Description:
Lyme, Connecticut: Callaway Editions Inc, 1980. Small folio. (13 1/2 x 11 inches). First edition. 48 duo-tone plates, laser-scanned directly from the original photographs and printed in 300-line screen offset lithography. Beige publisher's cloth with gilt title. Fine copy. A photographic exploration of the water's edge, 40 years in the making. Featuring an introductory poem by award-winning poet A.R. Ammons and an afterword composed of edited conversations between Callahan and the publisher. Callahan was widely respected in the photography community for his open mind and experimental attitude, qualities reinforced by his association with Moholy-Nagy and the principles of Bauhaus design. This book is a collection of photographs taken around various bodies of water, Callahan's favorite subject. The forty-eight duo-tone photographs were taken between 1941 and 1980, primarily in Cape Cod but also in more surprising places, such as Detroit and Chicago.

Description:
London: Thomas Jefferys, 1762. Engraving, by Peter Mazell. A fine and rare image of Guadaloupe in the West Indies, taken during the English occupation of the island from 1759 to 1763. Fort Royal is situated on the west coast of Basse-Terre (the more rugged of the two islands that make up the bulk of Guadaloupe) and is near the present-day town of Deshaies. The British attempted, unsuccessfully, to capture the French colony of Guadaloupe in 1666, 1691 and 1703, before finally succeeding in 1759. The island was returned to the French in 1763, but captured again, briefly, in April 1794.

Description:
London: Published by Colen Campbell, 1725. Engraved by Henry Hulsbergh. On laid paper. Two repaired tears in the bottom margin, well outside image. From Colen Campbell's "Vitruvius Britannicus, or the British Architect." Vitruvius Britannicus is one of the great eighteenth-century English architectural works. It illustrates, in a way, the social revolution that occured in the first half of the 18th century under the governance of Robert Walpole. Noble country estates as grand as any in continental Europe appeared throughout the land. These are buildings of Classical formality and grandeur, implying familial and imperial permanence, vast, symmetrical palaces that preside over their surroundings. Colen Campbell (1676-1729) was a descendant of the Campbells of Cawdor Castle in Scotland. As an architect, he favored the Palladian style and, through his own designs and withVitruvius Britannicus , helped establish it as the dominant style in great buildings, both public and private, in England.

Description:
London: Published by Colen Campbell, 1725. Engraved by Henry Hulsbergh. Watermarked laid paper. A few spots. Repaired split at bottom of centerfold. Browning at edges. A noble British Palladian facade from Colen Campbell's "Vitruvius Britannicus." Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus is considered one of the greatest eighteenth-century English architectural works. Campbell's seminal text helped establish Palladianism as the English national style and gave a unified façade to England's architectural landscape. Campbell published the first three volumes between 1715 and 1725, but the text was continued in two subsequent volumes by Woolfe and Gandon in 1767 and 1771. The work is comprised of large, finely engraved illustrations, plans, and cross sections of English country houses and parks. This rendition of the north facade of Cliefden was drawn by Campbell and engraved by Henry Hulsbergh (d.1729). Colen Campbell (1676-1729) was a descendant of the Campbells of Cawdor Castle in Scotland. As an… Read More

(11 x 8 1/2 inches). 29 leaves of text (printed double-column on rectos only) with occasional manuscript ink corrections; 62 mounted photographs (mostly 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches) facing text on versos of printed leaves or on separate thicker paper.

Likely privately printed account of an August 1903 camping and fishing trip into Canada's Muskoka region, by fourteen people from the Indian Territory, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Washington, DC, and Northampton and Boston, Massachusetts.

The group assembled at a cottage on Lake Rousseau north of Toronto, and took canoes to camps on Lakes Blackstone and Crane near Parry Sound. The first four chapters relay descriptions of their travels, camping gear, fishing… Read More

Description:
London: Published by Francis West, 1850. Hand-coloured engraving. A later impression. Very good condition apart from some light soiling, a few small tears and a mild water stain in the bottom margin. A lovely view down the length of the canal in St. James Park as seen from Buckingham Palace, from "A Collection of Views of Old London and its Environs," a series of plates originally engraved for the publisher John Bowles in the mid 1700s and later reissued in the nineteenth century by Francis West. This particular plate was first published by John Bowles & Son in 1746. Born in France in 1713, Peter Charles Canot was a prolific line engraver who was active in England beginning in 1740. He engraved copious plates after various old Masters as well as contemporary artists, including Samuel Scott, Thomas Sandby, and John Maurer, and exhibited at the Free Society, the Society of Artists and the Royal Academy, which appointed him an associate engraver in 1770. He was also a member of the Incorporated Society… Read More

Description:
Philadelphia: Carey & Lea, 1823. Engraving with full period colour. Backed on linen. Split at fold expertly repaired. Occasional creases. Fascinating and informative map of Connecticut from one of the most innovative American atlases of the 19th century. Carey & Lea's atlas established a style that was widely admired, especially in Europe: placing a fully coloured map as the centerpiece of the page and surrounding it with geographical and historical facts. The texts were well written and intriguing. The immense transformation of continental America: the vast migration, settlement and industrialization really began at about this time, not long after the War of 1812, when expansion and opportunity were American by-words. It was at this time that American atlases began to need semi-annual revisions because the country had changed so rapidly. In fact, the Carey & Lea gazetteer style, most reminiscent of Herman Moll really, was too time consuming for the firms that published atlases of America as the… Read More

Description:
[Boston: B. & J. Loring, 1801. Copper-engraved map, with original outline colour, folded and mounted on linen. Publisher's paper label to verso, in good condition apart from some slight browning. Modern cloth chemise, within a morocco-backed cloth slipcase. A very rare and highly important early map of Massachusetts. The revised and much improved first "official" edition of the most important early map of Massachusetts. In three key ways, this edition is a great improvement over Osgood Carleton's 1798 original which was rejected for official sanction by the government of the Commonwealth. Firstly, the coastline and coastal islands have been more correctly rendered, largely due to the incorporation of information from the charts of Joseph Des Barres. Secondly, roads and streams that had been left incomplete in the earlier map were extended. Thirdly, some of the clutter of the 1798 map, engraved by Carleton's partner, John Norman, was removed, and the map is more attractive and informative, with a… Read More
