Photography by G. Allan Brown (illustrator). Profusely illustrated with over 300 photographs in full color and more than 165 in black and white, Appendix (serial numbers and production tables)."Winchester An American Legend: The Official History of Winchester Firearms and Ammunition from 1849 to the Present" was published in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Winchester marque, and presents for the first time in any major firearms book pictorial and textual material on Winchester's wide range of ammunition. The most lavish work ever produced on American long arms, this book has been published with the full cooperation of the Winchester Division of the Olin Corporation, as well as Winchester licensee, the U.S. Repeating Arms Company. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company is a prominent American maker of repeating firearms. located in New Haven, Connecticut. No arms maker in history has captured the imagination in the way Winchester has: rifles, shotguns, and ammunition famous the world over for craftsmanship, design capability and performance, historical tradition, and sheer romance. And it is the Winchester that is known as "the gun that won the West." The book's large format presents many of the firearms in exquisite close-ups, accompanied by substantial details of history, development, and significance. Variations within model groups are given ample attention, and the book's organization gives an unequaled overview of nearly a century and a half of Winchester achievement. A unique, comprehensive table in the appendix gives serial numbers and related production data previously unavailable in any one source. This red cloth gold gilt stamped illustrated hardcover is in very nice condition, slight scuff on bottom cover edge appears to be from initial binding process, gold gilt look's bright and new.

REMARKABLE OLMEC POTTERY WAILING BABYREMARKABLE OLMEC POTTERY WAILING BABY FIGUREPre-Columbian, Mexico, Olmec culture, ca. 10th to 6th century BCE. A dramatic terracotta figure of a seated human baby, posed with legs akimbo and both hands resting on chubby thighs. Enveloped in lovely remains of white, beige, and gray slip on a red ground, the child presents a round belly, a recessed navel, and no visible sex. The plump arms and legs terminate in petite feet and hands that emphasize the shape of the body. The sizeable head displays the expressive visage of a crying infant - with narrow, squinting eyes, a broad nose, and a large, gaping mouth showing a few upper teeth and full lips. A pair of naturalistic ears flank the face, each featuring pierced lobes for suspending ornaments, sitting just below the elongated forehead. Note the artist's careful attention to detail, as evident by not only the delineated fingers and fleshy folds of the body and limbs, but also the realism of the countenance - portrayed so vividly the viewer is left surprised their own ears do not ring with the piercing wails of a child! Size: 14.3" W x 12.8" H (36.3 cm x 32.5 cm)
The Olmec are famous for their human depictions; as the first major civilization in this fertile area, their artwork inspired the civilizations that came after them to the point that we think some of them even revered Olmec artwork and kept it as heirlooms. Figures of this style are known as "baby face," with plump bodies and chubby, pouty facial features. Infants are a recurring theme from Olmec art, and this one would likely have once been white-slipped to match other known examples. The shape of their heads - like this one - have been attributed to deliberate skull shaping. For an interesting article about Olmec baby figures see "Olmec Babies as Early Portraiture in the Americas" by James Doyle, Assistant Curator, Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, April 17, 2015.
