The plates by Ernst are photograms produced by the frontage process whereby paper placed over a textured surface is rubbed with pencil or other materials. They were reproduced in the form of negative photograms with the assistance of Man Ray, Ernst's friend, and reflect the latter's deep psychological involvement with bird imagery during the 30s. Rainwater, Max Ernst: Beyond Surrealism, 30: "rich variety of images and textures...The series is a prime example of Ernst's interest in exploring new techniques and technologies that were not traditionally associated with the production of 'fine art'. In doing so he also modified and extended his own visual vocabulary, thus keeping it fresh and inventive over a long career." Of a total of 255 copies, this is one of 200 on fine Bristol paper.

84. (PHOTOGRAPHY). SOUVENIRS OF TRAVEL IN ENGLAND, 1871. Two leaves with thirty-one contemporary original photographs mounted upon them; most are photographic portraits of noted political, cultural, and religious leaders of the day, while others show important landmarks or country houses. The photographs are pleasantly arranged on the pages in combination with an elegant script identifying the subjects, sometimes with an explanatory note, by J. H. Wolcott. In the case of Charles Darwin, Thomas Henry Huxley, and Archbishop Henry Edward Manning, each of their photographs is accompanied by an extract from their writings. Beneath the photograph of Alfred Tennyson is mounted his clipped signature: "I am, sir, faithfully yours A. Tennyson."

J. H. Wolcott compiled the album from which these leaves have been excised to commemorate a summer of travel with his brother and friends in 1871. Besides Darwin, Tennyson, Huxley, and Manning, he has chosen photographs of a number of other diverse and distinguished persons. Included are photographs of Queen Victoria, the Princess of Wales and her children, William Ewart Gladstone, Prime Minister, Robert Lowe, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Stafford Northcote, of the Joint High Commission, Edward Cardwell, Minister of War, Goschen, Lord of the Admirality, Henry Austin Bruce, Home Secretary, Charles Kingsley, author, Holman Hunt, artist, Charles Edward Pollock, a member of the bar at Inner Temple, James Martineau, Unitarian divine, Norman McLeod, Scottish divine and chaplain to Queen Victoria, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, a popular preacher and a convinced Calvinist.

A portrait photo of Charles Dickens, who had died in 1870, is placed next to a photograph of his flower-covered grave in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, marking the anniversary of his death. Other photographs of places include the "coronation chair" in the Chapel of Edward the Confessor, the "new" Albert Hall, Deepdene house and Abinger Rectory in Surrey.

The leaves are a heavy card stock; each measures 15 by 12 1/4 inches (38 x 31 cm). Three of the edges are gilt and lightly toned; the final edge has a thin strip of material, a remnant of that which had been used to hold the leaves in the album. Most of the photographs are approximately 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches (9 x 6.3 cm); although the photographs of Tennyson and Dickens are larger by nearly a third. A contemporary view of Victorian England, in excellent condition. To see an image of this item please go to the image gallery a our homepage at www.rarebook.com $575.00

112. (TROLLOPE, Anthony). A PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF ANTHONY TROLLOPE, REPRODUCED USING THE WOODBURY PROCESS. This is a handsome, undated image (circa 1880) of Trollope as an older man.

The image is sharp and clear, with very fine crackling to the surface in the darker areas of the image, and with a tiny spot to the background near the top-edge. The paper mount shows overall moderate soiling and a couple of edgetears. $250.00
