Hardcover. Condizione: VG. Light shelfwear/bumping. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated boards. No jacket, as issued. 79 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 27 cm. William Henry Fox Talbot, the English inventor of photography, created around 15,000 photographs in the nineteenth century, most of them attempts to produce compelling scientific documents or pictorial records of the world around him. However, among those that have survived are also prints in which an image has been obscured, obliterated or simply failed to register. Borrowing its intriguing title from a poem written by Talbot, this book features twenty-four of these prints, his most experimental photographs. Originally intended as test prints or creative exercises, all that remains on these shaped pieces of photographic paper are chemical stains or imprinted patterns or shapes. Offered to the reader as enigmatic physical artefacts, these failed or ruined photographs are here reanimated as objects of beauty, mystery and promise, as artworks that speak of photography's most fundamental attributes and potentials.An accompanying essay illustrated with comparative images places these photographs in a broad historical context leading up to the present, revealing what relevance Talbot's experiments have to contemporary concepts of the art of photography. -- publisher's statement.…

Laminated illustrated wrappers with flaps, 4to, 29 cm, 360 pp, profusely illustrated, chiefly in colour. Published to accompany an exhibition held at the Morgan Library and Museum, New York, 6 June - 14 Sept. 2014, and the Bodleian Library, Oxford, 21 Mar. - 20 Sept. 2015. From the blurb:- "Genius is the mysterious pinnacle of human creativity, a gift that cannot be acquired through dedication and hard work. And while genius is difficult to define, we all recognize that elusive quality when we encounter it. This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, examines the various meanings of genius, from its ancient origins to its modern meaning. The Bodleian's unparalleled collection contains many manifestations of genius, whether the creative brilliance of Shakespeare or Mendelssohn, or the scientific innovation of Robert Hooke or Dorothy Hodgkin. Books and manuscripts which are works of art in their own right are a reminder that genius is not necessarily solitary and self-sufficient; it can equally be collaborative, and is always embedded in the tastes and traditions of its time. Marks of Genius also considers the relationship between genius and learning, and in particular explores ways in which the works of genius found in a university library can be acquired, collected and read. The re-founding of the University Library in Oxford by Sir Thomas Bodley in 1602 was itself an act of genius that had a profound effect on the world of scholarship. Four hundred years on, the Bodleian Library is an institution through which traces of genius run like a golden thread. If the various forms the character of genius has taken over the centuries have anything in common, it is that they celebrate the variety and creativity of human beings. From Euclid, Dante, Kafka and Handel to Einstein, Austen and Gandhi - and including such iconic pieces as Magna Carta and the Gutenberg Bible - Marks of Genius pays tribute to some of the most remarkable testimonies of genius in human history."

Square folio (259 x 237 mm), pp. [x], 261, [1]; 130 colour illustrations, many of which full- or double-page; red boards, title gilt to spine, photographic dustjacket.Richly illustrated throughout, this book provides a fascinating history of the development of bookbindings from Roman times to the present day.Bindings have been an essential and often beautiful component of books since the codex form was invented two thousand years ago. They make books work, but they also provide an opportunity for binders to display their skills. Until book trade processes were industrialised in the nineteenth century, every binding was a unique handcrafted object, no matter how simple or elaborate it now looks from the outside. Bindings have been made of all kinds of materials calfskin, parchment, vellum, ivory, even silver and embellished using many different techniques, to satisfy the wishes of owners from students to kings. The ways in which they were produced and decorated have evolved steadily over time, and many countries have their own distinctive traditions. Bindings may testify to the taste and social status of wealthy connoisseurs, or to the economic necessities of ordinary households. Because they can often be dated and localised, they also give us information about the histories of individual volumes.This lavishly illustrated book provides a fascinating history of the development of bookbindings from Roman times to the present day. Almost all the examples are chosen from the shelves of the Bodleian Library, showcasing the outstanding collection of historic bindings to be found there.David Pearson is a leading authority on the history of books, after a lifetime spent working with them, writing about them, and owning them.
