‎When elephants come to town; A visual Anthology‎

‎, Cannibal/Hannibal Publishers 2020, 2020 Hardcover, 176 pages; English, 218 x 172 mm, with illustrations, Fine copy. NEW !. ISBN 9789463887519.‎

‎Through this extraordinary selection of photographs and accompanying text,we follow elephants on their journey from Ancient Rome to Coney Island and beyond. Across battlefields and city bridges, in railway cars and circus rings, adored, applauded and at times brutally mistreated, elephants have truly come to town.' - James Attlee When Elephants Come to Town: A Visual Anthology is a visual celebration of man's timeless fascination with the world's largest land animal through the medium of photography. The joy and excitement elephants arouse when they make an appearance in our lives is brought to life through a combination of iconic photographs by, amongst others, Garry Winogrand and unattributed, archival material. Rather than a series of contemporary nature photographs, the book is a collection of exceptional images from around the world of elephants in captivity, dating from Victorian times to the height of circus culture in the mid-20th century, many of them taken by anonymous photographers. Elephants parade through the streets and perform tricks in circuses and shows, their riders ranging from royalty to children, from showgirls to soldiers. In times of war they assist with logistics, shifting heavy loads, ploughing fields and hauling vehicles; in peacetime they add a touch of glamour and exoticism to locations as varied as casinos, hospital courtyards and amusement parks, and are in turn transformed into elephant-shaped buildings, mechanised automatons or balloons. In the essay that accompanies the photographs, acclaimed British author James Attlee describes the broader context of that relationship through the ages. In doing so, he doesn't shy away from describing the abuse and poor living conditions captive elephants have had to endure; at the same time he evokes the depth of understanding that can exist between man and animal, often in the words of those who have experienced it first-hand. Intensely nostalgic, often poignant and always fascinating, these images capture the complexity of one of the planet's most enduring inter-species relationships.‎

‎Luxury and Power : Persia to Greece‎

‎, British Museum Press, 2023 Hardcover, 240 pages, ENG, 255 x 195 x 25 mm, NEW, illustrated in colour / b/w, very, very interesting!. ISBN 9780714111964.‎

‎Luxurious objects are celebrated for their exoticism, rarity and style, but also disparaged as indulgent, extravagant and corrupt. The ancient origins of these attitudes emerged at the boundary between the imperial Persian and democratic Athenian Greek worlds. Luxury was at the center of the royal Persian court and behaviors of ostentatious display rippled through the imperial provinces, whose elite classes emulated luxury objects in lesser materials. But luxury is contrastingly depicted through Athenian eyes - within the philosophical context of early democratic codes and the historical context of the Greco-Persian Wars, which suddenly and spectacularly brought eastern luxuries into the imagination of the Athenian populace for the first time. While Greek writers rejected luxury as eastern, despotic and corrupt, the Athenian elite adopted Persian luxuries in imaginative ways to signal status, distinction and prestige. Under the Macedonian empire of Alexander the Great and its subsequent kingdoms, royal Achaemenid luxury culture would later be adopted and displayed by the Macedonian and local elite across the Greek and Middle Eastern worlds: behaviors of ostentatious display were a means to seek advantage in the new Hellenistic world order. Ultimately, this publication demonstrates how competing political spins woven around 2,500 years ago still continue to shape modern perceptions of luxury today.‎

‎, Cambridge University Press 1993, 1993 Paperback, 345 pages, English, 230 x 150 mm, text and some illustrations in b/w, book in fine order,. ISBN 9780521446051.‎

‎This exploration of sexuality and gender in Renaissance art and literature starts from an assumption that would have seemed unthinkable a generation ago: that the 'natural' phenomena of sex, gender and subjectivity are constructed rather than essentially biological or fixed. The essays rise to the challenge of producing a new post-Foucaultian history of gender and sexuality. All of them have been influenced by feminism, and several deal with women not just as objects of representation, but as subjects and authors in their own right. Among the historical issues examined are the production and suppression of women's voices, the relation between illicit sexuality and social order, the ambiguity of beauty, lesbian erotics, birth-imagery and the birthing ritual, the class status of women, the 'femininity' of masculine dress, and the sexual politics of courtesy.‎

‎Pelgrimstocht van Lissabon naar Sint-Jacob in Galicia in het voorjaar van 1594 / Jan Baptist Confalonieri‎

‎De pelgrimstocht die de Italiaanse geestelijke Jan Baptist Confalonieri op 20 april 1594 aanvatte, was zeker geen uitzonderlijke gebeurtenis. Vele duizenden Portugezen hadden voor hem de Cami o Portugu s gevolgd, van Lissabon (of elders in het land), over Coimbra en Porto naar het noorden, naar Santiago de Compostela, of zoals het toen genoemd werd, Sint-Jacob in Galicia. Bijzonder aan de reis van Confalonieri was dat hij er een gedetailleerd dagboek van bijhield, en dat dit bewaard is gebleven in de archieven van het Vaticaan. Bijzonder is ook dat Confalonieri een Italiaan was, en dus dingen zag en noteerde die voor een Portugees of Spanjaard te evident waren om op te schrijven. Behalve een Spaanse vertaling in een tijdschrift in 1964, bleef het dagboek van Confalonieri tot vandaag de dag onuitgegeven. Deze eerste uitgave in boekvorm is in 2003 volledig met de hand gezet uit de Goudy Mediaeval, met de handpers gedrukt op geschept Hahnemuhle papier‎
