Description
Verdigris, 2006. Hardcover. Fine. Rothchild, Judith. Rothchild, Judith. Hardcover. 20 of 30 copies. Copies 26 to 29 were hors commerce, and number 30 was given to the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. SIGNED BY ARTIST AND WRITER. This beautiful work has eleven stunning numbered and initialed mezzotints by artist Judith Rothchild. Rothchild is an American born artist who lives in the Languedoc region of France. Also a pastel artist, she has become famous for her mezzotints, perhaps the most difficult printmaking technique. Rouanet is a well known French writer. The colophon says that the work is a collaboration between the two, who share a deep love for the Languedoc. Rouanet's text, in French, was inspired by Rothchild's prints of food and wine and by the spirit of a local restaurant, Le Mimosa. The folio sized pages are loose in a yellow and green box made by Lisa Knoblauch with the front board decorated with mimosa leaves done by serigraph. Printed by Mark Lintott in Vendome Romain type on an Albion press. The prints are protected by tissue guards. 20 pages including the prints. PRI/061207.

The Theory and Practice of Color. 59 pp. Illustrated with photolithographic frontispiece and 8 colour charts consisting of several hundred tipped-in hand-painted colour samples. 4to., 255 x 195 mm, bound in publisher's light brown cloth, stamped in gray on front cover and spine. New York: The Prang Co., 1920. Third Edition of this treatise first published in 1918, and which is now rare. Published for the "average man," as opposed to the physicist, the chemist, or the artist, to whom many previous colour books appealed, this study is about colour appreciation, "the enjoyment of Color," in everyday life. Topics include colour values, psychology of colour, costume, interior decoration, and commercial design, illustrated with various colour charts. Samples in very good condition, with original tissue guards. Wear to the binding, but sound and the contents immaculate. Yale Library Gazette, July 1974, p. 46. The Book of Colour Concepts 552 cites first edition.

Description
Minneapolis: Physical Review, 1934. First Edition. Offprint, 8vo (267 x 201mm), pp. 18, [2]. With an addendum reprinted from The Physical Review, Vol. 45, No. 5. March 1, 1934, 8vo (267 x 201mm), p. 1. This paper is a direct ancestor of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), the most accurate theory in the history of science. It established the "Symmetry" between matter and antimatter that remains a cornerstone of physics today. Within this groundbreaking contribution to quantum field theory, Oppenheimer and Furry address the theoretical challenges posed by Paul Dirac's relativistic electron equation and the recent experimental discovery of the positron by Carl Anderson in 1932. The authors develop a symmetric treatment of electrons and positrons within the framework of the Dirac equation, moving beyond earlier approaches that treated positrons merely as "holes" in a filled electron sea. Their work establishes the theoretical foundation for understanding particle-antiparticle pairs as fundamental constituents of quantum field theory, with both particles accorded equal theoretical status rather than one being viewed as the absence of the other. This contribution proved essential for the subsequent development of quantum electrodynamics, as it provided the mathematical framework for treating creation and annihilation processes involving electron-positron pairs. Oppenheimer's significant contributions to theoretical physics during the 1930s, prior to his involvement in the Manhattan Project, are illustrated here, demonstrating the rapid theoretical response to experimental discoveries that characterized the golden age of quantum mechanics.
