[Carboni, Elisabetta].MareMagnum

Manifesto. Continuare la rivoluzione e andare sempre avanti. [Rome], Comune comitato di cultura alternativa, [c. 1971].

Large rolled poster, 1400 x 485 mm. Clean screenprint in yellow ink on red coated paper, thin wooden stretchers to top and bottom. Rare poster in Italian and Chinese calling for the defeat of imperialism and American social-imperialism, featuring images of Mao and Zhou Enlai. A brash and brilliant piece of graphic design; a typical example of Carboni's visual style and her support for the Palestinian liberation movement. Besides the crowded pastiche of Chinese Republic iconography, exemplified by the two dragons entwined around upward-pointing rifles and the children happily wading upstream at centre, two symbols appear slightly out of place: namely the small maps of Africa and Palestine. The poster's iconography and Maoist phrases convey a distinctly anti-Zionist message, with Carboni drawing comparison between Mao's demands for the liberation of black peoples and the Palestinian struggle; both nations are subjugated by the yoke of American imperialism. Carboni produced a number of other pro-Palestine posters in the early 1970s, including two equally aggressive posters for the Comune. Carboni was evidently familiar with Mao's writings and the oft-repeated slogans of the CPC: the three big characters at the top declare this a "dazibao" poster, with the word "manifesto" superimposed on an AK-47. The other three dazibao-style slogans roughly translate as "long live Chairman Mao", "long live the people's/peasant's republic of China", and "the dictatorship of the proletariat". The Italian text consists of direct quotations from Mao: the intellectual youth must go from the city into the countryside; the young, the graduates of middle schools, high schools and universities must mobilize themselves, and the peasants will welcome them; all reactionaries are paper tigers, and appear more terrible than they really are; the black peoples must be liberated; strategically we must despise the enemy, but tactically we must take him seriously; fight egotism and criticise revisionism, etc. We have been able to locate only one other copy, in the Zurich Museum of Design. - A few minor creases to margins, some repairs to corners and margins of verso with white tape, some very minor chipping at centre, else very good.

Burtsev, N. L.MareMagnum

Narodovolets. Sotsial'no-politicheskoe obozrenie. No. 1. London, V. Bourtzeff, April 1897.

8vo. 39, (1) pp. With 2 photographs in the text. Original printed self-wrappers with tan paper spine strip. First of only four published issues of this journal of the Russian socialist revolutionary movement "Narodnaia Volia" (People's Will), perhaps best known for its affirmation of political terrorism and the successful assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. The journal was published by Vladimir Burtsev (1862-1942), a Russian revolutionary activist and publisher. Quite scandalously, the first issue openly reprimands the organization for failing to resist the Russian government and calls for assassinating Nicholas II. In 1898, Burtsev was arrested by British authorities based on this publication and sentenced to 18 months of hard labour. Numbers 1-3 were published in London in 1897; no. 4 followed in Geneva in 1903, for which Burtsev was deported and forever banned from the country. This issue also reproduces the photographs of two terrorists who unsuccessfully conspired to assassinate Alexander III in 1889 and had since died (Isaak Dembo and Sofia Ginsburg). Burtsev would later oppose the Bolsheviks after returning to Russia, and eventually he was arrested. Gorky secured his release and Burtsev once again fled Russia. He became an outspoken activist against both Soviet antisemitism as well as the fascist movements of the 1930s. - Traces of stamp and slight loss to upper right corner of front wrapper. Spine strip somewhat fragile; internally very good. From the famous collection of Socialistica of Marxist bibliophile and scholar Chimen Abramsky (1916-2010), who fled to London from the Soviet Union in the early 1930s and became a leading specialist in both Judaica and socialist thought. His enormous collection, parts of which were auctioned after his death, has recently been commemorated in his son's biography, The House of Twenty Thousand Books (2014).

Histoire generale et particuliere des finances, ou l'on voit l'origine, l'etablissement, la perception & la regie de toutes les impositions: dressee sur les pieces autentiques. Paris, de Bure l'aine, 1738.

Small folio. 3 vols. 4to. (20), 938, (2) pp. (8), VIII, (2), 1022, (2) pp. (12), 660, (2) pp. All title-pages printed in red and black. Contemporary full calf with labels to richly gilt spines. Marbled endpapers. All edges red. First and only edition. A principal source for the financial history of France; the chief work of the author. The third volume constitutes a history of the Compagnie des Indes, including a great number of facts and figures difficult to find elsewhere. The present three volumes are all that was published of a projected 40-volume complete history of French finances, compiled so as to resolve practical difficulties with the tariff. The first two volumes give a detailed account of the tariff of 1664 for exports (vol. 1) and imports (vol. 2). The author treats, alphabetically, hundreds of taxed goods, including books, clothing, drugs, gold, ivory, jewels, lace, matches, paintings, printing types, silver, wine, and weaponry. The first volume includes an introductory history of duties imposed by earlier regulations since 1304. The highly interesting third volume, with the half title "Histoire de la Compagnie des Indes avec les titres de ses concessions & privileges", deals exclusively with the French East India Company. The greater part of the volume (pp. 159-602) is taken up by sources: official documents, extracts from private memoirs, etc. The volume ends with a chronological index of facts and titles and alphabetical indexes of subjects, of geographical names (with numerous references to Asia and America), and an index of persons. - The archaeologist, poet and historian Du Fresne (1704-81) spent some time at the Prussian court of Frederick II and was a member of the Berlin Academy. He befriended Voltaire, who published the first edition of his "Siècle de Louis XIV" under Du Fresne's name. - Bookplates of the Belgian Château de Seneffe, owned by Julien Depestre (1725-74), a Walloon merchant who made his fortune by trade with the Imperial Austrian troops stationed in the Austrian Netherlands. Light wear to extremities but a fine set. Einaudi 1639. Kress 4380 (vol. 3 only). INED 1533. Stourm p. 38. Bourgeois/Andre 5918 (vols. 1 & 2) ("a work of the highest order") & 6031 ("of capital importance"). Sabin 21147 (vol. 3). Larousse du XIXe VIII, 755.

The fanned designs also reveals another cartouche in the same style, reading "Si faveat coelum, bene surculus, arbore crescet: Si mihi TU, faveas, sic EGO MAGNUS ero" and the monogram signature of an unknown artist below.

The Great Mirror of Folly. Het groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid vertoonende de opkomst voortgang en ondergang der Actie Bubbel en Windnegotie in Vrankrijk Engeland en de Nederlanden

172542567Amsterdam 1725. Folio. 15 3/8 x 10 inches. Title printed in red and black. Folding engraved frontispiece engraved list of plates within a decorative surround 1 title page and 87 engraved plates maps and broadsides 40 double-page 22 folding single-page 6 folding double-page and 17 single-page. Includes some plates with multiple variants. Vellum tooled gilt with 8 raised bands forming 9 compartments spine gilt morocco lettering piece in second compartment A rare work exhibiting a collection of contemporary satirical prints relating to the financial exploits of John Law and his infamous Mississippi Bubble. John Law 21 April 1671 - 21 March 1729 was a Scottish economist who believed that money was only a means of exchange that did not constitute wealth in itself and that national wealth depended on trade. He is said to be the father of finance responsible for the adoption or use of paper money or bills in the world today. Law was a gambler and a brilliant mental calculator and was known to win card games by mentally calculating the odds. An expert in statistics he was the originator of economic theories including two major ideas: The Scarcity Theory of Value and the Real bills doctrine. The present work records the economic crisis precipitated by Law. The crisis had its origins in the decision of the French regent Philippe d'Orléans to appoint John Law the Controller General of Finances for France. In May 1716 the Banque Générale Privée which developed the use of paper money was set up by Law. It was a private bank but three quarters of the capital consisted of government bills and government accepted notes. In August 1717 he bought the Mississippi Company to help the French colony in Louisiana. In 1717 he also brokered the sale of Thomas Pitt's diamond to the regent Philippe d'Orléans. In the same year Law floated the Mississippi Company as a joint stock trading company called the Compagnie d'Occident which was granted a trade monopoly of the West Indies and North America. The bank became the Banque Royale in 1718 meaning the notes were guaranteed by the king. The Company absorbed the Compagnie des Indes Orientales Compagnie de Chine and other rival trading companies and became the Compagnie Perpetuelle des Indes on 23 May 1719 with a monopoly of commerce on all the seas. The system however encouraged speculation in shares in The Company of the Indies the shares becoming a sort of paper currency. In 1720 the bank and company were united and Law was appointed Controller General of Finances to attract capital. Law's pioneering note-issuing bank was extremely successful until it collapsed and caused an economic crisis in France and across Europe. Law exaggerated the wealth of Louisiana with an effective marketing scheme which led to wild speculation on the shares of the company in 1719. In February 1720 it was valued for a very high future cash flow at 10000 livres. Shares rose from 500 livres in 1719 to as much as 15000 livres in the first half of 1720 but by the summer of 1720 there was a sudden decline in confidence leading to a 97 percent decline in market capitalization by 1721. Predictably the bubble burst at the end of 1720 when opponents of the financier attempted en masse to convert their notes into specie. By the end of 1720 Philippe II dismissed Law who then fled from France. Originally published by a group of Amsterdam booksellers the work has a convoluted bibliographic history owing to the ongoing enlargement of the number of prints published between late 1720 and the ensuing years coupled with the issuance of the plates as separate unbound sheets as well as later editions with yet more plates which maintained the title page dated 1720. In short nearly every extant example is unique in composition. "This remarkable complexity helps to explain why the book continues to fascinate scholars and readers to the present day: Het groote tafereel der dwaasheid in its many diverse copies represents an important witness to the events of 1720 and their aftermath which makes it valuable to cultural and economic historians . The book presents the rise progress and downfall of the deceptive trade of 1720 what that a group of booksellers who published it in 1720 when in Amsterdam where in order to restore social and ethical norms in Dutch society why by making fools of the greedy in a theatrical setting how. In short the Tafereel is an Amsterdam-born satirical comedy in disguise" Kuniko Forrer "Het groot tafereel der dwaasheid: A Bibliographical Interpretation" in The Great Mirror of Folly: Finance Culture and the Crash of 1720 Edited by William N. Goetzmann et. al. pp. 35-36. The present example corresponds to Forrer's third edition issued shortly after 1723 with the "Register" listing 73 plates and bound in a contemporary binding attributed to the Double Drawer Handle Bindery. This edition noted as the final edition published in the 1720s and the most complete including portraits of Madame Law and the King of the Mississippi "Der Koning van Missisipi" not found in earlier issues among other additions.

1720B5707c. 1720 . Altogether a very good and attractive copy of this important caricature platebook. . Edition: First Edition Binding: Contemporary full calf with raised bands in 7 compartments. Text on 2 gilt centerpieces and decorative borders in compartments. Notes: Text is in Dutch. â€œThis great Theatre of Folly representing the origin progress and downfall of the South Sea Bubble in France England and Holland is an exceedingly curious collection of emblematical plates and caricatures on the scheme of J. Law and the Mississippi Company and the imitations of it in Holland with their fatal results. Not a few of the scenes here depicted have been reproduced in the New York Exchange. The engravings which illustrate the rise and fall of the great speculation are full of humor; many of them are exceedingly ludicrous and some very obscene. They are finely engraved on copper and are accompanied with full descriptions in prose and poetry. So much offence was given to the English and French by this book that medals were struck by them in ridicule of the Dutch which was perhaps the beginning of the hostility which long existed in the minds of the English against the latter. The number of the plates in copies varies from sixty to seventy-four.â€ This first edition of the most elaborate publication was inspired by the economic events of 1720 primarily satirizing Dutch manifestations of the speculative mania that led to the Mississippi Bubble in France a financial scheme that shook the French economy to its core and instigated the use of paper money in the country; engineered by Scottish economic theorist John Law and the South Sea Bubble in England.â€ Sabin Size: Folio 394x235mm. Illustration: Illustrated with red and black title 74 engraved plates including many double-page or folding; 70 of 74 plates as listed in Koninck's rarely preserved index of plates of early editions; plates 26 29 39 and 71 of this list are not included but instead four other plates one of these a map entitled â€œLouisiana by the River Mississippiâ€.

Shares rose from 500 livres in 1719 to as much as 15000 livres in the first half of 1720 but by the summer of 1720 there was a sudden decline in confidence leading to a 97 percent decline in market capitalization by 1721. Predictably the bubble burst at the end of 1720 when opponents of the financier attempted en masse to convert their notes into specie. By the end of 1720 Philippe II dismissed Law who then fled from France. Originally published by a group of Amsterdam booksellers the work has a convoluted bibliographic history owing to the ongoing enlargement of the number of prints published between late 1720 and the ensuing years coupled with the issuance of the plates as separate unbound sheets as well as later editions with yet more plates which maintained the title page dated 1720. In short nearly every extant example is unique in composition. "This remarkable complexity helps to explain why the book continues to fascinate scholars and readers to the present day: Het groote tafereel der dwaasheid in its many diverse copies represents an important witness to the events of 1720 and their aftermath which makes it valuable to cultural and economic historians . The book presents the rise progress and downfall of the deceptive trade of 1720 what that a group of booksellers who published it in 1720 when in Amsterdam where in order to restore social and ethical norms in Dutch society why by making fools of the greedy in a theatrical setting how. In short the Tafereel is an Amsterdam-born satirical comedy in disguise" Kuniko Forrer "Het groot tafereel der dwaasheid: A Bibliographical Interpretation" in The Great Mirror of Folly: Finance Culture and the Crash of 1720 Edited by William N. Goetzmann et. al. pp. 35-36. The present example corresponds to Forrer's third edition issued shortly after 1723 with the "Register" listing 73 plates and bound in a contemporary binding attributed to the Double Drawer Handle Bindery. This edition noted as the final edition published in the 1720s and the most complete including portraits of Madame Law and the King of the Mississippi "Der Koning van Missisipi" not found in earlier issues among other additions.

The definitive modern study of the present work edited by William N. Goetzmann Catherine Labio K. Geert Rouwenhorst and Timothy Young. The volume reproduces and interprets the full range of plates satires and texts situating it within the broader visual and cultural history of the early modern financial revolution. Richly illustrated and deeply researched it brings together essays by leading scholars on economic thought print culture theatre and art illuminating how Law's System and the speculative mania of 1720 transformed Europe's understanding of credit risk and value.

Bucelin, Gabriel.MareMagnum

Rutiliae, longe vetustissimae et illustrissimae inter romane urbis principes familiae [...]. Feldkirch, J. Hübschlin, 1677.

4to. (4), 143, (1) SS. With engraved frontispiece and engraved portrait of Nautius Rutilius, both in splendid hand-colour, as well as an additional hand-painted portrait of Johann Joachim von Aichen on vellum. 18th century green satin binding over wooden boards with marbled endpapers (some damage to pastedowns); traces of clasps. All edges gilt. The rarest work of the Swiss scholar Bucelin: a genealogical study of the gens Rutilia, a Roman plebeian family to which the Italian Roverella family and the German von Aichen family trace themselves. Bucelin dedicated the work to the Austrian civil servant Peter von Aichen, who was ennobled in Lower Austria in 1666. It must have had a very limited press-run, and only six copies are known in libraries worldwide: in the Austrian National Library (the copy of the Imperial civil servant Joachim Windhaag) and in the University of Vienna (the Vienna Jesuits' copy), in the Lower Austrian Library in St. Pölten and in the State Library of Württemberg in Stuttgart (the latter institutions holding two copies each). The present seventh known copy is that of the Aichen family itself and contains a splendid portrait of the Lieutenant Governor or Lower Austria, Johann Joachim von Aichen (1664-1729), painted on vellum and decorated with drapery, architectural elements, allegorical figures, the family arms, and an inscription (overpainted in red and poorly legible), monogrammed and dated at lower right "JMP 1707". - The Benedictine monk Gabriel Bucelinus (1599-1681) from Diessenhofen in Thurgau, one of the most prolific scholars of the 17th century, taught as professor at the Weingarten monastery and served as provost of Feldkirch in Vorarlberg, where the book was printed. - Satin binding a little stained. A few areas of Aichen's portrait are rubbed or chipped in the paint; the marbled endpaper has been crudely peeled from the pastedowns. In all a very finely preserved specimen, a unique survival from the family of the dedicatee. No copy recorded in the trade. OCLC 311312169. Not in VD 17.
