Paperback. Condición: NEW. 80 pages, illustrations (some colour), portraits (some colour); 18 cm. BRAND NEW. A fine copy. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. *** "Pictures with Purpose, the next volume in the Double Exposure series, explores images from the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture's collection of nineteenth and early twentieth-century photography that includes daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, cartes de visite, cabinet cards, cyanotypes, stereographs, and other early photographic forms. The volume looks at how early photographs of and by African Americans were circulate and used, and considers their meaning, for the sitter, for the photographer, and for the owner of the photograph. Particularly significant is how African Americans used photography to shape their image within and beyond their communities. Pictures with Purpose features images of unknown African Americans before and after Emancipation, including children, couples, images of young African American soldiers in Civil War-era military uniform, and African American nursemaids with their white charges. Also included are photographs of renowned African Americans such as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and Mary Church Terrell. Photographers include J. P. Ball, Cornelius M. Battey, Matthew Brady, Frances B. Johnston, and Augustus Washington." - Publisher. Size: 12mo.…

As one of the most historically intact cities in North America, Newport has a cultural and architectural heritage of national significance. Each of the city's districts has its own distinct character with street plans and buildings revealing the political, religious, commercial and artistic forces that have shaped Newport through the ages. Stately Colonial squares and bustling wharves, picturesque Victorian villas and scenic drives, opulent Gilded Age palaces for the few and electric streetcars for the many, and preservation movements to honor the past and modernist schemes for a metropolis of the future all tell stories of urban beauty and controversy, of eras of lavish building, urban decay and extraordinary revival. In association with the Newport Historical Society." - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.…

Hardcover. Condición: As new. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated paper boards. Book 164 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), maps ; 29 cm. A history of Japanese Buddhist art largely dating from the Edo period (1600-1868) to the present day, through the Newark Museum's collection. The text offers a concise introduction to diverse Japanese Buddhist practices and the central role art plays in them. Showcasing over 130 paintings, textiles, ceramics, and sculptures from the Newark Museum's collection of Japanese Buddhist art, this volume provides access to hitherto unpublished artworks. An essay, by guest author Dr. Ikumi Kaminishi of Tufts University, explores the tradition of illustrated storytelling (etoki) primarily performed by nuns in conjunction with painted narrative scrolls. Kaminishi accomplishes this through a detailed discussion of the Museum's complete four painting set of the hagiography of Tokuhon (1758-1818) while posing a Buddhist reading of ukiyoe the "floating world.".…

Hardcover. Condición: New. In Shrinkwrap. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated boards. 112 pages : color illustrations, portrait ; 30 cm. Unique features of this highly collectable volume are its special focus on Ebendorf's work of the last two decades, his friendship with collectors Ron Porter and Joe Price, and his activities during his time in North Carolina. Also of note are the inclusion of selected works by graduates and faculty of East Carolina University (ECU) jewelry program that Ebendorf led from 1997 to 2016; preparatory sketches by Ebendorf; and collages included by him in many of the letters and postcards he has written over the course of his career. Many of these letters feature printed ephemera, in addition to sketches. And it is this ephemeral and archival aspect of the Porter Price Collection which sets it apart from other publications on Ebendorf's work.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. Maroon covers with pink metallic lettering to front cover and spine. Cover in very good condition except for bumping to front lower corner. Pages clean and unmarked and filled with many photographs. This book is a biography of Marjorie Post, illustrated with a wealth of historical photographs, archival documents, exquisite works of art, and other souvenirs of any extraordinary life. As owner of Postum Cereal Company, and later a director of General Foods Corp., post wielded financial oversight of mansions on multiple estates, a yacht, fabulous jewelry, and an impressive art collection, capably creating and managing a twentieth-century life of luxury, complete with a butler, footmen, gardeners, and personal maids. But it was not Post's ability to read a spreadsheet for which she was often noted in newspapers and magazines. While her good works made the news during times of war and economic crisis, her social gatherings, clothes, four marriages, four divorces and her father's suicide go more ink. Her life, in all its honorable, glamorous, and painful moments, was syndicated news and not a private matter.…
