1730 1st ed Illustrated FOLIO Bible Overton EXQUISITE ART Theatrum PassionisJohn and Henry Overton were English print-sellers at the beginning of the 18th-century.

In addition to the engravings, this work is a complete New Testament Bible, with annotations of each book.Curiously, this work is a complete oddity. Research yields no clues to its origins, nor is it in any notable references.

1705 ART Lives Excellent Painters French Felibien Italian Renaissance Da Vinci
Andre Felibien was a 17th-century French art historian known for his service under Louis XIV of France. In the 16th-century artist Giorgio Vasari published 'Lives of the Excellent Painters' which greatly influenced Felibien, so much so that Felibien wrote his own version entitled 'Entretiens'
or 'Lives and Works of the Most Excellent Painters'. In addition to highlighting the lives of the great art masters, Felibien used this book to give prominence to local French artists.
This 3-volume 1705 edition contains seven distinct parts and features impressive, full-page engravings.

"Ocultando su identidad detras de su mascaras tradicionales, nativos del rebelde barrio Monimbo de en Masaya, preparan bombas de contacto para combatir el ejercito de la Dictadura, durante la Guerra de Liberacion." (Foto de Susan Meiselas) Rough translation: Nicaragua a country that discovers itself: Inturismo. Hiding their identity behind their traditional masks, natives of the rebel Monimbo neighborhood in Masaya, prepare contact bombs to combat the army of the Dictatorship, during the War of Liberation." Appears at first glance to be a tourism poster, but is seemingly an ironic parody of such. One of a series wryly praising colonial architecture and other similarly inappropriate national artifacts. Meiselas's image appeared on the cover of The New York Times Magazine on June 30, 1978 as seen here, and is… Read More
