La parution de Dominique, s’inspirant des amours de Fromentin avec Madame Howland, suscita dès sa sortie l'admiration de toute la jeune école naturaliste. Flaubert qui était sur le point de se mettre à travailler à la version révisée de L’Education sentimentale, écrivit à Fromentin qu’il avait lu son roman d’un seul coup : « Je brûle de l’envie de vous voir pour en causer et pour vous en féliciter. » Le 20 janvier 1863, Ludovic Halévy déclarait à Fromentin que Dominique resterait « une des œuvres les plus touchantes et les plus complètes de la littérature de tous les temps. » « Eugène Fromentin (1820-1876) est un grand peintre qui fut, la plume à la main, un artiste aussi délicat que lorsqu’il maniait le pinceau. » (Carteret).

1824ST17496-014Zurich: by the author and Henry Fuessli and Comp 1824-25. FIRST EDITION. 445 x 325 mm. 17 1/2 x 12 3/4". 26 leaves of descriptive text. Lacking title page and dedication.Commentary by art historian Johann Jacob Horner. <br/> Modern tan half morocco over olive green buckram raised bands spine panels with gilt ornament red morocco label. 24 FINE AQUATINT VIEWS COLORED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND. Brunet III 357. Text pages variably foxed from a little to very but somehow THE LOVELY PLATES IN FINE CLEAN CONDITION--fresh and bright with pleasing coloring in an unworn sympathetic binding.<br/> <br/> This is a rare complete colored set of Hüber's famed views of Pompeii much sought-after by armchair travellers after excavations uncovered that urban time capsule in the late 18th century. The German-born Hüber 1787-1871 settled in Naples in his early 20s studying landscape painting with Dutch émigré painter Jacob Philipp Hackert 1737-1807 who was known for his lush scenes often featuring ruins. His arrival in the region coincided with the occupation of Naples by the French who accelerated the excavations underway at Pomepii which had been buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The rapid burial of the city in volcanic ash had captured a moment in time and the opportunity to see a well-preserved example of life in the ancient Roman Empire caught in medias res drew eager travellers on the Grand Tour of the Continent. Hüber's well-executed views often picture these tourists and their contemporary dress contrasts sharply with the classical ruins. Lord Napier in his "Notes on Modern Painting at Naples" 1855 credits Hüber for introducing the use of watercolors to the meticulously drawn landscapes then being produced. This innovation is displayed in the hand-colored plates here which were also issued in uncolored state. Napier was correct to appreciate the value of adding colors which increases both the drama of the views and the pleasure of the viewer. Because the attractive sets with color were often broken up complete volumes of the colored plates are rarely seen for sale: we could trace just three such copies sold at auction as listed in RBH and ABPC the two best ones were the Feltrinelli copy which sold for $14330 in 2001 and the Donaueschingen copy fetching $13750 in 2014. Ours does not have the distinguished provenance attached to those copies and it lacks two preliminary leaves but the text is present and most important the lovely colored plates are in fine condition. by the author and Henry Fuessli and Comp unknown

189544165New York December 8th 1895. Autograph letter signed on recto and verso of single cream laid sheet 22x14.5cm.; approx. 85 words; dated 26 West 61st N.Y. Dec 8th and simply addressed to "Parker" presumably Stanton's friend and fellow-suffragist Parker Pillsbury 1809-1898 who with Stanton had co-edited the women's rights newsletter "The Revolution" twenty years earlier. Faint mail folds small unobtrusive archival paper remnants to two corners from having been previously mounted else Near Fine and still quite fresh. Brief contemporary 1897 pencil note at bottom edge "Mrs. Stanton - born Nov. 12 1815 Now past 82 - C.E.R." though based on contents we would place this letter as having been written around 1895. Brief but significant missive addressed to Parker Pillsbury the American minister and women's suffrage advocate regarding a copy of Stanton's "Woman's Bible" she had just sent him. "I wonder if I could interest them a "Mrs. White" and one other sufficiently in the Woman's Bible to sell ten or twenty copies in there sic respective woman's clubs It is published at my expense hence I am trying to push its circulation." The controversial "Woman's Bible" a series of commentaries pertaining to the portions of the Bible relating to women was published in two parts in 1895 and 1898 and composed almost entirely by Stanton alone her committee of Bible revisors finding the project too controversial and harmful to the cause of women's suffrage. Clearly at the time of writing this letter the book was still meeting with resistance thus our placing the date at around 1895 Stanton turning to Pillsbury as a potential source of influential and wealthy patrons she inquires "Is Mrs. White still living & working Is that rich woman that Mr. illegible used to visit in Maine living". But by 1897 the book had become a best seller though many of the members of the women's suffrage movement would continue to distance themselves from it. This letter quite significant as a testimony to the aging Stanton organizer of the historical 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and her continuing indefatigable efforts and initial lack of support in getting this work circulated.

18904628Paris 1890 1890. A beautiful late nineteenth-century illuminated manuscript with the text of the Ordinary of the Mass. 178x125mm. Title page and thirty-two pages. Signed at foot of final page "Germaine Mimey 1890" with the initials "G.M." at the foot of each page. Bound by Emile Rousselle signed at foot of front doublure in tan morocco with a single fillet border framing a wide gilt tooled border inside which is a smaller gilt tooled border which frames a shield with three fleur de lys surmounted by a crown. Below the shield is a dragon. Either side of the shield is stamped four times the letter "F" surmounted by a crown. This is repeated on the lower cover. The spine has five raised bands with four compartments decorated with a fleur de lys the second compartment being blank. The front and rear doublures are of blue morocco with gilt decoration and a brown calf diamond. Turn-ins decorated in gilt. Front and rear free endpapers are in brown silk. The illuminations are gorgeously delicate with the occasional block of colour. The spirit is genuinely medieval with a light sinuousness in contrast to the rather heavier Gothic Revival manner which is often in evidence in this type of late nineteenth century illumination. We have been unable to identify "F" unless of course it simply stands for "France" but with the crowns shield and fleur de lys this beautiful little Missal was clearly done for an aristocratic and perhaps even a royal patron although of course by 1890 he or she would have been a mere Pretender taking solace in this sumptuous devotional book.

UNIQUE FIRST EDITION SPECIALLY BOUND THE AUTHOR'S OWN COPY WITH HIS INSCRIPTIONS AS TO OWNERSHIP AND FAMILY ASSOCIATION. Ranking's wide-ranging work generally returns to the author's interest in Asiatic and African elephants and his "endeavor to trace the historical proofs that the fossil bones of elephants and wild beasts which have been found throughout Europe are the remains of those animals which have been employed in the wars religious ceremonies and amphitheatrical sports of the Romans and the Mongols" Preface. The book examines the historical roots of fossil remains found in Siberia and other countries arguing that these remains belong to elephants and other animals used in the wars religious ceremonies and amphitheatrical sports of the Romans and Mongols. The author traces the evidence from historical sources including accounts from Marco Polo and other travelers to prove that the number of elephants employed by these empires far exceeded previous estimates. <br> The book also explores the broader context of elephant usage in ancient times from their role in warfare to their significance in cultural and religious practices. Ultimately this book sheds light on the interconnectedness of human history and the natural world providing insights into the complex relationships between humans animals and the environment. <br> The volume full of "much amusing and instructive matter industriously accumulated and detailed with conciseness and perspicuity" American Quarterly Review March 1827 includes chapters on the lives of the Grand Khans and of Tamerlane the "Employment of Elephants from the earliest times" "Fossil Remains of Elephants" "Of Roman and Greek Wars in which Elephants were employed" "Sports and Combats in the Circus and Amphitheatre". Illustrated with a large folding map measuring approximately 17-1/2 by 21 inches unfolded "The Continent of Asia as conquered and governed by Genghis Kahn… and to the Death of Tamerlane" and with ten engraved plates: these include "The Emperor Kublai" a spectacular depiction of "The Emperor Kublai" going to war in a pavilion borne atop four elephants.; three numismatic plates depicting coins and medals from Roman Britain; the "Defeat of Hannibal by Scripio at Zama" portraying a battle with armies cavalry and elephants; views of the "Amphitheatre of Claudius" and a "Circus" with numerous elephants giraffes and lions; and a folding map of Hannibal's storied campaign over the Alps "with large armies and numerous Elephants".
