    Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Author-signed first edition. Volume, measuring approximately 6.5" x 9.5", is bound in black cloth, with stamped gilt lettering to spine. Book and dust jacket are like new. Jacket is preserved in mylar cover. ix/178 pages. Author's signature, with date, appears on title page, with post-it note from Auckland Univerity bearing author's inscription to Cornell historian Barry Weiss is affixed to lower half of the same. Lewis' business card is laid in. "In "Solon the Thinker" John Lewis presents the hypothesis that Solon saw Athens as a self-governing, self-supporting system akin to the early Greek conceptions of the cosmos. Solon's polis functions not through divine intervention but by its own internal energy, which is founded on the intellectual health of its people, depends upon their acceptance of justice and moderation as orderly norms of life, and leads to the rejection of tyranny and slavery in favour of freedom. But Solon's naturalistic views are limited; in his own life each person is subject to the arbitrary foibles of moira, the inscrutable fate that governs human life, and that brings us to an unknowable but inevitable death. Solon represents both the new rational, scientific spirit that was sweeping the Aegean - and a return to the fatalism that permeated Greek intellectual life.". Inscribed by Author(s).

  • Seller image for Pottery Worship. The Fallen Idols. A series of detached papers dealing with subjects usually neglected in the general histories of the Ceramic Art; read before the members of the North Staffordshire Literary and Philosophical Society by M.L. Solon. Reprinted by permission of the Executors of the Author. With a holograph letter by the author conveying to "M. Barber" in [18]96 two "unique proofs" (also laid in) of photos of him taken by his sons. for sale by Montecito Rare Books

    Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good; spine a little cocked; minor rubbing/bumping to extremities; some scattered soil/stains to cloth; else Fine. Hinges sound, pages clean and bright. No dust jacket. First Edition. M.L. Solon (1835 - 1913) was a French porcelain artist. After beginning his career at the Sèvres Pottery, he moved to Stoke-on-Trent in 1870 to work at Mintons Ltd, where he became the leading exponent of the technique of ceramic decoration called pate-sur-pate. His work commanded high prices in the late Victorian period. The letter is folded once, with "The Villas, Stoke-on-Trent" embossed at the head of page one, written on four "pages, then folded again. It reads in part "April 20th, [18?]96. Dear M. Barber, I much regret to say that I have no good photos to send you. I am one of the rare ones who have never applied to a professional photographer to obtain their presentment. At the time when my boys amused themselves by taking a few bad negatives--under the flattering illusion that they were practicing photography--they took my portrait several times. Of these only the worst are now remaining. However, rather than appear unwilling to comply with your request I send you the two unique proofs in my possession." His correspondent was Edwin Atlee Barber (1851 - 1916), an American archaeologist and author, and a scholar of ceramics. One of the two photos is mounted on a card, with cropping marks around the subject, and a note indicating that it would be used in a paper of Barber's that appeared in the Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum. Signed by Author(s). Book.

    No Binding. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Leon Victor Solon (illustrator). 1st Edition. Two original New Year cards designed by Leon Victor Solon. One given to his father, Marc-Louis Solon, and the other to his brother, Camille Solon. Original engravings printed on card with plate marks. Recipients names hand-written in pencil. Cards read: '1901 1902 With Best Wishes From Leon V. Solon To ~ ~ Cards printed by 'Art Repro Co. London.' 12.5 x 15.5 cm. Some discolouration and creasing to mainly the margins of both cards, else fine. A unique opportunity to own a couple of very personal items from the Solon family of artists. Léon----- Victor Solon (1873 ? 1957), son of ceramist Marc-Louis Solon, was an English painter, ceramist, and graphic artist. He was a purveyor of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles and an important Modern Style (British Art Nouveau style) figure. Solon was the eldest son of Marc-Louis Solon, employee of the factory Mintons in Stoke-on-Trent, and Laure Arnoux, daughter of the artistic director there, Léon Arnoux. He was the brother of fellow artists Camille Solon and Albert Solon of Solon and Schemmel Tile Company. Solon was artistic director of Mintons between 1900 and 1909, and made an important contribution to the development of art nouveau in the Minton ceramic collections. In 1901, he was joined by John William Wadsworth (1879?1955) and both incorporated motifs borrowed from the Viennese secessionist movement. He specialized in tube-lined vases and plaques marketed as "secessionist ware". Solon emigrated to the United States in 1909 and in 1912 he became the artistic director of the American Encaustic Tiling Company based in Zanesville (Ohio). He was responsible for the polychroming of the famous sculptural decorations on the exterior of Rockefeller Center and coloured Lee Lawrie's Wisdom, Sound, and Light sculpture at the entrance of 30 Rockefeller Plaza and was then hired to be the colorist for the entire public art project at Rockefeller Center. His grave is located in Lakeland, Florida. ----Marc-Louis-Emmanuel Solon (1835 ? 23 June 1913), was a renowned French porcelain artist. After beginning his career at the Sèvres Pottery, he moved to Stoke-on-Trent in 1870 to work at Mintons Ltd, where he became the leading exponent of the technique of ceramic decoration called pâte-sur-pâte. Solon married Laure, the daughter of Minton's art director, Léon Arnoux, and the Solons raised a large family in The Villas near the Mintons factory. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and with Horace Lecoq de Boisbaudran. He died at Stoke-on-Trent on 23 June 1913. --- Camille Antoine Arnoux Solon (1877?1960) emigrated to the US, where he worked with architect Julia Morgan doing painting and tile work in the private libraries and indoor pools of William Randolph Hearst's mansions and estates at San Simeon, California. In 1914 Solon joined his brother Albert Solon, who was the pottery director at Arequipa Sanatorium in Fairfax, California. Solon also designed and painted the murals in the Gothic Suite of Casa Grande's private 3rd floor. He also designed, ?The Creation,? an interior mural in the Temple of Religion and Tower of Peace building at the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco. As he aged, Solon suffered from failing eyesight and used a beloved German Shepherd guide dog to aid him. Solon died in Marin County on 8 January 1960 and was buried at Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery in San Rafael.--- Additional information and images available upon request. Inscribed by Illustrator(s).
