Small quarto (10" x 7") issued in original dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial representation of the ship Victoria blind stamped in gilt on the cover. Works issued by the Hakluyt Society, Third Series, Number 5. Translated and edited by J D La Fleur. First edition. In the summer of 1630, Pieter van den Broecke returned to Amsterdam after completing his fifth voyage overseas as a commercial agent for various Dutch companies who were then expanding their worldwide trading networks. Van den Broecke used this homecoming to compose a lengthy manuscript describing his experiences, and to arrange its publication in 1634. However, this published version presented his account in a highly abridge and significantly alter form. The present edition offers for the first time an English translation of those parts of Van den Broecke's original manuscript which describe the four trading voyages he made to Africa in the early seventeenth century. His manuscript is an important historical source because he was among the earliest of Europeans to describe in detail the communities he encountered in West Africa and Central Africa, and the sophisticated commercial strategies of Dutch merchants then trading on the Atlantic coast of Africa. This edition begins with an introductory essy presenting Van den Broecke's biography and places the writing of the manuscript within the context of his professional aspirations. The edited translation of Van den Broecke's narrative is extensively annotated with reference both to other contemporary accounts and to relevant modern scholarship. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.

(Wiki) ***'AMBIT started in '59; there were various impulses behind it. I'd been interested in the writer John Middleton Murray, who was married to Katharine Mansfield. He had run a magazine from about 1910 onwards for two or three years called Rhythm that attracted writers like D.H. Lawrence, and Katharine Mansfield of course. What was striking about it - you could look at it in the V&A library - was that Murray, who really knew nothing about art, had met a Scottish artist called Ferguson who was sending over from Paris artwork by "young" artists like Picasso, Miro, etc. They looked quite startling in this 1910 magazine. And the idea, that Murray never developed, of trying to produce a magazine that had literary and visual material really working together, came to me out of that. But the other initiatives were more simple. There weren't many magazines about then because the possibility of what everybody can do now -- produce a magazine from a 'desktop' in quite small numbers and for not very much money -- didn't exist. But electronic things were just starting to happen, and the first number of Ambit we partly set ourselves on a machine called a variotyper. It enabled us to paste down visual work of which we had some good drawings from an Australian artist, Oliffe Richmond, in this first number and enabled us to begin the notion of producing an arts magazine rather than the traditional poetry or Eng. Lit. magazine. I'd say there's still no magazine in the country that combines high class artwork, produced and found by Mike Foreman over the years, alongside writers who I think are exciting.'

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. COWLES, Fleur [Edited By] Foreword by Dominick Dunne [337] pp. Harper Collins Publishers 1996 First Edition In publisher's cloth clamshell slipcase 13 1/4" x 10 1/4" This highly sought-after volume detailing one of the most influential magazines of the twentieth century is now back in print at a newly affordable price. In 1950, Fleur Cowles established what would become one of the most important and talked about magazines ever created. Critically lauded for its sharp mix of clothes, literature, art, travel, decor, theater, and humor, Flair made publishing history with its combination of eclectic editorial content and lavish production quality. Recalled as "the first magazine that became an art form," The Best of Flair is a compilation of the magazine s best content as chosen by the woman who created it. Along with its distinctive production values, Flair also features interviews and contributions from some of the most noted artists and celebrities of the past fifty years, including Lucian Freud, Jean Cocteau, Tallulah Bankhead, Saul Steinberg, Salvador Dalí, Simone de Beauvoir, Walker Evans, James Michener, Ogden Nash, Gypsy Rose Lee, Clare Boothe Luce, George Bernard Shaw, John O Hara, Margaret Mead, and Tennessee Williams. Now, more than ten years after this book was first published by Rizzoli, and more than fifty years after the magazine ceased publication, this facsimile edition offers the same ingenious bookmaking of its predecessor, including multiple gatefolds with die-cuts, booklets, and accordion folder leaflets.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Periodical. Quarto. 120pp. Heavily illustrated. A bit musty. Cover with a split and a bit of loss at the spine, staples somewhat oxidized, modest interior toning, very good. Signed by John Steinbeck, editor Fleur Cowles, and contributor William Ward Beecher. The final issue of this very interesting magazine, sent by editor Fleur Cowles along with a warm Typed Letter Signed to artist William Ward Beecher to commemorate the collaboration. Fleur has Signed the magazine on the first page. Beecher allowed the use of a black and white reproduction of a Steinbeck-themed trompe l'oeil painting to illustrate the article "Tortilla B Flat: A Serenade to John Steinbeck Composed on the Typewriter," by Eddie Condon (also illustrated with a portrait of Steinbeck by Robert Capa). A note in Beecher's hand laid in says: "N.B. this copy autographed by Fleur Cowles is also signed by John and me-," and indeed Steinbeck has Signed above the painting and Beecher beneath it. Also laid in is a Typed Letter Signed from a Flair employee to Beecher, asking him to sign an agreement to reproduce the artwork. A 2001 letter from Steinbeck's son Thom, written to supply details about sitting for a portrait by Beecher, called the artist a family friend and that his father "maintained an abiding fascination for Beecher's work through the years. A half-dozen examples of the artist's best canvases still brighten our house in New York." A nice association.
