Myers 38 Taves & Michaluk V028.<br /> <br /> <p>An exceptionally fine copy of a very prettily designed book; Jules Verne was an international star and the novel was published in gift binding with a eye to the Christmas market. The book was advertised with a blurb from the Saturday Review: "Christmas without Jules Verne would be a sad time for many English boys." This copy was indeed gifted for Christmas several years later to a lucky schoolboy who had done well in English. By that time the novel had been published in Sampson Low's "Newer and Cheaper" editions. The superior first edition is scarce particularly in such nice shape.

Led by the visionary Impey Barbicane the club constructs a massive space gun in Florida and recruits adventurous companions - Captain Nicholl and the French traveler Michel Ardan - for the unprecedented voyage. The narrative blends scientific speculation with high-spirited adventure dramatizing the technical challenges of space travel while satirizing post-Civil War American enthusiasm for grandiose engineering.<br /> <br /> Verne's imaginative leap from orbital mechanics to the choice of Florida as the launch site anticipated with uncanny accuracy many aspects of twentieth-century space exploration making these works cornerstones of early science fiction.<br /> <br /> References: Edwards 3 & 7; Gondolo della Riva 10 & 14; Michaluk V003 & V007; Myers 26.

Pen annotation on verso with advertising information for the Nadar studio. Gold medal. Universal Exhibition 1878. Blue stamp; Publisher J. Kuhn Paris.

The author describes him thus in From the Earth to the Moon: ""He is a man of 42 years tall but already a little stooped like those caryatids who carry balconies on their shoulders. His strong head a veritable lion's mane shook at moments a fiery hair which made him a true mane. A short face broad at the temples adorned with a bristling mustache like a cat's whiskers and small somewhat disheveled tufts a myopic gaze completed this eminently feline physiognomy."" Handsome portrait of the writer by Nadar where he appears particularly warm and benevolent. Nadar unknown

1852000266Philadelphia: John Sartain & Co. 1852. First Edition . Half Morocco and Marbled Paper. Good Plus. 10" x 6.75. from engravings. Philadelphia: John Sartain & Co. 1852. Verne translation by Anne T. Wilbur. All eight numbers from volumes X and XI of Sartain's Union Magazine January through June 1857 comprising Vol X. with July and August of 1852 - after which Sartain's ceased publication - comprising Vol. XI. Vol. X 516 pp. Vol XI 208 pp. bound as one volume. 10" x 6.75" half black morocco with marbled paper boards. Personalized plate at center cover apparently as produced in the name of Jane A. Warner. Later of the Forbes Library Northampton MA. with that organization's bookplate at front pastedown and perforated stamp at title page other Forbes indication at rear endpapers. Binding is quite scuffed with corners and spine ends thoroughly affected; hinges starting. Sporadic light foxing throughout lightly showing a bit at the Verne first appearance in some margins only not affecting the Thoreau first appearances. Good plus for the volume Very Good plus or better for the textblock as a whole and the subject entries in particular. In the dying months of Sartain's Union Magazine in 1852 it might have been of some benefit had that publisher been able to look to the future and understand the significance of what was contained in the the May July and August numbers: The first appearance in English of Jules Verne "A Voyage in a Balloon" in May and the first appearance of any portion of Henry David Thoreau's Walden two essays "The Iron Horse" in July and "A Poet Buying a Farm" in August. Therein the last Sartain's hardbound volume contained seminal appearances of what would become two of the the most significant and most widely reprinted authors in history in two vastly disparate genres. Sartain's had with its last gasps done with these three short and - at the time - inconspicuous pieces exactly what so many periodical publications of its type and era sought to do. This volume contains all eight months; it appears that some perhaps most other examples of the hardbound volume did not include the July and August numbers containing Thoreau's essays although statistics on this point are unavailable to me. "A Voyage in a Balloon" - as "Un Voyage en Balloon" - was Verne's second tale published originally in France a year earlier. Anne T. Wilbur translated the 7-page story for Sartain's - and even received in the index authorship credit although the story itself is rightly credited. Later to become part of the Doctor Ox aggregations it was - Taves & Michaluk V012 - "apparently the first time Verne ever appeared in English." He would have been about twenty-four years old at the time. The two Thoreau essays - respectively three pages and one page in Sartain's dense double-column presentation - were the first taste ever of Walden which was published in book form two years later in 1854. Bearing as well the seemingly countless articles stories poems and charming engravings which were the stock-in-trade of such publications this one particular dying volume of Sartain's Magazine may be much more significantly a peerless confluence of inchoate genius from two who would thereafter take distinct paths to literary immortality.
