Title: Les Enfants Trouvés de Magritte
Author: MAGRITTE, RENÉ; SCUTENAIRE, LOUIS
Seller: The Manhattan Rare Book Company (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Paris: A.C. Mazo et Cie, 1968. First edition. Original portfolio box. Fine. VERY RARE LIMITED EDITION OF SURREALIST MASTER RENÉ MAGRITTE'S LES ENFANTS TROUVÉS, COMPLETE WITH TWELVE BREATHTAKING LITHOGRAPHS. ONE OF ONLY 350 COPIES. "The art of René Magritte has had an influence far exceeding the confines of the art world. Imagery adapted from his paintings has been widely disseminated for more than half a century through advertising, cartoons, film, book jackets, and popular music... His work has continued to appeal to modern audiences hungry for the puzzling conjunctions of the everyday and the fantastic... The inscrutable nature of Magritte's work--coded, self-referential, and incongruous--has [moreover] intrigued several generations of artists," (Stephanie Barron). The first four illustrations (numbered recto) are magnificently unique, conceived by Magritte specifically for this production. While certainly distinctive, these images--as well as the final eight--represent a summary of his favorite ideas and symbols, many taken from recent pictures: the clouds, female torsos, and birds, to name a few. Eight following illustrations were originally created by Magritte for his mural "The Enchanted Domain". An awing 360-degree eight-panel mural, the masterpiece was painted to fulfill a commission by Gustave J. Nellens, owner of the Casino Communal at Knokke-Le-Zoute in Belgium. A massive undertaking for a famously reclusive artist, Magritte commented: "When asked to devise a series of pictures for the walls of a Casino gaming room, I did not think along the lines expected of me... My intention is to offer an artistic spectacle of some significance, and convey a hitherto unknown feeling, a feeling in keeping with the attitude appropriate to a person living in the universe," (Elle, 1953). Nellens himself amassed quite a significant amount of Magritte art; his collection of paintings and lithographs is, even today, unparalleled. Accompanying poem (in French) by Louis Scutenaire, a poet, close confidant of Magritte, and central figure of the Belgian Surrealist movement. A.C Mazo et Cie: Paris, 1968. Complete set of twelve color lithographs on Velin d'Arches (with corresponding text), each lithograph initialed in pencil by the printer Fernand Mourlot, signed on the stone "Magritte" lower right. Oversize folio (46x62 cm). Encased in original illustrated cloth-covered folding box; loose (as issued). Numbered 312/350 on the colophon. Small indentation at box edge. "Une Jeune Femme Présente Avec Grace" with small spot of soiling at extreme corner far away from image; "Les Claires-Voies d'un Jeune Regard Embaument La Fête d'un Vieil Arbre" with hairline scratch (only visible upon close inspection). THE COMPLETE PORTFOLIO IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION: RARE.

Title: Elementary Treatise on natural philosophy
Author: PRIVAT-DESCHANEL, A.
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Blackie & Son, 1872. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. Consecutive pagination with half-title, errata, 3 colored plates and a map, as well as hundreds of text illustrations. Contemporary half-calf over marbled boards; matching marbled endpapers and edges; covers lightly scuffed but generally an excellent copy from the library of George A[lexander] P[hilips] H[aldane] Duncan, Earl of Camperdown, avid book collector, with his bookplate containing his coat of arms and motto (Disce pati [learn to suffer]). First English edition, considered one of the best works on physics of the time. Detailed chapters on mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism, acoustics, optics, and much more. Each subject includes a discussion of all the great scientists and their experiments, the methods they employed, any imperfections and variations by other scientists, and the solutions as far as the latest investigations known. Most of the subjects have been enlarged with extensive additions by the editor such as thermodynamics and electrical subjects by William Thomson and Michael Faraday, which had not as yet been established in France. Privat-Deschanel (1821-1883) was a professor of physical sciences at Limoges, Lyon, Versailles and later at Lycee Louis-le-Grand, where he was headmaster. According to Everett’s preface, “this treatise is remarkable for the vigour of its style, which specially commends it as a book for private reading. But its leading excellence, as compared with the best works at present in use, is the thoroughly rational character of the information which it presents.”.
