Description
Paris: apud Gasparum Meturas, 1648. Riolan, Jean (1577-1657). Encheiridium anatomicum, et pathologicum, in quo ex naturali constitutione partium, recessus à naturali statu demonstratur. 12mo. [28], 618, [14]pp. Paris: Apud Gasparum Meturas, 1648. 127 x 74 mm. Calf, gilt spine ca; 1648, hinges cracked but holding, spine extremities a bit chipped, light edgewear. Minor browning, but very good. Very Rare First Edition, with no copies except this one appearing in auction records; it was published one year before the 1649 Leiden edition that is sometimes erroneously cited as the first. Riolan's Encheiridium anatomicum is the work he is best remembered for, since its rejection of some of William Harvey's ideas on blood circulation prompted Harvey to reply with his Exercitationes duae anatomicae de circulatione sanguinis ad Joannem Riolanum (1649), the only published answer he ever issued to criticisms of De motu cordis. Contrary to Riolan's intent, his Encheiridium ended up helping to validate Harvey's theory, as Harvey used Exercitationes duae not only to demolish Riolan's Galenic notions on the circulation but also to reinforce his own ideas with more direct experimental evidence of the circulation than given in De motu cordis. Keynes, Life of William Harvey, p. 323. .

Description
New York: Geo. P. Hall and Sons, 1900. Mammoth silver print measuring 16 ¼ x 13 ½ in. (sight), matted to 24 x 20 ¼ inches. Very Good. A scarce view of the South Street docks in lower Manhattan c. 1900, showing the Fulton Street Ferry. The Fulton Street Ferry connected Manhattan’s Fulton Street to Brooklyn’s Fulton Street, and in the era preceding the Brooklyn bridge was an important means of travel between the boroughs. Steam travel began in 1814 when Robert Fulton, with the help of Hezekiah Pierrepont, obtained a lease from the city. The steamship Nassau was the first boat used by the company. The ferry was influential in the growth of Brooklyn Heights as suburb. The George P. Hall and Sons company was active from 1886-1914. The bulk of their work was views of New York City. Though examples are prolific, we find no record of this image in the NYHS archive or elsewhere. The photograph shows subjects posed outside the terminal. A very good minus example with some toning and light discoloration at upper edge. Staining to cardstock at mount at margins not affecting image.

Warsaw (Poland): Wydawnictwa Artystyczne i Filmowe. Fine. (c.1996). 1st Edition (English version). Hardcover. (two volumes without dustjackets (as issued), in cardboard slipcase) [books are in perfect condition; the slipcase very close to it, with just slight bumping to one corner (the set was in the original shrinkwrap when received by us, which was removed only to permit proper cataloguing)]. (B&W and color photographs, sketches) Beautifully-produced two-volume survey of the ouevre of the great Polish filmmaker (who passed away earlier this year), lavishly illustrated with (mostly full-page) color and black-and-white photographs, as well as numerous reproductions of Wajda's own drawings. (Most of the photos are the work of Renata Pajchel.) The text (entirely in English in this edition) is wide-ranging, including production histories, Wajda's own reminiscences and musing, review excerpts (many translated from Polish), full credit information, etc.--it's really the most thorough "films of" treatment that you could hope for, covering all his work from A GENERATION (1955) through MISS NOBODY (1996), including of course his best-known films: ASHES AND DIAMONDS (1958) and MAN OF IRON (1981). The only complaint that one might possibly have is that it's a "incomplete" chronicle of the director's work, because Wajda went on making films for another twenty years: his final feature film, AFTER IMAGE, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival just a few weeks before his death at the age of 90, and has been submitted as Poland's official entry for this year's Best Foreign-Language Film Academy Award. (For shipping outside the U.S., additional charges will be requested; please enquire before ordering if this is a concern.) .

Slight to moderate wear, browning, foxing, staining, bumping, and minor annotations in pencil. Chaliapin "was widely-considered the greatest singing actor of his day... He was a perfectionist as far as his own make-up, costuming and musical and dramatic preparation were concerned, and untiringly attentive to the staging of the operas he appeared in. Those who worked with him or who knew him off stage testify to his almost superhuman vital force, warmth and fierce intolerance of artistic mediocrity."
