Résumé:
This beautifully illustrated book brings together the newly commissioned, first-ever English translation of one of the earliest studies in ornithology with the original watercolors, now part of the British Royal Collection, that provided the inspiration for its engraved illustrations. The watercolors, created for the “Paper Museum” of the seventeenth-century scholar and art collector Cassiano dal Pozzo, are here combined with the translated text of amateur naturalist Pietro Olina’s original Uccelliera of 1622 to create a new work that provides a fascinating glimpse of ornithology’s earliest days—a period when folklore informed natural history studies as much as science did.

Résumé:
Human heads on animal bodies, people in fanciful landscapes, faces that are deftly morphed into common household objects—these are among the Victorian experiments in photocollage seen and explained in this marvelous book. With sharp wit and dramatic shifts of scale, these images flouted the serious conventions of photography in the 1860s and 1870s. Often made by women for albums, they reveal the educated minds and accomplished hands of their makers, taking on the new theory of evolution, addressing the changing role of photography, and challenging the strict conventions of aristocratic society. Although these photocollages may seem wonderfully odd to us now, the authors argue that they are actually perfectly in keeping with the Victorian sensibility that embraced juxtaposition and variety.

Résumé:
A group of friends is attempting to enter a garden just beyond a wall. When they succeed, the garden they finally enter is no Eden, but rather a massive landscape of machines, geometric forms and all manner of nonorganic objects. In Japanese comic-book artist Yuichi Yokoyama's newest and longest work, his characters become enmeshed in a fantastic wonderland of distorted mirrors, photographic equipment, massive libraries and complex pathways. To his signature vivid visual style, Yokoyama has added more dialogue than in past works, fleshing out the characters and allowing them equal billing with his spectacular architectural creations, thus yielding a reflection on the myriad ways human interact with the complex mechanical world we have created.

Résumé:
Dessins métaphoriques sur la bureaucratie et son fonctionnement parfois absurde, livres «mode d’emploi» sur l’architecture des années 1930, détournements humoristiques de l’usage des armes militaires, ode au hasard et à l’imprévisible: l’artiste anglais William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) dresse une caricature poétique et fantaisiste de la société britannique de la première moitié du 20e siècle. C’est durant la Première Guerre mondiale que la renommée de W.H. Robinson s’établit, avec la publication de multiples dessins humoristiques dans des magazines populaires. Ce sont là les premières apparitions de ce qui fera sa célébrité: des machines improbables dont les mécanismes, d’une complexité folle, sont élaborés pour atteindre des objectifs ridiculement simples.
