The Dutch Treat Club, founded in 1905, was an association of individuals active in literature, art, music and the theatre. Originally membership was limited to men and the club's yearbooks included "naughty" stories about women and cartoons and drawings of naked or partially nude females. [The second illustration in this yearbook is captioned; "To Dumb Wives: Note: Beyond this page no perfect lady will go."] After a controversial 1991 vote to admit women as members, the yearbook somewhat cleaned up its act. Among the contents of the 1928 Year Book is a series of spoof illustrated credits, lyrics and choruses for musical shows. Good .

Japanese Tea Culture. Art, history, and practice
RoutledgeCurzon, 2003. Hardcover. Pp: 220. Often thought of as a rigid ceremony, Japanese tea practice can in fact be creative, critical, performative, or playful depending on social and historical context. This volume illuminates the diverse appeal of Japanese tea culture. The authors examine tea in its many guises, ranging from a strategy for forging political alliances and gaining cultural capital in the sixteenth century, to a means of constructing private and public narratives in recent decades. They consider the role of the tea practitioner as art connoisseur and arbiter of value, and the function of the tea gathering as an idealized social gathering. They explore how tea practitioners drove cultural innovation by demanding new styles of ceramics in one period, and utensils modeled on imported Chinese pieces in another The book also demonstrates that writing history became an essential aspect of tea culture through the consideration of forms such as diaries, memoranda, manuals, guidebooks, and twentieth-century film. One of the main goals of the volume is to apply a broad, critical gaze to Japanese tea culture while avoiding the ponderous discourse common in many English-language studies of tea. It aims to de-center the highly mythologized figure of the tea master Sen no Rikyu, while also disputing the fiction of the dominance of aesthetics over politics in tea. As a whole, this book will appeal to students and teachers of Japanese culture and history, tea practitioners, and collectors of ceramics and other arts influenced by traditional Japanese design. Individual essays will appeal to specialists in more narrowly defined fields, such as the art and history of the Edo period, the material culture of sixteenth-century Kyoto, or modern film studies.

APERTURE MAGAZINE. Complete Run, Issue #1 - #227 (Summer 2017)
San Francisco: , 1952. 1st Printing. Original paper covers. Divers paginations. Illustrated from photographs. Divers sizes. The first 14 volumes are housed in two custom grey cloth clamshell cases. The condition of the earlier issues show varying degrees of wear, from Good - VG+, overall a solid VG. The later issues, from the last couple decades tend toward VG+ to Fine. "The magazine was founded in 1952 by a consortium of photographers and proponents of photography: Ansel Adams, Melton Ferris, Dorothea Lange, Ernest Louie, Barbara Morgan, Beaumont Newhall, Nancy Newhall, Dody Warren, and Minor White. It was the first journal since Alfred Stieglitz’s Camera Work to explore photography as a fine art. The journal’s mission, as stated in its inaugural issue: Aperture has been originated to communicate with serious photographers and creative people everywhere, whether professional, amateur or student.. Aperture is intended to be a mature journal in which photographers can talk straight to each other, discuss the problems that face photography as profession and art, share their experiences, comment on what goes on, descry the new potentials. We, who have founded this journal, invite others to use Aperture as a common ground for the advancement of photography. Minor White was appointed by the founders to be the editor of the magazine, which was at first published out of San Francisco. The magazine's dimensions were initially modest (9 3/8 by 6 ¼ inches), and in its first two decades the photographs discussed and published in its pages were exclusively black and white (the preferred mode of most art photographers of the era). Many early issues were loosely organized around thematic concepts (such as oeThe Creative Approach” [vol. 2, no. 2, 1953], oeThe Controversial ‘Family of Man’” [vol. 3, no. 2, 1955], and oeSubstance and Spirit of Architectural Photography” [vol. 6, no. 4, 1958]), or were monographic publications (the first of these was vol. 6, no. 1, 1958, on Edward Weston). In 1953 the editorial offices moved to Rochester, New York. (White joined the staff of the George Eastman House, and in 1955 began teaching at the Rochester Institute of Technology) White was assisted with the magazine’s editorial and production tasks by Peter C. Bunnell. From the outset, the magazine was appreciated by its readers as oea much needed forum for serious photographers.” In 1962, vol. 10, no. 4, a monograph on photographer Frederick Sommer, was the first of many issues to be published also as a trade book." [Wiki] Here offered, then, is a complete run of this important & influential magazine, an absolutely essential work documenting the evolution of photography as an artform in the later half of the 20th Century, beginning of the 21st. Please note, this collection of Apertures, in its entire, is of considerable weight [100+ lbs], and the postage charge assessed on purchase will reflect this physical aspect.
