1 vol. grand in-8 reliure demi-basane blonde, dos à 2 nerfs, Librairie P. Juliot, Clermont-Ferrand, 1896, VIII-340 pp. et 12 planches hors texte Le présent ouvrage fut "publié pour être offert aux membres du Club Alpin Français qui viendront à Clermont, à l'occasion du Congrès du mois d'août 1896. Il est l'oeuvre de la collaboration improvisée de plusieurs membres de la Section d'Auvergne. Quelques semaines avant la date du Congrès, le bureau de la Section avait décidé qu'un itinéraire des diverses excursions serait imprimé et distribué aux congressistes. On se partagea le travail de rédaction, et quand chacun eut apporté son contingent, il se trouva qu'au lieu d'un simple itinéraire, on avait presque un ouvrage d'ensemble sur l'Auvergne [ ... ]". Etat très satisfaisant (premier plat de couv. conservé mais sans faux -titre ni titre, petites restaurations marginales en couv. conservée et premier feuillet de texte et dans un f. en marge, reliure modeste mais bien solide) pour cet ouvrage très rare, qui propose un voyage très savant et érudit dans le Puy-de-Dôme (Clermont, Montferrand, Gergovie, la Limagne, le Puy-de-Dôme, de Royat à Randanne, du Mont-Dore au lac Chambon, à Marols et Saint-Nectaire, la Bourboule, les lacs de Besse,, etc...) mais également dans le Cantal.

1894WRCAM55246Helena Mt 1894. 48pp. including eleven full-page illustrations and a full-page map. 12mo. Original printed green pictorial wrappers. Previous ownership signature on front wrapper see note below. Wrappers lightly soiled. Near fine. In a folding cloth chemise and cloth slipcase spine gilt. A satirical work on the serious subject of locating the Montana state capitol in the guise of a survey of Helena society and its mores. This pamphlet was issued by the supporters of Anaconda as Montana's capital city and though they ultimately lost that war they won this battle attacking the pretensions of Helena's elites. Home to a number of mining millionaires Helena is described as "Montana's center of fashion refinement gentility etiquette kettle drums high fives progressive euchre and mixed drinks." In the contest between Helena and Anaconda for state capitol Helena is shown to be vastly superior civilized and cultured whereas in Anaconda "the merchants do not even carry silk stockings in stock." The humorous line-drawn illustrations are excellent and the map shows Helena as the railroad center of the state. The illustration on the rear wrapper shows Helena as an octopus ensnaring surrounding towns including Butte and Virginia City in its tentacles and the facetious advertisements on the final three pages are for businesses such as "Sin Brothers and Bum: Finest Opium Dens in the City" and "Bustem & Skinem" real estate and mining agents who specialize in the "salting of mines." <br> <br> The Eberstadts loved this title asking $200 for a copy in 1965: "A witty satire on the dead-serious subject of locating the capital.The alleged villainy of Marcus Daly - who spent half a million dollars to bring the capital to Anaconda - is painted blacker than black; he is even accused of consorting with miners and common laboring men and being interested in the miserable affairs of their families. A comparative table demonstrates Helena's overwhelming superiority in the number of silk hats No. 7 shoes silk night shirts kid gloves cocktail and champagne guzzlers ladies who rip other ladies up the back and skeletons in closets." <br> <br> This copy bears the ownership signature on the front wrapper of Richard Lockey Jr. son of Richard Lockey a pioneering Montana real estate agent banker and merchant. As a partner with Peter Winne in the Denver and Helena Investment Company Lockey senior arranged for the donation of the site for the Montana State Capitol in 1895. He was therefore intimately involved with the subject of this work. SMITH PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA 4318. GRAFF 1846. EBERSTADT 168:334. DECKER 26:223. hardcover books
