Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Repaired; Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Edges Lightly Soiled. Victoria and Albert Museum. SUB-TITLE: Eyewitness of an epoch. ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY: Mary Charles, From the Dutch Edition published by A. W. Bruna & Zoons, Utrecht/Antwerp, 1971. MOVIE TIE-IN: Eyewitness of an epoch is the title of a film on Daumier distributed by Nico Crama in Holland and by Contemporary Films Ltd., London. CONTENTS: Daumier and his times; Bibliography; Chronological background; Plates. EXCERPT: Honore Daumier was a French painter and graphic artist with a deep concern for the political and social developments of his times. Between 1832 and 1872 he drew, on average, two illustrations a week for Paris newspapers. Under Louis-Philippe, the Second Republic, Napoleon III and the Third Republic there were a great many suitable subjects (see Chronological background), although for thirty of these forty years the artist's freedom of choice was restricted by an official censorship. Daumier's varied oeuvre includes 4,000 lithographs for newspapers, and 1,000 wood engravings for newspapers and books. It is estimated that he produced 300 paintings and 1,000 drawings, besides modelling figures in clay. It did not all come easily ho him: he had trouble with the technique of painting, the art he preferred, and he disliked making wood engravings because he had to leave the actual work of engraving to others. However, he was in his element when working on lithographic stones, and it is with his lithographic work that this book is concerned . . . Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Descripción de la tienda

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.
