Description:
Paris: Raymond Mazieres, 1707. Three volumes of homilies by the Curé of Saint Sulpice. 4th Edition. full leather binding with 6 panels, 2 leather labels to the spine with title and volume. The bindings have some nicking and chipping to them. The surface area is quite pitted. Still attractive. Each volume has vignettes and historiated initials to the beginning of each homily. Each homily has its own title page and date. These were obviously printed as separate homilies and bound together here. Text in French. Vol 1. 1707 4th Edition. This volume has had damage to the bottom edge (looks as if perhaps mice before binding or similar?). As a result, the text block has been shaved to the base (not affecting text). This has resulted in the book being 2.5 cm shorter than the other two volumes. Contains Homily I (Pour le Second Dimanche de L'Avent sur la Correction Fraternelle); XXII; (Pour le premier jour de L'an), XXVI; (pour le Troisieme Dimanche apres L'Epiphanie sur le Lepreux et le Paralytique),… Read More

Description:
Netherlands, 1960. An original study, in pastels with three nude images. Perhaps a basis for sculpture, as the work shows torsos, and is more sculptural than erotic. The signature is difficult to decipher, but appears to be E Schepp or similar.  The work shows clear skill, and is in very good condition. Appears to have been drawn in the 1960's or 1970's Mounted in passe partout.  The work is held in a glazed wooden frame. The price shown here is for the pastel itself, in the passe partout, but unframed. If you wish the frame, then this is also possible for a small additional cost. (Most of the additional cost is the difficult shipping!) Image 56.6cm x 44.5cm. Frame 77cm x 66cm Une étude originale, aux pastels secs avec trois images de nus. Peut-être une base pour la sculpture, car l'œuvre montre des torses, et est plus sculpturale qu'érotique. La signature est difficile à déchiffrer, mais semble être E Schepp ou similaire. Le travail montre une habileté évidente, et est en très bon… Read More

New York: Whitney Museum of American Art, 2003. Second Edition. 4to. 28cm x 24cm. Publisher's black cloth boards. Dustjacket. Titled in silver gilt to spine and front board. A fine copy in dustjacket. 163pp. Internally clean. Packed to the tent pegs with black and white images and interviews depicting the now disappeared world of the carnival sex workers of the mid 1970's, even then a period of change and decay rather than a heyday. Meiselas's original publication in 1976 has always been a cult object, long out of print and prime for a new edition. This copy is signed by Meiselas to the title page, and has an additional CD of interviews and additional material to the rear. By turns sleazy, funny, sad, and fascinating, it's never less than a skilfully rendered view of a lost piece of Americana.

A very good copy in silver paper covered boards with some light bumping to the top right corners and some faint foxing to the preliminary pages and in an about very good dust jacket with a large chip to the top of the front panel and with some other edge tears and wear.
