Nuremberg: Heinr. Schrag, 1871 Oblong folio (295 x 375 mm). Mounted on guards throughout, letterpress dedication to Ludwig II (verso blank), 2pp. letterpress foreword by R. Bergau, dated 1871. Mounted albumen print title, mounted albumen print of a bird's-eye-view drawing, 29 mounted albumen print views, all by Hahn. Original red/brown cloth, covers with blocked panels in gilt and blind, the flat spine divided into six compartments with gilt-blocked compartments, blue-glazed endpapers, g.e. (expertly rebacked, old spine laid down), modern cloth box, brown morocco lettering piece to spine. Provenance: Lothar Faber (presentation inscription, dated Christmas 1873, from the 'Familie Lothar Faber', to an unnamed recipient). A fine and early photographic record of the picturesque german town of nuremberg. The plates are of the most interesting views of the ancient town wall that surrounded the old city of Nuremberg - with each view on its own original mount with printed border, title and imprint. The provenance of this copy is interesting: according to the calligraphic manuscript inscription at the front of the album, it was given (to an unnamed recipient) as a memento or souvenir of a stay in Stein (near Nuremberg) during the summer of 1873. It is inscribed from the family of Lothar Faber. Lothar von Faber was the fourth generation to work in the family business of pencil-making. He proved to have a genius for both invention and marketing and by the end of the 19th century the firm of Faber-Castell was one of the largest of its kind in the world. The firm is still going strong and produces over 1.8 billion pencils a year. Photos available upon request!

Paris: A. Maurice, 1878. Fine. A. Maurice, Paris 1878, 10,6x16,4cm, une photographie. - Grande photographie originale sur papier albuminé, au format carte de cabinet, contrecollée sur un carton fort. Publicité du photographe au dos. Rare photographie de Victor Hugo dans sa maison de Hauteville, dans le fameux salon rouge Renaissance, la pièce préférée de l'écrivain, entièrement conçue par lui. On y voit l'écrivain assis, la main droite dans son gilet. De la pièce on peut voir le grand lustre à gaz, 4 sculptures porte-torchères et un miroir dans le fond. Au début de l'été 1878, Victor Hugo fait une attaque d'apoplexie à Paris et rejoint Hauteville pour sa convalescence durant les mois d'été. Le photographe André prendra alors de lui plusieurs clichés à Hauteville ; l'intérêt de ces photographies est qu'elles ne sont pas des photographies de studio. Les plaques de verre seront récupérés plus tard par Alexandre Maurice qui les tirera en 1891.…

Routledge, 1990. 8vo size trade paperback; 390 pages including index From back: "This is a unique study, continuing the work of Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, and using the techniques of phenomenology against the prevailing nihilism of our culture. It expands our understanding of the human potential for spiritual self-realization by interpreting it as the developing of a bodily-felt awareness informing our gestures and movements. The author argues that a psychological focus on our experiences of well-being and pathology as embodied beings contribute significantly to a historically relevant critique of idealogy. It also provides an essential touchstone in experience for a fruitful individual and collective response to the dangers of nihilism." Edgewear, moderate wear to covers with sunned spine; marginalia, underlining and very light highlighting on least 58 pages prior to page 107; two previously folded page corners, some stray ink marks on outside pages.
