Cambridge University Press The Bewick Collector A Descriptive Catalogue Of The Works Of Thomas And John Bewick Volume 1 Cambridge Library Collection Art and Architecture
Book SynopsisThe names of Thomas Bewick (1753â1828) and his brother John (1760â1795) are synonymous with beautiful, delicate and accurate woodcuts of the natural world. Their instantly recognisable style was to influence book illustration well into the nineteenth century. The antiquary and print collector Thomas Hugo (1820â76), best known as a collector of Bewick woodcuts, first published this two-volume catalogue of his extensive collection in 1866â8. It has since emerged that many of the items sourced from printers' offices and booksellers across the country - including Thomas Bewick's own publisher, Emerson Charnley - cannot be authenticated as the Bewicks' work. The collection was nonetheless a remarkable assemblage of valuable materials, including uncut first editions, woodblocks, handbills and broadsides (all regrettably dispersed after Hugo's death) which might otherwise have been lost. Lavishly illustrated throughout, Volume 1 comprises the catalogue, which includes an appendix of Bewick poTable of ContentsPreface; List of cuts in the volume; Books and pamphlets; Proofs, etc., of the cuts in the History of Quadrupeds; Proofs, etc., of the cuts in the History of British Birds; Proofs, etc., of the cuts in Aesop's Fables; Proofs, etc., of the cuts in miscellaneous books and pamphlets; Prospectuses, proofs, etc., of the cuts for the intended History of British Fishes; Book-plates, etc.; Cuts for societies, companies, clubs, etc.; Cuts for exhibitions, etc.; Racing cuts; Shop cards; Invoice heads; Tradesmen's newspaper cuts; Bar bills; Coal certificate; Plans; The Royal Arms; Arms of Newcastle; Newspaper cuts; Broadsides, carols, etc.; The Chillingham Wild Bull; Bewick's lithograph; Miscellaneous cuts; Waiting for death; Drawings; Wood blocks; Additions; Appendix; Index to books and pamphlets.

Cambridge University Press A Bibliography of Printing With Notes And
Book SynopsisThis three-volume bibliography of printing was published between 1880 and 1886 by E. C. Bigmore (1838â99) and C. W. H. Wyman (1832â1909), who had, unknown to each other, been working on similar projects and were brought together by the antiquarian bookseller and publisher Bernard Quaritch. The scope of the work, which quickly became a classic, includes 'typographic, lithographic, copperplate printing, etc., with the cognate arts of type-founding, stereotyping, electrotyping, and wood-engraving', but excludes the topics of paper and bookbinding. The three volumes are arranged in alphabetical order of surname of author; anonymous works are ordered by the wording of the title. Compiled with the assistance of such historians of printing as William Blades and John Southward (several of whose works are available in this series), this authoritative work is of continuing value to bibliographers. Volume 3, published in 1886, covers the letters T to Z.Table of ContentsPreface; T-Z inclusive.

Hauntingly luminous.”—The New York Times Book Review“Exquisitely detailed, realistically portrayed hands of different ages, sexes, and colors demonstrate the positions for the manual alphabet used in American Sign.

University of Illinois Press Feminists Who Changed America 19631975
Book SynopsisDocuments the key feminists who ignited the second wave women's movement. This work tells the stories of more than two thousand individual women and a few notable men who together reignited the women's movement and made permanent changes to entrenched customs and laws.Trade Review"This is the first comprehensive directory to document many of the founders and leaders of what is now often referred to as the second wave of feminism, between 1963 and 1975."--Booklist "What a thrill to read a book that draws you in and helps you relive your own history! . . . This is a significant reference tool and historical record of an exciting time that many older readers of Affilia have lived through and younger readers need to learn about."--Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work "Extensive effort was aimed at including as many individuals as possible, with recruiting and information-gathering efforts taking place at conferences, online, by means of research, and by word of mouth. The scope of coverage is admirable. This work will serve as an excellent resource for researchers of second-wave feminist biography. Highly recommended."--Choice What is really remarkable about Feminists Who Changed America, . . . is its scope. It is the first comprehensive directory of individuals who founded and led the Second Wave Movement. . . . It is indeed a unique and very important addition to the field of women's studies."--Feminist Collections"No home, library, or school is complete without this guide to the women who looked at the world as if everybody mattered, and so began a revolution."--Gloria Steinem "This will be the basic text on American feminists of the late twentieth century. All ideologies are included. All ethnic groups, all aspects of the struggle. Activists, academics, sports and labor pioneers, writers and artists."--Kate Millett "Now future generations will understand how our social revolution changed the world (not just America) so quickly--because many thousands of angry activists fought for fairness and equality in every phase of public and private life. This book immortalizes their names, their lives, and their achievements."--Kim Gandy, President of NOW "These well researched and presented biographies of women and men who have worked for equal rights for women--one of the most important social movements in the United States and indeed the world--should be a godsend and a necessity for any student of American social history."--Carl N. Degler, Margaret Byrne Professor of American History Emeritus, Stanford University "With this amazing volume the contributions of more than 2,000 feminist activists from that successful juggernaut of social change known as Women's Liberation are set down for posterity. This is what a movement looks like, and these women are why our movement succeeded."--Susan Brownmiller "The tenacious men and women whose lives are celebrated here led the way to a social revolution that changed the role of women forever."--U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer "Although the second wave women's movement was the largest social movement in U.S. history, it remains the movement least studied--and the movement about which most false impressions remain. This compilation will become an invaluable resource for those interested in learning about the movement and correcting some of those false impressions. A truly impressive accomplishment."--Linda Gordon, professor of history, New York University "Well-behaved women seldom make history, 2,200 women and men finally are being acknowledged for changing the world."--Tuscon Citizen
