184928070New York: Erasmus A. Kutz Sr. 1849. first Edition. Very Good. first Edition. 90 x 63 cm. Engraved trade-card on white glossy coated stock. Surface wear to lettering. Penciled on rear is the following: "May it be preserved through life Presented as a token of remembrance to Josephine Tyler by her friend Aidolaid H. Thimble July 26th 1849 by me. J Tyler." Erasmus A. Kutz Sr. was a New York City instrument maker. Born in England in 1778 he came to America after 1812. He is first listed in the New York City directories in 1818-1820 as a rule maker at 343 Water St. In 1842-1850 he is listed as a nautical and mathematical instrument maker at 180 Water h Newark we think this is the same as Burling Slip & Water. By 1850 the New Jersey census notes the 72 year old Kutz Sr. with no occupation. His son Erasmus A. Kutz Jr. was first listed in the New York City directories from 1839-40 as a rule maker at 2 Stanton from 1850-51 as an instrument maker at 117 Madison and in 1856 as an instrument maker at 91 Monroe. This trade card describes Erasmus A. Kutz as "Manufacturer & Importer of Mathematical Instruments Corner of Burling Slip & Water St New York." The card is printed on glossy stock with the note "Kelham Sc Fenchurch St. London" lower right indicating it was printed in London. While the trade card shows a multitude of instruments around the border instruments signed by either Kutz are rare - Webster notes one example Smart adds six additional items. The border shows not only mathematical instruments but nautical instruments charts & pilots sextants and octants confirming that this is Kutz Sr. Trade cards by American scientific instrument manufacturers from this period are rare in our experience. We are aware of one other example of this trade card on blue paper sold with a letterhead dated 1846. For more information see Charles E. Smart "The Makers of Surveying Instruments in America since 1700" Vol 1 pp 99-100 and the Webster Scientific Instrument Database Online. Nothing in OCLC by this maker/importer. No catalogs or other information in Davis and Dreyfuss. [ Erasmus A. Kutz Sr. ] unknown books

Francisci son of the LÃ¼beck jurist Franciscus von Finx named himself "son of Franciscus" i.e. Francisci. More unusual than this endearing foible was his successful career as a free-lance man of letters. A prolific and popular polymath Francisci died at the age of 68 "having left behind almost as many volumes" Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie. Throughout his career he worked as a sort of house author with the Nuremberg publishing house of the Endter family. "There was hardly an area of knowledge at which he did not try his hand. As one of the first full-time professional authors of Germany Francisci understood how to switch if the need arose to a new area of interest that promised good sales for his publisher" Dunnhaupt Bibliographisches Handbuch I p. 628 my trans. With gusto and success he catered to an audience hungry for tales of distant lands for folklore and "a world saturated with wonders" Faber du Faur German Baroque Literature p. 198 compiling tales of travel and distant lands compendia of natural history and curiosities historical works and devotional meditations. As the thickness of this volume intimates Francisci's Sitzfleisch was awe-inspiring. His versatility huge readership and connections with many members of the "republic of letters" made him one of the most influential German writers of the Baroque. While the prose of his religious works may seem cloying to the modern reader they sold as well as his secular compilations. Being widely read across social classes fine copies of his books are rare. The 64 Bedenckungen considerations of the present treatise are interwoven with fables anecdotes and digressions. Each is illustrated with an engraved emblem Sinnbild set within an exuberant ornamental border the borders of most of the 21 unsigned plates apparently by a less skilled engraver than Schurtz are plainer. Francisci is known to have worked closely with his illustrators and presumably collaborated on the design of these engravings by Cornelius Nicolaus Schurtz Joachim von Sandrart and one other engraver the 21 unsigned plates are in plainer borders and appear to be the work of a less skilled engraver. Characteristically varied in subject-matter the emblems and emblematic scenes are largely secular showing scenes of war domestic life natural disasters seafaring including shipwrecks the plant and animal world including exotic species children romping fireworks alchemical apparatus and even an amputation and a corpse being dissected in an anatomy hall. Only a few contain biblical scenes. Most striking are the four folding plates frightening panoramas of Judgment Day and the two unearthly frontispiece illustrations of which the first shows two men a virtuous man and a sinner in bed dreaming of their respective afterlives. Himself a tireless hymn-writer Francisci dedicated this work on Doomsday to one of the most important composers of Baroque hymns Magdalena Sibylla of Hesse-Darmstadt Duchess of WÃ¼rttemberg 1652-1712. The book includes twenty original hymns or Kirchenlieder to be sung to identified choral melodies. The presumably less well-known music for one Trostlied hymn of consolation is provided on p. 257 with accompanying bass line. This edition collates :8 - :1.8 : : 8 -::8 A-4G8: the signing of the two preliminary quires is odd but this copy is complete. The double-leaf engraving at front may have been counted as the first leaf of the first quire since the first letterpress leaf following the letterpress title is signed ":iii". Both the first quire containing the title-leaf and dedication and the second containing laudatory poems signed by S. E. Gr. zu L and by Joachimus Simon the foreword and the table of contents contain no 8th leaf. This matches other copies and seems to have been due to composing miscalculations resulting in the removal of the final blank of each quire. Some cataloguers included the two-leaf engraved title or frontispiece in their folio count counting 15 preliminary leaves and others more correctly count 13 leaves.Not in NUC; OCLC locates a single copy in an American library at Berkeley. VD-17 reveals that this edition is one of two variant typesettings with the same imprint the other is VD17 1:664300Y; priority is not known and they may be different states of the same edition. A second edition or possibly a re-issue of these sheets appeared in 1684.
