Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very Good. See scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 1973. The May, 1973 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. "Science and Public Affairs" time period. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years… after the publication's inception - is not at this time period on the cover, but shows as twelve minutes to midnight on the contents page. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 56 pp. Very Good; modest soil and spots of external touch-wear, and a front-cover subscriber mailing label to a Hampshire College professor. Contents are immaculate but for dusting at last few pages. See all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change, and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Some feature topics in this vintage 1973 issue: Science Exits the White House; Nixon Reorganization; Icebergs for Arab Lands; Genetic Engineering; SALT; BEIR Report; Demophora; Solar Wind; more. See scan of contents page. Very, very scarce original monthly issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR52.

Contact seller4-star sellerCondition: Very good to near-fine. A very fine portrait of a woman rendered in oil paint on porcelain, painted by an artist named F.I. Weeks in 1903. The woman, who remains unidentified, wears a pink dress with her brunette hair in neat braids against a mottled brown background. Her clothing and affect date her from the 1860s, l…eading us to believe that Weeks has copied this portrait from an existing Victorian portrait that he had access to, perhaps to practice his craft. Interestingly, a soft raking light reveals that he at some point removed and revised the eyes of his subject-- perhaps to change the color, or better capture her expression? Weeks is not listed in Benezit (Grove/Oxford Art Online) and we have been unable to track down any of his other art. Porcelain tile measures approx. 5" by 4", with the oval portrait measuring approx. 3" by 2". Light graphite measuring lines visible along edges. Oil painting and portraiture on porcelain became increasingly popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries (roughly 1870 to 1920), due to the medium's beauty and ability to capture detail. It also lasted longer than canvas. Following the Industrial Revolution and the advent of affordable photographic portraiture (i.e. cabinet cards), such a highly skilled, delicate, and expensive means of capturing a likeness became highlight sought after by those in the upper classes with disposable income.
