Description
Leipzig: Brockhaus, 1819. Sickler, Friedrich (1773-1836). Die herculanensischen Handschriften in England und meine, nach erhaltenem Ruf und nach Auftrag der englischen Regierung, im Jahre 1817 zu ihrer Entwickelung gemachten. iv, 115, [1]pp. Folding plate. Leipzig: F. A. Brockhaus, 1819. 203 x 116 mm. 19th-century half cloth, marbled boards, remains of paper label on spine, light edgewear. Minor foxing but a very good, crisp copy. First Edition. In 1816 the King of the Two Sicilies presented twelve heavily charred papyrus scrolls found at Herculaneum to the Prince Regent, George IV. Sickler, a German archeologist, had devised a new method for unrolling the fragile scrolls, and the British government brought him to England and paid to carry out the project. Unfortunately, it appears that Sickler's method consisted of soaking the scrolls in water until they were malleable and unrolling them from there. This method washed away any remnants of ink on the papyrus or caused the layers of the papyrus to crumble, rendering them useless for scholars. Sickler inadvertently destroyed seven of the twelve scrolls, and a Parliamentary committee was established to investigate Sickler's methods. Parliament ended up removing Sickler from the project. After suffering public embarrassment for his failed attempt to unroll the Herculaneum papyrus rolls, Sickler published this work defending his methods and results. The large folding plate includes some of the best early illustrations of the external appearance of the papyrus rolls when they were found. .

Los Angeles / New York: Los Angeles County Museum of Art / Harry N. Abrams, 1997. Hardcover. Fine. Lg. quarto. 432pp. Blind-stamped black cloth with red lettering on spine in original photographic dust jacket. Photographic title-page. "The rise of the Nazis in the 1930s caused an unprecedented upheaval in German art circles, uprooting hundreds of artists from their homeland. As German armies invaded neighboring countries, eventually occupying Paris, the capital of the Western art world, more artists were displaced, making the dislocations of exile and emigration felt throughout the European artistic community...Stephanie Barron of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has gathered eighteen prominent American and European scholars and writers to explore the meaning and consequences of this displacement, concentrating especially on the experiences of the exiles abroad and the receptions they encountered in their host countries. The focus is on twenty-three well-known painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects, including Josef Albers, Max Beckmann, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Walter Gropius, George Grosz, John Heartfield, Wassily Kandinsky, André Kertész, Oskar Kokoschka, Fernand Léger, Jacques Lipchitz, André Masson, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The book includes generous selections that these artists created in exile. Hundreds of documentary photographs - powerfully evoking isolation, bitterness, and uncertainty as well as rejuvenation, assimilation, and professional success - add to an understanding of the exile experience." Images are color & b/w photographic reproductions. Published in conjunction with the exhibition Exiles & Emigrés: The Flight of European Artists from Hitler, which was organized by LACMA.
