C. N. Caspar Company Print. VG. No Binding. Circa 1900, sized 6 x 9.5 inches, on heavy gloss paper, generally very clean and bright. Paine, b. Painesville, Lake County, Ohio, October 10, 1827, was a lawyer and ardent believer in the anti-slavery cause. He gained state and national prominence in 1854 when he acted as counsel for abolitionist Sherman M. Booth in his trial before the state supreme court for violation of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. Arguing Booth's case chiefly on the grounds that the Fugitive Slave Law was unconstitutional and a violation of state's rights, Paine was successful in winning the habeas corpus suit before the state court. Although the state supreme court action was subsequently nullified by the U. S. Supreme Court in 1859, Paine's fame as a lawyer was assured, and in 1859 he was elected to the Wisconsin supreme court in which capacity he served from June, 1859, to November, 1864, when he resigned to accept a commission as Lieutenant Colonel of the 43rd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. Paine served with this regiment until his resignation on June 4, 1865, at which time he returned to Milwaukee and resumed his law practice. In 1867 he was reappointed to the state supreme court, was subsequently re-elected to that office, and served until his death.., C. N. Caspar Company, 3, London, England, UK.: Merrell, 2006. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. The book is in fine condition, little shelf rubbing apparent. Text and images inside appear clean and clear throughout. 'Since the Earliest Days of Photography, artists have directed models posing before the camera and, through th use of theatrical props, costumes, and lighting, have created "staged" photographs that tell a story. Acting the Part is the first major history of this enduring and higly creative branch of photography. Analyzing key works, form Hippolyte Bayard's 1840 self-depiction as a suicide by drowning to Man Ray's 1923 portrait of Marcel Duchamp posing as his alter ego Rrose Selavy, Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s, and Yinka Shonibare's 1998 Diary of a Victorian Dandy, it traces the genre from its mid-nineteenth century origins to the present day. Essays explore the Victorian album and tableaux vivants: painting and literature as a sources of inspiration; surrealist experiments in play-acting; strategies borrowed from and by film, video, and advertising; and the influences of contemporary performance art. Beautiful illustration range form the earliest salted paper prints and daguerreotypes to today's digitally manipulated images. The book concludes with 57 succinct biographies of the genre's leading practitioners' 176 pages. 9.25 x 11.25 inches. May require additional postage.

She is a former writer and editor for National Geographic and authored three books: The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey, a history of the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition of the Amazon rainforest in 1913-14; Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President, about the assassination of James A. Garfield; and Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill, about his activities during the Boer War. Destiny of the Republic was New York Times Best Seller. In April 2012, Millard won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime Book for Destiny of the Republic. The book received a PEN Center USA Award and the 34th Thorpe Menn Award for Literary Excellence. Derived from a Kirkus review: The shocking shooting and the painful, lingering death of the 20th president. As she builds to the president's fatal encounter with his assassin, she details the intra-party struggle among Republicans that led to Garfield's surprise 1880 nomination. The Stalwarts, defenders of the notorious spoils system, battled the Half-Breeds, reformers led by Senators Sherman and Blaine. The delusional Charles J. Guiteau, failed author, lawyer and evangelist, felt he was instrumental in Garfield's election and deserving of the consulship to Paris. During the months Garfield lay dying, Alexander Graham Bell desperately scrambled to perfect his induction balance to locate the lead bullet lodged in the stricken president's back. Moving set pieces-the 1876 U.S. Centennial Exhibition which Garfield attended and where both Lister and Bell presented, the deadlocked Republican Convention, the steamship explosion that almost killed Guiteau, the White House death watch-and sharply etched sketches of Blaine, the overwhelmed Arthur and portraits of the impressive Garfield and the insane Guiteau make for compulsive reading., Anchor Books [A Division of Random House, Inc.], 2011, 2.5<
