P4884Neapoli i.e. Bern: Presso Giacomo Palpiri i.e. V. I. Bakst 1863. Octavo 17.8 à 11 cm. Recent paper-covered card binding; part of front wrapper affixed to front board; 5 109 pp. Internally very good. First complete Russian translation of Heine's "Das Buch Le Grand" 1927. The work had been previously published in Russia but as the translator notes with significant cuts by the censor which greatly distorted Heine's humor and wit. Originally published in 1927 "Das Buch Le Grand" was the second of Heine's "Reisebilder". It is a work which embraces the spirit of Napoleon and the French Revolution and it served to cement his reputation as a witty leader among liberal German writers. It was This new edition was published in Bern Switzerland using a fictitious imprint at the printer's shop of V. I. Bakst founded in 1862 to satisfy a growing need for revolutionary and other illegal materials which could not be printed in Russia. Bakst was also instrumental in setting up a St. Petersburg illegal typography in 1862. A somewhat censored and shortened edition of Mainov's translation appeared in Moscow the same year. Ironically given Heine's own issues with censorship and his literary fate in nineteenth-century Russia this translation reproduces the fictitious censored passage in the original in which Heine composed a paragraph of dashes leaving only the words "The German censors. Idiots." KVK OCLC only show the copies at Humboldt Universität SLUB Dresden and Universitätsbibliothek J. C. Senckenberg. Not at the Russian State or National Libraries. unknown books

This work preceded the famous three volume set published in 1856: THE JAPAN EXPEDITION. GRAPHIC SCENES OF THE JAPAN EXPEDITION was a spectacular work and contained 10 hand tinted large and nine smaller colored lithographs to document the arrival of Perry & his Squadron. Most were drawn by Heine the young German who was the expedition artist. The complete work includes: 1. PORTRAIT OF M.C. PERRY. 2. MACAO FROM PENHA HILL. 3. PAGODA OF WHAMPOA. 4.

Of these exceedingly RARE lithographs one prints is now offered: PASSING THE RUBICON documents the event of July 11 1853 wherein Lt. Silas Bent from the Mississippi's first cutter confronted Japanese guard boats and a coastal Junk. This is illustrated in S. Morrison: "OLD BRUIN" COMMODORE MATTHEW CALBRAITH PERRY on p.327. This scene shows the American sounding party at work on Monday morning July 11th ".when a flotilla of thirty to forty guard boats filled with soldiers who presented quite a bristling front with their spears and matchlocks while their lacquered caps and shields flashed brightly in the sun confronted the flag launch under charge of Lt. Bent & the senior Japanese officer made minatory gestures with his iron fan and yelled orders which nobody in the American launch understood. The Lieutenant anxious to avoid a crash altered his collision course but dispatched another boat to the Mississippi to ask Capt. Lee to move closer. On the steamer's approach the guard boats retired. And Perry named the nearest point of land 'Point Rubicon' because no foreign ship had passed it for three centuries." See Morrison p.328. The lithograph PASSING THE RUBICON is 83 x 56.5 cm. overall print size is 83 x 49.5 cm. with top and side edges trimmed bottom edge slightly trimmed; overall browned with some surface scuffs tears laid down on an old cardboard complete illustration present with minor faults.

185646791New York: G. P. Putnam & Co 1856. Large folio approx. 20½ x 15" consisting of a title page and introduction leaf and 10 leaves of descriptive text to accompany each of the 10 plates of which one is a lithograph portrait of Commodore Perry from a daguerreotype by P. Haas 2 chromolithographs 7 lithographs printed in 2 colors on India paper and mounted as issued original pictorial wrappers with the title enclosed by 8 vignette scenes and an American eagle at the top the wrappers backed in blue cloth; the whole in the publisher's quarter green morocco lettered in gilt on upper cover; some soiling of the front wrapper and title page a little spotted but over all very good or better. Heine 1827-1885 was the official artist on Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-54. The sketches he produced of the places he visited and the people he encountered there together with the daguerreotypes taken by his colleague Eliphalet Brown Jr. formed the basis of the official iconograhy of the American expedition to Japan which remains an important record of the country as it was before the foreigners arrived in force. Upon his return to New York in 1855 he published several books: a collection of prints entitled Graphic Scenes of the Japan Expedition; and the 400 sketches which were included in Perry's official report as well as his memoirs Reiss um die Welt nach Japan Leipzig 1856. Bennett p. 53: "The plates are very beautiful Japanese scenes and places of special interest many times finer than the plates in the three-volume regular account of the Perry Expedition."

Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-54. On returning to the United States he produced several series of prints commemorating the trip. A group of six elephant-folio prints appeared in 1855 and the following year the present volume was issued in a smaller format with different images and with explanatory text. Both projects employed the New York lithographic firm of Sarony among the best lithographers in the United States at that time. "As artistic productions the pictures speak for themselves . none superior to them have been executed in the United States and they have no cause to shun comparison with some of the best productions of Europe" Introduction. Copies were produced tinted though with some plates with several colors on regular paper and a very rare deluxe hand-coloured issue on card like the present example. The plates are numbered and titled as follows 1. portrait of Perry; 2. Macao from Penha Hill; 3. Whampoa Pagoda; 4. Old China Street Canton; 5. Kung-kwa at On-na Lew-Chew; 6.

Grave yard at Simoda Dio Zenge. Bennett describes the plates as "many times finer than those in the regular account of the Perry expedition." His remarks on the work's great rarity are confirmed by its absence from both of Cordier's Japanese bibliographies. Two distinct issues of Heine's work were published: a regular issue with hand coloured plates on thick card; and the deluxe issue like the present with more elaborate hand coloring and on thick cards with glossy paper backings. The deluxe issue is considerably more rare than the regular issue.<br/> <br/>Bennett p.53; McGrath American Color Plate Books 123. G.P. Putnam & Company unknown books

1856WRCAM54032New York: Eliphalet M. Brown Jr. 1856. Six lithographs with integral descriptions and titles to the six plates all within an elaborate decorative border including vignettte scenes and portraits of places and people encountered on the expedition six lithographic plates printed in colors and finished by hand by J. Sarony & Co. 4 Boell & Lewis 1 and Boell & Michelin 1 all after Heine. Title leaf not present as usual. Elephant folio. Individually matted and framed. One print with repaired closed tears slightly affecting image. Occasional faint marginal foxing and dust soiling. Very good. Magnificent and very rare example of Heine's elephant folio-sized lithographic record of six lithographs illustrating the opening of Japan under Commodore Matthew Perry. In scale scope and quality of execution this is arguably the finest lithographic work ever produced in the United States and is among the rarest of all American color plate books. <br> <br> William Heine was the official artist on Commodore Matthew C. Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853-54. On returning to the United States he produced several series of prints commemorating the trip the first the greatest and the rarest of which is the present group consisting of a titlepage and six plates. These were overseen by the expedition's daguerreotypist Eliphalet Brown who was also an excellent artist and lithographer - he designed and drew the spectacular titlepage. The total number of sets of printed is not known but it is recorded that Brown gave 100 sets to Commodore Perry for distribution to members of the expedition. The number of sets sold to the public has not been established but was undoubtedly small. One of the reasons for the rarity of the complete set is that the plates were printed over two years by three publishers. Individual prints are occasionally encountered particularly the four printed in 1855 by Sarony of New York but the two other plates are much scarcer and were accomplished by different lithographers Boell & Lewis and Boell & Michelin. <br> <br> A secondary reason for the rarity of this set is the initial cost. It was significantly more expensive than Heine's GRAPHIC SCENES OF THE JAPAN EXPEDITION a much smaller folio published in the same year as the final plate: the popularity of this smaller set ensured that only very few of the magnificent larger sets were ever sold. The set consists of the following prints: <br> <br> 1 "Passing the Rubicon. Lieut. S. Bent in the 'Mississippi's' First Cutter Forcing his way through a Fleet of Japanese Boats while Surveying the Bay of Yedo Japan July 11th 1853." Printed by Sarony & Co dated 1855. <br> <br> 2 "First Landing of Americans in Japan. Under Commodore M.C. Perry at Gore-Hama July 14th 1853." Printed by Sarony & Co dated 1855. This print is the most dramatic of the series showing the first landing of Perry on Japanese soil. Through a flotilla of American landing barges with the ships' complement of Marines drawn up on the beach Perry proceeds to meet a Japanese delegation while Japanese troops ring in the Americans. In the foreground are two Japanese official launches and two Japanese officials stand in the right foreground. Perry's steamboats can be seen lying under steam in the left corner. <br> <br> 3 "Landing of Commodore Perry Officers & Men of the Squadron to Meet the Imperial Commissioners at Yoku-Hama Japan March 8th 1854." Printed by Sarony & Co dated 1855. <br> <br> 4 "Landing of Commodore Perry Officers & Men of the Squadron to Meet the Imperial Commissioners at Simoda Japan June 8 1854." Printed by Sarony & Co dated 1855. <br> <br> 5"Return of Commodore Perry Officers & Men of the Squadron from an Official Visit to the Prince Regent at Shui Capitol of Lew Chew June 6th 1853." Printed by Boell & Lewis dated 1855. <br> <br> 6 "Exercise of Troops in Temple Grounds Simoda Japan in Presence of the Imperial Commissioners June 8th 1854." Printed by Boell & Michelin dated 1856. <br> <br> This set of the Heine prints belonged to Major Robert Smith John Rodgers son of Commodore John Rodgers of War of 1812 fame and hung in his fine mansion on a hilltop outside of Havre de Grace Maryland.
