Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of William Dunville see below. Doris Varner Welsh A Bibliography of Miniature Books 6611. Corners lightly bumped one spot of light rubbing to gilt on upper cover isolated spots of faint foxing but A VERY FINE SPECIMEN clean and bright inside and out the fore-edge paintings well preserved.<br/> <br/> This delightful miniature edition is adorned with two fore-edge paintings showing different views of the title city both visible when the book is open to the title page of part II of Tasso's Crusader epic "Jerusalem Delivered." Given the restricted area available for a "canvas" our artist has done a remarkable job both in the level of detail and the sense of space and grandeur the scenes evoke so it is not surprising that this volume was in the Irene Winterstein Collection of Important Miniature Books Christie's sale of 10 March 2000 lot 277 fetching $1455 all in. This is a rare miniature edition: Welsh records only one copy in her bibliography. Our copy belonged to Irish bibliophile and philanthropist William Dunville 1812-1874 who was also a whiskey magnate and magistrate. After its first founder John Dunville died William Dunville his only surviving son became the next chairman of Dunville & Co Belfast who are still famous for their whiskey today. He headed the company from 1851 to 1874. David Passigli unknown

1735911581735. ZUE TOKAI åœ–æœƒå®—å½ SOU-I 7 vols in one. Edo Suharaya Shimbei Kyouho 20 1735. Oohon 27.0 x 17.5 cm. Originally published as a series of artists's guides in a set in China in 1607 it was redone in Japan in 1702 then reprinted as here in 1735. Like the HASSHU GAFU å…«ç¨®ç”»èœ it had a large influence in Japan particularly on Nanga style artists. Everything human animal and vegetable is rendered in beautiful sumi-e woodblock prints. There are extracts from classic Chinese texts on painting technique going back centuries. A vade mecum for the Edo artist interested in the techniques and theory of Chinese painting. The seven volumes of the original are here rebound into a single volume with the original worn cover and title label. This gappon volume is complete and has been cleaned internally to neutralize staining. There are some pages that remain stained but the book is still a remarkable work which is quite scarce. Most copies referenced online are incomplete or microfilmed. See Mitchell 566 for his information on the original Chinese edition. It should be noted that the copy he saw of the Genroku 1702 edition was incomplete. Not a common set. Mitchell misreads ZUE as ZUKAI in the title. unknown

This intriguing advertising album filled with a sign painter’s samples appears to have been sponsored by the business owners who were members in The Home Club -- a private Lawrence Massachusetts social club located at 306 Essex St. which was active from the 1880s through the opening decades of the 20th century. This album was designed with bracing leaf in the back allowing it to be displayed open originally encouraging members to sponsor their businesses as they leafed through the very popular and eye-catching chromolithograph colour plates from Truth magazine. These cartoon illustrations surrounded the rituals and pitfalls of courtship matrimonial discord social hypocrisy and a decidedly misogynistic attitude towards women during the Gilded Age in regards to the changing roles and social power of women. The sponsoring manuscript signs encompass those from Orville Stowell’s 1863-1946 Hack Livery & Boarding Stable on Jackson St.; H.J. Tree’s Dye House and cleaners in locations on Lawrence and Essex E.H. Everett a trunk hand bag and sales goods dealer on Essex and the very popular German-American tailoring shop of Julius Schaake 1856-1906 Frederick Schaake 1826-1914 and Albert Augustus Schaake 1869-1923 operated for decades in Lawrence MA. The wonderful sign for the Lord & Co. Pianos in the Central Building of downtown Lawrence promoted the business founded by Daniel W. Lord 1840-1893 whose son George Lord 1874-1936 took over and expanded the company and set up a large showroom on Boylston in Boston featuring colour lithographs of a baby grand and upright piano models sold by the firm. The splendid ad for the Kress Bros. Carriage Wagon & Sleighs manufacturing business founded and operated by German-Americans Herman b. 1854 and Erhardt b. 1859 features tipped-in original albumen photos of Kress sleighs as well as a lithograph of 4-seated carriage produced by the company. Some of the advertisements are more personal such as that for Frank Russell fl. 1871-1895 a very popular photographer whose studios graced different locations on Essex St. during the Victorian era and was well known for his CDV’s and cabinet photos with a nicely rendered photo of Frank as well as stylistic rendering of his signature. Other popular businesses which appear include the French Puffer & Co. Crockery China & Glassware Solid Silver & Plated Ware featuring an image of an ornate double-handled silver tureen; John H. Kelly Locksmith & Gunsmith who also sold Bicycles & Bicycle Sundries along with shotguns rifles and ammunition with images of bicycles & double-barreled shotgun featured on the sign. Most of the contemporary notices listing Home Club members refer to members as members of the Merrimack Valley Country Club the local Masonic Hall and other fraternal organizations in 19th century Lawrence. n.p., American Lithographic Co., The Home Club, hardcover
