        Espaces - 13 Dessins, Lavis, Aquarelles.

      Au Vent d'Arles, Paris. 1957 - First edition. Elephant folio. Préface par André Verdet. One of 300 numbered copies. 13 high quality lithographic plates, printed by Daniel Jacomet "sur papier à la cuve du Moulin Richard de Bas spécialement filigrané pour cette édition". The preface is printed is on three folded sheets of handmade paper. This and the plates are loosely preserved in a cloth and burlap folder the cover of which is a silkscreen which Braque especially made for this edition. Presentation copy inscribed to the Spanish fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, firstly by the author of the Preface: "Pour Monsieur Balenciaga en homage - A Verdet - 57" and beneath this by the artist himself: "Pour Balenciaga - G Braque - 1957". Very cleverly Braque incorporates an artist's palette into the initial "G" of his name. Balenciaga opened his first boutique in San Sebastián in Spain, in 1918, and then opened branches in Madrid and Barcelona. After the Spanish Civil War forced him to close his shops he opened his couture house in Paris, in 1937, where he remained in business until 1968. Cecil Beaton dubbed him "fashion's Picasso" and it was on Balenciaga's advice that the other great designer of the period, Hubert de Givenchy, produced a series of embroidered coats in honour of Braque and Joan Miró who were among the influences on Balenciaga's own designs. The plates and accompanying Preface are in fine state, on a very good indeed folder with cloth ties, which is a bit grubby at the edges but with the Braque silkscreen in very good state with only slight rubbing to the colours. The lettering of his name did not fully take to the material. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Hard Cover]

        The Diamond Smugglers.

      Jonathan Cape, London 1957 - First edition, early printing of the thrilling true story behind one of the greatest spy operations in history. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Boldly signed by Ian Fleming on the front free endpaper. From the library of Stanley Meyer, with his bookplate. Meyer was a Hollywood producer, who met Fleming in 1956. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Denis Piper. Introduction by John Blaze. Rare and desirable signed by Fleming and with noted provenance. In 1957, as the Cold War raged, Ian Fleming took a break from writing James Bond to craft a work of nonfiction every bit as tense as a Bond adventure. Aided by an ex-MI5 agent and International Diamond Security Organization operative going by the alias "John Blaize," Fleming chronicled the IDSO's infiltration of the "million-carat network"--the world's most notorious diamond smuggling ring. Every year, a shadowy band of racketeers pirated a fortune in diamonds out of Africa, and the majority of the stolen gems wound up in the hands of Communist nations. In response, the IDSO commissioned a private army, led by legendary British spymaster Sir Percy Sillitoe, to penetrate and topple the ring. And when the operation was complete, the Sunday Times gave the story to Fleming, who had impressed Sillitoe with his 1956 Bond adventure Diamonds Are Forever.

        William Blake's Illustrations to the Bible

      (France): Trianon Press, 1957. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake, William. No. 219 of 506, Atlas Folio - over 23" to 25" tall, 82 p. In his "Life of William Blake" (1863) Alexander Gilchrist warned his readers that Blake "neither wrote nor drew for the many, hardly for work'y-day men at all, rather for children and angels; himself 'a divine child,' whose playthings were sun, moon, and stars, the heavens and the earth" (N. B. info from The Poetry Foundation). William Blake (1757 - 1827) is arguably the most original and highly-regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries, he was held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work. Blake's work has been spectacularly reproduced by Arnold Fawkus and his Trianon Press, which has an undeniable claim to being the finest press of its kind in the last century and has long been known for their unrivaled artworks in fine colour printing. ***DESCRIPTION: Bound in half black leather, marbled boards with vellum tips, gilt lettering on spine, there are 208 entries in this list of all the tempera and water-colour paintings Blake is known to have made of illustrations of the Bible, all the paintings presently locatable are reproduced in small dimensions, with a few full-page and in full colour; frontispiece was printed in lithography by Mourlot, Paris, and Plate I in collotype and stencil by Jacomet, Paris, Plates II to VII were printed in colour collotype by Emery Walker Ltd., London, the monochrome collotype pages were printed in Paris on Arches pure rag paper by Trianon Press and Hourdebaigt; the collotype layouts were prepared by PeterBusche, the text pages were set by hand in 18 point Centaur and Colchester. Binding by the Wigmore Bindery, and Mansell Ltd. London; this book was designed by Arnold Fawkus, and produced and published for the William Blake Trust by the Trianon Press; pagination: half-title (i), colophon (ii), blank (iii), frontispiece (iv), title page (v), copyright (vi), preliminary pages (vii - viii), introduction (ix - x), catalogue xi - (xiii), blank (xiv), illustrations (1) - 53, colour plates (54 - 68); 22.25" tall, limited edition no 219 of 506 copies. Housed in a custom-made navy cloth clamshell box with two brass snaps and gilt lettering on spine, lined with marbled paper. ***CONDITION: Volume is in fine condition overall, with some slight wear to the corners and one small spot of soiling on the rear pastedown; box is also fine overall, again, slight wear to the corners. ***CITATION: Blake Books #681. ***POSTAGE: Due to size and weight, additional postage will apply; we are happy to ship at cost for both domestic and international customers, please inquire for details. ***Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

"Theron" sailed full speed ahead off coast of Antarctica. The Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition was the first overland crossing of Antarctica, succeeding in the 1950's what Sir Ernest Shackleton had attempted to do in his ill-fated expedition in 1914-1917. British Explorer Vivian Fuchs and New Zealander Edmund Hilary led the expedition. Previous to this expedition, George Lowe had been an important member of the the 1953 British expedition led by John Hunt that conquered Everest. For the Trans-Antarctic expedition, Lowe joined the 12-man party of the expedition leader, the British explorer Vivian Fuchs, which set out from Shackleton Base on one side of the continent, while Hillary led the support party from the Scott Base on the other side dropping supplies and establishing depots. Fuchs relied on Lowe's expertise to spot crevasses that were, Lowe later noted, "wider, deeper and harder to detect" than any he had previously encountered, and which posed a mortal threat to the tractors, dog-teams and snowmobiles they used to get around. In the event Hillary reached the Pole first, on January 3 1958. The teams met when Fuchs arrived on January 19, but while Hillary flew out, Fuchs continued on overland and arrived at Scott Base on March 2 after a journey of 2,158 miles. With other members of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition, Lowe received in 1958 the Polar Medal (with Antarctic clasp). He was also commemorated in Mount Lowe, a 3,000ft peak in the Shackleton Range.

Dedicated to the honour and glory of His Excellency Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Albufalah, Ruler of Abu Dhabi. 'A pacifist at Oxford in the Second World War, Fenwick Owen had eventually taken a non-combatant posting in the RAF which left him with an unlikely expertise in the building of airstrips. Thus he found himself in Das, a small but oil-rich Gulf island in need of a runway ... The stay in the Gulf also led to one of the more unusual episodes in a highly unusual life. Presented to the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi as an es-Sha'ir [poet], the closest he could get in Arabic to "travel writer" - Fenwick Owen found himself asked to compose an ode on the spot. Never a slave to self doubt, he responded with: "Through Abu Dhabi's golden sands / We walked and talked until the sea / Crept up and disenchanted me". Sheikh Shakhbut nodded sagely and declared Fenwick Owen his court poet. It was a post he was to hold for 30 years, becoming laureate in turn to Shakhbut's son' (Obituary in the Independent. April 7, 2011).
