One of the greatest American painters of the 19th century, Winslow Homer (1836-1910) also maintained a deep engagement with photography throughout his career. Focusing on the important, yet often-overlooked, role that photography played in Homer's art, this volume exposes Homer's own experiments with the camera (he first bought one in 1882). It also explores how the medium of photography and the larger visual economy influenced his work as a painter, watercolorist, and printmaker at a moment when new print technologies inundated the public with images. Frank Goodyear and Dana Byrd demonstrate that photography offered Homer new ways of seeing and representing the world, from his early commercial engravings sourced from contemporary photographs to the complex relationship between his late-career paintings of life in the Bahamas, Florida, and Cuba and the emergent trend of tourist photography. The authors argue that Homer's understanding of the camera's ability to create an image that is simultaneously accurate and capable of deception was vitally important to his artistic practice in all media. Richly illustrated and full of exciting new discoveries, Winslow Homer and the Camera is a long-overdue examination of the ways in which photography shaped the vision of one of America's most original painters." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: A good thing when he sees it: Winslow Homer, photography, and the art of painting, by Frank H.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First thus. New, still in publisher's shrink-wrap. This scarce two-volume set of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," a 2009 first edition/first printing, is the very definition of a "fine edition," and it might be the very definition of "luxury item" as well. It was published by Chester River Press, a firm that specializes in bespoke books that are designed in cooperation with the individual commissioning a publication. In this case, that anonymous individual went all out, with separate hardcover folio copies for each text, with the original Homeric Greek (edited by Barry B. Powell, Professor of Classics Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison) in parallel columns with the great Alexander Pope translation. Steven Shankman, Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon and UNESCO Chair in Transcultural Studies, Interreligious Dialogue, and Peace, wrote a two-part introduction that tells the reader first about Homer, then about Pope. It may be the illustrations that make these volumes especially distinguished, however. Most of the approximately 55 original prints produced by Avery Lawrence are in the form of full-page recreations of red-and-black Greek pottery that illustrate the stories being told.if "recreations" is the right word for images that follow the exacting artistic forms but still spring from Lawrence's imagination. The facing captions provide the applicable quotes for the action being depicted, but also the date and even the artist or collector of the vessel used as a prototype. The print is dignified and sized to be easy to read and the paper is sturdy without being overly thick, in a cream color that is gentle on the eyes. They are bound in identical black Dutch cloth with differences in their decoration and, obviously, their lettering, but following the same format. "The Iliad" has an ancient Greek plumed helmet, in profile, stamped in gold on its front cover. A smaller copy of that helmet is at the top of the spine with the publisher's name at the bottom. The title, in large Greek letters, is between. All are stamped in bright gold. "The Odyssey" is similar in appearance. Instead of a helmet, its cover is decorated with an ancient Greek ship, and the title is again in Greek lettering. Unlike many books that come in slipcases, these volumes have dustjackets made of sturdy glossy black paper. The spines of the dustjackets match the spines of the binding of the volumes, only with orange printing instead of gold, but the covers are quite different from the covers of the volume bindings. Here, the Greek titles are printed in large orange letters, with the titles repeated in smaller orange letters beneath, along with Homer's and Alexander Pope's names. Shankman's and Lawrence's names are beneath those, even smaller, again in orange. We have described the text block to some extent above, but we did not mention that each volume has a bright gilt top edge and comes with double black and gold satin ribbon bookmarks. The two volumes share a single slipcase, and, in this case, even that slipcase is extraordinary - black, sturdy, with an attached broad satin ribbon that is serves as a booklift to help take the volumes out without damage. There are also small blocks built into the bottom of the interior of the slipcase that serve as supports for the text blocks so they don't drag on the binding, helpful as the volumes are substantive and large: 15"x13"x1.75" to 2". These books won't be easy to cuddle up with, but they will be volumes to be treasured as exemplars of the book arts. That is likely why institutions as far afield as the National Library of New Zealand and as prestigious as the Wren Library at Trinity College, Cambridge University, have copies. Now you can possess one, too. Ours are new, and still in shrink wrap as delivered by the publisher. See attached photos. Happy to address any questions.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A handsome copy of Homer`s `Odyssey` bound by German bookbinder and graphic designer Frieda Thiersch (1889-1947), printed in the Greek types designed by R. Proctor [Robert George Collier Proctor (1868_1903)] based on type found in the Complutensian Polyglot Bible. Thiersch, influenced by the simple beauty of Doves Press bindings and taught for a period by Doves Bindery finisher Charles McLeish, is considered to have played a key role in the development of the German book art movement after World War I. Thiersch volunteered as a nurse in World War I, later working at the Bremer Bindery and then founding a bookbinding school after economic conditions worsened as a result of the start of the Second World War. As head of the Bremer Bindery she was responsible for the design and execution of all bindings of the Bremer Presse. In the 1930s and `40s, with the remaining staff of the Bremer Presse, Thiersch produced document folders, guest books, photo albums, cassettes and representative gift booklets for powerful figures of the Nazi regime. Many of her assignments were directly for Hitler's private needs. Due to a bombing in 1944 many of her books were destroyed, and early bindings are scarce. This copy is simply bound in black morocco with a gilt-ruled border to both boards, five raised bands and six gilt- ruled compartments to spine, and title and year of publication tooled in gilt also to spine. One of a limited edition of 225 copies printed by Horace Hart at the Oxford University Press. A beautifully printed book bound by one of the most skilled female bookbinders of the twentieth century. Black morocco binding by Frieda Thiersch, simple gilt-ruled border to both boards. A little wear to spine and extremities of boards. Spine lightly sunned. Upper hinge professionally repaired by female conservators Coralie Barbe and Florence Malo. Very light occasional foxing to some pages.
