More than 40 of the museum's finest dioramas are featured here, depicting the fauna and flora of myriad ecological environments.

This enchanting book is the perfect gift for nature lovers, art enthusiasts, and museum goers everywhere."

David Levine. Leopold, David. AMERICAN PRESIDENTS. [SN25668X] $20 Seattle: Fantagraphics, 2008. 1st. Small 4to (9-11"), 128pp, b&w, wraps. VF. "For more than a half century, David Levine has taken on the most powerful men of the free world with only his pen and a bottle of India ink. That pen has proved to be mightier than the sword as Levine skewered, illuminated, satirized and condemned every president of the 20th century, as well as the most significant presidents from colonial times and the Civil War era. His drawing of Lyndon Johnson revealing a scar in the shape of Vietnam is considered one of the most recognized (and most copied) of the Vietnam era. His devastating wit and delicately cross-hatched drawing have exposed the venality of the Nixon administration, the phoniness of the Reagan years, the duplicity of the Clinton era, and the evil of the Bush cabal. Nine administrations have come and gone during Levine's tenure, and with a new one on the horizon, the artist remains, unbowed, unfazed, and unrelenting. "Now for the first time, the best of Levine's five decades of portraits of American Presidents and their administrations are gathered in a comprehensive and visually dynamic book. From John Adams to George Bush; from John Quincy Adams to George W. Bush; from the Great Emancipator to the Great Society, Levine has captured them all, including present day candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. "David Levine is internationally renowned for his incisive caricatures of world figures in literature, politics, and the arts. For 45 years his work appeared in every issue of the New York Review of Books, and his drawings have been reproduced in Time, Newsweek, Esquire, Playboy, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, The Nation, and many other publications. Levine is perhaps the most influential caricaturist of the late twentieth century." "More than any other caricaturist, Levine has a fine eye for fraud. Let a statesman parade false affability, false humility, or false sorrow, and Levine will make it into a mask... Levine is a man of protest-passionate protest. And these drawings, more than anything else, are a social history of protest-especially as the artist felt it." – John Kenneth Galbraith.

First printing of 2000 copies. "During his long creative life Norman Lindsay produced works in many media, but pencil was the only one he used continuously from childhood to old age. If, as is often said, it is drawing which best demonstrates the strength of any artist, then the collection of over three hundred and sixty pencil drawings in this book provides a unique opportunity to assess the man and his methods. "The earliest drawing reproduced in this book was done in 1889, when he was ten years old; the latest, in 1969, the year he died at the age of ninety. Thus these drawings, spanning eighty years of creative development, enable the reader to trace the evolution of Lindsay’s style throughout his life. The drawings have been carefully selected to demonstrate both Lindsay’s draughtsmanship and the range of his subject matter. There are pages from his voluminous sketchbooks in which he recorded details of subjects from animals to armour; preliminary sketches for what later became major works in oil, watercolour and pen; minutely detailed drawings for etchings; rough sketches showing his notes for colour plans; and pencil portraits which are works of art in their own right. Most of the drawings, however, are from the model, both male and female. His drawings of figures convey the spirit as well as the likeness of the model and have in common with his other pencil works great vitality and spontaneity. "The text complements the drawings, weaving into the book excerpts from Norman Lindsay’s life and providing insights into his relationships with his family, friends and models. There are also many comments from Lindsay’s own writings and from his artistically-gifted family and contemporaries - on his techniques, his artistic philosophy and the imagery used in many of his drawings - which help to illuminate the work of this extraordinary Australian artist. " Norman Lindsay. NORMAN LINDSAY ETCHINGS: CATALOGUE RAISONNE. [SN27895] $150 Sydney: Odana, 1999. 1st. 4to (11-13"), 306pp, color and b&w illustrations, pictorial boards. Fine. Print run of 1000 copies. "Over a period of eighty years Australian artist Norman Alfred Williams Lindsay (1897-1969) produced a prodigious amount of work - pencil drawings, pen and ink drawings, watercolours and oil paintings - and the etcher's needle was to become as natural an extension of the artist's hand as his pencil, pen and paint brush. With equal constancy and application he developed into true magnificence his techniques of etching. "The fully illustrated catalogue raisonné of his 175 unpublished and 200 published etchings traces his development from the first tentative beginning in 1897 to the maturity of his etched line in the 1920s and 1930s. "This volume includes an updated catalogue raisonné and a text (with some new material) condensed from the original definitive publication, The Complete Etchings of Norman Lindsay, of 100,000 words to 10,000 words. "The importance of this edition for all lovers of Lindsay's art, for all connoisseurs, collectors, art historians, dealers, graphic artists and students will be immediately apparent.

VF. “Fates.” After 16 years, the conclusion of Loisel's ongoing re-imagining of Peter Pan. Hold on to your hat because it’s dark and doesn’t feel like a happy ending. "'My album is at the crossroads of everyone's childhood, filled with the marvelous alchemy between dream and reality, that flies away against our wishes when we grow up. There is magic, poetry but also a lot of suffering and cruelty in that world ...' Régis Loisel has decided to clear up the mystery around the origins of Peter Pan by imagining his beginnings, how Peter, an ordinary young boy, became Peter Pan. With each album, the different events fit together and the story ends exactly where James Barrie's novel begins. A comic book of great beauty which releases all the magic of Loisel's paintbrush."

The emphasis in Loomis' fourth book is perspective. However the final two sections: Drawing the Figure in Costume and A Gallery of Drawings are primarily pictorial.

Small 4to (9-11”), viii, 286pp, over 100 b&w photos and 6 color photos, wraps. Fine. From the book flap: “When Ruth Harriet Louise joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the studio with "more stars than there are in heaven," she was twenty-two years old and the only woman working as a portrait photographer for the Hollywood studios. In a career that lasted from 1925 until 1930, Louise (born Ruth Goldstein) photographed all the stars, contract players, and many of the hopefuls who passed through the studio's front gates, including Greta Garbo, Lon Chaney, John Gilbert, Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, and Norma Shearer. This book, which coincides with a major traveling retrospective of Louise's work organized by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, is the first collection of her exquisite photographs. Containing over one hundred breathtaking images - reproduced from the original negatives - it attests to the talent and vision of a surprisingly unknown photographer who formed the images and helped create the popularity of some of our most enduring stars. Louise shot about one hundred thousand negatives that distilled the glamour, drama, and excitement of MGM's feature productions. Louise's original photographs were circulated to millions of moviegoers, magazine and newspaper readers, and fans. The movies and publicity machine that these photographs supported shaped the basic notions of stardom,
