Title: [Photo Album of Exceptional Images of World War I Featuring the First Use of Tanks in Warfare]
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: France, 1918. Very good. 9" x 12". Rivet bound, quarter leather over buckram with stiff card leaves. 104 pages with 108 photographs adhesive mounted. All but four measure 6" x 8" and all are captioned. Album very good with moderate wear and a few leaves which are partially detached; photos near fine or better. This is an extraordinary album documenting the British Expeditionary Force in France in World War I. It focuses on operations in the Somme and Flanders and is filled with gritty and vivid images of battles and their aftermaths. This professionally produced album has exceptionally well composed images with detailed captions written in a neat hand. Internal evidence suggests the album was created by a member of the Tank Corps: there are several images of tanks, one of which is dated September 15, 1916 with the caption "one of the first tanks." It's well documented that the first use of tanks in combat was on that date at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette. One photo shows a soldier with the mascot (a dog) for the tank corps and an amazing action shot reads "tank covering infantry advance with smoke screen." The first 48 photographs were taken in the Somme region of France dating from July 1916 to March 1917. There are images of destruction and stark landscapes in Fricourt, Mametz, Montauban, Trones Wood, Guillemont, Delville Wood, Dernancourt, High Wood, Longueval, Bernafay Wood, Flers, Theipval Chateau, Martinpuich, Combles, Pozieres. Many photos show soldiers in trenches cooking, digging, taking positions, resting and clearing debris. We see soldiers clearing roads, howitzers on the move and being fired in Carnoy, a destroyed church in the city of Albert, and several other piles of rubble that used to be churches as well. One shot shows prisoners of war marching along a trench, another shows a nissen hut camp along the Somme Front, and a third has the caption "joining up shell-holes to form trench." The second half of the album covers March 1917 to April 1918. There are images of destruction in Ligny-Thilloy and several show utterly devastated areas around Bapaume, Peronne, Arras, and Cloth Hall. Several show the BEF in Bethune, one photo shows Howitzers in action at Neuville Vitasse, and there are several other action shots involving heavy artillery. Many photos show the Flanders area including one showing men milling about the Flanders battlefield and a several include the caption "Flanders Battlefield." Remarkable and captivating images featuring the first use of tanks in warfare.

Title: Photo Album Documenting the Fifth-Ever General Meet of the American Canoe Association
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Description: Croton Point, New York, 1894. 13½" x 10¼". Full original black morocco, rivet bound, spine rebacked to style and rivets renewed. 23 leaves interleaved with tissue, each with a 6½" x 8½" albumen photograph adhesive mounted recto only; four additional leaves with news clippings inserted into mylar sleeves. Photos generally near fine or better. Album is fine: some restoration to board edges, endpapers renewed; four new leaves inserted at front for news clippings. Leaves very good with toning, and occasional, chipping at edges. The American Canoe Association was founded in 1880 by 15 avid canoeists. Today, the organization boasts over 30,000 members and this photo album documents its fifth-ever general meet (and its 14th overall) held along the Hudson River. Canoeists made camp at Croton Point on its northwestern side facing Haverstraw Bay, from July 13 to July 28, 1894. A number of newspapers reported on the event with headlines such as "Preparations made . . . in a blaze of sun and glory-Dainty crafts that will speed over the rippling courses on the Hudson." Participants competed in 20 events, and, as this album and contemporary news accounts show, had a hell of a good time. In previous meets, those who didn't want to cook for themselves could join a mess, but this year, according to one report, "each club hired a colored cook, who mixed the ingredients of indigestion"--one of these cooks can be seen in a group shot blowing a horn. Another great camp shot shows a group of men around a pile of bottles (which we assume used to contain alcohol) all hamming for the camera: one is playing a guitar, another is forcing a man to drink, one is pouring himself a drink, and two men lurk at the side, dressed as Sherlock Holmes. Although women stayed at a separate camp (apparently one of them broke through and was taught how to canoe) they are shown in several group shots. Several images taken on the water including a race with sails, one shows the beach with canoes strewn about, another looks at the beach from a distance. There's also a great shot of the Knickerbocker Canoe Club and the Ianthe Canoe Club of Newark's tent compound. Two photos show the firing of the camp cannon; one up close, the other from a distance shows a just-fired canon beneath two flag poles with six club flags. The formal opening of the camp was delayed until July 14th because they had neither the canon ammunition, nor all the club flags. Each club had its own particular flag and totem and a group shot in front of the headquarters shows men wearing club sweaters with the totems: one a bat, another a sea horse (likely the Knickerbocker Club of New York), and two with a left point arrow inside a left-pointing flag. Outstanding, and possibly the only surviving, images of an important event at the dawn of organized canoeing. This item is offered by Langdon Manor Books, LLC, antiquarian booksellers.

Author: JOHNSON Samuel
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1771. First Edition. [JOHNSON, Samuel]. Thoughts on the Late Transactions Respecting Falkland's Islands. London: T. Cadell, 1771. Slim octavo, period-style half brown calf gilt, red morocco spine label, marbled boards; pp. 75. $1100.First edition, second state (as usual), of the second of Johnson's anonymously published political pamphlets from the 1770s, a timely anti-war tract on the Falkland's crisis that placed England and Spain on the edge of war.""The decision to write these [political] pamphlets was perhaps the most purely surprising of Johnson's life. For at least ten years he had been on a pedestal as the great lexicographer and moralist, the lawgiver on letters and on experience, above every conceivable battle. Now, suddenly, he descended into the arena and began laying about him Quite probably a large part of the motivation was sheer enjoyment, the love of a free-for-all. Controversy, after all, is quite enjoyable, to write as well as to tread Certainly, if the pamphlets of the 1770s had never been written, we should lack some of his most vigorous and exhilarating prose In Johnson's time and for a hundred years afterward, England was never free of a strong lobby who wanted military and naval action as a means of guaranteeing trade routes and opening up markets. Johnson, sickened at the thought of war and what it does to its victims, detested the warmongering profiteer and attacked him in some pages of invective that put Thoughts on Falkland's Islands in a direct line with the anti-war literature of the 1920s"" (Wain, Samuel Johnson, 281-82). Of the first edition, 1000 copies were printed in early March, 1771, for March 16 publication. However, the ministry of Lord North halted the sale and required the removal of an allusion to Grenville on page 68 (leaf K2). Several copies were known, however, to escape this censorship. This copy second state, with leaf K2 a cancel with the revised (somewhat more charitable) text on Grenville (page 68): ""if he sometime erred, he was likewise sometimes right."" With scarce half title. Fleeman's 71.3FI/1b. Courtney & Smith, 115-16. A fine copy, handsomely bound.

Cover Title. COVER READS "Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas" A Mexican monthly art magazine that covers subjects ranging from pre-Colombian art, Mexican muralism, and graphic arts. The slogan of the magazine is "por un arte al servicio del pueblo." The Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas (FNAP) was a collective of artists founded in 1952, during the "crossing" between two adverse aesthetic art movements: the realism of the so-called Mexican School of Painting and what has been called the "Ruptura" (Rupture). The magazines Artes de México and Artes Plásticas, which were founded at the initiative of the FNAP, were fundamental for the dissemination of the FNAP political, social and artistic ideologies with a marked tendency to the left. Artes Plásticas, which indicated in its cover logo its membership of the FNAP, was the first to be published, with a monthly periodicity. Printed on modest paper, it was released towards the end of October 1952. Their editorial line was nationalist, understood as the preservation and dissemination of everything they considered heritage and a product of the Mexican Revolution. This issue includes a beautiful full-page engraving of Francisco Madero by the artist Angel Zamarripa. Founders and participants include: Francisco Goitia (Secretaria General), Ignacio Aguirre, Ana Mérida, Raul Anguiano.

CHARLES BENEDICT DAVENPORT (1866 – 1944) became one of the most prominent American biologists of his time, pioneering new quantitative standards of taxonomy. His father had a significant influence on his early career, as he encouraged Charles to become an engineer. In 1888 Davenport rebelled against his father and enrolled in the Harvard zoology program. Initially he joined in the general interest in invertebrate embryology, with particular attention-appropriately-on the development of individuality. He graduated with a Bachelor's after two years, and earned a Ph.D in biology in 1892. His first faculty position was as a professor of zoology at Harvard. He summered in Woods Hole (at the Fish Commission) and in Newport, and he pursued a variety of projects, culminating in his encyclopedic Experimental Morphology (offered here) in the late 1890s. From 1899 to 1904 Davenport taught at the University of Chicago. In 1904, he became director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and founded the Eugenics Record Office there in 1910. His 1911 book, Heredity in Relation to Eugenics, was used as a college textbook for many years. Davenport was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1907, and to the National Academy of Sciences in 1912. In 1921 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. PROVENANCE: JAMES WALKER WILSON (1896-1969) entered Brown in 1914 and studied biology under Professor Albert D. Mead. He graduated in 1918, spent a year in the army, and returned to Brown as a graduate student in biochemistry under Professor Philip H. Mitchell. His dissertation topic for his Ph.D. degree in 1921 was Contributions to the Biochemistry of Vitamin A. The same year he was appointed instructor in biology for one year to teach Professor Herbert E. Walter's courses while Walter was on leave. He ended up staying for forty years. He introduced a new course called "experimental morphogenesis," and did research on regeneration in flatworms. By 1936 he was recognized for developing a technique in kidney research, a perfusion apparatus which circulated synthetic blood through rabbit kidneys. In 1945 he became chairman of the Department of Biology and Frank L. Day Professor of Biology. He served as chairman until 1960.

Olive cloth, gilt titles and decorations on spine, color illustration with cream titles on front board. Frontispiece and plates by Alice Barber Stephens. An attractively illustrated edition of Alcott's classic novel. "Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888), which was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. Alcott wrote the books over several months at the request of her publisher.[1][2] Following the lives of the four March sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - the novel details their passage from childhood to womanhood and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters.[3][4]:202 Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success with readers demanding to know more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume (entitled Good Wives in the United Kingdom, although this name originated from the publisher and not from Alcott). It was also successful. The two volumes were issued in 1880 as a single novel entitled Little Women. Alcott wrote two sequels to her popular work, both of which also featured the March sisters: Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Although Little Women was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls. The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity."[5]:200 Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well".[6]:34 According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.[5]:199 The book has been adapted for cinema; twice as silent film and four times with sound in 1933, 1949, 1978 and 1994. Six television series were made, including four by the BBC - 1950, 1958, 1970 and 2017. Two anime series were made in Japan during the 1980s. A musical version opened on Broadway in 2005. An American opera version in 1998 has been performed internationally and filmed for broadcast on US television in 2001.
