Title: Film History Blow Up 1966 Lobby Card Photographs Archive Documenting Antonioni's London and the Collapse of Production Code Era
Author: Michelangelo Antonioni; Blow Up
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1966. Antonioni, Michelangelo (director). Blow-Up, 1966, examines perception, photography, and uncertainty within the cultural landscape of 1960s London, placing a fashion photographer at the center of a narrative involving a possible murder captured unintentionally on film. As Antonioni's first English-language production, the film situates itself within the visual and social environment of the London "mod" scene, integrating fashion, music, and youth culture into its structure. Its treatment of sexuality and ambiguity contributed to the erosion of the Hollywood Production Code and preceded the establishment of the Motion Picture Association of America rating system, marking the film as part of a broader shift in cinematic regulation and content standards. Awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the film occupies a central place in discussions of postwar European art cinema and the changing boundaries of representation. Blow-Up. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer: United States, 1966. Archive of six original promotional photographs issued for theatrical display, ranging in size from approximately 6.5 x 8 to 8.75 x 11 inches, including three color and three black and white prints. Images depict scenes from the film, including interactions between Vanessa Redgrave and David Hemmings and views of Hemmings' Rolls-Royce, emphasizing both character dynamics and the material culture of the London setting. Black and white photographs include production and photography information on the verso, while color prints feature the film title, actor names, and MGM logo along the lower margin. Produced during a period of rapid transformation in film aesthetics and censorship standards, Blow-Up aligns with broader developments in 1960s cinema that prioritized ambiguity, visual experimentation, and contemporary urban life. Its focus on the act of looking and the instability of photographic evidence reflects wider cultural concerns with media, surveillance, and reality during the decade. Promotional materials such as these photographs document how studios presented avant-garde narrative and stylistic elements to mainstream audiences, bridging commercial exhibition and art cinema discourse. Minor handling wear, with one photograph showing faint pinholes; overall very good to excellent condition.

Title: J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens; Retold by May Bryon for Little People with the Permission of the Author
Author: Barrie, J.M. (Original Story); Byron, May ("Retold By"); Rackham, Arthur (Illustrator)
Seller: Swan's Fine Books (United States)
Condition: Near fine
Description: London: Hodder and Stoughton Limited, 1929. Hardcover. Near fine/very good +. Rackham, Arthur. Octavo size, 123 pp. With Ex-Libris of J.M. Barrie which apparently is not unique, there being one other copy online as of this writing with the same plate. The ink looks genuine but the signatures are the same; interestingly, the library bookplates are tipped onto different pages. We can come up with several scenarios for the existence of these bookplates, but since the bibliographies are silent on it we cannot state anything with certitude. Mary Clarissa "May" Byron (1861-1936) was an author in her own right, but was best known for her abridgements of J.M. Barrie's works for children. This work, with six full-colour plates and fifteen black and white illustrations, all by Arthur Rackham, was an excellent gift for young readers. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), born into a "typical middle-class Victorian family showed an aptitude for drawing from an early age, especially with 'fantastic' subjects. In the autumn of 1884 he enrolled in the Lambeth School for Art; upon graduation, he began working on his illustrations part-time, submitting them to various periodicals and publishers, while working as a clerk. Success found him in 1905 with the publication of his 'Rip Van Winkle', which decisively established Rackham as the leading decorative illustrator of the Edwardian period. His work remained popular and highly sought for decades, through his final illustrated book, 'The Wind in the Willows, completed just a year before his death in 1939 (n.b., above quotes from Derek Hudson, "Arthur Rackham, His Life and Work"). However important "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Wind in the Willows" are, it is perhaps for his depictions of Peter Pan that Rackham remains most remembered, and this book, geared towards children, is a delight and a joy. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in green cloth with dark green lettering on the front and spine, dark green vignette of Peter Pan after the illustration on the dust jacket, front endpapers only have half-page map in black and white of "Peter Pan's Map of Kensington Gardens", the verso of the front free endpaper has the bookplate of J. M. Barrie (as referred to above, likely not his original hand), frontispiece is a coloured illustration by Rackham of "Peter Pan is the Fairies' Orchestra" (plate not included in the book), title page vignette of Peter Pan (the same image as on the front board), volume not dated, printed in 1929 per the bibliographies; six illustrations in colour, fifteen other illustrations in black-and-white, all by Rackham, octavo size (8" by 5.75"), pagination: [i-iv], v- [viii], 9-123. Lovely pictorial dust jacket with the full colour illustration of Peter Pan referred to above, lettering in red and green on the front panel and black on the spine, black and white illustrated rear panel listing the three May Byron re-tellings of Peter Pan, this title being the last listed; price of 2/6 on the spine. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the binding clean and the green lettering deep, the corners straight and unrubbed, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, clean pages, the "Barrie" bookplate is in fine condition, and the volume is entirely free of prior owner markings; some foxing to the top edge of the text block and a couple of light marks to the bottom edge, some mild offsetting to the endpapers, else fine. The unclipped dust jacket is very good plus with some mild edgewear, most noticeably to the head of the spine (no loss to text) and some light dustiness. ___CITATION: Latimore & Haskell, pp. 65-66; Riall p. 168. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
