The American Film Directors 1977 First edition Large format paperback photography book
$29.00 Original price was: $29.00.$23.78Current price is: $23.78.
This is a “very good” vintage paperback coffee-table format photography book, profusely illustrated with black and white “on location” photographic portraits of American cinema directors who were alive in 1977. Laid out primarily in a two page-per person format, each segment with the portrait on the right and their filmography to date of writing on the left, occasional additional “blurb” included. 177 pages.
First edition.
The binding is tight, not split or creased, square. Upper text block edge shows some slight tanning. Front and back board covers close flat, front lower and back upper corners mildly blunted, with back showing some light diagonal creasing. Some slight surface wear on glossy boards, but majority of coating complete and no significant creasing. No loose, torn or folded pages, no writing nor tags or labels. Certainly an above-average copy for such a large, heavy paperback of this vintage.

Light The Industrial Age 1750-1900 Art & Science, Technology and Society 2001 Sealed new Andreas Bluhm Louise Lippincott Coffee table book
Synopsis: Of all the revolutionary changes brought about by the industrial age perhaps the most extraordinary and far-reaching was the transformation of light. Scientists described its hidden laws to the public for the first time. Artists found radical ways of depicting it. Inventors found new ways of making it. The lives of ordinary people changed forever as streets, shops, theaters, and their own homes were brilliantly illuminated, first by gas, and then, even more dazzlingly, by electricity. The story is told here for the first time in its entirety. The book describes the inventions still with us, like electric light, the microscope, and photography, as well as arcane reminders of a vanished world, such as the heliostat, the lithophane, and the magic lantern. It portrays a revolution in the arts: Caspar David Friedrich depicting twilight, the Impressionists conjuring up sunlight. And it debates the changing symbolism of light: the meaning of the Enlightenment, the light of God's truth, the nightmarish light of the furnace by night. Above all, it delineates the changing lives of people. Setting masterpieces of painting alongside contemporary scientific instruments, theater paraphernalia, and domestic articles, Light! captures the history of human perception, understanding, and ingenuity. 195 color and 100 b/w illustrations. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
