A nice mid-20th century illustrated cookbook showing minimal use. Colorful line drawing illustrations by Bill Charmatz (1925-2005), a style made famous in his work for Sports Illustrated magazine. During WWII, he drew charts and maps for the U.S. Navy's graphics unit. Charmatz was a founding member of the Illustrators Guild and served as a vice president of the Graphic Arts Guild., Crown Publishers, Inc, 1955, 3, Lausanne: La Guilde du Livre, 1959. First edition. Softcover. g to vg. 1/10,000. Quarto. 100, [6]pp. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over stiff wrappers. Limited first edition of this scarce postwar photobook on Japan, reserved for members of la Guilde du Livre, with over 100 velvety heliogravures (many full page) featuring the work of award-winning Japanese photographer Yoichi Midorikawa. In the history of 20th-century Japanese photography, "the true beginning of postwar photography dates to around 1950, with the emergence of the photo-realism movement." The transformative quality of that vision joins in this 1959 photobook with photojournalism's powerful impact and Japan's centuries-old landscape tradition in art (History of Japanese Photography, 211). Japon Japonais is especially distinctive in presenting the work of Japanese photographer Yoichi Midorikawa, known for his richly expressive landscapes. The over 100 heliogravures within capture a culture in transition, with images of factory workers and rural villagers, women pearl divers and elegant artists of the tea ceremony, lyric seascapes of swirling mist and moonlight, and astounding panoramas of hillsides sculpted into productive farmland. Number 1878 of 10,000 copies printed for members of la Guilde du Livre. Text in French by Swiss journalist Charles-Henri Favrod. Dust-jacket slightly age-toned and rubbed along edges. Tiny chipping at upper front joint of DJ. Text in French.

"Several checklists appear, one at the end of each chapter, listing all the books discussed and arranged chronologically... to help a reader understand the content of what was printed. Though the text is an enjoyable read from start to finish, the addition of these checklists, as well as the comprehensive bibliography and footnotes, allow readers to use this book as a reference text." - Cassie Brand, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America "Surprisingly, despite the many presses covered, a satisfying amount of detail about each is provided.... Over 100 attractive images successfully support Patkus remarks about the aesthetics of layout, design, and illustration produced by the presses. The book contains a number of helpful checklists, tables, and graphs that present the reader with opportunities to consider the books from a variety of perspectives.... a worthy addition to a reference library for those interested in the book arts." - Barbara Adams Hebard, Guild of Book Workers Newsletter The Privately Printed Bible is the first book to offer a broad survey of the history of private and fine press printings of biblical texts. Author Ronald Patkus focuses on English-language examples from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and North America, and includes more than 500 works in his study. He begins with the late nineteenth century revival of printing which took place in England under the influence of William Morris, and continues on through the twentieth century. Along the way he describes key texts, such as the Doves Bible, the Oxford Lectern Bible, the Golden Cockerel Four Gospels, the Spiral Press Ecclesiastes, the Pennyroyal Caxton Bible, and the Arion Press Bible. He also discusses lesser-known works that are part of the story. Following the opening introduction, the book is divided into five chapters that each deal with a specific generation of printers: the Revival, the "Second Generation," the Postwar Era, and the late twentieth century. Over 100 illustrations assist the reader in understanding the aesthetics of layout, design and illustration taken up by various presses. In addition, the book contains a number of checklists, tables, and graphs. Within each time period, the author begins with general comments and then focuses on the individual presses, providing context on their development and their interest in printing biblical texts. Much attention is given to the production and to the books themselves: what they look like and their main features. Chapter One, "Prelude," sketches out the long history of private press printing and connections to the Bible. The second chapter, "Private Press Revival, 1892-1919," focuses on the renaissance of private press printing in England and America, beginning with William Morris and the Kelmscott Press. Chapter Three, "The Second Generation, 1920-1945," is concerned with the inter-war period, including such famous presses as the Golden Cockerel Press, the Nonesuch Press, the Gregynog Press, and the Grabhorn Press. Chapter Four, "Post-War and Beyond, 1946-1969," deals with both older presses and new ones that heralded the appearance of a new, modern aesthetic. Chapter Five, "Late Twentieth Century, 1970-2000," discusses printings at the end of the century, which concluded with the completion of two large-scale projects, the Pennyroyal Press Bible, and the Arion Press Bible. Chapter Six, "Postlude and Conclusion," offers comments on contemporary developments, and a summary. Ronald Patkus is Head of the Archives & Special Collections Library and Adjunct Associate Professor of History at Vassar College. He teaches several courses on the history of the book and the history of the Bible. He is the author of Shirley Jones and the Red Hen Press, Ars Omnia Tuetur: 25 Years of Fine Printing at Thornwillow Press, and numerous articles dealing with the history of the book.

Rare Out-of-Print-title ! Joseph "Jo" Mielziner (March 19, 1901, in Paris - March 15, 1976, in New York City) was an American theatrical scenic, and lighting designer born in Paris, France. He is "the most successful set designer of the Golden era of Broadway", and worked on both stage plays and musicals. He was the son of artist Leo Mielziner, Sr. (son of a rabbi), and Ella (née Friend), a writer, and brother of actor-director Kenneth MacKenna. He studied at the Art Students League and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Mielziner was considered one of the most influential theatre designers of the 20th century, designing the scenery and often the lighting for more than 200 productions, many of which became American classics. He "pioneered 'selective realism' in scenic design". According to his obituary, he was perhaps "praised most often...for his sweeping canvas of people under the Brooklyn Bridge, used as a backdrop for Maxwell Anderson's Winterset. After his education and spending 13 months in Europe "absorbing the revolutionary changes occurring in traditional stage design", in 1923 he worked for the Theatre Guild in New York as an assistant stage manager and bit actor. Mielziner's Broadway debut as a designer was in 1927 with The Guardsman, for which he designed the scenery and lighting. His other Broadway credits include the original productions of Sweet and Low, Another Part of the Forest, Winterset, Oh, Captain!, Dodsworth, Strange Interlude, Carousel, South Pacific, Guys and Dolls, The King and I, A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Gypsy, and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, as well as the film Picnic and the ballet Who Cares?. He won the Academy Award for best color art direction for his work on Picnic. During World War II, Mielziner worked as a camouflage specialist with the United States Air Force. In the course of his career, Mielziner won seven Tony Awards and was nominated for another five. His influence extended outside of the theatre. He was acquainted with the American artist Edward Hopper, who is said to have modeled his well-known painting Early Sunday Morning after Mielziner's set for Elmer Rice's play Street Scene, produced in 1929. Mielziner designed the theater at Wake Forest University and co-designed the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center with architect Eero Saarinen. He resided for many years at The Dakota and can be seen working in his studio in an exterior shot in the film Rosemary's Baby. He died on March 15, 1976, in New York City. Recently, his scenic designs for the original production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman were re-created for the 2012 Broadway revival starring Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, Andrew Garfield and Linda Emond. Director Mike Nichols stated that he felt he needed Mielziner's original set because it was "intimately connected with the way the play developed." He went on to say he has never seen anything "near as good in any of the productions of 'Salesman' because it's everything and nothing." (Wikipedia), 2001, 0, Exhibition catalogue: the most important exhibition ever organised by the Benaki Museum and the most extensive exhibition on modern Hellenism ever presented..Athens: Benaki Museum, 2021. In English. Soft cover, 23.5 cm, 1218 pp., rich colour illustration (1300 color pictures, maps and drawings); net weight 2080 gr. ISBN: 978-960-476-283-5More than 1,200 objects gathered in the exhibition and spread across the 1,218 pages of the accompanying catalogue showcase one hundred years of modern Greek history, between 1770 and 1870. This century begins with the moral and economic preparations for the liberation of the Greeks, reaches an apex with the 1821 Revolution and concludes with the first decades of the operation and development of the new Greek state. Through rare works of art and special testimonies from each era, the three parts of the exhibition and the corresponding chapters of the catalogue offer a fascinating journey of history and art, a journey that in each step reveals why this adventurous century remains so deeply engaging, even in the 21st century.The monumental catalogue 1821 Before and After: Greeks and Greece, Revolution and State is one of the most important publications on modern Greece in recent years.Luxurious testimonies and artefacts of everyday life from the pre-revolutionary period, mementoes of war from the Revolution years, along with documents related to all forms of Greek administration, coexist with bourgeois and popular artworks from the first decades of the new state, combined with works of art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries; altogether, they testify to the echoes and reception of the Greek War of Independence. Together with loans from the co-organiser banks, from organizations and from private collectors, the extensive collections amassed by Antonis Benakis for the Museum he founded and donated to the Greek state take pride of place. These works create a deeply meaningful assemblage that traces the enchanting story of modern Greeks and brings to the fore the reasons of their very existence, their perseverance and how far they have travelled: all the positive elements that have shaped modern Hellenism.CONTENTS:FOREWORDS INTRODUCTORY TEXTS HELLENISM AND OTTOMAN RULE: Ottoman Empire and Administration 63 Travellers in Greek Lands and the Beginning of Philhellenism 81 Daily Life 97 Greek Commerce and Guilds 173 Education and Publishing 209 The Church and Worship 249 The Russo-Turkish War and the Orlov Revolt 271 Rigas Velestinles (Pherrhaeos) 287 Ali Pasha, Souli and European Powers in the Ionian Sea 299 Armatoloi and Klefts 327 The Filiki Eteria 337 REVOLUTION AND ITS HEROES Eighteen Twenty-One 357 Eighteen Twenty-Two 385 Eighteen Twenty-Three 407 Eighteen Twenty-Four 425 Eighteen Twenty-Five 437 Eighteen Twenty-Six 453 Eighteen Twenty-Seven 471 Portraits of 1821 495 Philhellenism 581 Ioannis Kapodistrias and the First Steps of the Greek State 613 GREEKS AND THE STATE he Arrival of King Otho 659 The Royals and the Palace 675 State Officials and Infrastructure 709 Economy, Education and the Church 729 The Constitution and General Elections 765 The Megale dea The 'Great Idea' 781 The Nafplion Uprising and the Expulsion of King Otto 791 Moral Reward and the Deaths of Fighters 803 Revolution, Art and Symbolism 829 A New Capital, Bridges to the Past and the Other Cities 839 The Faces of the Young State 979 From foustanella to the Western Dress 1003 The Election of King George I and the Unification of the Ionian Islands 1059 The New Royals, the Politicians and the New Court 1077 Banditry 1119 Public Works and Education 1125 Irredentism 1147 Popularity and the Second Life of the Revolution 1155 The Resilience of '1821' in Twentieth Century Art 1171 The Corinth Canal: A Gash Through the Earth, a Step into the Future 1197 'Hail, oh Hail, Liberty' 1207IMPORTANT: The shipping cost in not included in the price.
