TRAIN WRECKS A Pictorial History of Accidents on the Main Line by Robert C. Reed

Lot # 10      

TRAIN WRECKS A Pictorial History of Accidents on the Main Line by Robert C. Reed, Published by Bonanza Books, New York (1968) 183 pages with photographs and illustrations...more. "American railroad history is filled with accounts of misadventure. Steam boilers blew up. Bridges collapsed under the weight of heavy engines. Locomotives crashed head-on because of signal failures. Passenger cars derailed, often with dire results. Lightly built wooden coaches splintered on impact, and the debris often ignited from the coals in the iron stoves used for heating. In the mid-nineteenth century American railroading was burgeoning--a growth too fast for safe operations. Despite the grim statistics of 19th and early 20th century train wrecks that resulted, one cannot help but find the photographs and public prints of the day interesting."

RARE Chihuly's Pendletons: And Their Influence on His Work by Dale Chihuly (2000) SIGNED BY CHIHULY

Lot # 12      

Chihuly's Pendletons: And Their Influence on His Work by Dale Chihuly, Published by Portland Pr, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. (2000) Signed By Chihuly on the front cover i...moren black marker (see pic). Large hardcover. Folio. Pictorial endpapers. 253pps., with numerous full-page, full-color photos. Twenty-six years ago, Dale Chihuly attended an exhibition of Navajo blankets and was completely captivated. The brilliant colors, bold geometric designs, and intricate weaving of the textiles appealed to his interest in the interplay of strong color and shape. Chihuly later studied the designs, patterns, colors, and origins of trade blankets, recognizing their significance in history and the differences between their machine-made origin and those of the hand-made blankets. Soon after, Chihuly began to create a series of glass cylinders that explore the blankets' beauty -- a pursuit he continued to perfect for twenty years -- while acquiring more than six hundred trade blankets in his private collection.

Atolls of the Sun by Frederick O'Brien (1922) SOUTH SEAS with Dust Jacket

Lot # 25      

Atolls of the Sun by Frederick O'Brien, Published by Hodder & Stoughton London (1922) good condition with dust jacket in protector. "Frederick O'Brien was clearly drawn t...moreo the South Seas and apart from Atolls of the Sun wrote another two books, Mystic Isles of the South Seas and White Shadows in the South Seas, about the area. There is an almost surreal quality about the writing, but this may just be a reflection of the strange and at the time lonely islands, cut off by vast distances and only reached by sailing boats. There is a fascinating description of the settlement of Pitcairn by the great-grandson of Fletcher Christian, and the book is full of the colorful people of varied origins who settled the islands around Tahiti."
