"The nineteenth century medal series The Greatest Edifices of Europe by Belgian engraver-medalist Jacques Wiener is examined in detail. The work begins by providing a biographical background for Wiener, integrating two primary, existing sources. The overall medal series is then addressed starting with its inception as defined in Wiener's original 1854 prospectus through its quietly incomplete conclusion. The scope of the series, its range of issue dates, and elements and characteristics of its production are presented. For each edifice commemorated, the associated medals, including new and unpublished varieties, are presented, legends translated, die characteristics examined, contemporary supporting documentation cited, issue dates revised, and source images used by the artist are identified in limited cases. Where applicable, instances of divergence between the state of the actual monument and Wiener's renderings are noted as well. The intent of the work is to provide a greater understanding of the medal series through a contextual approach"--

The Comstocks of Cornell is the autobiography written by the naturalist educator Anna Botsford Comstock about her life and that of her husband, the entomologist John Henry Comstock-both prominent figures in the scientific community and in Cornell University history. A first edition was published in 1953, but it omitted key Cornellians, historical anecdotes, and personal insights. In this twenty-first-century edition, Karen Penders St. Clair restores the author's voice by reconstructing the entire manuscript as Anna Comstock wrote it-and thereby preserves Comstock's memories of the personal and professional lives of the couple as she originally intended. The book includes an epilogue documenting the Comstocks' last years and fills in gaps from the 1953 edition. Described as serious legacy work, this book is an essential part of the history of both Cornell University and its press.

Die bedeutendsten Architekten seiner Zeit vertrauten Jean Marot ihre Entwürfe an, und er verstand es, selbst ihren flüchtigen Ideen Dauer zu verleihen. Darum ist Jean Marots druckgraphische Dokumentation der französischen Baukunst des 17. Jahrhunderts für die Architekturgeschichte von immensem Wert. Bislang wurde sein Schaffen jedoch weitgehend auf diese dienende Rolle reduziert.Kristina Deutschs Monographie widmet sich nun erstmals der kreativen Seite seines Werks und beleuchtet Marots zuweilen ungemein freien Interpretationen fremder Zeichnungen. Anhand der wichtigsten graphischen Serien – vor allem seiner Radierungen zum Louvre – arbeitet sie die Parameter heraus, welche die ästhetische Inszenierung eines Bauwerks prägen. The most important architects of his time entrusted Jean Marot with their designs, and he knew how to give their ethereal ideas lasting tangibility. Which is precisely why Jean Marot’s prints, documenting 17th century French architecture, are of immense value to architectural history. And until today, his work has mainly been reduced to the role of a service rendered. Kristina Deutsch’s monograph is the first attempt to shift focus to the creative side of his work and sheds light on Marot’s sometimes extraordinarily free interpretations of drawings by other artists. Based on his most significant series of prints -and especially his etchings regarding the Louvre - Deutsch makes a detailed presentation of the parameters that characterize the aesthetic presentation of a structure.
