Paris S.P. 1950 Deux dessins préliminaires originaux à l'aquarelle d'Albert Lemasson. Ils représentent le dôme et des éléments/personnages autour d'une église, dont une crucifixion à l'envers. Saint Pierre est le premier saint à avoir été crucifié à l'envers et le dôme semble similaire à celui de Saint-Pierre de Rome, nous pensons donc qu'il s'agit du sujet. Toutes deux ont été peintes sur une feuille d'épreuve du livre "Les Églises Fortifiées de la Thiérache". Lemasson a fourni trente lithographies en couleurs pour cet ouvrage de Gabriel Hanotaux, célébrant les églises fortifiées de la région de la Thiérache (le long de la frontière franco-belge). Il est possible qu'il s'agisse d'une première épreuve pour le livre. Chaque image mesure 21,5 cm x 14 cm. La feuille mesure 38 cm x 56 cm. De manière inhabituelle, Lemasson n'a pas identifié le sujet ni signé les feuilles (d'autres exemples que nous avons vendus ont tous identifié le sujet). Il est plus probable qu'il s'agisse de premières esquisses pour certaines de ses uvres représentant Rome. La feuille est quelque peu roussie et assombrie, avec un peu d'usure sur les bords. Il s'agit néanmoins d'une paire d'aquarelles intéressante et attrayante. Albert Lemasson était un peintre français (1892-1982). De formation classique, il entre à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris en 1919. Pendant environ 25 ans, Lemasson se spécialise principalement dans la décoration d'églises à l'aide de fresques, travaillant souvent avec son frère Paul Lemasson. Outre les fresques, il a peint des portraits, des paysages et des scènes de ses voyages en France, en Italie, en Espagne et en Grèce à l'huile, à l'aquarelle, à l'encre et dans d'autres médiums. Il a exposé ses uvres dans plusieurs galeries à Paris, Nantes et Bordeaux pendant plusieurs décennies.
Two original water colour preliminary drawings by Albert Lemasson. Featuring the dome and features / characters around a church including an upside down Crucifixion. St Peter was the primary saint who was crucified upside down and the dome does appear to be similar to St Peter's in Rome, so we suspect that this is the subject.Tthe second showing (it would appear) the martyrdom of several Chrisians. Both have been painted onto a proof sheet of the book "Les Églises Fortifiées de la Thiérache." Lemasson provided thirty colour lithographs for this work by Gabriel Hanotaux, celebrating the fortified churches of the Thiérache region (along the French / Belgian border). It is possible that these are an initial proof for the book. Each image is 21.5cm x 14cm. The sheet is 38cm x 56cm. Unusually, Lemasson hasn't identified the topic or signed the sheets (other examples we have sold have all identified the subject). It is more likely that these are early sketches for some of his works showing Rome. The sheet is somewhat foxed and darkened, with a little edgewear. Still an interesting and attractive pair of water colours. Albert Lemasson was a French painter (1892-1982. He was classically trained and entered the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris in 1919. Lemasson specialized for about 25 years mainly in church decoration through frescoes, often working with his brother Paul Lemasson. Besides frescoes, he painted a variety of works including portraits, landscapes, and scenes from his travels in France, Italy, Spain, and Greece using oil, watercolor, ink, and other mediums. He exhibited his works in several galleries in Paris, Nantes, and Bordeaux over many decades. .

St. Petersburg, 1869. 8vo. Extract in contemporary or slightly later blank blue paper wrappers. Wrappers with neat professional restorations from verso, barely noticeable. A very fine and clean copy. Pp. 60-77.
Exceedingly scarce first printing of Mendeleev’s seminal Russian Chemical Society-paper of March 1869, presenting for the first time the periodical table of the elements. “His newly formulated law was announced before the Russian Chemical Society in March 1869 with the statement “elements arranged according to the value of their atomic weights present a clear periodicity of properties.” Mendeleev’s law allowed him to build up a systematic table of all the 70 elements then known.” (Encycl. Britt.) “Early in 1869, Russian chemist Dmitrii Mendeleev was in a predicament many people are familiar with—he was facing a deadline. He had delivered the first volume of his inorganic chemistry textbook to his publisher but was struggling with how to organize the second volume. This struggle would culminate in a remarkable discovery, a system that classified all of the chemical elements. In March 1869, Mendeleev delivered a full paper to the Russian Chemical Society spelling out the most significant aspect of his system, that characteristics of the elements recur at a periodic interval as a function of their atomic weight. This was the first iteration of the periodic law.” (OSU) Mendeleev’s system was not yet perfect when it appeared in 1869, but it would prove to be one of the most fundamental of scientific laws, one that would hold true through new discoveries and against all challenges. Mendeleev not only recognized that what seemed to be a randomness of the elements fitted into a system, he also suggested that the gaps in his system would later be filled with elements yet unknown to the scientific world. The discovery of new elements in the 1870s fulfilled several of Mendeleev’s predictions and brought increased interest to the periodic system, making it an invaluable tool for research. “He had such faith in the validity of the periodic law that he proposed changes to the generally accepted values for the atomic weight of a few elements and predicted the locations within the table of unknown elements together with their properties. At first the periodic system did not raise interest among chemists. However, with the discovery of the predicted elements, notably gallium in 1875, scandium in 1879, and germanium in 1886, it began to win wide acceptance. Gradually the periodic law and table became the framework for a great part of chemical theory. By the time Mendeleev died in 1907, he enjoyed international recognition and had received distinctions and awards from many countries.” (Encycl. Britt.)

London, 1913. Without wrappers, but stitched. In ""Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science"", Vol. 26, No. 156. December 1913. Pp. 937-1058 a. 6 plates.(= the whole issue No 156). Moseley's paper: pp. 854-860 a. 1 plate. Fine and clean.
First edition of this groundbreaking paper which Rutherford considered A WORK ON PAR WITH THE VERY DISCOVERY OF THE PERIODICAL TABLE, introducing the concept 'Atomic Number'.Moseley notes a regularity in the shifting of spectral lines when the elements (he examines 50 elements) are arranged according to atomic weight. He finds that bombardments of the various elements with cathode rays yeilds a systematic sequence of vibration frequencies, and from this he derives the concept of atomic number, which he recognizes as equal to the nuclear charge.""Moseley, working under Rutherford at Manchester, used the method of X-ray spectroscopy devised by the Braggs to calculate variations in the wave-lenght of the rays emitted by each element. These he was able to arrange in a series according to the nuclear charge of the element. Thus if the nuclear charge of hydrogen is 1, in helium it is 2, in lithium 3, and so on by regular progression to uranium as 92. These figures Moseley called atomic numbers.he pointed out that they also represented a corresponding increase in extra-nuclear electrons and that it is the number and arrangement of these electrons rather than the atomic weight that determines the properties of an element. It was now possible to base the periodical table on a firm foundation, and to state with confidence that the number of elements up to uranium is limited to 92. When Moseley'stable was completed, six atomic numbers had no corresponding elements"" but Moseley himself was able to predict the nature of four of the missing elements.""(Printing and the Mind of Man No. 407). Another paper on the same subject was published by Moseley the next year (1914).An important paper by Rutherford and Richardson is withbound: Analysis of the gamma rays of Thorium and Actinium Products. Pp.937-948 and 1 plate.
