Brown hardback cloth cover. 450mm x 340mm 18" x 13". 42 plates. 42 paper-guarded full-page engraved plates. 42 etchings from Richardson's original drawings.Many of these were originally intended to illustrate a history of the town by his brother Moses Aaron Richardson. The manuscript for that work however was never completed. Each of the engravings is accompanied by a brief piece on the subject matter.There is also a short biography of the artist and a list of the 1880 location of each original drawing. Thomas Miles Richardson 1784-1847 was born of an old Tynedale family who lived for generations in the neighbourhood of Wark. Evidence of his artistic talent led him to be placed at the age of fourteen with a Newcastle engraver. The latter died very shortly afterwards and effectively interrupted Richardson's artistic career. After a brief period as a cabinet-maker he succeeded his father to the mastership of St. Andrew's School Newcastle in 1806. He continued painting in his leisure time and seven years later left the school to devote himself full-time to painting. In 1822 together with the engraver Thomas Bewick and others Richardson inaugurated the first Fine Art Exhibition in the North of England. Twice married Richardson had a large family. His sons Thomas Miles jr. and Edward became notable artists in their own right. Heavy item - shipping supplement may apply for overseas. . Thomas & George Allan hardcover

18964969New York: Bartlett & Company The Orr Press 1896. Octavo 20.5 x 14 cm. 97 pages. Date derived from Water Street address on title page. An extensively illustrated trade catalogue of heating furnaces and cooking ranges. Before the 1830s gravity hot-air furnaces were produced according to the specifications of individual buildings. The first mass-market manufacturer in the United States was Richardson & Boynton established in 1837 and in business for more than a century thereafter. The company survived the competitive surge in home heating manufacturers in the decades after the Civil War Fuller & Warren of Troy for instance also advertised as "the oldest house in the trade" introducing innovations in fuel source efficiency flue design cleaning access and model size – to say nothing of aesthetic appeal – at a surprising rate. The foundries and shop buildings occupied a double block in Red Hook Brooklyn; corporate offices 232-234-236 Water Street were across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. By the 1890s Richardson & Boynton were advertising themselves as manufacturers of multiple designs of furnaces fireplace heaters laundry water heaters cooking ranges stoves and kitchen appurtenances such as kettles urns pastry ovens and steam tables. Owing ostensibly to climbing tunnage and wharfage costs the entire operation decamped to Dover New Jersey in February 1896. Elaborate illustrations with equally elaborate cutaways; specification charts. A bit of chipping to head and foot of wrapper at spine otherwise very good in two-toned brown wrappers with gilt decoration. Pages clean and bright. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of all other Richardson & Boynton cataloguesbut none of this issue; Romaine page 363 for other issues. Bartlett & Company, The Orr Press unknown
