[New York]: Pooté Press, 1989. Limited Edition. Stiff Boards. Fine in Fine Metal Box. Limited Edition. Stiff Boards. "Henrik Drescher, born 1955, is known mainly as a commercial illustrator, working for Rolling Stone, Time, etc., and an illustrator of children's books, Simon's Book and McFig and McFly. However, throughout his career he has, and continues to, produce an immense body of work spanning painting, printmaking, book works and installation works. He describes his work as a "junkyard of the imagination." In particular his artist book Comeundone: being a complete and reliable descriptive collection of the perilous explorations and also important discoveries made in the wildest territories upon the face of the earth, encountering savage men, ferocious beasts, poisonous reptiles etc. etc. Et al. Covering period of twelve months 1988-1989 stands out as a prime example of Drescher's often cryptic, loose line drawings with text and photographic elements that emanate from his unconscious…

Description:
Portland, OR: Parasol Press, 2014. Limited Edition. Loose Sheets. Fine in Fine Archival Boxes. Limited Edition. Loose Sheets. A collection of 10 aquatints on Rives Paper. Leon Battista Alberti, renaissance scholar, artist and architect, coined the term Concinnitas to connote the beauty found in the confluence of perfect uses of number, position and outline. In 2012, Parasol commissioned ten mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists, including two Nobel Laureates and five Fields Medalists, to create etchings of the mathematical expression most meaningful to them. These formulae were then printed by the fine-art print shop Harlan and Weaver as aquatints, evoking the look of equations quickly and elegantly sketched in white chalk on a blackboard. Accompanied by an expository essay of each and description card, signed by each. Sir Michael Atiyah. Edinburgh University. Fields Medal Enrico Bombieri. Institute of Advanced Study Princeton. Fields Medal Simon Donaldson. Stony Brook University /…

Venice, Italy: Carlo Ferrari, 1936. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good in Wraps [Textblock Near Fine].. First Edition. Original Wraps. Text in Italian. Appears to be an exhibition catalogue. A remarkable collection (68 plates) of costume, furniture and paintings. From the library of Susan Mary Alsop. Born Susan Mary Jay in Rome in 1918, she was the daughter of Peter Augustus Jay (and Susan Alexander McCook) and granddaughter of Augustus Jay (and Emily Astor Kane), both statesmen, legates and/or ambassadors (in Europe, Asia and South America). The Jays, a Huguenot family, produced John Jay, co-author of the Federalist Papers, Foreign Secretary and the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Many of the volumes from her library were from that of her father and grandfather and are so inscribed (as noted). Susan Mary [Jay] Alsop, in addition to being one of the great political hostesses in Washington's circles, was an author in her own right, producing a noted biography of Vita…

London: Illustrated London News, 1949. First Printing. Staplebound. Very Good+. First Printing. Staplebound. The University of Manchester's SSEM (Small-Scale Experimental Machine), nicknamed "Baby," first ran a stored program on June 21, 1948, "thus claiming to be the first operational general-purpose computer." Burton, Christopher P., "Rebuilding the First Manchester Computer," in Rojas & Hashagen, The First Computers - History and Architecture (1950), p. 379. During the summer and fall of 1948, the Manchester team worked to develop a more practical version of the SSEM, the Mark I, eventually with the assistance of Ferranti which hoped to produce a commercial version. This article features five detailed photographs, including a remarkable two-page center spread with a numbered key to 33 separately identified elements, from "Power Supply Meters" to "Storage C/R Tube,'' "Multiplying Units" and "Interconnecting Wires." The photos were taken on December 15, 1948, and were of great use in the…

Hartree reported his experiences with ENIAC and touched upon the possible future applications of large general-purpose computers in science, medicine and economics". [Origins of Cyberspace 649] This work marks tipping point between computers being an academic and scientific curiosity to a tool which would revolutionize scientific research and the world as a whole. "This can be seen as the start of Hartree's work on bringing computers and their potential to the attention of the scientific community." [Dictionary of Scientific Biography]. [N.B.
