The photographer Édouard Baldus (1813–1889), a central figure in the early development of French photography and acknowledged in his day as a pioneer in the still-experimental field, was widely acclaimed both for his aesthetic sensitivity and for his technical prowess. Establishing a new mode of representing architecture and describing the emerging modern landscape with magnificent authority, he enjoyed high patronage in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet, despite the artist's renown during his lifetime, his name is all but unknown today, his work savored only by connoisseurs. Baldus made his reputation with views of the monuments of Paris and the south of France, with dramatic landscapes of the Auvergne, with photographs of the New Louvre, and with a poignant record of the devastating floods of 1856. But it is his two railroad albums—the first commissioned in 1855 by Baron James de Rothschild for presentation to Queen Victoria, the second in 1861 by the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee railroad company—that are his greatest achievement. Here he brought together his earlier architectural and scenic images with bold geometric views of the modern landscape—railroad tracks, stations, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels—to address the influence of technology (of which both the railroad and the camera are prime examples). In so doing, Baldus anticipated the concerns of Impressionist painters a decade later and those of many artists of our own day, meeting his task with a clarity and directness not since surpassed. Beginning in the mid 1860s with this publication, and lasting until the early 1880s, Baldus primary commercial activity centered on the production of photogravures, a process he first explored in 1854. This work had nothing to do with promoting artistic photography or his own photographic work; instead it was an industrial application of photography that brought credit and financial gain to Baldus as an inventor and entrepreneur rather than an artist.

Les Trois Regnes De La Nature par l'Abbé Jacques Delille.
Title page from the 1821 edition in French; "A Paris, Chez L. Giguet Michaud, Libraire, Rue De Clery, No 13 ------ M. DCCC. XXI. "
The owner's signature is (I think) Hugh Schermerhorn. July. 31. 1824.
Update: Dec 16, 2012,
...Here is the book's description I recently wrote on amazon (for free, of course!) after I researched the author and his books:
"This is the original text, in the French language, of a long poem written in rhyming "alexandrins" form, describing the animal, mineral, and vegetal kingdoms of nature. It is a 2 volumes antique leather bound deluxe second edition published in Paris in 1821, originally issued in 1808.
The author, Jacques Delille (1738-1813), was and is a respected 18th century French poet and translator of John Milton's "Paradise Lost". Amongst his many achievements, Delille was a member of l'Académie Française, Seat 23, from 1774 to 1813.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to know that this edition is annotated, at the end of the main verses, by Baron George Cuvier (1769-1832) the French naturalist and zoologist. Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in early 19th century, and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology."

Why Support Gen44 and the DNC?
• The DNC is the political arm of the White House.
The DNC has three main goals: to support the President’s agenda, build the national party’s infrastructure, and elect Democrats at all levels of government. The DNC is working hard to support the President as he enacts an ambitious agenda that is getting our economy moving again and changing the way things in Washington get done. By helping the President succeed, we know we are helping Democratic candidates and Democratic leaders in every state. The 2012 elections are an important chapter in our continued efforts to build a better America. We work closely with the DSCC, DCCC, DGA, and other Democratic groups to get Democrats elected at all levels of government.
One of the primary focuses of the DNC is helping to fight back against attacks from the right and get the truth out about what Republicans really stand for, which is Wall Street, not Main Street.
• The DNC thinks nationally and acts locally.
The DNC is committed to supporting Democrats at every level in all 50 states. Building on the successful 50-state strategy and utilizing the talent and strategies developed during the Obama For America Campaign, Organizing for America was born. Organizing for America (OFA) is the grassroots project of the Democratic National Committee dedicated to building support for President Obama’s agenda for change. OFA’s network of volunteers and staff is actively working at the grassroots level in all 50 states to promote the President’s proposals to strengthen America’s middle class by creating jobs, passing health insurance reform, building a clean energy economy, improving education, and reining in the excesses of Wall Street. OFA is actively involved in electing allies the President can count on in Congress to pass his agenda.
• The DNC is creating a long-term infrastructure for positive change.
Throughout the last year, the Democratic National Committee has made long-term investments to grow the Democratic Party in all 50 states. We work closely with Democratic state parties and committees, Organizing for America, campaigns, and Democratic activists. Thanks to our investments and work on the ground, we are in strong shape going into the November elections and will mount an aggressive effort in campaigns across the company. There is no doubt there will be many tough races, but the infrastructure we have in place has put us in a strong position heading towards November.
Durham celebrate
Pictures taken at Lords during the final of the 2014 Royal London One-Day Cup. Durham and Warwickshire met at the home of cricket with Durham coming away victors by 3 wickets.
Having won the toss and elected to field Durham dismissed Warwickshire for 165 within 47 overs making good use of the gloomy overhead conditions. Durham laboured to victory scoring 166 for 7 off 40.2 of their allotted 50 overs.
