Russian Ecclesiastical and Decorative Art Objects in the Collection of George R. Hann: Watercolor illustrations by A[ndrey] Avinoff. A total of 100 watercolors, each about 5 inches high by 3 inches wide; 84 of them mounted in two volumes, the remainder loose. 2 vols. Folio (13 x 11-H in.), n.p: 1944. Two full dark blue calf albums, gilt on upper covers and spines, patterned fabric doublures, linen hinges (to allow the thick volumes to open flat); fine condition. With the bookplate of George Rice Hann and that of the Library of the Westmoreland County Museum of Art in each volume. Mr. Hann’s own record of his distinguished collection. The two large albums have typewritten title pages, and consist of original watercolors, inset behind transparent protective coverings on the rectos, with typewritten descriptions of a high order of scholar- ship on the facing versos, each volume illustrating 42 items: crosses, medallions, mitres, lamps, censers and other liturgical items, as well as silver, Imperial china table services, a silver spade used by Alexander II in laying the foundation of the Odessa City Park, and other relics of a non-ecclesiastical sort. Andrey Arvinoff (1884-1949), a Russian artist who emigrated to America after the Bolshevik revolution, specialized in landscapes and portraits; he also had a successful career in commercial art. He was noted for his imaginative and skillful detail, art critics praising his “purity of line that can come from only the most delicate perception” and observing “like the other Russians who have come here, he loves to use details in wholesome quantities.” In the commercial art field, his nephew Alex Shoumatoff notes in the family chronicle Russian Blood, “his renditions of everyday household articles attracted attention as works of art.” In 1922 he was recruited by the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh to be a curator of entomology and in 1926 became the museum’s direc- tor. In addition, he taught courses on Oriental and Russian art at the University of Pittsburgh. He was the ideal artist to depict George Hann’s Russian objects, and his watercolors, done over pencil, are careful but not fussy; where, as is often the case, the objects are set with precious stones, his drawings shine with a radiant sparkle. a splendid, unique record of art treasures which is itself a work of art. Accompanying these volumes is the catalogue of an exhibition of Russian Icons and other works of art from Mr. Hann’s collec- tion held at Carnegie Institute in 1944. It is finely bound in dark brown calf, gilt device on upper cover; apart from a little wear to extremities, it is in fine condition, and displays some of the items illustrated in the two albums. $15,000 2 | james cummins bookseller the playwright henry arthur jones, by max beerbohm 3 BEERBOHM, Max. “Mr. Henry Arthur Jones.” Pen and ink drawing on paper, signed lower right (“Max”). Image 10-H x 8 inches, matted and framed to 17-G x 14-H inches overall, [London: 1907]. Fine. Rupert Hart-Davis 835. Henry Arthur Jones was an English playwright who, without reaching the heights of Wilde or Shaw, enjoyed three decades of almost unbroken successes, beginning in 1882 with “The Silver King,” the most celebrated melodrama of its day. He was brilliant, controversal, unafraid of unpopular social commentary, and a master of dialogue. He was, notes Kunitz & Haycraft, “a pioneer in the revival of the English drama after a period of decay lasting nearly a century.” This is one of five caricatures Max did of the playwright. $7,000 catalogue 121 | “the typographical masterpiece of the mission press” (forbes) 4 (BIBLE, Hawaiian) [Bible in Hawaiian] Ka Palapala Hemolele a Iehova ko kakou Akua o ke Kauoha Kahiko a me ke Kauoha Hou; I un- uhiia mailoko mai O na Olelo Kahiko.

This ‘stately volume’ was printed with great care on the finest available paper, and it was designed primarily to supply church pulpits” (Forbes). The translation of the Bible into Hawaiian was undertaken between 1828 and 1839; a duodecimo edition was published 1837-9 in three thick volumes. An octavo edition was begun in 1843, and this large format edition was produced concurrently: “the title page has been reset, and the text has been slightly repositioned to conform to the larger page size … the printing records of the mission show that this was considered at the time to be a distinct edition” (Forbes). Two printed leaves are inserted between the Old and New Testaments: the first headed “Moohana - Na Hanau” (births) and “Moohana - Na Mare” (marriages), and both side of the second are headed “Moohana - Na Make” (deaths). Forbes records the presence of these leaves in some copies of the octavo edition but makes no mention of them in his discussion of the quarto edition. The binding on the present copy follows that of the presenta- tion copy in Hawaiian binding in the P.M. Kahn colleciton, Hawaii State Archives, described as “the finest known copy of this edition” (Forbes).

His concerts in London in 1952 (the time of the writing of these letters) were an enormous influence on the emerging folk revival movement.

  • Global Environmental Policy with a Case Study of Brazil
    ENVS 360 Global Environmental Policy with a Case Study of Brazil Professor Pete Lavigne, Environmental Studies and Director of the Colorado Water Workshop Taylor Hall 312c Office Hours T–Friday 11:00–Noon or by appointment 970-943-3162 – Mobile 503-781-9785 Course Policies and Syllabus ENVS 360 Global Environmental Policy. This multi-media and discussion seminar critically examines key perspectives, economic and political processes, policy actors, and institutions involved in global environmental issues. Students analyze ecological, cultural, and social dimensions of international environmental concerns and governance as they have emerged in response to increased recognition of global environmental threats, globalization, and international contributions to understanding of these issues. The focus of the course is for students to engage and evaluate texts within the broad policy discourse of globalization, justice and the environment. Threats to Earth's environment have increasingly become globalized and in response to at least ten major global threats—including global warming, deforestation, population growth and persistent organic pollutants—countries, NGOs and corporations have signed hundreds of treaties, conventions and various other types of agreements designed to protect or at least mitigate and minimize damage to the environment. The course provides an overview of developments and patterns in the epistemological, political, social and economic dimensions of global environmental governance as they have emerged over the past three decades. We will also undertake a case study of the interactions of Brazilian environmental policy central to several global environmental threats, including global warming and climate change, land degradation, and freshwater pollution and scarcity. The case study will analyze the intersections of major local, national and international environmental policies.

  • Subhankar Banerjee Resume
    SUBHANKAR BANERJEE I was born in 1967 in Berhampore, a small town near Kolkata, India. My early experiences in my tropical home in rural Bengal fostered my life long interest in the value of land and it’s resources. In the cinemas of these small towns, I came to know the work of brilliant Bengali filmmakers including, Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, and Ritwik Ghatak. I loved cinema and found their visual explorations of everyday life and larger social issues immensely inspiring. I asked my Great Uncle Bimal Mookerjee, a painter, to teach me how to paint. I created portraits and detailed rural scenes, but knew from growing up in a middle-income family that it would be nearly impossible for me to pursue a career in the arts. I chose instead the practical path of studying engineering in India and later earned master’s degrees in physics and computer science at New Mexico State University. In the New Mexican Desert, I fell in love with the open spaces of the American West. I hiked and backpacked frequently in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah, and bought a 35mm camera with which I began taking photographs. After finishing my graduate degrees in Physics and Computer Science, I moved to Seattle, Washington to take up a research job in the sciences. In the Pacific Northwest, my commitment to photography grew, and I photographed extensively during many outdoor trips in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, California, New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba. In 2000, I decided to leave my scientific career behind and began a large-scale photography project in the American Arctic.
