Brown pebbled cloth rebacked leather backstrip with raised bands gilt-stamped bees and the binder's title "Florilége" sic in the compartments green coated endpapers. Cloth considerably stained backstrip rubbed pages lightly toned and foxed but sound overall. § A curious book appearing to be a lithographic facsimile of a manuscript in which pious reflections are inspired by wayside flowers in the format of a flora. With adept illustrations of the flowers and some religious scenes apparently drawn by the author printed on better paper in monochrome in one of three inks and tipped to each facing page. There is no title page instead the book opens with a quote from Chateaubriand's Les Martyrs published 1809 beneath which is the stamp "Déposé" and the handwritten inscription "Propriété de l'auteur." the name that follows is unfortunately illegible. The author appears to have been a French priest appending the suffix "ptre" here and also to the printed name "Jean" which closes the facsimile manuscript. Presumably multiple copies would have been printed but no others have been located. This copy came from the famous eccentrica and erotica collection of Gershon Legman. c. 1809-1820]. 8vo hardcover books

181318282Philadelphia: Redwood Fisher 1813. First edn. 8vo pp. 91. Untrimmed and uncut little soiled sewn self-wraps a very good copy . Imprints 28087 ArSC OCLaw. Scarce. With a very small Navy the US and its New England merchants paid a stiff price for the Napoleonic Wars. The situation continued to retrict US exports and the northeastern merchants were by no means enthusiastic supporters of the policies that brought on the War of 1812. Indeed Massachsetts merchants tried to employ the use of British licenses to insure their safety on the seas. This offers the case histories of four shipsthat were seized by the British.

18111793London: John Murray 1811. Second Edition. Hardcover. Brown leather Very good. 440 pages. 16.5 x 10 cm. A comprehensive household manual filled with what seems to be very helpful receipts and some of a dubious nature. Chapters filled with constructive advise on rearing livestock making butter brewing and the management of malt liquors the management of plants seeds and the greenhouse while other advice such as using a bush held by a rope to clean a chimney as opposed to employing a child children will damage the interior bricks seem a bit outdated. Accredited to Mrs. Rundell of New Systems of Domestic Cookery fame but there are many who think this is a false theory due to her well published falling out with the John Murray.

19079072New York: Ullman Manufacturing Company 1907. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good. Full color off-set printed multi-flap post card mailer with die-cut holes for puzzle and tab for closing. 3.5x5.5"; bright and unmarred with fully intact flaps. <br/><br/>An example of early 20th century Black Americana ephemera or as some refer to as 'Negrobilia' referring to a wide array of materials including mass advertisements postcards tourist souvenirs etc. with the image of an African American universally portrayed in a derogatory and racist manner. These items were produced and manufactured by and for white audiences that enhanced the perception of white racial superiority and class status. These type of items are particularly challenging to many communities however many scholars and private collectors alike agree these materials are historical records and reminders of the racist history of the United States and should not be invisible. The puzzle postcard is an example of mass produced racial stereotyping manufactured for an actual mailing enclosure. The instructions on the outside of the mailer state: "Arrange the flaps by placing one over another in such a manner as to show ONLY the eleven pickaninnies." <br /> <br />Reference: Goings Kenneth.
