Description: Paris: Aost and Gentil , 1891. 20 full-page lithographed and 2 photographic plates. Original cloth-backed printed boards (some light stains). In excellent condition. First edition of this advertising portfolio for hospital installations. Flicoteaux and Co. was a Parisian construction firm that specialized in outfitting laboratories, infirmaries, and hospitals. Here the company exhibits their recent work (1885-1891) in operating rooms across France. The schematic drawings illustrate plumbing and drainage systems, ventilation, storage for medical equipment, beds, sinks, filtration apparati, heating and cooling, and hospital layouts, all to scale. The final two photographic plates show finished operating rooms at the Chartres and Necker hospitals. All the plates name the hospital in which the installation took place, and many include the name of the architect who designed the room and the specific surgeon who commissioned the work. OCLC locates no copies of this first edition and only two copies in the U.S. of a later edition (NYAM and Rochester). Index to French Production 1918 p. 122.

Seller: Brian Cassidy Bookseller at Type Punch Matrix (United States)
ISBN: 9780704332300
Condition: Near fine.
Description: London: Quartet Books, 1978. First printing. Near fine.. First edition of this quasi-anthropological, excruciatingly arch, but nevertheless legendary photobook study of punks: their habitat, dress, and curious manners. Exceptional street photographs of punks, famous and non-famous alike, juxtaposed with comparison images of what Hennessy calls "primitive peoples resplendent in their ritual adornments" (allegedly the inspiration for the project) accompanied by frenzied '70s-journalist commentary and copious quotes from the punks themselves. Scarce. An essential document of UK punk. 10'' x 6''. Original color pictorial wraps. 94 pages. Photographically illustrated throughout. Touches of toning, rubbing, edgewear. Overall clean and sound.
