Help dating 18th century French painter Antoine Graincourt

Hi friends. I'm attempting to resolve the dating inconsistency in the Antoine Graincourt article and a simple google search is not cutting it. Could someone who has access to an academic library or database help? The article says in the text Graincourt's dates are 1699-1753, but also places him in the category 1748 births and 1823 deaths.

Google searches suggest that the dates 1699-1753 are probably wrong: being actually the birth and death dates for one of the people Graincourt painted, Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais. For example, see this biography of Mahé at Biographie.net ("né à Saint-Malo le 11 février 1699 et mort à Paris le 10 novembre 1753") or this museum page from a museum that has Mahé's portrait in its collection, and attributes the 1699-1753 dates to Graincourt, not Mahé. Google also turned up one source for Graincourt completing a painting after 1753: a copy of Hyacinthe Rigaud's portrait of the Marechal de Tourville; the copy is said to have been made in 1780-82

However, even if 1699-1753 is wrong, google can't help me confirm that 1748-1823 is correct. Those dates don't seem to have any online source except Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors/copies. Plus, Graincourt paintings include people who died before 1748, such as François Louis de Rousselet, Marquis de Châteaurenault (1637-1716) and René Duguay-Trouin (1673-1736) – though I suppose those could also be copies of earlier paintings. I hope all this is enough info. Thanks! WikiJedits (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have found support for the 1748 birth date through google books. See here; likewise (with considerable overlap) for a year of death in 1823 [1]. I find no support for 1699 ([2]); hits are coincidental. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. BTW, do you have access to the full versions of any of those books? While most simply give his dates in a one-line list-type entry, these two look like they might include some actual biographical text that we could use to expand the article – if we could access it.
1. Vivre et mourir à Saint-Etienne aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles‎ - Page 70 … Antoine Graincourt n'a pas laissé un souvenir important, selon les critiques « son dessin est ... Antoine Graincourt commence sa série de tableaux en 1780. ...
2. L'art de la Picardie‎ … ANTOINE-NOEL-BENOIT GRAINCOURT, né à Corbie en 1748, et PIERRE THUILLIER, né à Amiens en 1799, ont passé leur existence artistique hors de la Picardie. ...
Regardless, many thanks for your help here. Best, WikiJedits (talk) 20:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that I do not, but hopefully somebody else here will. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi WhisperToMe!
When you have received what you asked for in a request, here on WP:Resource exchange (and on the Reference desks), then it is a good thing if you put in a {{resolved}} as the first line just beneath the heading.
This both facilitates automated archiving AND it makes all the helpful people avoid wasting any time, instead letting them jump right to the other sections(requests) where their time and attention is needed.
In cases where you have put multiple resource requests under one heading and not all have been answered yet, then it is a good thing if you use strikeout on the parts of the request that have been answered. (Like DrPda did on part of your request above). It is done like this: 
<S>3.Third part of my request.</S>
which results in: 3.Third part of my request.) :-)
P.S.
Generally it is best if (the work of) adding the {{resolved}} and the <S></S> is done by the one who gets the answer rather than by the one who gives it (or anyone else).
--Seren-dipper (talk) 16:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC) :-)[reply]
Aha, I see. From now on I will use "strikeout" when I get a fulfilled request on this page. Once I get the Lexington articles I will add "resolved." Thank you :) WhisperToMe (talk) 03:05, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, looks like a Google metadata error when scanned from the NYPL. Other volumes are PD-old, including Volume 5, so you might try giving googlebooks feedback (see the link at the bottom of their page). They may be able to just tweak the metadata and free it up. LeadSongDog come howl! 20:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's a thought, but I'm in the UK and they do not/cannot give a hoot. The copyright laws are different and we're quite restricted in what we're allowed to see on Google Books cf what people in the US are allowed to see. I can see more than 3 or 4 lines of any Chemical Trade Journal - Sitush (talk) 21:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like it should be available from Hathitrust to IP addresses in the US. They are very cautious about infringing non-US copyrights, blocking access to foreign origin material from 1869-1923 except to US users. In England, the original should be available at the BL (DSC Boston Spa), Newcastle University or Cambridge (check their catalogues for Volume 4). You may be able to get some wikipedian near there to do the legwork if it's not feasible for you. See WP:LIB. It was a weekly, so I think you are looking for one of the April 1889 issues based on the page numbers. Or you could seek out an editor with access to a major US library who can get it from Hathitrust. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:59, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. Although I went to Cambridge Uni, I have already tried that particular route and got nowhere (so much for the "famed old boy network") I think I will have to find a receptive US editor. There must be one. Daft thing is, this is a bit speculative: because I can only see about 4 lines of the thing I am not sure how much of that which I cannot see is of use - but something in it will be.

Sally Pero / Equalizers

Resolved

In a paper by Sidney Darlington it is mentioned that Sally Pero (nee Sally Pero Mead) may have been the first person to build an equalizer. I am trying to get a date for this which Darlington unfortunatley does not give. We are talking ATT here so the publication platform is likely the Bell System Technical Journal. If someone can find the index to this, please let me know when (or if) she published. The invention was in connection with submarine telegraph cables so the time-frame is early 20th century, maybe 1920ish. SpinningSpark 17:01, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check http://crinklydoodle.com/bstj/papers.php . There are three papers by Sallie Pero Mead:
  • Wave Propagation Over Parallel Tubular Conductors: The Alternating Current Resistance (April 1925, Vol. IV, Issue 2, Page 327)
  • Phase Distortion and Phase Distortion Correction (April 1928, Vol. VII, Issue 2, Page 195)

You do know that Who's Who is not a wp:RS, right? LeadSongDog come howl! 20:41, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't but would imagine that is so because entries are self-penned. However, this entry is about a company and as such would have the same weight as a trade directory plus, more importantly, it appears to have some information which I would then be able to cross-reference (dates, names, addresses etc. There is a major problem with a corporate history from about 1914 at W & J Galloway & Sons and this thing may kickstart filling in the gaps. - Sitush (talk) 21:00, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I've read some of the RS Noticeboard discussions now. It s/b noted first of all that this is (a) a UK publication, not the US one, and (b) it is not "Who's Who". It is also not being requested for a biographical purpose at all, living person or otherwise. The consensus, as for example illustrated in this discussion, is that care needs to be taken but errors are usually of omission, which is not a problem for my requirements. I really want to nail this article, which I've developed more or less solo from pretty much a stub. It could be as good as Churchill Machine Tool Company, which is also primarily my work (although, as always, has benefited from much useful advice etc from other editors). - Sitush (talk) 21:21, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SAGE Journals Online: Journal of Contemporary History, April 1972

Resolved

I've been trying to clean up citations in Benito Mussolini, and I found this citation:

"Mussolini's Cultural Revolution: Fascist or Nationalist?". jch.sagepub.com. 8 January 2008.

I looked up the URL, and found that it's not a journal article, it's not dated January 2008, and it's not accessible without a SAGE subscription (or a fee of $25 for one day of access, which I wouldn't expect anyone to pay). I restated the citation like this:

"Mussolini's Cultural Revolution: Fascist or Nationalist?". Journal of Contemporary History. 7 (3). SAGE Journals Online: 115–139. April 1972. doi:10.1177/002200947200700308. Retrieved 2011-03-23.(subscription required)

Correcting the citation template was easy. But can anyone confirm that the article text is in fact supported by the citation? The following text is from the Rome-Berlin relations section of the article:

With the assassination of Dollfuss, Mussolini attempted to distance himself from Hitler by rejecting much of the racialism (particularly Nordicism and Germanicism) and anti-Semitism espoused by the German radical. Mussolini during this period rejected biological racism, at least in the Nazi sense, and instead emphasized "Italianizing" the parts of the Italian Empire he had desired to build. He declared that the ideas of Eugenics and the racially charged concept of an Aryan nation were not possible.

Interesting source. I assume you meant 1888 as the start date instead of 1915? It looks like Google has digitized these and when I use my university library portal to search I have access to most years from 1890 - 1905. However, many of those years don't show up when I go directly to books.google.com and search there so I think they might be restricted to certain universities.

Salem Witch Trials article

Resolved

Hello all, I am trying to attempt a rewrite of an article on Semiotics and the Salem Witch Trials, and need the full text of the article " "Tell me, be you a witch?": Questions in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 " in the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law (doi 10.1007/BF01130380).

I would be grateful for any help. Thank you, Deyyaz [ Talk | Contribs ] 21:35, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the four articles: I Will Tell, Our Salem, Our Selves, Touring History, Black Magic. Please let me know when you've downloaded them successfully so I can take down the links.
I should have online access to the "Tell me, be you a witch?" article, but for some reason the springer website isn't letting me access it. I'll try it again and if I can't get it online I should be able to get a scan for you in a couple of days. GabrielF (talk) 03:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, looks like I'll have to get a scan of that last article, but I should have this within a week if not sooner. I glanced at the Semiotics Of Salem Witch Trials article, by the way, it reads like an essay at the moment. You're trying to rewrite it? GabrielF (talk) 04:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. A new user created it yesterday and I didn't just want to slap a maintenance tag on it. I think it contains some salvageable info and there certainly seems to be some scholarship on the topic. I told the creating user on their talk page that I would be happy to help turn it into something that would conform to WP standards. Deyyaz [ Talk | Contribs ] 07:43, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I see a similar work cited on p.124 of this book, which might relate to this paper, but you are more likely looking for OCLC 49875944, also catalogued as OCLC 612106352. It seems to be fairly widely held. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:46, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the last two OCLC-signatures are the book from where I would need this one article. Thanks for the search. Someone around with access? --h-stt !? 12:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps this is available directly to you? LeadSongDog come howl! 13:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Place your request at the German couterpart of this page: de:WP:BIBA. Both the magazine and the book are held by German libraries and will be delivered to you within short time. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 17:41, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did not mention that the Munich copy is unavailable, maybe lost at the library where it is recorded. Of course I tried to get it myself there first before making requests here. On this attempt I spent about half an hour with a librarian in a charming little library just off a balcony that is overlooking some mounted dinosaurs. While the librarian tried to locate the publication and did not find it, I browsed through early editions of Darwin's Origins of Species and Descent of Man. I love libraries and I know my way around them. Please deal with this request and me as a capable, long term Wikipedian and avid contributor to the corresponding Germany counterpart of this page. I do know what I am doing and I know why I am asking here. Again: I am looking for a scan of a short excerpt of a fairly widely available publication, can someone please help me get it? --h-stt !? 13:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get me wrong... I'm a German Wikipedian as well and I didn't want to push you off. The magazine is held at Frankfurt University, the book at FU Berlin and TU Freiberg. So I thought, you could be able to get the scan quite fast over there. If that's not possible we'll have to wait for someone resolving this for you here.

March 2011: Time Magazine Article from 1959 and Health Physics 1961, one more time
Resolved

1.) Am hoping to see an article from Time Magazine: Vol. 73 from 1959, Author: Henry Robinson Luce. The reference I have does not include an actual article title nor specific page numbers, but page 65 of that volume is within the article I need (which is regarding the Cecil Kelley criticality accident).

2.) Also: my pleas for access to the 1961 Health Physics article from last month on this topic have still gone unanswered (see Feb. 2011, above) but the desire remains and my hopes are not yet gone-- does no one have access to old issues of Health Physics?? Thank you! KDS4444Talk 01:03, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Our article on Elihu Embree currently states that The Emancipator was the "first newspaper in the United States devoted exclusively to the cause of abolishing slavery." It is sourced to this article.

Trying to resolve a content dispute which involves pages 558 & 559 of the above book, here at GBooks. I cannot see those pages in the preview.

Author is Upinder Singh (Pearson Education, India) & the ISBNs are 813171120X & 9788131711200. Can anyone get hold of scans for the relevant pages please? I realise that this is a long shot. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 13:26, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can get a scan for you in a couple of days. In case the page numbering for my library's copy is different - you want the section "The Far South" in the chapter Emerging Regional Conflagrations, c. 600-1200 CE, right? GabrielF (talk) 17:05, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Yes, it is the two pages prior to the heading "Religious and political symbolism in the Tanjavur temple", in the section you refer to. As far as I can tell, there is only one edition but let's hope that is correct - I wouldn't want you to be going on some needle/haystack hunt. The entire farrago escalated to ANI today & resulted in a temp block + a two day page protection, so the timing will be perfect. There are a few people thinking that something may have been taken out of context. Me?

Do you know anything about how the circular numbers work? My library seems to have many volumes of the ICAO circular from 1948-1988, but I'm a little confused about the volume numbering. Does anything in the catalog here [19] look like what you're looking for?GabrielF (talk) 18:33, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like HOLLIS HL0UAY is the volume he's after. The years 1959-1962 were Circulars 58-63. Somewhere in there should be the specific entry. I'd guess it is at volume 59, issue number 54, pages 240-245, but ymmv. The "AN" seems to designate that it is from the ICAO's "Air Navigation" bureau. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do you think the slash in " 96a 765.8 1959/1962 (58/63)" means 58 through 63 and not 58 and 63? Through seems more likely to me but it's a bit confusing since I've never seen them use slashes like that before. GabrielF (talk) 21:16, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Could be. It looks as if the numbers only go up over time, so it may mean that during the years 1959 to 1962 they published issues 58 to 63, i.e. they followed an irregular publication schedule. You might try Hollis' "ask a librarian" function and give them the full "ICAO Accident Digest, Circular 59-AN/54 (240-245)". No doubt they could quickly eyeball HL0UAY and tell you if it contains that entry. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Washington Post article called Preserving Rare Genes, published September 13, 1991, authored by Hank Burchard. The beginning of the article can be seen at this link.
  • Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Museum's Rare Breeds Endangered or Extinct Farm Animals in Exhibit, May 1, 1992, extract here

Any help on these would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dana boomer (talk) 14:34, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a request transferred from de:WP:Bibliotheksrecherche/Anfragen.

I would therefore have to order it from a foreign library for 20 € (still no comparison to the original price of this work). I would be very thankful if anyone were able to make a scan of this work. The editor who requested it is a highly productive author and the results of his work would also be a valuable basis for any English articles on this topic. I know this is a lot of work. I would return the favour at any time, please let me know when you need a paper or book from Germany. Best regards, Toter Alter Mann (talk) 23:59, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And I would appreciate additional source material i never thought of (interviews/scientific articles - the language doesn't matter) Just add the Information to my notices at de:Benutzer:Critican.kane/Spielwiese or send me an wiki-mail.

No problem. Unfortunately, for the time period above my only access to those papers would be through getting the microfilm via interlibrary loan.

Public Law 86-90

Resolved

I'm looking for an official (.gov) for the original text of Public Law 86-90 which was a proclamation by Eisenhower in 1959 establishing Captive Nations Week.Smallman12q (talk) 12:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about that but JSTOR 126589 may be of some use, as may [24]. I'm sure you're already aware of this collection. At this transcript of the 22 July 1959 Eisenhower press conference, it includes

Now, as far as the resolution about the captive nations, this was a resolution by the Congress, asked me to issue a proclamation, which I did; and asked the United States to conduct ceremonies in memory of the plight of such peoples. 1

1 The Joint Resolution (S.J. Res. 111), designating the third week of July as "Captive Nations Week," is Public Law 86-90 (73 Stat. 212). On July 17 the President issued Proclamation 3303 "Captive Nations Week, 1959" (24 F.R. 5773), urging the people of the United States "to study the plight of the Soviet-dominated nations and to recommit themselves to the support of the just aspirations of the peoples of those captive nations."
Accordingly, we might try a search for "73 Stat. 212" or "24 F.R. 5773". The former finds this book which has LBJ's consequent proclamations. It also finds JSTOR 2203718 which mentions it in passing under the title "Repealing the Cold War". Hope some of this helps.LeadSongDog come howl! 23:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The works at Gorton are intended for the manufacture of rails, bars, plates, tyres, and forgings of Bessemer steel. It is purposed to erect in them four pairs of 5-ton converters. The area inclosed by the walls is of a rectangular shape, adjoining on one side a line of railway from which two sidings lead into the large yard for storing raw material — this yard being 560 feet long and 180 feet wide.

This is said to be particularly effective when "white iron," or iron containing a small percentage of carbon, is worked in the converter. The supply of additional heat to the charge during the period of desilicatization maintains the mass in a state of sufficient fluidity until the combustion of the carbon contained in the iron itself is so far advanced as to require no further supply of heat.

It has grown up by successive additions and alteration, and the machineery and plant are not always in the most suitable relative position.

The most important object in this forge is a steam hammer of 16 tons head, and about 8 feet fall, constructed at a recent date by Mr. Haswell, of Vienna.

Changes in methods of manufacture, increased machinery, and increased plant, as they come into use one after the other, must be accommodated within a space already occupied, and subdivided by the existing arrangement of the works; and so it happens that the appearance of the majority of our great works is that of an agglomeration of buildings, machinery, and appliances of all kinds, strewed over an irregular..."

Here's the one from the Orange Coast Magazine. Goodvac (talk) 06:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Joan Armatrading Hopes 'The Key' Finds Success" from Orange Coast Magazine (pages 130–131)
Viewpoint Music: Joan Armatrading Hopes 'The Key' Finds Success

Joan Armatrading, comfortably clad in a sweat shirt and jeans, entered the small room inside A&M Records' publicity department. She was nearly an hour late for her 1:00 pm interview. It wasn't that she takes pleasure in being fashionably late, or is inconsiderate of other people's time. Rather, it was merely a chain reaction— her earlier interviews ran late, putting her behind schedule. Who knows what time she got to her 6:00 pm appointment.

Armatrading, a singer/songwriter with distinctive, emotional vocals and sensitive, personal lyrics, was visiting her record company prior to an LA concert appearance— one stop on her current worldwide tour. Although she has been around for 10 years, and has nine albums to her credit, her show didn't sell out. Still, the cult following who did attend her performance enjoyed it, as did the critics.

But then, Armatrading has always been a favorite of the critics. The New York Times once called her "the best unknown pop star in the business," while Playboy called her "one of the most interesting ladies in music." Newsweek described her as "heroic... irresistable," while the Boston Globe suggested "In a sense, what Joan Baez was to the politically active '60s, Joni Mitchell was to the introspective, apolitical '70s... If the yet-undefined '80s are still up for grabs— and they probably are— a strong vote should go to another Joan... Joan Armatrading."

Her problem has been exposure, more specifically, radio airplay. For the St. Kitt's-born, English-bred songstress, radio airplay is the key.

The Key is also the name of her current album, which, unlike most of her previous works, is getting airplay. On the whole, it's more electric and punchier than the fare to which Armatrading fans have become accustomed. Three songs in particular, Drop the Pilot, Rosie, and Call Me Names have been added to several local FM album-oriented rock stations.

"You have to be played on me radio," Armatrading said. "They're (the public) not going to know you if they don't play it.

"Some of the things I hear on the radio, I wonder, 'If they played that, why not me?' Maybe they just don't like me," she said with a laugh.

Actually, Armatrading, whose strong alto voice and unusual style differ from just about everybody's, realizes her sound is, well, not exactly the kind of material normally heard over the airwaves. In fact, she jokes about it, although she realizes it isn't very funny.

"The first time I heard myself over the radio," she recalled, "I thought it sounded kind of strange, and not just because it was me. It didn't fit in with what was played before it, or after it, but I liked it. "It's just a matter of listening to it. Maybe people listening now will have the same reaction I had 10 years ago. If they listen, maybe they will realize that it can fit in."

Listening to a Joan Armatrading record is an acquired taste, something akin to eating squid. Both can be hard to digest, but are considered delicacies.

The third of six children, Joan was born on December 9, 1950 on the Caribbean island of St. Kitt's. Her father was a St. Kitt's native, while her mother was from Antigua. In early 1958, the family moved to Birmingham, England.

Armatrading taught herself to play the guitar, absorbing such disparate influences as Jim Reeves, English pop star Tommy Steele, Nat King Cole, and Van Morrison. She wrote her first song at age 14, and eventually began playing clubs in the Birmingham area. Her first album, Whatever's For Us, was released in 1973.

Although she is still trying to establish herself in the United States, Armatrading has a substantial following in Great Britain and Europe. To date, she has sold seven million records worldwide and earned more than 20 international gold records. "I would like to sell more records in America," she said, "not so people could look at me walking down the street and say, 'There's Joan Armatrading.' But I would like to walk down a street and hear someone singing my songs. That would be great.

With The Key, Armatrading may get her wish. Produced by Steve Lillywhite (Peter Gabriel, XTC, Siouxie and the Banshees, and U2) and Val Garay (Kim Carnes' Grammy-winning Bette Davis Eyes), the album is commercial-oriented.

"It took Bob Seger a long time to make it in America, and he lives here," Armatrading said. "It took him 10 years before he was an overnight success. I'm in that position now."

THE B SIDE

Joan Armatrading, The Key (A&M) — The husky vocals and sensitive lyrics of this commercially long-overdue introspective singer/songwriter has finally combined to form a package that may expose her to a mass audience. Side one opens with the controversial (I Love It When You) Call Me Names, a masochistic ditty the singer claims she wrote as a joke. The song is about a skinny, wimpy man who is having a fling with a big woman who frequently beats him up and calls him names. Sample the lyrics:

I can't wait to see you again
I know you 're gonna slap my face
You beat me up then beat me up again
And over and over and over and over...

Big woman and a short short man
And he loves it
When she beats his brains out
He's pecked to death
But he loves the pain
And he loves it
When she calls him names...

"I thought it would be sort of fun to write a song like that, and so far the American public has seen the humor in it," the singer said. In any event, there are other songs on the album not as free spirited as this, but just as catchy.

In fact, the first side of The Key is a delight. Foolish Pride and Drop the Pilot—the latter produced by Val Garay of Bette Davis Eyes fame—are instantly accessible, something Armatrading has lacked in previous works. Also worthwhile is What Do Boys Dream and the title track.
Thanks! I don't think the album sold quite as well as was promised in that article, but it's interesting nonetheless! I'll await the second one. Graham87 14:05, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A strange paper by a respected entomologist

Hullo, looking for the following paper by Alexandre Arsène Girault. It seems it was available in the Natural History Museum before but it's coming up with a 'Not Found' now.

  • Girault, A. A. 1920b: Some insects never before seen by mankind. Brisbane: privately printed, 4 pp.

Cheers if you find it, but it's not really an important thing. :) There's just a humorous story behind this and if possible, I'd like to write about it.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 23:17, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cephalopoda

Resolved

I wonder if anyone has access to any of the the following:

  • Adam, W. 1939a. "Cephalopoda Part I. Le genre Sepioteuthis Blainville, 1824". Siboga-Expeditie, Monographie (Leiden, E.J. Brill). LVa: 1–33, 1 pl.
  • Adam, W. 1954. "Cephalopoda Part III. Céphalopodes a l’exclusion des genres Sepia, Sepiella et Sepioteuthis". Siboga-Expeditie, Monographie (Leiden, E.J. Brill). LVc: 123–193, 3 pls.

It's not really that necessary, so no worries if not.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 20:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What sort of publications are these? Are LVa and LVc abbreviations, for journals or something? —innotata 20:06, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The author is William Adam, a Belgian malacologist. LVa and LVc are 55a and 55c respectively. They're volume numbers as it is part of the Siboga-Expeditie series, a series of monographs on different taxa recovered from the Siboga Expedition. They're all published separately by E.J. Brill, I think. I've amended the original citations to make this clearer.
I think it's this entry in OpenLibrary.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 20:44, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and pl. and pls. are "plates", I assume.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 20:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can't get them here; there are only three copies listed on WorldCat (searching for "siboga 1939"/"siboga 1954" appears to get all the entries) of the first one, but more of the second. —innotata 21:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that LV denotes Monograph 55, "Cephalopoda", by Louis Joubin. Other monographs in the Siboga-Expeditie series can be seen here in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, also at this collection at the Internet Archive. It is apparent that the monographs are not in volume order. The back matter in each volume contains a list of earlier published monographs in the sequence. I've looked through several volumes, but didn't find the ones that contained monograph LVa or LVc. It may just be a matter of persistence. LeadSongDog come howl! 22:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't quite get the volume system, but the requested parts are from 1939 and 1954, and I think I can be fairly sure after looking through the listings that all of them on the Internet Archive/BHL are from before 1923 (out of copyright in the U.S.), and none of them are on Cephalopoda. —innotata 22:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is likely that Adam's publications are translations of earlier works in French by Joubin from the Siboga-Expiditie series, which seems to greatly predate Adam. LeadSongDog come howl! 23:41, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Adam's work is in French. :P He's Belgian, heh. It's definitely not a translation anyway from secondhand citations of it. The volumes may be "preallocated" based on the different collections from the Siboga Expedition. Anyway, I appreciate the efforts. I've already tried my google-fu on this and no luck. At this point I'm assuming it's likely to simply not be digitized yet.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 23:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
