Description
Santa Fe, NM: Radius Books. Oblong folio (11-1/2" x 17-1/4"). Pictorial ocean and desert dust jacket (see note below), spine lettered in both black and white, over plain off-white boards with blind stamped spine. Note: the dust jacket has been printed on both sides (ocean and desert) and then folded over to create a wraparound band that illustrates the book's theme. Signed and dated on the half-title by Renate Aller. Donation bookplate of The Hirsch Library on front pastedown, and with the Library's rubber stamp on the title page. Laid in at rear is an (8)pp. folio brochure with thumbnail color photos of this work and their availability to the public. Abstract: This new project by German-born photographer Renate Aller is an extension of the ongoing series and book Oceanscapes (2010). Aller has continued to make images of the ocean from a single vantage point--for which she is internationally known--but for the last several years, she has also photographed sand dunes in New Mexico and Colorado. She has now paired the resulting images in a fascinating new series that continues her investigation into the relationship between romanticism, memory and landscape in the context of our current sociopolitical awareness. There is both a visual and visceral relationship between the two bodies of work. The desert images also capture visitors to the dunes, who engage in beach activities far away from any large body of water. And while these parallel realities are from completely different locations, the simultaneous, multiple activities on the sloping sand hills appears as if layers of different people and activities were choreographed next to rolling waves of the sea. Aller's first combination of these images was in book form, for a mammoth handmade book that was 36 inches wide. The overwhelming success of that publication has inspired this new trade edition, which features the largest binding that can be mechanically bound, and includes an expanded selection of the work. --(OCLC).

Description
London, 1880. Manuscript material. Very Good. Manuscript material. An interesting four page letter written by Justin McCarthy to Joseph Hatton, sent from Westminster Palace Hotel, Victoria Street on 20 December 1880. This appears to be from the Justin McCarthy (1830-1912) who was a member of parliament, journalist, and author, who wrote for many years for the Daily News. Joseph Hatton (1841-1907) was a journalist and novelist who was editor of the Sunday Times from 1874-1881. In the letter, Mr. McCarthy first writes that he is enclosing with pleasure a photograph of himself, but was not able to provide one of Mr. Hill. He tells Hatton that he could get one from the photographer and gives the photograph number. He then goes on to write about Mr. Hill, who was Frank Harrison Hill, a writer and the editor in chief of the London Daily News. from 1870-1886. McCarthy writes ..."you are aware of course that he is the author of that collection of masterly, and I think unrivalled personal studies called "Political Portrais." He is also, there can be no doubt, the author of the "Political Adventures of Lord Beaconssfield" whilc appeard in the Fortnightly Review (, "and" crossed out) He is one of the most accomplished scholars I know and his reading, both in solid and light literature, is very varied. He is a wonderfully good talker with a strong tinge of the sarcastic.... I do not know anyone who has a happier gift of touching off a character in two or three phrases....The number of happy things he has said about people in public life is surprising....He was I believe originally intended for the Church, but I fancy his opinions underwent some change. For a time he became a Unitarian minister, but I presume found that he had no special calling for the work and so gave it up and took to literature.....With kind regards Faithfully Yours Justin McCarthy. Quarto sheet folded. Some light marks not affecting the text on inside recto. Very good condition. ALS/020112.
