179800341CATTLE PLAGUE BROADSIDE BY DR. FAUST --- 1 broadsheet 463 x 363 mm --- One of at least a dozen broadside editions of the prolific German physician's advice on treating the devastating cattle plague. We find others published at Stuttgart 1797; Bückeburg 1797; Leipzig 1797; Dresden 1799; Bamberg 1801; Leipzig 1813; a 1797 edition without place of production; undated editions at Karlsruhe and Gotha; an 1800 French version Strasbourg and another undated French edition. We suspect the content derives from the author's much more extensive <i>Über die Rindvieh-Pest</i>Stuttgart 1797. His advice was also issued in pamphlet form on which subject our broadside has a terse promotional note at end: "I have also written a book on rinderpest. Read it!" No doubt selling advice from any Dr. Faust required extra effort though he was admittedly quite respected and widely known for his <i>Catechism of Health</i>. At bottom are prices for the broadside both individually and in wholesale quantities of 100 and 600. ¶ There was good reason to produce and post these broadsides widely. "Cattle plague or rinderpest the highly infectious and most lethal of bovine diseases described as the most dreaded above all of animal contagions had repeatedly ravaged Europe since time immemorial" Spinage. Europe was hit especially hard in the 18th and 19th centuries where Germany alone lost an estimated 28 million cattle between 1711 and 1865. Beyond the tragic loss of life livelihoods were destroyed and economies distressed. ¶ Faust here provides a list of symptoms both external and internal; remarks on the fatality of the disease indicating that 25 million German cattle had been killed since 1711 the year of a notorious Italian epidemic; sundry facts and characteristics of the scourge "It's present in every season in all weather and in every country"; details on its transmission; comments on the uselessness of certificates of health and the dangers of the cattle trade; and preventative measures and treatment these accounting for roughly half of the broadside's content with discrete sections on actions to take based on when the disease arrived "If the plague has arrived within 30 or fewer hours there is danger!" plus advice should an infected animal be found in your community "Killing the first sick animal is the best and surest means of putting an end to rinderpest". We expect anyone literate charged with caring for cattle might have kept a broadside like this handy and communities at risk certainly would have benefited from sharing the information publicly. The vast geographic spread of their production betrayed the importance of reaching every corner of the country. Lemgo for example was hardly a great metropolis yet our printer thought it reasonable to offer this broadside in quantities of 600. ¶ We locate no other copies of this Lemgo edition. --- CONDITION: Printed on the recto only of a full sheet of laid paper. Hinged into a hinged matte. ¶ Brittle at the edges with some creases and chips; creased across both dimensions with a pinhole at the intersection and some toning along the horizontal crease. --- REFERENCES: C.A.

180030900MADRID: En la Imprenta de Joseph Doblado 1800. Primera edición.- 8º.- Plena pasta española de época lomera con tejuelo y ruedas doradas.- 115 páginas de texto incluida Portada.- 65 láminas fuera de texto grabadas representando planos el último plegado. Desgarro en una hoja de texto en el mapa plegado sin la más mínima pérdida y debidamente restaurado. Por lo demás muy buen ejemplar. En la portada de la obra consta nueva edición pero en ninguna bibliografía se cita una edición anterior salvo que se refiera a un plano conjunto de Madrid y Paris citado en la ""Cartografía de España en la Biblioteca Nacional Siglo XVI al XIX."" número 1268 que fue grabado por Asensio. El último plano que está plegado y grabado como los otros tiene unas dimensiones de 365 x 505 cms. y en la cartela se lee: ""Plano geométrico de Madrid demostrado con los 64 barrios en que está dividido"". Al pie del mismo: ""Fausto Martínez de la Torre lo delineó y grabó"". Es obra muy rara al estar completa. Alfonso García Escuder en su obra ""Mil libros en la Historia de Madrid número 524"" después de la descripción bibliográfica apostilla: ""Libro difícil de encontrar completo particularmente con el plano grande. De hecho solo hemos encontrado dos últimas ventas en 1994 y 1995 en las cuales se describen con 64 láminas y no 65 como tiene este ejemplar"".
