Frau U.S. Consul Wilson von E. und F. Schlegel (To our most compliant patrons: Mr. and Mrs. U.S. Consul Wilson from E. and F. Schlegel)," protected by modern mylar. Contents include chapters of the rise, development and decline of religious drama, the historical background of the passion-play, the village and people of Ober-Ammergau; the story of the play, a description of the Ammergau Theater, and a photographic documentation, including the text and songs of the chorus by John P. Jackson. First edition of the first photographic testimony of the Oberammergau passion play. Every ten years since 1634 the villagers of Oberammergau have staged a dramatization of the New Testament story, having pledged to do so in a bid to secure divine protection from the plague. By the later nineteenth century it had become a major tourist attraction, with visitors from across Europe making the journey to the Bavarian Alps to witness the play, which ran for several hours and involved many hundred actors, drawn entirely from the town. The present work, one of the earliest photo series, captures the event of 1871 in all its size and spectacle, with sixty scenes from the play illustrated with 60 Albumen prints. The photographs were taken by the publisher Joseph Albert, the personal photographer of Louis II. of Bavaria. Albert had invented the Albertype in 1868, a collotype process in which the bichromated gelatin adheres to a finely ground glass plate using a ground-coat of the same substance, hardened by exposure to light. The method allowing the printer to produce over two-hundred copies a day, and two thousand without deterioration of the gelatin, this discovery allowed collotypes to be produced commercially for the first time. In 1873 Albert began operating a high-speed press for collotype printing. However, this group was produced in the conventional way of producing Albumen prints, as it was introduced by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard in 1847. The work also includes an account of the passion play's history and development by John P. Jackson, and a translation of the text of the play and its lyrics. Text in English. With some penciled markings and underlining in text. Lightly refurbished, rear cover faintly discolored. The plates: [1].; Christ foretells his betrayal. Royal photograph 18a.

(New York: Center for Book Arts, 1996. stiff paper wrappers in a plain brown wrapper with the primary title printed in black. Center for Book Arts. 8vo. stiff paper wrappers in a plain brown wrapper with the primary title printed in black. 20 pages (5 leaves folded once). Coordinated by Ilse de Graaf and Lara Frankena, this exhibition was held in New York from January 20 through March 30, 1996. Recognizing the potential influence of books in defining a person's gender identity and sexual expression, this exhibition of artists' books examined the relationship between the book and sexual practices. It also explored the diversity of contemporary sexual experience and the current attitudes towards human physicality, male/female relations, homosexuality, AIDS, and desire. These works assert the innumerable ways a book can express ideas concerning the most intimate aspects of an individual, as well as the larger political concerns related to sexual orientation and gender issues. Illustrated in black and white.
