Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Illustrated by (dj and decorations) Alexey Brodovitch (illustrator). 3rd printing. (no dust jacket) [nice-looking copy, minor shelfwear, light dust-darkening to top edge of text block, one-time owner's signature at top of front endpaper, small illustration on page following title page has been neatly colored-in by hand]. The brilliant Miss Hawes's first book, in which she "tells what is wrong with the fashion racket -- and what women can do about it," has become an enduring classic. Her approach and attitude are pretty much summed up by the titles (and one-line summaries) of the book's two sections: Part I, "The French Legend" ("All beautiful clothes are made in the houses of the French Couturières and all women want them."); and Part II, "Buy American" ("All American women can have beautiful clothes."). Hawes was an early and outspoken champion of economical, ready-to-wear fashions for both women and men; her book is in part dedicated "to the future designers of mass-produced clothes the world over.".

Hardcover. Condition: New. Alexey Brodovitchâs Ballet is a legend â" one of the most influential and coveted works in the history of the photobook, but so rare that many connoisseurs have never seen a copy of the original edition, much less held it in their own hands. It has been conjured in the imagination and hinted at through documentation, but it remains more of a mystery than a reality for many.\n\nBrodovitchâs aim was to capture dance in the spontaneous, living present. Free of all artistic preconceptions and working with a sense of existential imperative, he immersed himself over a span of five years in the final performances of the Ballets Russes on tour in America. These included productions of Bronislava Nijinskaâs âLes Cents Baisersâ and âLes Noces;â George Balanchineâs âLa Concurrenceâ and âCotillon;â and Leonide Massineâs âSymphonie Fantastique,â âLe Tricorne,â âLa Boutique Fantasque,â âSeptià me Symphonie,â and âChoreartium;â as well as âLe Lac des Cygnesâ (after Petipa) and âLes Sylphidesâ (after Fokine). By the time the book was published in 1945, the arc of the revolutionary dance tradition ignited by Sergei Diaghilev and carried on by his artistic heirs had reached its end.\n\nIn Ballet, Brodovitch engaged the image and the book form in ways that continue to fascinate. Printing, however, played an equally decisive role in his experiment. He intensified the grain of his photographic film with an experimental gravure printing method that was risky and unpredictable. The improvised process required the printer to be totally engaged in the moment of creation â" analogous to a dancer in performance. His every decision and challenge would be captured on the pages. The inking and scraping mechanisms of the rotogravure press were used to mark the action of dance aggressively across the broad spreads of the book, producing images that often resemble drawings more than photographs. Stray smudges, streaks, and blotches of ink were accepted, and even embraced. Plates wore down, and ink levels fluctuated to the extreme. The exact marks left on the pages â" which might be considered flaws in a different production context â" were not as important as the fact that they were present and visible as honest and spontaneous marks of the moment of creation.\n\nOn the eve of the 80th anniversary of the publication of Ballet, Little Steidlâs reissue brings Brodovitchâs masterpiece back to life in all its material intensity with an experimental five-tone printing method developed specially for the project. The bespoke technique, which pushes the technical limits of offset-lithography to extremes, was developed and carried out by Nina Holland with the intention of reanimating not only the visual intensity of the 1945 edition, but also the risk and spontaneity of Brodovitchâs experiment. In a separate booklet accompanying the reissue, Holland and co-editor Joshua Chuang deliver a previously unknown story about the 1945 production â" drawn from their forensic study of the original edition â" that suggests Brodovitchâs artistic achievement should be viewed not just as one of the highlights, but as a singularly radical work in the history of the photographic book and printing.\n\nBallet\n104 Photographs by Alexey Brodovitch; text by Edwin Denby\nReissue of the 1945 edition\n\nAlexey Brodovitchâs Ballet was first published in 1945 in an edition of 500 by J. J. Augustin in New York. The process of reconstructing the work is discussed in detail by the editors in the accompanying text booklet.\n\nBook: hardcover (Steifbroschur) with a stitched book block, exposed coverboards, and a buckram-covered spine; French-wrap dust jacket; 28.3 x 21.6 x 2 cm; 144 pages; 104 five-tone images; text in English.\n\nHand-stitched text booklet: 28 x 21.5 cm; 16 pages; text by the editors in English.\nPortfolio box: 29.5 x 22.6 x 2.6 cm.\nTotal weight: 1.1 kg / 2.4 lbs.\n\nEditors: Nina Holland and Joshua Chuang\nDesign: Alexey Brodovitch (1945), adapted by Nina Holland (2024)\nHeidelberg drum scans: Nina Holland / Little Steidl\nFive-tone separations: Nina Holland / Little Steidl\nOffset-lithographic printing: Nina Holland / Little Steidl\nBinding: Sandra Roth / Kà hler & Roth Buchbinderei, Rodgau\n\nPublisher: Little Steidl\nNovember 2024\nISBN 978-3-944630-07-6\nPrinted in Germany by Little Steidl\n\nAbout the imaging and separations\nThis reissue was made using two disassembled copies of the original gravure edition. The gravure prints were scanned on a Heidelberg drum scanner so as to maintain their unique grain structure â" a combination of pronounced film grain, the gravure medium, and an experimental gravure printing method. This grain structure was carefully maintained and articulated in the five-tone separations developed for the offset-lithographic reissue.\n\nAbout the printing\nThe reissue of Ballet was printed by Nina Holland on Little Steidlâs vintage 1993 Roland 200 offset-lithographic press, which has many characteristics in common with the rotogravure press on which the 1945 edition was printed. Both have a maximum print format of approximately 52 x 74 cm, which allowed for an identical imposition of the press sheets in the original and reissue. Moreover, both presses are fully mechanical and controlled solely by the printer. Like its rotogravure predecessor, the Roland 200 has no control board, computer system, or automation, and the printing process unfolds as an intensive collaboration between human and machine. Although each press was considered technologically old-fashioned by the time it was used respectively for the production of the original edition and the reissue, this obsolescence made each suitable for a kind of artistic experimentation that would have been impossible on a more modern machine.\n\nFor the reissue, Holland developed a unique five-tone, wet-on-dry printing method to address the intense blacks of the original gravure medium.
