In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. 32 superb nude figure studies by three London based photographers. 40 paginated pages : 32 illustrations ; 187 mm. First edition, second printing, "December 1941" t.p. verso. Illustrated boards in illustrated, unclipped, dust jacket. Dust jacket with…small losses and some closed tears to edges, boards underneath very good, no inscriptions. A contemporary review of this book: 'The photographer who wishes to make a picture that possesses an intrinsic worth must have the vital, elusive flame of innate artistic perception within him. It is not enough for him merely to possess a technical mastery of his instruments any more than a competent artist can become great who lacks the sixth sense of form that stamps a genius. The plates in this book show some of the most famous models in Europe. Not only do they each possess a face and figure which are expressive and photograph well, but they have the intelligence to co-operate with the photographer in producing the effect striven after. Only by this partnership between artist and model can a photographic masterpiece be produced. A painter can work with an indifferent model, because his eye comes! between the painting and the sitter. The lens of the camera has no interpretative power, and hence the photographer must of necessity impose greater control upon the model.' Quote from Anon feature in The Naturist, February 1942, pp. 48-49. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.

Previous owner's name in stamped in Japanese on the FFEP. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop who some years ago won her way into the Royal Geographical Society of England is well known throughout the English-speaking world and beyond as a traveler and a writer. Her "Unbeaten Tracks in Japan," and the account of her travels and experiences in Thibet and other parts of the East are generally regarded as standard works of their kind, and are read and quoted everywhere as authority. And now to these writings must be added another of the same general character and special valueâ""Korea and Her Neighbors." In this narrative we find that same painstaking and accuracy in matters of detail, that same power of graphic description, that same charm of style which distinguish all of Mrs. Bishop's writings. This work on Korea is without doubt the best and greatest work of travel, which has appeared during its publication year. It is the result of her experiences in and near Korea from early in 1894 to the spring of 1897. During this period it was Mrs. Bishop's good fortune to see the passing away of the old regime in the country and the dawn of a new social and political era; and it is our good fortune that these events should be chronicled by such a careful observer and charming writer.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Two scarce issues of short-lived Philadelphia literary magazine in the same vein as Harlem's FIRE!! Features work by Harlem Renaissance luminaries such as Jessie Fauset and Gwendolyn B. Bennettt, paired with lesser known young black authors from local public schools and nearby universities. Originally intended as an outlet for young black writers, it was seen as a way for older established authors to encourage and foster younger talent, with a slogan of "Hail Negro Youth," and a list of editorial staff and contributors being a veritable who's who of the Harlem Renaissance--Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Alain Locke and Arthur Huff Fauset. The June issue also includes a review of Nella Larsen's recently published novel Quicksand. Quite scarce. Signed.
