Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Landmark document by the Art Workers Coalition which compiled documents and correspondence aggregated to push for better situations for artists. 121 pages in stiff stapled wraps, this original is quite scarce in any condition, this copy being quite decent with one or two notes, most significant of which is a large stain to front cover, alongside some similar but significantly smaller and more faint iterations on front and back panel. Couple of teeny tiny dot stains to front and rear free endpages but hardly so and no other stains besides. Offset toning to full vertical length of front panel, also a bit around the very edges of the margins of the covers and to a lesser extent the interior pages. Staples rusted but still seem quite sturdy, and seems binding should hold well. Interior is clean and free of marks. Covers now in mylar.…

First edition. A magnificent grand-folio volume of finely engraved plans for a wide range of naval vessels, offering an exceptional survey of contemporary shipbuilding practice, here preserved in a handsome Victorian full morocco binding. The work is more familiar from later editions and facsimiles than from this impressive original format. Fredrik Henrik af Chapman (1721-1808), of English parentage and widely regarded as the foremost naval architect of his age, served as manager of the Royal Swedish Navy's shipyard at Karlskrona from 1782 to 1793 and was promoted vice admiral in 1791. Under King Gustav III, he led the modernization of the Swedish fleet, developing methods that surpassed existing practice and were rapidly adopted by the major naval powers. A commemorative medal of 1808 depicts Chapman in profile, with a ship's hull under construction on the reverse and the legend Famam feret per orbem - "It shall carry his fame through the world". Not all of Chapman's designs were realized, largely because of their ambitious scale. Among them is a proposed privateering frigate, conceived as a deep-water commerce raider, measuring 160 feet in length, displacing 750 tons, and intended to carry 40 guns and a crew of 400 - around five times the size of a typical privateer of the period, and twice that of French examples built during the Revolutionary Wars (Konstam & McBride, pp. 31-2). This has long been a scarce and sought-after work. As early as 1781, when Vial du Clairbois issued his annotated quarto edition, he observed that it was unobtainable in France and cost 180 livres in Holland, in sheets - worthy of a place in the cabinet of the curious, but beyond the reach of most purses. Its rarity may in part be explained by its practical use in contemporary shipyards: we have encountered another copy that was almost destroyed by intensive hands-on consultation. Provenance: John Scott Russell (1808-1882), engineer and naval architect, with his bookplate; subsequently in the Scott Library Collection of the Institution of Naval Architects (label recording its presentation in 1930 by R. E. Scott); sold Christie's, London, 6 November 1997, lot 24. "When John Scott Russell first turned towards the study of hydrodynamics and naval architecture, the only work of use he could find was that of Chapman" (Watson, p. 32); Russell's chief publication, The Modern System of Naval Architecture (1864-65), has been described as the English equivalent of it (Pugh & Baynes, p. 164). Russell's studies of wave formation and hull resistance "embraced a great many experiments, including tests both with models in a tank and with full-sized vessels on a canal. He attempted to translate what he called his 'wave system', or wave line theory, to the design of ships, and was associated with I. K. Brunel in the design of the Great Eastern steamship in 1856 which was built on his principles He also introduced the system of cellular double bottoms for iron ships, pioneered many improvements in marine boilers and engines, and was concerned in the design of the Warrior and Black Prince, the world's first ironclad battleships" (Kemp, p. 735). ODNB describes him as "a brilliant, intuitive engineer".
