Rare photographic work documenting important cities and parts of the countryside in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and Palestine.

The images also show the construction of the Hejaz Railway between Damascus and the holy sites of Mecca and Medina, as well as views of Medina, Mecca, Jeddah, Petra, and Jerusalem. - Plates and text are well preserved; portfolio shows slight traces of repairs.

[265 x 180 mm] Collation : VI, (2), 70, XI, 194 pp., 1 portrait-frontispice et 91 planches hors-texte. Demi-chagrin rouge à coins, dos orné. (Reliure de l'époque). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ First edition. Illustrated by 92 plates photographic images (albumen prints), taken by Adrien Tournachon, the young brother of Nadar (Felix Tournachon). This is the "grande édition" with a frontispice portrait, 82 large photographs, 2 engravings in the text (counting as N° 1 and 2) and 9 plates with 144 small pictures. Complete copies of this first "grande" edition are very rare. In the first edition, photographs are well contrasted, which is not the case in the second one. Garrison-Morton 4973. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Première édition. Duchenne fut le premier à utiliser des stimulations électriques pour étudier le système musculaire et les maladies neurologiques. Il compte parmi les premiers scientifiques à utiliser la photographie pour ses expériences. Ce livre est ainsi illustré de très étranges photos originales collées. EXEMPLAIRE COMPLET DE SES 92 PLANCHES. La première planche est le célèbre portrait de Duchenne avec un de ses souriants patients. On trouve 82 photographies originales (11,5 x 9 cm, numérotées 3 à 84, les figures numérotées 1 et 2 sont des gravures dans le texte). Elles sont suivies de 9 planches qui contiennent 144 petites photographies de visages (numérotés de 3 à 84, avec de nombreux numéros répétés). Comme dans presque tous les exemplaires, le relieur n'a pas conservé, au milieu de l'ouvrage, le faux-titre de l'album de planches. Il est rarissime de trouver un exemplaire de la première édition complet de toutes ses planches comme celui-ci. Les photographies sont d'un excellent tirage, bien contrasté, ce qui n'est plus le cas dans la seconde édition. Less

This teach-book was used to teach the articulation and the reading on the lips of the deaf-mutes. The only one copy in OCLC is in Paris. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Monumental livre utilisé pour enseigner l'articulation et la lecture sur les lèvres des sourds-muets. Il est illustré par 26 photographies originales collées d'un enfant articulant une lettre ou une syllabe (de format 9 x 6,5 cm environ) et de nombreuses gravures lithographiées. Le volume est monté sur une tige en bois qui permettait de le suspendre verticalement dans une salle de classe. Très rare. Le seul exemplaire dans OCLC est à la Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de santé de Paris. Tout l'ouvrage a été imprimé à Tours par Juliot sur des pages cartonnées. Ce livre est "un ensemble d'exercices préparés pour les leçons d'articulation et de lecture sur les lèvres. Il a pour but de faciliter au maître l'emploi simultané dans l'enseignement de la parole aux sourds-muets. Chaque page porte en tête quelques photographies donnant l'aspect du visage au moment de l'articulation des lettres étudiées dans la leçon; ces lettres sont tracées en doubles caractères imprimés et manuscrits. De cette manière le sourd-muet a sous les yeux les deux principaux signes de la parole : le visage pour la parole articulée et l'écriture pour la parole représentée. Ces deux signes s'identifient en quelque sorte pour le sourd-muet : l'un quelconque lui rappelle l'autre. La vue fréquente des photographies lui rend l'acte de la parole comme permanent; cet aspect frappe ses yeux comme le son frappe nos oreilles; et c'est le point de départ de la lecture sur les lèvres. La page est terminée par une collection de gravures représentant les principaux objets nommés, et formant ainsi une leçon de chose." Il est mentionné sur la couverture que l'auteur est un "Frère des Ecoles chrétiennes" sans autre précision. Manque au coin inférieur de premiers tableaux, pages salies, le livre a servi. Less

Oblong Folio in gilt stamped full leather, silk moire endpapers, all edges gilt with 29 photographs approximately 28.5 X 39 CM - both vertical and horizontal formats. Photographer Unknown. Includes a portrait of Henri Menier (1853-1913) and photo of Quebec City from the river, the rest showing Anticosti Island many of the improvements made by Menier since its aquisition, including exterior and interior shots of his mansion at Baie-Ellis, the new settlements, road improvements, etc and of the 'Bacchante' a 1, 200 ton yacht which Menier bought from the Russian, Prince Stroganoff than outfitted with naval guns. Inscribed and Signed by Henri Menier on Portrait to Captain Newton. Rare there being only a few similar albums with different photos and qualities. Aquired from the Newton Family. In December 1895, Henri Menier, a rich French chocolate manufacturer, brought Anticosti island for $125,000.00, based on the recommendations of his life-long friend George-Martin Zede, with the intention of developing a model settlement and a fishing and hunting paradise that he could visit with his friends. Martin Zede who was named Director- General of the Island (1895-1926), spent considerable financial resources under the directions of Menier, until Menier's death in 1913. Henri Menier initially developed the village of English Bay which he renamed Bay-Holy-Claire in honour of his mother. Then, a few years later, ordered its installations to be moved to Ellis Bay, creating a new village that became Port-Menier where he built a sumptuous villa for his infrequent visits, at the cost of $130,000.00. Martin Zede developed the lumber, agriculture annd fishing bringing a certain amount of prosperity for the islands' inhabitants. The most extravagant was the introductiong of several animal species of which the stag of Virginia constitutes one of the principal richness of the island today. With the death of Henri Menier, in 1913, his brother Gaston continued, in a less intensive way, the development of the island including the construction of several fishing and hunting lodges and the development of tourism related to these activities. Gaston Menier (1855-1934), was an active member of the Quebec Yacht Club 1905-13 and proprietor of the yacht Bacchante. In 1926, Gaston would resell the island to 'Wayagamack Pulp and Paper' for approximately $6,000,000.00. Less

Louis Zukofsky's After I's is a brother from another Mother in an interesting sense. Mag fans might be aware of the New York School influenced Mother published at various point out of Northfield MN (where the James-Younger Gang got shot to pieces while attempting to robb the First National Bank on September 7, 1876), Galesburg, IL, New York City, and Buffalo. Secret Location includes Mother (NY) in its checklist appendix as well as a brief paragraph on the magazine in the introduction. The appendix also lists Mother Press and its three publications: Bingo by Dick Gallup, Poems by John Giorno and the Zukofsky. Slight problem though as there are two Mother Presses. Mother (NY) printed the Gallup and the Giorno, as you might expect given its New York focus. After I's was published by Boxwood Press and Mother Press out of Pittsburgh, PA. Mother (PA) was also a magazine, which ran for twelve issues, under the editorship of Ron Caplan. [+] More

“A tiny drawing of a kangaroo curled in the letters of a 16th-century Portuguese manuscript could rewrite Australian history. The document, acquired by Les Enluminures Gallery in New York, shows a sketch of an apparent kangaroo (''canguru'' in Portuguese) nestled in its text and is dated between 1580 and 1620. It has led researchers to believe images of the marsupial were already being circulated by the time the Dutch ship Duyfken - long thought to have been the first European vessel to visit Australia - landed in 1606.“ Read the whole story by Charli Newton in The Age: [+] More
