Network at Fifty, by Norman Corwin. Two trial copies designed & printed by Ward Richie PRICE $ 200.00 PURCHASE / MORE INFO View Member Profile A wide-ranging, sometimes surreal poem of human activity, our place in the universe, the future, and the Cyclops that translates it all for humanity. "Cyclops" is a metaphor for the "eye" logo of CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the poem was written for the 50th anniversary of the company. An excerpt of a televised walk in space and a walk on the moon: "No eye has roved like the video eye / Away and beyond the reach of earth / Out to the moon and onto it / Footprints in the primordial dust, umbilical walks in the deeps of space, / Sprayed on the tube in front of the chair or up on the wall in the bedroom." TWO COPIES of the book , both having the foreword by Robert Nathan, and both printed on loose leaves, folded once. Copy One is complete with all leaves tucked, unbound, into cream, brown, and blue French-flapped Cockerell and Son marbled paper wraps. A paper CBS “eye” logo label is applied to the front. 18 pp. Copy Two has no wraps, is marked "trials" in pencil at the head of the title page, unbound, and is partial, having 4 pages of the 7-page poem. Pagination is different from the complete copy, with the title page being a self-wrap. 12 pp. Both copies were obtained together, neither is signed, and are possibly trials or proofs for the author or printer. From a limited edition of 50, commissioned by the Invierno Press, and printed by the great designer and printer Ward Richie under his imprint Laguna Verde Imprenta. Richie had retired from commercial printing and design at The Ward Ritchie Press, so he and his wife Marka moved to their summer house. Since he had retired, Richie, of course, had an 1835 Albion hand press moved into their house and began printing this and other books for his own pleasure. Although not stated, the book's design is by Richie with the title page's 3-color illustration in a style reminiscent of other title pages designed by him. At once these are poetry, an oblique tribute to broadcasting history, and examples of Ward Richie's fine printing and design. Both are clean, sharp, and in Fine Condition.

Hand-coloured lithographic title page, followed by a printed title page, both dated 1840. 30 lithographic plates drawn on stone by Frank Howard and printed on large Columbier paper with lithographed tail pieces.

Ex Libris for John Knox Agnew with a gift inscription in pen, Patrick Agnew, with Love dad; . Title page partly separated from spine. Scattered foxing throughout on the text pages, but the lithographic plates are generally clean. The first book to be entirely dedicated to big game hunting in Africa, which subsequently influence a great number of hunters to travel to South Africa. Harris was the consummate hunter's hunter, shooting animals in quantities never seen before and never matched since, partly due to the fact that most of the game was gone in later years. The book is inspired by his hunting expedition from the Cape Colony going as far as the Tropic of Capricorn in 1836; 1837.One of the most important and valuable of the large folio works on South African fauna; .. In addition to the beautiful coloured engravings (sic) which render this work almost the most highly prized of the books relating to South African animals, every plate is accompanied by an exhaustive chapter upon the characteristics of the animal represented, as well as by a short sketch of its personal appearance. ; Mendelssohn, (S. ) South African Bibliography, volume 1, page 688-9.'One of the rarest of all books dealing with African big game and sport, this monumental presentation depicts wild game of southern Africa as encountered and studied by Harris. The tinted lithographs highlighted in colour by hand are especially lovely and make this volume exceptionally desirable. Included among the portraits are elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, lion, leopard, kudu, roan, eland, and quagga, among others. Each of the illustrations is also enlivened by scenic backgrounds of the habitat. The portraits are highlighted with Harris' detailed descriptions of the game, habitat, and with occasional mention of his hunting adventures.'
