Un ensemble de théâtre de papier pour enfants rare et très recherché par les collectionneurs, inspiré du film Pinocchio de Disney, édité au Danemark et conçu pour être assemblé en une scène miniature comprenant des personnages, des décors et des accessoires. Exemplaire complet dans sa boîte d'origine, la boîte a été réparée avec du ruban adhésif.

A very good or better copy.</p> <p>With contemporary manuscript annotations on two pages. First English edition of this American Revolution era political satire and bibliographical hoax.</p> <p>Anonymously written by Richard Tickell the text purports to publish the letters of Benjamin Franklin the “trading Ambassador†with de Sartine among others and various secret state papers. The sum of it all exposes France’s motives for aiding America and satirizes Benjamin Franklin’s activities in Paris.</p> <p>In the margins of p69 a brief indistinct sentence is scribbled. On p51 at the end of a “Franklin†letter this is written in a contemporary hand:</p> <p>"“What was the Effect strikethrough Consequence of all this silly indistinct word lined out flattery to our Ministers No-Body was concerned by it & our affairs went from bad to worse. Scarce was this Pamphlet out of the Press when Spain took part in the War & we lost indistinct word & Grenada British naval loss at the 1779 Battle of Grenada the combined Keels off Plymouth.â€"</p> <p>It seems unlikely that a reader writing marginalia in the spur of the moment would have struck out words and replaced them for their own private benefit.

19003298France: n/a 1900. Wonderful French architectural manuscript portfolio on 'Perspective'. This appears to be a student's own manuscript and sketches from an architectural or art course. All of the contents are dealing with perspective in different forms. Some are purely mathematical such as the design and sketches of cones and other shapes. Others are examples of sketches drawn in proper perspective. The portfolio contains a large number of loose leaves. Each aspect text in French has one or more illustrations following. Many but not all of the pages have pencilled numbers to the top edge. In total there are 48 pages of text and 64 pages of illustrations / diagrams. In fact there are a few more but we have only counted "significant" pages. The paper is a little darkened and there are a few very minor closed tears to the page edge. The folder has cracking to the spine edge and is darkened and at least one of the ties is still functioning. The front has a tipped on printed illustration with the title. An attractive and fascinating piece. 330 x 255 mm 13 x 10 inches. Magnifique portfolio de manuscrits architecturaux français sur 'Perspective'. Cela semble être le manuscrit d'un étudiant et des croquis d'un cours d'architecture ou d'art. Tous les contenus traitent de la perspective sous différentes formes. Certains sont purement mathématiques comme la conception et les croquis de cônes et d'autres formes. D'autres sont des exemples de croquis dessinés dans une perspective appropriée. Le portefeuille contient un grand nombre de feuilles volantes. Chaque aspect texte en français est suivi d'une ou plusieurs illustrations. De nombreuses pages mais pas toutes ont des numéros au crayon sur le bord supérieur. Au total il y a 48 pages de texte et 64 pages d'illustrations/schémas. En fait il y en a quelques autres mais nous n'avons compté que les pages "significatives". Le papier est un peu noirci et il y a quelques petites déchirures fermées sur le bord de la page. Le dossier présente des fissures sur le bord de la colonne vertébrale et est assombri et au moins une des attaches fonctionne toujours. L'avant a une pointe sur l'illustration imprimée avec le titre.

145237<p>Bas-Rhin Alsace France 1818. Broadside approx. 10½ × 8¼ inches. Ink manuscript on laid paper with red ink and pencil illustrations; watermark visible. Folded with creases light soiling irregular trimming and minor edge wear not affecting text or decoration; very good. Offered with: One-page German manuscript on matching laid paper with identical watermark also dated 1818. Folded with creases and a small perforation not affecting text; very good.</p> <p>Curious and crudely executed folk art this 1818 German-language taufschein baptismal certificate is decorated in ink and pencil. The text records the birth in “Diemringen†and baptism in “Rathsweiler†likely Ratzwiller a village near Diemringen in Bas-Rhin Alsace. Fitting the baptismal theme it features a chicken and egg motif symbolizing creation and new life. The opening lines in German transcription approximate read: “I’ve been baptized and registered The Book of Life includes me now My Father will love me eternally / And be merciful to His child / God surely knows me already for a long time / My name rests in His hand.â€</p> <p>Alternating lines circles and triangles frame the text in an abstract border with the chicken and egg motif placed prominently at the top. Square blocks of color in each corner may suggest a picture frame or reference the brass bosses found on elaborately bound 18th- and 19th-century Bibles.</p> <p>Accompanying the taufschein is a one-page untranslated German manuscript written on matching laid paper with an identical watermark also dated 1818. Both items appear to have originated in Bas-Rhin and were acquired together from an estate in Lancaster County Pennsylvania—an area of early German-speaking settlement. The family may have emigrated from Alsace after the post-Napoleonic upheaval of 1815 when widespread political and economic instability spurred migration.</p> <p>The watermark on both sheets is of the “Vryheyt†“Freedom†type used in Holland and later copied in England Sweden and the United States; see Churchill’s Watermarks in Paper nos. 79–108. The full watermark—visible on the illustrated sheet—depicts a lion holding a stave within a crowned circle possibly encircled by the motto “Pro Patria Eiusque Libertate.â€</p> unknown

19175680Japan: S.P. C1917. A beautiful Japanese family photograph album. Contains 38 photographs mainly silver gelatin including 4 CDV's and a couple of sepia and five photograph postcards. The curious feature of this album is that although it primarily follows the same Japanese family from Circa 1905-1917 the postcards that are tipped in have annotations in French and include Vietnam and Burma. A lot of the focus of the photographs is on the traditional dress of the women and you can see the transition from the kimono through to the modern woman about town. There are also two newspaper cuttings in French one on Japanese fashions and one on Japanese haircuts. Our personal favourite photograph is a rather grumpy looking old man in traditional costume. He is sitting for a formal celebration of longevity. On his chest are kanji characters: å…«åå… â€” meaning "86 years old" and to his side is a figurine which celebrates 86 years of life. The birthday boy doesn't look terribly pleased with the idea! The album is 23cm x 16cm. To the front cover is a colour photo postcard of a woman leafing through a photograph album. An annotation in French is dated 1917. "Cochinchinе Saïgon le 25 avril 1917" There is also a piece of kimono material tipped onto the cover. The album is now covered in protective plastic. There photographs vary in size. Quite a few are studio shots of individuals and the family. A lovely example of the genre. . Un magnifique album de photos de famille japonais. Il contient 38 photographies principalement des tirages à la gélatine d'argent dont 4 CDV et quelques clichés sépia ainsi que cinq cartes postales photographiques. La particularité de cet album réside dans le fait que bien qu'il retrace principalement l'histoire d'une même famille japonaise de 1905 à 1917 environ les cartes postales qui y sont collées comportent des annotations en français et font référence au Vietnam et à la Birmanie. Les photographies mettent souvent l'accent sur les tenues traditionnelles des femmes et l'on peut y observer la transition du kimono vers la femme moderne en ville. L'album contient également deux coupures de presse en français l'une sur la mode japonaise et l'autre sur les coupes de cheveux japonaises. Notre photo préférée est celle d'un vieil homme à l'air plutôt renfrogné vêtu d'un costume traditionnel. L'album mesure 23 cm x 16 cm. Sur la couverture figure une carte postale en couleur représentant une femme feuilletant un album photo. Un morceau de tissu de kimono est également collé sur la couverture. L'album est désormais recouvert d'un film plastique protecteur. Les photos sont de tailles variées. Bon nombre d'entre elles sont des clichés pris en studio représentant des personnes seules ou la famille. Un très bel exemple du genre. S.P. unknown

Hauer was the husband of Elizabeth and he hired four Irishmen newly arrived in the country to kill his brothers-in-law.
