Title: Country Houses: The Work of Frank J. Forster A.I.A.
Author: Forster, Frank J.
Seller: Bernett Rare Books Inc (United States)
Description: 4 pp. introductory text by Forster on the style of his work which he calls Norman Farmhouse, French Provincial, or Domestic Gothic, followed by list of plates and 183 full-page plates from photographs and woodcut drawings, including façades, floor plans, interior views, and sketches covering 16 private residences designed by Forster in Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Texas, including entrance courts, stair towers, gables, balconies, sleeping porches, pigeon towers, conservatories, fireplaces, bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, great halls, terraces, and gardens. 4to. Maroon cloth boards with gilt-stamped title. Very slight rubbing to corners and edges of spine. New York (William Helburn) 1931. Frank J. Forster's earliest designs were in an English picturesque style, but after 1924 he became the nation's leading exponent of rustic farmhouse-style buildings he had seen on his trips through the French countryside. Forster's work is the basis for the majority of French country-inspired architecture in the United States after World War II, particularly later in the 20th century. Most of the houses he designed were located in the suburban environs of Connecticut, Westchester County, Long Island, and Pennsylvania. This monograph is the iconographic work showcasing his designs through photographs and floor plans.

Title: Vietnam War Social History Photo Archive Showing Civilian Displacement, Military Presence, and Rural Life
Author: War and Vietnamese Civilians
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1960. Vietnam War press photographs dating from the 1960s through the 1970s document the impact of prolonged conflict on civilian populations in Vietnam. The war involved sustained military operations by North Vietnamese forces, the South Vietnamese government, and the United States military, producing widespread destruction and displacement throughout the country. Photographs of the period frequently recorded both military activity and the experiences of civilians living amid warfare, including refugees, religious protest movements, and the persistence of daily life within rural communities affected by the conflict. Archive contains twenty four silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 5 × 7 inches to 11 × 14 inches. Many are press photographs retaining original captions or newsprint text printed on the margins or attached to the verso. The images depict a range of wartime scenes including civilians fleeing areas of violence, orphaned children, and families displaced by fighting. Several photographs document Buddhist religious protests including monks and nuns participating in hunger strikes, one image showing a temple interior filled with nuns lying on floor mats during the demonstration. Other images record street confrontations in Saigon with demonstrators throwing stones at South Vietnamese riot police. Military scenes show soldiers from the three principal armed forces involved in the conflict. One photograph depicts a young woman of the People's Army of Vietnam carrying a firearm while dragging wreckage from a United States aircraft along a shoreline. Another image shows a North Vietnamese soldier walking with two women transporting supplies while carrying a sign recruiting volunteers to the People's Army. Additional photographs show American forces arriving in Da Nang and evacuating novice monks from a pagoda near Saigon during nearby air operations. Several photographs also record everyday activities in rural regions during wartime. Scenes include a man riding an elephant through a village of thatched houses, fishermen casting nets in the Mekong Delta, and women wearing rice hats cycling along rural roads. Other images show agricultural or volunteer labor activities associated with wartime mobilization, including groups of Vietnamese volunteers working at a military installation while wearing identification badges. Press photographs of this kind circulated widely in newspapers and magazines and played an important role in shaping international public understanding of the Vietnam War and its humanitarian consequences. Minor edge wear and occasional editorial markings appear on some prints while the photographic images remain clear. Very good condition overall and a compelling visual record of civilian and military experiences during the Vietnam War.

Title: FOUR QUARTETS
Author: Eliot, T.S.
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1944. London: Faber and Faber, (1944). Original tan cloth, with dust jacket. First English Collected Edition -- of what Cyril Connolly called "the most important poem since Yeats's THE TOWER and, as many think, of the century." The four pieces ("Burnt Norton," "East Coker," "The Dry Salvages" and "Little Gidding") had all been pamphlets issued separately in the UK in 1940-1942; however, per this dust jacket, "The author... has always intended them to be published as one volume, and to be judged as a single work." (The American collected edition was published in 1943, but due to unskilled wartime labor, many page margins were incorrect -- so all but 788 copies (to preserve copyright) were destroyed.) This is a fine copy (light foxing on the endpapers); the price-clipped jacket is nearly fine as well (no wear, but again some light foxing). Gallup A43b; Connolly Modern Movement 92.
