Zustand: Good. Wrappers. Oblong 8vo. Promotional booklet for the new Ford V-8 (eight-cylinder V-configuration) engine. With the original Ford-a-Scope 3-D glasses. Good condition, couple of creases in upper tight corner of front cover. We quote the following from a webpage devoted to cars in 3-D: "In the early 1900s, Alfred Macy founded an entity called MacyArt to produce anaglyph glasses and publications. He also licensed others to print anaglyphs through a company called American Colortype. This promotional book, "Look Through the Eyes of the Engineer," features anaglyph images of the new Ford V8 and was produced by MacyArt. The "Ford-a-Scope" 3D glasses were produced by American Colortype." This copy has the name and address of a Hoboken, New Jersey dealership in the blank space provided on the back page for advertising. Colors of the cover are very fresh; in examples on the Internet, the colors by comparison seem somewhat washed out. The cover art showing a couple looking at the brochure is a mise-en-abîme endlessly regressing picture, heightening the 3-D effect. A good copy with slight signs of use. Ephemeral.…

Promotional document for The Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, New York, "a school of modern art." Single large sheet folded to make four pages, 9 x 12" closed. Two horizontal fold lines divide the document in thirds, presumably for mailing or distribution. Outside pages consist of excerpts from Hofmann's Essays on Art, translated by Wilfrid Zogbaum, who studied with Hofmann. Inside pages consist of commendations of Hofmann and his teaching on p. [2] and Hofmann's thoughts on modern art and its potential in America on p. [3], the latter signed in type with his initials. Undated; the New York school functioned from 1934 to 1958.
