First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Anne Chalmers (Illustrator) (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. Text/BRAND NEW & Bright. First Edition, First Printing. Softcover/NF w/trace edgerubs. A superlative, modern archaeological adventure spearheaded in the 1980s by documentary filmmaker Nicholas Clapp. The search was for the ancient, golden laiden, sinful city of Ubar in Arabia that, according to the Koran, Allah caused to sink deep into the sands in punishment. There is much pouring over of historical manuscripts, piecing together of legend and lore, collaboration of geologists, archaelogists, and NASA radar imaginery, before sifting sands. Sucess came in 1992, and was front-page news. An exciting and masterfully told adventure.

Paperback. Condition: New. When is a landscape more than a landscape? This is a richly illustrated study of an important genre of Ming-dynasty Chinese painting in which landscapes are actually disguised portraits that celebrate an individual and his achievements, ambitions, and tastes in an open effort to win recognition, support, and social status. In this unique study, Anne de Coursey Clapp presents a broad view of these commemorative landscape paintings, including antecedents in the Song and Yuan dynasties. The book traces how in commemorative landscape painting members of the literati address their peers in a deeply familiar language of values, just as they had for centuries through literary biography. Although the setting for such pictures is always natural landscape, it is secondary to the man, and its true function is to mirror him as the humanistic ideal of the recluse-scholar. The book shows how the literary associations attached to the new landscape increased during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), when the first commemorative paintings appeared, and flourished through the Ming (1368-1644), producing an art form that was simultaneously pictorial and verbal.In the course of exploring the sources and meaning of these paintings, the book examines several varieties of dedicatory paintings, including departure paintings, and the interesting subgenre of "biehao," in which portrait subjects are symbolized through pictorial representations of their literary names.
