Description: First French edition of Bartram's Travels, which chronicled his explorations of the southern British colonies in North America from 1773–17772 volumes. 457 pages with frontispiece engraved portrait by Bovinet Mico Chlucco Grana, King of the Seminoles and one folding plate; 436 pages without title with large folding map by J.B. Poirson engraved by Alexandre Blondeau and folding plate. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in half leather with six spine compartments with red and black labels in gilt over original marbled boards. Translated by Pierre Vincent Benoist. (Sabin 3871; Palau 251346; Howes B223; Field 94) First French edition.William Bartram was an American naturalist. The son of the naturalist John Bartram. As a boy, he accompanied his father on many of his travels to the Catskill Mountains, the New Jersey Pine Barrens, New England, and Florida. In 1773, he embarked upon a four-year journey through eight southern colonies. Bartram made many drawings and took notes on the native flora and fauna, and the native American Indians. In 1774, he explored the St. Johns River, where he had memorable encounters with aggressive alligators, and also visited a principal Seminole village at Cuscowilla, where his arrival was celebrated with a great feast. He met Ahaya the Cowkeeper, chief of the Alachua band of the Seminole tribe. When Bartram explained to the Cowkeeper that he was interested in studying the local plants and animals, the chief was amused and began calling him Puc Puggy (the flower hunter). Bartram continued his explorations of the Alachua Savannah, or what is today Paynes Prairie. William Bartram wrote of his experiences exploring the Southeast in his book Travels through North & South Carolina, East & West Florida, the Cherokee Country, the Extensive Territories of the Muscogulges, or Creek Confederacy, and the Country of the Chactaws, Containing an Account of the Soil and Natural Productions of Those Regions, Together with Observations on the Manners of the Indians, published in 1791 and which is today simply known as Bartram's Travels. It was considered at the time one of the foremost books on American natural history. Many of Bartram's accounts of historical sites were the earliest records, including the Georgia mound site of Ocmulgee. In addition to its contributions to scientific knowledge, Travels is noted for its original descriptions of the American countryside. Bartram's writing influenced many of the Romantic writers of the day. William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and François René de Chateaubriand are known to have read the book, and its influence can be seen in many of their works. Ephraim George Squier and Edwin Hamilton Davis, in their book, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, name Bartram as "the first naturalist who penetrated the dense tropical forests of Florida."Condition:Some rubbing to original boards, page 143 of volume one has small burn mark affecting text, half title bound upside down in back, old water stain to plate of volume two. Fold-out map has repair to first fold, internally pages are clean and free of toning and foxing else a very good copy.

Description: Milano: GL Editore, 1988. Some minor creasing to red portfolio wrappers, else near fine. Prints are bright and clean, with minor rounding to some corners; also near fine. Scarce, with only 2 OCLC records located (Yale and Paris-Doucet).. First Edition.

Accompanied by 8 pp. interview, in Italian, printed in loose folio gatherings and hand-numbered as 79 of 120 trade copies. When Warhol started to apply photomechanical processes to his canvases, he famously declared: "The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine." Within a few years, under the banner of Mec Art, Gianni Bertini was employing similar photographic techniques in Paris, but not for their qualities of repetition. Instead, he drew photography into painting to flatten the distance between the two of them, in pursuit of new synthetic images that might represent the post-War commingling of humans and machines; more alchemy than collage. Luigi Cavallo, who animates the interview in this portfolio, proposes that we reconsider Bertini as "the conscience of our age.

Smith & Humphries 1412 (not recording this issue). BUC p. 973. RISM S4675 and SS4674. Stanley was an English composer, organist and violinist. "He became blind as the result of a domestic accident at the age of two, and began to study music as a diversion when he was seven. Little progress was made under his first teacher, John Reading ... but he got on so well under Maurice Greene at St Paul's Cathedral that before he was 12 he was appointed organist at the nearby church of All Hallows Bread Street. In 1726 he was elected to a similar post at St Andrew's, Holborn, 'in preference to a great number of candidates' (Burney), and in 1734 he was made organist to the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple, having resigned from All Hallows in 1727. According to his pupil John Alcock ..., Stanley's playing of voluntaries at the Temple and St Andrew's attracted musicians from all over London, including Handel. He was also an excellent violinist and for several years directed the subscription concerts at the Swan Tavern, Cornhill, and the Castle, Paternoster Row. In 1729 he became the youngest person to gain a BMus degree from Oxford University. ... Thanks largely to his remarkable memory, Stanley was able to enjoy a comfortable living as an organist and teacher and to join in music-making and card-playing with a large circle of friends. He was also able to direct several Handel oratorios during the 1750s, and after Handel's death in 1759 he assumed responsibility for the annual Lenten oratorio seasons at Covent Garden (later at Drury Lane), first with J.C. Smith and from 1776 with Thomas Linley." Malcolm Boyd, revised by A.G. Williams in Grove Music Online.
