century [previous to the 1780s, when this
account was written]; a sickness which favours every divergence of the
imagination and gives it a tendency towards the prodigious and the
supernatural. According to this sect, man is a degraded being, moral
evil is his own work; he has departed from the centre of truth; God, by
his clemency, keeps him within the circumference, when He might have
allowed him to wander out towards infinity; the circle is nothing but
the explosion of the centre: it is up to man to get back to the centre,
by way of a tangent.
In order to follow this tangent, the sectarians of these hollow ideas
live in the most rigorous continence, fasting up to the point of
wasting away altogether, thus procuring themselves ecstatic dreams, and
keeping at a distance all earthly things, in order to leave the soul
its complete liberty and to keep open a path to the centre of truth.
(qtd. in and translated by Maxwell 414-5)
Such frizzling and powdering
and sticking up of hair, such delicate complexions artificially
preserved and mended, such gallant swords to look at, and such delicate
honour to the sense of smell, would surely keep anything going, for
ever and ever.
Aristocratic fashions of the second half of the 18th century included –
in both France and England – wigs and headdresses of unprecedented
proportions and elaborateness. 19th-century English histories of
costume like Fairholt's Costume in England (published in
1860, and thus roughly contemporary with A Tale of Two Cities)
commemorate the 18th-century penchant for elaborately-dressed false
These engravings from Fairholt, which accompany the text given below,
demonstrate the extent to which "frizzling and powdering and sticking
up of hair" increased in France and England from the 1760s through the
time of the French Revolution:
By contrasting the head-dress of the lady
in the cut already given
upon page 310 [above left] with the following group [above right,
1-4], the reader will at once detect the great change effected
by fashion
in this particular portion of female costume. Fig[ure]s 1 and
2 are copied from engravings by G. Bickham to The Ladies
Toilet, or the Art of Head-dressing in its Utmost Beauty and
Extent, translated from the French of "Sieur Le Groos,
the inventor and most eminent professor of that science in Paris,"
published in 1768. The figures in this very curious book (of
which there are thirty) were so much admired in Paris, that
we are told, "not only all the hair-dressers of any note
have them, both plain and coloured, in their shops, but every
lady's toilet is furnished with one of them, very elegantly
bound, and coloured to a very high degree of perfection."
To describe fig[ure] 1, in the author's own words: –
"This head is dressed in two rows of buckles (or close
curls), in the form of shellwork, barred and thrown backwards;
two shells, with one knot in the form of a spindle, composed
of a large lock or parcel of hair, flatted, or laid smooth,
taken from behind the head, in order to supply the place of
a plume or tuft of feathers." Fig[ure] 2 is "dressed
with a row of buckles, the roots whereof are straight, two shells
(on the crown of the head), and a dragon or serpent (at the
side of the head, reaching to the shoulders), composed of two
locks of hair taken from behind the head, with a buckle inverted
(running upwards from the nape of the neck to the crown, where
it is fastened by a comb). These serpents or dragons are seldom
worn but at court-balls, or by actresses on the stage."
Figures 3 and 4 in the illustration above
are taken from A Treatise on Hair by "David Ritchie,
hairdresser, perfumer, etc." Ritchie's title suggests
that the individuals responsible for fashion in hairdressing
were also professionally concerned in what Dickens calls "delicate
honour to the sense of smell." Indeed, Fairholt notes
that hairdressers enjoyed an especially elevated status during
this period, and pretended to diverse areas of expertise:
[I]n these days, hairdressers were
great men, and wrote books upon their profession, laying no small claim
to the superior merit of "so important an art"; and not content with
merely describing the mode of dressing the hair, "favoured the world"
with much learning on the origin of hair, affirming it to be "a vapour
or excrement of the brain, arising from the digestion performed by it
at the instant of its nourishment"; with many other curious and learned
conclusions, into which we cannot think of following them. The figures
selected from this book [3&4 above] will show with what care and
dexterity ladies' heads were then dressed, "with many a good pound of
wool" as a substratum, over which the hair was dexterously arranged, as
the reader here sees, then bound down with reticulations, and rendered
gay with flowers and bows. (312-3)
Dickens' apparent disapprobation for
the processes described here, though obviously a matter of personal
preference, evidently has significant basis in fact. Fairholt describes
[h]eads thus carefully and
expensively dressed were, of course, not dressed frequently. The whole
process is given in the London Magazine of 1768: "False locks
to supply deficiency of native hair, pomatum in profusion, greasy wool
to bolster up the adopted locks, and grey powder to conceal dust." A
hairdresser is described as asking a lady "how long it was since her
head had been opened and repaired; she answered, not above nine weeks;
to which he replied, that that was as long as a head could well go in
summer; and that therefore it was proper to deliver it now, as it began
to be a little hasardé." The description of the
opening of the hair, and the disturbance thereby occasioned to its
numerous inhabitants, is too revolting for modern readers; but the
various advertisements of poisonous compounds for their destruction,
and the constant notice of these facts, prove that it is no
exaggeration. (313)
Despite such drawbacks, however, huge wigs
and headdresses remained in style up to the time of the French
Revolution. Dickens is describing French hair of the early 1780s,
and it was not until 1782 that headdresses topped out. As Fairholt
describes the trend,
The head-dress of the ladies still continued
as monstrous as ever, until in 1782 it reached the extraordinary
size depicted in our engraving [see below]. It consisted of
a heap of tow and pads, over which false hair was arranged,
and hung with ropes of pearls, gauze-trimming, ribbons, feathers,
and artificial flowers; until it added two or three feet to
the stature of the fair wearers. (320)

Defence chiefs insist privacy laws are a barrier to its military newspapers publishing the names of personnel punished for wrongdoing.
The Director of Military Prosecutions in August warned it was a "missed opportunity" for service newspapers to obscure incidents and not report names.
Naming and shaming would help denounce such conduct as well as encourage victims to come forward, the director said.
By contrast civilian newspapers openly printed names when they covered military trials.
So too does the US military newspaper Stars and Stripes.
Defence force vice-chief Ray Griggs, appearing before a Senate committee in Canberra on Wednesday, said there would be no changes to existing procedures.
"Our view is that we've got the balance right," he said, adding Defence was a "little cautious" in staying within the Privacy Act.
"None of us want to downplay the consequences of unacceptable behaviour."

Family of man who stole plane and crashed it 'stunned and heartbroken'
Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.
The family of an airport ground worker who stole a commuter plane from a Seattle airport Friday night and flew it around before crashing on a small island say they are "stunned and heartbroken" over the act that ended with his death.
"This is a complete shock to us," the family of Richard Russell, who was known as "Beebo," said in a statement read Saturday evening by a family friend. "We are devastated by these events, and Jesus is truly the only one holding this family together right now. Without him, we would be hopeless."
Russell, 29, who worked for Horizon Air as a ground service agent, took off in an empty Q400 turboprop plane from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport without authorization at around 7:30 p.m. Friday and performed aerial maneuvers that included what appeared to be a loop during the around hour-long flight before the plane crashed on sparsely populated Ketron Island, officials said.
In recordings of air-traffic control radio, Russell appeared to tell controllers that he was surprised by how much fuel he'd burned through.
At another point he says,"I've got a lot of people that care about me. It's going to disappoint them to hear that I did this," and "I would like to apologize to each and every one one of them. Just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess — never really knew it until now."
The family referenced that and other conversations in Saturday's statement, saying Russell "was a faithful husband, a loving son, and a good friend."
"As the voice recordings show, Beebo's intent was not to harm anyone. He was right in saying that there are so many people who have loved him," the family said in the statement.
Military jets followed the plane as it was in the air. The crash caused a fire on Ketron Island, which is southwest of Tacoma and off the coast of Steilacoom and is sparsely populated with only about 20 year-round residents, officials said.
There were no reports of any injuries on the ground, and on Saturday the Washington State Department of Natural Resources said the fire was contained at 1.8 acres.
Russell worked for Horizon Air for 3 ½ years and was a ground service agent, Alaska Air CEO Bradley Tilden said. Horizon is a subsidiary of Alaska Airlines.
Gary Beck, the president and CEO of Horizon Air, said Saturday that to their knowledge Russell did not have a pilot's license, and it is unclear how Russell knew how to start the plane's engine, which involves a series of switches and levers.
"We don't know how he was able to do that, we don't know how he learned to do that," Beck said.
Tilden said that Russell had passed multiple criminal background checks. The airport said he was fully credentialed and had access to the area from where he took the plane.
The aircraft was parked in a maintenance position and was not scheduled for a flight Friday night, and Russell used a machine called a pushback tractor to rotate the aircraft 180 degrees so he could taxi the aircraft into "the active surfaces" and take off, officials said.
Rick Christenson, who retired in May as an operational supervisor with the airline, told The Seattle Times that Russell was "a quiet guy.'
"It seemed like he was well liked by the other workers," he told the newspaper. "I feel really bad for Richard and for his family. I hope they can make it through this."
In a blog believed to have been written by Russell that has its last entry in December 2017, there doesn't appear to be any indication that he would take a plane.
It says he was born in Key West, Florida, and moved to Wasilla, Alaska, when he was 7 years old, and that one of the benefits of working for an airline was flight benefits, which "were my last hope of seeing my beloved family and state on a regular basis."

The irony of the possibility of war today on the birth date of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is not lost on members of Palm Beach County's black community.
"I know Martin will turn over in his grave when he knows the world is expected to be at war on his birthday," said Delray Beach businessman Clay Wideman, a member of the city's Community Redevelopment Agency.
Some questioned the irony of the U.N. Security Council setting today -- King's birthday -- as the deadline for Iraq to leave Kuwait.
"I'm not so sure it's coincidental," said Rosetta Rolle, president of the Delray Beach Voters League.
Lena Rahming, director of the Boynton Beach Child Care Center, agreed.
"Where did the 15th come from?" Rahming asked. "Why did they choose the 15th? Was this date chosen to spoil what Dr. King fought for? He stood for non-violence and here, they're marking his birthday with war."
For Riviera Beach Mayor Clara Williams the coincidence comes as quite a contrast.
"Here is a time when we should be celebrating and feeling good about the accomplishments of Dr. King," Williams said. "And on the other hand, here we are with bated breath, wondering what's going to happen. Will we go to war?"
Although today is his actual birthday, Martin Luther King Day will officially be on Monday. There are a smattering of activities throughout the county today.
However, many began holding vigils as early as Monday night in support of a peaceful solution to the Middle East crisis.
Some optimists say if King were alive, a solution would have long ago been reached.
"Non-violence was definitely his forte," Wideman said. "I feel that Martin, considering the kind of man he was, would have found a way to end the situation."
He would certainly find the right strategy to deal with a man like Saddam (Hussein of Iraq)."

Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np, profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in Japanese and English. With a chronology. "Originally published on August 6, 1965 - the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima - Kikuji Kawada's "The Map (Chizu)" is a true icon in the history of photographic publishing. Its status as the "ultimate photobook-as-object", coupled with its scarcity, combined to make it one of the most famous and sought-after photographic publications in existence. "The Map" combines powerful graphic design with a masterful photographic narrative exploring recent Japanese history - its imperialist past, western-influenced popular culture, and brutally violent clash with the United States. The photographs, many visible only with the opening of the multiple double-page gatefolds, capture on high-contrast film scenes of places and objects seared with the memory of horrific wartime events, from the atomic-bomb dome in Hiroshima to a trampled Japanese flag. Nazraeli Press in association with Getsuyosha Ltd. is proud to announce a facsimile reprint of this historic book. This edition is limited to only five hundred copies for distribution in the United States and Europe. Each copy is hand-numbered and signed by the artist, who also oversaw production of the project". A pristine copy of the 2005 NUMBERED AND SIGNED Nazraeli Press edition (whose 1965 Bijutsu Shuppan-sha first edition is cited on pages 286-287 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume I" and pages 212-213 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book") still in the publisher's shrinkwrap.

Shipping will be charged at cost., In 1795 William Blake was commissioned by a London bookseller to provide illustrations for an edition of Edward Young's 'The Complaint' and Blake produced a series of 537 watercolours, an illustration for every twenty lines of text. The original pages were created by cutting the text from a 1st edition of Young's poem and mounting that text in a panel in the centre of each painting. The cost of the project, and poor sales meant that only 43 of Blake's designs were ever engraved, with almost 500 of the images remaining unpublished. These unpublished pages remained in the hands of private collectors until 1929 when they were dontated to the British Museum. This Folio Society edition is the only time all 537 of Blakes images have been published together and in colour. , Folio 13" - 23" tall, [548] & xx + 362 pp .

As New/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. Unpaginated. 40th-Anniversary Edition of the artist/photographer's masterpiece. One of the greatest Artist Books of the 20th century. Limited Slipcased Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Published simultaneously but should not be confused with the Japanese Edition of 1000 copies. Both editions are now rare. A stunningly beautiful new production by Kikuji Kawada: Regular-sized volume format. Black cloth boards with metallic-black titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Kikuji Kawada. Pamphlet laid into the slipcase. Pictorial hard board slipcase. Printed using digital-reproduction technology by Kawada himself, who considers the results superior to the 1965 Edition: The plates "have a tonal clarity, warmth, and richness that offset lithography in the 1960's could not produce". In publisher's original shrinkwrap. Without DJ, as issued. Presents "Chizu", "the ultimate photobook-as-object", in a definitive new realization. Originally published on August 6, 1965 to commemorate the bombing of Hiroshima, the guiding idea of Kikuji Kawada's memorial is archaeological layering. Using multi-panel foldouts, the "various layers inside peel away like archeological strata. The whole process becomes one of uncovering and contemplating the ramifications of recent Japanese history. Kawada's photographs are a masterly amalgam of abstraction and realism, of the specific and the ineffable, woven into a tapestry that makes the act of reading them a process of re-creation in itself. In the central metaphor of the map, in the idea of the map as a series of interlocking trace marks, Kawada has conjured a brilliant simile for the photograph itself: Scientific record, memory trace, cultural repository, puzzle, and guide" (Martin Parr and Gerry Badger). An absolute "must-have" title for Kikuji Kawada collectors. <b><i> This copy is one of the Nazraeli Press Limited Slipcased Edition, labelled as such on the slipcase's spine ("NZ") in order to distinguish it from the twice-as-many Japanese Edition of 1000 copies, and indicated as such on the Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in black ink-pen, kanji style, by Kikuji Kawada. This edition marks the very first time the title has been reissued, mainly in response to the fact that the very few surviving copies of the 1965 First Edition are in fragile, decaying condition yet easily command between $20, 000 and $30, 000. It is highly collectible in its own right. This is one of very few copies of the Limited Slipcased Edition still available online, is still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, and has absolutely no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. </b></i> 49 plates, 23 foldouts. "Chizu" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest artist/photographers of the 20th century. A flawless collectible copy. . ISBN 4901477161.

Everything That Rises Must Converge
New York. Limited Editions Club. 2005. Bound in full crimson cloth over boards. Gilt-titled grain morocco label inset to front cover. Encased in like covered Solander box with gilt-titled grain morocco label inset to spine. Elephant Folio. 17" x 22". This Edition Limited to 300 numbered copies of which this is #24. Signed by Benny Andrews to Colophon. Illustrated with six original colour etchings by Benny Andrews, hand printed on BFK Rives by Peter Pettengill Everything That Rises Must Converge is a collection of short stories written by Flannery O'Connor during her final illness. The title of the collection and of the short story is taken from a passage from the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. The collection was published posthumously in 1965.& & Just one year before her death in 1963, Flannery O'Connor won her second O. Henry Award for ''Everything That Rises Must Converge,'' a powerful depiction of a troubled mother-son relationship. In 1965 the story was published in her well-regarded short fiction collection, Everything That Rises Must Converge.& & Most critics view ''Everything That Rises Must Converge'' as a prime example of O'Connor's literary and moral genius. The story exemplifies her ability to expose human weakness and explore important moral questions through everyday situations. Considered a classic of the short story form, ''Everything That Rises Must Converge'' has been anthologized frequently.& & The story describes the events surrounding a fateful bus trip that an arrogant young man takes with his bigoted mother. The mother insists on her son's company because she doesn't like to ride the bus alone, especially since the bus system was recently integrated. The tensions in their relationship come to a head when a black mother and son board the same bus.& & O'Connor utilizes biting irony to expose the blindness and ignorance of her characters. The story's title refers to an underlying religious message that is central to her work: she aims to expose the sinful nature of humanity that often goes unrecognized in the modern, secular world. A Very Fine, Pristine,apparently unread copy. Near Fine+ Box presents very mild sunning to top edge of front panel,small bump to fore-edge and two corners and a small, benign patch of darkening to upper rear panel. A Very Rare and important LEC issue.

Hardcover. As New/None, As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. Unpaginated. Artist Book. One of the greatest photography books of our time. Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies. Should not be confused with the Limited Edition of 1500 copies. The Limited Slipcased Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Stephen Gill and Melanie Mues: Regular-sized volume format. Blue pictorial cloth boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Stephen Gill. 15 X 21 inch color poster laid-in. 6 X 8 inch archival original color print encased in its own cream envelope. Handmade slipcase, each of which is made from material that the photographer bought at Hackney Wick. As a result, every slipcase of the edition is unique. Printed on thick coated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the very highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents some of the most arresting documentary photographs ever taken in our time. "I first came across the area in January 2003 when I was photographing the back of advertising billboards. Although I had lived in London for nine years and thought I knew East London well, Hackney Wick threw me. It completely changed my mental map of this part of London. Over the next two years (2003 through 2005) , I visited Hackney Wick again and again. Hackney has long provided a refuge for immigrants and asylum-seekers from all over the world and for me, Hackney Wick especially reflects the great diversity of London" (Stephen Gill) . To capture the distinctive flavor, ambience, and soulful human face of Hackney Wick, Stephen Gill used the most rudimentary, "low-tech" camera, in a defiant gesture of rebellion against the now-pervasive and often soulless "hi-tech" digital camera favored by professional as well as amateur photographers. The resulting photographs echo the work of Gill's great predecessors, notably Stephen Shore, yet remain in a class of their own. This is the first and still most fully realized production of the "object-in-relation-to-place" motif that runs throughout Stephen Gill's work: He took the trouble of retrieving material from Hackney Wick to create each slipcase and the print that comes with the book is the most evocative trace of the place, which will disappear altogether when it is turned into the site of the 2012 London Olympics. A "must-have" edition for Stephen Gill collectors. <b><i> This copy is one of the Limited Slipcased Edition, indicated as such on the Front Limitation Page, and is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully numbered and signed in black pen by the photographer: "(Number) /100 Stephen Gill". It comes with an original color print, also very prominently and beautifully titled and signed in black pen on verso by the photographer: "Hackney Wick, 2005 Stephen Gill". This edition is now highly collectible. This is one of very few copies of the Limited Slipcased Edition still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. </b></i> 100 color plates. Stephen Gill's "Hackney Wick" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most brilliant living photographers. A flawless collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER STEPHEN GILL TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0954940520.

The single most sexually explicit title published by Twin Palms thus far. Deluxe Edition of 50 numbered and signed copies. Should not be confused with the regular edition. A stunningly beautiful production by Jeff Burton and Jack Woody: Oversize-volume format. Handsome black cloth boards with metallic-black titles embossed on spine, as issued.

Typography by Arlyn Eve Nathan. Matching black cloth clamshell box. Printed on thick glossy stock paper to the absolutely highest standards. In pictorial DJ with black titles on the spine, as issued. Presents the artist/photographer's celebration of every imaginable sex act, whether it involves one, two, three or more people. One immediately thinks: Robert Mapplethorpe in color. Yes, because many of the photographs involve sex of the extreme kind between men. No, because Jeff Burton's goal is to celebrate the sex act whereas Mapplethorpe's intention was to document for posterity the "sex life" he lived (and died for), which are two different things. Mapplethorpe saw himself and his sexual partners as noble martyrs, oblivious of anyone else. Jeff Burton sees his subjects as sublime beauties, who exist to be worshipped, loved, and desired by everyone else. "No one knows what a body is despite being in one, looking at its parts 24/7. Can't really see it all at once, which is part of the problem and causes the itch that needs to be scratched and the need to see pictures of the scratching" (Bruce Hainley). The book is named after the very first gay bar the ambisexual Jeff Burton went to, "The Other Place", whose slogan was simply, "Tops". A tour-de-force, this is a "must-have" title for Jeff Burton collectors. <b><i> This is a copy of the Deluxe Edition, and it is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in black pen on the Back Limitation Page by Jeff Burton.

Other Worlds: Journey to the Moon
Foolscap Press, 2005. Hard Cover. Fine. Leslie Lerner. Leslie Lerner. Hard Cover. 32 of 120 numbered copies. Signed by the translator and artist. "When thinking of Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655), most people will automatically bring to mind Edmond Rostand's play by that name. The play is about a poetic swordsman with a prominent nose, a fictional character, a burlesque of the actual man. Other Worlds: Journey to the Moon was written by the historical Cyrano, not the stage character. The Cyrano who wrote this science fiction epic was one of the most gifted poets of his generation. To quote the translator, 'His book is a poem from an age when poetry, physics, metaphysics, and astronomy could all still exist side by side in one book, albeit a fantastic one'" (Foolscap Press). Printed letterpress on Hahnemühle Bugra paper. Illustrated with eight direct-gravure etchings by Leslie Lerner which are printed on 300 gram Pescia. In this unusual binding "half pages" are opened revealing an etching in nearly every section of the book. The book measures 9 x 11 1/4 inches, bound in quarter goat skin leather and is housed in a custom made box. PRI/051710.

Slipcase has minor shelfwear, book fine. More images available on request. Superb first english language collection of essays by Daido Moriyama. Texts serve an essential introduction to the work of Moriyama, the great japanese photographer. 73 plates also show his work, which for those of you who are unfamiliar, is excellent. From the press release- "Daido Moriyama is without question one of Japan's most important contemporary photographers and it is not surprising that this memoir, first published as a series of essays in Asahi Camera twenty-one years ago, is regarded as a classic in photographic literature. In "Memories of a Dog", Moriyama approaches photography through language, and it is difficult to say which is the more evocative medium. His vividly expressive prose is in perfect harmony with the grainy, black and white images that in turn have a poetry all their own. As both reader and viewer one becomes completely absorbed, and photographs that will always be remarkable are given a new, very personal, layer of meaning. This is an eloquent autobiographical account of the artist's progress through life." Boldly flatsigned 'Daido' to titlepage.

Corrugations; Some speculations on Australian Tin
Marcham, Oxford: Alembic Press, 2005. Two oblong quarto volumes. (22); (22)pp., accordionfold. One of thirty-five copies. The two volumes are meant to be opened in tandem: the first volume contains a poem by Anne Bell printed in grey ink, illustrated with color linocuts, including five pop-ups, by the Australian-born painter and printmaker Katie Clemson. Depicted are sheds, silos, water towers, factories, and other buildings made from corrugated iron. Clemson captures the look of buildings in the haze of heat, using pale yellows, blues, and shades of green. The other volume contains a long, continuous linocut depicting graffiti on the side of a corrugated iron fence. A celebration of the cheap, durable, and lightweight building material that has become an iconic part of Australia's architectural landscape. Both volumes are bound in metallic pastepaper and housed together in a red cloth drop-back box, which has a small silver corrugated strip inlaid to the lid. With a color linocut of a corrugated iron shack laid in, captioned "If houses could talk" in pencil and signed and numbered by Clemson. Also laid in is a broadside of the entire poem. Designed, printed, and bound by Claire Bolton. Extremely fine.

DPM Disruptive Pattern Material: An Encyclopaedia Of Camoflage Nature, Military, Culture
Frances Lincoln Ltd 2005 - "This encyclopedic art book charts the history of camouflage from its inspiration in nature, through its adoption by the military, to its current uses in design and popular culture. Divided into two books totaling 944 pages, DPM offers comprehensive coverage of this multifaceted and highly engaging subject. It contains more than 5,000 images by the world's leading nature, military and fashion photographers. It includes a comprehensive guide to the camouflage patterns issued to soldiers of 107 nations around the world and documents the rise of camouflage outside the armed forces - its use by anti-war protestors in the 1960s, further exploration by modern artists, and reinvention within areas such as fashion, architecture, music, film and sport. Depictions of camo-clad cultural icons such as David Beckham, Robert De Niro, U2, Notorious B.I.G., Ali G, Neneh Cherry and Joe Strummer illustrate the theme. Rescuing camouflage from its unhappy associations with war and conflict, this book emphasizes its natural beauty. It is the modern reference guide for both the novice and the seasoned camoufleur." 2-vol. hardcover set in sturdy case, with several samples of camouflage pattern. A definitive work about the idea and the practise of camouflage. Fine condition. It weights around 6 kg: shipping rate will be quoted. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

THEN & NOW: HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, 1973-2004 - Rare Signed Copy of The First And Only Edition
Gottingen, Germany: Gerhard Steidl Druckerei Und Verlag, 2005 - 1st Printing. Signed. 148 pages. Published in 2005. Artist Book. One of the most important art and photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The edition is now very scarce. A brilliant production by Ed Ruscha and Gerhard Steidl: Oversize-volume format. As if to make a statement about the "weight" of time's passage, it is a huge book that weighs 7 pounds. Cream cloth boards with titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Art by Ed Ruscha. There is no text. Cardboard slipcase with black titles on one side. Printed on thick coated stock paper in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents one of Ed Ruscha's most stunning Artist Books ever, well worth the 27-year wait. In July, 1973, Ruscha, "loading a continuous strip of 30 feet of Ilford FP-4 black-and-white film into his Nikon F2 and then mounting it on a tripod in the bed of a pickup truck", drove back and forth across the 12 miles of street, shooting both the North and South sides of its entire length. The negatives were developed and the materials placed in storage. Thirty years later, in 2003, a digital record of Hollywood Boulevard was created and it served as a reference guide for a film documentary in 2004. The resulting materials of both shoots have been scanned and digitally composed into four panoramics of the complete twelve miles. The original 1973 North side view is shown along the top of the page and juxtaposed with its 2004 version. The panoramics face each other and they are aligned" (Publisher's blurb). While the sheer size of this book departs from his small, cheaply produced, and now-iconic Artist Books, it remains a continuation of Ruscha's Artist Book aesthetics simply because his whole art is deeply rooted in graphic design. His genuine understanding of and fondness for the singular gaudiness of American culture is also self-evident. "Good art should elicit a response of 'Huh? Wow! ' as opposed to 'Wow! Huh? ' " (Ed Ruscha). When one sees Ed Ruscha's "Then & Now", the response after "Huh?" can only be "Wow!" . An absolute "must-have" title for Ed Ruscha collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen on the front free endpaper by Ed Ruscha. Ruscha's signature on this copy is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. This title is a contemporary art and photography classic. This is one of very few signed copies still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. A rare signed copy thus. 4500 black-and-white and 13000 color plates. Four of Ed Ruscha's Artist Books were selected as among the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest living artists. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ED RUSCHA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 3865211054. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Nazraeli Press & Getsuyosha Ltd., Tucson, AZ & Tokyo 2005 - np, profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in Japanese and English. With a chronology. "Originally published on August 6, 1965 - the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima - Kikuji Kawada's "The Map (Chizu)" is a true icon in the history of photographic publishing. Its status as the "ultimate photobook-as-object", coupled with its scarcity, combined to make it one of the most famous and sought-after photographic publications in existence. "The Map" combines powerful graphic design with a masterful photographic narrative exploring recent Japanese history - its imperialist past, western-influenced popular culture, and brutally violent clash with the United States. The photographs, many visible only with the opening of the multiple double-page gatefolds, capture on high-contrast film scenes of places and objects seared with the memory of horrific wartime events, from the atomic-bomb dome in Hiroshima to a trampled Japanese flag. Nazraeli Press in association with Getsuyosha Ltd. is proud to announce a facsimile reprint of this historic book. This edition is limited to only five hundred copies for distribution in the United States and Europe. Each copy is hand-numbered and signed by the artist, who also oversaw production of the project".

Autograph musical manuscript of "Say Thou Dost Love Me. Sonnets from the Portuguese XXI," a work for unaccompanied voices (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), signed and dated Ithaca, 21 January 2012. [Subtitle]: Written "For the 25th anniversary of The New York Virtuoso Singers, Harold Rosenbaum, Artistic Director" and dedicated to Mimi Stillman
6 ff. Large oblong folio (375 x 292 mm.). Notated in pencil on one side of each leaf only on 14-stave Carta No. 25 music manuscript paper. With text by Elizabeth Barrett Browning commencing "Say over, say over, say over again, and yet once over again, that thou dost love me." . Stucky, a major figure on the contemporary American music scene, is one of the most highly regarded and frequently performed living composers. He won a Pulitzer Prize for his Second Concerto for Orchestra in 2005 and has written commissioned works for many of the major American orchestras. Long associated with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he was resident composer from 1988-2009, Stucky studied with Karel Husa at Cornell and has been a professor of composition there since 1980. & & "Stucky's style combines rigorous compositional techniques with direct, eloquent expression. This mixture results in colourful, variegated and attractive musical structures that exhibit clear formal patterns and carefully organized pitch arrangements. The influence of Bartók and Lutoslawski lends an Eastern European character to works such as Voyages (1984) and the Double Concerto (1985). Several other works (Boston Fancies, 1985; Concerto for Orchestra, 1986–7; Son et lumière, 1988) refer to Stravinsky in their juxtaposition of blocks of material. In later works, Stucky's harmonic language develops from atonal aggregates like those of Berio and Lutoslawski towards harmonic complexes that allude to triadic structures." James P. Cassaro in Grove online & & Browning (1806-1861) was one of the most prominent poets of the Victorian era. Her acclaimed "Sonnets from the Portuguese," a collection of 44 love sonnets written just prior to her marriage to Robert Browning in 1846, were first published in 1850.

There were also 300 copies issued in the standard edition and 50 copies issued unbound. Includes thirteen entomological identifications of mayfly specimens. For three years fly fisherman (and artist) Gaylord Schanilec became entranced by the mayflies he found fluttering about his favorite fishing spots lining the Mississippi River. He collected countless specimens, which he examined under his microscope and sent to entomologist Clarke Garry for identification. According to the author "to be included in this book, a mayfly had to be of importance to fly fishers - and I also had to catch one." Each specimen is illustrated with a color wood engraving and described with a scientific and at times poetic set of key characteristics. This deluxe edition is housed in a slipcase with a glass window at the top revealing eight fly fishing flies hand tied by David Lucca. The book is accompanied by a portfolio which contains seven proof sheets and an extra suite of the 13 engravings, each titled and signed. It is bound in full brown leather with a gilt fly on the spine, and the portfolio is bound with leather spine and green paper boards. The wood engravings in the book are printed on Gampi Torinoko paper. The type was composed by hand in Bembo Monotype. The slipcase is edged in matching leather with panels covered in green paper; the glass window is held into place with wood and the base is also wood. Winner of a Judges Choice Award at the 2005 Oxford Fine Press Bookfair and of the Carl Hertzog Award for 'excellence in book design';.

The Age of Partial Objects
2005. Fine. 18 of 25 copies. Dean Dass is a noted artist, printmaker, and book artist. There have been many exhibits of his work , which can be found in both public and private collections. He has taught at the University of Virginia since 1985. Until this book, all of his books over the past twenty years have been manuscripts and thus unique. The Age of Partial Objects is his first editioned book. He worked on it for 18 months in order to not compromise his ideas of what is a book. For him the tension between the unique and the reproducible is vital. According to his artist's statement, this book turns Melanie Klein's clinical term "partial objects" into a metaphor for an age consisting of fragments and fragmented knowledge. The result of his efforts is a stunning book that conveys mystery, the incomplete, and the melancoly of existence. On various papers, Dass used gouache, collage, pencil, inkjet, etching lithography, Xerox and Xerox transfer, and letterpress to create this book. Bound in grey and silver paper laminated on cotton with letter press text of title on cover. Quarto in fine condition. 150 pages. ArtistsBooks/110910.
