Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Zustand: Muy bien. 1ª Edición. UNA AMÉRICA DE NOVELA Editorial Sudamericana, Buenos Aires, 2001. Rústica con solapas. Estado de conservación: Excelente. 350 pp. Esta antología compilada por Liliana Lukin se concentra en el nuevo continente completo, desde la Patagonia hasta Canadá. Más que una visita a excitantes paisajes turísticos, el resultado es una historia de sangre en la que aparecen el exterminio étnico, las pretensiones expansionistas, las revueltas y las revoluciones. Pero también las selvas, los mares, la pampa. Y, por supuesto, el castellano en toda su riqueza. Desde las crónicas de la conquista hasta el principio del siglo XX, los fragmentos citan leyendas antiguas y modernas y registran las raíces de la literatura latinoamericana. Describen, también, la brutalidad ejercida sobre América en todos los tiempos: desde la tiranía de una naturaleza desbordante hasta la violencia de los conquistadores, pasando por las presiones inhumanas del capital, que siguen siendo un castigo feroz a nuestro continente. Liliana Lukin halló textos únicos, difíciles de encontrar, que echan una mirada diferente sobre una de las literaturas más diversas y vitales.ESTAIRACOND.

Hardcover. Zustand: vg-. First edition. Small octavo. xvi, 463, [1]pp. Period half pebbled brown-red leather over maroon paper boards, with gilt letter, ruling and raised bands on the spine. Speckled edges of book block. Marbled endpapers. Ribbon marker. Inscription in ink by Henry Cammas, dated to 1885, at the top of the half-title. The text volume only (with no photographs), of this noted work by Henry Cammas (1813-1888) and André Lefèvre (1834-1904). The work was normally issued with accompanying album photographs taken by Cammas, which constitute early photographic documentation of Egypt and its ancient monuments. There is notable variation in copies of the work, some in a single volume and some in a two-volume format, each usually including a different number of albumen photographs. The text here documents Cammas and Lefèvre's nine months of travels to the sites of ancient and modern Egypt in 1860. Following the title page is a dedication addressed to Mohamed Sa'id Pasha, administrator of Ottoman Egypt from 1854-1863. The final pages include a short glossary of works, and a table of contents. Text in French. Binding with light rubbing to extremities. Spine sunned. Light scratches to covers. Interior mostly clean with some sporadic light foxing, including to the title page. Book block tight. Quite scarce. Binding and interior in very good- condition overall.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 195x228mm; unpaginated: 16 leaves, ads to inside rear cover; 11 mounted b/w plates. A very pleasing production, with an unsigned foreword by Henry Moore (see Wilkinson, Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations, 2002, p. 14). This is Moore's first published statement on 'primitive art'. As he writes in his foreword, this is "the first comprehensive survey of primitive African Sculpture in this country". Moore claims that these sculptures "helped the artist to realise the intrisic emotional significance of shapes as distinct from their representational values", and that they possess "intense vitality" and are "dominated by sex and religion". Heavy textured card stock covers, stapled (staples showing faint traces of rust). A wonderful copy, noting only one or two very faint marks to the covers; internally fine throughout. A scarce and important document in the development of modern British art.

Important presentation copy of a very rare work on Egypt, illustrated with 102 albumen prints by Henry Cammas (1813-1888), one of the pioneers of Egyptian photography. The present copy was inscribed by Cammas as a gift for his friend and mentor, the famous Orientalist Koenig Bey (1802-1865). It includes more albumen prints than almost any other known copy.Together with his wife and his friend, the anthropologist André Lefèvre (1834-1904), Cammas spent nine months in Egypt in 1860. He lived on a boat on the Nile and photographed sites along the banks. "Although he was still using the waxed-paper negatives, Cammas' photographs are extremely sharp and show a wealth of detail. He most probably used this system - even though it was becoming obsolete - because of its light weight and easy handling, compared to the glass plate" (Perez). Cammas brought around 200 large negatives back to France and exhibited them on many occasions throughout the 1860s. "Widely acclaimed even eighteen years later, his photographs were still mentioned in connection with the scientific applications of photography" (Perez). The present work is an account of the trip. It includes Cammas' photographs, which depict, among other things, Alexandria, Cairo, Giza, the Pyramid of Khufu and the Sphinx of Thutmose, Karnak, Luxor, Silsilis, Elephantine Island, Taphis, Kardassi, Dakkeh, Maharakka, Amada, Abu Simbel, and plans of many of the monuments. The accompanying text was written by Lefèvre, and includes detailed information about daily life during their travels, Egyptian monuments, and practical advice for other photographers and travellers. The work was published in 1862 in two different editions, namely a one-volume large octavo, and a two-volume small octavo. Included here is the large octavo. It has an unusually large amount of photographs, as other copies we have been able to trace include either 81, 87, or 94 plates, although the Royal Library in Sweden appears to hold a copy with 104. It is unclear whether these are the small or large octavo editions.Mathieu Auguste Koenig, later known as Koenig Bey, was born in France, but left to travel through the Middle East when he was just 18. He settled in Cairo in 1827 to teach French, and was appointed tutor to the children of Muhammed Ali (1769-1848), the viceroy of Egypt, in 1834. Soon afterwards he was awarded the title Bey and was put in charge of the Translation Office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When Cammas and Lefèvre came to Egypt, Koenig Bey had become an important and influential figure due to his position in the Egyptian court as the private secretary to Muhammad Said Pasha (1822-1863), the next viceroy of Egypt, to whom the present work is dedicated. With an inscription from the author on the half title ("Hommage, Respectueux et reconnaissant à son excellence König Bey / Henry Cammas, le 17 avril 1863"). The edges and corners of the boards are slightly scuffed, the front joint has been professionally restored. The work is slightly foxed throughout, especially the tissue paper guards, the plates have somewhat browned.
