	BRANCH, MELVILLE C. An Atlas of Rare City Maps: Comparative Urban Design, 1830-1842 New York, Princeton Architectural Press. 1997. (ISBN: 1568980736) Hard Cover with dust jacket, Oblong. Cloth, gilt, 1 atlas (102 pp.), illus. col. maps; 33 x 37 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Boards slightly bowed (from improper storage). Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "The map-plans in this collection of forty cities in Europe, Russia, the United States, and Asia were first published in the mid-nineteenth century by England's Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. These maps were all commissioned and drawn within a period of 13 years, presenting a unique opportunity to compare urban development among 40 cities in 19 countries at one moment in time. An exquisite feast for the eye, the hand-colored, hand-lettered steel engravings are artistic masterpieces in themselves, representative of an era of exceptional artisanal skill. They are reproduced here in fine detail in an oversized format. The Atlas of Rare City Maps includes both well-known European and American cities such as Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, and Venice, as well as smaller cities like Calcutta, Edinburgh, Hamburg, Lisbon, Marseille, Parma, and Stockholm. An introductory essay by Melville C. Branch discusses the historical evolution of urban design, and provides a background on engraving techniques. Branch also evaluates each map-plan, remarking on the details of each engraving and the evolution of the forms of the cities, their histories, and demographic characteristics. This rare collection first appeared in its modern form twenty years ago in a limited edition (Arno Press); long out of print, this book has been much sought after by architects, urban planners, and map enthusiasts everywhere. Princeton Architectural Press is proud to make available once again this valuable resource. The first in the world to receive a doctorate in planning (Harvard, 1949), Melville C. Branch has been a pioneer in his field for half a century. He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the School of Urban Planning and Development, University of Southern California, where he has served since 1966. He is the author of over twenty books on urban and regional planning, including Planning Urban Environment and Comprehensive Planning: General Theories and Principles. / Melville C.

(ISBN: 029598502X) Soft Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Exhibition Catalogue, 123 pp. illus. (some col.), biblio.; 26 cm. Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Made in Japan: The Postwar Creative Print Movement," organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum and shown from April 29 through August 9, 2005. BRAND NEW. "This catalog for the Milwaukee Art Museum exhibition Made in Japan explores the creative print (sosaku hanga) movement which originated in the early 20th century, when Japanese artists sought to modernize their practice by embracing Euro-American concepts of originality and autonomy. The movement matured in the decades following World War II, when second- and third-generation sosaku hanga printmakers continued to experiment in stylistic, technical, and thematic terms. From the early 1950s, Japanese printmakers participated in a newly global art scene, achieving great success at international art exhibitions sponsored by the American and Japanese governments. The prints in this book range widely in treatment and medium, embracing woodcut, stencil, lithography, etching, mezzotint, aquatint, and screenprint. Included are essays by Alicia Volk and Helen Nagata and biographies of the artists." - Publisher. NEW.

	BERGMAN-CARTON, JANIS The Woman of Ideas in French Art, 1830-1848 New Haven, CT, Yale University Press. 1995, First Edition, First Printing. (ISBN: 0300053800) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Collectible, Cloth, gilt, xvi, 261 pp. illus. biblio. index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Most discussions of the representation of women in nineteenth-century French art have been limited to depictions of courtesans or women who were victimized into prostitution by the harsh conditions of urban working-class life. Janis Bergman-Carton argues that this limitation has obscured an equally historical female model - the 'woman of ideas' - who figured prominently in this period in the narratives of French national and sexual politics. According to Bergman-Carton, the period between 1830 and 1848 marked the first era of revitalized female literary and political activity after the Revolution, activity that was viewed as an invasion into traditionally masculine realms of culture. Within the newly developing arenas of the popular press and utopian socialist reform politics, the careers of women of ideas (such as George Sand and Flora Tristan) flourished. Efforts to neutralize the critical and financial successes of these women appeared frequently in the caricatures of Daumier and De Beaumont and, more discreetly, in the paintings of such artists as Ingres, Delacroix, and Corot. Bergman-Carton examines how this art represented 'deviant' womanhood and contributed to the cultural mechanisms that undermined the power and visibility women of ideas had achieved before the Revolution of 1848. / Janis Bergman-Carton is assistant professor of art history at Southern Methodist University." - Publisher.

	FICACCI, LUIGI Giovanni Battista Piranesi: Selected Etchings = Eine Auswahl der Kupferstiche = Une Selection des Eaux-Fortes Cologne, Taschen. 2001.

"One the greatest architectural artists of all time, and certainly the most famous copper engraver of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is most known for his terrifyingly original series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri d'Invenzione. In his own day, he was most celebrated for his Vedute, 137 etchings of ancient and modern Rome; so renowned were these startling and dramatic chiaroscuro images, imbued with Piranesi's romantic feeling for archaeological ruins, that they formed the mental picture of Rome for generations after. Indeed, Piranesi could be said to have shaped a whole strain of contemporary architecture, as well as the wider visualization of antiquity itself. In our time, he has had a direct influence on writers such as Borges and Kafka and on filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Greenaway. Anyone who contemplates Piranesi's etchings will confront the existential nightmare of human existence and its infinite mysteries. / Luigi Ficacci studied Art History in Rome under Guilio Carlo Argan. He is curator at the Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica in Rome and lectures at different Italian universities. The focal points of his research work are the issues raised by 17th and 18th century and contemporary Italian art." - Publisher. Fine.

The Atlas of Rare City Maps includes both well-known European and American cities such as Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, and Venice, as well as smaller cities like Calcutta, Edinburgh, Hamburg, Lisbon, Marseille, Parma, and Stockholm. An introductory essay by Melville C. Branch discusses the historical evolution of urban design, and provides a background on engraving techniques. Branch also evaluates each map-plan, remarking on the details of each engraving and the evolution of the forms of the cities, their histories, and demographic characteristics. This rare collection first appeared in its modern form twenty years ago in a limited edition (Arno Press); long out of print, this book has been much sought after by architects, urban planners, and map enthusiasts everywhere. Princeton Architectural Press is proud to make available once again this valuable resource. The first in the world to receive a doctorate in planning (Harvard, 1949), Melville C. Branch has been a pioneer in his field for half a century. He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the School of Urban Planning and Development, University of Southern California, where he has served since 1966. He is the author of over twenty books on urban and regional planning, including Planning Urban Environment and Comprehensive Planning: General Theories and Principles. / Melville C.

Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Made in Japan: The Postwar Creative Print Movement," organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum and shown from April 29 through August 9, 2005. BRAND NEW. "This catalog for the Milwaukee Art Museum exhibition Made in Japan explores the creative print (sosaku hanga) movement which originated in the early 20th century, when Japanese artists sought to modernize their practice by embracing Euro-American concepts of originality and autonomy. The movement matured in the decades following World War II, when second- and third-generation sosaku hanga printmakers continued to experiment in stylistic, technical, and thematic terms. From the early 1950s, Japanese printmakers participated in a newly global art scene, achieving great success at international art exhibitions sponsored by the American and Japanese governments. The prints in this book range widely in treatment and medium, embracing woodcut, stencil, lithography, etching, mezzotint, aquatint, and screenprint. Included are essays by Alicia Volk and Helen Nagata and biographies of the artists." - Publisher. NEW.

	BERGMAN-CARTON, JANIS The Woman of Ideas in French Art, 1830-1848 New Haven, CT, Yale University Press. 1995, First Edition, First Printing. (ISBN: 0300053800) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Collectible, Cloth, gilt, xvi, 261 pp. illus. biblio. index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Most discussions of the representation of women in nineteenth-century French art have been limited to depictions of courtesans or women who were victimized into prostitution by the harsh conditions of urban working-class life. Janis Bergman-Carton argues that this limitation has obscured an equally historical female model - the 'woman of ideas' - who figured prominently in this period in the narratives of French national and sexual politics. According to Bergman-Carton, the period between 1830 and 1848 marked the first era of revitalized female literary and political activity after the Revolution, activity that was viewed as an invasion into traditionally masculine realms of culture. Within the newly developing arenas of the popular press and utopian socialist reform politics, the careers of women of ideas (such as George Sand and Flora Tristan) flourished. Efforts to neutralize the critical and financial successes of these women appeared frequently in the caricatures of Daumier and De Beaumont and, more discreetly, in the paintings of such artists as Ingres, Delacroix, and Corot. Bergman-Carton examines how this art represented 'deviant' womanhood and contributed to the cultural mechanisms that undermined the power and visibility women of ideas had achieved before the Revolution of 1848. / Janis Bergman-Carton is assistant professor of art history at Southern Methodist University." - Publisher.

"One the greatest architectural artists of all time, and certainly the most famous copper engraver of the 18th century, Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778) is most known for his terrifyingly original series of etchings of labyrinthine and megalomaniac prisons, Carceri d'Invenzione. In his own day, he was most celebrated for his Vedute, 137 etchings of ancient and modern Rome; so renowned were these startling and dramatic chiaroscuro images, imbued with Piranesi's romantic feeling for archaeological ruins, that they formed the mental picture of Rome for generations after. Indeed, Piranesi could be said to have shaped a whole strain of contemporary architecture, as well as the wider visualization of antiquity itself. In our time, he has had a direct influence on writers such as Borges and Kafka and on filmmakers such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Greenaway. Anyone who contemplates Piranesi's etchings will confront the existential nightmare of human existence and its infinite mysteries. / Luigi Ficacci studied Art History in Rome under Guilio Carlo Argan. He is curator at the Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica in Rome and lectures at different Italian universities. The focal points of his research work are the issues raised by 17th and 18th century and contemporary Italian art." - Publisher. Fine.
