Title: Catalogue du Cabinet de Feu… Par F. L. Regnault Delalande…[18-20 January 1809]
Author: (AUCTION CATALOGUE: BELLE, Clément Louis Marie Anne)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Imperial coat-of-arms vignette on title. xii, 28 pp. 8vo (215 x 132 mm.), late 19th-century blue sheep backed-marbled boards (upper & lower joints split but holding), title on spine. Paris: L’Auteur, 1809. The large-paper version of this unusually finely printed auction catalogue detailing the personal collection of a history painter who was reçu by the Académie Royale in 1761. Belle (1722-1806), a pupil of François Lemoyne, worked at the Gobelins manufactory from 1755, where he adapted pictures by his contemporaries as well as his own designs into painted tapestry cartoons. His lengthy career saw him commissioned by the Comte d’Angiviller to design a tapestry triptych in celebration of the Palais de Justice; subsequently, Revolutionary officials requested that he transform the triptych into Republican allegories. The resulting canvases, Allegory of the Republic and Allegory of the Revolution (now Louvre), “display the classicizing yet dynamic characteristics that Belle could achieve in his compositions”–Oxford Art Online. Regnault-Delalande (1762-1824), this auction’s expert, provides an insightful biographical notice for Belle at the beginning of the catalogue. Most collectors whose collections were entrusted to Regnault-Delalande at this time did not have the honor of such lengthy biographies in auction catalogues. The present catalogue is also well-printed on large and fine wove paper. Another edition of this catalogue, on mediocre paper, was issued without the title-page vignette and opening biography. 181 lots of paintings, drawings, prints, books, and curiosities. It describes paintings by A. S. Belle (the artist’s father), Belle himself, Chardin, Guercino, C. de la Fosse, La Hyre, Le Brun, F. Lemoyne, Mignard, J. & C. Parrocel, Subleyras, Vien, etc. We also find drawings by Michelangelo, Drouais, L. Giordano, Maratti, Raphael, Parmigianino, etc.; and prints by Piranesi, Peyron, S. Bourdon, Edelinck, Earlom, Ingouf, Jordaens, Lairesse, Le Clerc, Strange, etc. Among the books, there is Piranesi’s Opere Varie (1750), the important works on perspective and art history, and the 1561 French edition of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. A fine copy of this exceptionally well-produced auction catalogue. With the engraved bookplate of G[eorges] P[annier] (1853-1944), art dealer and collector of early art auction catalogues with his twin Henry, on the inside of the upper cover, and the stamp of the Bbliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 7504. Oxford Art Online. C. Blanc, Le Trésor de la curiositè… (1857-8), Vol. II, pp. 249-50.

Title: White Male Power : Senators, Game Show Hosts, National Monuments, Clergy, etc.
Author: Glier, Mike
Seller: Arthur Fournier Fine & Rare (United States)
Description: Twelve offset lithographic poster prints on commercial stock, each one showing a darkly satirical vision of white male privilege and its abuses as reflected by American popular culture of the era. Folio. Near fine. Loose as issued in a folded cardstock portfolio. [465] Glier's portfolio featured in The Ritz Hotel Project, a collaborative exhibition organized by COLAB group in conjunction with the D.C.-based Washington Project for the Arts. The groups hoped to produce an event similar to COLAB's notorious Times Square Show (1980), meaning to provoke a greater consciousness of the political potentials of visual art in the nation's capital. Participating artists broke into a dilapidated building at 920 F St. where they turned the abandoned hotel into a temporary museum. After a two-week run, District officials succeeded in closing the show for safety violations, and condemned the property.

Title: Building for the Children in the South
Author: Rev A.D. Mayo
Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Description: Washington D.C.: Bureau of Education, 1884. 16 pages, paper wrappings. Mayo's main topic in this booklet is about providing the structural needs and means for establishing quality education for all. He believes that taxation should be used in order to truly support public schools, and that it is a priority. Teachers also should be of good quality and educated in the profession in order to make schooling effective. In this address he makes it very clear that he truly believes that a good, solid education for everyone could improve not only the children's future, but the future of the country as a whole. As soon as the south started to implement his teachings that they would find their region becomes better for it. It is broken up into several subjects, such as "The Awakening of the People", "Local Taxation for Education" "National Aid for Education" and "The Free Library". Addressing aspects of his vision of a better American education system, Mayo believes he found the solution for the south. Although in segregated schools the need for higher education for African American children was emphasized as well. Measures 9" x 5 3/4". The Department of the Interior for the Bureau of Education felt that the information that Rev A.D. Mayo was both gathering and discussing, especially with his concentration of education in south, this publication would be a beneficial read and a useful resource.
