FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **Edinburgh: Otto Schulze, 1910. Copy no. 42 of only 75 for private circulation. Frontispiece portrait & 4 hors-texte plates + 25 pp. (6 blank leaves precede the text, and 6 more follow). About 22 x 18 cm. Quarter-vellum stamped in gold with gray boards printed in black. Top edge gilt, and other edges untrimmed deckle. Light wear and soiling. Both flyleaves browned. The plates illustrate Coverhead Bridge and Hubberholme Church (exterior, interior, and stained glass window), and the text contains a simple map of part of the County of York. This small volume, published upon the centenary of Falshaw's birth, deals first with the history of his family, from 1379, and his environs: Langstroth and Coverdale. A sermon by the Reverend W.A. Shuffrey, preached on September 29, 1907, tells us that "he assisted in making the second railway (from Leeds to Selby) that was constructed in England." Later "he was associated with the most famous engineers of his time—Stephenson and Brassey." An obituary from The Scotsman, 15th June 1889, notes, "Outwardly of a brusque demeanour, and inwardly possessed of a swift mental way of arriving at the heart of things, he was impatient of public palaver, and his laconic methods of conducting council and railway meetings occasionally staggered advocates of free speech." Only two copies located by OCLC (the World Catalogue).

FREE domestic & international shipping with direct order. **[1961-1966?] Following the merger of the steel companies Cornigliano and Ilva in 1961, the resulting firm, Italsider, needed a new visual identity. Eugenio Carmi was design director for Cornigliano and then for Italsider. He created a wide range of folders and labels utilizing both bright, bold colors and more subtle ones in geometric forms. This collection consists of 16 of those folders, unused, and in very fine condition, apart from lightly rusted staples in some examples. The book Design Coordination and Corporate Image by F.H.K. Henrion and Alan Parkin (London: Studio Vista/New York: Reinhold, 1967) devotes six pages to this work, including a color double plate illustrating 16 of the folders. Six of these examples appear on those plates, along with four in variant colors and six others not illustrated. Sizes range from 30.7 to 29.5 cm tall and 22.6 to 21 cm wide. Carmi has produced several visual books and collaborated with Umberto Eco on others. This is a small exhibit on its own.
