Celebrating spectacular typography creations with a visual book produced by independent makers. == Sanborn Fire Protection Maps were originally created back in the 1860s to assess buildings and homes before insurance companies issued fire protection policies. If they are frequently used by historians for the important information they gave on cities, what always fascinated me about these maps is the typographic work done on each city name. I spend hours documenting all this legacy and order them alphabetically. Passionate by print, I want to give these a new life with letterpress prints and a book. (Fabien Barral ).

Deutscher Kunstverlag, 2009. Hardcover. Fine. NEW, ships from Hawaii -- Die Skulpturen des Bildhauers Aristide Maillol galten bislang meist als Paradefall einer gelungenen Verbindung klassischer und moderner Formlösungen, als Sinnbilder eines überzeitlichen Körperideals. Maillols Inszenierung des weiblichen Körpers führt jedoch in ein anderes, politisches Bezugsfeld visueller Kultur der Moderne: Die Entstehungsgeschichte der Ethnographie. Deren Methoden der Beschreibung, psychologischen Einordnung und musealen Inszenierung von Artefakten etablierten sich im engen Austausch mit Künstlern, Kunstkritik und Kunstwissenschaft. Die detaillierte Analyse der Skulpturen Maillols und ihrer Rezeption in Deutschland und Frankreich zwischen 1890 und 1937 lässt erkennen, wie weitgehend sein Werk Teil des modernen ästhetischen Diskurses um das Fremde war. Zwischen Artefakt, Fetisch und Denkmal lieferten Maillols weibliche Akte fassbare Vorgaben für ein universal gedachtes französisches Identitätsmodell.
