Title: [Large Group of Over 200 Images Taken and Collected by an American Aid Worker During World War I]
Author: [World War I Photographica]. Tolman, William H.
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [Various locations in Europe, mostly France, 1918. Very good.. 206 original black-and-white photographs, between 3.5 x 2.5 inches and 5 x 7 inches. Occasional minor wear, light chipping, or short tears to images, but most are in very good or better condition. An informative collection of contemporary photographs detailing the impact of the First World War in France. The images include numerous images showing the destruction of the war across France, some casualties of the war, group portraits of military officers and politicians, street scenes and parade shots picturing dignitaries and military figures (often in motorized vehicles but sometimes on horseback or on foot), scenes along railroad lines, scenes in factories both functional and bombed out, numerous shots featuring the architecture and statuary in France, street scenes in numerous French towns and villages, and much more. A handful of small groups of images are held within a single sheet of paper identifying a common location or shared subject matter, such as a pair of images from Saint-Quentin (including a photo of a group of German prisoners at a rail station there), seven images of flowers in Toulouse, several images in Amiens including street scenes and a few with military content, numerous images in Reims and Verdun, three images documenting the destruction in Noyon, and so forth. In addition to the war content, the collection provides a broad view of the urban architecture and variety of landscape in World War I-era France, among other research-worthy topics. Particularly interesting images feature a group of women busily writing dispatches, a larger group of women working in a textile factory, the statue of Joan of Arc in Reims, soldiers cutting vegetables outside the citadel at Verdun, the ruins of Sainte-Genevieve, a town scene in the village of St. Martin, a large group of men repairing the railroad, an elderly woman standing below a bombed-out elevated railroad in Charleville, and a crowded street scene and parade in Reichshoffen. Two images feature soldiers and resident of Reims rescuing large framed paintings from the Hôtel de Ville; both images feature men carrying a single large painting down the cobblestoned streets of the city. In addition to the images featuring human subjects and scenery, four photographs memorialize signage the photographer came across in his time in Europe. One concerns the evacuation of a town in France in April 1916, another informs the French public that German soldiers are only allowed to pay for goods with certain vouchers, the third sign lists the officials responsible for railway security in Noyon, dated October 8, 1916, and the last pictures a British Red Cross poster. The collection is rounded out by a handful of images in Sweden, England, and Egypt. The photographs are occasionally annotated on the verso in pencil, identifying the subject, location, and/or the setting of the images. Several of the images include a personal stamp on the verso belonging to William H. Tolman, Ph.D. of Pawtucket, Rhode Island and New York City. According to newspaper records, Dr. William H. Tolman (1861-1958) was a "social economist" and "social service expert, lecturer and writer" who graduated from Brown University, was an active citizen of Pawtucket, was decorated by the regent of Hungary for creating a chapter of the YMCA in that country, and while in New York City, founded and served as the director of the American Museum of Safety and Sanitation, from which he resigned in 1916. From about that year to 1920, Tolman engaged in welfare work in Europe, and served as director of the YMCA in Bordeaux, France, spurring his personal interest in France and the First World War. A fascinating group of photographs documenting numerous scenes during the First World War.

Title: ALEX KATZ COLLAGES
Author: Cohen, David; Katz, Alex
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
ISBN: 9780972848459
Condition: Near fine.
Description: (Waterville, ME): (Colby College Museum of Art), 2005. First printing. Near fine.. First edition of this handsomely illustrated catalogue, inscribed with thanks by Katz to poet Kenward Elmslie, a lender to the exhibition and a friend and subject of the artist. The majority of Katz's collages date from 1954-1960, belonging to an experimental period in the artist's long career and capturing drama on a small scale: "Their size is intimate but the scale is vast," Frank O'Hara wrote. Their delicacy and "feminine" (so-called) palette, Cohen writes, was taken as a deliberate provocation by Provincetown's roving hordes of hostile Abstract Expressionists, "which to a considerable extent they were." After this half-decade of exploration, Katz made a decisive pivot to contemporary portraiture, a mode which later produced his collaborative "Face of the Poet" project with Ted Berrigan, Gerald Malanga, John Godfrey, Ted Greenwald, Michael Lally, Ann Lauterbach, Alice Notley, John Perreault, Carter Ratcliff, Rene Ricard, Peter Schjeldahl, Tony Towle, Bill Zavatsky, and Kenward Elmslie, to whom this copy is inscribed. A warm and intimate association. 8.25 x 9.25''. Original pictorial boards. No jacket, as issued. Blue endpapers. 179, [1] pages. Inscribed by Alex Katz on half-title page: "Hey Kenward, Many thanks for the loan. best wishes, Alex 12.20.05." Minor bumping and edgewear.

Title: Ten Days in Japan. For the Canadian Pacific
Author: Lum, Berll (Bertha Lum)
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Canada: [Candian Pacific Railway], 1930. First edition. Very Good. Publisher's color-printed orange paper wrappers. Wrappers professionally strengthened at spine. Some chipping to edges. A clean, fresh copy. Very good. Illustrated throughout by Bertha Lum, including ten full-page illustrations (two in color) and lively color-printed pictorial endpapers. This Japanese travel itinerary aims to "give the most important and interesting things to see in ten days," including shrines, gardens, and wrestling matches. Lum (1869 - 1954) was an illustrator, printer, and silkscreen artist who was influenced by Japanese and Chinese art throughout her career. Educated at the Art Institute of Chicago, Lum first traveled to Japan on her honeymoon in 1903, where she learned the basics of the traditional Japanese ukiyo-e printing method; after that introduction, she became "fascinated by Japanese prints and caught up in the arts and crafts movement" (Gravalos, Bertha Lum biography). Her art found success in Japan, where she was the only female artist to exhibit at the Tokyo International Exhibition in 1912, and in California, where her work was exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1920 (she later lived in Los Angeles from 1924-27). Contemporary reviewers called Lum's work "never imitative, but fresh and individual" and praised the way she innovated stylistically with traditional techniques (Wright, "Bertha Lum's Wood-Block Prints," 1923). Lum produced most of her work between 1900 and 1936, about the same time that Frank Lloyd Wright began to collect and deal in ukiyo-e prints. Lum published illustrated books and contributed artwork to periodicals including Good Housekeeping. Based on her experiences living in Beijing for two years, the Canadian Pacific Railway also commissioned her to write a similar travel book on the area. She was a member of the California Society of Printmakers and a Master Craftsman of the Boston-based Society of Arts and Crafts. This is a rare item. OCLC records only one copy (Cleveland PL). Very Good.

Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: Los Angeles: California Laboratory Supply Co., 1937. 1937 RARE COMPLETE SET OF OVER 100 PHOTOGRAPHIC STEREOSCOPE CARDS ILLUSTRATING EMBRYOLOGY OF THE CHICK, WITH OPTICAL VIEWER. Printed card with Table of Contents and 113 photographic stereoscope cards (printed card, plate cards 1-109, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, plate cards 110-113, 4 x 6 inches, in original blue paper-covered box with gilt title to side, folding stereoscopic viewer with steel frame and glass lenses, printed illustrated instructions for use. Also enclosed is a "sample copy" of "one of a set of 10 photographs of dissections of the 15-day rat embryo. Surface wear to box, but intact without repairs; complete and very good. JOSEPH ABRAHAM LONG (1879-1953) had a remarkably long association with the University of California: forty-five years. He joined the faculty in Zoology as an Instructor in 1908, immediately after the completion of his doctor's degree at Harvard University. Long's major teaching effort was in embryology; he organized and developed courses in general vertebrate and advanced mammalian morphogenesis. His widely known atlases of chick and rat development, co-authored with his associate, Dr. Paul L. Burlingame, represent a major contribution to instruction in developmental anatomy. These labelled stereoscopic photographs of beautifully prepared specimens--whole mounts, India-ink-injected embryos, and microscopic dissections--greatly facilitate the students' understanding of structural relationships in the vertebrate embryo by providing striking and illuminating three-dimensional views of the unfolding, ever changing morphogenic patterns. Professor Long was a master technician, skilled in the preparation of biological material for microscopic study. A few examples of Long's inventiveness may be cited: a unique method for dissecting embryos by means of electrically operated knives made from slivers of razor blades, and by needles held and delicately controlled by a system of levers; a complete photographic assembly (inclined camera, illuminator, specimen holder, etc.) for making stereoscopic photomicrographs of dissected embryos; and a remarkably complex organ-culture apparatus with mechanical heart, reservoirs, filters, and aerators. The investigations with Professor Evans on the estrous cycle of the rat are classic, and culminated in 1922 in a volume in the University of California Memoirs. This monograph has been basic to many researches throughout the world in embryology, histology, endocrinology, and reproductive physiology. The Long-Evans strain of rats, now used in many laboratories, is another legacy--a living one--of that fruitful collaboration.
