OTHER RESULTSLawrence, D. H Twilight in Italy Description: vii, 310, [3] pp. First American edition, with English sheets. The author's first travel book. In March 1912 Lawrence and Frieda von Richthofen Weekley fell in love. Frieda was married to a former professor of Lawrence's, and the mother of three children. The ensuing scandal drove the couple to Germany, joining her parents in Metz. The drama continued when Lawrence was arrested as a British spy then released due to the influence of Frieda's father. Shortly after that, they took a "honeymoon" walking trip across the Alps into Italy. Lawrence wrote a series of linked essays based on this trek which appeared as Twilight in Italy. The couple eventually returned to England at the outbreak of WWI, and were finally married in 1914. Spine is yellowed, with a few faint spots of wax residue on front board, foxing throughout. Hinges have loosened. Benjamin, Charles H. England in Lodgings Description: 97 pp. Signed limited edition of a privately published travel book. Illustrated with pen & ink sketches by the author and one of his daughters. Benjamin and his family spent the summers of 1897 and 1903 in England. This book includes unusually detailed descriptions of the family's train trips, living arrangements, and meals. Of particular interest are lists of what the family paid for meals, lodging and tips. A card with a printed poem titled Over Production, giving the author's justification for no longer sending Christmas cards, is laid in. A prime example of doggerel; the poem lists some of the excesses which lead to the depression, such as: "...Too many houses crowd the street and still the agents plan for more..." Rudofsky, Bernard Architecture Without Architects: An Introduction to Non-Pedigreed Architecture Description: 128 pp. With 156 black and white photographs. MOMA commissioned the exhibition Architecture Without Architects and this companion publication. Rudofsky encountered what he called uncommon difficulties in assembling the pictures to illustrate his study due the political barriers to travel into Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and China caused by the Cold War. This forced Rudofsky to use any existing pictures he could find, such as the aerial views of some underground communities in China taken by a German pilot in the 1930's. Boards are warped. Previous owner's name stamped on front pastedown and lower edge; notes and underlining in light red pencil. |
