Hardback. Condición: New. Evergreen-the long-time home of the Garrett family in north Baltimore-offers a preeminent example of antebellum-American Italianate architecture. It also houses a remarkably diverse collection of over 50,000 objects, including paintings, furniture, sculpture, ceramics, and rare books. Acquired by two generations of the prominent Garrett family, self-described "collectors by instinct and by education," the assemblage of fine and decorative arts is remarkable in scope and inventiveness. Now part of the Johns Hopkins University, the mansion endures as a rare visual encyclopedia, representative of nearly all major architectural and design movements indicative of America's transition from a predominantly agrarian society to a world industrial power. This meticulously researched and handsomely illustrated volume honors the distinct and richly layered collections that characterize Evergreen. The book opens with a history of the philanthropic family itself, which helped run the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and develop many of the Monument City's most important civic and cultural institutions.Tracing their evolution as collectors and philanthropists, the book charts the family's artistic tastes and aesthetic sensibilities from the Gilded Age to the World Wars while also describing the physical landscape and architecture of Evergreen. The Asian Art section explores the world renowned Garrett Collection of Chinese and Japanese art. As one of the earliest American collections of Japanese art assembled, it provides an important insight into collecting habits of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among its highlights is one of only a half dozen examples of blue lacquer known to exist, as well as examples of Chinese Imperial porcelain. The Decorative Arts section highlights the furniture, textiles, and other applied arts largely commissioned or collected by the Garretts. Beginning with the Aesthetic Movement of the 1880s and the talents of renowned design firms such as Herter Brothers, Liberty and Company, and Louis C. Tiffany and Company, Evergreen's interiors have embraced each succeeding decorative trend-including the Bourbon, Colonial, Empire, and Renaissance revivals, the Arts and Crafts movement, and European modernism.The Fine Arts section showcases modernist art assembled by Alice Warder Garrett and her husband, Ambassador John Work Garrett. Credited as the first Baltimore "gallery" to exhibit a Picasso, Evergreen's collection of drawings, paintings, and sculpture document the couple's aesthetic appreciation and connoisseurship, which began at the threshold of World War I. Included are works by such artists as Pierre Bonnard, Jean-Edouard Vuillard, Leon Bakst, Miguel Covarrubias, Raoul Dufy, Herbert Haseltine, Amedeo Modigliani, and Ignacio Zuloaga. Evergreen's John Work Garrett Library, built between the years immediately following the American Civil War and World War II, ranks among the most extensive private American collections of.

paperback. 9.2 x 11.625 inches. paperback. 140 pages. Rare Books and Manuscripts from the Arthur and Janet Freeman Bibliotheca Fictiva Collection. Second edition, revised, of this exhibition catalogue, undertaken after the initial print run of 500 copies of the first edition (2014) sold out by popular demand. This revised edition includes substantive changes in the front matter and initial chapter overview of the collection that have been informed by the robust growth of the collection up to the present day, and by the anticipated 2017 publication of a further scholarly volume of essays inspired by the collection, edited by Walter Stephens and Earle Havens of JHU, and written by an international cohort of a dozen leading forgery scholars. In addition to providing a checklist of 70 treasures from the Arthur and Janet Freeman Bibliotheca Fictiva Collection, this beautifully illustrated volume includes five essays that explore the phenomenon of forgery as a creative literary form and provide an interesting and informative sense of the broader collection. With nearly 1,700 individual items, the Bibliotheca Fictiva Collection is the largest and most comprehensive collection of books and manuscripts of forgery in the world. Highlights include editions of Jesus' posthumous "Letter from Heaven," eyewitness accounts of the Fall of Troy, annotated books from Shakespeare's personal library, Alpine inscriptions recording Noah's settlement of Vienna after the Flood, and a first-hand account of the discovery of Homer's tomb. The collection was assembled over a 50-year period and acquired by the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University in 2011. This volume is illustrated in color throughout and was designed by Scott J. Vile at the Ascensius Press. Distributed for The Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University.

paperback. 9.5 x 12 inches. paperback. 122 pages. First edition. In addition to providing a complete bibliography of the Dr. Elliott and Eileen Hinkes Collection of Rare Books in the History of Scientific Discovery, this beautifully-illustrated volume includes narrative essays that put the books in the collection into their proper historical context. With well over 250 individual items, the Hinkes Collection encompasses over 500 years of printing history in the West. The collection is remarkable both in its quality and breadth of materials, and is distinguished by its disciplined focus on the true "Eureka!" moments that have permanently transformed our understanding of the natural world since the era of classical antiquity. This collection of rare books was donated to the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University in 2010 by the Hinkes family, and appears here for the first time fully described in printed form. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University's School of Arts and Sciences in 1964, and the School of Medicine in 1967, Dr. Hinkes maintained a private medical practice in oncology and hematology in the Los Angeles area for several decades, while also serving as an Associate Clinical Professor at UCLA. Dr. Hinkes gathered this rich collection over a period of two decades focusing, in particular, upon the history of astronomy and physics. However, his collecting interests were widespread, including mathematics, the planetary sciences, meteorology, biology, chemistry, optics, and technology. This volume is illustrated in full color throughout and was beautifully designed by Scott J. Vile at the Ascensius Press. Distributed for The Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Why was the Renaissance also the golden age of forgery?Forgery is an eternal problem. In literature and the writing of history, suspiciously attributed texts can be uniquely revealing when subjected to a nuanced critique. False and spurious writings impinge on social and political realities to a degree rarely confronted by the biographical criticism of yesteryear. They deserve a more critical reading of the sort far more often bestowed on canonical works of poetry and prose fiction. The first comprehensive treatment of literary and historiographical forgery to appear in a quarter of a century, Literary Forgery in Early Modern Europe, 14501800 goes well beyond questions of authorship, spotlighting the imaginative vitality of forgery and its sinister impact on genuine scholarship. This volume demonstrates that early modern forgery was a literary tradition in its own right, with distinctive connections to politics, Greek and Roman classics, religion, philosophy, and modern literature. The thirteen essays draw immediate inspiration from Johns Hopkins Universitys acquisition of the Bibliotheca Fictiva, the worlds premier research collection dedicated exclusively to the subject of literary forgery, which consists of several thousand rare books and unique manuscript materials from the early modern period and beyond.The early modern explosion in forgery of all kindsparticularly in the kindred documentary fields of literary and archaeological falsificationwas the most visible symptom of a dramatic shift in attitudes toward historical evidence and in the relation of texts to contemporary society. The authors capture the impact of this evolution within many fundamental cultural transformations, including the rise of print, changing tastes and fortunes of the literary marketplace, and the Protestant and Catholic Reformations.Contributors: Frederic Clark, James Coleman, Richard Cooper, Arthur Freeman, Anthony Grafton, A.
