A missal is a book that contains the prayers, chants, biblical readings, and rubrics for celebrating Mass. The first missals were found in monasteries in the 12th and 13th centuries. The term missale is Latin for "Mass book".
Biography:
Erhard Ratdolt (1442–1528) was an early German printer from Augsburg. He was active as a printer in Venice from 1476 to 1486, and afterwards in Augsburg. From 1475 to 1478 he was in partnership with two other German printers. The first book the partnership produced was the Calendarium (1476), written and previously published by Regiomontanus, which offered one of the earliest examples of a modern title page. Other noteworthy publications are the "Historia Romana of Appianus" (1477), and the first edition of "Euclid's Elements" (1482), where he solved the problem of printing geometric diagrams, the "Poeticon astronomicon", also from 1482, "Haly Abenragel" (1485), and "Alchabitius" (1503). Ratdolt is also famous for having produced the first known printer's type specimen...

Three Yellowlegs.
By Frank Benson
Located in New York, NY
The drypoint created in 1920 is a working state, the fourth of eight. The eight states are listed in the Frank W. Benson catalogue raisonne by Adam Paff #184. There are two recorded impressions of this print making it a rare find. It is signed in pencil and inscribed "D-2." The Image size 4 3/8 x 5 13/16" (11.1 x 14.8 cm). The final printed edition of "Three Yellowlegs" was 150.
Frank Weston Benson (1862-1951), well known for his American impressionist paintings, produced an incredible body of prints - etchings, drypoints, and a few lithographs. Born and raised on the North Shore of Massachusetts, Benson, a natural outdoorsman, grew up sailing, fishing, and hunting. While a teenager his fascination with drawing and birding developed simultaneously and continued throughout his life.
His first art instruction was with Otto Grundman at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and then in 1883 in Paris at the Academie Julian where he studied the rigorous ‘ecole des beaux arts’ approach to drawing and painting for two years.
During the early 1880’s Seymour Haden visited Boston giving a series of lectures on etching. This introduction to the European etching...

Egyptian Revival Lithograph
By Barbara Trupp
Located in Surfside, FL
(20th century)
Theban Archaeopteryx Lithographica
lithograph
edition of 15 signed
Barbara Trupp was born in Nebraska and spent her childhood in
Montana. She studied at the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts in Alberta,
Canada; the University of Puget Sound; and the University of Michigan.
Theban Archeaopteryx Lithographica was printed at the Plucked Chicken
Press in Evanston, Illinois.
“The stone is the shape of the Rosetta Stone, unlocking language, [a]
key to the past,” says Tripp. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you came across
a stone, chipped at it, and revealed layer upon layer of visual history,
images from sophisticated Egypt back to Paleozoic trilobites?
“Lithography stones, quarried from the Jura Mountains of Bavaria,
reach us from the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic, bearing fossils of the
first birds. The bird fossil looked like it was doing an Egyptian dance, and
that reminded me of the wall paintings of the House of Eternity in Thebes.
‘Paint the walls brightly, cheerfully, so that our souls will take the form of
birds and fly,’ said Sennefer, the mayor of Thebes, in the tomb of his
wife Meryet.
“Fossils and archeological evidence provide proof that others existed
before us, and allow us to see their thoughts. The past is with us. Like
Archaeopteryx, Sennefer and Meryet still fly through eternity, though
frozen in stone. Above them is the protective eye of Horus. Trilobites
represent a breathtaking explosion of Cambrian life forms. Between Archaeopteryx and Egypt, I wanted mammals.
Petroglyphs. Human marks. Because my right hand is the trained hand, I drew with my left, childlike. And
I drew with a stick, dipped in asphaltum, and a ratty old brush...

Vintage Galerie Alexandre Iolas Ballads Poster William Copley CPLY Mourlot Litho
Located in Surfside, FL
Ballads Galerie Alexandre Iolas Poster by William N. Copley (CPLY)
New-York, Geneve, Milan, Paris
196, Boulevard Saint-Germain
William Nelson Copley (January 24, 1919 – May 7, 1996) also known as CPLY, was an American painter, writer, gallerist, collector, patron, publisher and art entrepreneur. His works as an artist have been classified as late Surrealist and precursory to Pop Art.
William N. Copley was born in New York City in 1919 to parents John and Flora Lodwell; they died shortly after in the 1919 Spanish Flu epidemic. Copley was adopted in 1921 by Ira C. Copley, the owner of sixteen newspaper companies in Chicago and San Diego. Copley was ten years old whereby the family moved to Coronado Island, California.
Copley was sent to Phillips Andover and then Yale University by his adopted parents. He was drafted in the Second World War in the middle of his education at Yale, a decision negotiated by the school and the army. Copley experimented with politics upon returning home from the war, working as a reporter for his father's newspaper.
By 1946, Copley met and married Marjorie Doris Wead, the daughter of a test pilot for the Navy. Doris's sister was married to John Ployardt, a Canadian-born animator and narrator at Walt Disney Studios. Copley and Ployardt soon became friends and Ployardt began introducing Copley to painting and Surrealism. The two traveled to Mexico and New York, discovering art, meeting the artists behind the works, and grasping Surrealist ideas. It was during this time that Copley and Ployardt decided to open a gallery in Los Angeles to exhibit Surrealist works.
Copley and Ployardt tracked down Man Ray while living in Los Angeles. Ray then introduced them to Marcel Duchamp in New York City. There, Duchamp opened many doors for them, introducing the two to New York dealers in Surrealism. In 1948, Copley and Ployardt opened The Copley Galleries in Beverly Hills, displaying works by artists including René Magritte, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Roberto Matta, Joseph Cornell, and Man Ray. Copley moved to Paris in 1949–50, leaving behind his wife and two children to continue to paint. During his time in Paris, he remained in Surrealist circles and continued to paint with a uniquely American style.
Copley's first exhibition took place in Los Angeles in 1951 at Royer's Book Shop. From there Copley participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide. In 1961, Copley was given an exhibition in Amsterdam by the Stedelijk Museum. The museum became the first public institution to add a Copley to their collection.
Copley's paintings throughout the 1950s and 60s dealt with ironic and humorous images of stereotypical American symbols like the Western saloon, cowboys, and pin-up girls combined with flags.
