Très rare réunion, non suivie, de 235 numéros de ce très important journal bordelais, publiés entre le 30 avril 1791 et le 20 juin 1792, période charnière dans l'Histoire de France mais également dans l'histoire de cette publication. Publié du 15 mai 1790 à septembre 1797, le "Journal de Bordeaux et du Département de la Gironde" devient quotidien à partir du 1er janvier 1792, la pagination et la numérotation continue faisant alors place à une pagination et à une numérotation mensuelle. Ce journal remplaçait le "Bulletin, Affiches et Annonces..." que les frères Labottière avaient créé en mars 1790 "et auquel ils voulurent donner plus d'importance en lui attribuant un nouveau titre". Marandon en demeura le rédacteur jusqu'à la fin 1791. Le journal donnait les nouvelles de France et de l'étranger, du commerce et du port de Bordeaux, proposait diverses annonces, mais il devient également l'organe de la "Société des Amis de la Constitution", dont les fondateurs devinrent les futurs girondins (Vergniaud, Guadet, Gensonné, Ducos, Boyer-Fonfrède, Furtado, Marandon, Troplong, etc.). A la fin de l'année 1791, la société changea de nom pour devenir la "Société des Amis de la Liberté et de l'Egalité", mais c'est alors que le Journal de Bordeaux cessa d'en être l'organe. "Les abonnés trouvaient probablement la politique du rédacteur Marandon trop sectaire et les propriétaires du Journal, les frères Labottière, le congédièrent". Le nouveau rédacteur, Cornu (" de son vrai nom Jean-François Cornu de Boissancourt") est un jeune avocat parisien de 25 ans, qui mourra guillotiné sous la Terreur, le 24 juin 1794. Les termes de son jugement feront allusion au journal qu'il rédigeait "avec autant de talent que de feuillantisme !" Girondin indéfectible, Marandon l'avait précédé sur l'échafaud bordelais le 27 octobre 1793... Les rares recueils disponibles sont presque toujours lacunaires, notre exemplaire ne fait pas exception avec pour cette période environ 74 numéros manquants d'après la numérotation (16 dans le premier volume, 58 dans le second, dont 26 pour les seuls mois de mai et juin 1792), mais il n'en demeure pas moins un ensemble tout à fait remarquable pour l'étude de la Révolution Française.

(London, The Television Press), 1928. 8vo. Original illustrated coloured wrappers depicting a distinguished couple enjoying the opera transmitted on television, with the actual opera in the background. Richly illustrated throughout. A bit of minor spotting to front wrapper" all in all a very nice, fully intact, copy. 52 pp + one loose leaf: ""Supplement to Television, No. 1 - March, 1928"" (containing the article ""Seeing Across the Atlantic!"").
The first printing of the uncommon (especially in wrappers) first volume, first number of the world's first television journal, which contains many very important articles in the history of the development of television and which came to highly influence the use and spreading of the television as a broadcast medium.The journal ""Television"", ""The first periodical publication devoted to television, began publication in 1928, the year that marked the beginning of television's transformation from scientific curiosity to commercially viable broadcast medium."" (Hook & Norman, p. 205).The most important year for television as we know it today must be said to be 1928, the year in which it became certain that television could be more than a scientific curiosity, the same year that the ""Television"" journal, aimed at both amateurs and professionals and filled with commercials connected to television, appeared. ""In 1927 television was belived to be just around the corner. This imminence became a fact in 1928..."" (Shiers, p. 132).""Television"" served as the official journal of the Television Society, ""a combination which met the needs and interests of amateurs as well as professionals."" (Shiers, p. 132). ""Of all scientific subjects, perhaps the one which is creating the most interest in the public mind at the present time is television. It is, howevera subject upon which almost no literature or authentic information has been available, either to the interested amateur or to the scientist. It is the object of this, the first journal of its kind in the world, to fill this want, and to supply an organ the sole object of which will be to keep interested members of the public supplied with up-to-date and authentic information upon this new branch of science, which bids fair in time to rival wireless broadcasting in importance and popularity."" (beginning of the Editorial, by Dinsdale).Hook and Norman, Originas of Cyberspace, nr. 203, (1) (""A monthly magazine devoted to the interests and progress of the science of seeing by wire and wireless"" - the front wrapper of vol. 1, no. 1 depicted).

Copenhagen, Institute for Theoretical Physics, 1955. Small folio (A4). Blank wrappers, stapled under cloth back-stip. Stenciled manuscript. 48 numbered leaves with printing on rectos only. Illustrated.
One of the few scarce original stenciled copies of the ""Journal of Jocular Physics, Vol. III,"" the 1955-volume of the privately circulated amateur-comedy-journal that Bohr's students made on the occasions of Bohr's most important birthdays (beginning with his 50th in 1935), in this case his 70th. The ""Journal"" is an eclectic blend of funny and clever stories, songs, poems, aphorisms, humorous descriptions of recent developments in physics, etc., all written in an informal tone with the underlying subject being Bohr's birthday.Since 1929 most of the greatest physicists of the 20th century had been gathering around Niels Bohr for a conference in Copenhagen at the Bohr Institute. Since 1931 this conference had also included a skit prepared by the youngest of the participants, the ""Copenhagen Faust"" of 1932 being the most famous and important of them. It is this skit that later develops into the ""Journal of Jocular Physics"" which was prepared and compiled for Bohr's 50th, 60th and 70th birthdays, the first in 1935, the second in 1945, and the third (the present) in 1955. The 1955 ""Jocular Physics"" was the last of them. ""The early decades of the present century witnessed the heady development of the Quantum Theory of the atom, and during that era the roads of theoreticians of all nationalities led, not to Rome, but to Copenhagen, the home city of Niels Bohr, who was the first to formulate the correct atomic model. It became customary at the end of each spring conference at Blegdamsvej 15 (the street address of Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics) to produce a stunt pertaining to recent developments in physics.However Copenhagen was also the home of abundant humor. As a respite from the intensive and highly competitive efforts taking place to characterize fundamental interactions on an atomic scale, physicists took the time to develop satirical letters, articles, plays and other works."" (Gamow, Thirty Years that Shook Physics, pp. 167-68).In his Report at the Niels Bohr Archive Symposium, ""Copenhagen' and beyond: Drama meets history of science"", Yu.V. Gaponov accounts for the history of ""physical art"": ""The 1950s and 1960s were the golden age of the utmost prosperity in Physics. The atomic revolution having opened for the scientists a new world of quanta led soon to the nuclear fission discovery and to the first steps in techniques to dominate the atomic energy. The realization of national atomic programs which first took place in USA and then in Russia (USSR) and Great Britain had attracted the whole world's attention and placed Physics and the natural sciences in general in a top position. Being concerned with matters of physics became then exclusive and prestigious and physicists as individuals attracted the society's attention. They became heroes of literature, theater, movies, press. This process was observed in many advanced countries. It was also typical for the former USSR of those times, although owing to special social circumstances it had acquired some particular forms. One such form was the creation of ""Physical Art"" traditions... The birth of these traditions is commonly associated with the appearance at MSU PhysFac in 1960 of a Student Humor Festival called ""Birthday of Archimedes"" (later ""Physics Day"") along with a comic buffoonery opera ""Archimedes"" (authors - physicists and poets V. Kaner, V. Milyaev). However, MSU physicists consider the ""Physical Art"" traditions to have started earlier. Here are some remarkable milestones: In 1932 the well known ""Faust"" jocular opera and in 1935 the special issue of the ""Jocular Physics"" journal were written by some eminent physicists in connection with the 50th birthday of Niels Bohr.""The present 1955-volume contains numerous very funny contributions by physicists around Bohr, all based on physics humour, physics word-games etc. We have for instance ""A Voyage to Laplacia"" by L. Rosenfeld, a ""Confidential"" report ""Standardization of (physics) Papers"" by J. Lindhard,""Broken English"" by H.B.G. Casimir (""There exists today a universal language that is spoken and understood almost everywhere: it is Broken English. I am not referring to Pidgin English a highly formalized and restricted branch of B.E. but to the much more general language that is used by waiters in Hawai, prostitutes in Paris and ambassadors in Washington, by business-men from Buenos Aires, by scientists at international meetings and by dirty-postcard-peddlers in Greece, in short honourable people like myself all over the world..."" (p. 14), aphorisms (like: ""One Bohr can answer more questions than 10 philosophers can ask"", """"I will have to sleep on that"" the physicist said, he lay down on the floor"", etc.), ""A Remarkable ""V-event"""" by M. Sheep, ""The Heart on the other Side"" by G. Gamow (""""But father will never give his consent... He is looking for a son-in-law who can help him in his business, and eventually take it over. You can't possibly qualify for that, can you?"" ""No, I guess I can't,"" agreed Stan Situs sadly. ""I cannot possibly see how the kind of mathematics I am doing or, in fact, ANY kind of mathematics can help the production and selling of shoes...""), the poem ""The Atom that Bohr Built"", etc. The ""Journal of Jocular Physics"" is an important document portraying both one of the main physical centres of this physically important period and how one of the greatest scientific minds of the 20th century was viewed by his students and collaborators - as being not only brilliant in his field of research but also as a funny, likeable and sympathetic person.
