Description
San Francisco: Pacific Editions, printed at The Greenwood Press, 1999. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Hobson, Charles. Number 35 of 45 copies, quarto size, [19] pp., signed to each plate and to the colophon by Charles Hobson. Edgar Degas (1834-1917) has long been considered one of the greatest of the French impressionists, especially concerning the female body in movement which is given a masterful homage in this intriguing volume. Degas did many monotypes "and in many cases he applied pastel over the ghost version to create a finished piece." Charles Hobson's own masterful pastel and photogravures of the female nude, having a self-proclaimed "lifelong influence" by Degas, are given a loving home beside Degas' words. The text was selected from letters and other material, his words are not only printed typographically on pages facing the plates but overlaid in Degas' actual handwriting to the copper images created by Hobson. ___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter rust-red cloth with Degas' handwriting in facsimile to the cloth in black, hand painted paper covered boards illustrated with a reproduction of a Degas drawing, all edges uncut, concertina binding, eight photogravures; BFK Rives paper, Meridien type, quarto size (11 1/2" by 7 3/4"), unpaginated [19] pp., limited edition of 45 copies, this number 35, signed to each plate and to the colophon by Charles Hobson. Housed in a matching cloth slipcase decorated with facsimiles of Degas' writing, a nib pen imprinted with the title is attached to the backstrip. ___CONDITION: Fine copy, like new, in fine slipcase. ___CITATION: "Experiments in Navigation" pp. 30-33. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

1936. 1936 Pardon for an African-American Issued by the Governor of Texas [Texas]. [Murphy, Florence]. [Conditional Pardon for Florence Murphy from a Conviction of Assault to Rape]. Austin, December 18, 1936. 14-1/2" x 9" blue-backed legal-sized sheet, headed "Proclamation by the Governor of the State of Texas. Signed by Governor James V. Allred and Secretary of State B.P. Matocha, state seal affixed. Negligible wear, rust marks from staples and paper clips. $350. * Murphy, an African-American, was convicted of assault to rape in 1933. His pardon, which notes the several appeals for clemency sent on Murphy's behalf, refers specifically to a letter from District Attorney H.H. Wellborn, "who states he was never satisfied about this negro's case, that since his conviction certain things have come to light which leave him in doubt as to this negro's guilt, that if he is guilty he has been punished sufficiently, and that some of the best white citizens of his county are of the same opinion he is.

2010. ISBN-13: 9781584779995; ISBN-10: 1584779993. With a New Introductory Essay by Benjamin Ferencz Taylor, Telford. Nuremberg and Vietnam: An American Tragedy. Chicago: Quadrangle Books. [1970]. xxvii [New Introduction], 224 pp. Reprinted 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. With a New Introductory Essay entitled "Will We Finally Apply Nuremberg's Lessons?" by Benjamin Ferencz, Chief Prosecutor for the United States at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, author of Defining International Aggression: The Search for World Peace (1975), Adjunct Professor of International Law, Pace University and founder of the Pace Peace Center. ISBN-13: 9781584779995; ISBN-10: 1584779993. Hardcover. New. $44.95 * A title in The Lawbook Exchange series, Foundations of the Laws of War. Originally published three years before the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 1973, this important book is not a polemic, but a sober account of the Vietnam conflict from the perspective of international law. Framed in reference to the Nuremberg Trials that followed the Second World War, it describes problems the United States may have to face due to its involvement in the Vietnam conflict. After presenting a general history of war crimes and an account of the Nuremberg Trials, Taylor turns his attention to Vietnam. He also examines parallels between actions committed by American troops during the then-recent My Lai Massacre of 1968 and Hitler's SS in Nazi-occupied Europe. Telford Taylor [1908-1998] was chief counsel for the prosecution at the Nuremberg Trials. Later Professor of Law at Columbia University, he was a vigorous opponent of Senator Joseph McCarthy and an outspoken critic of U.S. actions during the Vietnam War. His books include Sword and Swastika: Generals and Nazis in the Third Reich (1952), Grand Inquest: The Story of Congressional Investigations (1955) and The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials: A Personal Memoir (1992).
