Unicorn, 2015. First Edition. Softcover. Fine Condition. Inscribed by Author. SIGNED and dated by Maggi Hambling, and inscribed to the previous owner. First edition, first printing. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages. A well-kept copy. This is an almost perfect book, almost as good as seeing the works live. The reproductions are superb with some magnification sufficient to see the brush strokes and more than one view of a work, for example a shot of a group of works, then some focusing on some of the individuals and then a close up of parts of some of them. The notes to the text are placed next to it, in the margins, so much easier than at the foot or at the end. The text is wholly adequate and not too arty/waffley it actually does add to the enjoyment and understanding of the works. It makes you want to see the originals even more and is a great souvenir of them. (Reader review) 160 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Art & Design; Inscribed by Author.

Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Very light wear to jacket. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked. Your book will be securely packaged, and promptly dispatched. Women Filmmakers in Early Hollywood explores when, how, and why women were accepted as filmmakers in the 1910s and why, by the 1920s, those opportunities had disappeared. In looking at the early film industry as an industry -- a place of work -- Mahar not only unravels the mystery of the disappearing female filmmaker but untangles the complicated relationship among gender, work culture, and business within modern industrial organizations. In the early 1910s, the film industry followed a theatrical model, fostering an egalitarian work culture in which everyone -- male and female -- helped behind the scenes in a variety of jobs. In this culture women thrived in powerful, creative roles, especially as writers, directors, and producers. By the end of that decade, however, mushrooming star salaries and skyrocketing movie budgets prompted the… Read More
