The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue challenge the perception of artists as illustrators in the service of scientists. Artists’ printed images served as both instruments for research and agents in the dissemination of knowledge. The exhibition, displaying prints, books, maps, and such instruments as sundials, globes, astrolabes, and armillary spheres, looks at relationships between their producers and their production, as well as among the objects themselves. The story of 16th-century technology is enhanced by technology of the 21st, with interactive computers in the galleries, an interactive module on the website, and an iPhone/iPad application in iTunes.</p> http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=165 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=165 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 Saturday, September 10, 2011</br> http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=169 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=169 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 Celebrating books, book artists, readers and bibliophiles in the Great Lakes region.</p> http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=143 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=143 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 The New England chapter will be holding a one day &quot;unseminar&quot; entitled <em>New Tools: Marketing Approaches, Platforms, &amp; Technologies for Antiquarian Booksellers</em>, to be held Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. <a href="http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/abaapages/NewEnglandUnseminar">Click here</a> for more details! http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=149 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=149 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 Part of the Book History Colloquium at Columbia University. http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=147 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=147 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 Joel Silver of the Lilly Library will present:</br> http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=159 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=159 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 David Stuart, expert on Maya history and culture, will speak about the global hysteria surrounding the Maya “end-of-the-world” prophesies for December 2012.

Travelling up one side of the Scottish coast and down the other, Morton visited almost every nook and cranny that was Scotland.

On display will be some of the Bodleian's rarest, most important and most evocative items, from ancient papyri through medieval oriental manuscripts to twentieth-century printed books and ephemera. They will include Magna Carta, Bakshali manuscript (first evidence of the concept of zero), Handel’s conducting copy of Messiah, Shakespeare’s First Folio, one of the earliest medieval illustrated manuscripts of Dante's The Divine Comedy, hand-written drafts of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein , Kafka's The Metamorphosis, and Robert Hooke's Micrographia, The Book of Curiosities, an illustrated medieval Arabic manuscript, among others. They are arranged into broad themes: the classical heritage; mapping the world; the sacred word; the animal and plant kingdoms; works of the imagination; the sciences of observation and calculation; historical moments in time. Members of the public can give their thoughts on which of the library’s treasures should be put on permanent display. http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=184 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=184 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 New York has long held special appeal for the illustrators and writers of children’s books, both as a place to live and as a setting for their tales. Storied City displays original art from more than thirty-five picture books that examine iconic structures, diverse neighborhoods, ethnic life, urban transportation, and city parks.

The earliest and rarest materials range from a 1495 edition of the celestial works of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, to early editions of many of the most important and influential works of the Scientific Revolution by Nicolas Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Christian Huygens, Sir Isaac Newton, and many others. The collection also contains many of the seminal works of the European Enlightenment by Antoine Lavoisier, Roger Boscovich, Henry Cavendish, and William Herschel, as well as milestones of the period of the Industrial Revolution by James Clark Maxwell, Charles Darwin, J. R. Mayer, and Alexander Volta. Nearly every monumental scientific publication of the early-to-mid 20th-century—perhaps the most well-represented portion of the collection—is represented in rare off-prints of groundbreaking essays (some signed as presentation copies to fellow scientists by the original authors) and fine first editions, including the works of Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Ernest Rutherford, as well as Werner Heisenberg, Linus Pauling, and Edwin Hubble. http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=168 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=168 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 <p>One of the most versatile talents of the modern art movement in Germany, the American-born Lyonel Feininger (1871–1956) is celebrated as a master of caricature, figurative painting, and a distinctive brand of cubism, but he also created a fascinating body of photographic work that is virtually unknown. Drawn primarily from the artist’s own collection (now at Harvard University), this exhibition offers the first opportunity to consider his achievement within the medium. Focusing on the rich and productive period between 1928 and the late 1930s, when Feininger was experimenting with an array of avant-garde photographic techniques and printing his own work, these photographs range from early atmospheric night views made at the Bauhaus (where he took up the camera in 1928) to bird’s-eye views of New York City (where he settled permanently in 1937).</p> http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=183 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=183 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 <p>As an artist and writer of probing wit and uncommon humanity, Jules Feiffer has made a breathtakingly varied contribution to America’s cultural life. The Carle will honor his efforts as a children’s book author with this exhibition. Feiffer has excelled in journalism, in film, and off Broadway. The exhibition will focus on his equally prodigious talents as an author and illustrator of children’s books. Book-ended by his collaboration with Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth (1961) and The Odious Ogre (2010), the exhibition focuses on his own books. From I’m Not Bobby! and By The Side Of The Road, where Feiffer heralds “to heck with grownups,” to Bark, George where he aimed at taking the lid off the excessive worry. Feiffer found that picture-book artists and cartoonists lived by many of the same imperatives: the need to instantly grab the reader’s attention, the need to simplify without oversimplifying, and the need to keep the action moving. In sum, this will be a very lively exhibition. http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=195 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=195 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 The Art of American Book Covers 1875-1930 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=127 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=127 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 <!--&#91;if gte mso 9]><xml> http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=191 http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/event_fly?code=191 Wed, 16 May 2012 22:10:31 -0400 The Concord Free Public Library's William Munroe Special Collections is pleased to announce the library's forthcoming fall/winter exhibition and lecture series "Collecting Transcendentalism," a collaboration with the Joel Myerson Collection of Nineteenth-Century American Literature at the University of South Carolina.
