During the Depression, writer Erskine Caldwell and photographer Margaret Bourke-White spent eighteen months traveling across the back roads of the Deep South--from South Carolina to Arkansas--to document the living conditions of the sharecropper. Their collaboration resulted in You Have Seen Their Faces, a graphic portrayal of America's desperately poor rural underclass. Caldwell uses quotes from their subjects along with his commentary. Caldwell is famous for his fiction on these populations using dark humor as his brush on such classics as Tobacco Road and God's Little Acre. Margaret Bourke-White, who sometimes waited hours for the right moment, captures her subjects in the shacks where they lived, the depleted fields where they plowed, and the churches where they worshipped. Bourke-White was one of the original staff photographers at Fortune and Life magazines and she is best known for her portraits of world leaders.
Description:
Raemaeker's Cartoons with Accompanying Notes by Well-Known English Writers (G. K. Chesterton among them)
with an appreciation from HH Asquith Prime Minister of England
Doubleday, Page and Company 1917
Includes full page photographic portrait of Raemaeker, plus approx. 146 full page reproductions of his works which are provocative; often graphic and often in colors (usually muted). Many would appeal to connoisseur's of gothic art.
Louis Raemaeker was a remarkable man. Not only a skilled Dutch artist and cartoonist, but an outspoken critic of German activities through the medium of his biting effective cartoon art. His work was a call to his country men to get involved against German aggression and invasion.
Condition: Cover is falling apart- some foxing and several pages in the first section are loose. I've provided many pictures of his artwork so you can evaluate the condition as well as appreciate Raemaker's talents.

Wonderful book for the art historian. Very good condition. Black & white

"In a decade of service to the city of Venice John McAndrew established
a remarkable record ... It is no wonder, that when he devoted his efforts to
saving th artistic patrimony of Venice, he was soon the center of a young movement
... Together he and Betty undertook the restoration of the Nicopeia, the significance
of which is recorded here. ...casused the restoration of important paintings
in the Sala delle Quattro Porte .. Major & timely structural work in the
Jesuit Church was followed by renovation and improvements to the Scuolo

A sales book illustrating the pieces in this popular silver pattern. Serving pieces, tea and coffee sets, and, flatware.

You might also wonder how you've lived all these years without a food pusher. But that's only half the story packed in this small catalog. Each page has an illustration showing vignettes of the Pilgrims from the time of leaving England, aboard the Mayflower; the first Thanksgiving and many more.
