Bound without leaves D10-E3, a total of six leaves.Madame de Sevigne is one of the most noted letter writers of all time, providing a fascinating first-hand insight into French life and court in the seventeenth century. Most of the letters were written to her daughter Francoise-Marguerite de Sevigne, the Countess de Grignan, the letters spanning almost thirty years. Knowing that her letters were being copied and circulated, Marie carefully censored them to provide a little bit of privacy. Some of the new additions in this volume were sent to Sevigne's granddaughter.Marie Sevigne, is best known for her thorough documentation of life in the court of Louis XIV, and general aristocratic life in the seventeenth century. She was a prolific letter writer, and her letters show a very interesting insight into that period in history. As Marie was widowed at a young age, and never remarried, she had an interesting and unusual life at court, as she was respected as a wife would be, but she wasn't hindered by living husband's demands.Marie lived to see many interesting events, including the trial and execution of Madame de Brinvilliers. Marie was also good friend with the author Madame de La Fayette, who wrote 'The Princess of Cleves'. In a full calf binding. Externally, worn. Front hinge has failed.

'This book essays to epitomise in part the experiences of a life-time devoted to the direct Study of Nature in her wilder aspects -- or, perhaps better expressed, in her wildest forms. Expressly avoiding "the line of least resistance", the Author's main objective has consistently lain in the direction of understanding those reclusive types of Creation which most bitterly resent human intrusion on their privacy, or those whose remote and inhospitable haunts are ever the least congenial in our comfort-loving age. Of many of these wilder creatures the life-histories, always neglected, have never hitherto been traced in detail -- perhaps they never will be correctly. Herein accrues one advantage -- that this book, whatever its shortcomings, is based solely on first-hand personal observation of subjects that are the least understood' (preface, p.vii). Chute further adds that the work 'contains much information on grouse, black game, wildfowl, salmon and other species. An interesting chapter on the history of wild bird protection'.

Santa Fe, NM: Twin Palms Publishers, 1998. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 124 pages. Artist Book. Limited Slipcased Edition of 150 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular Limited Edition of 3000 copies. The Limited Slipcased Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Ross Bleckner and Jack Woody: Oversize-volume format. The elongated shape captures on the page the mural dimensions characteristic of Bleckner's art. Black cloth boards with metallic-black art reproduction embossed on cover and titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Ross Bleckner. There is no text. Matching black cloth slipcase. Printed in gravure on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in Tokyo, Japan to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is outstanding in every respect. In pictorial DJ with white titles on the spine, as issued. Presents Ross Bleckner's "Page Three: Photographs". The first and only collection of photographs by the artist/painter. It is a pictorial autobiography-of-sorts and an ambitious (if also ambiguous) commentary on larger contemporary issues at the same time. It is surely more than interesting that all, not just some, of the greatest late-modern American artists (Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns, to name only four of them) are homosexual. Except for Warhol, none of them has explored the subject of sexuality in their work in any significant way, and they all stubbornly refuse to self-identify as "gay", a personal decision that has been bitterly criticized by some, but must surely be respected by everyone else who values a human being's, not just an artist's, now-beleaguered right to privacy. Bleckner is openly and proudly gay, and insists, not just suggests, that it is the central element of his art. His collection consists of original as well as appropriated images juxtaposed to dramatize, not just visualize, the extreme contrasts of the world that we live in today: Privacy versus public-ity, wealth versus poverty, peace versus war, health versus illness, pleasure versus pain, love versus hate, Life versus Death. There are many explicit photographs of his lover's penis, photographed in extreme closeups and in an unusual, imaginative, and erotic way. "Travels over the intimate contours of a lover's body and the pages of his daily newspaper [hence the title]. Collaged, blurred, inverted, enlarged, and cropped, the artist juxtaposes paragraphs of newspaper type with pictures that suggest his intent, but stop short of revealing a true purpose. At times, even when we are sure of what is before us, succeeding and opposing images intimate that all is not as it appears to be. An effort by the artist to suggest that all we reach out to and all we touch is the mirror that becomes us" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Ross Bleckner collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 150 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in metallic-silver pen-marker on the title page by Ross Bleckner. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.
