This collection stops in 1985 and the titles published in the successive years were greatly decreased with only 50 more titles published. Meaning that completing this collection might still be very difficult but certainly not impossible. The vast majority of the collection is in near fine to fine condition. The Limited Editions Club LEC was founded in 1929 by George Macy to publish high-quality illustrated books for a membership of 1500. The club successfully produced 12 books annually under George Macy and his wife Helen until 1971. However from 1971 to 1978 the LEC faced financial challenges and underwent five ownership changes losing the Heritage Press which had published trade editions of their books. Despite these challenges the LEC continued to produce beautiful books. The Limited Editions Club unknown

The highly sought after July-December 1878 volume known as the Cyprus volume is present. Please note that due to the scale of the set a complete collation is not available here although we would be happy to offer further information and collation as required. The Illustrated London News was the world's first illustrated weekly newspaper; the first issue appeared on Saturday 14 May 1842. Printer and newsagent Herbert Ingram moved from Nottingham to London in early 1842. Inspired by how the Weekly Chronicle always sold more copies when it featured an illustration he had the idea of publishing a weekly newspaper that would contain pictures in every edition. By 1863 The Illustrated London News was selling more than 300000 copies every week enormous figures in comparison to other British newspapers of the time. The work rose to fame following its publication of the designs for the Crystal Palace in 1851 and of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington.The work is credited with moving illustrations from purely a satirical device in mainstream news to a credible and factual reporting tool publishing over 750000 illustrations during its existence. Important historical moments to these volumes include The Great Exhibition of 1851 'The New Church of St Nicholas Hamburg' Queen Queen Victoria visiting Germany The Beethoven festival Pilbrow's atmospheric railway the burning of the Bowery Theatre New York the funeral of the Duke of Cambridge 'Visit of the Queen and Prince Consort to The Emperor Napoleon at Paris 1855 ' Sir Allen William Young's 1876 expedition on the 'Pandora' for which he received a knighthood in recognition of his services the death and funeral of the Prince Imperial Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte The Phoenix Park Murders and the departure of Sir John Franklin on what is now known as his 'Lost Expedition' to the second volume at page 328. There is also extensive coverage of the Zulu war and other military conflicts in addition to the sections of sheet music and general newspaper puzzles. Volume LVI contains notable articles including the plans for the proposed Channel Railway Ferry plans relating to The Amsterdam Ship Canal and the obituary for influential Private Secretary General Charles Grey.

Compilation of partly manuscript partly printed documents. The manuscripts are written on various types of laid paper by multiple hands.

In fine contemporary vellum binding fastened by looped fabric thongs to wooden beads lower bead missing. Mss.: ff. 40; printed content: see details below. <p><br /> A unique and important compilation of contemporary manuscripts and pivotal printed documents related to the founding of Banco Nacional Spain’s central bank including the foundation document itself.<br /> <p><p><br /> Banco de España the Spanish national bank originally founded as the Banco Nacional de San Carlos in 1782 was established to stabilize Spain's economy during a period of financial strain. Initiated by Francisco Cabarrús and supported by King Carlos III the bank aimed to address the depreciation of vales reales government-issued promissory notes used to fund public expenses. Over time the bank's role expanded becoming instrumental in managing public debt and regulating the country's finances. In 1856 it evolved into the Banco de España officially becoming Spain's central bank with a mandate to issue currency oversee monetary policy and support economic stability nationwide.<br /> <p><p><br /> This compilation of manuscripts and printed documents closely follows the founding process and broader goals of the Banco Nacional de San Carlos reflecting Spain's dependence on resources from its extensive territories. The printed pamphlets illustrate the financial strategies behind the bank's creation with detailed instructions on the circulation and management of vales reales and mandates requiring municipalities to invest surplus funds in the new bank. These documents reflect the Crown’s intention to consolidate financial control stabilize the economy and provide a structured way for local and national resources—including those from colonial holdings—to support public finances.<br /> <p><p><br /> The manuscripts provide a valuable regional perspective particularly from Catalonia revealing the practical challenges of currency management and tax collection. They highlight the role of American silver in Spain's financial system as the flow of precious metals from the colonies was vital to the country’s monetary stability. Local adaptations to Royal Decrees in Catalonia including currency equivalence between Catalonia and Castile and the handling of coinage in military and regional treasuries showcase the financial complexities that the Banco Nacional was meant to address. This indicates that the owner of this volume likely held a significant role within the Spanish financial or administrative system likely connected to the Royal Treasury military treasury or a regional financial authority in Catalonia.<br /> <p><p><br /> Together this compilation offers a detailed view of how Spain sought to unify and strengthen its financial system through the Banco Nacional capturing the interplay between regional and national interests as well as the influence of colonial resources. These documents not only outline the bank’s founding principles but also provide a glimpse into the economic challenges and solutions that shaped Spain’s efforts to modernize its financial landscape drawing on wealth from the Americas to support its ambitions.<br /> <p><p><br /> The manuscript section comprising some fifteen documents provides an in-depth look at Catalonia’s financial landscape during the founding of the Banco Nacional de San Carlos. It begins by examining how commerce and stable currency systems drive national wealth establishing the need for a centralized bank to regulate currency effectively. Other documents outline treasury practices and the exclusion of damaged coins underscoring the importance of maintaining currency integrity—a role well-suited to centralized oversight.<br /> <p><p><br /> The collection further explores currency conversion between Catalonia and Castile revealing regional discrepancies that highlight the benefits of a national bank to ensure consistent exchange rates. Adjustments to gold valuations and compliance inspections reflect the challenges of coordinating regional policies which a central institution could simplify. There are also critiques of fiscal practices and inefficiencies in tax collection illustrating a need for the standardized oversight that the Banco Nacional could provide.<br /> <p><p><br /> Final chapters discuss the drawbacks of currency notes and proposals to eliminate them suggesting that centralized regulation could reduce financial instability. Collectively these documents emphasize the importance of the Banco Nacional in standardizing currency practices maintaining fiscal integrity and supporting Spain’s economic stability by unifying regional practices under a central authority.<br /> <p><p><br /> The printed portion of this compilation consists of six documents that delve into the foundational principles and regulations surrounding the establishment of the Banco Nacional de San Carlos. Together these documents reveal the financial strategies critical to addressing Spain’s economic challenges in the late 18th century.<br /> The series begins with Antonio Pérez Rocha’s extremely scarce mid-17th-century political discourse which explores fundamental concepts of currency distinguishing between commercial and provincial coinage and emphasizing the need for a stable currency supply to support economic growth. His treatise underscores the pressing necessity for reliable currency alternatives—a key rationale behind the creation of the Banco Nacional.<br /> <p><p><br /> The subsequent Royal Decrees outline detailed directives for municipal investments into the Banco Nacional drawing surplus funds from local revenues to support the bank’s capital needs. This step was vital in establishing a stable financial base for the institution. Further decrees set conditions for the circulation of vales reales government promissory notes which were essential in raising funds to support the Crown’s obligations. By managing these notes the Banco Nacional would provide a regulated environment to address liquidity needs and control the depreciation of currency in circulation.<br /> <p><p><br /> Additional documents detail specific instructions for the military treasury’s handling of these vales illustrating the close integration of military and financial interests in Spain’s centralized banking strategy. Other decrees describe the issuance of further promissory notes to secure funds for public expenditure a move indicative of Spain’s growing reliance on credit instruments to meet its financial demands.<br /> <p><p><br /> The collection concludes with the final decree formally establishing the Banco Nacional de San Carlos marking the bank’s official role in stabilizing Spain’s currency system and supporting commercial activities both in the kingdom and its colonies. This foundational decree reflects the bank’s broader mission: to bring cohesion and oversight to Spain’s fragmented financial system thereby enhancing national economic stability. Collectively these printed documents offer a comprehensive overview of the policies and directives that underscored the Banco Nacional’s creation and highlight its pivotal role in Spain’s evolving financial landscape.<br /> <p><p><br /> <br /> <br /> <p><p><br /> List of the printed documents:<br /> <p><p><br /> <br /> <p><p><br /> Perez Rocha Antonio: Caption title: Al Rey nuestro Señor discurso politico en que se declaran los Assumptos y Medios siguientes. … Por Antonio Pérez Rocha natural de la ciudad de Compostela.<br /> <p><p><br /> Madrid: S.n. mid 17th century. ff. 14.<br /> <p><p><br /> First edition.

Joints and extremities lightly rubbed one board with a couple of faint scratches two rear boards with neat older repairs to short tears at tail edge but the bindings quite sound and most attractive on the shelf. Flyleaves a little foxed minor offsetting from plates to text leaves occasionally more pronounced but never offensive isolated minor marginal foxing to plates otherwise very fine WITH CLEAN BRIGHT PLATES.<br/> <br/> This is a collection of major early 19th century color plate books with well-drawn and richly-colored engravings in bindings that make a handsome appearance on the shelf. All of these works have appealing plates where the costumes of the various social strata are carefully and colorfully delineated. And two of the volumes--those showing British costumes and the book on Chinese punishments--contain in addition a good deal of diverting background detail that serves as a revealing context for each of the costumes depicted. The content of each of the volumes is worth noting. With a few exceptions the plates in the "Costumes of China" portray ordinary working-class men and women toiling at their trades. We see a bookseller with his wares spread out on a mat women sewing and embroidering a butcher a fisher a barber a man with a "magic lantern" show and a "man striking a small gong during an eclipse" an ancient ritual that the author tells us he was privileged to witness on 17 November 1789. The "Punishments of China" volume is filled with almost gleefully painful depictions of all degrees of disciplinary action from the relatively minor twisting of the ears or chaining to an iron pole to the humiliating ordeal of the wooden collar to methods of execution by beheading or by crucifixion using a cord. The opulent and brightly colored costumes in Dalvimart's volume on Turkey are mostly those of the ruling classes although also represented is a wide variety of native dress from the many regions of the vast Turkish empire of the day which included Bosnia Albania Syria Egypt and parts of Greece. It is particularly interesting to contrast the clothing of the very heavily veiled Turkish and Egyptian women with the much more relaxed style of the Greek women and the nearly immodest garb of the female Bedouin. We also are shown a eunuch an odalisque from the harem a grand vizier various royal functionaries and government officials all splendidly attired. The Russian costumes based on engravings done by C. W. Müller at the request of Empress Catherine the Great are focused on the ethnic dress of the empire's many holdings. The Laplanders and Finns wear clothing that would look familiar to most Europeans but the Mongols in their Oriental dress would be quite exotic. The clothing of the northern tribes such as the Kamchatkans Aleutians Koriaks and Tungoosi will impress the modern reader with their similarity to the traditional dress of Native American and First Nation peoples. The Tchutski woman is even depicted naked to display her tattoos. Bertrand de Moleville's Austrian costumes also illustrate the native dress of the empire's citizens but the illustrations here are less fashion plates than romanticized scenes: peasant couples are shown courting and dancing; Croatian women gossip beside a stream; and a wild-haired Bohemian gypsy whose "profession is not hard to guess" from her state of "déshabillé" flees with her naked and no doubt illegitimate child. Pyne's "Costumes of Great Britain" is one of the most highly praised works in this set and for good reason: the simple working men and women of Britain it depicts are always shown going about their daily tasks in the midst of a well-realized scene. The woman selling "salop" a hot morning beverage is seated at her cart with its urn judiciously located by the watchman's stall surrounded by customers including soldiers and a woman with her market basket. A fireman with an ax and a torch hurries toward his engine company while they unwrap their hose. The potter is at his wheel the tanner is cleaning skins and the bill-sticker posts the winning lottery numbers. The clothing while carefully detailed is almost secondary to the depictions of everyday life. The "Military Costumes of Turkey" illustrates the official regalia "uniform" is much too drab a word for these outfits worn by officers in various regions of the empire. Perhaps the most intriguing plate here is that of the Ladle Bearer a post that was also illustrated in "Costumes of Turkey." What appears to be a man with a giant spoon is in fact the holder of an important military position equivalent to the color-bearer in a western army. We are told that the loss of its ladles is the greatest disgrace that can befall a Turkish regiment: if the two great ladles the size of a grown man that are borne into battle at the head of the troops are captured the regiment must be disbanded and formed anew. Former owner Edward Gordon Douglas-Pennant 1st Baron Penrhyn 1800-86 was a leading figure in the Welsh slate industry; he owned the Penrhyn Quarry the largest slate quarry in the world at the end of the 19th century. He was known for his paternalistic attitude to his employees creating the "model village" of Llandegai to house the quarry workers. It was notable for having "no corrupting alehouse." He was ruthless enough to fire 80 men in 1868 because they did not vote for his son George who was running for a seat in Parliament. Single volumes from this set appear with frequency in the marketplace; full sets show up much less often; sets as handsome and well preserved as the present are rarely seen. William Miller; T.

PROVENANCE: Margaret and Alfred Barr; acquired from Barr's estate by Thomas Walther; private collection Berlin. Margaret and Alfred Barr's presentation copy of the catalogue for the exhibition they had done so much to enable signed by all of the participating artists and by the gallerist Pierre Matisse.Pierre Matisse's presentation is in black ink to the foot of the blank 'Notes' leaf bearing the signatures of the participating artists: 'THIS IS A SPECIALLY SIGNED COPY FOR MARGARET AND ALFRED BARR / Pierre Matisse / NEW YORK MARCH 3d 1942'.The copy is signed in various colour inks by all of the participants: Marc Chagall blue ink Pavel Tchelitchew turquoise Ossip Zadkine red Eugene Berman purple Yves Tanguy umber Fernad Léger red Max Ernst blue André Masson red André Breton turquoise Amedée Ozenfant blue Kurt Seligmann umber Piet Mondrian blue / black Roberto Matta Echaurren sepia and Jacques Lipchitz green.It is significant that Margaret Scholari Barr known as Marga is listed first in the presentation by Pierre Matisse as from 1940 she had taken charge of the ongoing operations to help artists and writers fleeing Europe. Each individual required 'a visa from the State Department an affidavit of financial support an affidavit of moral sponsorship vouching that he or she was in imminent danger and would not be inimical to U.S. interests biographical sketches and letters of reference proving identities and the above and at least $400 for ocean passage'. In conjunction with Curt Valentin himself a beneficiary of the Barrs' help Kay Sage she married Yves Tanguy another beneficiary in 1940 Kay Boyle and the Emergency Rescue Committee. Although no exact list of all of those who benefited from the help of the Barrs and the ERC remains extant the majority of those who exhibited in 'Artists in Exile' did and the present catalogue represents a remarkable testament to their work their efforts and their humanity.The exhibition - perhaps an unlikely one given the range of participants and their differing outlooks temperaments and sympathies - was held at Pierre Matisse 41 East 57th Street New York from 3rd - 28th March 1942; each of the artists contributed one work undertaken after their arrival in the US those by Masson and Lipchitz were courtesy of the Buchholz Gallery.'Pierre Matisse did not run after publicity but there were times when publicity ran after him. That is what happened in March 1942 when the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York opened a show called 'Artists in Exile'. The title came fraught with pathos. So did the timing . The word 'exile' had sharp teeth . As he wrote to his father . 'I stayed in town to hang the exiles' show today instead of tomorrow. I took this precaution because all the exhibitors are right here in town. You know what they are like. They'd insist on giving me advice and making sure that their own painting had a very goood place . They number fourteen in all and I got them together for a group photograph. As most of them didn't speak to one another when they were in France I was afraid there would be trouble when they were all thrown together . '. Pierre Matisse quoted by John Russell.'In no sense were they a band of brothers. But they did all agree to huddle together before the camera . Given the variety of age instinct outlook nationality and relative achievement that was in question the show was necessarily the equivalent of alphabet soup. It was not likely that the fourteen artists in question would ever again be in the same room at the same time. Not only were they a tight fit in the space available but solidarity was minimal. And yet for an uneasy quarter of an hour along with other unlikely conjunctions André Masson sat next to Piet Mondrian and Marc Chagall sat between Max Ernst and Fernand Léger. There was zero eye contact. Unsmiling they sat stiff and still and stared straight ahead.' James Russell.' . as the situation became increasingly desperate across the Atlantic i.e. in Europe in the 1930s European artists scholars and arts workers began reaching out to MoMA for help. Working in concert with the Emergency Rescue Commitee ERC a group of New York-based activists MoMA staff including director Alfred H. Barr Jr. and his wife art historian Margaret Scholari Barr who led the initiative at the Museum helped their peers in Europe secure the papers and funds necessary to immigrate to the US . Scholari Barr made 'rescue' operations her full-time occupation in these years . Artists including André Breton Marc Chagall Max Ernst and Piet Mondrian were able to relocate here through the aid of the Barrs and the ERC.' MoMA catalogue.'Sometimes doing more than the government was willing to do MoMA was the final hope for many. The Barrs took advantage of their contacts and MoMA’s reputation to turn the museum into a literal protector and defender of modern art.' Christina Eliopoulos.see Christina Eliopoulos' 'In Search of MoMA’s “Lost†History: Uncovering Efforts to Rescue Artists and Their Patrons' MoMA 2016; see John Russell's 'Matisse: Father and Son' New York 1999 pp. 201 - 203.

An excellent copy overall. From the library of Abel E. Berland with his bookplate. Housed in a custom quarter-leather clamshell case.<br/><br/>The "Golden Legend" was extremely popular in the late Middle Ages not only on the Continent but also in Britain. Caxton printed an illustrated edition of his own translation in 1483 later reprinted by Wynkyn de Worde. But the English had to turn to copies printed abroad for the original Latin texts; as a result a number of Continental editions with early English provenances are recorded. "Depicting the lives of the saints in an array of factual and fictional stories The Golden Legend was perhaps the most widely read book of its time after the Bible during the late Middle Ages. It was compiled around 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine a scholarly friar and later archbishop of Genoa whose purpose was to captivate encourage and edify the faithful while preserving a vast store of information pertaining to the legends and traditions of the church" Princeton. Even today scholars of the period recognize it as a key Medieval text across fields in the humanities. "Art historians depend on it. Medievalists should know it inside out.For the rest of us it remains a treasure house of European culture crammed full of the things which everyone once upon a time used to know" Malcolm.<br/><br/>BMC I p 135.
