Borges de Figueiredo, A.C. and M. Alexandre de Sousa - Revista Archeologica E Historica, Publicacao Mensal, Volume I, 1887, Volume II, 1888

Lisboa, Portugal, Adolpho, Medsto & Ca., . First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Scarce in the trade, there being currently no additional copies available of this Portuguese-language journal of science and discovery, history and archaeology, much less a Presentation Copy thereof (see below). Two volumes bound as one, combining 1887 and 1888 in one volume. Marbled paper over boards, cream leather over tips, spine, gilt lettering over labels on two cloth labels in two compartments. Age-toning to text, very light soiling here and there, but marbled endpapers, very tight binding, and marks of neither highlighting nor underlining anyway. Five raised bands, very handsome volume overall. The tome came from the personal library of Amour-Auguste-Louis-Joseph Berthelot, Baron de Baye, born January 31, 1853 in Paris, died in the same city on August 21, 1931, a French archaeologist and traveler and who even contributed to one of the volumes (see below). A French-language Wikipedia article about him has it that â€oeJoseph” was the son of Auguste and Georgina Wilkinson of British origin. Wealthy enough to escape the rigors of military service, he eventually â€oediscovered” archaeology when on a hunt with his father. He began a collection of cut flint from the Plateau de la Vieille Andecy and began real studies at the end of 1871, and was eventually tutored by Father Alphonse Bordé (1824-1899). He participated first in an archaeological congress in Moscow, in 1890, and continued to do so until the declaration of the First World War. Arrested twice and eventually imprisoned, he was released in 1920 following the intervention of Natalia Sedova, Trostky's second wife. He enjoyed a long and distinguished career in archaeology and became president of the Société des Antiquaires de France in 1906. Pasted in is a fine condition short note to him from the senior editor, in French and in written with an extremely fine pen, and with his pleasantries and credentials added at end. Replete with black-and-white, monochrome, duotone and one full color illustration, being a folding map.

Aat Vervoorn, Peter-Louis Vrijdag - Dutch Museum of Lithography Nederlands Steendrukmuseum

Zoo Producties, 2024 luxury large-format coffee-table book, softcover, 160 pages, 24 x 32 cm (English-language edition) with a lot of visual material. about, among other things, the discovery of lithography by Aloys Senevelder in 1796, the history of lithography in the Netherlands and the rest of the world and many applications of lithography in everyday life such as calendars, maps, posters, tin packaging and cigar bands. ISBN 9789492172020. ¶ About 50 years ago, the 'stone age' of lithography and lithographic printing came to an end all over the world. Stone printing was invented in 1798 by German Aloys Senefelder and was an important complement to letterpress printing at the time. Images, first in black and white and later in colour, were much easier to reproduce lithographically than via woodcuts or copper engravings. The 'iconoclasm' that followed was unparalleled in scope and had a huge range of applications - from advertising and religion to journalism and art. The Dutch Lithography Museum in Valkenswaard displays not only all types of lithographic printing, but also the technique that made them possible. Since 2001, the museum has been caring for the preservation of this graphic heritage. It is a musée vivante, a living museum, with many attractions. Lithographers and lithographers give demonstrations and it is even possible to go to work yourself in the museum workshop. This book was published on the occasion of the museum's tenth anniversary.
