Description
S. l. (Kyrgyzstan [?]): By the photographer, 1920. Softcover. Silver gelatin print, n. d. (ca 1920s [?]); 16 1/2 x 10 3/4; two small chips to upper left corner and top edge; several minor rubbed spots and pin-pricks to edges; titled in Cyrillic in blue pencil on verso; also on verso, a label of the Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries with title in English and a small American Russian Institute stamp; overall in very good- condition. Georgii Anatolevich Zelma (1906 - 1984), a pioneer of modern documentary photography, was born in Tashkent and moved to Moscow with his family in 1921. At just 15, he began taking pictures with an old 9 x 12 Kodak camera. He eventually started working for the Proletkino film studios and for the journal "Teatr." Between 1924 and 1927, Zelma returned to his homeland as a correspondent to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Central Asia, where he documented the local, predominantly Muslim population's transformation by the Soviets. The original for the current print was most probably taken during that period. Throughout the 1930s, his images were often published in the journal "USSR in Construction" and he frequently collaborated with Max Alpert and Aleksandr Rodchenko. Some of his most memorable photographs were taken in the winter of 1942 - 1943, during the Battle of Stalingrad, while he was stationed at the front-line as a correspondent for "Izvestiia." In fact, his documenting that pivotal point of the Second World War inspired the theme for the movie "Enemy at the Gate," in 2001.

Description
London: Macmillan & Co, 1893. FIRST EDITION. With 46 illustrations by Harry Furniss. Original red cloth with a small circular gilt decoration on the both boards. A fine and bright copy in the original green/grey dust jacket. From the library of Caryl Liddell Hargreaves (1887-1955), the third son of the original “Alice” (and the only one to survive, his two older brothers having been killed in World War I). (Alice always denied that her son’s name was associated with Charles Dodgson’s pseudonym, but who truly knows!). First edition, first issue with the errors as indicated in WMG. The second part, competing Sylvie and Bruno which was first published in 1889. The stories are continuations of those in the first book, though not quite as serious (politically or socially) as Carroll originally wrote (although “the social situations are as Victorian as ever”). “The preface is of great interest, for Dodgson defines the limitations under which he conceives of fairies, their powers and forms, and of psychical states of human beings, showing how carefully chastened his apparently riotous imagination was.” Williams, Madan, Green, 250.
