Description
Mostly Los Angeles, 1939. Oblong quarto, containing 117 photographs. Sixty-two of the photographs involve motorcycles directly, either action shots or posed shots in attire, with many others showing scenery from motorcycle tours. Some photographs missing, those present are in excellent condition with fine contrast, very good condition overall. Very Good. A charming album documenting the lives of a couple from California and their love of motorcycle touring and racing in the late 1930s, uncommon for the many pictures of women in motorcycle clothing that are included. Some of the photographs document travels, some in the west such as the Boulder Dam, Arizona, Big Bear Lake, etc., and some at a motorcycle meet in Marion, Indiana. Several photos show a crashed U.S. Army bomber at Miner Field in Inglewood. Several show San Gabriel Canyon on Thanksgiving, 1937, with one showing a portrait of a woman captioned “Drunk Again.” Another shows a national time trial race in San Diego. The photos seem to follow a tight-knit group of friends, with nicknames such as “Little Marvin” and “The Mad Russian.” Overall a charming document of late 1930s motorcycle culture in Los Angeles.

Description
38 pp. 8vo (205 x 133 mm.), self-bound, orig. stitching strengthened with scotch tape. Paris: Clisorius & Sibire, [1814]. A very rare sale catalogue of paintings, drawings, and prints; WorldCat locates no example in North America. The sale was administered by Clisorius (n.d.), a mid-level paintings dealer, whose involvement in art auctions began in March 1802. He held a number of auctions to dissolve the inventory of other art dealers. Inscribed on the copy of the British Library is “de Mr. Lavoisière ancien négociant,” suggesting this was one of those stock sales. The present catalogue describes 289 lots, including pictures by van Dyck, Parrocel, Bruandet, C. Netscher, Largillière, Guido Reni, Porbus, Goltzius, Castiglione, Porbus, A. Brauwer, Bril, etc. The first 248 lots are paintings. Each entry provides a concise description and measurements. Good copy, a little worn with an unfortunate scotch tape repair to the title-page. Stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. Lugt records an example of this catalogue in the collection of Marcel Nicolle, very likely the present copy. ❧ Lugt 8613. For Clisorius’s first sale (Lugt 6384) see B. Fredericksen & B. Peronnet eds., Répertoire des tableaux vendus en France au XIXe siècle, Vol. I, p. 12.
