From Mary Morgan Smith's review in LIBRARY JOURNAL: "What do you get when you combine the efforts of the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Abrams publishers, and the Assyrian Empire? An answer can be found in this wonderful new exhibit catalog filled with excellent color reproductions and a text that is both scholarly and readable. A chronology and list of kings help to keep track of people and events. Three chapters set up the history, civilization , and exploration of the Assyrian Empire; following chapters discuss and illustrate the art, dress, literature, government, religion, and war of that great civilization. Excellent photographs reproduce alabaster reliefs, ivory plaques, cylinder seals, and furniture with remarkable clarity. But this is more than a catalog of an art exhibit; it distills the Assyrian way of life for easy consumption. If you cannot get to New York, Ft. Worth, or London to see the traveling show, take a long look at this book; highly recommended." . First Edition. Oversize Softcover. Fine condition. 224pp.…

Hardcover. Washington: Government Printing, 1963. Paper over boards with text and map pocket held within. vg condition.; Bolsh29D49.

Cloth, folio, 372 pp, 502 ills. With an introduction by John Rothenstein. From the blurb - "-The great revival of interest in the art of Aubrey Beardsley and the success of recent retrospective exhibitions of his work have demonstrated the need for a single volume presenting all his better-known prints and drawings as well as many of his less familiar but equally important ones. Brian Reade, who was responsible for the exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in New York in 1967 and for the one a year earlier at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, is recognized as the leading authority on Beardsley today. Among the 500 examples on these pages, some have never been published before. An important feature of the book is the excellence of the reproductions. Special arrangements were made with museums and private collectors to work directly, from originals wherever these could be traced; in the other cases plates were made from rare early editions. Thus Beardsley admirers are offered not only the fullest coverage of the artist's work, but also the best quality of reproduction. In his brief lifetime of twenty-five years Beardsley developed a distinctive style that spread throughout Europe and the United States and continued to influence book illustration, poster design, and architectural decoration long after his death in 1898. Brian Reade contributes an illuminating biography and an engrossing analysis of Beardsley's aims and achievements as an artist. The introduction by Sir John Rothenstein, recently director of the Tate Galiery, London, and son of Sir William Rothenstein, who was a close friend of Beardsley, also throws new light on the artist and the taste of his times."

Offprint from the PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE, May 1854. 8vo., 6 pp. Later spine of green paper. A few light specks of foxing; single ink library stamp on the first leaf. Presented "From the Author" in ink on the top right blank margin. Fine. [with] Wood, R. [Rupert] Derek. J. B. READE, F.R.S., AND THE EARLY HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY: PARTS I. A RE-ASSEMENT ON THE DISCOVERY OF CONTEMPORARY EVIDENCE. PART II. GALLIC ACID AND TALBOT'S CALOTYPE PATENT. AND, THE INVOLVEMENT OF SIR JOHN HERSCHEL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PATENT CASE, TALBOT V. HENDERSON, 1854. N.p.: [The author], 1971. 8vo., [13] - 83, [239] - 264 pp., [3] leaves of b&w plates. Three offprints from the ANNALS OF SCIENCE, Volume 27, Nos. 1 & 3, March and September, 1971. Staple-bound in orange stiff paper wrappers, with cloth spine, printed label mounted on front cover, erratum affixed to inside cover; a few holograph corrections by the author, with his corrected address label affixed. Fine. The Reverend J. B. Read (1801 - 1870) began his experiments in chemistry at an early age. An 1839 letter which he wrote to his brother, which was quoted by Sir David Brewster in 1847, describes a photographic process involving silver nitrate and gallic acid, which was fixed with "hypo" (sodium hyposulfite). As a result, Brewster asserted that Reade's experiments predated Talbot's caloype patent and were so credited in the early histories. In this letter to Robert Hunt, the photographer and historian who penned the first English book on photography, " A Popular Treatise on the Art of Photography (1841)", Reade stakes his claim as one of the early inventors of the medium. The three offprints by Derek Wood provided an in-depth history of Reade's actual experiments and contributions and correct the prior misconceptions of chronological events. Roosen and Salu No. 9204 and 9205. OCLC does not locate Reade's offprint and lists the George Eastman House, the Public Records Office U.K., and the National Art Library, Victoria & Albert Museum as the only holders of the volume by Derek Wood.…
